Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Seeing Emperor Hui's crazy look, He Tongguang was afraid that he would really kill the prince, so he hurried forward and grabbed Emperor Hui's arm, stopping him from continuing to swing his sword, and rescued the prince from him.

"Your Majesty! The most urgent task is to save the imperial concubine and her unborn child." He Tongguang naturally didn't care about the life or death of Imperial Concubine Cen, but now the lives of everyone in the palace were in jeopardy, and Emperor Hui was still unable to see the current situation clearly, and was only concerned with venting his anger for Imperial Concubine Cen. He Tongguang began to doubt whether the person in front of him was really the Fifth Prince who had been hiding his talents and was deep-minded all those years ago.

After He Tongguang's reminder, Emperor Hui finally pulled himself out of his frenzy. He no longer cared about the crown prince, and hugged Concubine Cen again, saying to the queen in a stern voice: "Go and get the imperial physician!"

The queen was terrified when she saw the prince covered in blood and wondering whether he was dead or alive. She trembled and asked someone to call for the imperial physician, but no one around her took any action. The man dressed as a eunuch behind her frowned and said in a cold voice, "Queen, the palace gates have been locked. If you call for the imperial physician, I'm afraid the matter of forcing the emperor to abdicate will be revealed."

The queen turned around in astonishment and slapped the person behind her in the face. Her eyes widened as she said sternly, "Ban Que! What do you mean? The prince is seriously injured now. If anything happens to him, who will you support to succeed him?"

The man whom the queen called Ban Que was thin and had a sinister face. He did not get angry when she slapped his face. Instead, he licked the corner of his cracked mouth and stared at the queen with a pair of gloomy eyes. The queen glared back at him fearlessly. After a long while, Ban Que finally gave in and waved his hand to call for the imperial physician.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they would be safe for the next period of time. However, before they could completely relax, they heard a commotion outside the palace in just half a cup of tea. The soldier who was sent to fetch the imperial physician suddenly stumbled in, shouting, "Empress! Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened! The palace gate has been breached, and the prince of the Duke of Anguo and General Huan have brought their men in to charge us!"

"What!" the Queen screamed, looking angrily at Ban Que beside her, "Didn't you say that the palace was surrounded like an iron barrel, and it was foolproof? How could the city gate be breached so easily!"

Ban Que gnashed his teeth and said, "Forcing the emperor to abdicate has always been a matter of quick action. If the queen and the prince hadn't been so timid, we would have cut off the head of that evil concubine and forced the emperor to write a letter of abdication!"

"What should we do now?" The Queen didn't bother to argue with him, "The prince is still in their hands."

"The only solution now is..." Ban Que looked around and exchanged a glance with another warrior dressed as a eunuch beside him. Then the two of them suddenly jumped up, one of them pounced in the direction of Emperor Hui, and the other pounced in the direction of Lin Xi and the others.

He Tongguang was startled and no longer cared about the prince in his hand. He quickly swung his sword, trying to block the man's attack. However, this was just a tactic of the man to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. Seeing that He Tongguang let go of the prince, he quickly changed direction and threw three hidden weapons towards Emperor Hui.

The hidden weapons hit the sword, making two crisp sounds of "clang!" and "clang!". He Tongguang only had time to block two of them, and the last one went straight towards Emperor Hui. Emperor Hui could have avoided it, but if he did, Concubine Cen in his arms would definitely be hit by the hidden weapon. So he could only hold Concubine Cen and step back half a step. With a wave of his wide sleeves, the hidden weapon was deflected and fell to the ground by the back of his hand.

Meanwhile, Lin Xi had just asked Xie and the other two to change into the attire of female palace maids and hide among the crowd when she heard a sound of breaking air behind her. Her hair stood on end immediately and she quickly pulled out the soft sword that had been hidden at her waist and swung it backwards without even looking.

"Ugh!" A painful cry came from behind him.

Lin Xi quickly drew back the sword, turned around and looked behind him, only to see a man in inner court clothes one step away, covering his arm with his hand and staring at him fiercely.

What a close call! Fortunately, I have experienced so many small worlds and have a natural intuition about danger. Otherwise, judging from the aura of this man, if I had been caught by him just now, I would have been lucky to have lost some arms and legs.

The man did not seem to have expected that a seemingly weak young noble lady would carry a soft sword with her. He was not careful and was injured by her. He originally just wanted to capture her to threaten the Duke of Anguo, but now he was injured by her. He could not help but become more vicious and wanted to capture Lin Xi and torture her to death.

Lin Xi held the soft sword in her hand and stared at the man with a vigilant look on her face. She knew that he probably wanted to capture Xie to threaten He Tongguang, but Xie was now hidden in the crowd by her, so he changed his target and wanted to catch her. Seeing the bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes, Lin Xi's heart was alarmed. The hand holding the hilt of the sword was slightly sweating. She stared at the man without blinking, fearing that he would suddenly move again.

Seeing Lin Xiru's expression of facing a great enemy, the man curled up a malicious smile at the corner of his lips, quickly glanced around, and suddenly reached out and grabbed a palace maid who was shivering under the table, and threw her towards Lin Xi amid her screams.

Lin Xi held the sword in one hand and stared at the man intently. She saw him throw a living person towards the tip of her sword in an instant. Although she knew it was a trap, seeing that the palace maid was about to hit the sharp sword and bleed on the spot, she slightly changed direction, grabbed the palace maid's clothes and threw the person aside.

The man was waiting for this moment. When he saw Lin Xi's action, his eyes narrowed, and he quickly jumped over the table and kicked Lin Xi in the wrist.

Lin Xi only felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and her hand suddenly lost strength, and she could no longer hold the sword. She thought to herself that something was wrong and quickly stepped back, trying to avoid the man's attack.

But the man was obviously an expert, and his movements were much faster than Lin Xi's. He came in front of Lin Xi in a breath, grabbed Lin Xi's arm with one hand, turned around and pulled the person into his arms, and his eagle-claw-like hands instantly clasped Lin Xi's slender neck.

"Stop!" He shouted angrily, through the panicked crowd and into the ears of He Tongguang who was about to make another attempt to snatch the prince back.

"Duke Anguo wouldn't want his son to become a widower just a few months after his marriage, right?" The man looked at He Tongguang with anger on his face and spoke gloomily.

"Let her go!" He Tongguang didn't expect that these two people were so insidious. They used a trick of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. Now that the prince has been kidnapped and Lin Xi has also been caught, he is afraid to act rashly and dares not make any moves for a while.

Xie, who was hiding behind the crowd, saw Lin Xi being strangled by someone. Her face turned pale. She wanted to rush out and fight with the man to rescue Lin Xi, but she was held back by Yu and Zhenzhu beside her and could not move.

Lin Xi was held tightly by the throat by the man. She couldn't help but breathe rapidly and her face turned pale. She stretched out her hands and scratched the man's hands, trying to force the man to let her go, but the man's arms were like iron and did not move at all.

"I advise the Crown Prince's wife to save her energy," the man couldn't help but sneer when he saw Lin Xi's futile resistance.

Lin Xi was still waving her hands, and in a place where the man couldn't see, she slowly touched the bracelet on her wrist. With a slight click, the gold-thread hollow bracelet on Lin Xi's wrist suddenly broke. In just a moment, she quickly took out the thin blade hidden in it and slashed it fiercely at the man's mouth!

At the same time, a clear and steady voice penetrated the crowd and reached her ears.

“Xixi, lower your head!”
