The closest Ouchi guards around him were six or seven meters away. Even though they were highly skilled in martial arts and much faster than the palace maids, they were still unable to protect Li Chen in the first place due to the distance disadvantage.
Under the electric light and flint, Li Chen only heard behind him the eunuch who had warned him before shouting: "Your Highness, be careful!"
Then Li Chen felt his collar being pulled and yanked backwards.
He staggered back a step, and it was precisely because of this step that Li Chen could barely avoid the palace maid's dagger.
There was a stabbing sound, and the clothes on Li Chen's chest were cut open, but Li Chen was not hurt.
The attack failed, and the resentment and viciousness on the palace maid's face became even greater.
Without any time to say anything, she swung the dagger towards Li Chen's heart with her backhand and stabbed it for the second time.
After such a moment of delay, Li Chen's eyes blurred, and a eunuch was already standing in front of him.
Then I saw the dagger stabbing into the eunuch's chest.
The eunuch's body trembled, his eyes widened, and he stretched out his hands to tightly hug the palace maid's wrist to prevent her from taking out the dagger. At the same time, blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, but he still shouted to catch the assassin.
Being blocked twice in a row, the palace maid was filled with hatred.
She tried hard to pull her arm back, trying to pull out the dagger, but the eunuch held on to him tightly and prevented her from succeeding.
It's said to be late and fast, and it's complicated to talk about, but it really happens in just a few breaths.
Before the palace maid could even struggle, the surrounding Ouchi guards had already rushed up.
Although the palace maid is cruel, she is actually just an ordinary person without any kung fu.
He was immediately held up by the Ouchi guards with knives and knelt on the ground.
Before the palace maid was hacked to death by the palace guards, Li Chen said coldly: "Save her life."
"Send the imperial doctor over to treat his injury."
Li Chen ordered the people around him, then he walked up to the eunuch with a dagger stuck in his chest and asked, "What's your name?"
The young eunuch opened his mouth and blood poured out of his mouth. Although he was sweating all over from the pain and his face turned pale, he still tried his best to answer in a steady voice: "Your Highness, my name is Xiaochuanzi, and she is from the Xi Zheng Palace."
Attendance."
The so-called attendant is actually the lowest eunuch who is responsible for cleaning the front and back of Xi Zheng Palace.
Li Chen nodded and said: "You have done a good job and have protected me. Don't talk now. After the imperial doctor diagnoses and treats you, I will naturally reward you based on your merits."
Although he was weak due to excessive blood loss, Xiaochuanzi felt a strange flush on his face when he heard Li Chen's promise.
He struggled to nod and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Soon, Ogawa Zijian was taken down for treatment by the guards.
Ogawako, who was not usually well received by the Ouchi guards, received great respect at this time.
Because everyone understands that this time Xiaochuanzi has done a good job in escorting him, and I am afraid that he will become famous in the future.
Looking coldly at the kneeling palace maid who was pressed to the ground, Li Chen said: "Take her to the Baihua Palace, and I will personally interrogate her."
After saying that, Li Chen calmly walked towards the Baihua Palace.
At the entrance of Baihua Palace, Zhao Rui, who had just received the news that Li Chen had been assassinated, hurriedly ran out and happened to meet Li Chen who was coming with a large number of people.
"Your Highness!"
Zhao Rui looked panicked and came to Li Chen and asked: "You were assassinated? Doesn't it matter? Were you injured?"
Without waiting for Li Chen to reply, Zhao Rui saw the gash on Li Chen's chest and immediately panicked and said: "Your Highness, you are injured!? Imperial doctor! Where did all the imperial doctors die!?"
