While everyone was fighting, Zhao Zirou stood outside the palace with a cold look.

With her beautiful appearance, she looked like a white flower blooming in the wilderness.

As Princess Roufu and the Princess of the Song Dynasty, she also held a position in the court and had countless things to do every day.

State affairs, civil affairs, and world affairs were all overwhelming.

If it weren't for the emperor's edict, she, as a daughter of the royal family, would never have been able to send any elixir to the strangers.

At this moment, a eunuch stepped forward, bent over and whispered.

"Your Highness, the competitions of several strangers have all ended. Feng Qitianlan defeated Ye Wuhen, Su Tong defeated Lu Lingyun, and Huajianjiu defeated Yun Zhonghe..."

Zhao Zirou nodded gently: "Okay, I know, you wait here."

With that, she turned and walked towards the depths of the palace.

In the huge corridor, only the guards stood silently, like clay sculptures and wooden sculptures.

Zhao Zirou came to a gorgeous bedroom and knocked on the door carefully.

"Father, the result of the competition has come out. I am here to report that several extraordinary people..."

However, before she finished her words, she was interrupted by a sharp scolding.

"What a noise! ​​Don't you know that your father just fell asleep?"

"It's okay that the ministers in the court are not close to me, but how can even you, a daughter, be so ignorant!"

As the door of the palace opened, a gorgeously dressed woman slowly walked out.

"Roufu greets Concubine Xuan."

Zhao Zirou hurriedly saluted and said, "Today's competition has a result, but those pills..."

At this time, Concubine Xuan had obvious displeasure on her face, and she interrupted impatiently.

"You can't even do something as simple as delivering a pill. With your ability, how can you be worthy of being a princess of the Song Dynasty!"

"Look at how submissive you are. You look just like your mother who died early. It's a waste of time to teach you such a waste!"

The other party's words were sharp, his eyes were cold, and his tone was extremely vicious.

Zhao Zirou's heart tightened, and her fingers curled slightly, but her face still maintained a submissive look.

She endured silently and whispered: "Concubine Xuan, since my father is not feeling well, Roufu will not bother you. What should I do with these pills?"

Concubine Xuan snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in the corner of her eyes: "Just give it to me, and wait until the emperor wakes up."

"Yes."

Zhao Zirou put down the pill and quietly left the bedroom.

Walking outside the hall, she raised her head and glanced at the gloomy sky outside.

I don't know when it started, and the sky began to rain.

Drops of cold raindrops, along with the wind, hit her body and slowly fell along her beautiful cheeks.

Seeing this, the eunuch standing in place hurried over with an umbrella.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Ouch, why are you standing in the rain? What if you get sick? What can I do?"

Zhao Zirou pursed her lips and spoke softly after a moment.

"Mr. Yuan of the Imperial Observatory said that strange people are rare variables in a thousand years. If used well, they are magic weapons. If not used well, they are disasters that will cause the suffering of all living beings..."

"Who do you think will win among the eight of them?"

The eunuch looked around cautiously and replied in a low voice: "Reporting to Your Highness, I think Young Master Lin will win. His strength is obviously above the others."

Zhao Zirou nodded and raised her autumn-like eyes thoughtfully.

Suddenly, her eyes became sharp.

"Noble Concubine Xuan has always lived in the harem, why did she come here today?"

"Also... how did she know that I didn't send the pills out?"

The eunuch's face changed slightly, and then he quickly regained his composure and explained in a low voice.

"Your Highness, you don't know that it was Noble Concubine Xuan who persuaded the emperor to be cautious with these strange people."

"She mentioned that the strange people didn't know etiquette and didn't obey the emperor's orders. She also specifically mentioned this bliss pill, saying that after our Song generals took this pill, they were all loyal. She thought that letting these strange people take it was the best way."

Zhao Zirou frowned, she looked at the old woman in front of her, the familiar face was particularly strange at this moment.

"Loyalty... There is no such miraculous medicine in the world. People's hearts are the most unpredictable. It's nothing more than those big noses using it to make father happy."

"But, since you know about this elixir, why didn't you remind me?"

Suddenly, her tone was cold, with a hint of interrogation.

The eunuch lowered his head slightly, but did not speak.

Zhao Zirou's heart was instantly cold.

She suddenly understood that the eunuch in front of her who had watched her grow up was probably also a spy planted by others.

Whether it was the imperial concubine or the prince, as long as she stayed in this palace, they would not be at peace.

ThisAt this moment, the eunuch raised his head, but a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just lowered her head.

"Your Highness... I can't help myself."

Zhao Zirou sighed softly, and her eyes gradually became colder.

In this place where imperial power is supreme, trust often means vulnerability.

"You go."

After saying that, she slowly turned around, walked out from under the umbrella, and stepped into the rain.

The eunuch behind her had a sad face, and two lines of tears slowly fell from the corners of his eyes.

"Your Highness... I'm sorry, Your Highness! I hope Your Highness will take good care of yourself in the future!"

After saying that, with a cold light passing by, she suddenly cut her throat.

Hearing the sound of a heavy object falling behind her, Zhao Zirou trembled, and a touch of sadness emerged.

She knew that being in the imperial family, this kind of thing was doomed to be unavoidable.

She could only bury her emotions completely and be a ruthless person to survive.

Zhao Zirou took a deep breath, resisted the urge to look back, and whispered to herself.

"From now on, there will be no more friendship."

After saying that, her expression gradually regained its calmness, and she stepped forward again, gradually going away.

...

At the same time, the top four competitions on the field have also ended one after another.

Lin Luo, Su Tong, Feng Qi Tian Lan, and Hua Jian Jiu have emerged and are about to start the final showdown.

The two winners will represent the Song Dynasty in the All-Server Star Championship at the end of the event a month later.

As the draw ended, the huge secret realm of the Star Ascension Platform, like some kind of complex mechanism, made a heavy roar and began to reorganize continuously.

After a while, the entire duel area was evenly divided into two huge arenas.

The audience from all directions gathered tightly, their eyes full of expectation and excitement, patiently waiting for the start of the game.

After a moment, four white lights flashed one after another.

Lin Luo felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the next second he was standing on the arena.

However, before he could stand firm, he heard an excited voice from the front.

"Hey! Let's see where you can run now!"

Su Tong appeared not far away with a smile on her face, staring at Lin Luo with burning eyes, and her voice was full of uncontrollable excitement.

She walked out of the white light with her slender legs.

Her originally cute face was now showing a fiery fighting spirit.

"Hehe, I came to this broken competition just to fight with you!"

"You must use all your skills later to satisfy me!"

Lin Luo heard this, his expression was calm, and he slightly raised the spear in his hand.

The cold spear pointed straight ahead, with a strong momentum and a strong determination.

"Don't worry, I will do my best! Make your trip worthwhile!"

Su Tong nodded with satisfaction.

"That's good! I hope you're not just good-looking but useless! Silver-plated spear head!"

After saying that, she exerted a little force with her slender legs and jumped out immediately.

In an instant, the purple palm shadows in the sky turned into a scorching storm, attacking violently!
