Chapter 165: Failed Assassination
The body of the original body has been raised by ripples, not only using the qi to enter the body to eliminate the residual poison, but also carrying out preliminary body refining, so holding the ripples of his natal sword, the aura of the whole person is a change, after killing a man in black with a sword, on the side of the body, he dodged a dark arrow.
"Go and deal with the person who released the dark arrow."
Ripple said directly to the phoenix head standing beside him.
"Yes!"
Feng Shou made a gesture, and someone secretly rushed to the place where the dark arrow was released just now.
Zhuo Xiuyuan is a royal garden, except for the empress's guards, it is some ordinary guards, compared with this group of dead soldiers who kill people without blinking, there is still a gap in combat power, although the number of guards is superior, but they are more disadvantaged in strangling opponents, after all, they are the defensive side.
Ripple held his natal sword and killed the man in black with ease.
is also because she is dressed in red and is guarded by the royal secret guard in the center, and the moment she leaves the courtyard, she attracts people in black who come and go.
In the eyes of the men in black, what is the point of killing those little minions, the empress is their main target, so the moment the ripples appear, she becomes the main target of the dead soldiers.
Because Ripple has the natal sword in her hand and her own strength, even if she becomes the main target, she still follows her own rhythm, chopping melons and vegetables to kill the man in black who pounces.
Feng Shou's movements were not slow, but when she reached the back, she found that she didn't seem to have as many black-clothed people as the empress had killed.
Just as Ripple slit the throat of a man in black, the Virtuous Squire also held his spear and joined the Empress under the escort of the Secret Guard.
Seeing the empress dressed in red, with a sword in her hand, mercilessly killing the black-clothed people around her, Xian Shijun also breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his gun and entered the battle circle.
After half an hour of fighting, more than a hundred black-clothed people who rushed in were wiped out, but the number of dead and wounded of the guards was also quite large, and Ripple held the Thunder Yao Sword without a trace of blood, and asked lightly:
"What about the princess and the children?"
"The empress rest assured, the children have been sent into the secret passage to take shelter temporarily, the empress is protecting Rong Shijun and her husband are coming here, and the emperor's subordinates have already sent people to go, and there is no movement for the time being."
Feng Shou frowned and said.
"Arrange for someone to take a look."
"Yes!"
At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves and boots rubbing the name of the place outside Zhuo Xiuyuan, the second princess was wearing armor and rushed over with the Praetorian Guards, and when she saw the ripples in red, the expression on her face was a little awkward, and then she immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and said:
"The courtier's rescue is too late! Please punish the Mother! ”
Ripple glanced at the generals who followed behind her, and then looked at the second princess kneeling in front of her, there was no expression on her face, but she looked at the second princess for a long time, so long that the back of the second princess was drenched with sweat.
"Get up! What are you guilty of? The other party has been planning for a long time, just to catch us off guard, and it is a great luck that you can come over. ”
After a long ripple, he said quietly, and then with a "bang", he inserted his sword back into the scabbard.
"Yes, the courtiers will escort the mother back to the palace."
The second princess immediately lowered her hand and said.
"Empress, something happened to the imperial husband."
A guard ran up to Ripple and whispered.
"What's going on? What did the guards do with him? ”
"The imperial husband was stabbed, and almost all the guards around him were killed, so the man in black was given a chance."
Konoe explained in a low voice.
"Father. Father, what's wrong with him? ”
The second princess's face turned pale, and she seemed to be frightened.
"You come with me to see your father."
Ripple commanded directly.
"Yes!"
The second princess got up at this time, followed behind the ripples, and hurriedly went to the courtyard of the imperial husband Zhao next to her, and when she was at the door, she met the eldest princess and Rong Shijun, although the two were a little embarrassed, but there were no wounds or blood stains on their bodies.
"Mother, are you alright?"
"You can't die, you guard your father, I'll go see the royal husband."
Ripple glanced at the eldest princess, as well as Rong Shijun, who was coughing desperately beside him, and said lightly.
"Yes, the courtiers will take care of Rong Shijun."
The eldest princess got out of the way with a very discerning look.
The second princess came to the courtyard of the imperial husband with an anxious face, and saw the corpses all over the courtyard, as well as the waiter who was kneeling on the ground and weeping, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
The second princess stepped into the courtyard first, and what she saw was the overturned table, chair, tea set, and blood on the ground, Mei Yuan was taking the pulse of the imperial husband Zhao who was lying on the bed, and the imperial husband lying on the bed was gray at this time, there was no trace of blood on his lips, and there was a thick gauze wrapped around his chest, and blood oozed from the gauze.
"Father!"
The second princess exclaimed in surprise, threw herself directly in front of the bed, her eyes were red, she held the white and transparent fingers of the imperial husband Zhao, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Mei Yuanzheng, my father he. How is he? ”
The silver-haired Mei Yuanzheng sighed and said in a deep voice:
"Talk to your father! See what he needs to explain to you. ”
This sentence almost sentenced the royal husband to death, and the second princess was directly stunned in place, she didn't expect that she was just playing a trick to save the driver and bitter meat, how could she really catch her father now.
"Father, open your eyes and see, it's me, I'm Huan'er!"
Tears finally fell from her eyes, and the second princess cried bitterly.
At this time, with the support of the medicine boy, Mei Yuan walked in front of Ripple and said ashamedly:
"Empress, the old minister is incompetent, the imperial husband was hurt by the man in black, and there is no way to return to the sky, the old minister just hangs his life with purple ginseng tablets, and it is estimated that there is only a stick of incense, if you have anything to say, tell the imperial husband as soon as possible."
"I know, it's hard to get the Plum Courtyard right! There has been a big change here, and the hospital is bringing people to treat the wounded. ”
"This is a matter within the old minister's responsibility, not hard!"
Before the man in black rushed in, Mei Yuan was directly sent to the beam by a secret guard, and she obediently stayed motionless on the beam of the room, and insisted until the sound of killing disappeared, and the secret guard came to ask her to treat the injured imperial husband, and then was put down from the beam of the house.
When I went out, I saw the medicine boy with a pale face, the little medicine boy was also smart, he knew that he was small, and he couldn't run away from those dead soldiers who specialized in killing, so he directly messed up the room, opened the doors and windows, and then slipped under the bed, creating the illusion that the house had been patronized by the dead, and only then did he crawl out when the reinforcements arrived.
Seeing that her little medicine boy was fine, Mei Yuanzheng rushed to treat the imperial husband with someone, but the sword of the dead man was ruthless and accurate, and she couldn't do anything, but fortunately, the empress did not blame her, so she took her little medicine boy to treat other injuries.
At this time, the atmosphere in the imperial husband's room was very heavy, and in the shouts of the second imperial daughter, the imperial husband Zhao finally opened his eyes, looking at his tear-stained daughter, the corners of his mouth tugged, as if he had a thousand words to say, and finally turned into a sentence:
"Huan'er. Don't cry! Father has a few words. I have to speak to your mother. ”
