Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

“Xixi, lower your head!”

Just as Lin Xi took out the blade and slashed it towards the man's mouth, a clear and steady male voice came straight into Lin Xi's ears through the noisy crowd.

Lin Xi didn't hesitate at all. The moment the man let go of her neck in pain, she elbowed him hard, quickly turned her head to the side, and lowered her body.

"Zheng!" A sharp arrow flashing with cold light broke through the crowd and shot towards the man behind Lin Xi, piercing his forehead. The man's pupils dilated, and without even a trace of struggle, he fell straight backwards.

"Ah!" There was silence in the hall for a moment, and then screams were heard from all directions, completely breaking the disguised calm.

Lin Xi rolled on the ground and picked up the soft sword that had just fallen to the ground. Then he looked towards the entrance of the hall, and saw He Lanting, who was wearing a dark green cloak and had a cold look in his eyes. He slowly put down the longbow in his hand, with murderous intent still in his eyes. When he received Lin Xi's gaze, the murderous intent instantly dissipated and turned into deep worry and fear.

Lin Xi looked at him from a distance, gave him a soothing look, and made the shape of "I'm fine" with her mouth. The fear in Helan Ting's eyes slowly faded away, and then he looked at the tall man in silver armor beside him and whispered something to him. The man's eyes were stern, and he raised the blood-stained long sword in his hand into the air and shouted: "Kill the traitors! Protect the king!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of fully armed soldiers swarmed out from behind the two men and fought with the rebels who had just rushed into the hall.

Lin Xi looked at the fighting and chaos in the hall, and hurriedly went to the Xie people with a sword. When he saw the rebels who wanted to rush up and hurt people, he swung his sword without mercy.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xi felt that her arm that was swinging the sword was extremely sore, and her wrist that had just been kicked by the man also felt a sharp pain. She struggled to pull the already bent soft sword out of the chest of a rebel who wanted to launch a sneak attack, but the next second she felt dizzy and fell into a warm embrace filled with the fragrance of orchids.

The fragrance of the orchid was fresh and elegant, not strong, but it separated a world for Lin Xi in this space full of blood, causing her nose to ache and she almost cried.

"Are you hurt?" He Lanting held Lin Xi tightly in his arms, feeling the violent heartbeat of the person in his arms, and his throat couldn't help but tighten.

The moment he came in, his eyes subconsciously scanned the entire hall. When he saw Lin Xi being held in the man's arms, strangled by the neck, with a pale face, he felt as if all the blood in his body seemed to be frozen at that moment.

But he knew he couldn't panic. He remembered that a few nights before entering the palace, Lin Xi lay in his arms and carefully confirmed with him the details of New Year's Eve, which palace gate had the weakest defense, and which palace road had a secret door...

Although it was a plan that had been discussed long ago, with Lin Xi and the Duke of Anguo and his wife delaying time in the palace while he and Huan Chen led the troops to attack from the outside, the arrow was on the string and he became more and more anxious. Looking at Lin Xi nestling in his arms and explaining all the key points to him in detail, a trace of panic spread in his heart, and he buried his head and sealed her bright red lips.

After the kiss, which was extremely passionate, both of them were a little breathless. Lin Xi raised her misty eyes and looked at him for a moment, revealing a comforting smile. She put one hand on his chest and said in a gentle voice, "What's wrong? Are you worried that something might happen to me?"

He Lanting's breathing was a little hurried. He took her rebellious hand into his palm and kissed it gently. He said uneasily: "Why don't you and your mother and second aunt not go to the palace that day? The sword has no eyes. I'm afraid..."

Lin Xi showed a knowing smile, and gently leaned her head on his chest, "Why don't you go to the palace? Are you claiming to be sick? It's impossible for three mistresses in the mansion to be sick at the same time. If none of you go, the prince will definitely get suspicious, and then all your efforts will fail." At this point, Lin Xi paused, his expression became more solemn, "Besides, the rebels are brutal. When the reinforcements arrive, they will be desperate and use the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao, or some of the remaining soldiers will flee outside the palace. Then the mansion will be unsafe."

He Lanting knew that everything she said made sense, but he and Lin Xi had finally gotten together. A rebellious act like forcing abdicate would always involve bloodshed, and the power of swords and knives was changing rapidly. Whenever he thought of a dangerous situation like tomorrow and he was not by Lin Xi's side, countless images of Lin Xi getting injured and bleeding, or even... emerged in his mind. Whenever he thought of such a possibility, his chest felt stuffy as if he couldn't breathe.

"But I'm always worried..." He had only said half of his words when Lin Xi put her finger on his lips.

"Don't say those unlucky words. You and I both know that I am not such a weak person. During the rebellion in Kuaiji that year, I also wielded a sharp sword to kill bandits. In the future, I will have a long life. I don't want to be just a delicate flower that is weak and helpless under your protection. I want to be a tall tree that will stand shoulder to shoulder with you to bear the wind and rain."

"Tomorrow I will always wear the soft sword that you and I forged together, and protect my mother and my second aunt. I will never fall down without seeing you, so please trust me and respect me, my husband, and don't let me down."

The candlelight flickered, but the glittering light in Lin Xi's eyes was three points brighter than that of the candlelight. Her eyes were full of determination, and she had an attitude of complete trust in He Lanting, which made He Lanting's heart surge. He pulled her tightly into his arms and kissed the goddess in his arms devoutly.

That night, the Yu Xi Shui Wen Pei swayed all night long. The two of them were closely attached to each other, blending perfectly with each other, and were extremely affectionate. They wished they could melt each other into their own bones and blood, until the sky outside the window was about to dawn and the wind and rain stopped.

"I'm fine." Lin Xi stretched out her hands and hugged He Lanting's waist tightly, greedily breathing in the light orchid scent on his body. He Lanting also hugged her back tightly, and there was silence between the two for a while.

Not far away, Mrs. Xie looked at the way Lin Xi and Lin Xi were hugging each other tightly, and showed a slightly teasing smile. She sighed to Mrs. Yu and Zhenzhu beside her, "It was the same scene back then, and that shameless old man also hugged me like this. But Brother Ting is much better than his father. The arrow just now made a young girl like Xixi excited and happy even for an old lady like me."

The reinforcements were obviously well prepared. The soldiers who rushed into the hall were all extremely brave and quickly killed all the rebels in the prince's party. Only Ban Que was left to protect the prince who had already woken up and the embarrassed queen, fighting and retreating to a corner of the hall.
