The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

"Master Imperial Master, the Jade Mountain is ahead, but I have never been to Worry-Free Valley, so I really don't know where the entrance is."

When the Imperial Master heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the sunset glow burning like flames in the sky. A faint smile appeared on the corners of his mouth involuntarily: "In this case, let's stop here for a while and rest, and then go into the mountains tomorrow."

"Yes!" the follower responded respectfully.

As night falls, the evening breeze at the foot of Jade Mountain becomes increasingly chilling, ruthlessly whipping people's faces like an ice knife, bringing bursts of cold.

At this time, Boss Xue was sitting quietly in front of the window, staring at the twinkling stars in the night sky in a trance.

Just as he was immersed in the tranquility of the starry sky, suddenly, a strange feeling came over him - he felt as if his back was covered by an invisible cool air, so chilly that it made his hair stand on end.

Almost at the same time, an extremely shrill scream suddenly came from downstairs, breaking the originally silent night sky.

Boss Xue frowned slightly, thinking to himself: What on earth is going on? However, before he could figure it out, a familiar voice suddenly sounded: "Master Imperial Master, how are you?"

Before he finished speaking, the figure of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince slowly emerged from behind the door.

I saw that he was holding a long sword that was shining with cold light tightly in his hand, the tip of the sword was pointing straight at Boss Xue, and his eyes were full of cold murderous intent.

"Master Imperial Master, it's been a long time since we last met." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said through gritted teeth.

The cold sword glowed faintly in the moonlight, pointing straight at Boss Xue's heart.

However, facing such a dangerous situation, Boss Xue was extremely calm and composed. He even smiled and responded calmly: "Haha, I thought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still in Mobei at this moment. I didn't expect that the information I got was wrong."

"Imperial Master, how dare you threaten His Majesty? Now your doomsday has come. Let's see how long you can continue to be so arrogant!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes widened with anger and he shouted harshly.

Ling Yan rushed forward in one step, getting close to the opponent like a ghost. The sword in his hand, which was flashing with cold light, was placed across the neck of the national teacher in the blink of an eye. The cold sword body was pressed against the skin, as if it could cut the artery in the next second.

Ling Yan gnashed his teeth and shouted angrily: "Today is the day you die!"

Faced with the threat of death, the national teacher seemed unusually calm, with even a barely perceptible smile on his face.

He slowly said, "Your Highness, don't be impulsive. Don't you want to meet the Crown Princess? If you kill me now, I'm afraid you will never meet the Crown Princess in this life."

Hearing this, the sword in Ling Yan's hand suddenly paused, and his originally tense body trembled slightly.

When Boss Xue's men saw this, they raised a smug smile and said sarcastically, "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really loves the Crown Princess deeply, and their love is stronger than gold!"

Ling Yan suppressed his anger, turned around and shouted to the guards behind him: "Come here, tie up the Imperial Master for this prince!"

Even though his life was temporarily spared, the resentment in Ling Yan's heart did not diminish in the slightest.

He just kicked up and kicked Boss Xue hard in the abdomen.

There was a dull thud, and Boss Xue flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground.

Ling Yan looked down at Boss Xue who was lying on the ground, his eyes full of disgust and contempt, and warned him fiercely: "National Master, you'd better pray that the Crown Princess is safe and sound. If anything happens to her, don't blame me for being rude to you! When the time comes, I will make sure you can neither live nor die!"

Boss Xue naturally knew that what Ling Yan said was true. However, even though he was kicked hard and felt severe pain in his abdomen, he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

He neither knelt down to beg for mercy nor showed the slightest fear. Instead, he looked calm, and there even seemed to be an elusive weirdness and eeriness hidden in that calmness.

This abnormal behavior made Ling Yan's heart tighten slightly. An ominous premonition surged into his heart like a tide, becoming stronger and stronger...

How abominable! He has clearly fallen into my hands, what tricks can he play? Ling Yan suppressed the discomfort in his heart and went straight to where the emperor was without hesitation.

Originally, he was expecting to rescue his father first, and then escort him back to Kyoto, while he would stay and take care of all the affairs in Wuyou Valley. However, things did not go as he wished...

When Ling Yan hurried downstairs anxiously and saw his father, he was shocked to find that he was unconscious!

This sudden scene shocked Ling Yan so much that he was stunned for a moment. Then he rushed forward like an arrow from a bow, shouting anxiously: "Father, what happened to you?"

Ling Yan roared in rage: "Imperial Physician! Where is the imperial physician? Come here now!" The roar was deafening, as if it would overturn the entire room.

The guard beside him hurriedly responded tremblingly: "Your Highness, calm down. The emperor has been unconscious since he was in the palace."

Hearing this, Ling Yan's heart sank suddenly, and he suddenly realized.

Without saying a word, he turned around and rushed up the stairs like a storm, rushed straight to Boss Xue, raised his fist and hit him hard on the cheek, and shouted angrily: "Tell me! What did you do to my father?"

After receiving a heavy blow, Boss Xue staggered backwards, but surprisingly, he quickly steadied himself and stood up again, as if he was not affected at all.

Seeing this scene, the anger in Ling Yan's heart was instantly ignited to the peak. She raised her foot in anger, kicked him to the ground again, and stepped hard on his hand.

With the crisp sound of bones, he gnashed his teeth and roared, "Master, if you don't speak again, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will kill you immediately!"

After he finished speaking, Ling Yan mercilessly stretched out a hand and gripped his neck tightly like an iron clamp.

The force was so great that Boss Xue suddenly had difficulty breathing and his face turned red.

At this time, Boss Xue quickly said, "Your Highness, please calm down! If you really kill me, then you really can't save the emperor."

Although his tone was calm, there was a barely perceptible cunning in his eyes.

Then, Boss Xue continued to explain slowly, "Besides, if you really kill me now, then the emperor will probably really die. At that time, people will never think that I killed the emperor, but will only point the finger at you - Your Highness the Crown Prince, and believe that you killed the emperor with your own hands!"

Hearing these words, Prince Ling Yan's eyes widened, and blazing anger shot out of his eyes. He shouted angrily: "Shut up!"

Before he finished speaking, he swung his arm, and a sharp dagger appeared in his hand, and he stabbed it straight into Boss Xue's chest without hesitation.

In an instant, a shrill scream resounded throughout the room, making people shudder.

It turned out that Lu Changyan, who had been enduring the severe pain and struggling to hold on, could no longer suppress the fear and pain in his heart after witnessing this bloody scene, and he screamed in agony.

Seeing this usually arrogant and domineering man in front of him now become so miserable, Ling Yan finally felt a little relieved.

However, he knew that the situation was urgent and there was no time for delay. He had to force the key information to save the emperor out of the imperial teacher as soon as possible.

“Master Imperial Master, even if I cannot take your life today, I’m afraid you will suffer physical pains!” Ling Yan’s face was extremely gloomy, like a demon slowly crawling out from the depths of the gloomy and terrifying hell, which was chilling.

Boss Xue had always been a calm and composed man, but at this moment, an imperceptible change finally showed on his face.

"Tell me quickly! What is the emperor's current condition?" Ling Yan's voice was icy cold, like the biting cold wind in winter, blowing straight into people's bones.

"Your Highness...the Emperor is just unconscious. His life is not in danger for now." Despite being in such a tense situation, Boss Xue still replied with forced calmness.

Ling Yan's stern face showed no sign of softening, and he continued coldly, "If that's the case, then you should find a way to wake him up immediately!"

Boss Xue endured the waves of severe pain coming from his body. The painful feeling caused his entire face to begin to twist and deform, making him look extremely hideous and terrifying.

But he still gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty: "Your Highness, if you want to save the emperor, you have to go to Worry-Free Valley. Because the poison the emperor was poisoned with is very strange, I am afraid that only Worry-Free Valley has the method and corresponding antidote to detoxify in the world."

As soon as the voice fell, a scream was heard——"Ah......"

It turned out that just as Boss Xue had just finished speaking, the dagger in Ling Yan's hand stabbed into the back of his hand again, and blood gushed out instantly, staining the ground red.

"At this point, you still dare to hide something from this prince! Do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Ling Yan's eyes were wide open with rage flashing in them, as if he was going to tear the person in front of him into pieces in the next second.

I saw that Boss Xue's face, which was originally rosy, was now as pale as paper. Beads of sweat as big as beans kept rolling down his forehead, gathering into crystal clear beads of sweat, like pearls that had broken off the string.

He panted and said, "If Your Highness the Crown Prince has any doubts about what I said, you can just take my life with a knife."

"I would like to remind His Royal Highness that without my guidance, you and the others may not even be able to enter the gate of Worry-Free Valley tomorrow."

"Even if you are lucky enough to enter the valley, it is filled with extremely dangerous traps. With your strength, I am afraid you will never come back, let alone rescue the Crown Princess who is trapped inside."

Hearing this, Ling Yan's brows were tightly knitted, his face was full of anger, and he suddenly stretched out his right hand and tightly grasped Boss Xue's thin neck like an iron clamp.

In just a moment, Boss Xue's face turned red due to suffocation. His handsome face was instantly distorted by the sudden severe pain, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.

But despite this, he still endured the pain, forced a smile, and said intermittently: "Your Highness...if you think that I dared to deceive you...you can...kill me immediately..."

Ling Yan gnashed his teeth and said, "Master, don't think that this prince doesn't dare to attack you! If I find out that you are telling a lie, I will make you wish you were dead!"

Facing Ling Yan's threat, Boss Xue's smile grew even wider, and he responded calmly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is naturally a brave, fearless, and resolute person. It would be a piece of cake for him to take my life."

"It's just that... Your Highness the Crown Prince might as well weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. Don't let your impulse ruin important things..."

After a long while, Ling Yan finally loosened his grip, but still ordered his men to tie him up tightly. He stared at him with a sharp gaze, and said coldly, "Grandmaster, if anything happens to the emperor, not only you, but your entire Xue family will not be able to escape the blame. You will all be buried with the emperor!"

Boss Xue pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, as if he had turned a deaf ear to Ling Yan's threat.

Seeing this, Ling Yan felt a little relieved, thinking that he had finally calmed down a bit.

Therefore, after Ling Yan confirmed that Mr. Xue had no intention of struggling or resisting, he turned around and walked out of the room with peace of mind.

However, what Ling Yan never expected was that shortly after he stepped out of the door, a ghostly black figure quietly flashed into the house.

The black shadow moved as fast as the wind and arrived in front of Boss Xue in the blink of an eye.

When he saw clearly what Boss Xue looked like at this moment, his eyes that were originally hidden in the darkness suddenly ignited with raging anger, as if they could burn everything to ashes.

The shadow lowered his voice and asked anxiously, "Master Imperial Master, do you need me to help you out of this predicament?"

Boss Xue shook his head gently. His face, which had been in great pain during the torture during the day, now looked unusually relaxed. He even had a barely perceptible smile on his face, and replied softly, "No need to do this."

Hearing Boss Xue's refusal, the shadow was slightly startled, but quickly continued, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treated you like this, don't we need to secretly teach him a lesson?"

Before he finished speaking, Boss Xue suddenly raised his head, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

The black shadow standing aside felt that the air around him seemed to have suddenly dropped several degrees, which was chilling.

Then, Boss Xue was heard to scold in a cold tone: "How dare you! Are you trying to ruin the layout carefully planned by our national teacher?"

The black shadow was so frightened that he trembled all over, and quickly knelt on his knees, and replied in fear and trepidation: "I have absolutely no such intention, I hope that Master Imperial Master will forgive me!"

Boss Xue snorted coldly and ignored the subordinate who was kneeling on the ground and trembling. Instead, he continued to ask with a gloomy face: "Did you get any results from the investigation I asked you to do?"

When talking about serious matters, the man's originally relaxed face suddenly became extremely serious, as if he had become a different person. He said solemnly: "After a careful investigation, it has been confirmed that Master Jin does have a serious problem."

Upon hearing this news, Boss Xue's eyes suddenly darkened, as dark and deep as a deep pool. He stared at the person in front of him and asked in a low and powerful voice, "Have you found out who did this?"

However, facing Boss Xue's questioning, the man in black chose to remain silent, which was obviously an attitude of denial.

At this moment, Boss Xue on the side suddenly jumped up, and slapped the man in black with his backhand.

With a crisp "pop" sound, the man in black flew straight out like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground.

A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, splashing onto the ground, forming a shocking blood flower.

At this moment, Boss Xue's face was ferocious and extremely vicious. Where was his usual weak look?

"What a useless piece of trash!" Boss Xue shouted angrily.

Despite being beaten so badly, the man in black did not dare to fight back. He just lowered his head silently and endured it all.

"Get out of here! If anything goes wrong tomorrow, you'll come to see me with your head on your shoulders!" Boss Xue shouted, pointing at the door.

"yes………"

The man in black responded timidly, then crawled out of the room.

After the man in black left, Boss Xue slowly walked to the window and looked up at the twinkling stars in the night sky.

For some reason, he found that the star that belonged to him was gradually becoming dim, and his expression became increasingly serious.
