"If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have become the present Chu Di. royal father, mother, and millions of citizens of the Nanzhao wouldn't have died either. The fierceness and decisiveness in Mu Qian Xue's words caused Dong Fang Su's pupils to constrict, "You want to perish together with Xiao Ruo Ao?"

Mu Qian Xue did not answer him, but instead said slowly: "I am very clear on the situation of the West Chu. I have to say, with the death of that son of Xiao Ruo Ao, those brothers who have been bestowed the title of Emperor will fight amongst themselves over the position of Emperor, and even cause the West Chu to be torn into pieces. Since the Qi is at the border of the, and has been suppressed by the Northern Week for many years, the Qi Di will never let go of an opportunity to expand the territory.

She gritted her teeth and enunciated each word clearly: "He caused the destruction of my country and my family. I want him to become the sinner of the entire West Chu, regretting it for the rest of his life!"

Dong Fang Su walked in front of Mu Qian Xue and secretly took a sniff of the smell of gunpowder that had been lingering on the tip of his nose since the very beginning. His gaze finally landed on the small bag that was wrapped in sheepskin beside Mu Qian Xue, and said in a heavy voice: "If my guess is not wrong, there should be gunpowder inside, which is the bargaining chip you used to take Xiao Ruo Ao down with you."

"That's right, so hurry up and leave. If they discover you, you won't be able to escape even if you want to." After she finished speaking, she turned to Xia Yue and said, "Once they leave, go and spread the news as per my orders for them, lure Xiao Ruo Ao over to the Yongde Palace, and then, take advantage of the chaos to leave!"

Xia Yue looked at her in a daze for a while, and in the next moment, she shook his head with all her might, and shouted anxiously: "Don't! Empress, please don't! You will die if you do that! "

"I am already destined to be a dead man. Rather than dying for nothing, I might as well take this opportunity to destroy Xiao Ruo Ao and the thing he cares about the most!" Before she finished speaking, Dong Fang Su's cold and solemn voice rang beside her ear, "Do you think Xiao Ruo Ao will regret this? No, because before the West Chu was destroyed, he was already dead. People die like lanterns being extinguished, and he doesn't know anything.

"Moreover, Xiao Ruo Ao was able to trick you for so long, you can see that his thoughts are extraordinary, are you sure he will be tricked by you, and die under these gunpowder?"

Mu Qian Xue pursed her lips. What Dong Fang Su had said was not something that she had not thought of, it was just that … She had no other choice!

Dong Fang Su saw through her thoughts, took a step forward, and said with flickering eyes: "You do not only have this choice, although I do not have a magnificent army, as long as I have a breath of air, I will definitely take you out of West Chu!"

"Brother Mu told me before that even though you are a girl, you are still a world-shocking talent. Rather than dying like this, it's better to leave your life and let Xiao Ruo Ao personally see the thing he cares about the most, be destroyed in your hands.

"Personally …" Mu Qian Xue muttered these two words as she lowered her head to look at her pure and slender hands. As long as she had enough troops and backup, she could indeed destroy West Chu. The Nanzhao had already been annihilated. She was alone, so how could she possibly fight against an entire country?

She raised her head and looked at the cold face that was just inches away from her. "Will you help me?"

"Yes!" The spring light shone through the brocade window step by step, casting a crisscross shadow of the window pane on Dong Fang Su's cold and solemn face.

His answer was always so simple, he never said anything extra, nor any kind of warm and considerate words to make Mu Qian Xue fall in love with him. He was just like a log, standing there, no matter if it was the wind or rain, he would not bend at all.

"What's going on? Why are all the Yongde Palace s asleep?" Xia Yue was closest to the hall door, and quickly opened it a crack to look outside. She saw a Cao dressed in luxurious clothing, under the escort of a group of palace maids, quickly walking over, on their way there, there were many palace maid s either sitting or lying on the ground, all of them without exception with their eyes closed, unconscious.

Xia Yue hurriedly closed the door, and said in a panic: "Not good, it's Imperial Concubine Cao!"

secretly clenched his hands by his side. Yongde Palace was forbidden, and the reason Cao was able to enter this place, must be because of Xiao Ruo Ao's permission, and his goal …. There was only one!

Before he could process his thoughts, there was already a heavy knock on the door from behind Xia Yue, "Open the door! "Quickly open the door!"

Xia Yue pressed against the door, at a loss of what to do: "Empress, what do we do?"

Once the Cao entered, sshe would find out that Dong Fang Su still had the smell of gunpowder all over the room. At that time, he would not be able to hide anything.

At this time, the knocking on the door suddenly became silent, completely silent. If it wasn't for the human figures still visible outside the door, they would have thought that they had left.

"Someone, break open the door for me!" This arrogant and overbearing voice was without a doubt from the Cao.

Taking the chance that they were preparing, Mu Qian Xue suddenly said: "Open the door!"

Xia Yue shook her head anxiously, "No, once I open the door, they will know everything."

Mu Qian Xue shot a glance at Dong Fang Su, and said: "If you don't open the door, they won't leave. Open up!"

Seeing that Mu Qian Xue was adamant, Xia Yue had no choice but to open the door. Once she opened the door, the internal supervision who had been accumulating energy outside immediately fell to the ground and cried out.

Cao did not even look at the two, she only stared at Dong Fang Su and the rest who were dressed as eunuchs, the palace maid who followed her in sniffed a few times before her expression changed and she went close to Cao's ear and whispered: "Empress, this servant has a smell of gunpowder, and they were unwilling to open the door just now, so there must be something strange here, please be careful!"

Cao nodded her head calmly. Her eyes moved slightly as her gaze landed on Mu Qian Xue, "Your Majesty wants to see you, come with me to Myriad Temple immediately."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to walk out, but she was stopped by Dong Fang Su who moved a step. Her face was slightly pale as she shouted: "Insolent slave, who are you?

Her rebuke did not cause Dong Fang Su to move aside, nor did she even move a muscle. Instead, a voice as cold as ice came from behind Cao, "Xiao Ruo Ao sent you, is it to send me to Myriad Temple, or... Kill me? "

Cao's expression changed, as she turned her face away and said uncomfortably: "I don't know what you're talking about, but you can just follow me to Myriad Temple." As she spoke, she circled around Dong Fang Su and was about to leave, but before she could even take two steps, her shoulder was firmly grabbed by someone, causing her to be unable to move.
