Cheng Yunmeng’s eyes went dark.

In the past, no matter how the palace maids in this courtyard bullied her and her son, she always adopted the attitude of forbearance and always advised Xing Ran not to conflict with this group of people.

But she never expected that her blind forbearance would make the palace maids in this courtyard so bold!

Her head was dizzy, her body was staggering, and she almost fainted.

But he held on with his strong willpower.

"Xun Tao," Cheng Yunmeng said in a sad voice, "Let Xing Ran go, I will be your hostage!"

Xuntao also raised her lips and smiled.

She knew that she would not be able to escape from the palace alive today, but she could still...

Taking advantage of the moment when her brother Xiangyang was relaxed, she stabbed him into the wound which had not yet fully healed!

"Empress Zhaorong," she couldn't let Ji Xiangyang find out in advance, so she replied coldly, "How can your identity be as noble as that of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince?!"

This is a truth that even Ji Xiangyang understands. If Lan Zhaorong is involved, I'm afraid no one will stop.

The fight in the yard stopped because Jiang Xingran was trapped. Ji Xiangyang looked around with an evil smile and slowly walked towards the direction where Xuntao was.

His efforts in deceiving her were worth it. Even though he had just said such cruel words, this woman still brought hope of life to him.

He curled his lips slightly, ready to give this woman one last sweet treat: "Well done, Xiao Tao, with this prince as a hostage, we can escape this imperial city safely."

Xun Tao smiled softly: "It's what Xiao Tao should do."

She lowered her eyes to hide the hatred surging in them.

Jiang Yingcheng was so angry that he jumped up and down.

[Brother Tong, Brother Tong, what’s going on?!] She kept shouting in her heart, [Didn’t you say that this person is about to die?]

007, who had been offline for a while, finally came back at this time and explained: [Their school of kung fu has a secret method that can restore a seriously injured person to the best condition in a short period of time, but this condition will not last too long.]

Jiang Yingcheng was about to cry: [What should I do now? My seventh brother has been held hostage by that palace maid! ]

007 knew he was in the wrong, so he patiently comforted him: "He can only stay like that for two minutes at most. If you delay a little longer, he will collapse on his own."

Jiang Yingcheng glanced at Aunt Yunmeng, who was already in tears, and Jiang Xingran, who was still pretending to be calm, and suddenly shouted, "My father doesn't want my seventh brother anymore!"

Ji Xiangyang paused, raised his eyebrows and looked back at her.

Jiang Yingcheng was so frightened that he shrank behind Eunuch Changshun. After a moment, he bravely stuck his head out and said crisply, "It's useless for you to take my seventh brother away. My father won't care about him!"

"But I am the eleventh princess that my father loves the most," Jiang Yingcheng swallowed and continued, "If you can kill Xun Tao for me, I will go with you!"

Ji Xiangyang then turned around and opened his eyes to look at this delicate and beautiful little ball.

The little girl had fair skin, her hair was carefully combed into two cute buns, and the material of her clothes was obviously much better than that of the mother and concubine in this courtyard.

The most important thing is that he had seen the eunuch who was protecting her in front of the dog emperor when he was assassinated.

This little guy...

It shouldn't be a lie.

He turned around and looked at Xun Tao who was crying behind him, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You little dumpling is vicious, but Xiao Tao is my most beloved woman, how could I agree to kill her?"

The little ball was surrounded by several secret guards, and it didn't look like they could be captured easily.

Even if she said she would follow me, what fool would really believe it?

But this man obviously cares about the Seventh Prince very much. If he can threaten the Seventh Prince's life, perhaps he can really trick the little guy into his hands.

He turned around with a smile and continued walking in the direction of Xuntao.

Jiang Xingran's gaze slowly moved away from Jiang Yingcheng and turned to the man who was walking towards him.

Jiang Yingcheng's behavior today was indeed abnormal, but the most important thing at the moment was the fatal blow that this assassin was going to bring to him and his mother.

Since this person was found in Pinfangyuan, he could not escape the connection with the mother and son no matter what.

But if they can capture this man themselves and make amends for their mistake, perhaps they can still buy them a chance of survival.

He clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles turning white and transparent from the force.

Xun Tao's actions were nothing to be afraid of. All we had to do next was wait until he relaxed...

Grab the knife and stab it.

Ji Xiangyang quickly walked up to the two of them. He raised his hand and was about to touch Xuntao's shoulder when he heard a voice from behind -

"Father, you are here?!"

It was the voice of the little guy just now.

Ji Xiangyang was stunned.

Emperor Mingze?

How come he is here?

He subconsciously turned around and saw that the secret guards behind him had moved closer when he turned around, but the bright yellow figure did not appear around.

He instantly realized that he had been deceived by the little dumpling. When he looked at her with a frown, before he could open his mouth, he felt a cold pain in the back of his heart.

A sharp weapon was inserted straight into his back.

He thought of the dagger in Xuntao's hand.

At the same time, with a "swoosh" sound, a long arrow shot out from the roof opposite with the force of breaking through the air and pierced directly into his chest.

Ji Xiangyang suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, leaned his sword on the ground to support his body, and looked behind him in disbelief.

Xun Taohong's eyes were full of hatred. She and the seventh prince were holding a dagger and stabbed him in the back.

The group of secret guards he had just fought with came around again, and his secret technique just happened to fail at this moment. Knowing that he could no longer escape from here, he trembled and asked, "Why... why?"

Wasn't it fine just now?

Xun Tao was also pressed to the ground by the secret guards. She did not struggle at all, but just smiled at Ji Xiangyang crazily and happily.

How could she not see that when this man said "Kill me if you want to", he meant it completely from the heart?

How could I not see that this person had never thought of taking me out of the palace?

But they clearly said that they would stay together forever.

Then we'll just have to leave him here too.

Cheng Yunmeng's legs went weak and she was about to fall to the ground when Jiang Xingran and Jiang Yingcheng both ran towards her.

Jiang Yingcheng staggered after being knocked by her, but Jiang Xingran held her steadily after a brief shake.

Cheng Yunmeng's eyes were filled with tears and she was unable to speak for a long time. Jiang Xingran knew what she wanted to ask and reported that she was safe first.

Only then did she feel completely at ease.

Jiang Xingran helped Cheng Yunmeng sit down in the house. After coming out, he looked in the direction where the cold arrow came from.

no one.

Jiang Xingran frowned.

The secret guards sent by Emperor Mingze to protect Jiang Yingcheng have just rushed out. Who could be hiding there and shooting the arrow?

Could it be that someone is secretly monitoring these mother and son?

"Cough cough." A fake cough interrupted his thoughts.

Jiang Xingran raised his head and saw a furtive figure walking out from the corner.

How could it be him?
