My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.

"There are many generals today, so the front hall should be fine. The guards have all left, so I'd better stay to protect the queen and the little prince!"

"You are too concerned to be confused," Madam Hou supported Concubine Lan in a soothing manner, "Lan'er, the front hall is far away from Yuhua Palace. If the little eunuch runs over here without knowing the rules, I'm afraid the front hall has already been settled. Besides, Princess Anping is alone. Even if she rushes to the front hall, how can she resist hundreds of guards?"

Concubine Lan's frown relaxed a little, "Sister, what I said is because I am too concerned."

The result was just as Su Muxi said, but just as she finished her words, two assassins in black rushed in, one facing Su Muxi, and the other rushed directly towards Concubine Lan and Madam Hou.

Su Muxi slammed the table, and the teacup that had just been put down shook. Su Muxi waved her sleeves, and the teacup flew towards the man in black. Before the man in black got to him, he was splashed with hot tea in his face.

The man in black paused. Su Muxi had already dodged and blocked the sword that was stabbing at Madam Hou. "Hide on the bed."

The Marquis's wife did not panic when she met the assassin. She simply stepped over Concubine Lan and climbed onto the bed. She hugged the little prince in her arms and also pulled Concubine Lan in.

After all, Concubine Lan had just given birth, and was almost dragged into the bed. She frowned, secretly blaming Su Muxi for being too troublesome.

These two men had some skills, but they were still far inferior to Su Muxi. At the beginning, they had to consider the two nobles. After the Marquis's wife cooperated very well, Su Muxi was like a fish in water. He did not even leave any survivors and killed the assassins in just a few moves.

Su Muxi held a sword snatched from the assassin in her hand and stood it upright beside the bed. "Yuhua Palace is not safe either. Mother, please help the imperial concubine get dressed first!"

Hearing the baby crying, Su Muxi reached out to take it. She held the baby in one hand and the sword in the other. Her posture was skillful, as if she had done it countless times. "Wear something thicker. The guards have all gone to the front hall. If the assassin this time was premeditated, there may be many more lurking."

The crying little baby stopped crying in Su Muxi's arms. Su Muxi lowered her eyes and glanced at the baby in her arms. The weak little guy was only two days old, but he actually opened his eyes. The pure and dirty little eyes looked up at the clear spring, reflecting Su Muxi's face.

"What should we do?" Imperial Concubine Lan was wearing a thick dress, and even her head was covered with a cotton towel by the Marquis's wife. This outfit was detrimental to the Imperial Concubine's dignity, but as long as the beauty showed her face, she would look good in anything.

Su Muxi handed the baby to Madam Hou, "Mother, you hold the little prince, and I'll carry the imperial concubine. I think we can hide in the Queen Mother's palace first."

"Okay," the marquis's wife nodded and took the baby and held him.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty," Su Muxi bent down and picked up Concubine Lan on her back.

Lan Fei glared at Su Muxi hatefully, then obediently lay on her back. After all, she was her daughter-in-law, so it was her duty to carry her.

Even though Su Muxi had a premonition, things were bigger than she had imagined. As soon as she left Yuhua Palace, a group of people surrounded her. At first glance, there were dozens of them.

If it was an assassin, it was totally impossible. Su Muxi felt Concubine Lan's body tremble. She thought that this should not be arranged by Concubine Lan. She was afraid that someone used Concubine Lan to plan all this.

"Retreat," Su Muxi shouted coldly, "Hold on tight," and then he let go of her hand, holding the sword in one hand and pushing the marquis's wife with the other, and turned around and walked back quickly.

Su Muxi was tall, and when he walked with big strides, the Marquis's wife had to jog to keep up with him. She was pushed forward by Su Muxi.

As soon as they returned to the courtyard, they were surrounded by people from all directions. It was no longer practical to return to the main hall at this time. Su Muxi put Concubine Lan on the ground and said, "I will protect you for a while and run to the delivery room."

"Your Highness, your life is at stake. You must act quickly." Su Muxi's voice was very low, with a hint of command and also a warning. Before, when Noble Concubine Lan was just making a fuss, she could just ignore it if she didn't cause any trouble. But now, that was not possible.

She could easily protect the person in the delivery room because the doors and windows there were tightly closed and difficult to open with external force. She was afraid that Concubine Lan would do something bad. She was worried about Concubine Lan who was willing to gamble with her own body and her own son.

Protecting two people, no, it should be said three, two weak women and a baby in swaddling clothes, even Su Muxi found it very difficult.

She was not careful and was blocked by Concubine Lan who was half a step behind, leaving a small gap and was stabbed in the arm.

This Imperial Concubine Lan is indeed not a good person. She acted as if she didn’t hear the warning just now.

Su Muxi pinched the person's shoulders and pushed him into the delivery room. "My Lady, there are so many assassins here. Even if one of us disappears, it's normal, right?"

"Protect yourself well." Su Muxi said and closed the door.

Concubine Lan fell to the ground, her shoulder was numb, and her entire arm could not move. This Su Muxi was threatening her. She really thought so. There were many assassins. If a person disappeared, there was no way to hold him accountable. But Su Muxi's words clearly told her that if she could make people disappear, Su Muxi could also make her disappear.

She looked at the Marquis' wife hatefully. She is obviously my daughter-in-law, so why should she only think about you?

Su Muxi had no idea about Concubine Lan’s inner thoughts. She now felt as if she were on the edge of the cliff again, with endless enemies to kill.

Or maybe it was just like guarding Guanyang City, with layers of enemy troops that could never be killed. The cumbersome dress became a burden, so Su Muxi shook her sleeves and wrapped them up, which made it a little more convenient.

Compared to the Yuhua Palace which is isolated and helpless, the number of people in the front hall is much better. Just as Su Muxi said, there are many military generals. If some civil officials and women had not fled in panic during the assassin attack, the situation could have been dealt with more quickly.

While they were cleaning up the mess, the guards from Yuhua Palace arrived.

Xiao Yunjin was the first to react. He was the first to rush out and run towards Yuhua Palace. Then came the emperor. He suddenly let go of the empress whom he was trying to comfort and walked out quickly.

The accident happened at this moment. As soon as the emperor walked out of the front hall, several sharp arrows suddenly attacked him. Even though the emperor reacted quickly, he could only avoid a few dangerous arrows. There was still no way to avoid the last arrow. At this critical moment, Xiao Yunjin came back and blocked the arrow for the emperor.

Xiao Yunjin blocked the arrow with his body. The sharp arrow pierced his shoulder and black blood flowed out of the wound. It was obviously highly poisonous.

At this time, many military generals also rushed to the scene and the situation was quickly under control. All the captured assassins committed suicide by taking poison.

The emperor could no longer care about so many things. He caught Xiao Yunjin's falling body and shouted loudly: "Call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician quickly."

The front hall was still in chaos and no one noticed that He Yuncheng had disappeared long ago.
