Empress Fu Yao [Volume 1] (COMPLETED)✔

A Threat of Killing Intent

And, her mesmerizingly dancing, slender jade fingers, could also lightly stretch out and be able to contact the Crown Prince's throat! ————-

You hour, the second half-hour was half-passed! (5:45 pm or 17:45)

The outside of the Letter Hall was currently chaotic like a pot of congee. Three thousand guards squeezed together while desperately pouring water towards the Letter Hall, as well as desperately trying to fight the fire.

Fang Minghe's large army met with obstacles outside the city. Originally the gates should have already been opened, but from who-knows-where popped out a group of people. The leading man with clothing white like snow and lips like cherry declared that Fang Minghe had forged the imperial decree and had preposterous orders, so the palace gates could not be opened. The opposite side didn't make any contact with the large army, yet consecutively killed several of Fang Minghe's plants that were ordered to open the gates, making the fifty thousand strong army have to temporarily be stuck outside the city gates.

Second hour half-passed.

Qi Xunyi leaned over, attentively discussing how to read the Xuanji Diagram with the Crown Prince. His body covered over the Crown Prince, while his gaze swept towards the dancing girl!

The two hands of the dancing girl, suddenly raised up!

"Report!"

The sound of a high shout broke through that moment of intentional murder of an unwitting victim!

"The Letter Hall is on fire!"

The Crown Prince suddenly lifted his head, while the dancing girl's two hands shrunk back.

Only with this raising of heads did the crowd of people realize, looking from the high elevated Heavenly Peace Hall that overlooked the entire imperial city, the inside of the palace city suddenly bloomed out a myriad of scarlet fire dots, soaring and madly dancing. Gradually they connected into a stretch of fire red and even continued to expand. While at the furthest Letter Hall, even more of the entire imperial city was surrounded by that leaping fire light, as if a huge body of rosy clouds that illuminated the whole sky of the northwestern corner!

The fire's glow shone on the surroundings, and the many people outside the Letter Hall could be vaguely seen, like black ants crowding forward in clumps. As the many princes watched, their face colors had already changed.

The Letter Hall was cold and secluded. With a fire rising in the middle of the night, how could the palace guards be able to rush there to put out the fire so fast? Unless – they were already there!

Gathering troops in the middle of the night, what did this imply? The various princes were born into royalty, from birth learning the designs of an Emperor, and playing using the means of political maneuvering. They immediately thought of a horrifying possibility.

The crowd's eyes all uniformly fell on the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince's eyes were deep and chilly, his face calm. Only some people attentively noticed, on the fingers that were clenched on the Xuanji Diagram, his knuckles had gone white.

By his side, Qi Xunyi's face was ghastly pale, his gaze flashing. However without waiting for him to speak, the Crown Prince suddenly put down the Xuanji Diagram, and swung his robe sleeve.

The dancing girl swaying in mid-air was instantly fiercely flung out, falling onto the ground. She slid many chi out, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"The palace is on fire, and this woman is still annoyingly loitering here!" The Crown Prince dusted his sleeves and rose up, striding out with large steps. "Subordinates come, accompany this Highness to take a look!"
