Chapter 483: Sneak Into The Imperial Palace

Hearing Xu Xiang’s question, Mu Yucheng stopped moving. He looked at her for a while, then hugged her tightly and asked, "Why are you asking that question? You know I’m only afraid of one thing, and that is losing you."

Their two bodies were still connected, and Xu Xiang could feel every change in his body. She sighed and said, "Yucheng, we will be fine. You will not lose me and I will not leave you."

Seeing her round and beautiful lychee eyes looking at him tenderly, Mu Yucheng looked away and said, "I’m not afraid. I know we will be fine, but I can’t get rid of these uneasy feelings. I can only calm down when I hug you."

After learning the reason for her husband’s strange behavior, Xu Xiang felt distress for him. She pulled him closer, and kissed him to assure him that everything would be fine.

Xu Xiang looked at Mu Yucheng and said softly: "Yucheng, I feel uneasy too. But I know that with you by my side, I will be fine. As long as I am here, I will not let anything happen to the two of us, nor will I let anything happen to Huan Yun and the second prince."

After hearing what she said, Mu Yucheng could no longer hold back his love for his wife. He kissed her and they hugged each other until the bright sky darkened.

When they finally left the inn secretly, the stars were densely covering the night sky. Without the faint moonlight illuminating the world, the imperial capital city of the Shang Empire fell into another long and dark night again.

After leaving the inn, Xu Xiang looked at the silent imperial city and said, "Yucheng, before we go to the imperial palace, help me set up these devices."

Mu Yucheng looked at the small bag in his wife’s hand and asked curiously: "What’s in the bag?"

Xu Xiang opened the bag and took out a small metal ball. She showed the metal ball to Mu Yucheng and said, "This is a new weapon I designed after I came to this world. Due to the complex design and rare materials, I can only make fifty at the moment."

Mu Yucheng took the small metal ball from her palm, examined it carefully, and asked, "What is the use of this small ball?"

Xu Xiang smiled and said to him: "To set up barriers. After what happened in Qing Zhu Village, I found that I was lacking in defense. Therefore, I designed these weapons."

After hearing what she said, Mu Yucheng looked at her and asked, "Since this is for defense, why do you call it a weapon?"

Taking back the small metal ball from Mu Yucheng, Xu Xiang said, "Because after this device is activated, everything inside can be sealed. Although nothing can harm people inside the barrier, nothing inside the barrier can get out too. If necessary, we can use this device to trap the people of Moon Pavilion and the Hong Yue Sect."

After hearing her explanation, Mu Yucheng thought for a while and said, "Isn’t it too dangerous to use this device? We might accidentally trap ourselves inside the barrier."

Xu Xiang shook her head and said calmly: "Don’t worry, I can open the barrier from the inside if needed."

Seeing her confident look, Mu Yucheng finally agreed and said, "All right. Where do you want to set these devices?"

Xu Xiang pointed to the imperial palace and said, "There. I want to set up this device around the imperial palace, just in case."

Mu Yucheng nodded toward her, put his arm around her waist, and said, "All right. Hold me tight."

"Mhm."

After confirming that Xu Xiang had hugged him tightly, Mu Yucheng used the Thousand Cloud Steps Technique and flew towards the imperial palace. Under the dim lights around the imperial palace, Xu Xiang and Mu Yucheng moved quietly and planted the small metal balls.

Thirty minutes later, all the small metal balls were already planted around the imperial palace. Seeing that it was almost time for the next shift change of the imperial guards, Mu Yucheng hugged his wife tightly and waited for the imperial guards’ shift change.

Seeing the opportunity, he jumped and easily entered the heavily guarded imperial palace. After landing gently on the ground, Mu Yucheng looked around and said, "It seems that this is the imperial garden."

Xu Xiang nodded, took out the reconnaissance device, and started surveying and mapping the imperial palace with the drones. Hiding under one of the big rocks around the imperial garden, Xu Xiang looked at the screen and saw a map of the imperial palace slowly appearing on the screen.

Five minutes later, Xu Xiang’s eyes lit up when she saw two drones actually starting to map the hidden passages beneath Ming De Palace. She gently pulled Mu Yucheng’s sleeve and said, "Yucheng, look at this."

Hearing what she said, Mu Yucheng looked at the screen and saw a large open space under the Ming De Palace. He thought for a moment and asked, "Is this where the space gate is?"

Xu Xiang nodded and said, "Looking at the map of the imperial palace, the only place where the large space gate can be stored is underground. It seems we have to go there."

"What about the formation? Don’t you want to destroy the formation first?" Mu Yucheng asked with raised eyebrows.

After pondering on their choices, Xu Xiang said, "When we came here just now, I found that most of the common people had already left the imperial capital city. What’s more, the only people who left here were the imperial guards and some servants. Judging from the number of people here now, I doubt they will activate the formation."

After listening to her words, Mu Yucheng said, "There is only one hour left before the imperial guards change their shifts again."

Xu Xiang nodded, showed him the map, and said, "Let’s go."
