ionally released the treasure map that the other party cared about, just to entice him.The location of the treasure trove has been found, but the key to enter it is missing. Therefore, those with inte...When Liàn Yī heard Dǒu Dǒu's message, she raised an eyebrow and asked:

How did he come in

He came in through the secret passage.

"Secret passage"

“Yes, should DuoDuo go to stop them”

Let them in! But block their escape route.

Ripples commanded calmly.

Yes, Master!

A moment later, screams from the maidservants and the clash of swords echoed from within the inner hall.

Yunsan and Hongye looked at each other and immediately stood in front of the ripples.

Yun Shan drew out the soft whip at her waist. Hong Ye's face darkened, and he patted the jade buckle on his waist, opening the secret clasp and drawing out a soft sword. Without looking back, he said to Lian Yi:

Mother, please do not go out, we will protect you.

"Well, Mother has great confidence in you both."

The ripples didn't want to block the child's self-awareness, they just said with satisfaction.

"Mother, at least say a few words of advice!"

Yun Shan rubbed her cheek, saying with some helplessness, also easing the tense atmosphere.

"Mother, this is a chance for us to put our skills into practice. Don't be so childish."

Hong Ye immediately said.

No sooner had his words fallen than a wounded guard retreated into the chamber where Lianyi resided.

"Your Majesty, please follow me and leave. Someone has secretly infiltrated the Phoenix Palace."

A guard ran forward, knelt on one knee and addressed Ripple.

Only then did Lian Yi slowly get out of bed, smoothing her sleeves before asking:

What benefits did Hongwu (the Third Prince's name) promise you to make you come and kidnap me

The kneeling guard looked up in surprise, and the next instant he drew his sword and charged forward. Now that he was exposed, there was no need to hide any longer.

Yun Shan's soft whip had already wrapped around the guard's ankle, while Hong Ye's soft sword directly met the insider's thrust.

In the blink of an eye, the three had already exchanged three blows. With two against one, they managed to temporarily hold their ground.

Although the two were skilled in martial arts, they were only twelve years old and lacked strength. Moreover, they were used to a pampered life and, after several rounds of fighting with these battle-hardened guards, they began to pant.

The ripples just stand in a place that doesn't affect the battle, occasionally reminding the two people to replenish their moves, acting as outside support.

Just as the two were about to be overwhelmed, a leading guard charged in, slaying their opponent. He then bowed to Lianyi and said:

"My Lady, it was my fault as a guard that I did not act properly, allowing the villains to take advantage of the situation."

It's not your fault, they came in through the palace secret passages.

R ripples waved his hand directly.

"My Lady, should we now leave the Phoenix Nest Palace and meet with His Majesty"

"No need, just keep guard at Fengchi Palace. They came for this palace, the second princess, and the third prince. If they capture us three, they'll have leverage over Hongji."

"Your Majesty is insightful, piercing the key point with one word. I just don't know if your son will choose to hold onto his throne or come to save you."

Prince Hongwu, surrounded by a group of black-clad men, entered Lianri's bedroom.

Hong Wu gazed at the ripples that had hardly changed at all, and a wave of jealousy surged within him. Time was very fond of this woman, bestowing upon her a sharp mind and a beautiful face, allowing her to remain unyielding in the imperial harem.

You are here.

Ripples' expression was very calm, as if it were only greeting an old friend.

"My arrival is not unexpected by Your Majesty, is it"

Hongwu asked coldly.

"I told you, a life saved is a debt to be repaid."

The Third Prince's eyes flashed, and he immediately said:

"Get to work!"

The Blackguard clashed with the guards opposite him, a ripple only separating them from the prince.

Yunsan and Hongye had both retreated to Lianyi's side, but they both stubbornly stood in front of their mother, glaring menacingly at the legendary Third Uncle.

Both sides' conflict has escalated to a fever pitch, with people constantly being injured and falling, while others continuously swarm into the bedroom, pushing Lianri and Yunsan, along with Hongye, to a corner.

Lanza and Granny Sun held daggers in their hands, ready to die with the enemy.

Liàn Yī wrinkled her brow and asked Duǒ Dǒu:

"Is there a problem with Hon Ki What's holding them back Why has it taken so long"

“Someone stopped Hongji's steps, allowing him to complete the coronation ceremony first and then come to rescue you. Hongji was held back by the officials and couldn't break free, so he could only arrange for the Dark Dragon Guards to come to your aid, but the Dark Dragon Guards were also intercepted by unknown individuals.”

Duo Duo immediately reported the latest news.

"Humph! The timing is quite good, isn't it"

Ripple let out a cold snort and said to the several people blocking her way:

"Yunshan, Hongye, both of you, retreat!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Lian'er shed the complex outer robes, revealing a crimson short-jacket beneath. A green soft whip was held tightly in her hand.

With a crack, ripples' wrist flipped, and a whip lashed out, taking down three men in black. As they were hit, Duo also used her thorns to knock them unconscious. Her strategy was to injure but not kill; she was a principled plant pet, destined for ascension in the future.

Ripples, with ghostly strides, entered the battlefield. Every strike brought injury to someone, and in a short while, a sea of fallen lay on the ground. Even Hongwu was bound to a pillar within the hall by Ripples, unable to move.

"You are skilled in martial arts!"

"You forgot, I am the general's daughter."

"I originally thought you were just all talk and no action, I misjudged you!"

The victor is king, the vanquished is vanquished. The Third Prince knew he had lost this round again, but he was unwilling to accept it. Why did he always miss out on the throne

"Everyone has their trump card, and this palace is no exception."

The ripples gently floated to the dumbfounded side of the Imperial Forest Guard Commander:

"Clear up the mess as soon as possible."

Yes, my lady.

In the next instant, Yun Shan and Hong Ye surrounded Lian Yi. This was also their first time seeing their mother take action, which almost made their jaws drop.

"Mother, you're hiding something! How come you walk so gracefully but don't teach me"

Yunsan pouted.

"This step requires you to walk on the plum blossom pile. You'll only stop practicing after falling several times yourself. How can you say that your mother is hiding something"

With a smile, Lian Yi playfully nudged Yun Shan's nose.

"Alright, Mother. I'll practice again."

Yun Shan thought about it, she was indeed being stubborn and didn't persevere. She immediately obediently agreed.

Hongye was just calm, if you ignored his shining eyes.

Until an incense stick later, Hongji led his men into Fengqigong. Seeing the corpses all over the floor, his heart turned cold. His mother and younger sisters were all in Fengqigong.

When everyone rushed into Fenqichi Palace, they saw Lianri sitting on the high seat, with Yunsan and Hongye by her side, unharmed.

"Mother, are you well"

Hong Ji rushed forward and asked.

"May my son prosper and live a life of abundance, so that his mother will have nothing to worry about."

Ripple smiled sweetly.

"The son is late."

Hong Ji said with shame, looking at the Dark Dragon Guard who arrived just one step before him, his brows furrowed tightly.

Before he could even speak, Lian Ri waved her hand and drew out a whip, striking one of the advisors who had come with Hong Ji, the chancellor Feng, sending him flying into the pillar where the third prince was bound.

The prime minister was completely unprepared and when he ran into the pillar, there was a cracking sound of bones breaking. He spat out a mouthful of blood and instantly wilted.artment for information. I won't arrange assistance for you.This is the third case of dismemberment, Bai Yuning and Li Qiang are going through it again. I don't believe there are no clues, everything...
