Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter IV Chapter 114

Zhou Yun continued to follow Qin Ao Shuang without knowing that Qin Ao Shuang had increased the dosage of the pill he gave her.

By the time Zhou Yun realized there was something strange in him, he was too late to take precautions, as a result of which he was trapped in the same hole as the other puppets. Although not completely under Qin Ao Shuang's control, he still managed to control himself by force. Zhou Yun often infiltrated Qin Ao Shuang's room to look for clues about the woman's plans.

Zhou Yun was rash and took the wolf woman lightly.

When Qin Ao Shuang's plan was mature and night came. When You Nian was sound asleep, the quiet and quiet peaceful night in his palace suddenly turned bright red. For no apparent reason, several buildings were burned with huge flames. The other palace attendants and ladies panicked their rides here and there. Not only in his palace, even panic also occurred in the neighborhood of the residents.

"Your Majesty, the beasts suddenly attacked the settlement of the citizens. They entered through the south gate. The beasts went on a rampage and ravaged the houses and public facilities." Report a soldier on his knees.

"What about the fort? What happened to his guard?"

"Sorry Your Majesty. When we got there, we didn't find any guards on top of the fort."

You Nian furrowed his brows. He immediately put on his great clothes and went out of his room to look for his men. But not long ago as he walked, the energy in his body slowly weakened, they disappeared like water evaporating into the air.

"What's going on?"

"Am I poisoned?"

You Nian wondered to himself as he recalled what he had just done before going to bed.

Is it possible that.no, it's not possible. He couldn't have done that.

You Nian had a bitter conjecture about the cause of his current condition. The only thing he did was accompany his sister to tea while playing the lute. A sad fact indeed, but You Nian hesitated and brushed off the suspicion. He still stepped in search of his people even though his condition was weakening.

You Nian had long searched in panic in his palace, but he had yet to find any ministers, generals or other higher-ups. He even saw his hall empty and Zhou Yun also did not appear by his side. It was very unusual for his student to not come during such a precarious situation.

Where's everybody?

Since then he only saw the ladies and ordinary soldiers who were busy pacing extinguishing the fire. As he wanted to leave the hall, the voice of a woman calling out to him made him turn around and look at his disciple and best friend.

How calm he was with the presence of the two people, finally they were able to divide the task and solve the problem outside and inside the palace.

You Nian approached the two.

"Thank God you're here."

"What happened to NianNian?" Call Qin Ao Shuang familiar.

You Nian shook his head. "I received information that a wild animal was rampaging outside the palace and attacking the houses of the people. While the palace suddenly had a fire."

"How is it possible!? It's..." Qin Ao Shuang narrowed her eyes as she looked at You Nian. You Nian nodded, he understood the intent of Qin Ao Shuang's gaze.

"The loss of the guards at the south gate is a very suspicious thing. I also feel like this was planned. Therefore, I want you to help me to secure the citizens and overcome those beasts."

Zhou Yun and Qin Shuang nodded. "Find us well." Reply Qin Ao Shuang. Then they left.

You Nian who noticed the look on Zhou Yun's face from earlier was curious about the strange gait. He really wasn't usually to silently sculpt without a word.

"I also don't see where Xiao Mei is." You Nian sighed with worry. He then walked into his palace and went upstairs to the room on the highest floor to see the situation inside his palace and outside.

With his Qi constantly thinning, as much as possible he was holding himself back from using his inner power excessively. Just in case the mastermind behind the incident appeared and attacked him, he could at least protect himself for a few minutes until reinforcements arrived.

You Nian climbed the stairs one by one. Finally he arrived at the top. You Nian looked at his palace surroundings that were blazing with fire. Some buildings are almost burned down, as well as residents who run because of the rampage of wild animals.

He thought that the person who masterminded this situation really had no conscience.

The cold sweat that had been flowing from his head was so unpleasant. The poison slowly eroded his body. You Nian grumbled in annoyance. Because his enemy had long died and his life was a little quiet, he was caught off guard until he could be poisoned.

You Nian turned around as he sensed the presence of some people behind him. It turned out that they were the five martial expert elders of each sect. You Nian glanced at them one by one. The gripping face, aura and killing intent made him immediately stand by to fight.

Without any warning, the two elders attacked directly with deadly techniques. You Nian shrewdly dodged and immediately protected his body with a dense Qi. Sure enough, the elder next attacked with sharp sword intent. You Nian was pushed back. A great explosion from the top of the tower could be seen from a distance.

You Nian was cornered.

To face those martial experts in such a narrow room and with his current condition, his chances of winning were slim.

"What's wrong with you guys? Did you after so many years of cooperation and now you choose to take up arms? Have I ever acted as a tyrant who restricted your freedom?" Ask You Nian.

As long as he sat on his throne as an emperor. Freedom, welfare and justice between each sect both in material and disciple recruitment, You Nian always looked at all sides that divided it fairly.

The elders did not answer.

You Nian didn't know. They were now in the influence of the pill belonging to Qin Ao Shuang and the only order that was ringing in their ears right now was to cripple the Female Emperor, Lan You Nian. After drinking dozens of tea cups from Qin Ao Shuang, those elders were already fully puppets of his.

Fierce fighting is inevitable. You Nian could only tighten his jaw and fight against those martial experts.

After quite a long time of fighting by throwing each other deadly techniques and moves. You Nian fell down on his knees, breathing heavily yet somehow he was able to defeat those elders.

You Nian raised his head towards the door as the sound of footsteps rang rapidly approaching.

"Dam. Is there any more?"

He really could no longer fight. However when he saw the figure of the girl who appeared, You Nian was relieved.

"Sister! What the hell's going on? Why is my sister hurt like this?"

"Xiao Mei, thank goodness you came."

Xiao Mei ran over to You Nian. He checked the condition of You Nian's body.

"Sister..is sister okay?" Xiao Mei looked sadly at You Nian then she turned her head and looked at the elders lying on the floor. "Based on useless parents. You.!!"

You Nian smiled faintly. Once again he was relieved to see his sister. Thank goodness he's okay that's how he thinks.

Naively. Although Xiao Mei's facial expression changed, You Nian did not notice her blank eyes.

"Teacher.. ." Right now Zhou Yun was still kneeling while calling his teacher slowly.

Alice remained silent. From Zhou Yun's story just now. It was explained that the disciple and Qin Ao Shuang were somewhere watching him fight.

" Guru..."

Alice ignored Zhou Yun's call. Instead, he sank into his mind. Alice held onto her stomach, grabbed him slowly and recalled what happened next as Xiao Mei hugged herself tightly at the time.

Fresh, red blood flowed from his stomach. He spewed blood from his mouth and did not expect that.

"Xiao Mei..why?!"

After Xiao Mei stabbed him with a poisonous dagger. You Nian lost all his strength and fell unconscious.
