Chapter 84 The Empress Destroyed Your Country (10)

System 168 went silent.

Yes, how did Shi Minzhi complete the task? But… it was a reforming system, it was impossible for it to not follow the path of reformation…

The immense pain made Nie Suzhi very uncomfortable and he couldn’t even speak. But he could still hear what Bai Tang was saying.

“Your Majesty is a heartless ruler who kills at will. How does it feel to die in the hands of the woman you hate the most? Your Majesty will not die, but tonight, your seventh empress, Bai Tang, will be forever beyond your grasp.”

Bai Tang tucked her sleeve and calculated the time it would take for Nie Suzhi to resurrect. She then took the opportunity to take another red-tasseled spear from him. She had used a sword in the previous world, so she decided to switch it up in this one.

The broken half of the red-tasseled spear fell from Nie Suzhi’s chest as Bai Tang broke down the door and used the spear as a support to gracefully fly away like a swan.

Standing on the rooftop, Bai Tang laughed loudly at the bewildered guards and said, “Hey! If you don’t go in and check on your dog Emperor, he’s going to die in a pool of blood.”

Bai Tang naturally knew that Nie Suzhi wouldn’t die, but the others didn’t know. She intentionally waited for him to resurrect before breaking down the door, so that when the guards entered, they would see him just having resurrected. These guards wouldn’t be silenced if they didn’t uncover his secrets.

De Fu reacted quickly and immediately made a decision, “You, go with your men to launch a pursuit. You, go call the imperial physician to save His Majesty, and the rest come with me.”

Nie Suzhi covered his chest, gritting his teeth in pain, eyes bloodshot.

Bai Tang’s words before he died were a blatant provocation. The guards rushed in, and De Fu hurriedly helped Nie Suzhi up, trembling and emotional, “Does it hurt, Your Majesty?!”

Nie Suzhi took a breath and eased the pain in his chest. He spat out blood and grabbed De Fu’s collar, asking through gritted teeth, “Where did my good Empress go?”

De Fu shrank back and quickly said, “Your Majesty, looking at the direction, she should have gone to the Department of Punishment.”

“Bring me a bow and arrow! Follow me to Black Tortoise Gate!”

Bai Tang was very fast and could leave the palace unscathed, but where was the Department of Punishment? It was a place where slave women did hard labor, so Nie Suzhi thought that Bai Tang might want to take someone out of the palace from there. 

To leave the palace from the Department of Punishment, they had to pass through Black Tortoise Gate.

He waited here for his seventh empress to arrive.

Couldn’t catch her?

Why couldn’t they catch her? Naturally because she’d be dead!

Wen Yueqing had bundled Bai Tang’s long silk into her bag and was hiding in a corner, feeling extremely nervous. 

Especially when she heard familiar chaotic voices outside.

“Hurry! Don’t let her escape!”

“His Majesty has ordered that whoever captures the Empress shall execute her without mercy! Capture the Empress and kill her, show no mercy!”

Wen Yueqing didn’t know what Miss Bai did to make the Emperor order her execution without mercy. In the past, the empresses were tortured to death by the Emperor.

Her thoughts were in chaos when suddenly a hand wrapped around her waist. Wen Yueqing was almost frightened to death.

“It’s me, Bai Tang. Miss Wen, hold onto me tight. We are about to start a thrilling escape.” Bai Tang said with a smile in her eyes.

With one hand embracing Wen Yueqing’s soft and slender waist, and the other holding a sharp red-tasseled spear, Bai Tang jumped and ran along the roofs of the palace, looking extremely arrogant.

Hearing the familiar voice, Wen Yueqing breathed a sigh of relief and instinctively held onto Bai Tang’s slender waist as her feet left the ground.

“Miss Bai, the long silk you wanted is in the bag.”

“Alright! Miss Wen, we’re going to face a tough battle next. Hold on tight!”

“Okay.”

Under the moonlight, Wen Yueqing saw Bai Tang’s confident and determined smile, which was more admirable than any man she had ever met. A thought sprouted and grew in her heart that one day she too, Wen Yueqing, would become such a person.
