The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

imperial study room

Eunuch Shi hurried in to report, "Your Majesty, An San just received an urgent report, and An Wu has released a signal flare. Fearing that the Empress is in danger, he has immediately led people to rescue her."

Emperor Jiayou was still looking at the detailed list of funds for disaster reconstruction submitted by the Ministry of Revenue. Upon hearing this, he stood up and shouted, "An Yi!"

As Emperor Jiayou finished speaking, a shadow silently descended from the corner. "You must quickly bring twenty men to reinforce and ensure that the Empress is not harmed!"

An Yi was the emperor's personal protector, and at this moment he had to remind him, "Your Majesty, if I'm not here, I will bear the heavy responsibility of protecting you..."

Before he could finish the rest of his words, Emperor Jiayou said, "Just go! Isn't An Er here? And ask Xiao Shiyi to come over too!"

Now not only An Yi, but even Eunuch Shi was worried, "Your Majesty, how about I send the Imperial Guards to protect you?"

"Mobilizing the Imperial Guards would make too much noise, let Song Tingye come over!"

Eunuch Shi then said "yes" and left the imperial study. An Yi also disappeared into the shadows.

Sifang Hutong

The assassins knew that if they didn't speed up, the rescuers would arrive. So the assassin leader blew a whistle, and "Hula La" more than 20 people rushed out from the side, all holding long swords, and rushed towards Empress Cao and the five and six men.

Anwu and Anliu were already quite skilled, especially in Qinggong. But with so many people suddenly appearing, they were no match for the other two. The driver was even more vulnerable. Although he whipped his horse with great force and stopped a group of people, more than a dozen people still rushed towards Empress Cao and Zhihua.

Zhihua had been able to barely handle two of them at first, but now more than a dozen of them rushed out, and she couldn't stop them at all. Seeing them rushing towards Empress Cao, Zhihua could only shout, "Watch out!"

Empress Cao had been feeling a dull pain in her lower abdomen since she jumped out of the carriage, but the situation was urgent and she could only run forward desperately. She was almost at the gate of Zhou Mansion. She didn't know whether it was her period or something else, but the pain in her stomach was so severe that she couldn't run anymore and knelt on the ground!

Queen Cao looked at the thief running towards her and was too weak to struggle. She thought, my life is over!

No sooner said than done, the door of Zhou's mansion opened with a bang, and Quan Dali and Sun Dashan rushed out holding two long sticks.

Behind them, Uncle Fu and Chunxi were also banging on the basin with something, shouting, "Hurry up! Someone's killing someone!"

"Someone come quickly! Someone's killing someone!"

This trick was taught to them by Chen Xiuying.

Quan Dali has a total of ten days off and has to return to the camp this afternoon. Chen Xiuying couldn't bear to leave her son, so she didn't go anywhere.

Suddenly, there was the sound of swords and knives outside. As a soldier, Quan Dali wanted to go out to rescue people when he heard the sound. Chen Xiuying was worried that there were too many thieves and it would be dangerous for him to go out. So she came up with this trick because she had used it before and it worked!

When the assassins saw someone coming to their rescue, they immediately wanted to kill them, but Quan Dali swung his long stick so tightly that no air could penetrate it, and they could not get close to him. Although Sun Dashan did not know martial arts, he also imitated Quan Dali's example and waved his stick around.

Just at this time, An San also arrived with his men, but he only brought seven or eight people with him, and could only relieve some of their pressure.

Fortunately, it was broad daylight and Uncle Fu was banging on pots and calling for help. The people around him could not pretend to be deaf and dumb, so they had to send servants to rescue him.

When the assassins saw that the situation was unfavorable, they could only whistle and try to withdraw.

It was at this time that An Yi arrived with twenty people.

Seeing the assassins trying to escape, An Yi waved his hand, and all twenty of them pressed forward. The assassin leader didn't even have time to escape, as An Yi slit his throat the moment they met.

An Yi remembered the task given by Emperor Jiayou and rushed straight in. Until he saw Zhihua at the door of Zhou's house, Zhihua was also injured at this time, having been stabbed from behind by the assassin.

But the Empress's condition was worse than hers. When she was rescued by Chen Xiuying and Qing'er, she had fainted from the pain, and there was blood under her body.

Chen Xiuying saw this and knew it wasn't good. This was a sign of a miscarriage! She only recognized Zhihua among the people, so she rushed out and said to Zhihua, "Madam, you're having a miscarriage! My master is at the clinic two blocks away. Could you please run to him and have him come to my house immediately? Go!"

Upon hearing that the Empress was in danger, Zhihua, without a second thought, hurried in the direction Chen Xiuying had indicated. An Yi, still guarding his master, couldn't leave easily. Seeing this, he quickly ordered An San to follow Zhihua and quickly carry the doctor back.

Fortunately, it was about to rain, so no one came to the clinic for treatment. After Zhihua arrived at the clinic, she briefly explained her situation, and then Doctor Qian and his medical box were carried away by An San.

When Zhihua saw the man leave, her tense nerves relaxed and she started to walk out. However, she fainted after only a few steps.

Meanwhile, An San, carrying Doctor Qian, ran to Sifang Hutong. The battle was already over. The assassins, all of them death warriors, had no chance to escape and had taken poison. An Wu only had time to remove the jaw of one assassin, gag him, and tie him up.

At this time, the government received a report of the case and dispatched a bailiff. When the bailiff saw the token in An Yi's hand, he immediately ran back to the yamen to report. The case that even the royal family was involved in was definitely a major case that alarmed the imperial court, and it was beyond the reach of a small errand boy like him. Their masters were not qualified, and it had to be the Dali Temple!

After the assassins were dealt with, An Yi ordered the others to take the bodies back home and have them carefully examined for any other clues. He remained in the Zhou residence to continue protecting the Empress.

An San carried Doctor Qian directly to Zhou's residence, and the maid Chunxi led people directly to the second guest room.

Chen Xiuying had already wiped Empress Cao's skin. Seeing the master coming over, she hurriedly explained the situation to the master: "Master, she is bleeding a lot. I suspect she has symptoms of miscarriage. You need to give her acupuncture immediately."

Doctor Qian hurried forward to feel the patient's pulse. After a moment, his brow furrowed. "You are right! There are indeed signs of slippery pulse, but there is still hope! Master said, you will give the acupuncture."

Chen Xiuying heard her master say this and knew that Doctor Qian was worried that the wealthy families would be more cautious about this, so he asked her to do it. Fortunately, she had learned the basics from her master during this period, otherwise she really wouldn't dare to do it.

After she had given Empress Cao acupuncture as instructed by her master, Doctor Qian had also written the prescription and told An San, who was waiting outside, to quickly go to the clinic to get the medicine and boil it.

Meanwhile, Emperor Jiayou was restless in the palace, and Song Tingye hurried to protect him. Shortly afterwards, An Yi sent a messenger back to the palace with a message informing him that the Empress had survived but remained unconscious.

After hearing this, Emperor Jiayou immediately panicked, grabbed Eunuch Shi, and decided to go to Zhou Mansion in disguise.

In the Zhou Mansion, after the emergency rescue by the master and disciple, Empress Cao finally woke up. Seeing the busy figures of everyone, her heart was filled with gratitude.

Before she passed out, she saw an assassin draw his sword and attack Zhihua. Not seeing Zhihua, she felt a pang of anxiety and hurriedly asked, "Where's Zhihua?"
