C29 Killing without mercy

Shangguan Wan laughed contemptuously when she heard this. She obviously had other methods, such as eliminating that sweet memory, but this old demoness was vicious and would kill without blinking.

It would be better to have a good fight than to say that he could not get his life back.

The cat demoness really admired her self-deprecating spirit. It seemed like the fox spirit also had a moment of consideration.

The two were engaged in a battle of demons. The silk of the Thousand Lives Palace fluttered chaotically as candles flickered.

The people outside did not know what was happening inside, but without their master's summons, they did not dare to barge in.

For the first time, the cat demoness found that Shangguan Wan was not easy to deal with, "I didn't know you had some tricks up your sleeves."

Shangguan Wan added another layer of inner Qi, although her body could not bear it, but she still held on, "Of course, you think that I will fight a battle I didn't prepare for."

Although there was a huge difference in cultivation experience, as long as he put in all his effort, it would still be enough for her to endure.

Furthermore, Shangguan Wan was smarter than the cat demon. She wouldn't fight her, so she tried to avoid her direct attack, using a roundabout way to find the cat demon's weak spot and give her a fatal blow.

This fight between the strong and the weak lasted for half an hour under Shangguan Wan's perseverance.

The people outside heard that something was amiss and were afraid that something might go wrong. They hurriedly went to the imperial study to look for the Emperor.

When the emperor heard that the empress and empress dowager might be fighting in the palace, he obviously didn't believe it. There had to be some kind of misunderstanding.

He always remembered the lesson from last time.

However, out of concern, he pushed away the trivial matters in his hands and rushed to the Thousand Lives Palace.

When the two demons in the hall sensed that the Son of Heaven had arrived, the cat demon took Shangguan Wan's palm and fell to the ground, spitting out blood.

When Nangong Yu saw everything, her shrewd eyes suddenly froze as her brows tightly knitted together.

Shangguan Wan read a lot of emotions from his face: disbelief, doubts, heartache, pain, helplessness …

She didn't have much hope for this. To Nangong Yu, she was the one who hurt the empress dowager and committed a heinous crime.

She stood on the spot, quietly waiting for him to finish. She didn't mind the cold palace or the heavenly prison, but at this moment, she could see very clearly that she wanted to be at peace with herself before she passed away.

The empress dowager was lying on the ground as she reached out a hand towards Nangong Yu. Her face was pale as she spoke softly, "My son, the empress wants to kill This Dowager. She wants to kill This Dowager …"

Actually, the cat demoness didn't receive any serious injuries at all, all of this was just an act to gain the emperor's sympathy, and to use the emperor's power to cripple Shangguan Wan.

As long as Shangguan Wan fell, she would lose an opponent, wouldn't that be wonderful?

"Servant, Imperial Physician Xuan, if anyone dares to reveal even half a word of what happened today, they will be killed without mercy."

Nangong Yu didn't even walk over to help the empress dowager up. Instead, he walked straight up to Shangguan Wan and pulled her out of the palace.

Shangguan Wan watched every move and felt mixed emotions.

He took her to the long corridor of the imperial palace, took off her coat, and put it on her without saying a word. Shangguan Wan was like a puppet, allowing him to manipulate her.

What did he mean? Stop pursuing the matter?

Nangong Yu had his hands behind his back as he looked at the jade toad floating in the sky. A smile was plastered on his face; it was clear and bright.

What was not clear was that she had underestimated his feelings for her.

"Your majesty, you don't want to ask."

He acted as if nothing had happened after such a big thing had happened. It was truly strange.

"Ask what? Why did you injure the empress dowager? " Nangong Yu's eyes shined as he lowered his gaze and smiled.

He knew perfectly well what kind of woman Shangguan Wan was. For no reason or cause, how could he accept her mother's words and condemn her for her crime?

Although this was his first time encountering a battle between two wives, he was confident that he would be able to handle it well.

He remembered that she had said something about not looking at the surface, and he had always kept that in mind.

All he had to do now was trust her, unconditionally.

Shangguan Wan was speechless, she wanted to hear what he had to say.

"If I didn't bring you out of the Hall of Longevity earlier on, you should be well aware of what would happen. Therefore, there's only the two of us now. You can explain and I will listen." He had raised his own mother on one hand, and his beloved woman on the other.

Unknowingly, this woman was actually so important to him, causing him to lose all his previous principles.

Shangguan Wan smirked, she didn't know how to explain it. It was an accident that the empress dowager was bleeding out the empress dowager, even a ghost wouldn't believe her.

However, she couldn't tell him that the empress dowager was currently a fake. The truth was that she was a cat demoness, and it was unknown whether she was dead or alive. Now that the imperial court was in the midst of all this, how could she let him suffer any more?

It was better to let himself think of a way. It was already not an easy feat for him to reach this step.

"Hmm?" Nangong Yu tilted his head to the side, looking into her clear eyes. A woman with such a pair of eyes wouldn't have such a vicious heart.

Shangguan Wan rested her head against his heart, "I don't want to explain."

"Alright then." He held her body, whatever it was, as long as she was willing to stay by his side.

They were both very glad that he had said that he only believed in her. He had really done it today.
