By the time Ning Rushong arrived with the Imperial Guards, it was already too late.

This fire was clearly an attempt to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

Ning Rusong's eyes were fierce, and her face was even more sinister and treacherous. "If you hurt the queen again, I will make sure you can't step out of this palace!"

Every word was extremely horrifying, as if Yama was demanding one's life!

The leading assassin moved the dagger slightly away from He Yue's bleeding neck. He Yue then gasped and coughed, her brows furrowed, and the blood on her neck dripped down onto her lotus-colored collar.

He Yue's eyes dilated slightly, and then she quickly calmed down. This group of assassins obviously had no intention of taking her life, so she had only one use, to threaten Ning Rushong!

She fixed her gaze on Ning Rushong in front of her, her eyes unexpectedly calm.

Ning Rusong was even more panicked than she was. He looked back at her and said soothingly, "Yueyue, don't be afraid!"

"Ha!" The assassin leader sneered, his voice low and hoarse through the mask, "I want the Anbei Iron Cavalry."

The Anbei Iron Cavalry once belonged to Emperor Jingmu. They were fierce soldiers trained by Emperor Jingmu and were extremely loyal to him. After Emperor Jingmu abdicated, they were disbanded by Ning Rushong and distributed to various military camps.

As soon as these words came out, the identity of the leading assassin was revealed. Ning Rusong's eyebrows were cold and cold, "I guess King Rong has been rescued by you in secret."

Emperor Jingmu voluntarily abdicated for Prince Rong, so naturally he would not ignore his life or death now.

Ning Rushong had never concealed the fact that Emperor Jingmu was not dead from He Yue, so He Yue immediately understood that the assassin who held her hostage was the "crazy" Emperor Jingmu!

He Da Cainu and Empress Dowager He had unexpectedly become part of Emperor Jingmu's plan and were clearly plotted against.

"Okay!" Ning Rusong agreed to the condition without hesitation, "I will immediately regroup the Anbei Iron Cavalry, but most of them have been assigned to the Frontier Army. There are no more than 200 Anbei Iron Cavalry left in Yuncheng."

Guard Zhang received the order and left to go to the major military camps to gather the scattered Anbei cavalry.

Ning Rushong looked at the bloodstain on He Yue's neck and clenched his hands tightly under his sleeves!

Emperor Jingmu was not surprised by this answer, and said in a light tone, "It's enough."

The dagger was moved away, and Emperor Jingmu covered He Yue's face with a handkerchief. The figure of Ning Rushong in He Yue's eyes gradually blurred.

The last words He Yue heard were from Emperor Jingmu, "Once the Anbei cavalry and I leave the city, I will return your queen to you."

She thought this statement was ridiculous and fake, and was afraid that the body would be dumped in the wilderness.

…………

My whole body ached, and my throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, so I could only make tiny, broken sounds.

He Yue struggled to open her heavy eyelids, and in front of her was a dilapidated tent ceiling. Where was she?

After being stunned for a moment, He Yue propped herself up on the blanket with her hands. Her hair was not tied up and fell on her thin shoulders. Her clothes were changed into a vermilion dress with a belt around her waist and embellishments of silver ornaments.

There were footsteps outside and the curtain was opened, revealing a girl from a foreign race. She was wearing a blue cloth skirt and silver ornaments on her wrists and head, which swayed as she walked.

"You finally woke up. You've been unconscious for four days!" The foreign girl did not speak the Central Plains dialect, so He Yue could not understand.

She got out of bed barefoot and staggered out of the tent. There were tents of all sizes standing on a vast grassland, and all the people coming and going were foreigners.

After He Yue came out, they stared at her with unrestrained enthusiasm and had a heated discussion in a foreign language.

"That Central Plains woman is awake, and she looks even prettier when she wakes up!"

"She doesn't seem to understand what we're saying. Tsk! She looked at me. My heart was beating fast. She doesn't look like a human at all!"

"The tribal medical elder said she was pregnant, but how come she doesn't look like that at all?"

He Yue was completely out of place here. The people in the tribe had seen women from the Central Plains before, but none of them was as pure and beautiful as her. She was like a flower bud blooming on the top of a snowy mountain, lacking some popularity.
