The cold glow flickered.

Kill with a sword.

Seeing that the sword was about to pierce the young maid's eyebrows.

At this moment, a mutation suddenly occurred.

Suddenly, space and time seemed to freeze, and the black-clothed assassin found that his immortal sword could no longer advance a single inch.

What's going on?

He was shocked.

But in the next moment—

Bite!

The blade shattered incredibly, turning into countless fragments.

The tip of the sword flew backwards, piercing the throat of the black-clad assassin.

Before the blood could shoot out, his body burst into a golden flame, which immediately turned into ashes and dissipated into the air.

The little maid watched in horror at everything in front of her.

At that moment, she thought she was going to die.

It turned out to be the Assassin who died.

Who saved me?

She gasped in horror and looked around.

The night was quiet and breezy, as if nothing had happened.

The palace guards at the gate of the Shibain still didn't react.

Her eyes widened, and then she suddenly realized that her son would be in danger, and when she rushed to the door, she found that the outside of the gate had been locked, and the entire firewood courtyard was also shrouded in formation, and she couldn't get out at all.

"Chen'er ......"

The young maid's tears welled up again.

In the past long and sad years, she thought that she was used to this kind of life that was scorned and ridiculed by countless people, but when her son was taken away, she realized that there were still many hardships in life, which you couldn't bear no matter how strong you were.

The assassin's words made her realize that although her son was not dead, he would be in danger.

But she herself doesn't seem to be able to change anything.

Who will save their mother and their son?

She looked at the full moon in the sky, and her thoughts suddenly became clearer.

Because she suddenly realized that in this already empty palace, there was only one person who could save him from the black-clothed assassin just now.

In her eyes, there was a sudden light of expectation.

If that person, since he rescued her, maybe he would also be willing to save his son?

If that person is willing to take action, then all problems can be solved.

The young maid could not get out of the courtyard, so she had to kneel down for a long time, fold her hands, and plead in a loud voice in the most reverent manner.

"Your Royal Highness Prince Mu, did you save me?"

"Please, be merciful, save Chen'er, he is still a child, he doesn't understand anything, our mother and son don't want to be rich and rich, as long as he can live, no matter what the price, the slave and maid are willing to pay......"

"Please. ”

"Your Royal Highness, I beg you......"

But no matter how much she pleaded, there was no reaction from the rest of the house.

The young maid was still on her knees.

He prayed and pleaded with the luck of one in ten thousand of his heart.

Tears wet the ground in front of her.

She kowtowed, her forehead broke, bleeding.

Blood mixed with tears, stained with the delicate and gentle white jade face.

......

......

It's late at night.

Zheng Mansion.

The courtyard is deep.

The shock on Governor Zheng Yuan's face gradually faded in the dim light, turning into an unprecedented solemnity, and he slowly asked, "Are you sure?"

The chief of the guard of a god immortal who knelt on the ground said respectfully: "The person who answered came to report, when the assassin died, the golden immortal fire burned his body, and instantly turned into flying ashes, just like the battle of the imperial city that day, except for the one who made the move, I can't think of any other explanation." ”

Zheng Yuan's figure shook.

This is bad news, and it couldn't be worse.

He forcibly calmed himself down, and in his mind, he quickly analyzed the possibilities of various situations.

Could it be the one who wants to protect this mother and son?

If that's the case, let alone their Zheng family, even if the four major families of the Imperial City are united, they can't resist a finger from that person.

"No, that didn't have to protect the mother and son. ”

Zheng Yuan thought about it, and suddenly noticed another thing.

Sent someone to assassinate the lowly maid, in addition to the assassin, there were several other masters of Zheng Guozhang's mansion, who were outside to respond, and at the same time, some guards sent by the queen cooperated on the side.

If anyone wants to protect the prince's mother and son, it will not only be the assassin who will die.

None of the master responders who had witnessed the Assassin's death outside, as well as the dozen or so palace guards guarding the courtyard, would not survive under the wrath of that man.

After all, that person's methods can be ruthless.

The Caochuan Mansion coalition army that day, under the imperial city, was bleeding like a river, how terrible was it?

"There is only one explanation. ”

"The Chai Yuan was too close to the [Easy House], and the assassin intervened and disturbed the purity of that person, so he was killed!"

"This is reasonable, it is me before, in a hurry to achieve quick success, not thoughtful, and hastily killing people near [Leisurely House], which is equivalent to slapping that person in the face, killing the assassin, it is just a signal. ”

Zheng Yuan's mind raced, and he gradually calmed down.

At first, when he heard the news, he was indeed stupefied by the prestige of that person.

At this time, after careful analysis, I felt that the situation was not bad to that extent.

"Go down. ”

Zheng Yuan waved his hand.

The chief of the guard stepped back.

After a moment, Zheng Yuan looked at the shadows in the dim room and asked slowly, "Is the news clear? Why is Your Majesty in a hurry to establish a prince?"

In the dark.

"Judging by all indications, Your Majesty's dragon body is sick, but I'm afraid it's ...... It won't last long. ”

A dark voice came.

This time, Zheng Yuan's face, which was not old but covered with knife marks and cuts, did not show a too shocked expression as before.

He stared at the flickering lights in front of him for a long time before he said, "No wonder, no wonder...... Does this matter have anything to do with that person?"

In the darkness, the gloomy voice was silent for a long time before continuing: "That person is loyal to the current saint, and he will not do such a thing, I am afraid that the poison planted by the great eunuch Li Sun in His Majesty's body will attack at this time, and even that person has nothing to do." ”

"Alas. ”

Zheng Yuan sighed.

After a pause, he seemed to say to himself: "Sometimes, I really wish that my Zheng family had also sent someone to participate in the sword appreciation conference in the Sword Casting Pavilion...... Your Majesty can meet that person in this life, and it can be regarded as consuming all the good fortune of this sound. ”

In the darkness, the gloomy voice was silent.

Zheng Yuan took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.

In the next moment, his whole person suddenly became sharp, as if it was a sharp sword that was originally hidden in the scabbard, suddenly unsheathed, the edge was exposed, and the entire secret room had a feeling of sudden light.

"Hehe, since he is loyal to His Majesty, it is best, no matter what his strength is, he is just a courtier after all, and where can he go to the hairpin. ”

Zheng Yuan stood up and said with a smile: "Our opportunity has come, order to go down and proceed according to the plan." ”

......

It's pretty much the same time.

Gao Mansion, one of the four major families, in the secret hall, the head of the family, Gao Shengwei, also received the news of the death of the black-clothed assassin.

Gaofu's news network is extremely clever.

In a discussion with the doormen, he also came to a similar conclusion to Zheng Yuan.

And as for the signs that the emperor's life is imminent, he also perceived.

"Tomorrow's meeting is the most important thing. Although Mu Mu is a prince, after all, he is only a foreign surname, and his qualifications are too shallow, so he is not qualified to participate in the establishment of the prince, hehe, his surname is Mu, hasn't he always claimed to be loyal? At this time, he should not talk nonsense. ”

Gao Shengwei smiled confidently.

In this world, there are many people, no matter how great their ability is, but they are always controlled by others and trapped in the principles and laws in their hearts.

is like Mu Mu, who has great ability, but is stupidly loyal to the emperor.

This kind of person, no matter how great his ability, is not enough to mention.

All it takes is a few wrists to play with him.

......

......

One of the four major families of the Yang Mansion.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Yang Jia fell into a long silence.

"Scheduled cancellation. ”

He said lazily and yawned again, and then said lazily: "Send someone to tell my lazy sister, this time, he must not interfere, just be his concubine honestly." ”

The men withdrew.

"Ahh......h Let's make up for sleep first, and at tomorrow's court meeting, it's good to shrink your head and watch the excitement...... Hee-hee, beauty, husband, I'm here. ”

He went out into the backyard shirtless and in his coat.

......

......

Until dawn.

When it was almost dawn, the gate outside the courtyard opened.

A burly man wearing golden bright light immortal armor, full of majesty, came in with more than a dozen guards, and was taken aback when he saw the young maid kneeling on the ground, her face covered in blood.

"What's going on?"

He looked back at the palace guards behind him.

"This ...... The subordinates did not dare to enter the courtyard, so they ...... "a few guards guarding the gate, but they did not dare to raise their heads."

"Bastard, get down, and go to Chatian Prison to get twenty lashes. ”

The burly man shouted.

The guards hurriedly retreated.

The burly man walked over, bowed his head and saluted, and said, "Mrs. Yin, the chief of the guards of the Xiaguan Palace is Gao Yingyuan, and in the name of His Majesty, he welcomes Madame into the palace." ”

The young maid, who had been praying all night and had not received the slightest answer from [Xiaoyaoju], turned her head to look at Gao Yingyuan, stood up suddenly, didn't care about anything else, just said in a trembling voice: "Chen'er...... Are you still alive?"

Gao Yingyuan said: "Prince Chen is taken care of by the lower officials, safe and sound, Mrs. Yin, please tidy up your makeup, enter the palace with the lower officials, and participate in the court meeting." ”

Maid Yin was stunned: "Participate in the court meeting?"

She is a little maid with a humble status, what qualifications does she have to participate in the court meeting?

"What the hell is ...... What happened?" she asked.

Gao Yingyuan said: "The lower officials don't know, but when the lady goes, she will naturally know...... Come and help Mrs. Yin dress up. ”

Outside the firewood courtyard, a maid from the palace came in.

The four palace maids with quick hands and feet brought in the simple palace clothes that had been prepared a long time ago, and the waiters who were waiting for the hurried Yin maids to put them on, and painted a light makeup slightly, which was quickly sorted out.

This is not to say how good the palace is to the maid Yin.

Any courtier, when participating in the court meeting, must pay attention to appearance, so as not to affect the royal prestige.

Since the emperor has a decree, and Yin's maid also has to participate in the court meeting, it is natural that she has to dress up in advance and do a routine job.

As for the Yin maid kowtowing overnight, her broken face, after running the exercises slightly, and after the qi and blood were regenerated, she recovered-after all, she had a slave immortal cultivation.

About half an hour later.

After passing many checkpoints and guards, Yin's maid was taken to the Imperial Palace.

She had never been to this hall, which symbolized the supreme power of the Imperial Cliff Divine Dynasty.

Even the air here had a suffocating power for her.

She trembled nervously.

Especially when she entered the main hall, when the ministers in the hall were full of majesty and imposing spirits, when they looked at her, their eyes were as if they were sharp swords that wanted to penetrate her ten thousand swords.

Under the leadership of Gao Yingyuan, the maid Yin entered the imperial hall in a daze.

"Mother......

A surprising child's voice sounded.

Maid Yin reflexively looked up, and saw that under the 'arch guards' of several eunuchs, her son, dressed in clean and beautiful clothes, was standing on the steps on the right hand side under the dragon chair, and when she saw her, she couldn't help but speak.
