Chapter 60 Conspiracy to Assassinate

While they were talking, hundreds of assassins suddenly appeared from all directions and headed straight for their target with confidence!

Baili Yong pushed Ran Qianxi away and took the broadsword with his bare hands. Zuo Qiuhe was shocked. When the emperor is in trouble, the whole world is in chaos.

"Escort!"

Sharp shouts were heard and dozens of guards rushed over, but those killers were still determined to win!

In no time the two sides were engaged in a fight, and the escort was clearly outnumbered and outnumbered.

Suddenly, a long sword stabbed towards Baili Yong. Although he was also wearing black clothes, his attire and temperament were obviously different from those of ordinary killers.

Baili Yong might be able to dodge, but Zuo Qiuhe's daughter insisted on rushing out. Although it was only for a second, Ran Qianxi still saw through her thoughts.

I can't let her succeed, otherwise my favor will be lost, so I opened my arms and rushed over one step faster than her.

"Xi'er!"

There was a panic everywhere, Xie Ying, Liu Xun, Zuo Qiuhe and Baili Yong were all terrified!

Unexpectedly, when the sword was about to stab her, it suddenly stopped.

The atmosphere was tense and he couldn't help thinking. Suddenly, a jade pendant hung from his waist, and Ran Qianxi knew his identity in an instant.

She assassinated the emperor in the street and left him with no intact body. In order to protect Shi Huan and Baili Yong, she closed her eyes and rushed forward, and the long sword pierced into their body!

"Xi'er!"

Baili Yong shouted anxiously, and Shi Huan drew his sword with great pain. Regret, worry, and heartache all filled his brain, and his body instantly became numb and cold.

Baili Yong hugged her in his arms like crazy, and Shi Huan indeed gave the order to retreat.

"withdraw."

After the killer flew away, Xu Yuan rushed over with the imperial guards.

Tan Qianhuan clenched his right fist in the dark, Baili Yong must not be allowed to stay!

"Xi'er!"

Seeing the mess on the ground, Xu Yuanchao, Liu Xun, Xie Ying and Zuo Qiuhe all ran over.

"how's it going?"

Ran Qianxi's face turned pale with pain, luckily she was the one who bumped into him and wasn't stabbed in any vital parts.

"Ha ha…"

She laughed weakly a few times.

"Damn it... I have also sacrificed my life for my country..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she fainted.

"Xi'er!"

"Queen!"

The six grown men were so nervous that they acted as if she was going to be buried.

Zuo Qiu Ruan'er's face on the side was no longer contemplative. Even her own father was so worried about her. She couldn't figure out who was the biological daughter.

Royal Garden

Baili Yong has ordered Liu Xun to investigate the assassination. Ran Qianxi is still unconscious on the bed. The imperial doctors have taken care of her wounds, but he still looks worried.

Zuoqiu Ruan'er pretended to come in with medicine, quietly placed it on the table and began to please Baili Yong.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Majesty is blessed by heaven. You have been here for a whole day. Go and rest first. When Your Majesty wakes up, I will call you."

Baili Yong glanced at the hand on his shoulder and with a sharp look, Zuoqiu Ruan'er immediately took her hand away.

"How dare you come in without my order!"

Zuoqiu Ruan'er immediately knelt on the ground.

"I don't know what I have done wrong, but Your Majesty is so malicious towards me."

"Zuoqiu Zaicheng is an upright and loyal emperor, how could he give birth to such a despicable daughter like you?"

"I know I was wrong!"

When Zuoqiu Ruan'er heard that her father was going to accompany Baili Yong on an inspection tour of Jiangnan, she took the initiative to follow. For Zuoqiu He's sake, Baili Yong agreed. Who would have thought that she would be seduced and flattered all the way.

For an emperor, it was nothing to visit the daughter of a minister, but he was obsessed with Ran Qianxi, and no matter how many temptations she had, she would not climb into his bed.

"If you know you are wrong, get out."

Zuoqiu Ruan'er retreated in a hurry.

At dusk, Ran Qianxi finally woke up. Baili Yong held her hand again and fell asleep on the bed.

"His Majesty…"

This time she only called gently, and Baili Yong immediately sat up straight.

"Xi'er...how are you? Are you still feeling unwell?"

Ran Qianxi smiled faintly, feeling very weak.

"Nothing but pain..."

Baili Yong carefully helped her up and held up the medicine.

"Drink the medicine."

"Ah."

He fed her carefully, and Ran Qianxi felt so touched that her nose was sore.

"Luckily I'm not dead... otherwise I wouldn't be able to see His Majesty."

"What nonsense are you talking about? May Xier live a long life."

Ran Qianxi smiled.

"Don't rush forward if something like this happens next time. I can dodge it."

"I was in a hurry..."

She didn't want to rush forward. Only a fool would think that the emperor would be hurt. However, Zuoqiu Ruan'er was the one pretending to be stupid. If she rushed forward, Ran Qianxi was really worried that she would no longer be in favor, and it would be difficult for her to survive in the palace.

"I have ordered Liu Xun to investigate, and I will definitely give you justice."

Ran Qianxi smiled guiltily.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Wanlitu Inn -

Shi Huan took off his nightgown and touched the jade pendant in a trance. He was always careful in his actions, but he didn't want to be tripped up by love affairs.

"The Third Prince cares a lot about Xier."

Tan Qianhuan put one hand behind his back and walked in quietly and elegantly.

Shi Huan raised his eyes to take a look, then lowered his head to stroke the jade pendant.

"I should care about her."

Tan Qianhuan stared coldly at the prince in front of him. If he didn't need cooperation, he would have torn him into pieces.

"I have already done what I promised you. No matter what happens in Dachang and Xixing, King Jibei, please do not forget our friendship."

Tan Qianhuan smiled faintly.

"I will never forget, but Xi'er is the queen. Your Highness should put aside your thoughts. It will not be good for you, her, me, or our great cause."

Shi Huan smiled faintly.

"King Jibei doesn't know how different she is to me."

How could he not understand that she was also different to him.

"I don't need to understand your feelings, just don't ruin the big thing."

Tan Qianhuan looked forward to leaving, and Shi Huan held the jade pendant tighter.

Winter is approaching, Ran Qianxi has recovered and is catching cats again, with Baili Yong following nervously behind her.

"Xi'er, don't be naughty. Your injury has just healed."

Ran Qianxi immediately stretched out her right hand to cover his mouth.

"Don't shout, I'll catch you soon."

"I'll call someone to help you catch it, you take a rest first."

Originally, the cat was already accustomed to her, but she didn't know how to express her love for it, so she held it in her arms and abused it every day, and even held it tightly even when it wanted to go out for a walk.

The raccoon slave didn't dare to resist and had planned to escape long ago. When he finally got the chance, he would definitely not let her ravage him any further. However, he was caught every time, so he ran away again. Despite his unremitting efforts, he could not escape the clutches of the devil.

"I caught it right away."

Sure enough, she finally caught him and held him in her arms.

"Love is not a prison. It will definitely run away. Why don't I order someone to find you a few who are willing to accompany you?"

People are always like this. They don't cherish what they get easily, but they are unwilling to give up if they can't get it. Even if it makes them feel scared and depressed, they are still very reluctant to give.

"Don't you know this truth? And yet you insist on marrying me."

"Xi'er, how are you the same as a cat?"

"Haha, am I not just the cat you control?"

Baili Yong's eyes darkened. It was truly the case that the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional.

"After going through so much, you still don't want to stay with me?"

Ran Qianxi paused and thought, it was just a joke, how could a king of a country be so pretentious.

"No, I just said it casually, don't think too much about it..."

"You said it so seriously, how can I not think too much about it?"

Ran Qianxi felt numb as she looked at his lonely back.

"Hey? Where are you going? No...listen to me."

Liu Xun worked day and night and screened the evidence many times, and all the evidence pointed to Xixing.
