Jian Yi was shocked. If he hadn't been a killer for so many years and was used to dealing with all kinds of changes, he would have been frightened and lost his pace.
That little thing was just a small fragment of a crushed white jade cup, but what came directly to me was not just a fragment, it was clearly an internal force that could kill someone!
Before the small fragments arrived, the powerful internal force completely enveloped him like a dragnet.
If it weren't for Jian Yi's excellent Qing Gong and internal strength, he might not have been able to dodge this fragment.
But even though he dodged, his breath had been disrupted by the opponent's internal power.
When Aoba's long sword reached the front door, Jianyi's heart was in chaos and he was almost unable to avoid it.
On the contrary, his natural ability to avoid danger allowed him to take a step back with his feet before he could even react consciously.
Qingye's sword passed dangerously in front of him, and with a hiss, the sword wind pierced the clothes on his shoulders.
Jian Yi did not dare to be careless, and pulled out the long sword from his waist with a whoosh. The sword's light was like water, under the moonlight, without any hesitation.
It was an instinctive sword move, and it was amazing in actual combat over the years.
The sword technique was fierce, the sword wind was as cold as frost, and the sword energy was as hard as steel. The sound of the sword brush actually forced Qingye to take a few steps back in a hurry.
Even Aoba has never seen such a powerful swordsmanship.
This person is only inferior to her in terms of internal strength, but this swordsmanship can definitely make up for his lack of internal strength.
What's more, his internal strength is not as good as Qingye's, but his internal strength is also very comparable to others. Coupled with his unparalleled swordsmanship, he probably won't encounter many opponents while walking in the world.
He was easily forced back by her sword, and when he tried to entangle him again, the man in black had already walked away.
The fight between the two alerted the surrounding secret guards. Without Qingye's orders, several of the dozen or so secret guards had already chased them out.
There was a commotion outside soon, and the imperial guards were alerted. With such a huge team of guards, it would not be easy for the man to leave the palace smoothly, no matter how good his swordsmanship was.
Qingye glanced outside again, withdrew his sword light, then returned to the door of the house, opened the door and walked in.
"Master." Qingye walked up to the masked empress and said in a deep voice: "A man with very strong swordsmanship, about twenty-three or four years old."
"Is there a man with such a powerful swordsmanship in the palace?" Someone broke into the yard and tried to spy on her actions, but the masked queen didn't seem angry.
It's just a waste of a good white jade cup, which is a pity.
"Master, I will change a cup for you right now." Qingzhi felt a little guilty. Someone broke in outside, but she was unaware of it.
If the master hadn't crushed the cup and thrown the pieces away, she wouldn't have known what happened.
Qingye also reacted immediately and chased him out immediately, but she was a little belatedly aware of it.
Qingye naturally knows what Aochi is thinking, but since he is ten years older than Aochi, it doesn't matter if he reacts faster than her.
The most shocking thing is the master's skill. I thought that since the master's leg has been injured for so many years, the skill will decline, but I didn't expect that not only did it not drop at all, but it got even worse.
The master has been practicing martial arts these years, but even Qingye couldn't tell this and thought she had been recuperating.
"Master, do you want me to go out personally and find out what's going on?"
There is a man in the harem, which is something out of the ordinary, but this man is actually very skilled in martial arts and has extremely powerful swordsmanship. He even wants to spy on his master. If he doesn't find this man, he doesn't know what harm will happen in the future.
.
The masked empress closed her eyes as if to rest: "Emperor Qiwen will naturally send people to investigate, why do you need to go out?"
Qingye nodded and said, "Yes, Master, then I'm going to boil the medicine."
When Feng Jiu left, he left the medicine prescription for them. Qingye would cook the medicine himself every day and never give it to others.
Since the master refuses to investigate, then this matter should be left to Emperor Qiwen to investigate.
The master probably didn't care about the future, but she was overly concerned.
However, Qingye is not as relaxed as her master. With such a powerful man in the harem, he must have some degree of collusion with some empress or something.
If this person does not investigate thoroughly, he will definitely be detrimental to the master in the future.
But I don’t know what Emperor Qiwen can find out?
…
The harem was ablaze tonight, and the concubines didn't know when it happened. They only knew that there seemed to be an assassin in the harem.
As for who the assassin wanted to kill, no one knew.
The Holy Emperor did not come to the harem tonight, he was in his Yuxiao Palace.
Speaking of which, it seems that the Holy Emperor has not been to the harem for a long time. The news he came back from after asking is that even Yuxiao Palace has not invited his concubine to visit for a long time.
Only Concubine Qing has been able to go to Yuxiao Palace to see His Majesty from time to time recently. As for the other concubines, they want to go but don't dare.
Not everyone can go to Yuxiao Palace. Those concubines with little status couldn't even get in. They were kicked out by the little eunuch inside before they could get in.
So, who exactly is the assassin trying to kill?
Or is it that the assassin escaped from Yuxiao Palace?
Everyone was panic-stricken, but also extremely curious. Many concubines sent eunuchs and maids to inquire about the news. In the end, they only heard that the assassin had entered the Xuanhua Palace.
Xuanhua Hall, that is where the former empress and the current concubine Rong lived!
"How outrageous!" Nanny Qin stared at the intruding guards and said angrily: "Are you able to break into Concubine Rong's place at will? Why don't you get out quickly?"
Even though Concubine Rong's status in the palace is not as good as before, she still has the solid backing of the Nanmen clan!
Are all these people blind? They actually said they saw the assassin escape into the Xuanhua Palace?
"See Concubine Rong." The guard stepped forward. He didn't dare to look at the Holy Concubine at night, so his eyes did not fall directly on Concubine Rong.
However, the chief guard's attitude was tough: "My Majesty, my subordinates did witness the assassin escaping into the Xuanhua Palace with their own eyes. For the sake of my Majesty's safety, should I let my subordinates lead a search in the palace?"
"What do you mean? Do you still want to suspect that our mother-in-law is hiding some assassin?" Nanny Qin was extremely angry.
How could these people dare to say a word in front of the empress in the past? Now that the empress has been removed from the position of queen and demoted to a concubine, how dare they act so presumptuously?
Even if the Nanmen clan's military power has indeed been weakened, doesn't it still have half its strength?
What's more, Concubine Rong is the concubine of His Highness the Crown Prince, who dares to make a mistake?
Nanmen Rong glanced sideways at the captain of the guard, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "You alone are qualified to search the Xuanhua Palace of this palace?"
