I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Chapter 156: A narrow victory with a surprising move and being held hostage

Finally, it was the fifth day of detoxification. Still following the previous order, after Li Rui drank the medicine, Doctor Gao gave him acupuncture.

Half an hour after the acupuncture, it is time to take a final medicinal bath. After four days of treatment, most of the toxins have been eliminated.

These days, Li Rui not only feels that his body has become a lot lighter, but even his skin has become smoother.

Impurities in the body were also discharged along with the toxins. He tried to circulate his internal energy and found that his kung fu seemed to show signs of breakthrough.

These miraculous medicines are indeed rare treasures from heaven and earth. After this detoxification, his physical fitness has become better and his martial arts have improved a lot.

It was a blessing in disguise. Li Rui entered the bathtub skillfully. Now the pain seemed to be gradually easing, indicating that there were very few toxins in the body.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a sword shadow outside shouting: "There is an assassin!"

Li Rui's face darkened. How dare they come to Prince Rui's mansion in broad daylight to assassinate him? These people were really anxious.

But the detoxification matter has been kept secret, how could it have been discovered by those people?

Doctor Gao also heard the sound of Jianying and became nervous. He paced back and forth, muttering to himself.

"What should I do? Today is the last day, and nothing can go wrong, otherwise all my efforts will be wasted!"

Li Rui said calmly: "Old Gao, sit down! Shut up! My guards and secret guards are guarding outside, nothing will happen."

Doctor Gao realized that he had lost his composure and sat aside awkwardly. He was still very nervous because he could hear the sound of fighting outside.

There are some ordinary guards in the palace, who are generally responsible for patrolling and guarding, and they account for the majority of the guards.

Only around Li Rui's Lingfeng Pavilion are there Li Rui's guards. There are usually ten secret guards guarding in the dark, which can be considered as a tight security.

But who knew that a large number of assassins would come today, at least hundreds of people, and those people seemed to know Li Rui's exact location.

They rushed to Lingfeng Pavilion from all directions. The sword shadows and sword edges did not dare to leave too far and stayed closely guarding Lingfeng Pavilion.

They knew that the prince was taking his final medicinal bath, which had to last for an hour, and before that they had to guard the place tightly and not let any enemy in.

However, the Lingfeng Pavilion's guards and secret guards were no more than fifty people. Suddenly facing so many desperate criminals, the pressure of defense was enormous.

Seeing that the group of assassins were about to attack the gate of Lingfeng Pavilion, Jianying and Jianfeng had no choice but to join the battle.

Doctor Gao quickly locked the door and pushed the chaise longue behind it.

If you can block it, then do it.

An Muxi calculated the time and knew that Li Rui was now taking a medicinal bath. Suddenly, she heard a noisy fighting sound coming from the front yard.

She thought she had heard it wrongly. The Prince Rui's Mansion had always been very safe, so how could there be sounds of fighting?

Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue also became nervous.

"Master, I'll go see what's going on outside. Don't go out yet." Qiu Shuang said hurriedly.

An Muxi knew that she was quite skilled, so she still reminded her: "Come back quickly after you finish watching. It sounds like there are a lot of people here, including the prince's guards. Don't get involved."

"Okay, I got it!" Qiu Shuang hurried away.

The fighting was so loud that An Muxi even wondered who had brought thousands of troops into the Rui Palace? They were trying to flatten this place.

After a while, Qiu Shuang came back, her face was pale.

"Master, a large group of assassins have come to the front yard, at least hundreds of them. What should we do? The guards of the mansion are all in front, fighting fiercely."

An Muxi was also shocked and asked quickly: "What's the situation now? Can we win?"

Qiu Shuang shook her head worriedly: "We are too few in number, and we are being beaten and have already reached the door of the prince's bedroom!"

An Muxi was also anxious. Li Rui's poison was about to be cured, so how could such a thing happen on the last day!

She immediately thought of poisoning him! She quickly rummaged through the boxes and took out the several packets of poison she had made earlier.

"This is paralyzing poison. You, Qiuyue, Gu Feng and Gu Lei each take a packet and stand in the upwind direction to scatter it.

This poison can paralyze a person for half a quarter of an hour. These are the antidote pills. Each of you take one. After you spread the poison, go give one to the palace guards."

Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue showed surprise on their faces. This is great, the prince is saved!

Gu Feng and Gu Lei were also called out to help.

Several people took an antidote pill in advance, and then each of them took a packet of paralyzing poison and a bottle of antidote pills and went out.

Qiu Shuang also warned: "Master, don't go over there. The swords and knives over there are blind. We will definitely complete the mission."

An Muxi nodded and agreed quickly: "I know, go quickly, don't waste time."

After they left, An Muxi still felt uneasy. Such a grand scene was rare, and she wanted to see how effective her poison was.

In the end, she took the step towards her own death, but before leaving, she took a detoxification pill.

Along the way, she saw that the servants in the yard seemed to be hiding in fear, and there was no one to be seen outside. When she walked to the front yard, she saw that the scene in front of her was like a battlefield.

There were many corpses in black clothes on the ground, as well as the corpses of the palace guards.

Although she was not afraid of death, it was the first time she saw so many people dead. There was a smell of blood in the air.

She endured the discomfort and quietly approached, walked behind a big tree, and looked forward. The scope of the fight had been reduced a lot.

They all gathered in front of Li Rui's bedroom door.

What surprised An Muxi was that she actually saw the figure of Eunuch De. Usually, Eunuch De was the housekeeper of the palace, managing some affairs of the outer courtyard. The affairs of the women in the inner courtyard were taken care of by Madam Zhao.

Therefore, An Muxi didn't have much contact with Eunuch De, and only knew that he was a very kind old eunuch. He was the old man that Concubine Rong left to Li Rui.

I didn't expect that this old eunuch's martial arts skills were so strong that he beat a group of people alone. Did he practice the Sunflower Manual?

But after all, he is old, and two fists are no match for four hands, so he gradually showed signs of decline.

Finally, after Qiu Shuang and the others spread those packets of paralyzing poison, most of the people on the field were infected.

Several people hurriedly fed the palace guards with detoxification pills.

Then they joined the battle together, and this time it was almost a one-sided massacre!

Those assassins suddenly lost their ability to move, and the situation on the field reversed in an instant.

In the time it took to stick up an incense stick, all the black-clad warriors on the field were killed.

An Muxi finally breathed a sigh of relief. That was great. The crisis was over. Li Rui would definitely be able to detoxify successfully today.

Before she showed up, she felt something cold on her neck.

"Mrs. An, I'm sorry!"

An Muxi lowered her eyes and saw a sword on her neck. She was a little speechless. She didn't notice when someone came behind her.

This meant that this person also had martial arts skills. Seeing that the battle had already ended, she had caused this trouble again. She felt a little sorry for Li Rui.

"Brother, what do you want to do by holding me hostage?"

The man sneered: "Everyone in the Rui Palace knows that the prince's favorite woman is you. Come on, accompany me to find the prince."

Jianying and Jianfeng were just thanking Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue for their divine help. Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue said embarrassedly, "This is all thanks to our master~~ You bastards! Let our master go!"

Jianying was startled and thought Qiu Shuang and the others were crazy. They were just talking to each other, but they started scolding their master.

Following their line of sight, they finally saw a man dressed as a servant in the palace, walking towards them holding An Muxi hostage with a sword.
