The stand-in didn't take it seriously for three years, and the minister was furious when they b

Flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Half of the sword handle almost brushed her nose and stopped in front of her. Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

A red light flashed, and a pool of blood flew towards her face. Mu Lianzhi shuddered and her long eyelashes trembled. What she saw was the man lowering his head in fear and disbelief.

Following his gaze, she also saw her hand inserted into the man's heart.

After seeing the situation clearly, Mu Lianzhi suddenly came back to her senses and was so scared that her face turned pale and her body couldn't help shaking. She didn't know whether she was frightened by the scene of death just now or by her own brutal scene.

My heart was beating like a drum, and my brain went blank in an instant.

Then, there was another bang, and a slight force of gravity pressed him down to the side. Mu Lianzhi was like a fish thrown onto the shore, lying on his back on the ground, gasping for breath.

She raised her hand and was about to wipe off the uncomfortable stickiness on her face when several dark shadows flashed through the air. Suddenly, she shuddered as if she were pricked by a needle.

Beitang Yi is here.

It’s bad, it’s not going to be exposed, right?

When she paused to wipe her face, she saw the smooth silk glove without any blood stain on her wrist and the blood and flesh splattered all over her body. The strong smell of blood rushed into her nostrils, and her internal organs began to churn.

The sword flashed, and she saw bloody figures falling one by one in her sight.

The hellish scene struck her soul directly. When she came to her senses, her hands and feet felt weak and endless fear surged into her heart. In an instant, she couldn't even push away the force pressing on her legs, and couldn't even get up.

How to do?

How could she get around all this?

In a panic, she didn't know what to think, and she fumbled for the gloves she had taken off and put them back into the gourd bag she was carrying.

"Zhizhi, Zhizhi, where are you?"

In a trance, he saw a familiar figure walking towards him. His mind was in a mess. The moment he opened his mouth, Mu Lianzhi didn't know what to think. He gritted his teeth and slammed his head against the man's arm and the handle of the knife, knocking himself unconscious.

Her eyes blurred, and before she fainted, she saw Beitang Yi throwing away his sword and running towards her:

"Zhizhi."

Beitang Yi pushed the man in black aside and looked at the bloody holes on his body and Mu Lianzhi all over his body and face. His mind went blank and he trembled all over.

He fell to his knees with a plop and picked up the woman on the ground. Tears blurred his eyes. For a long time, Beitang Yi held her tightly, caressing her face and body as if in a dream:

"Zhizhi, Zhi~zhi, don't..."

"Miss!"

Leng Yun, Leng Yu and Ying Liu rushed over one after another and were also startled by the scene before them. The first one to come back to his senses was Ying Liu. She looked around and squatted down. She felt Mu Lianzhi's pulse:

"Sir, the young lady's pulse is stable. She must have just fainted."

This sentence was like a bolt of lightning that instantly woke Beitang Yi up. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his sight finally focused on the woman in his arms.

He stroked her clothes with his small hand and checked, seeing that her body was indeed covered in blood. He then gently wiped her face and checked her head. Then Beitang Yi remembered something and pinched her philtrum hard.

"Hmm~"

Mu Lianzhi slowly opened her eyes with a moan, and instinctively raised her hand to touch the back of her head which was a little painful.

"I'm so glad you're alive and well."

Holding her tightly, Beitang Yi kissed her forehead again and again, tears falling down again.

"Zhizhi, you scared me to death, why are you so stupid?"

She doesn't know any martial arts, so why would she try to show off outside instead of hiding?

Just now he saw the three people who came to protect her fighting outside, and he was relieved that he didn't see her. But when he heard that it was her who was giving orders outside and had the door sealed, he was scared to death.

I didn't expect to come here again——

Fortunately, God bless me.

She had never been so scared before. The strength in her hands kept increasing. Beitang Yi couldn't calm down for a long time. He just hugged her, wishing he could rub her into his bones.

On the other hand, with red eyes, Leng Yun and Leng Yu were completely unable to help, and in the end they just stared at each other.

The one who was the most rational and could roll his eyes was Yingliu.

The three of them were actually in a rather disheveled state. Although they were wearing maids' clothes that were convenient for movement, they were stained with blood and were obviously torn, which showed how brutal the battle had just been.

Everyone was obviously in a mess, but for some reason, everyone felt calmer than ever before. They even raised the corners of their lips at the same time when their eyes met.

Stroking Beitang Yi's face with his backhand, feeling the real warmth, Mu Lianzhi's eyes were filled with joy and relief of "surviving the disaster".

Similarly, feeling her fresh vitality, Beitang Yi seemed to come back to life, and his rationality came back. He rubbed her nose and carefully picked her up.

……

At this moment, with a creaking sound, the heavy door of the East Palace opened, and a group of ladies supported each other and walked out in an orderly manner.

When they saw the scene in the yard, some people screamed in fear, and some collapsed to the ground in fear, but everyone looked at Beitang Yi and Mu Lianzhi with different eyes than before.

The first to come over were the old lady from General Dingyuan's mansion and Yu Miaoxin. They strode over, unable to hide the fear in their eyes:

"Mrs. Beitang?"

The old lady cried out in surprise, then she remembered something and bowed deeply to the two of them.

"Ah, old lady, you must not do that. This junior cannot bear it."

Beitang Yi had no hands to stop him, so he could only speak out. Mu Lianzhi had just killed the enemy in one breath. Now that she had come to her senses, she was not only scared but also had weak legs. She had no strength to get down. She could only pull Beitang Yi's clothes as a gesture and look at the stone table on the side.

Turning around, Beitang Yi carried her over and put her directly on the table.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a group of women coming over, and several of them knelt down in public. This frightened him greatly, and he raised his hand to help them, but then he felt it was inappropriate:

"What does Madam Zhao mean? I cannot bear this, cold clouds and cold rain—"

Just as the two maids were about to help her, the woman in the gorgeous pink shirt waved her hand and slapped her in public:

"Master Beitang, Madam Beitang, this is what I owe you. It was my short-sightedness that almost hurt others and myself. Today, I am grateful to Madam Beitang for saving my life."

The few people who couldn't hold on were the ones who had quarreled with her before. Obviously, they were all very scared, and Mu Lianzhi could see that some of them had children at home.

"Ignorance is not a crime. Besides, I just realized something was wrong and didn't explain it clearly. It's normal for Madam to have doubts. My tone is not good either. You are really embarrassing us. I hope everyone is fine."

After Mu Lianzhi finished speaking, this time it was Yu Miaoxin who brought the maids to help the others up.
