The bright sword blade reflected the candlelight and cast a shadow.
"No!" Jiu'er screamed and shrank behind Leng Ning, her body shaking even more than her voice.
Leng Ning turned around and blocked Jiu'er's face with his body, and stretched out his hand to pull Tianci into his arms. Although he felt that Liu Zhi died like this, it was a bit unfair, but he had no intention of interceding for him.
She and Tianci could not protect themselves in the palace, and they were qualified to intercede for Liu Zhi.
Avoiding Leng Ning's arm, Leng Tianci suddenly took a step forward and shouted to Mo Chuan, "Your Majesty, don't kill him!"
The tip of the sword came to a stop less than an inch away from the back of Liu Zhi's neck. Mo Chuan turned to Leng Tianci with a sullen face, and there was an unseeable depth in his eyes, "Why?!"
"Godsend!" Leng Ning was startled. He reached out and pulled Tianci to his side, and said to Mo Chuan, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Godsend is a careless person. Please..."
Raising his left hand to signal her to be silent, Mo Chuan slowly narrowed his eyes, "Liu Zhi is responsible for protecting the safety of Muxue Palace and Ninth Brother. Something like this happened on the first night. He was negligent in his duties. You stopped me."
Kill him, why?!"
Tianci raised his little face, and there was no trace of fear in his eyes, "Even if he made a mistake and corrected it, he wouldn't die. The emperor killed him casually, what's the difference between the assassin who wanted to kill Jiu'er, he was just a masked assassin.
Faces, none of them are covered!"
Leng Ning's expression suddenly changed. He raised his left hand and slapped Tianci on the face. At the same time, he flew up and kicked him behind the knee, knocking him to the ground.
The emperor apologizes!"
"Dad!" Tianci turned around and looked at Leng Ning unwillingly with his eyes. The palm just now had already left a red mark on his face, and blood overflowed from the corners of his lips. His eye sockets had already been filled with food.
The pain fills the water color.
Leng Ning's heart ached, but he just kept a cold face and squeezed out two words between his teeth, "Apologise!"
Two tears fell down his face like pearls. Tianci turned to Mo Chuan and leaned down, "Tianci said something wrong, please forgive me!"
Although he was holding back his tears, his swaying shoulders clearly showed his emotions.
In all his life, this was the first time for Leng Ning to be beaten. Not only was he beaten in front of so many people, but he was also beaten so hard. How could he not be sad?!
