Chapter 824: Chapter 824 An Unexpected Way (2)

Tana foolishly gazed at the distant shadows, indeed not fellow travelers, impossible to detain no matter the effort.

With a melancholic heart, she almost mechanically advanced to fight.

"Hehe, if it weren’t for the Princess forbidding us from killing you, none of you would have been left," a cold laugh from an assassin.

"Enough talk, hurry and catch up with the Third Young Master," another assassin flung his hand, dispersing a powder pouch immediately. A fragrant scent filled the air, then all the people from North Country felt numbness and weakness in their limbs; their weapons fell to the ground, and they too sat down in the snow.

"Despicable, using poison!" the Sixth Princess’s face flushed with anger.

"Hehe, you’re far inferior compared to us," an assassin gave her a kick.

Then, under the watchful eyes of all, they immediately reached the mountain peak, each found a "giant bird," and then took off with the wind.

"Hmph." The Sixth Princess pounded the snow, extremely annoyed in her heart.

"Fire arrows." The guards on the mountainside, after a moment of chaos, immediately calmed down.

"Stop." Alhatu regained consciousness and immediately halted his subordinates’ actions. Although Lin Ziyin’s heart was not with him, he still did not want Lin Ziyin to suffer any harm. Such a smart woman could not be retained by anyone unless she was willing.

Leaving, perhaps, was for the best.

The people at Hot Springs Villa, including the merchants who came to deliver vegetables that day, also witnessed the aerial marvel, everyone so astonished that they forgot the tasks at hand.

In fact, it was not comfortable for Lin Ziyin and the others in the air; firstly, the wind was too strong, sweeping them swiftly. Secondly, with snowflakes drifting, it was hard to control their gliders.

In the air, Luo Yan and Si Jinhan, fearing losing her, promptly threw out the tencel from their bodies, binding Lin Ziyin and themselves from afar.

This way, none of them were dispersed by the wind in the air.

Lin Ziyin’s bizarre departure from the Northern Land spread quickly across North Country.

Alhatu and the Sixth Princess did not dare to conceal anything from the Monarch, and they went to the Imperial Palace to confess their fault at the earliest opportunity.

Du Lengcang Empress, after hearing from a palace maid, immediately rushed to the grand hall; she feared that at such a time, the Monarch might erupt in great fury, potentially implicating Alhatu, and she also worried that the State Preceptor, Grand Consort, and Eldest Prince who always opposed Alhatu might exploit the situation.

In fact, upon hearing the news, the Grand Consort and Brukan truly set their supported ministers to advise the Emperor.

What displeased Brukan was that at such a crucial moment, the State Preceptor and Timur were nowhere to be found. Hence, the Timur family also maintained a rare silence.

The other princes, of course, wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity, and one after another, they sided with Brukan and the Grand Consort.

However, it was strangely enough, the Monarch, in the end, merely reprimanded Alhatu lightly and then let the matter drop.

"He favors him so unfairly," Brukan returned to his residence and furiously smashed all the decorations on the table.

"The Monarch’s heart has completely turned towards Alhatu and that despicable Du Lengcang; our mother-son status is worrisome," the Grand Consort’s expression was also displeased.

"What to do?" Brukan’s eyes shimmered with a bloodthirsty gleam.

"Get Bayal into the palace," the Grand Consort ordered grimly.

Lin Ziyin and her party finally landed in a flat and open area.

Like the Northern Land, North Country was vast and sparsely populated; after they landed, they started examining the map.
