Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

On the opening day, Ling Chuan brought the girls from the Jiaofangsi to Shengshi Liuli early in the morning.

Although it was still early before the graduation ceremony, Ling Chuan still planned to let the girls rehearse again to avoid any mistakes later.

Whether it is the drama of the Jiaofangsi or the dim sum of Yunfu Ji, this is an excellent promotion opportunity and Lingchuan dare not neglect it.

However, to his surprise, Mrs. Li also came early in the morning, and Ling Chuan, who was watching the girls rehearsal, did not notice her.

It was not until Tao Ran and the others' plot reached the point where Hongniang and Cui's mother were arguing with each other that Mrs. Li's voice sounded faintly behind Ling Chuan.

"What? Are you using this play to blame me?"

Ling Chuan turned around and saw that it was Madam Li, and quickly bowed: "Madam Li, what are you talking about? I..."

Ling Chuan had only said half of his words when he suddenly realized something. Although he found it hard to believe, he still asked after a little hesitation: "Mrs. Li means... Lu Xi is your daughter?"

The Queen Mother frowned and almost scolded him, but when she thought about how she and Lu Xi had concealed their identities, she changed her tone and said, "Since you have guessed it, I will beat around the bush. I don't agree with what you and Xi'er are doing."

"Why?" Ling Chuan blurted out, but he quickly reacted and bowed to the Queen Mother again: "Lv Xi and I are in love, and I believe I can do whatever she asks. I also know that people of your level look down on ordinary people like me, but I am confident that you will be convinced."

"Heh." The Queen Mother sneered: "It is undeniable that you are an outstanding young man, but some things are determined at birth. Xi'er does not have time to wait for you to grow up. She shoulders the mission of the entire family."

Although Ling Chuan was filled with resentment, he still forced himself to control his emotions, put on a smile and said, "In fact, we can get married first and then develop our relationship. I promise that I will never let you down."

The Queen Mother sighed and was about to say something when suddenly a loud noise came from outside, followed by several screams.

Liu Jin's face turned pale as he rushed in from outside the yard: "Oh no, there's an assassin."

In fact, at the same time as the scream was heard, Chuyi had already flown onto the top of the wall, but a sound of breaking air was heard, and Chuyi was forced off the wall by a rain of arrows.

"This yard is surrounded."

Lian Chuyi's expression was so serious that Lingchuan immediately felt something was wrong. The last time he saw Chuyi with such a serious expression was in Ruyin County.

"Can we rush out?"

Chuyi shook his head: "There are too many people on the other side."

Shengshi Liuli is a private house with almost no houses around it. The entire yard is surrounded.

Ling Chuan pulled out a fist-sized object from his waist and stuffed it into Chu Yi's hand: "Light it up and throw it into the sky. The higher the better."

Chuyi frowned, but still took out a fire starter, lit the fuse, and threw the sparking thing into the air.

The thing exploded quickly in the sky, but it was not just one explosion, but one explosion after another, for a total of nine explosions.

"Let's hold on for a while, help will be here soon."

Chuyi nodded and looked outside the yard with a war-like attitude.

The Queen Mother glanced at Ling Chuan leisurely: "You have quite a lot of little gadgets, what's the matter? Have you arranged some staff?"

"I can't help it. I've offended too many people." Ling Chuan laughed dryly and said, "Madam Li, you should retreat to the house first, just in case."

During the short while they were talking, only seven or eight of the dozens of men in the yard retreated into the yard, two of whom had arrows sticking out of their bodies.

Immediately afterwards, masked men holding weapons rushed in from the door. Chuyi rushed forward and chopped with both palms, knocking down several masked men in succession.

However, there were too many assassins, and many of them poured into the yard from outside, so Chuyi had to retreat in front of Lingchuan and the Queen Mother.

However, the next moment, a rain of arrows shot over the courtyard wall. Chu Yi shouted loudly, turned around and took off his coat, then waved his clothes to roll up most of the arrows.

But there were not just one wave of arrows, but they were shot continuously into the yard. Although Chuyi swept away a lot of arrows while moving around, there were still many arrows shot at Lingchuan and the Queen Mother.

Ling Chuan was pulling the empress dowager back to the backyard at this moment. When he saw this situation, he quickly pulled the empress dowager behind him.

However, those guys rushed forward without hesitation, blocked many arrows, and some even blocked them directly with their bodies.

Two or three people were pierced by arrows on the spot, and Lingchuan was not spared either. An arrow hit him right in the chest.

Ling Chuan didn't expect that this seemingly soft arrow could have such great power. He just felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and then he fell headfirst.

Everyone from the Jiaofangsi had already taken refuge in a nearby house at the beginning of the fight, and Tao Ran was no exception. But when she saw Ling Chuan fall to the ground after being shot by an arrow, she could not help but let out a scream, and rushed over in the hail of arrows, and helped Ling Chuan up.

Liu Jin, who was standing by, had already protected the empress dowager and was retreating to the backyard. Tao Ran also tried his best to grab Ling Chuan's arm and drag him to the backyard.

At this moment, shouts and screams were heard outside the yard, and the continuous rain of arrows was stopped. Chuyi then made some space and flew to Lingchuan.

He looked at the arrow in Lingchuan's body, and the Queen Mother beside him asked, "How is he?"

Chuyi carefully pushed aside Lingchuan's clothes, but saw that a jade pendant on his chest had been shattered by an arrow, with only half of it hanging on a red rope, and the arrow in Lingchuan's chest had just passed the tip of the arrow.

Chuyi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, he's not seriously injured."

As he spoke, he pulled out the arrow, then pinched Lingchuan's philtrum, and Lingchuan was immediately awakened by the pain.

"Oh my god, you died on Chuyi too? Aren't you a master?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Tao Ran, who was crying beside him: "Why are you also..."

Before he finished speaking, Ling Chuan felt something was wrong and looked down at his chest. Chu Yi, who was standing beside him, said unhappily, "You are only slightly injured. You are far from dying."

Ling Chuan finally came to his senses and couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "It's good that he's not dead, it's good that he's not dead, then where's the assassin?"

As he asked, he also heard the shouting and killing outside, and couldn't help but curl his lips: "Hey, my reinforcements are here."

The Queen Mother's lips curled up slightly, but she said nothing.

But Ling Chuan soon heard that something was wrong with the noise outside. Could those people under Lao Cao make such a big noise?

The shouting and screaming outside became louder and louder. The assassin who rushed into the yard realized something was wrong and began to retreat, but was forced back as soon as he retreated.

Immediately afterwards, Lingchuan saw seven or eight soldiers in helmets and armor rushing in, each of them covered in blood and filled with murderous intent.

The leader of them knocked down three or four masked men in succession and rushed directly towards the Queen Mother.

Ling Chuan saw that person even greeted Chu Yi when he passed by Chu Yi.

The next moment, the man knelt on one knee in front of Madam Li and said, "I, the Deputy Commander of the Jinwu Guard, Tang Qi, am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Ling Chuan was stunned. He looked at Madam Li beside him. Madam Li just waved her hand casually: "No need to be polite. Kill the assassin first."

"Yes!" Tang Qi stood up and shouted, "The Queen Mother has ordered to kill the assassin."

Ling Chuan came back to his senses at this moment, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't kill them all, leave a few alive."

Tang Qi turned his head and looked at the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother nodded slightly. Tang Qi shouted again: "The Queen Mother has ordered that the assassins must not be killed and must be captured alive."

"I will obey the Queen Mother's decree!"

There was a majestic and orderly response from outside.

Ling Chuan was no longer paying attention to the fighting outside, and turned to look at the Queen Mother: "You are the Queen Mother, Lu Xi is your daughter, so she is..."

Ling Chuan found it difficult to accept this reality for a while, and he couldn't utter the word "Emperor" for a long time.

Liu Jin said, "How dare you! Now that you know the identity of the Queen Mother, why don't you pay your respects quickly?"

Ling Chuan quickly stood up from Tao Ran's arms, and then bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty..."

Ling Chuan remembered that he had been dismissed from his post, so he changed his name to "Commoner..."

After saying this, Ling Chuan thought it would be better to take the opportunity to do something, so he bravely bowed again and said, "My son-in-law, I meet the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and was about to get angry, but thinking of Ling Chuan's desperate rescue, she softened her tone a little: "You are quite courageous. You already know Xi'er's identity, and you still dare to have such wild ideas?"

"Queen Mother, Lu Xi and I are truly in love..."

Ling Chuan was only halfway through his words when he was glared back at by the Queen Mother. But the next moment he couldn't help but ask, "Is Lu Xi...really the Emperor?"

Just as the Queen Mother was about to speak, there was a commotion outside, followed by a series of greetings.

"I have met Your Majesty."

After a while, Lu Xi appeared at the gate of the yard. Seeing Lu Xi walking over under the protection of a group of Jinwu guards, Ling Chuan felt his throat a little dry.

Lu Xi saluted the Queen Mother. Before she could speak, she saw a large bloodstain on Ling Chuan's chest. Her expression changed. She took a step to Ling Chuan and supported his arm: "Are you injured? How are you?"

Before Ling Chuan could say anything, the Queen Mother beside him became unhappy and coughed twice.

Lu Xi immediately realized that she had lost her composure and quickly bowed to the Queen Mother again: "My daughter is late and has frightened you, so please forgive me."

The Queen Mother said calmly: "You are the Emperor, you must be aware of your status."

When Lu Xi saw that she was still holding Ling Chuan's arm, she wanted to let go but hesitated.

The Queen Mother coughed twice again and looked at Tao Ran on the other side of Lingchuan.

At this time, Ling Chuan was standing with Tao Ran on one side and Lu Xi on the other. The two women were holding one of Ling Chuan's arms. When their eyes met, a spark flew instantly.
