Chapter 100: Dim and Indistinct

The palace maid clearly knew she would not be given a second chance, so she pulled the hairpin from her hair and drove it straight into her own neck.

Fresh blood spurted forth.

The palace maid collapsed to the ground.

From the moment the palace maid struck out to the empress being stabbed, and right up to the maid's suicide, the sequence of events unfolded so rapidly that Su Tang was caught completely off guard.

Even the Imperial Guards failed to capture anyone alive.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"A physician, fetch a physician!"

The Emperor trembled as he supported the person collapsing into his arms.

Xie Yu kicked Lin Yue out with one foot. Just as she regained her composure, Mu Huihe let out a piercing scream and ran toward Lin Yue.

You Wusi directly interrupted the Lord of Extreme Slenderness, having no doubt that "lack of focus" would be immediately followed by "solitary confinement."

Chen Xi only caught sight of the word "Beijing," and thinking of the message lying in her inbox, she suddenly found an excuse.

His raising of horses was naturally not for the yamen; drawing a clear line between public and private, he intended to build a stud farm under the name of the Yang family.

Liang Fang and the two Wang family guards felt a sudden tremor in their hearts and instinctively turned their heads toward the entrance.

That wailing sound was indistinct; it did not ring in their ears, but rather appeared as a voice directly inside the human mind, laced with profound despair.

The world he inhabited had originally revolved entirely around Shen Ling'er. As long as it concerned Shen Ling'er, and whenever she was displeased, let alone the Shen family, even their lives could be snuffed out as easily as stepping on an ant.

"Dad, I don't think the Lu family has any sincere intention of forming a marriage alliance with us; we might as well call off the engagement," Shen Yancheng suddenly dropped a bombshell, and everyone looked at him in astonishment.

Chen Xi even developed the illusion of being one of "society's elite," though she immediately snapped herself out of the notion the moment it arose.

After hanging up the phone, Han Ge leaned back in his chair and remained silent for a moment. This was probably one of the reasons why he did not want to invest alongside other companies.

Because he carried Chen Hao's destiny, Chen Hao's constitution leaned toward the fire attribute, making his comprehension of fire attribute laws much easier. To be precise, anyone born and raised in the fire element region would naturally feel a deeper affinity for the fire element.

Regardless of how Wanyan Zongwang attacked the city, the heaven-shaking battle cries were followed by a rain of arrows that soared into the sky and rained down upon the ramparts.

"Brother Chen, Master, I have prepared some simple wine and food in the mountains; please come and share a cup," Shangguan Xiaoshuang said.

Bian Bi'an was not afraid, and with Meng Wuxian, a full member of the top-tier special agent organization of the Five-Star Country—Heaven Team—there was even less need for worry.

Yet all of this was witnessed entirely by the young man who had entered the meeting room alongside Yu Qiqi.

However, the ten intensely rich murderous auras emanating from behind made Si Qi feel that the matter could not end easily.

An elderly man dressed in black walked silently to the side of Yang Weize and asked in a low voice.

As the system prompted him that he had gained charm points, Wang Zha was slightly stunned. Could someone have actually fallen in love with him?

"He didn't kill him," the head replied. The head was named Sen, a middle-aged man with long blonde hair and a resolute gaze; one could tell at a glance that he was a steadfast and unyielding warrior.

With a single move, he slew a level-seventy mutant virus rat, his movements clean, crisp, and flowing like moving clouds and flowing water. Without realizing it, Si Qi closed his eyes while fighting, yet without activating full-perception prediction.

Thor saw that the previously bustling town had suddenly fallen dead silent. Those walking on the street, cooking in their homes, or working in the shops had all collapsed to the ground.

Di Lin grew even more perplexed. Since it was neither his royal father nor his master, who had healed his injuries last night? Could it be that old hag?

In the past, she had only ever taken without ever being able to stand by Ye Huaijin's side when he was in danger, which filled her with a deep sense of self-reproach.

Wang Lin was cornered by Ling Yaoyao's words, her eyes widening instantly as if her tail had been stepped on.

Di Lin frowned slightly, never having imagined that the one who saved her was actually this demonic figure Mu Xi. She thought to herself, could it be that I, the Crown Prince, wronged her, and that she is not the mastermind behind the chaos in Pindu and the imperial palace after all?
