Chapter 81: Assassination in the Palace

Summer has passed. The garden began to prepare to return to the palace. Fufeng and Xiao Anzi were busy packing up their things. I don't have time to talk to me. My stomach was crooked and I was resting on the chaise long. Seeing that my brows were furrowed, Fleur said with concern, "Master. Do you want to summon Imperial Physician Lu to show your master?"

I said lightly, "No. I'll be fine when I rest." But he secretly said in his heart: I think it's just a few days of delivery. But I wasn't prepared at all.

I got into the carriage with great difficulty. Yongyan smiled and held my hand. Snuggled in his arms there was a faint smell of ambergris. I was more and more worried. Yongyan carefully stroked my belly. Said happily: "Yu Jue. In another month's time, we will be able to see my brother or Gege born."

I tugged at the hairs on my sideburns. lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Then the emperor likes Brother. It's still Gege."

Yongyan thought for a moment. said with a smile: "I naturally like Brother. But it would be nice to have a Gege as smart and beautiful as Yu Jue."

I smiled and said nothing. Flip open the bright yellow curtain and enjoy the scenery outside. A gust of hot and humid wind blew through my heart, and I felt irritable. The mighty procession slowly marched forward like gold on the ground. Yongyan patted my hand comfortingly.

The majestic architecture of the Forbidden City looms. It's been more than four months since I left the Forbidden City. Gradually, the carriage picked up speed. Just entered the Shenwu Gate. I heard a commotion in the procession. Yongyan asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

None of the coachmen and guards outside answered. Yongyan was angry and just wanted to open the curtain when a guard with a bloody face broke into sight. There was a weak voice: "Your Majesty. Oh no. There are Assassins ......"

Yongyan's stunned "what" was still unspoken. The guard fell to the ground with a bang. Yongyan subconsciously protected me and said calmly: "Yujue. You don't move in the carriage. I'm going to go out and have a look."

I nervously pulled Yongyan. Looking at the calmness on his face, I suddenly admired him very much. I said worriedly: "The emperor is the king of a country. There can't be any accidents. Just wait in the carriage. The concubine believes that the Imperial Forest Army in the palace will come to the rescue immediately."

The fighting outside became more and more intense. I eagerly lifted the curtain and saw countless men in black gradually approaching the carriage. A large number of guards surrounded the carriage. Hold the last line of defense. I'm worried about the safety of the crescent moon and the others who are following behind. I couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in my hand. The other hand held Yongyan tightly. I'm afraid he'll get out of the carriage.

Suddenly, an arrow shot into the carriage. I looked at the arrow that was only two fingers away from me. I breathed a sigh of relief. Yongyan angrily pulled out the arrow. "Daring Assassin. At the feet of the Son of Heaven. Shall they be presumptuous? I'm going to tear them to pieces."

I heard a few years ago that Yongyan had implemented some measures to suppress the forces after he ascended the throne. suppressed the White Lotus Sect and others. Now I must have gotten the news that I was ambushed here in advance. I want to put Yongyan to death. I was flustered for a moment, and then quickly calmed down and said, "Your Majesty. Since ancient times, evil has prevailed over good. The emperor is the Son of Heaven. How can they be deterred by these thieves?"

Yongyan looked coldly at the Eight Banners guards fighting outside. Forcefully lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. He turned to me and said, "Don't move in the carriage. Don't come down."

I haven't answered yet. Yongyan lowered the curtain. I looked out anxiously. The arm kept shaking. Suddenly, I heard the voice of Concubine Ru calling Yongyan. Concubine Ru didn't know when she came to Yongyan's side. He opened his arms and stopped in front of Yongyan. Yongyan's eyes flickered with guilt and emotion.

looked at Concubine Ru with an expression of death. I can't help but sigh in my heart. Suddenly, the horse neighed sharply. Raise their front hooves and bump into each other. As if frightened, the four white horses rushed out of the crowd and ran in the opposite direction of the palace. I sat down in the carriage with a heavy fall. Shaking from side to side. I was so frightened that I could barely scream. There was also a hot and selfish pain in the abdomen.

The carriage was moving at a breakneck speed like the wind. I put my hands on my stomach. Almost crying, "Help. Somebody will save me?" I looked out the window at the scenery that was speeding by. sighed inwardly. Am I going to die here?

"Yujue. Don't be afraid. I'm here to save you." Outside the carriage came the call of Cong Mian. I was pleasantly surprised to wipe away my tears. Choked up: "Brother Lu. I'm fine. I'm so scared."

Cong Mian rode on the horse, and kept raising the whip and beating the horse's back. When keeping a balance with my carriage. I watched as he gritted his teeth and jumped onto my carriage. I screamed in amazement, "Brother Lu. You have to be careful. Leave me alone. Get out of here."

It was as if he hadn't heard. Nor are you afraid of bumps in the road. Lisso took out the dagger from his body and cut the reins of the carriage one by one. Then jumped into the car and protected me. I hugged him with tears in my eyes. It's like all your own dependence. The four white horses fled in all directions as if they were happy. The carriage crashed into one place. Turn it to the side. I was protected by Cong Mian and only crashed into his arms.

A heart-rending pain in the abdomen. Layers of sweat began to spread on his face. I said weakly: "Brother Lu. My stomach hurts." The carriage seemed to turn around on the ground before it stopped. He looked at my pale face. Said to himself: "It's not good ......"

The noisy sound of horses' hooves sounded in my ears. Mixed with calling my name. I thought to myself that Yongyan had sent someone to look for me. My hand that hugged Cong Mian tightly suddenly let go. Right in the moment. I saw the loss in Cong Mian's eyes beside me.

Suddenly, I felt a strange sensation in my lower body. I touched it. The bright red blood stabbed my eyes. I panicked and said, "What's going on?"

Cong Mian looked down at me. There is pity in his eyes. Said gently: "Yu Jue. All right. All right. It'll be fine in a while. Don't be afraid. Okay?"

I heard his voice and calmed down as if I had gained strength. Biting his lip tightly. Sweat ran down his cheeks and left on his muscular back. The crowd gathered around the torn carriage. After Cong Mian got out of the car, he said in a loud voice: "Jin promised to be frightened. Going into labor is coming soon. Go and inform the palace people to prepare."

One of them got the news and hurried away. Fleur and Fufeng picked me out of the carriage. Everyone drove the carriage to the Forbidden City in a hurry. I asked weakly, "How is the emperor?"

Fu Feng sneered as if reproached on the side: "Master. The emperor has been rescued by the royal guards who have arrived. The master should take care of himself."

The head is tilted. Let the pain crawl all over the body.
