"What did you say?" Mo Xifeng was sure that she was mishearing things as she looked at her sister, who was carrying Fu Qi Hong on her back. There was no way what her sister said could be true and even if it was true—how could she ask her to do something so crazy?
"I want you to take down an S-rank mecha morph," Mo Qiang repeated as the two sisters rushed over to the small lounge room where Fu Beichou was resting at the moment. She had asked about the ins and outs of the matter, and according to Fu Qi Hong, the one who was behind the mess in the palace was none other than Han Xiaorui.
That woman was the only one whom Fu Beichou trusted more than anyone in the palace. If Han Xiaorui was the one who was helping the rebels, then it would be easier for them to kill Fu Beichou.
As for why they wanted to kill Fu Beichou?
It was because they wanted to offset Fu Zhao's Mania!
Because Fu Zhao had been keeping a guard against Fu Shi, that woman had no idea that her mother's mania was more or less cured. Even if she killed Fu Beichou, it would only make Fu Zhao very, very, very angry, but it would not make her go crazy.
This was what Fu Qi Hong had heard from the assassins when he was lying on the floor, half unconscious.
Since that was the case, Mo Qiang knew that they could no longer waste any more time.
They have already wasted enough time looking for Fu Qi Hong; who knows what kind of situation Fu Beichou might be in at the moment?
Mo Qiang hoped that she was at least alive!
"Are you really not trying to joke with me?" Mo Xifeng asked as she walked alongside Mo Qiang.
"Do you think right now is the time to do it!?"
"I cannot take her down."
"Then can you slow her down?"
"How many minutes?"
"Three."
"Five."
"Four."
"Ten minutes."
Mo Qiang turned the emergency function of Fu Qi Hong's monitor on and said to Mo Xifeng, "Try to hold her back for ten minutes." She told her sister as she turned to her own monitor and activated the emergency alarm of her own monitor.
Mo Xifeng took a moment to assess Mo Qiang's expression before summoning her sword.
"Fine! But if I die, make sure to raise my child well."
And before Mo Qiang could process what she meant, Mo Xifeng charged past the corridors.
"Why—" Fu Beichou grunted. She used her remaining strength and pushed the woman away from her and questioned, "Why are you doing this, Xiaorui?"
She had treated this woman like her sister. No matter what, she had never turned a blind eye to Han Xiaorui's troubles. So why did this woman turn her back on her like this?
What made this woman betray her?
The two of them grew up together and fought together in so many battles, and yet Han Xiaorui, the one woman whom she took as her closest aide, sold her off!
"Let us not do this, your highness," sneered Han Xiaorui. "There is no point in asking why I did it and what made me do it. You and I both know that nothing will change."
Fu Beichou gritted her teeth. She also knew that nothing was going to change even if she found out the reason why Han Xiaorui betrayed her but at least she would know what went wrong before she died!
That's right.
Even though Fu Beichou was fighting back, she was struggling; she knew that she could only last for a few more minutes before going down. After all, the lullaby of this low-ranking mecha morph was really effective. She never thought that the rebels would come up with this strategy.
"Upsetting, isn't it?" Han Xiaorui noticed Fu Beichou looking at the C rank mecha morph again and again. Her lips curled up in a wickedly sadistic smile, and she said to Fu Beichou, "You and your sister looked down on these low-ranking mecha morphs all your lives, and now you are going to die because of one!"
She yelled the last few words before charging at Fu Beichou, her sword arm raised in the air.
BANG!
