Vice General Chen was furious and kicked the knee of the man in black mercilessly, and the man in black instantly fell to the ground due to inertia.

"Daring! When death is dying, you dare to be disrespectful to our mother! Don't look at what you are! ”

The black-clothed man's back was pressed by Vice General Chen, and the whole person fell to his knees, but his neck was still stubborn, and his eyes were staring at Jiang Ning on the side, that look made people shudder?

"Mother? What is it, Lao Tzu and the Son of Heaven dare to assassinate, and can you still put this girl in your eyes? ”

Jiang Jingning was silent and did not say anything, she had seen too many blank eyes and insults over the years, and she had long been accustomed to treating this kind of person coldly, she knew that if she refuted her anger, it would give these people a reason to continue to kick their noses in the face.

Perhaps because his humiliation did not achieve the expected effect, the man in black became angry, and then scolded, "Slut, isn't it just a poor breed who can only live on the grace of a man, and you still think that you are really born with a phoenix life?" Hahahaha, it's a big joke in the world. ”

"Shut up!" The annoyance on Vice Admiral Chen's face was even worse, and he kicked the man in black on the shoulder, and the man in black fell to the ground.

Because of the rope on his body, he had some difficulty in his behavior, and struggled on the ground twice, but finally failed to get up.

"That's it." Jiang Ning shook his head, obviously not intending to continue.

However, the anger of the man in black intensified among her quiet people, and he struggled to pounce on Jiang Ning, scolding loudly.

"Slut, who do you look down on? You're like the dog emperor, you can't die well. ”

Vice General Chen kicked the man in black again, and the man in black staggered and fell down, vomiting a mouthful of blood from his mouth. The resentment on his face was even worse.

"Bring it back." The voice that suddenly sounded behind him was calm and unwavering, but there was a hint of anger.

Jiang Ning turned around in surprise, but saw that Mu Jingzhao was already standing behind him at some point.

"Your Majesty." Vice General Chen's face was pale, and he pressed the man in black to step forward according to his words.

Mu Jingzhao's expression was indifferent, he walked slowly, and approached the man in black step by step, as he continued to get closer, the resentment on the face of the man in black gradually turned into horror.

"Dog Emperor ——!"

The other party's insults just spoke, and in the next second, they completely disappeared.

Mu Jingzhao's movements were so fast that Jiang Ning hadn't even noticed what was happening.

The man in black fell to the ground, his eyes widened, his fingers clutching his neck, blood spilling from between his fingers.

Mu Jingzhao turned around and slowly walked to Jiang Ning, there was a bit of undisguised pity on his face, he slowly raised his hand, and was about to seem to touch Jiang Ning's cheek, but when the blood on his fingertips was revealed, he drooped.

"You've been wronged."

Jiang Ning didn't hear it, but looked at the man in black who was already silent behind him in a little daze.

"Let's go rest first, you don't care about any of this." His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

At this moment, a shout came from inside the carriage, and Mu Jingzhao glanced at Jiang Ning deeply, turned around and got into the carriage.

Before leaving, he patted her shoulder gently, very gently.

Jiang Ning didn't move, just stared at the dead man in front of him in a daze, his body was lying on the ground in a somewhat distorted position, his eyes widened, as if he was frightened, his palm was still trying his best to cover his injured neck, blood gushed out from his neck, stained a large piece of red on the ground, and did not enter the pebble crevices of the shallows by the stream, as if he had taken root in this land.

"I'm sorry for frightening you." Vice Admiral Chen smiled apologetically at her, and he and another Praetorian Guard, holding the arm of the man in black, dragged him away.

Blood continued to spill from under the man in black, staining the ground with hideous blood marks.

Jiang Ning froze in place, she looked at the bloodstain, watching the bright red color gradually darken, blending with the texture of the pebbles.

She clearly knew that this man in black always had to die, he had committed a big crime, and such a crime was not too much for even the Nine Clans.

However, when she saw all this happening, her heart was shaken and terrified like never before.

She had seen countless lives and deaths, she had seen her sister engulfed in flames, and she had seen the old beggar who had adopted her dying in front of her.

But she has never felt so truly that in the face of absolute power, ordinary people's lives are so cheap and fragile.

It's as easy as crushing an ant.

She had never felt so clearly as at this moment that the person she was with day and night was the emperor, with supreme power, and if he wanted to kill him, he only needed to hook his little thumb slightly.

She and Mu Jingzhao have been together for so long, and they once quarreled because of the other party's pride as an emperor.

But in her heart, he was always just a kind-hearted young master who was forced to occupy a position, naïve, arrogant, but absolutely kind.

Until today, he quietly tore open a hole, revealing his cruel and ferocious side, and she was a little chilled.

Just when Jiang Ning was stunned, Mu Jingzhao's angry shout came from the carriage behind him, "If you don't have it, go find me!" If the queen dies because of this, none of you want to live! ”

Jiang Ning was stunned, lifted the curtain again and entered the carriage, Mu Jingzhao raised his eyes to see that there was still a ferocity in his eyes that had not had time to be restrained.

Jiang Ning's heart trembled, the overwhelming fear almost engulfed her, she settled down, and turned her head to look at the trembling Imperial Doctor beside her, "What's the matter?" ”

The imperial doctor glanced at Mu Jingzhao cautiously, and then slowly spoke, "The queen's mother is too injured, and the medicine that the minister carries with her is only enough for two hours, if you can't get the herbs in time, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of ......" He trembled and fell to the ground, and didn't dare to look at Jiang Ning again.

"How far is it from the nearest town."

"About five hours."

"What's that herb called?"

"Thistles and almonds are fine."

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, then nodded, "These two herbs are known in the palace, and the two imperial doctors will draw the pattern and distribute it to the forbidden army and the palace, how about going out to find it?" ”

"This is a feasible strategy, but it is just a mother's daughter. How can you do this kind of rough work? ”

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Ning's voice was still faint, but he never dared to look at Mu Jingzhao's eyes, "Anyway, this palace is also frightened when it is idle, and it can't find anything to do." ”

After that, she looked up at Mu Jingzhao. The two looked at each other, and they both saw a little strangeness in each other's eyes. still

In fact, needless to say, Jiang Ning also understood that the reason why he didn't let the guards go out to look for medicinal herbs was because he was worried that the assassins would come back, so he took advantage of the emptiness of the defense to attack Mu Jingzhao.

But what a stupid assassin would have dared to assassinate under the noses of so many Praetorian Guards.

Moreover, the target of his assassination is still the current saint who is good at martial arts.
