The last thing that remained in my ears was the worried and confused voice of the old etiquette officer.
.......
No one expected that His Highness would be assassinated in his own bedroom.
This is an extremely serious accident!
Your Majesty had just set out on a southern tour when an assassin managed to get through the layers of scrutiny in the imperial palace and assassinate the little princess. What this means is simply chilling.
Especially after several powerful people in the Sea Crossing Realm took action and recalled the scene, they were even more shocked.
The assassin turned out to be just a small cultivator at the peak of foundation building...
But because the route seemed to have been designed and passed through several magical restricted areas, the traces left behind were intermittent, and it was impossible to find out where the assassin appeared and where he left.
When this happened, all the guards in the imperial palace became panicked.
Even a minor cultivator at the peak of the foundation building stage could calmly complete the assassination in the Imperial Palace and leave, which can only mean two things.
First, the security of the Imperial Palace had become so rotten that it couldn’t even stop a peak Foundation Establishment level enemy.
This was a serious dereliction of duty. If it weren't for several people from the Crossing Sea Realm who stepped forward to protect him, and the fact that it was not realistic to replace the guards at this critical juncture, the outcome of all the guards being exiled to the southern wilderness could have been avoided.
second...
Such a skillful route and such an easy assassination would never have been possible if the assassin was not familiar with the Imperial Palace.
In other words, there is an assassin inside the imperial palace!
The entire imperial palace guard immediately conducted a self-examination and actually found a few traitors, but they all knew nothing about the assassination.
However, putting these issues aside, the most serious issue at the moment is the injury of the little princess.
After discovering that the little princess had been assassinated, the imperial physician immediately rushed to the scene. After examination, it was found that the little princess's injuries were almost fatal, but she had not died.
The dagger completely pierced the heart, but deviated slightly, resulting in failure to kill the little princess immediately.
As long as the life can be saved, the imperial physician can save the patient no matter how serious the injury is.
The main reason is that the little princess has never practiced cultivation, her soul is weak, and she can't withstand the torture. Otherwise, even if she was really dead, she could be pulled up.
After careful care, Luo Xue finally woke up. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the worried old etiquette officer.
"Your Highness, you finally woke up..."
When the old etiquette officer saw Luo Xue open her eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief. The heart that had been in her throat was slightly relieved, but then a bit of worry appeared in her eyes again.
All these actions indicate that the little princess was assassinated with the help of an insider.
She remembered what the Emperor and Empress had said not long ago. She was afraid that this so-called accomplice... was His Majesty the Immortal Emperor.
I didn't expect His Majesty the Immortal Emperor to act so quickly...
"Are you...worried about me?"
Luo Xue looked at the worry and concern in the old etiquette officer's expression and asked without thinking.
After the truth was revealed, she could see that the old lady of etiquette knew that she was actually a stand-in for the princess.
Is it really worth worrying about a mere stand-in?
"Of course, Your Highness." said the old lady, the etiquette officer.
"If anything happens to Your Highness, I will risk my life... Bah, bah, bah, what am I talking about? Your Highness is blessed by heaven and will be able to escape danger."
"...I hope so."
Luo Xue said softly.
At this moment, she actually saw the determination in the eyes of the old etiquette officer, and this sentence seemed to be a true expression of the nanny's true feelings.
Is it worth it just for a substitute?
"Mammy, please go out first. I want to rest for a while." Luo Xue closed her eyes tiredly. "If you want to eat, just ask the maids to bring it in..."
This was not an act. The sword that Luo Xue stabbed at herself was not fake, and it was also true that she was almost dying. Only in this way could she avoid arousing suspicion.
Moreover, in everyone's eyes, Luo Xue is just a powerless mortal, and basically no one can associate her with directing and acting in the play herself.
"Okay, okay, your highness, take a good rest." The old lady of etiquette stood up tremblingly and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, the murderer...I will definitely find him for your highness."
He is just a person at the peak of foundation building stage. Even if he was an assassin sent by His Majesty, and she accidentally killed him during the capture...it shouldn't be considered a serious crime, right?
Hearing this, Luo Xue shuddered slightly.
The old lady of etiquette said this... as if she was going to crush the murderer to death once she found him.
But Luo Xue herself is the murderer...
Never mind, since he's already covered in skin, I can't search his soul with the backtracking technique alone, and I can't find any clues at all.
Many important palaces cannot use the backtracking technique to prevent it from being used by interested parties to obtain secrets. Luo Xue is aware of this and is able to plan a perfect escape route.
I just feel a little sorry for Senior Sister Li. Luo Xue had certain considerations before using Senior Sister Li's real appearance.
First of all, Senior Sister Li is probably still in the Four Regions of Jiuzhou. It is not that easy to get out of the cage world. Several ancestors were unable to break the cage until the end of their lives, not to mention that Senior Sister Li was just a spirit when Luo Xue left that world.
Secondly, the ghost girl is something that Luoxue is used to, and she will need it when she leaves the palace later, so she cannot be put on the wanted list.
The most important reason is that Luo Xue’s face sculpture is too poor, which easily reveals flaws and can be seen as a disguise.
Once the disguise is questioned, an irreparable crack will appear in this plan that should have been perfect, and it will be difficult to carry out the follow-up.
Now it seems that no one questions the authenticity of the assassination, and no one questions the existence of the assassin. The first step of Luo Xue's plan was successful.
Luo Xue didn't open her eyes again until the nanny, the imperial physician, and all the maids around had left.
Almost in an instant, her injuries were completely healed.
"Now, it's time to start decorating the entire room..."
Luo Xue took out the formation runes that she had prepared before and began to construct it.
The second step of the plan is the key to escape from the Imperial Palace.
"Fortunately, in the past few months, I have cracked the Taoist text on the Ligong token and constructed the formation. Otherwise, this matter would be quite tricky..."
Luo Xue kept muttering, but her hands did not stop moving.
The reason why she did not directly use the Ligong Formation was because if she used it in this way under normal circumstances, it would be easy for people to detect her and she would not be able to leave the imperial capital.
The disappearance of the princess is even more serious than her assassination...if they start looking for her, there is a possibility that the Thousand Transformations Cultivation Technique will be exposed.
Only by making a detailed plan can one successfully escape from the Imperial Palace.
However, after Luo Xue learned that the real Snow Princess was someone else, part of the plan had to be changed.
It can even be said that with the real Snow Princess, Luo Xue's plan will become more perfect.
When everything in the room was arranged, Luo Xue took out her small storage bag, put all the necessities she had prepared earlier into it, tied it around her waist, and then lay back on the bed.
"Now, we just have to wait until...meal time."
.......
"Princess Snow... was assassinated?"
The empress was slightly stunned. The person who came to report to her was not the old etiquette officer, but a maid in ordinary clothes.
The Nangong family had planted many hidden threads in the Imperial Palace, and the Emperor and Empress had even received the news before the imperial physician arrived at the Princess's bedroom.
"Yes, these are all the retrospective images, please check them out, Madam."
The half-kneeling maid respectfully took out a Taoist token, raised her hands above her head, and handed it to the Emperor and Empress.
The emperor and empress reached out their hands and touched it slightly, and after a moment, they burst out laughing.
"Haha, it turns out to be like this, how interesting..."
The maid remained silent and just lowered her head.
"Go down."
The Empress waved her hands. She squinted her eyes and propped up her chin as she looked at the flower bud that was becoming bright again.
"You should be thankful that Emperor Dugu is on a southern tour, otherwise... you wouldn't be able to hide this little trick from him."
The image contained a strange girl, whose manners and actions were not at all similar to Princess Snow, and even the Emperor and Empress could not spot the flaw.
But after watching the video, the Emperor and Empress knew that this was just a self-directed drama.
Because she controls the entire imperial palace, she knows all the traitors clearly, including the layout inside the imperial palace.
More importantly, the Emperor and Empress already knew that Luo Xue possessed the cultivation base at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, but she had hidden it in some way.
All these phenomena allowed the Emperor and Empress to instantly deduce the true situation of the matter.
However, what the Emperor and Empress did not understand was why Luo Xue did all this.
"But what a coincidence. I originally wanted to add some fire to this boring imperial palace... The little girl did help a little. I will thank her when I have the chance."
The Empress bent her slender fingers, with a bright smile on her lips.
"Let Concubine Min meet her daughter..."
"What a poor child, but dying in his mother's arms must be a very happy ending."
The Emperor and Empress had no way of killing Concubine Min, because the Immortal Emperor had placed unprecedented restrictions on her, and the difficulty of harming her life was almost the same as facing the Immortal Emperor directly.
Even Concubine Min couldn't commit suicide, as her life no longer belonged to her.
but...
Killing a person may not mean taking action.
th.
Not long after, another round of chaos broke out in the Imperial Palace.
There was a fire in the cold palace.
Chapter 168: Escaping from the bedroom, the encounter between the real and fake Xue'er
The sudden fire in the cold palace distracted countless guards. Coupled with the assassination of the princess that had just happened, the entire palace was in chaos.
All these things that happened one after another made people wonder if there was a problem inside the imperial palace.
Although the fire in the cold palace was quickly put out, this strange fire still burned down the entire cold palace.
Concubine Min, who was originally locked up in the cold palace, was secretly brought out and temporarily settled in her previous bedroom.
But...this "secret" is obviously not very secret.
As if it was some kind of deliberate arrangement, the news about Emperor Min's concubine spread quickly.
The guards and maids throughout the imperial palace were spreading the news privately, causing panic among the people.
Although Luo Xue had been lying on the bed, the entire princess' bedroom was under her control, and countless monitoring formations were set up around the bedroom.
She was waiting for meal time to come. Only at this time could the maids enter and leave the princess's bedroom under strict security.
When a group of maids carrying food entered the princess's bedroom, Luo Xue noticed it and perked up a little.
At the same time, she heard that although these maids all kept their heads down while on the road, they were vaguely communicating with each other through spiritual power.
"Ok?"
Luo Xue's curiosity was aroused. She had set up many formations in the bedroom, including one that could be used for eavesdropping and could also be used to transmit messages in secret.
The maids were only at the Yunling Stage, while the formation set up by Luo Xue was at the Jindan Stage level, so it was easy for her to eavesdrop on their conversation.
“…”
After listening for a while, Luo Xue frowned tightly.
Apart from some insignificant family gossip and discussion about the sudden fire in the cold palace, the maids' conversation also mentioned the matter of Emperor Min's concubine.
Only then did Luo Xue realize that the fact that Emperor Min's concubine was staying in the cold palace had been a secret before, and it was not until the fire in the cold palace that it was completely exposed.
Today, Concubine Min lives near the princess' bedroom. Her original bedroom was next to Princess Xue's. After all, they are mother and daughter, so it is understandable that they live close to each other.
"Why did it happen at this time..."
Luo Xue frowned slightly and was about to think, but at this time the maids had already arrived at the door of the room and knocked gently.
"Your Highness, it's time to eat."
