Yelu Wuyun quickly helped her up and said in surprise.

"Don't bow to me. I can't bear it."

This was the first time that Li Ji was so interested in a woman that he brought her to the private room of Tianxiang Tower, his mind completely occupied by her.

It is very likely that she will be the queen in the future.

As for whether there is a queen in the palace now, and who the queen is, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that Li Ji likes Bu Ji.

Li Ji was not the previous emperor. He had actually led troops to fight in wars. The old ministers of the previous dynasty, such as the Lin family, the Cui family, and the Fucha family, were unable to do anything to him.

When Bu Ji stood up, he caught a glimpse of a small boat floating under the bridge. He couldn't see whether there was a boatman or not, and it seemed as if there was no one on it.

Who would go boating at this hour?

Yelu Wuyun also looked at her with relief and frowned slightly. Doesn’t this person know that boats cannot be sailed on the Wuwang Sea?

When the boat approached the shore, it suddenly caught fire, and then the grass and trees on the shore were all dyed the color of fire.

Bu Ji and Yelu Wuyun retreated together. When they looked back, they saw men in black falling from the sky. Each of them was holding a sharp blade, had his face masked, and was coming at them aggressively.

The cold light of the sword and the blazing fire complemented each other, and the entire lake was shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere.

"Hide behind me!"

Yelu Wuyun had a long sword in his hand and protected Bu Ji tightly.

"Can you do it? There are too many of them."

A group of ferocious black-clothed and masked men, holding sharp swords, descended from the sky and hacked and killed everyone on the shore. The throats of those who were hit by the sword were cut, and a stream of bright red blood spurted out like a fountain, splashing the faces of the people next to them.

Yelu Wuyun's sword was also stained with blood. Anyone who got close to him would die under his sword.

But other people on the shore were not so lucky. The group of men in black seemed to be planning a massacre. They killed everyone they saw, no matter if they were old or young, and blood flowed like a river.

Bu Ji started crying. She was very scared but didn't know how to stop them.

Yelu Wuyun protected Bu Ji and moved to a safe place while speaking loudly.

"They are invincible. I will take you to a safe place."

Bu Ji was so frightened that he lost his soul and said in panic.

"Then what do they do?"

She pointed at an ordinary citizen, but before her hand dropped, the man was killed by the man in black.

She looked at the scene in front of her tremblingly. Blood was flowing like a river. It was too horrible.

Bu Ji had never seen such a murder scene, even in the palace, such a situation had never happened.

"I can't control them. The soldiers from the city will be here soon."

Yelu Wuyun can only protect Bu Ji alone, and he can't protect more than that.

Bu Ji picked up a kitchen knife from the ground, held it in front of him, and said to Yelu Wuyun.

"There's a pregnant lady there, go save her, don't worry about me."

"I have a knife, I can kill people."

Yelu Wuyun looked in the direction of her finger and saw a pregnant woman trapped next to a haystack, squatting on the ground with a look of pain on her face.

He grabbed Bu Ji's wrist and pulled her behind a big tree.

"wait for me here."

After saying that, he quickly ran towards the weak pregnant woman.

Bu Ji's sharp eyes were staring coldly ahead. This group of men in black seemed to have other purposes. They seemed to be looking for someone.

When massacring people in the streets, they would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one go.

They dare to be so presumptuous in the capital city. They must have no intention of leaving alive. They are a group of deadpools.

The person behind the scenes who can mobilize this group of people must be very powerful.

Their target would not be ordinary people. They would most likely be targeting her or Yelu Wuyun.

One of them is a noble and the other is a prince, and both of them are related to the royal family.

No matter who dies, it will cause quite a stir.

Suddenly, Yelu Wuyun stood in the distance and shouted at her.

"careful!"

Hearing the sound, Bu Ji subconsciously dodged, but someone grabbed his neck from behind, lifted him up, jumped into the air, and flew onto the roof.

She suddenly felt as if she was riding on clouds.

When Yelu Wuyun saw Bu Ji being abducted, he shouted in fear.

"Noble Bu!"

On the roof, the moon was big and round, and a man in black, carrying a woman, flew by.

Bu Ji was being carried by someone, constantly shaking, feeling dizzy, and asked incoherently.

"You don't want my life?"

The man in black looked over with cold eyes and shouted harshly.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you say one more word, I will kill you right now."

Bu Ji gritted his teeth, trying hard not to let his voice tremble, and asked in a low voice.

"Even if you want to kill me, let me die knowingly."

"I can't escape anyway. Tell me who your master is."

How could the man in black believe her and tell her who hired the killer?

"Don't waste your time."

"My master is not something a mere noble like you can know."

Bu Ji was stunned. The other party even knew her position, so he must be someone in the palace.

"Is it Cui Lihua?"

She called out the name directly, but the man in black didn't look surprised at all, and even his expression didn't change. It was obvious that he didn't know Cui Lihua.

If not Cui Lihua, then who else?

Bu Ji couldn't believe it. Among the people in the palace, Cui Lihua was the only one who wanted to kill her. The empress dowager would not do such a despicable thing. Every time she wanted to punish her, she had a reason and a basis.

Bu Ji caught a glimpse of a strange pattern on the clothes at his waist. Her eyes froze, and suddenly, she spoke in a cold voice.

"Are you from King Xing's side?"

The Queen Mother's favorite son was the adopted third prince. It was rumored that Prince Xing had an army in his own fiefdom, and the army's flag was a tiger totem.

The clothes of the man in black were also embroidered with a tiger totem.

She was just guessing. The man in black paused, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"you......"

Bu Ji was shocked. She actually guessed right that the person who wanted to kill her was Prince Xing.

But she didn't even know what Prince Xing looked like, so why did Prince Xing want to take her life?

Bu Ji said quickly.

"Don't rush to kill me. There must be a misunderstanding. Why don't you take me to see King Xing? I can explain everything to him."

Before he could finish his words, Bu Ji pulled out the hairpin on her head and pressed it deeply against the throat of the man in black. The tip of the hairpin pierced into the skin, drawing a trace of blood.

The man in black was stunned, and his cold and eerie aura was terrifying.

He was so careless that he fell into her trap.

"How dare you..."

Bu Ji looked indifferent and threatened in a cold voice.

"Don't move. My hairpin doesn't have eyes."
