I insist

Chapter 256: Assassination

"Not expensive! The seller I found will definitely choose something inexpensive!" After reassuring Tian Yumei, Song Miqiu went to find Qingzhi and told him her needs.

The next day, a maid and an aunt came to the house.

Tian Yumei immediately took them to the kitchen to instruct them. After all, she was pregnant and wanted to avoid the smell of cooking fumes, so she stood at a distance and gave instructions.

When the Wing King woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar environment. He staggered to his feet, looking around warily, his heart filled with fear.

He still remembered the appearance of the person who had tied him up, and he also remembered that the other party was skilled in martial arts and that no matter how he tried to deal with him, he could not defeat him.

This is something that the Wing King cannot accept.

Soon, Wing King realized that the spot he was standing in was an empty space left by the other party. The surrounding area looked extremely dusty, obviously no one had ever been imprisoned there before, and he must have been the first one to be locked up.

The fear in his heart quickly overwhelmed the Wing King. He strode to the door, raised his leg, and kicked the doorway hard.

The gate shook a few times, but did not collapse.

The Wing King refused to believe it. He turned his head and took a few steps back, finding the maximum distance. He twisted his neck and loosened his muscles, then ran towards the gate, kicking it hard at the same time.

But the situation was the same as before, except that the Wing King was knocked to the ground by the shock.

His arm was slammed hard onto the ground. The Wing King cried out in pain, clutching his arm and staring coldly at the door. He clenched his fist in anger and pounded the floor.

The Wing King was in a bad mood. He coldly looked around at his surroundings, really preparing to think of a way to escape from here, when he heard a series of steady footsteps.

For some reason, he felt the footsteps were familiar. He tilted his head, his face full of regret.

Although it felt very familiar, I just couldn't remember it at all.

The door opened, and the Wing King turned his head to see a strange man striding in.

He was panting, glancing at the open door out of the corner of his eye. The Wing King's gaze fell on Yu Huailin for a moment, and the next second he charged towards the door.

But Yu Huailin had already discovered the Wing King's intention. He immediately grabbed the Wing King's shoulder, pulled him back forcefully, and threw him to the ground.

Yu Huailin had been working alongside Yi Wang for some time now, and he could easily guess what Yi Wang was thinking.

He strode up to the Wing King, slowly squatted down, and Yu Huailin reached out and pinched the Wing King's chin, his voice very deep, "If you want to live, you'd better stay put!"

He frowned deeply, clearly annoyed by the commotion caused by the Wing King earlier.

Yu Huailin never expected that the Wing King would cause such a commotion. If it had been this bad long ago, he should have had Qing Zhi tie the person up first when Qing Zhi brought him back.

Otherwise, before they even reached the place where the Wing King was imprisoned, they would hear a series of loud banging sounds.

The Wing King, panting, did not respond to Yu Huailin's words. He stared straight into the other's eyes. Although the other's appearance was very unfamiliar, his eyes were somewhat familiar.

"who are you?"

Yu Huailin wasn't stupid; he naturally pretended not to hear the King of the Wing's question.

He stood up, turned around, and strode away. Before leaving, Yu Huailin turned back, stared at Yi Wang's face, and said in a deep voice, "You'd better remember what I just said. If you want to live, you'd better behave yourself, or someone will come and deal with you at any time!"

The tone was threatening, which made the Wing King feel that the other party would definitely dare to do such a thing.

After all, the other person was extremely skilled and managed to take him away silently and escape unscathed, which was what Wing King admired most.

At the same time, he also understood that there was some element of the other party's poor performance.

"My child... my child is missing, he's gone..." The empress appeared in the palace with her hair disheveled, and the surrounding maids and eunuchs all walked around her when they saw her.

They discovered that the Queen had been in this state ever since the last news of the Wing King's disappearance, and she was truly miserable. Although the Queen looked very pitiful, they dared not approach her for fear of being accidentally hurt.

After all, the Empress is now seen as a madwoman in their eyes.

How could a madman treat them well? He might even hurt them.

The palace maid was about to say something when she noticed the Empress staring at her. Frightened, she screamed and quickly led her people away as the Empress slowly approached her.

The eunuchs who were passing by were frightened when they heard this sound.

The Empress didn't know how long she had been walking. She murmured to herself, looking around aimlessly, when suddenly a firm idea came to her mind.

Her eyes cleared slightly, and she strode towards a certain place.

Ignoring the palace maids' attempts to stop her at the entrance of Cining Palace, the Empress strode straight in.

As soon as she entered the palace, she saw Granny Hua and the Empress Dowager looking at her with furrowed brows.

The Empress's gaze fell on the Empress Dowager. She stared intently at the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager felt a strange chill.

"Empress?" The Empress Dowager felt extremely uncomfortable just looking at the Empress. She shrugged and asked impatiently, "What brings you to my Cining Palace?"

"You've been making a scene in my Cining Palace all this time because of the Emperor. Now that Prince Yi is gone, Empress, you wouldn't blame me for all of this, would you?" Seeing that the Empress hadn't moved for a while, the Empress Dowager relaxed a lot.

As if the Wing King had touched the Queen's emotions, she murmured a few words, pulled a dagger from her sleeve, a fierce glint in her eyes, and strode towards a certain place.

She immediately picked up her teacup, and as she took a sip and put it down, she saw the Empress's eyes widen, her mouth curving into a smile as she lunged toward her.

She was so frightened that her face turned pale. The old nanny Hua rushed out to stop her. She grabbed the Empress's arm and, seeing that the Empress was struggling violently, she held her tightly.

But Granny Hua never expected that the Empress's strength would become so great!

She had only been holding the other woman's arm for a short while when she could feel that the Empress's strength had increased significantly, and Granny Hua was directly thrown off by the Empress.

She was thrown aside, and upon hearing the Empress Dowager scream, Granny Hua quickly looked over and saw that the Empress Dowager had a cut on her face.

Just as the Empress was about to make her next move, something was suddenly thrown forcefully at her wrist, causing the person to release their grip on the dagger. At the same time, the Empress's shoulder was also forcefully squeezed, and she was thrown backward, thus saving the Empress Dowager.
