Lu Yun used 40% of her strength in this blow. "Originally, I was living an honest life in my farm in the West Mountains, diligently farming and reciting scriptures. But you had to plot against me? There's no war on the border of the Qin Dynasty, yet you want me to do this nonsense of marriage!"
The Third Prince's scalp tingled, his eyes dazzled. He sensed a sound of air breaking behind him, and just as he was about to turn to avoid it, someone grabbed his ankle and sent him plummeting onto the bed. Lu Yun opened her palm and, as fast as lightning, grabbed the back of his neck. Her five fingers formed into claws, gripping him firmly before pushing him hard.
"You are so noble and great, why don't you go and marry the princess yourself?" Go to hell with your honor, huh, tui!
There was a crisp sound of "crack", and the Third Prince's eyes rolled back and he fainted. Wang Quan, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, withdrew his hand and climbed up tremblingly. "Princess, the Third Prince--"
Lu Yun clapped her hands. "I just fainted temporarily. I guess Lord Dingyuan will be here soon."
Eunuch Wang was so excited that he said, "That's good, that's good."
The sky suddenly brightened, accompanied by a sharp whistle, and silver-white fireworks with long tails illuminated the dark night sky.
The rebels outside the house began to riot.
"Silence!" The leader roared and planned to go to the hall to find out what was going on in person, when he saw something flying out from the open door.
"The Third Prince, it's the Third Prince!"
The leader was horrified. He squatted down to test his breath when he heard earth-shaking shouts of killing from behind him. "Capture the rebels and rescue His Majesty!"
Continuous torches lit up most of the night sky, the high morale almost pierced the clouds, and in the blink of an eye, they had formed a siege.
Eunuch Wang carried His Majesty down from the kang and placed him on the ground.
Emperor Longqing refused Lu Yun's support and moved out step by step.
Seeing that bright yellow figure, Dingyuan Bo burst into tears and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me."
Emperor Longqing was very calm, and he leaned over and supported her, "My dear, you have been very tired."
Lu Yun, still dressed as a young eunuch, stood with Eunuch Wang on either side, her head lowered. The rebels were all captured, and everyone's nerves, which had been tense all night, finally relaxed.
Something unexpected happened!
As soon as she heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air, Lu Yun had already reacted, grabbing one of Emperor Longqing's arms and pulling him to the side to avoid the sneak attack.
"How dare you!" Dingyuan Bo roared and surrounded them with his officers and soldiers.
Lu Yun wiped her face, her stomach already starting to sing the empty city plan. She handed Emperor Longqing over to Eunuch Wang and closed the palace door.
Lu Yun drew his sword and charged forward. The others only felt a black shadow pass by, and before they could see the blue-clad eunuch's movements, the sneak attacker had already been sent flying.
Another arrow came at her, and Lu Yun couldn't bend down in time. The arrow brushed past her hair and sank into the palace wall in front of her. Her hair was no longer restrained by the headband and scattered everywhere.
The usually lazy eyebrows and eyes seemed particularly sharp at this moment. Lu Yun shouted angrily, "Little thief, die quickly!"
The people around were stunned. The little eunuch turned out to be a beautiful woman with great martial arts skills?
"Please, Princess, spare his life!" Earl Dingyuan rushed over.
Hearing this, Lu Yun had no choice but to put down the sword in his hand and raised his hand to knock him unconscious. The killer showed despair and quickly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve.
Fearing he would commit suicide, Lu Yun quickly reached out to grab the weapon, but the killer swung the knife and charged at her. Unable to dodge, Lu Yun felt a sharp pain radiate from her waist throughout her body.
"My kidney hurts!"
Using all his strength, he elbowed her and knocked her away, causing Lu Yun to faint.
When she woke up again, it was three days later. It was bright daylight, and Lu Yun found herself wearing only her undergarment, a bandage wrapped around her waist. The room was silent, devoid of a soul. Lu Yun gritted her teeth, pulled herself up, and craned her neck to peer out the window. The palace gates were undraped with white cloth.
Very good, Emperor Longqing is still alive.
Cai He walked in with the medicine soup. Seeing that the master had woken up, her eyes immediately turned red. "Master, does it hurt?"
The master's face was pale but he smiled and shook his head at her, "Nothing, just a minor injury."
Cai He picked up the medicine bowl and couldn't help complaining, "The imperial physician said that if it was half an inch deeper, it would have damaged the lungs. It's no exaggeration to say that it's extremely dangerous. But you still look so calm and composed, not knowing how worried we are. Miss Dashou has been guarding you for a whole day and night, and the princess has been running back and forth several times, and -"
"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong." Lu Yun pleaded with her and changed the subject, "What's the situation outside now?"
Cai He brought the cooled medicinal soup to her lips. "The rebels were all arrested that night, and the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are temporarily imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. Ding Yuanbo has arrested many people in the past few days. The ground in Caishikou has been dry every day, and the cells are almost full."
Lu Yun frowned as she swallowed the medicine soup and held a sweet-scented osmanthus candy in her mouth. "Where are the two concubines?"
Cai He brought tea and said, "She has been staying indoors all this time, but everyone is saying that Empress Li has been secretly colluding with the Third Prince for a long time."
"What's the proof?" Lu Yun held up the teacup.
Cai He: "His Majesty has issued an edict to reprimand Consort Li and has her confined. Consort Zhao is staying indoors on her own initiative."
The two queens have been watching the fight between the crown prince and the third prince from the sidelines. There must be other reasons behind this.
Hearing that Ning An had woken up, Roujia immediately rushed to Xianfu Palace. At the door, she ran into Eunuch Wang who had just come out of Xianfu Palace. Roujia sweetly called him "Grandpa Wang."
Wang Quan almost smiled like a flower. "Princess, I am sorry for embarrassing this old servant. The princess has woken up, please go in quickly."
"Ning'an!" Roujia rushed forward. If she hadn't been concerned about her body, she would have hugged her tightly.
Lu Tan also looked relieved and was pulled down by Cai He to have tea.
Roujia's eyes were slightly red. "When did you wake up? You look much better than yesterday."
Lu Yun smiled and said, "I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, so I am strong and healthy. A small wound is no problem for me. Princess, don't worry about me."
Roujia was amused by her and whispered, "During the few days you were asleep, a lot of things happened outside the palace. The government was busy confiscating houses and arresting people, and Prime Minister Lu has been ill for several days."
Lu Yun heard the hidden meaning in her words and sneered, "Whether the old thief is really sick or faking it, only he knows."
Roujia: "Don't worry about whether he's really sick or not. What did Eunuch Wang come here for? Is he talking about your marriage?"
Lu Yun said happily, "You are right. I don't need to go to Cao State anymore." The blow was worth it.
"And then? Didn't the emperor mention any rewards for you? You've done a great deed this time." Roujia let out a mischievous smile. "Everyone in and outside the palace is talking about the story of a woman with stunning beauty and extraordinary skills who saved the emperor on the battlefield."
"Princess, you are too kind. I know a little bit of martial arts, that's all." Lu Yun said righteously, "Your Majesty is a wise ruler. Protecting his safety is everyone's responsibility. I dare not take credit for it."
