After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

"Is there still hope of returning to the palace?" asked Shi Wanyue.

"Okay, I've sent the signal. This place is some distance away from the palace, but the defenses in the city are very strict. Even if we can let these killers in, it's impossible to bribe all the guards."

What's more, they also have guards on their side. Although they can't match them in numbers, they can still delay and wait for rescue.

"Okay." Shi Wanyue was beside her, holding her sword in her hand. She did not rush to fight the assassin directly, but tried her best to protect herself when the guards were too busy to deal with her.

Chu An's signal was sent out early in the morning, and when Wen Zhimiao learned that Shi Wanyue had been assassinated, he immediately sent people for support.

Several rounds of flares were fired in Yunjing City, and Shi Wanyue managed to hold on until reinforcements arrived.

But what she didn't expect was that some of these assassins were wrapped in gunpowder, and some were poured with kerosene.

This is truly aimed at killing Shi Wanyue.

When Chu An saw what was on the killer's body, she immediately cut the reins of the horse and pulled Shi Wanyue onto the horse very quickly. She sat behind Shi Wanyue and protected her.

She wanted to send Shi Wanyue away in the moment before these people detonated the gunpowder. The attack just now was too fierce, and now because of the need to ignite the gunpowder, the attack was slightly slowed down.

The other party was buying time, and so were they. Chu An slapped the horse behind him hard with his sword.

The injured horse ran forward madly, and some of the assassins around also reacted. The assassins on the roof shot arrows at Shi Wanyue and Chu An, and the assassins behind them used light skills to chase them.

The other guards immediately blocked the attack from behind, and some even went over to knock down the killers who had gunpowder on them.

Shi Wanyue glanced back hurriedly, and the hand holding the sword unconsciously exerted force. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying to hold back the trembling of anger.

It was all a deception, from the moment they started to guess who was behind the scenes, it was all a deception, and all of this was aimed at her.

Even if she died, given how much Wen Zhimiao valued her, and her status as the daughter of Shi Guanchao, there was no reason for Tianqi and Beirong to stop the war.

Those who opposed Wen Zhimiao within Tianqi now had reasons to criticize her. They didn't necessarily have to dethrone Wen Zhimiao, but it was enough as long as they could gain benefits for themselves.

Shi Wanyue swung her sword to cut off the oncoming arrows. The gunpowder behind her could explode at any time, and she might not be able to escape alive today.

But even if there is only a glimmer of hope, Shi Wanyue will never give up, otherwise it would be a betrayal of the guards who fought desperately to protect her.

Even with everyone's best efforts to protect her, Shi Wanyue was still inevitably hit by an arrow.

Shi Wanyue didn't care about her own injuries. She had already seen the reinforcements coming and couldn't give up.

"I'm sorry." Chu An looked at the arrow on her body and immediately cut off the tail of the arrow with a sword.

The moment the explosion was heard behind them, Chu An pressed Shi Wanyue's body down and protected her tightly.

The explosion made the horse even more panicked, and it ran around completely out of control.

The reinforcements arrived very quickly. If those assassins had not come with the intention of committing suicide, Shi Wanyue could have been rescued successfully.

But there are no ifs in this world.

The frightened and injured horse rushed madly into the crowd, and the injured Shi Wanyue and Chu An were thrown off the horse.

The remaining assassins wanted to continue the pursuit, but fortunately the guards and imperial guards had arrived.

After much thought, Wen Zhimiao was still worried and rushed over in person. When he saw Shi Wanyue and Chu An lying on the ground, he suppressed his uneasiness and ordered people to hunt down the killers.

Wen Zhimiao went over and picked up Shi Wanyue, and ordered someone to take Chu An to the Imperial Hospital.

Qi Guyu, who was at the other end of the street, saw the flames rising into the sky and her heart sank. Yesterday, her people suddenly received news that someone had entered Yunjing City with gunpowder and intended to assassinate several ministers of Tianqi.

The Supervisory Council has confirmed this matter, and many people were indeed stopped tonight. However, she had calculated a lot and did not expect that the person behind the scenes would have Shi Wanyue as his final target.

After other assassination plans failed, he gathered all the remaining manpower to attack Shi Wanyue, as if it was a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Qi Guyu immediately ordered his subordinates to continue hunting down the killer and eliminate all unstable factors in Yunjing City.

She went to the master's residence first, and happened to meet Master Guanchao on her way.

Shi Guanchao hadn't been this angry for a long time. Qi Guyu looked at her and said softly, "I'm sorry."

Shi Guanchao, suppressing his anger, looked at her, and finally walked over, held her hand, and said nothing. He just pulled her onto the horse and rode straight to the palace.

Qi Guyu was looking at Shi Guanchao from behind. At this moment, Shi Guanchao was like a Shura walking out of hell, with gloomy eyes and murderous intent.

She rode all the way to the palace gate, and the guards at the gate did not stop her. Wen Zhimiao had instructed that if the prime minister entered the palace, she must not be stopped no matter how she came.

Shi Guanchao walked all the way to the outside of Zhangtai Palace. Lu Jiaoyue and several imperial doctors were busy running around, while Wen Mengyang was in charge of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Wen Zhimiao looked at Shi Wanyue lying unconscious on the bed and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

When Wen Zhimiao heard Xiangnan say that Master Guanchao was coming, he came to his senses and walked out of the room.

Shi Guanchao and Qi Guyu were both waiting outside. Even though they were angry, when they saw Wen Zhimiao, Shi Guanchao still respectfully performed the etiquette of a monarch and his subject.

Wen Zhimiao helped her up: "Teacher, there's no need to be so polite."

"Wanyue is still unconscious. Chu An protected her from being injured by the explosion, but she was hit by an arrow. The arrow was poisonous, and her injury was aggravated by falling off her horse. Dean Lu is treating her." Wen Zhimiao briefly explained Shi Wanyue's current situation to Shi Guanchao.

"I beg Your Majesty to do your best to save Wanyue." Shi Guanchao bowed to Wen Zhimiao again.

Wen Zhimiao held her hand and said, "I would know how to do it even if the teacher didn't tell me."

Qi Guyu remained silent behind Shi Guanchao. Wen Zhimiao looked at her and immediately gave an order: "The Supervisory Council must guard the imperial city well and not let any ministers get into trouble. Order the city defense forces to provide full assistance."

"In addition, the mastermind behind this assassination must be found out. All departments must fully cooperate with the Supervisory Council in the investigation. I want a result within ten days. If it cannot be done, the Supervisory Council should be replaced." Wen Zhimiao said in a deep voice.

"I obey your command." Qi Guyu took a step back and kowtowed.

Such a serious accident happened tonight, and it is not just the Supervisory Council that is responsible. The consequences are bound to be widespread. Wen Zhimiao glanced at Shi Wanyue who was still lying inside, gritted his teeth and said to Shi Guanchao: "Teacher, go in and take a look. I have something else to do. I will come back later."

Although he said so, Wen Zhimiao did not leave the bedroom, but just checked all the messages sent from outside.

She didn't dare to go too far away.
