His voice, as cold as ice, made the chill in the palace even more intense. It also made Lian Yue's panic-stricken heart almost jump out of his throat. He was trembling with fear, and kept trembling, as if the blood in his body was cold to him.
The sound condensed into ice.
"I don't know him—"
Lian Yue glanced at the man and then looked away. The injuries on the man's body really made her sigh and made her feel horrified.
"Come here, let Princess Lianyue see it clearly before drawing any conclusions."
Long Chen Yijun's face was gloomy and he ordered the guards on the side in a cold voice.
After listening to the order, the two guards picked up the unconscious and dying man, moved him in front of Lian Yue, and turned the man's face to Bian Yue.
She held her breath for many months. The strong smell of blood on the man made her stomach churn and make her feel sick!
She frowned and raised her eyes to carefully look at the unconscious man in front of her!
When she saw the man's face clearly, she opened her eyes wide in surprise and couldn't believe her eyes!
She blinked a few times and took a closer look to make sure that she had seen it correctly. Her heart suddenly sank to the bottom of her heart.
Just now Xuan Yuwei said that Xing Yuwei and Tian Yuwei had returned to Lianyun Kingdom, so who is this tortured and incompetent person in front of him?
This is obviously Xing Yuwei. Are there really two people who look exactly the same in the world?
Or is it that what Xuan Yuwei said before was all lies to her?
"Princess Lianyue, do you recognize this person?"
Long Chen also took in Lian Yue's astonished expression, his cold handsome face was covered with a layer of frost, and his voice was a bit colder.
"Go back to the emperor, I don't know this person!"
Lian Yue's face was so frightened that she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Long Chenyi's cold and handsome face. There was also a slight tremor in her voice.
She must not say that she knows this person, otherwise, the lies she told Long Chenyi before will be self-defeating.
"You really don't know him!" Seeing Lian Yue still denying it, Long Chenyi's cold eyes burst out with strong murderous intent. He raised his eyes and looked outside the hall, and said coldly: "Bring the person here!"
After the words of the order fell, several secret guards escorted six men in black who were wounded by arrows into the inner hall, and forced them to kneel in front of Long Chenyi, "Master, all six of them have been captured."
When he glanced at the few people who were brought in, Lianyue was trembling with fear. He clenched his fists tightly and his body was shaking uncontrollably. Fear gradually spread in his heart.
Sure enough, several imperial guards were captured by Long Chenyi's people. Fortunately, Xing Yuwei was not among the imperial guards.
Before Long Chen could ask, she raised her eyes and looked at him, and said in horror: "Your Majesty, calm down, these imperial guards are following me to protect my safety, they are definitely not assassins who broke into the palace!"
Long Chen also narrowed his eyes coldly, glanced at the six guards, and sneered: "Eight Xuantian guards have been cultivated by Emperor Lianyun. In front of you, there are only seven guards. Where is the other one?"
Hearing Long Chenyi's words, Lian Yue's heart skipped a beat and sank to the bottom, and his pale face became a little whiter.
Could it be that Long Chen also recognized the eight imperial guards and knew that the dying imperial guard in front of him was one of the eight imperial guards?
Her thin body swayed uncontrollably, and a strong sense of fear surrounded her tightly.
So what happened?
Why would Long Chen catch Xing Yuwei and subject him to such horrific torture?
Why did Xuan Yuwei lie to her?
"Your Majesty, my concubine's father is seriously ill, and the other two imperial guards have returned to Lianyun Kingdom!"
Without knowing it, she could only tell Long Chenyi what Xuan Yuwei said before.
"Princess Lianyue means that the man in front of you is not one of the eight imperial guards!"
Long Chen also held the chair's hand a little tighter. The matter was already in front of his eyes, and Lian Yue still gritted his teeth and refused to confess.
It was hard for him to believe that Lianyue didn't know everything. Even if she really didn't know, she had already reached this point, so why did she need to show off.
"Back to the Emperor, the other two guards have indeed rushed back to Lianyun Kingdom. We have been ordered to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess. We have no malicious intentions. Please calm down, Your Majesty."
At this time, Xuan Yuwei, who was kneeling on the ground, held back the arrow wound on his body and said in a rather respectful tone.
Long Chenyi's pupils shrank, and murderous intent suddenly rose up all over his body. He raised his hand to Lan Yi beside him. Lan Yi immediately took out a dagger, walked to Lianyue, handed the dagger over, "This person is Hanguang Temple
Princess Lao Lianyue will share the burden of killing the emperor’s assassin and deal with it.”
Hearing this, Lianyue's head exploded with a bang, and her consciousness was shattered instantly. Her face was filled with shock and disbelief. She simply couldn't believe what her ears were hearing.
She was stunned. Xing Yuwei was the assassin who was caught in Hanguang Temple's assassination of Long Chenyi?
This, how is this possible? A few days ago, she also met Xing Yuwei. At that time, Long Chen had already imprisoned the assassin captured by Hanguang Temple into the ninth floor of the heavenly prison.
If the person in front of him is really the assassin who assassinated Long Chenyi, then he is definitely not Xing Yuwei.
"Why, Princess Lianyue doesn't want to share the burden for the Emperor?"
Seeing Lianyue stunned and not picking up the dagger for a long time, Lan Yi reminded him coldly.
"No, no, I, I have never killed anyone."
After coming back to her senses, Lian Yue looked at the cold dagger in front of her, her heart filled with fear.
She has never killed a living being, let alone a human being!
"Princess Lianyue, don't be afraid, just take the dagger and insert it into the stabbed chest. The emperor was injured by this person, doesn't Princess Lianyue want to avenge the emperor?"
Seeing that Lian Yue did not take the dagger, Lan Yi took the initiative to put the dagger into Lian Yue's hand, pointed at the chest of the man in black and said.
Lianyue's hand holding the dagger couldn't stop trembling, and the cold light of the dagger looked even colder under the candlelight.
She looked at the chest of the man in black with fear, swallowing her saliva, and her panicked heart almost jumped out of her throat.
She held the dagger tremblingly and walked towards the mutilated chest of the man in black, but she couldn't put her hand down.
"Lanyi, help Princess Lianyue and teach her how to kill people."
Seeing that Lian Yue did not dare to take action, Long Chen also narrowed his cold eyes and gave instructions to Lan Yi.
After receiving the order, Lan Yi took Lianyue's trembling hand, moved it to the chest of the man in black, and thrust the dagger into the chest of the man in black.
"ah--"
Lian Yue screamed in fear and saw blood spurting from the chest of the man in black onto her hand. She shook off Lan Yi's hand like a hot potato and fell down with her trembling body.
On the ground.
The man in black woke up from the severe pain in his chest, his face was twisted and ferocious, and he kept making painful moans from his throat.
He opened his eyes in pain, looked at the dagger inserted into his chest, mechanically raised his head and looked forward, "Princess, Princess——"
Lianyue looked at the man in black in front of her with eyes wide open and tears streaming down her face. She was stunned. If this man called her princess, then he was a royal guard.
