The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

The leader kicked the door open with a torch in hand. He took two steps forward and before he could see the situation in the house clearly, his mouth was filled with incense ash. Behind him, he heard coughing and screaming one after another.

Lu Yun moved quickly. After a few consecutive moves, including those hit by the incense burner, there were already five or six people lying on the ground. The enemies saw the situation in the house and rushed towards her.

The leader was furious and said, "Hold this little eunuch for me!" He walked quickly towards the inner room where Emperor Longqing was.

Eunuch Wang, hiding behind the door, lifted a vase and smashed it down on the leader's head. The leader was unable to dodge and was hit halfway on the shoulder, forcing him back a few steps. Lu Yun quickly drew his sword, forcing several people who were approaching away, and quickly turned and ran back into the room.

Eunuch Wang hugged the leader's waist to prevent him from getting any closer to His Majesty, and cried out in tears, "Your Majesty, this old slave has done his best!"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a "puff" sound, and blood spurted out from the top of his head, splashing all over his face.

Lu Yun yelled, "Eunuch Wang, go ahead!"

Wang Quan picked up his official sword and pointed it straight ahead, his voice still choking with sobs, "Don't worry, Princess. I will protect Your Majesty at the cost of my life!"

Lu Yun gripped the long sword tightly in his hand and stared at the remaining people with sharp eyes. "You guys are not enough to fill my teeth." He rushed forward again.

Wherever they went, sparks flew from the clash of swords, and figures fell one after another, accompanied by the teeth-grinding sound of swords piercing into flesh.

After dealing with the last person, Lu Yun shook off the blood stains on the sword and put it back into the scabbard.

Eunuch Wang wiped the tears from his eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Your Majesty, everything is fine outside for now."

Emperor Longqing smiled and nodded, "You and Ning An have worked hard."

Lu Yun walked to the inside of the hall door, sat on the ground leaning against the door, and waited quietly in the darkness.

The Third Prince, leading a large number of troops, quickly arrived at the Purple Palace. Seeing the palace gates wide open from afar, he raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, then raised his torch and shouted, "The Crown Prince is attempting treason and has been captured alive. Your son has brought his men to rescue you!"

Only then did everyone see clearly that the corpses had been piled up from inside the hall to outside. The hall was still and silent, as if there was no trace of life.

The Third Prince handed the torch to Jixiang, then drew his sword with a swish, a fierce look in his eyes. "Hate! The Crown Prince is plotting treason, and I'm afraid my father has already met his end!"

The Third Prince brought Jixiang closer to the door step by step and finally saw the situation in the hall clearly. The once high and glorious nine-dragon gold-painted throne was now stained with large patches of black and red stains.

The four-legged enamel incense burner with a dragon pattern and a pearl was thrown at the door of the hall, and the incense ash mixed with blood was splattered everywhere. The lichen on the blue ground with a golden cloud dragon and lotus pattern was even more filthy, and the original color could no longer be seen.

The Third Prince narrowed his eyes slightly, stepped over the corpses on the ground, and strode towards the inner room. Jixiang, who was walking in front, felt a flash before his eyes, and a basin of water was poured over his head, and the torch in his hand was suddenly extinguished.

The third prince shouted "Shh!" at Jixiang, then raised the sword in his hand and stabbed it hard at the bed. The smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger.

Father, there is no turning back. If you want to blame someone, blame that loser Qin Zhong. Let me do it myself!

With a crisp "ding" sound, the long sword flew out of his hand and inserted into the table next to him. In the blink of an eye, a long sword still smelling of blood was placed on his neck.

"Who!" The Third Prince was terrified. There was actually someone hiding in the room! Lu Yun didn't say anything. He gathered all his strength and kicked Jixiang, who was about to attack him, unconscious.

"Don't move!" Lu Yun warned in a rough voice, trying hard to act like a man.

The Third Prince noticed him standing behind him, so he calmed himself down and said, "No matter who your master is, His Majesty is dead. If you only lay down the sword, I will forgive you and not only send you out of the palace, but also reward you with a large sum of gold and silver. How about that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the knife on his neck get closer to him. The Third Prince narrowed his eyes and continued to persuade him, "The Crown Prince has been deposed, and the Emperor is dead. Your Highness will become the sole heir to the throne of the Qin Dynasty. I will definitely ensure that you will have a glorious life."

Lu Yun said timidly, "Your Highness the Third Prince thinks too highly of me. I am only following orders. Besides, I thought that even if the Qin Dynasty lost you, there would still be four or five other Highnesses."

The Third Prince looked at him with disdain. "Little Four became a useless person nine years ago. Little Five is just a bookworm who dreams of becoming a great scholar all day long. Only I, Qin Xin, am worthy of this throne and the power to rule the Qin Dynasty!"

Lu Yun's heart moved, and she decided to play a trick. "Master said that the assassination at the outing nine years ago was done by the Third Prince, and then there was the Luzhou official salt case. Even" Lu Yun's eyes turned, "sending Princess Ning'an to the Cao Kingdom for marriage was also secretly instructed by you, Prime Minister Lu, and they worked together."

"Who exactly is your master?" The third prince suddenly felt murderous.

Lu Yun exerted force on her wrist, and the sword tip had already sunk into her flesh. "Third Prince, you haven't answered my question yet?"

"Don't be impulsive," the Third Prince said anxiously. "I didn't expect Xiao Si to become disabled because of this incident. I only ordered someone to take advantage of the situation to injure the arm of the Duke of Dingyuan's son, in order to sow discord between the Duke of Dingyuan and the Crown Prince. As for the Ning'an marriage—it would satisfy the allies, and Lu Dan's party is also waiting to make another profit from it—after all, using a woman to exchange for 5,000 horses for our dynasty, why not? This is what everyone wants to see, including the Crown Prince!"

Lu Yun released a third of the force from her wrist, and moved her sword half an inch away. "My master said that Princess Ning'an first developed improved seeds to increase yields, allowing the people to eat well. Later, she found potatoes, carefully cultivated them, and reported them to the court, benefiting the country and eliminating famine. I believe such a woman should be made a marquis and prime minister, and her reputation will be passed down through the ages."

The Third Prince sneered, "Ning'an is just a woman. How do you know that her high-quality crops and potatoes didn't come from men? It's an honor for her to marry into our dynasty in exchange for five thousand fine horses! I will make a note of her in history books for the sake of these horses."

Realizing that the long sword at his neck had been withdrawn, the Third Prince tightened his grip on the hilt, quickly stepped back, and looked back.

Standing alone in front of him was a little eunuch. He was short and thin, not even as tall as his neck.

"Third Prince, it turns out that I, Ning An, am not worth mentioning in your eyes. Perhaps the weight of women in this world can be summed up by the word 'plaything' in your eyes." Lu Yun dragged the sword and stepped closer to Qin Xin. "I just wonder how many moves a young prince like you can withstand in my hands?"

The Third Prince was in disbelief and was greatly shocked. "Are you Ning An? Are all the corpses in this hall yours—"

"What else?" Lu Yun blew a breath at the sword. "He was once a good boy, but now he's covered in fur. Whenever a woman achieves something, the credit goes to the man. You're so noble, and you're trying to win over the ministers in the court. Aren't they men? You're so arrogant that you look down on women, but you still have to marry them and take them as concubines to win over the forces behind them?"

The third prince was furious and shouted, "Shut up!" and attacked Lu Yun.

Lu Yun raised his sword to meet the attack, leaned back, raised his hand, and heard a crisp slap sound.

The third prince staggered from the blow, and when he opened his mouth, a tooth covered in blood and saliva flew out.
