After sitting alone in the stone pavilion for a long time, the sky gradually darkened, and after a while, the moon rose.

"Princess, let's go back, if the emperor can't wait for the princess, he will be in a hurry."

Qingling, who had been standing behind me, reminded in a low voice.

I looked up at the night sky in the middle of the moon, moved my legs, which were sitting a little numb, and walked out of the stone pavilion with my feet up.

On the forest path leading to the imperial study, it was quiet and dark, except for Qingling, there was no figure around.

I walked down the cobblestone path with my feet up, and my body was creepy for no reason, and my heart was a little uneasy.

"Princess, be careful!" Qingling's exclamation came from his ears.

I subconsciously dodged to the side, and with a faint sound, a slender black shadow flew past my left ear and stabbed heavily into the low tree on the side.

It was too dark for me to make out what it was, but it was clear that someone was trying to kill me.

The green shadow flashed in front of her, and Qingling fell in front of me, she looked around with a serious face, her brows furrowed, and a willow leaf sword in her hand flashed a faint cold light in the bright moonlight.

Looking at Qingling's solemn expression, it seems that the person who came to kill me tonight is a master.

Almost immediately, I thought, since someone wants my life, what will happen to Yexue's side, is there already an assassin who has gone to his side?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get a little anxious.

It's a pity that at this moment I am a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect myself.

Just as I was worried about the night snow, I only heard the sound of branches and leaves, and several black-clothed masked people suddenly appeared on the originally empty path, carrying blood-dripping swords in their hands, and their eyes exposed outside the black square scarf stared at me coldly, without a trace of superfluous emotion.

Dead soldiers! It's a dead man.

Many palace ministers in Beiyang Kingdom will raise dead soldiers, these people are mainly for their own masters to secretly eradicate the existence of dissidents, and will die in order to achieve the task, especially like this kind of murder that happened in the palace, even if they succeeded in killing the assassination target, they had only one way to die.

"Princess, Qingling is blocking them, you hurry up!"

Before Qingling's words fell, his body was vertical, and he had already intersected with the swords of the black-clothed masked people.

I looked at Qingling, who was fighting fiercely, gritted my teeth, and turned around and ran to the other side of the cobblestone path, shouting 'help!' as I ran. ’

Unfortunately, I had barely taken two steps out when several black shadows appeared on the other side of the path and surrounded me, with swords facing me.

I looked at the black-clothed man approaching step by step with some despair, my body kept retreating, and then I looked behind me, and the few black-clothed people who were fighting with Qingling, two of them had already come out of the battle circle and forced me to come.

There are wolves in front of me and tigers in the back, and I am a waste of firewood, and it seems that I am going to die here today.

When it was too late, the man in black who was approaching behind him swung his long sword and stabbed straight at me, and at that moment, the man in black who was approaching in front of him also raised the long sword in his hand, but not at me, but at the man in black behind me.

All I could hear was 'Bang! With a bang, two swords struck at my side, and in the dark night, sparks burst out.

It's two gangs! A flash of inspiration flashed through my head.

They're obviously all here for me, but one is to kill me, and the other is for an unclear purpose.

Thinking of this, I looked at Qingling, who was still fighting with the man in black, and quickly made a decision. While the attention of the two groups was attracted by each other, I lowered my head and lowered my body, and ran into the thick low trees on the side of the road.
