No one expected that something unexpected would happen. The man in black jumped out of the dense leaves and headed straight towards the emperor with a sharp sword in his hand.
"Protect him!" Wang Chengxiang's face turned pale with fright, he shouted at the top of his lungs, and hurriedly protected the emperor and backed away.
Zhao Zongheng calmed down after a moment of fear, calmly stepped back, supported Zhao Yuanxi, frowned and looked at his shoulder that was penetrated by arrow feathers, and his face sank: "Is your uncle okay?"
Zhao Yuanzhen looked gloomy, closed his eyes and raised his hand to pull out the long sword from the waist of the guard next to him, raised his hand to cut off the arrow tail, and shook his head at Zhao Zongheng: "I'm fine, these assassins have extraordinary skills, like dead soldiers.
”
"Yeah." Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes and said, "Stay alive."
"Yes." Zhao Yuanzhen rushed into the crowd with his sword and fought with the men in black.
The goal of these people is very clear, they are coming for the emperor, and they are approaching step by step. Unfortunately, it is Han Yulang who is guarding the emperor today. Which of her soldiers is not an elite?
Those men in black could not get even half a step closer to the emperor for a long time. Han Yulang was holding a long sword and was at ease in the fight. His martial arts was extremely outstanding. When the battle situation became more and more anxious and the men in black saw that they were invincible, those men actually
Suddenly, he changed direction at the same time and attacked Si Ning Pond.
Zhao Zongheng's originally calm expression suddenly changed when he saw the sword stabbing Si Ningchi: "Achi——!"
Si Ningchi raised her eyes and met Zhao Zongheng's frightened eyes. This was the first time she saw such a look on Zhao Zongheng's face. She thought he was always calm and calm, or gentle and indifferent.
.
Cang——!
The long sword that was close to him was broken two inches away from Si Ningchi. Shen Ting turned sideways to block Siningchi behind him, turned the chopsticks in his hand, and ejected directly without hesitation.
Inserted into the head of the man in black.
The air around seemed to be silent for a moment, and the men in black looked at Shen Ting in fear. They thought they were just an inconspicuous eunuch serving the Queen, but they didn't expect to have such inner strength!
"Retreat." Seeing that the situation was not right, those men in black suddenly released countless hidden darts from their sleeves and flew away.
"Stop them!" Zhao Zongheng raised his eyes and shouted.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" One of the men in black walked around behind Zhao Zongheng at some point, and the hidden dart passed towards Zhao Zongheng. Even though Han Yulang reacted very quickly, the moment he threw out the hidden dart, the dart in her hand was
The long sword also pierced the body of the man in black.
Zhao Zongheng couldn't dodge, and his arm was almost cut open by the flying hidden dart.
Siningchi's heart suddenly trembled, and he hurriedly ran forward: "Your Majesty?"
Zhao Zongheng covered his wound and remained silent. Hearing Si Ningchi's concerned voice, he raised his head: "I'm fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zongheng felt that his whole body was spinning and he fell into Si Ningchi's arms. Si Ningchi looked down and saw black blood flowing from the wound he was covering.
"The secret dart is poisonous!" Si Ningchi took a breath of air, turned around and called out: "Shen Ting!"
"Slave is here." Shen Ting stepped forward and reached out to seal Zhao Zongheng's acupuncture points. Si Ningchi pulled off his belt and wrapped it around Zhao Zongheng's arm, tightening it to prevent the poison from spreading to the body.
"General Han, is the assassin alive?" Si Ningchi turned around and asked coldly.
"They are all dead soldiers, with poison in their mouths, and I was unable to leave any survivors alive." Han Yulang shook his head and responded.
"Escort the emperor back to the palace." Si Ningchi raised his eyes and looked at Han Yulang and said, "I will leave it to General Han to deal with the aftermath."
"I obey the decree."
The news that the emperor was assassinated and injured was immediately known to everyone in the palace. The imperial physician and maids came in and out of the Chengming Palace. The queen and all the concubines in the palace were waiting outside the palace. What did Concubine De and Concubine Xian want to ask? , but looking at the cold expression on the Queen’s face, she didn’t dare to speak.
There was a noise outside the door, and Si Ningchi looked up and saw Empress Dowager Cui, who waved away the guards and rushed into the palace.
"Where is the Emperor? Where is the Emperor!?" Empress Dowager Cui looked anxious. She looked around before heading towards the bedroom.
"The Queen Mother, the doctors are treating the Emperor, please wait outside." Wang Chengxiang quickly stepped forward to block the Queen Mother Cui's way.
"How could the good Emperor be injured! How did you serve the Emperor!" Empress Dowager Cui screamed angrily, her anxious and worried look didn't look fake. Wang Chengxiang had a troubled face and didn't know what to say.
Empress Dowager Cui was furious. She turned to look at Si Ningchi, who was sitting peacefully on the chair, and said with anger in her eyes: "Is this how the empress serves the emperor?"
Si Ningchi raised his eyes to look at Empress Dowager Cui and said in a calm tone: "Is the Empress Dowager going to ask me about my concubine's crime?"
Empress Dowager Cui laughed angrily, looking at Si Ningchi's natural behavior. The emperor didn't know whether he was alive or dead inside, but she didn't have the slightest trace of worry, thanks to the emperor's favor!
"The queen and the emperor went on a spring outing in the suburbs of Beijing. She failed to protect the emperor, and actually injured the emperor." Empress Cui pointed at Si Ningchi and said: "If the emperor has any shortcomings, the Ai family will want you to be buried with him!"
"There is no need for the Queen Mother to be so anxious to curse the Emperor to death." Si Ningchi chuckled when he heard this, looked at Queen Mother Cui with cold eyes and said, "Those who don't know would think that the Queen Mother is so anxious to seize the Emperor's power. ."
"You are so presumptuous!" Empress Dowager Cui glared at Si Ningchi and said with some disbelief: "The emperor's situation is so critical, but you can be so calm and calm. Should the Ai family say that you are ruthless and unjust, or should we praise you for facing danger? Not messy."
"Thank you, the Queen Mother." Si Ningchi curled his lips and smiled: "I have a brain and can tell the difference."
"Unlike some people, they have no other ability except yelling and disturbing people's peace."
"..."
Seeing that the atmosphere between the Queen Mother and the Empress was gradually going wrong, Wang Chengxiang felt agitated. He opened the curtain in the bedroom and the imperial doctor finally came out, successfully attracting everyone's attention. Queen Mother Cui immediately went up to her and said, "How is your Majesty?
?"
The imperial doctor glanced at Empress Dowager Cui and bowed his head, then bowed down in the direction where Si Ningchi was standing and said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother said that the emperor is fine and the toxins in the body are well controlled. The ministers and several
The adults joined forces and used silver needles to force out the poison."
"It's just that the wound on the arm is very deep, and there is still some remaining poison. It may be difficult to move in the past few days." The imperial doctor carefully gestured the location of the wound on the arm, basically saying that he couldn't lift his hand in the past few days.
"What kind of sequelae will there be?" Si Ningchi asked in a low voice with a slight frown.
"This..." The imperial doctor shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee it now. The poison is too ferocious. It's lucky to be able to force it out. I can only wait for the emperor to wake up and then observe it."
