Chapter 9: Night Visit to the Imperial Chambers
Night, moonlight like water.
A black figure emerged from the Cloud Pavilion like a flying bird, disappearing in the blink of an eye outside the walls. Wearing night-traveling clothes and a black veil covering his face, Yun Mo sprinted through houses and over ridges, heading straight for the Imperial Palace.
As a mercenary, she originally had the skill of flying and walking on walls. Moreover, with the help of the purple energy from the east, Yun Mo's movements were swift and silent as he walked into the heavily guarded imperial palace as if it were an uninhabited territory, quickly finding He Lian Jing Xuan's bedroom.
Evading the guards at the door, Yun Mo hid on the beam above, looking down at He Lian Jing Xiao lying in bed. The dim candlelight cast a yellow glow on his pale face, and with his eyes tightly closed, he seemed to have no vitality at all. This originally handsome prince had long been tormented by illness, reduced to a mere shadow of his former self, half-human and half-ghost.
Just then, the maid walked in with a gentle step, carrying a bowl of freshly brewed medicine. She bowed her head and greeted him: "Your humble servant greets Your Highness! It's time for you to take your medicine, Your Highness."
After a long while, Helian Jingying slowly opened his eyes, his voice hoarse and icy: "Take it away."
"Your Highness, please have some more." The maid, already accustomed to this, persuasively advised, "The imperial physician said that this medicine can calm the mind and soothe the spirit, allowing Your Highness to sleep peacefully..."
"Sleep well?" He Lian Jing Xiao sneered coldly, turning over to face inward. "No need! It won't be long before this king can sleep soundly forever, take him away!"
The maid had no choice but to kneel down and curtsy, then turned around and retreated.
Yun Mo's hesitation was gone, she gently closed her eyes, using her mind to connect the high-tech microchip inside her body with her brain waves. A moment later, she suddenly opened her eyes, and a strange purple color immediately appeared in her pupils!
She slowly lowered her gaze onto He Lianjing's head, as if performing an MRI scan on him. Everything inside his skull suddenly became crystal clear before Yun Mohan's eyes! The crystal chip allowed Yun Mohan's gaze to penetrate the human body, presenting a scene like an X-ray film in front of her.
After carefully scanning Helian Jingxuan, Yun Mochen restored his eyes to their normal state, then smiled faintly and left the bedroom quietly.
According to the scan results, He Lianjing's condition was a very ordinary brain tumor, which only required a craniotomy to remove the tumor, with a success rate of at least 90% or more.
Back at the Cloud Come Pavilion, she slept soundly and woke up early the next day. Yun Mo Ran got out of bed and prepared to enter the palace for an audience. Just then, Yun Su Yao walked in with a tray, her face gloomy: "Little Seventh, hurry up and get dressed, the imperial sedan chair will be here soon!"
It's really can't wait! Yun Mo Ran slightly sneered, and then Yun Bai Yu, who had just entered the door, coldly hummed and said: "Xiao Qi, I'm sure you've thought carefully about what I told you yesterday? Hurry up and change into your wedding dress, let your sister help you..."
Yun Mo dyed a single word unspoken, bypassing the two and walking out. Yun Baijin's face changed, and Yun Su had already shouted loudly: "Xiao Qi! You stop for me! Are you really going to harm everyone to death?"
Yun Mo's footsteps didn't stop, and he quickly left Yunlai Pavilion. Yun Baiyu couldn't bear it anymore, and with a swift movement of his body, he chased after him: "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless! Today, even if I have to tie you up, I must tie you to the wedding sedan chair!"
I had expected this outcome, Yun Mo Yan raised the corner of his lips, and a cold light flashed in his eyes as he dodged Yun Bai Yu's swift and fierce attack! In the blink of an eye, the short sword in his hand had already slashed out!
"Hmm..."
Yun Baiyu let out a muffled hum, and only after he had forcibly stopped in his tracks did he discover that Cloud Ink had already drawn a two-inch-long wound on the back of his hand!
"You..."
Yun Baiyu was extremely shocked! Just now, this move he didn't use his full strength, but he absolutely did not expect Yun Mo to be able to avoid it. He did not expect her counterattack to be so fierce! More importantly, her moves were not the traditional Cloud Family martial arts at all! What kind of strange encounter had Little Seventh had, that she was now completely different from before?
Yun Baiyu was forced back by a single move, and Yun Mo Ran's footsteps didn't stop as he quickly disappeared. Yun Su Yao rushed forward: "Big brother! How are you?"
"It's nothing." Yun Baiyu shook his head, unable to conceal the shock on his face. "Su Yao, where did Xiao Qi get this set of skills from?"
"No one knows." Yun Su-Yao's eyes were gloomy, gritting her teeth, "Only to know that overnight, she became what she is today! If it weren't for the fact that someone had been guarding Yunlai Pavilion since her attempted suicide, we would have suspected that she had been replaced!"
People haven't changed, it's their souls that have.
Yun Baiyu furrowed his brow and then spoke: "Immediately stop Xiao Qi, otherwise it will be too late!"
"Alright, let's hurry!"
Yun Su Yao responded with a sound, and the two immediately sprang into action and chased after them. Of course, they didn't expect that things had already come too late.
