Chapter 419: The time to kill has come

Could it be that in this abandoned palace, in addition to them and the man in black, there is a fourth person?

Perhaps what is really terrifying is not the killer man in black, but this fourth person who has come and gone without a trace! Although Empress Le did not see it with her own eyes, her feelings became stronger and stronger! An hour later, the mysterious man in black was about to go on a killing spree, why did he have to wait until midnight to do it? Empress Le didn't understand, and she didn't have time to think about it!

Zhao Hang suddenly exclaimed again: "Mother, look at ......"

Queen Le was startled, she thought that the man in black had caught up again. Following the direction of Zhao Hang's finger, Queen Le didn't see the man in black, but saw a cylindrical bulge.

This cylindrical bulge is hidden in the corner of the wall and is covered with a thick layer of dust. If you don't pay attention to it, it is difficult for ordinary people to find it, but Zhao Hang found it unexpectedly.

Queen Le walked over cautiously and gently peeled off the dust that covered it.

The cylindrical bumps are earthy gray in color, closely resembling the color of dust on the floor.

Queen Le handed the torch in her hand to Zhao Hang, and used her two hands to pull the pillar.

Suddenly, there was a "click", and the cylindrical protrusion cracked in the middle, and the inside was empty.

This sudden sound startled Queen Le and Zhao Hang. In the bright firelight, Empress Le clearly saw wisps of red smoke wafting out of the shattered cylinder. In the blink of an eye, red smoke filled the small room.

Queen Le suddenly felt that her body was out of control, and she was surprised to find that her body was slowly floating upward.

The same is true of Zhao Hang!

Queen Le wanted to reach out to pull Zhao Hang, but she couldn't use any strength, she wanted to speak, but she couldn't make a sound.

Queen Le and Zhao kept floating upward.

The ceiling melted and disappeared in the red smoke.

The second floor of the palace!

The red smoke disappeared at some point.

Queen Le scrambled up from the ground, stunned by the scene in front of her.

The second and first floors of this palace are simply different worlds! The chairs carved from Nan wood, the gold-leaf-covered tabletops, the glittering walls, the glittering floors, and a bright red carpet are spread all the way to the feet of Empress Le and Zhao Hang. A pretty little maid had already knelt on the ground: "The slave maid greets the emperor and the queen mother!"

Empress Le and Zhao stood in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.

This is not a dream, this is a living reality!

Queen Le trembled and helped the little girl up: "This is ...... Where is it?"

The little maid smiled, revealing a mouthful of thin white teeth: "This is the Anle Palace, the emperor and the queen mother will always enjoy health and happiness when they come!"

Empress Le let out a long sigh of relief, no matter what place it was, at least it was much better than the dirty and terrifying first floor! She took Zhao Hang by the hand, walked along the red carpet, and sat down at a table covered with gold leaf. The chair carved by Nanmu is very comfortable to sit on.

Zhao Hang sat next to Queen Le, he stared at a pair of eyes and looked around.

Suddenly, the smell of food wafted in.

When Queen Le looked back, she saw a group of palace maids walking over with red lacquer plates in their hands. In a few moments, the whole table was filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas. The food was still steaming, apparently fresh out of the pot!

Zhao Hang stood up, his eyes wide open, he hadn't seen so many delicious foods for many years.

Queen Le just wanted to ask a few words, but the palace maids who served the food all left at once. Even the pretty little girl just now left at some point.

In a huge hall, there are only two people left, Queen Le and Zhao Hang!

The muscles in the corners of Queen Le's eyes throbbed violently, and she didn't know what was going on!

Zhao Hang looked at Queen Le and asked weakly, "Mother, can you eat the dishes on the table?"

Queen Le smiled: "Of course you can eat......! Eat ......," she said, but her heart was uneasy. "Isn't this food poisonous?" Queen Le thought so, but suddenly saw that her son Zhao Hang had picked up a piece of pheasant and was stuffing it into his mouth. "Wait a minute!" Queen Le suddenly reached out and knocked off the chopsticks in Zhao Hang's hand.

A pair of finely carved ebony chopsticks fell to the ground with a "dang long" sound, and the piece of pheasant meat that had just been picked up was flown out three feet away!

Zhao Hang looked at his mother in surprise: "Mother......"

Queen Le was stunned, and suddenly said, "Mother is hungry, eat a few pieces to fill your stomach first!"

Zhao looked at the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and suddenly asked, "Is my mother afraid that the food is poisonous?"

Queen Le didn't speak, and picked up a piece of pheasant meat with chopsticks.

Zhao Hang rushed over, hugged Queen Le's arm, and said with a panicked face: "Mother, I won't eat...... I'm not hungry......"

The chopsticks in Queen Le's hand slid limply onto the table, her hands trembling, tears rolling in her eyes.

"This food is indeed poisonous, if you eat it, you will die, if you don't eat it, you will not be able to escape death!" a cold voice came from behind him.

Queen Le looked back in shock.

The man in black in the bronze mask stood behind him at some point.

Queen Le didn't run, she knew that running was useless.

Midnight, sub-hour!

The man in black sighed and slowly raised the ghost-headed broadsword in his hand. If he wants to kill the two orphans and widows in front of him, he will have no effort!

Queen Le suddenly said sharply: "Wait a minute!"

The man in black said coldly, "What else do you have to say?"

Empress Le looked at the pair of flickering eyes behind the bronze mask, and suddenly said: "If I guess correctly, we have met before, although you have taken refuge in Zhao Xian, you are an old minister of the former emperor!"

The tall body of the man in black trembled, and a pair of lightning-bright eyes suddenly dimmed, although he did not speak, his performance was equivalent to admitting.

Empress Le sighed: "I know you are here by order, but ...... If the first emperor treated you well during his lifetime, how could you bear to kill his wife and children?"

The eyes of the man in black hidden behind the bronze mask no longer dared to look at Queen Le and Zhao Hang, but the ghost-headed broadsword in his hand was still tightly gripped.

Empress Le guarded Zhao Hang tightly behind her, she didn't speak again, she knew that it was useless to say more, if this man in black had received the favor of the first emperor, maybe he would open the net and let them go, if he didn't meet in the hands of the first emperor and suffered a blow, then he would never leave room for today!

The hall on the second floor became dead silent, and Queen Le and the killer man in black confronted each other motionlessly. Once this silent situation is broken, the life and death of Queen Le and Zhao Hang will be known!

At this moment, a rhythmic sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the silent hall.

Queen Le's heart immediately beat violently with the rhythmic footsteps.
