The crazy daily life of the mistress

However, the assassins did not give up. With murderous intent flashing in their eyes, they held on to Ling'er and Lu Yi tightly and continued to launch a fierce attack. The flashes of swords and sabers crossed, as if they wanted to tear them apart.

At this critical moment, Ling'er made a prompt decision. She looked at Lu Yi with a firm gaze, signaling her to take the leader of the men in black away from the scene first, while she would be responsible for holding back the assassins.

"Hurry up!" Ling'er urged Lu Yi anxiously, with determination in her voice.

Lu Yi nodded, hugged the leader of the men in black tightly, performed Qinggong, and quickly left the scene. Her figure disappeared into the night like a light bird.

Ling'er looked at Lu Yi's receding back and prayed in her heart: "I hope she can bring the leader of the men in black back to the palace safely..."

At this time, Ling'er was surrounded, but she was not afraid. She brandished the dagger in her hand, each sword contained a sharp sword energy, and fought a desperate battle with the assassins.

Ling'er was agile and skilled in swordsmanship. Although she was outnumbered, she was not at a disadvantage. However, the continuous influx of assassins and the large number of them gradually made her feel exhausted. Sweat soaked her clothes and her breathing became rapid.

At this moment, Ling'er discovered a secret door not far away. She came up with an idea and fought and retreated at the same time, leading the assassin to the secret door.

After entering the secret door, Ling'er triggered the mechanism, and a large number of arrows shot at the assassins. The assassins were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.

Ling'er took the opportunity to escape and met up with Lu Yi. They continued to move forward and finally successfully handed the leader of the men in black to the emperor.

The emperor was very pleased and gave high praise to Ling'er and Lu Yi's performance, and rewarded them with many precious treasures. Not only that, the emperor also gave Ling'er and Lu Yi higher official positions to show his trust and appreciation for them.

However, Ling'er and Lu Yi did not become complacent because of these rewards and promotions. On the contrary, they knew the cruelty and complexity of the palace struggle and understood that they needed to work hard to gain a foothold.

Just as Ling'er and Lu Yi were preparing to accept a new challenge, another bizarre murder occurred in the palace. The deceased was a favored concubine, and her body was found in her own bedroom, with the cause of death unknown. The emperor took this matter very seriously and ordered Ling'er and Lu Yi to investigate the case.

After receiving the order, Ling'er and Lu Yi immediately went to the crime scene to investigate. They carefully observed the surrounding environment, not missing any details. After a search, they finally found some strange traces at the crime scene, which seemed to be closely related to the case.

As the investigation deepened, Ling'er and Lu Yi gradually discovered some shocking secrets. It turned out that this murder was not a simple accident, but a carefully planned conspiracy. This conspiracy involved many dignitaries in the palace. They would do anything to fight for power, even at the cost of others' lives.

Faced with such a situation, Ling'er and Lu Yi were extremely shocked. But they did not back down, but were determined to uncover the truth of the conspiracy and bring the murderer to justice. So they began to visit everywhere, collect evidence, and step by step approach the core of the incident.

In the process, Ling'er and Lu Yi encountered many obstacles, but they never gave up. With their wisdom and courage, they finally found the key evidence and revealed the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes.
