C1097 An unprepared sneak attack

Yiyuan Pavilion!

"Was it His Majesty's idea to arrange these eight palace maids, or was it that woman from the Western Palace who suggested it?" Pointing his finger at the four uneasy palace maids in the pavilion, Yu Haoran asked with a gloomy expression.

"It was the Western Palace Concubine's idea, but with my approval." He raised his head to look at the four nervous palace maids, before replying honestly.

"Your Majesty, could it be that when you agreed to the Concubine's idea, you didn't consider Ling Fei's feelings carefully?" Yu Haoran's tone slowly turned serious as he asked.

Qin Lingfei, who was feeling a trace of sweetness in her heart, clenched his right hand even more tightly.

"Prince Consort Ma, I am only considering how much inconvenience it would be for you to stay in Double Oxes Mountain by yourself. I will arrange for a few palace maids to take care of your daily life, so that you can have more time to cultivate and meditate to increase your alchemy cultivation."

Sensing the dissatisfaction in Yu Haoran's questioning tone, the Qin Emperor frowned as he explained the true reason behind his actions.

"Your Majesty, your thoughts are really that simple?" Yu Haoran asked in disbelief.

"Prince Consort, don't tell me this Emperor still needs to deceive you!" Qin Di asked back in a displeased manner.

"Then may I trouble Your Majesty to take a closer look at these four palace maids."

Qin Di's unhappy reaction made Yu Haoran suddenly realize that he seemed to have misunderstood him.

Perhaps when he had followed the advice of that woman from the Western Palace, he had simply considered the inconvenience of living alone and had not considered the deeper reasons.

Perhaps all of this had been arranged by that woman from the Western Palace.

After hearing Yu Haoran's reminder, the Qin Emperor carefully observed the four palace maids who were fidgeting, a look of anger slowly emerging in his eyes.

Her eyebrows were moving like moths, her face was like peaches, and her cheeks were like peaches. Her skin was like ice, and her bones were like jade!

Seeing the four enchanting palace maids standing in the pavilion filled with boundless temptation, the Qin Emperor knew that he was deceived by the woman he trusted.

The eight palace maids that she had arranged to take care of Yu Haoran were the real deal, but she was also trying to warm his bed because she feared that was her real intention.

After all, Yu Haoran was a righteous person!

If he did have that kind of relationship with one of them, or with some of his ladies, he would see them as his women.

Then, it would be as easy as flipping his hand if the Consort who won Yu Haoran's support wanted to sit on the Eastern Palace's throne.

Because, in the entire world, who didn't know how much importance he had placed on Yu Haoran, and everyone knew that he was able to influence some of his own thoughts and suggestions.

"Prince Consort, we have immediately ordered for them to leave Yiyuan Pavilion and to return to the Western Palace to meet their Consort." Qin Di withdrew his gaze from the palace maids and spoke with a serious expression.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!"

At the same time, Yu Haoran was very satisfied with the Emperor Qin's change in expression and the arrangements he made. At the same time, he chose to forgive him from the bottom of his heart.

"Haoran, tell me the truth, can you really do it!"

Seeing that Yu Haoran's expression had gradually eased up, the Qin Emperor secretly let out a breath of relief. After that, he slightly tensed up, wanting to ask for confirmation whether or not he was really like Tao Qingshui who promised the Tao Clan that he could refine a third stage first stage Sovereign Transforming Pill.

But before he could finish speaking, the four palace maids standing by the side of the pavilion suddenly took out four daggers that glimmered with a cold light and emitted a fishy stench, then directly attacked Yu Haoran's vitals.

"Hao Ran, be careful!"

As Qin Lingfei was sitting right beside him, she immediately discovered the sneak attack from the four palace maids.

Although she really wanted to help him block the sneak attack, a sneak attack that was too short a distance away made all she could do was give him a reminder and watch as four daggers were stabbed into all four of Yu Haoran's vital points.

"You deserve to die!"1

Seeing the four daggers that were stabbed into Yu Haoran's vitals, an extremely dark and cold flame quickly rose from her body.

Looking at the four palace maids who were retreating with the intent to escape, Qin Lingfei growled with a face as cold as frost, and then transformed into a stream of flames as she charged forward.

"Damn it!" Qin Di also let out a furious roar and instantly appeared in front of the four palace maids. He used his terrifying aura to firmly suppress the four palace maids who wanted to jump away.

Qin Lingfei was his beloved woman and the Qin Emperor was her trusted senior. Yu Haoran had never thought that he would encounter a sneak attack at such a close distance, which resulted in him not being prepared for anything in advance.

Faced with the sneak attack of four first stage Martial Saint Warriors, he was unable to dodge nor was he able to activate the bell in his sea of consciousness. He was also unable to activate the defensive strength of the Ancestral Voodoo Body in time and could only watch as the four daggers pierced into his vital parts.

Just as the four daggers stabbed into his vital parts, taking the opportunity while Qin Lingfei and the Qin Emperor were chasing after the four palace maids, Yu Haoran immediately checked the origins of the poison on the daggers.

Mandala!

The poison that was ranked ninety-seventh on the Profound Sky Continent's Hundred Poisons List had the power to seal one's throat with blood.

Fortunately, with his high poison experience, he was able to channel his soul power and elemental energy at the first moment and suppress the expansion of the Mandala poison. He immediately took out an antidote pill from his storage ring and temporarily weakened the power of the Mandala poison.

At the same time, the second clone in his Sea of Consciousness immediately used the sealing technique to seal off the poison in Mandala's vital spots.

Soon after, he placed the nine medicinal herbs with different poisons on the stone table.

His ten fingers quickly formed seals. Using the nullification, in less than two minutes, he had successfully refined nine pills that could cure the Mandala's poison.

After consuming an antidote pill to remove the Mandala's poison, Yu Haoran immediately consumed a top-tier healing pill to treat his vital injuries.

It was a good thing that the four palace maids believed too much in the power of the Mandala's poison, ambushing in all four directions was not fatal.

Under the treatment of the top-notch healing, Yu Haoran quickly recovered to his original state.

Looking at the four palace maids that were captured by the Qin Emperor, and at the same time, at his order, the eight ninth stage Martial Saint's imperial guards rushed into the pavilion and captured the four palace maids.

"Speak, who sent you here?" The Qin Emperor looked at the eight palace maids with a gloomy expression. His cultivation was at the peak of the first stage of Martial Saint.

She looked coldly at the Qin Emperor. The face of the palace maid with the strongest cultivation suddenly turned black. After that, she collapsed to the ground and died without any signs of life.

Soon after, seven other palace maids were poisoned and died at about the same time.

"Damn it!"

After a careful examination, the Qin Emperor discovered that the poison that they had used to kill themselves was the same as the poison that had ambushed Yu Haoran.

Mandala's poison not only took away their lives in an instant, but it also wiped out their consciousness, causing them to lose any hope of using the soul-searching technique to search for the culprit behind the scenes.

Yu Haoran reached out to wipe the tears that were hanging from the corners of his eyes, indicating that he was alright, and raised his head to look at Qin Di and asked.

"Your Majesty, where is the Western Concubine?"

"The Western Palace's Consort Lu is from the Lu Clan of Fengcheng!"

The Qin Emperor, who had returned to his stone chair, waved his hand at the eight imperial guards, signaling them to leave and replied with a dark expression.
