Gardenia has no martial arts skills, and Ling Jiyun has put the silver needle away again. Now she can only use Qinggong to fly around in order to avoid this sudden fatal disaster.
The assassin was very smart. If he chose this time to come, he might have investigated clearly beforehand.
The black shadow was still chasing after her, and Gardenia didn't dare to fly out of Yaxu Palace because she couldn't guarantee that the black shadow had no accomplices. Luoxi was still drinking water in the inner hall, so she couldn't be harmed. She couldn't defeat the black shadow, but with the
With her Qinggong cultivation, even the dark shadows cannot get close to her.
With a frown, Gardenia asked: "Do I have a grudge against you? Any grudge?"
The shadow replied: "No."
"Then why do you have to kill me?" Gardenia asked after landing on the rockery.
The black shadow waved his sword and stabbed him, saying: "Because you shouldn't have come back. If you do, you will die."
Gardenia dodged the sharp sword approaching her, turned slightly sideways and stopped on the tree branch. Luoxi waited in the hall for a long time without seeing her mother go in, so she came out of the hall to greet her. She didn't want to see this amazing scene: "
Mother——.”
Damn it, Xi'er, "Xi'er, come into the hall quickly." Gardenia was distracted, and the black shadow pressed forward, stabbing Gardenia's arm with a sword.
Gardenia suddenly felt the tearing pain in her arm, and she turned sideways before the next sword struck. The air slid through a beautiful arc, and the bright red blood turned into strings like crystal dewdrops along with the drooping sleeves.
A string of drops dripped, and the blood stains blooming on the ground were like little bits of beautiful red plum blossoms, dazzlingly colorful.
With the experience of Luo Xun being attacked last time, Luo Xi shouted this time: "Come on, catch the assassin, catch the assassin."
The night guard patrolling not far outside the Yaxu Palace heard the call and rushed here quickly.
The black shadow could not catch up with Gardenia, but turned the sword and flew towards Luo Xi who kept shouting "catch the assassin". Gardenia's heart suddenly jumped up and she blurted out: "Xier, run quickly."
As he spoke, his body instinctively flew towards the black shadow.
After dinner, Ling Jiyun took Xun'er to the royal study. He liked peace and quiet and was used to supporting himself. The maids and eunuchs had all left. There was no one in the palace now. If something happened to Xi'er, he would not live anymore.
.
He approached the black shadow and took his hand. The black shadow turned around and pushed her away with another sword swing. Pain came from his abdomen again. He didn't have time to take care of himself and still shouted: "Xier, go quickly.
."
Luo Xi was so frightened that she couldn't speak. The black shadow easily put the sword on her neck.
Her heart seemed to have stopped breathing, and there was an indescribable depression in the air - her stream was in danger. She straightened up, supported the rockery and said, "Wait a minute."
The imperial guards gathered around. Last time, many people lost their heads because of the prince's incident. Now this kind of thing happened again. If we don't deal with it carefully, our lives may not be saved. Everyone was very energetic. The driver
Rescue Luo Xi from the assassin's arms.
In the Yaxu Palace, the lights were bright, and the high flames were burning and beating. Gardenia worked hard to steady her body, with cold sweat on her forehead: "If you let my daughter go, I can promise you anything."
"Show me your death."
The soul-stirring sound that sounded like coming from hell reached my ears with a coldness. What grudge does this person have against me? Does he have to put himself to death? He looked sideways at the imperial guard who was closest to him and said:
"Give me the knife."
The royal guard did not dare to move. The princess's life was precious, and the life of the princess's mother was also precious. If he handed the knife to her, it would be a good thing. Even if he had a hundred heads, he wouldn't be able to save it. But what would happen to the princess if he didn't hand it to her?
If something goes wrong, how can he save his hundreds of heads? Just as he was hesitating, Gardenia stretched out her hand to grab the knife and put it on her neck - it was cold, so cold that people couldn't help but shiver, "As long as you let it go
My daughter, I will commit suicide immediately."
"No." The black shadow said loudly: "After you commit suicide, I will let your daughter go."
"Do you keep your word?" She didn't believe in the shadow and couldn't gamble with her daughter's life.
"A true man, once he says something, it's hard to keep his word." The shadow raised his voice, telling him that he was a man of his word.
Holding the knife tightly in his hand, he looked tenderly at Luo Xi, whose face was full of tears: "Xi'er, don't cry. When mother is not here, you and your brother must take good care of yourself. Mother will be watching Xi'er with grandma in the sky, knowing that
What?"
"Mother——" Luoxi struggled: "You bad guy, let me go, let me go quickly."
Looking at the black shadow, Gardenia said coldly: "I hope you are the gentleman I say you are." After saying that, she increased the strength of her hand. Seeing that the knife was about to cut her throat, a small stone popped out in the darkness.
Knocked the knife from Gardenia's hand to the ground.
Feng Qing rushed forward with Yueyin and supported her: "Zhi Niang, what are you doing? What will the emperor do if you die? Are you going to leave him alone again?" Then he blocked her again.
Acupuncture points around the wound stop the blood from spreading.
My heart hurts more than the bleeding wound, and my eyes flashed with tears: "What can I do about Xi'er?"
Seeing that Luoxi was still in the hands of the assassin, he frowned and asked the commander of the Royal Forest Army on the side: "Have you informed the emperor?"
"Reporting to the prince, the emperor is convening the ministers in the royal study to discuss matters. His subordinates have sent people to inform them."
With a wave of his hand, the commander of the Royal Forest Army stood aside, holding his sword and waiting for orders. Looking at the assassin, Feng Qing said: "You must know that the princess in your hand is the apple of the emperor's eye. If something goes wrong, don't expect to see tomorrow.
Morning light."
"Hmph——." The shadow murmured coldly: "If Mingzhu's mother is buried with me, why should I be afraid of death?"
Gardenia's body became weaker and weaker, and her consciousness began to blur. She forced her eyes to see that her daughter was safe before she passed out.
"The Emperor has arrived——." Eunuch Zhang shouted loudly, and the imperial guards tightly surrounding Yaxu Palace made a way for them to move out of the way. Many archers ran in and surrounded the black figure again.
Ling Jiyun, with a cold and handsome face, came to Gardenia like lightning. He looked at her with blood all over her body with distress. Looking with sharp eyes, the knife in the hand of the black shadow holding Luoxi trembled obviously.
"Gardenia, how are you?" Ling Jiyun asked nervously, letting her lie in his arms.
Her trembling body betrayed her calm face at this time, with countless fears written on it. She was so weak in the end that she could no longer support herself. She looked at Ling Jiyun with tears in her eyes and suddenly begged: "Xier,
Save my creek."
"If you don't let go of the princess, I guarantee that you will die without a complete body." Ling Jiyun smiled sinisterly, with a bloodthirsty flavor in his smile.
The black shadow was still not afraid and said: "Since I dare to come, I am prepared to never return. If you want the princess in my hands to be safe, let the woman in your arms die."
What? Are they coming for Gardenia? Ling Jiyun frowned, and suddenly saw a shallow light flashing through the darkness, a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his deep eyes became evil.
