After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 46 Surrounded and Killed on the Way
Fang Lingchu swallowed nervously.

[Guagua, how many people did the other side send?]

The system looked at the small red dots on the panel and said: "Not many, maybe around twenty."

Fang Lingyan said angrily, "Are you even speaking human language? Twenty assassins aren't enough? Are you crazy?"

The system asked, puzzled: "These 20 are just assassins from the Hundred Fiends Pavilion; there are probably a dozen or so other assassins as well."

Fang Lingchu almost fainted. Is this what a human being is saying?
[Guagua, do you want to die? Tell me.]

Waaaaah, why do so many people want her dead?

She was just a lowly working person, the most inconspicuous one at that.

Why.

Fang Lingchu just wanted to look up to the sky and roar, asking God what He wanted to do.

The system, confused by Fang Lingchu's agitation, asked, "How could we die? Host, why are you saying this?"

Fang Lingchu really wanted to open the system's data brain to see what it contained.

We're being hunted down, don't you think?

Hearing Fang Lingchu's words, the system explained: "But you have many more people protecting you, what are you afraid of?"

Fang Lingchu was somewhat confused when she heard that there were even more people protecting her.

Who protects me? Besides my fourth sister, who else can protect me?

The system looked at the blue dots on its panel and said, "[Quite a lot. His Majesty has sent you two squads of secret guards, your father has given you ten Wind Guards, Gu Wangyan has sent you a squad of Shadow Guards, and he's also given you a white jade flute. I feel like you have more people around you than the Crown Prince.]"

After thinking for a moment, the system continued: "These people are far more skilled and numerous than the assassins sent by the enemy. What's there to be afraid of? Facing them is like child's play."

Fang Lingchu listened to the system counting the people around her, and she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

[No, why do I have so many people protecting me? Am I some kind of national treasure? Why is everyone so afraid something will happen to me?]

The system, recalling lines from a storybook, said: "Aren't you the legendary 'group favorite'?"

Fang Lingchu glared at the system, but still patiently said, "Guagua, have you forgotten that we're all cannon fodder here? Only the protagonist has the 'group favorite' skill."

The system stated matter-of-factly: "In my world, you, host, are the protagonist, the most, most, most powerful protagonist."

Fang Lingchu: Speechless.

Fang Lingchu's carriage slowly turned into the alley, and then a huge number of assassins appeared from all directions, surrounding them.

At the same time, the hidden guards immediately appeared, and the two sides started fighting without exchanging a single word.

Raspberry and her four maids quickly surrounded the carriage, then said to Fang Lingchu, "Princess, stay inside and don't come out. It's dangerous."

Fang Lingchu had already heard the commotion outside. Fearfully, she hugged her hands and hid in a corner, trembling.

[System, are there many people outside? Should I go out, or should I activate my "jinx" skill?]

The system began to speak seriously: "Host, they are carrying poison."

Fang Lingchu hadn't expected those people to use poison, but she still asked curiously, "How did you know?"

Doesn't the system mean you can't access someone's gossip if you can't see them?
The system urgently said, "[This is not the time to worry about that. It seems the other side is planning to kill you with a hidden weapon. Host, be careful.]"

The system's message had barely finished when the sound of a hidden weapon piercing the air was heard.

[Host, be careful, lower your head.]

Upon hearing the system's voice, Fang Lingchu quickly lowered her head. The silver needle passed right by her head and stuck in the window on the side.

Seeing this, Fang Lingchu quickly shouted, "The other side has hidden weapons, be careful!"

Then he lay prone under the car, preventing the other party from attacking him. The assassin from the shadows fired several more poisoned needles.

The target was Fang Lingchu's maids.

The girls quickly drew their soft swords from their waists to block the poison needles flying from all directions.

Knowing that Fang Lingchu was not in immediate danger, two people stayed behind to protect her, while the others flew towards the person who had launched the hidden weapon.

At the same time, Feng arrived and joined the assassins, while also signaling to Gu Wangyan that Fang Lingchu was in trouble.

Upon seeing the signal, Gu Wangyan immediately rushed over with his business.

He looked at the several wounded guards and hidden guards with a chilling gaze.

Hua used her light-footed skills to quickly expose the person hiding in the shadows, and Raspberry and Cranberry quickly dealt with them. The three of them worked together and soon took care of the person hiding in the shadows.

No one fired a cold sword, and the battle on the ground quickly ended.

Fang Lingchu heard the fighting outside had stopped and quickly got up.

The system asked: "Is it over outside?"

The system announced: [It's over]

Hearing the system's words, Fang Lingchu breathed a sigh of relief before slowly peeking out.

Before his head could even emerge, Gu Wangyan pressed it back down.

Then he himself slowly entered the carriage in a wheelchair.

Fang Lingchu looked at Gu Wangyan with a puzzled expression, her face full of question marks.

Why won't you let her out?

Gu Wangyan came in and sat down, then said, "The outside isn't ready yet. Wait until they've finished before you go out."

The system also said: [Host, it's best not to go out. The outside is littered with corpses, bloodstains everywhere, and severed limbs lie scattered about; it's a bit gruesome.]

Upon hearing the system's words, Fang Lingchu immediately abandoned her idea of ​​going out now.

It's best not to look at dead people if you can avoid it, even though those people are there to take her life, she was still a little scared.

When Gu Wangyan saw that Fang Lingchu was no longer there, he sat quietly to keep her company.

The bodies outside will be dealt with.

Fang Lingchu felt she had nothing to do, so she started to want to watch the drama unfold again.

[Guagua, who wants to kill me?! Why do the Hundred Fiends Pavilion people want to kill me? What do I, a well-bred young lady who never leaves my home, have that they could possibly want to steal?]

The system said: [Host, are you sure you're a sheltered young lady who never leaves her home?]

Fang Lingchu said irritably, "Hey, hey, hey, where am I not a lady of high society? Besides, is this the time to discuss this?"

Thanks to the system's intervention, Fang Lingchu's psychological trauma from the assassination attempt was significantly reduced.

The system chuckled and said, "Of course, someone hired someone to commit murder."

Fang Lingchu was even more confused. She hadn't been attending court for long, and her parents had always strictly forbidden her from going out. Who had she offended?

Could it be my father's political enemy?
But that doesn't make sense. The emperor is still alive and well, and the crown prince is still around. It shouldn't be like this!
Fang Lingchu was still agonizing over who wanted to kill her, and the system remained silent to disturb her.

Fang Lingchu went through all the answers she could think of, but rejected them all.

Unable to figure it out, Fang Lingchu asked, "System, do you know who wants to kill me?"

Seeing that Fang Lingchu had finally asked her, the system said, "Host, you've finally remembered me."
