Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 562: A Double-Edged Sword

"The new emperor ascends the throne, the grand ceremony begins!"

At this moment, a loud voice came from afar. Except for their location, others also knelt down, shouting "Long live the emperor!"

"Long live, long live, long live!"

"Long live, long live, long live!"

Amidst these simultaneous exclamations, the new Emperor Qi Junji, wearing the majestic Dragon Robe, was escorted by the ministers, slowly ascending the Golden Hall from ninety-nine steps below.

Long Yue slightly lifted her head, looking at Lady Lin not far away. Earlier, she thought things were complicated, but when Lady Lin led them here to kneel, she realized that this person was arranged by Emperor Qi Yun.

Because only in such a secluded place, can one avoid drawing attention and make a better escape.

Now, just waiting for that bell toll.

As soon as it rings, she would act immediately.

Right now, she’s alone, but she knows there will surely be others to support along the way.

Time passes, every moment is so hard.

Finally!

"Dong dong dong——"

The heavy morning bell finally sounded. The shouting of "Long live, long live" became more intense, almost resonating in unison, even the earth was slightly trembling.

"Bang bang bang!"

There were fireworks being launched high into the sky. Even though it was daytime, the fireworks blossomed beautifully, stirring the heart.

It’s time, it’s time to act!

Long Yue looked around, just at that moment, a palace maid suddenly clutched her stomach and fell to the ground. Seeing her face pale, looking very uncomfortable, naturally attracted people’s attention.

"What’s wrong with this person? Fainting at the new emperor’s coronation ceremony, is she deliberately disrespecting His Majesty? Carry her away, quickly carry her away, don’t be an eyesore!"

A guard in charge immediately shouted, and someone quickly went forward to drag the palace maid away.

However, just as one palace maid was dragged away, several more started falling down too, and some were even convulsing, like epilepsy.

The guard’s eyes immediately turned red, infuriated, he waved and yelled: "Carry them away, carry them all away, damn it, what bad luck!"

Carrying one person no big deal, but carrying several would create some chaos, allowing Long Yue to quickly seize the chance to leave this place, heading straight for the Cold Palace.

There were guards outside the Cold Palace, but Long Yue was fearless. When she arrived, a fight had already broken out.

In total, two forces were in conflict, one she recognized as the soldiers previously guarding the gate, but the other she did not recognize.

These two teams were locked in battle, gradually, the side Long Yue did not recognize was gaining the upper hand.

She knew this team was sent by Qi Yun, and without a word, she charged forward, picked up a fallen long sword, and began to slash, shouting: "There are traitors, quick, eliminate the traitors!"

This was the code Li Qingmu had given her yesterday to distinguish friend from foe.

Upon seeing this, those men did not attack Long Yue, continuing to slaughter those loyal to the Empress and Crown Prince’s faction.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"

Long Yue’s martial arts were also very decent, once trained by Cao Wanjun herself. She wielded the long sword with expertise, and soon, several corpses laid at her feet.

Slashing through the crowd, those people continually gave way, she charged straight to the room where Qi Junlian was being held, unlocking the door.

"Yue’er!"

Qi Junlian and Lady Li Fei had been waiting for some time. Seeing her arrive was a joy, indicating things were going in a positive direction.

"Yue’er, actually you and A Mu didn’t have to come, the Emperor had planned everything well, you don’t need to take such risks!"

Lady Li Fei spoke warmly to Long Yue, smiling.

Long Yue said: "I don’t care, I act from my heart, as for the danger, is there anything absolutely free from danger in this world? Enough of reminiscing, let’s hurry and leave!"

"Okay!"

Long Yue led Lady Li Fei and Qi Junlian out, preparing to meet up with the others in front, when suddenly several people in black armor appeared ahead.

Their black armor covered even their eyes beneath crystal plates, almost impenetrably.

Long Yue’s heart skipped a beat, her mood suddenly heavy.

She knew these people, they once intercepted and tried to kill her and her husband—Tianxing Pavilion’s Tianquan Black Armor Army!

Sure enough, the ones pursuing them before were sent by Pang Wenzheng!

Pang Wenzheng!

Long Yue gritted her teeth, her heart filled with rage!

Others say a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, but this so-called father repeatedly persecuted his own blood, is there really no family bond at all?

Long Yue felt desperate, she closed her eyes slowly, but opened them again with determination replacing despair!

You are ruthless, I shall be unyielding!

With no choice left, all she could do was forge ahead bravely!

"Yue’er, these are Tianxing Pavilion’s people, quickly take the Princely Heir and leave, I’ll cover you!"

Shi Qin was actually very skilled in martial arts, having once managed to escape from these guards to alert Li Qingmu and his wife. Now, she decided to cover them while Long Yue swiftly took Qi Jingyu to safety.

As long as the Young Prince is safe, there is hope!

"Shi Qin, I have something here that might be useful!"

Long Yue took out a brocade box given by her master earlier, containing various bottles and jars, among them was something called "Armor Erosion Powder."

As the name suggests, it’s for eroding armor.

If it were merely for ordinary armor, her master wouldn’t have been so cautious in handing her the box.

Shi Qin looked at the box Long Yue took out, first surprised, then elated: "Great, it’s Armor Erosion Powder, recently developed by Mr. Duanmu. Good, good, there’s hope, you wait here!"

Shi Qin finished speaking, took the Armor Erosion Powder, and charged into battle with the Black Armored people, scattering the powder as she fought.

It works instantly, to prevent them from noticing their allies’ armor disintegrating and becoming alert, Shi Qin employed top-tier Qinggong, moving stealthily through the Black Armored ranks.

Soon, the Black Armored side let out painful screams.

Long Yue didn’t know the consequences of the armor’s corrosion, but judging by their agony, it was clear it was very severe.

"These armors are usually their livelihood, but everything in this world has duality. While protecting them, there’s also risk, as now, with the armor corroding, there are many special materials inside that seep into the flesh, causing excruciating pain."

Qi Junlian’s gaze was profound. Though physically weak, he was well-read; in a few words, he explained their doubts.

Long Yue smiled slightly: "This exactly echoes the saying - ’Achieved by Xiao He, destroyed by Xiao He!’"

"Exactly!"

"Mrs. Li, since we’ve escaped, let’s hurry and assist Mr. Li, he’s probably encountered these Black Armored soldiers too!"

Qi Junlian suddenly said.
