Chapter 557: Chapter 556: With Sister around, no one can hurt Xuan’er_1
Mu Fangyun’s eyes showed horror. She clenched the medicine bottle in her hand, enduring the heart-wrenching pain in her left shoulder, and walked towards the nearest poisoned Department of Justice female official who had fallen to the ground.

On the night without stars and the crescent moon, the darkness was like a whirlpool swallowing everything.
Deadly assassins swarmed in, the hidden Black Wolf Guard poised to strike, swarming towards the Imperial Palace like locusts.
Poisonous smoke filled the air, and wailing cries filled the ground.
Imperial Guards collapsed in swathes within the palace, the Empress’s fury almost causing her to cough up blood.
A person and a bird, like heavenly soldiers descending, weaved through the pitch-black night.
The sharp light of a sword pierced the night sky. Everywhere it passed, blood splattered and Black Wolf Guards fell one by one, dying on the spot.
“Rumble!”
The dark night sky suddenly flashed with lightning and thunder, wild winds tore through the air, and a torrential downpour came howling. The entire world was enveloped in rain in an instant.
The rain washed away the blood on the ground, the strong wind blew away the poisonous smoke, and the bloody slaughter gradually came to an end.

By early the next morning, the heavy rain had gradually stopped.
The lucky uninjured Imperial Guards braved the drizzling rain to clean up the aftermath.
Someone discovered with horror that there were hundreds of Black Wolf Guards who had died within the palace, each one had been killed instantly by a sword, and there were traces of what seemed to be fire burns.
The three Great Commanders of the Imperial Court unanimously declared a gag order, forbidding anyone from discussing the matter, and ordered the disposal of the Black Wolf Guards’ remains in the Mass Burial Ground outside the city for cremation.
In the public statement, it was claimed that the Imperial Court, Imperial Guards, and Garrison Battalion had all cooperated in annihilating the Beiming Black Wolf Guards overnight. They earnestly reported the incident to the Empress and requested her reward.
The Empress looked at the report with doubt, pondered for a long time, and abandoned the idea of investigating further.
She issued a decree to reward the soldiers who participated in the annihilation operation.
After a night of terror, the trembling people in their homes did not gradually venture out until the rains stopped around noon, and the streets and alleys were no longer as noisy as before.

Lin Qingluo and Little Kingfisher fought half the night and didn’t return to the Duke of Zhen’s residence until nearly dawn.
The person and the bird were extremely exhausted. They silently returned to the Fluttering Snow Residence. Once they comfortably lay on the bed, they fell into a deep sleep, waking up only when fully rested.
The Little Prince, holding Baoya, waited just outside the room. Apparently guessing something, he occasionally glanced at the door, his delicate eyebrows tinged with unyielding concern.
“Creak.”
The door opened, and Lin Qingluo stretched out her comfortable body and wandered out of the room, yawning.
“Sister, you’re awake!”
When the Little Prince saw that his sister was safe and sound, his obsidian-like eyes suddenly lit up, and he joyfully pounced into his sister’s arms.
“The rain has stopped, and the sky is so blue!”
Lin Qingluo affectionately rubbed the Little Prince’s head, looking at the particularly beautiful sky after the rain, her mood extremely refreshing.
“Sister, did you go out last night?”
The Little Prince looked up at her with his bright, big eyes, concern in his gaze. fгeewebnovёl.com
“Hush, Xuan’er, keep your voice down.”
Lin Qingluo glanced around, swiftly covered the Little Prince’s mouth.
“Xuan’er is worried about Sister.”
The Little Prince, with exceptional intelligence, guessed his sister’s reason for going out, tears welling up in his eyes.
“Xuan’er, be good, don’t cry. It’s already over.”
Lin Qingluo felt a surge of warmth in her heart and embraced the exceptionally tearful Little Prince, “As long as Sister is here, no one can harm Xuan’er.”
“Hmm.”
The Little Prince obediently nodded his head, like a spoiled child, rubbing his tears on his sister’s body.
“Ah, you, becoming more and more naughty!”
Lin Qingluo was both amused and irritated, looking down at her tear-stained clothes, feigning anger as she reached out to pinch his cheek.
