The princess only wants to get rich and support her family
Chapter 44: Assassinated on the Way Home
"Don't be afraid, I am fine..."
"You've vomited blood, and you still say you're fine. Do you think I'm blind?"
His voice was warm and persistent, just like the hot tears in her eyes, starting from the skin they touched, and the warmth extended all the way to her heart.
The biting wind was filled with the smell of blood, and everything was filled with the smell of conspiracy. She almost forgot the environment he was in, and her memory stopped at the moment when he said he would stay with her forever.
When she was at a loss, the emperor, who was high above her, was willing to speak, "Doctor Liu, go see King Zhan."
But now, Qi Siliao was holding her hand tightly, his fingertips sliding, as if he wanted to convey something.
He wrote down a word - Qin...
Could it be…
Do you want her to find the Imperial Observatory?
The closer Doctor Liu got, the tighter Qi Siliao gripped her hand.
Suddenly he seemed to understand something, and immediately spoke up to stop Doctor Liu from coming over.
"Qin Tianjian, just now you said there were filthy things in Prince Zhan's mansion, is this true?"
After she said this, Qi Siriao's strength loosened. As she had guessed correctly, he wanted to lead the Imperial Observatory to Prince Zhan's Palace.
The Imperial Observatory bowed respectfully and said, "I dare not lie."
Hu Luanfei gritted his teeth, tears streaming down his face as he tried to speak, "If that's the case, please go to Prince Zhan's mansion and find the filthy things."
"That is exactly what I meant."
However, after the Imperial Observatory withdrew, the sly smile between Concubine Jiang and Jiang Huizhen made Hu Luanfei's eyes immediately turn cold, as sharp as the thorns of a rose.
The so-called filthy things might be a trap set by them. Once they find something wrong in Prince Zhan's Mansion, they will definitely seize this opportunity to sentence everyone in the mansion to death.
She couldn't help but sigh that women who were good at palace fighting were so cruel.
"Your Majesty." She paused.
"What's the matter, Princess Zhan?" His voice was indescribably cold.
Hu Luanfei smiled bitterly, "This matter was caused by the Imperial Concubine finding out she was pregnant. I thought that if I could go with the Imperial Concubine to find out the truth, it would also prevent her from slandering us if something happened to her in the future."
Qi Sili glanced at the imperial concubine, "What do you mean?"
Concubine Jiang was as delicate as a willow in the wind, and said, "It's all up to the emperor."
"Well, today's banquet ends here. I will accompany Concubine Jiang and others to Prince Zhan's Mansion."
He said this, flicked his sleeves and left, followed by a group of eunuchs and palace maids, who walked out of the reception hall.
This cold departure was as if the man lying there vomiting blood was not his biological brother. It was so cold that even she, an outsider, could not stand it.
I once heard a saying that brothers are like a circle, and the circle will be incomplete without one of them.
However, Qi Sili and Qi Siliao could never become a complete circle.
One of them is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, while the other is strong on the outside but gentle on the inside. Their styles of doing things are completely different.
After the emperor and his concubines left, all the civil and military officials came over to help.
However, Qi Siliao was only willing to rely on Hu Luanfei and didn't need anyone else.
The news of bad news came out from Prince Zhan's palace. Within half an incense stick, the news spread all over the capital city like wings.
For a while, everyone, whether they were high-ranking officials or ordinary people, was talking about the accident.
The emperor and his concubine's sedan chair drove through the downtown area with great fanfare towards Prince Zhan's palace.
Hu Luanfei and Qi Siliao's carriages followed slowly behind, and she felt uneasy.
"My Lord, aren't you afraid that they will find other bad things in the palace?"
"Shh, look outside."
Several masked men in black appeared on the buildings on both sides of the street, watching stealthily and investigating their group.
After confirming which car the War King was in, two of the men in black stepped back, took out several iron balls and threw them towards the street.
The iron ball fell to the ground, emitting thick smoke with a pungent smell.
"There's a situation!" shouted the sword-wielding guard following behind, and rushed forward vigilantly to protect the emperor and concubine's carriage.
Seeing that something was wrong, the driver hurriedly stopped the frightened and frantic carriage, and all the men in black flew down and surrounded them in a well-trained manner.
"Oh my god, it's an assassin!"
"Come back!" Qi Siliao reacted quickly, shouted sternly, and pulled her back by the back of her collar.
"call out--"
A long arrow suddenly flew in from the small window, narrowly brushing the tip of Hu Luanfei's nose, and with a "bang", hit the pillar of the frame.
She gasped in shock and fell into Qi Siliao's arms, her pretty little face pale with fear.
If his hands and feet had been slower, or if she had leaned forward a little, the arrow would not have passed by her nose, but would have gone straight through her head.
At the same time, countless arrows streaked across the sky like a rain of arrows. Immediately afterwards, the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of people fleeing in panic were heard, and men in black fell from the sky.
"There is an assassin, protect the emperor!" The sword-carrying guards and the imperial guards swarmed out, and everyone worked together, wielding sharp swords and machetes to shoot down all the flying arrows.
The arrow flew straight towards Qi Siriao like a long eye.
Hu Luanfei suffocated for a moment, and hugged him tightly, using himself as a human shield to keep him safe.
Qi Siliao paused, stiffly smelling the blood in the air, then suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the flying arrow.
"Snap!" The arrow broke into two pieces in his hand.
He calmly turned the tables and held her in his arms, "Take care of yourself. I can handle it."
Dozens of men in black armed with various weapons rushed out from the front, back, left and right, surrounding the emperor and concubine's sedan chair, including the inconspicuous carriage at the back.
In a blink of an eye, all those who could go to the battlefield did so, and those who could not went ran away. Weapons clashed, making clanging sounds mixed with screams and horse neighs, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
After a fierce battle, the streets were covered with bloodstains. The convoy barely arrived at Prince Zhan's Palace. Upon learning that the emperor had been assassinated, the brothers who were still practicing martial arts in the palace drew their swords and went into battle.
Even though the man in black was highly skilled in martial arts, the brothers of the Zhan Wangfu family were no pushovers either. They were all soldiers led by Qi Siriao, and they were eager to protect their master, so they naturally fought to the death.
From beginning to end, Qi Siliao just hid in the carriage and remained indifferent.
All the men in black who came to assassinate him were blocked by his brothers.
As a rain of arrows came, the number of assassins increased. Amid the chaos of swords and sabers, the situation between the two sides remained unchanged.
The car curtain fluttered and an assassin broke in.
Hu Luanfei jumped in shock and looked at him in panic. This look... seemed like something he had seen somewhere before.
"Sorry, we went the wrong way."
He came inexplicably and was leaving inexplicably. The moment he heard the voice, the scene of the assassination in Taohua Village suddenly popped up in Hu Luanfei's mind.
"Is it you?" she said in a deep voice.
The man in black paused and said coldly, "It's not me."
After saying that, he lifted the curtain, flew out and flew among the crowd, waving the sword in his hand, and rescued the brothers in the palace.
Hu Luanfei was puzzled, "Why did he choose to help us?"
