The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands
Chapter 63 Assassination
The Prince's Mansion was completely silent.
The dark shadows cleverly passed through the sentry posts in the palace and headed towards the prince's bedroom.
Not long after they took action, dozens of dark shadows followed their footsteps and rushed into the mansion.
The group behind them split into two groups, one group chased them towards the prince's bedroom, and the other group headed towards the bedroom where Chun Yurong lived in the backyard.
It was midnight, and the two maids sent to serve Chun Yurong had already gone to bed.
But the lights in Chun Yurong Palace were bright, and there was no one on the bed.
The assassins sent by the second prince rushed to the palace. Chun Yurong, who was neatly dressed and wearing a silver fox cloak, was inserting the last ruby hairpin in front of the mirror.
Looking at the brilliance of the ruby in the dark night, Chun Yurong's eyes flashed and he stood up suddenly.
"I have been waiting for you for a long time, let's go."
Chun Yurong stepped out of the bedroom surrounded by shadows. After killing the maid, several shadows came to join them.
Looking at the bloody short blades in their hands, Chun Yurong felt a sense of pleasure in his heart, and stepped into the cold wind with a determined expression.
After Jiang Wumei left, although Zhao Qi did not send more people to the bedroom, he also ordered the secret guards and the Huo family guards to be alert when patrolling and not to relax.
As the hour of Chou arrived, patrol personnel from various locations had just been handed over, and a new round of patrol deployment was formed.
A team of guards from the Huo family had just emerged from their beds to take over patrol. The weather was cold, and several of them were holding spears in their hands, talking as they walked.
"It's almost the end of the year. We've been in the Prince's Mansion for so long. When can we go back to the Huo family?"
"Yes, it's freezing cold, and patrolling every night is really hard.
I heard from my brothers in the Huo Mansion that after General Huo and Major General Huo came back, they invited them to eat delicious meat and wine for three days in a row.
I also want to go back to the Huo Mansion as soon as possible, drink a lot of wine and eat a lot of meat with my brothers."
"Who says it isn't?
Let me tell you, the Prince's Mansion is already heavily guarded, so why would he need to call us brothers to come and help?
The adult named Zhao Qi is too cautious.
This is the Prince's residence. Any daring bastard who dares to cause trouble here deserves to have his head chopped off!"
This team of patrolling guards was talking excitedly. Just as they turned a corner and came into the shadows, their bodies froze before they could finish their words.
In the darkness, several cold rays flashed, and the guards who had been complaining just now were all dead.
The conversation stopped abruptly, and the falling body was caught by the shadow and dragged into the flowers nearby for cover. After quietly handling everything, the shadow jumped up like a ghost and continued to move forward.
As team after team of guards fell, the secret sentries in the mansion soon realized something was wrong and sent a message.
Sharp whistles rang out in every corner of the Prince's Mansion. Zhao Qi, who was guarding Xiao Tong in the palace, immediately drew his sword and gave a stern order:
"There's a sneak attack!
I swear to protect His Highness's safety!"
Having his confidants guard the prince's bedside, Zhao Qi strode out of the bedroom with a long sword in hand. Looking at the nearly one hundred figures flying towards him from a distance, Zhao Qi's face suddenly darkened, and he quickly raised his sword to meet them.
"All secret guards, follow me to meet the enemy!"
Jiang Wumei's eyes were calm and she was sleeping soundly, but the white tiger cub in her arms suddenly opened its eyes.
Listening to the deliberately quiet footsteps outside the hall and the unfamiliar smell in the air, the white tiger cub growled anxiously, lowered his head and licked Jiang Wumei's cheek repeatedly, trying to wake her up.
Jiang Wumei was woken up by it. She opened her eyes sleepily and was frightened by the white tiger cub's standing fur.
"What's wrong, Xuetuan? Is something wrong?"
Recalling the last incident with the poisonous snake, Jiang Wumei didn't dare to delay and hurriedly got up and dressed.
Jiang Wumei moved quickly. After putting on her clothes, she covered the white tiger cub's mouth and nose to prevent it from making any sound, and then went to the window to look out quietly.
When Jiang Wumei saw the dark shadow flying across the roof in the dark night, she couldn't help but gasp.
Someone actually broke into the Prince's Mansion at night, and it seemed that they all went to Xiao Tong's bedroom!
Where are the Huo family's guards? !
And those secret guards, how come I didn’t see any of them!
Jiang Wumei's heart trembled. After the shadows disappeared, she hurriedly woke up Qingzhi and others.
When Qingzhi learned that someone was coming to assassinate the prince, she was frightened out of her wits. She quickly dressed herself and stayed around Jiang Wumei with her maid.
The cold wind was howling outside the hall. Qingzhi and others seemed to smell a strong smell of blood in the air, and they were a little scared, perhaps due to psychological reasons.
"Mother, what should we do now?"
As Jiang Wumei's confidant, Qingzhi looked at her queen's calm face and forced herself to calm down.
Jiang Wumei held the white tiger cub in her arms with a serious expression on her face, anticipating the situation on Xiao Tong's side, her mind racing.
"Your Highness is accompanied by secret guards and the Huo family's guards, so he will be safe for the time being.
What is important now is to keep ourselves safe.
These killers have clear targets. Although they all rush to the prince's bedroom, there is no guarantee that they will not gain any benefits from Zhao Qi and turn around to kill other people in the prince's mansion to vent their anger.
As the half-master of the Prince's Mansion, I will definitely bear the brunt of the harm.
I will never sit still and wait for death!"
Jiang Wumei's face darkened, and she stood up and quickly gave the order in an orderly manner:
"Everyone, follow me and rush to His Highness's bedroom at full speed.
If you encounter an assassin on the road, each of you should find a place to hide and save your life."
As she spoke, Jiang Wumei put on her cloak, held the white tiger cub in her arms, and walked quickly out of the bedroom with Qingzhi and the others.
Xiao Tong lay in Jiang Wumei's arms, smelling the strong smell of blood in the air. He arched his back, his whole body tensed, and looked around vigilantly.
Seeing Jiang Wumei leading people through the corridor, Xiao Tong suddenly jumped out of her arms, yelled at her twice, turned around and ran towards a small path.
"Xuetuan'er come back!"
In panic, Jiang Wumei's heart skipped a beat. Looking at its small body nimbly moving along the path, her eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately said to Qingzhi and the others:
"Follow Xuetuan'er."
Under the leadership of Xiao Tong, Jiang Wumei and the others were a little embarrassed as they walked through the path, but they finally arrived outside the prince's bedroom safely.
But as soon as she got here, Jiang Wumei's pupils suddenly shrank when she saw the scattered human body parts in front of her, and the strong smell of blood almost made her feel nauseous.
Blood continued to spread on the ground, and limbs and organs were scattered all over the ground. Jiang Wumei pursed her lips and hugged the white tiger cub tightly. Her nerves were tense, and her hands and feet were cold and trembling.
Trying hard to calm herself, Jiang Wumei once again passed the hellish scene in front of her and looked towards the prince's bedroom behind them.
Zhao Qi was leading the secret guards in a fierce fight to protect the bedroom behind them. The guards of the Huo Mansion also raised their spears and joined forces with the secret guards to encircle the group of shadows and prevent them from getting even a step closer to the prince's bedroom.
"Follow me!"
Jiang Wumei quickly determined the safest path, and while everyone was fighting, she hurriedly ran forward with the white tiger cub in her arms.
Qingzhi and others followed Jiang Wumei and quickly approached the prince's bedroom.
As soon as they arrived at the door of the bedroom, secret guards flew out and stopped Jiang Wumei and the others.
"stop!"
Jiang Wumei's eyebrows jumped, but she remained calm while holding the white tiger cub:
"It's me! Put away your swords!"
Seeing that it was her, the guard who stopped her immediately put away his sword and knelt:
"Please forgive me, Concubine. It was dark and crowded just now, so I couldn't see clearly."
Jiang Wumei said coldly:
"How is your highness?"
"Your Highness, under your leadership, no assassins have crossed the defense line and entered the palace. Your Highness is safe."
Hearing the secret guard's words, Jiang Wumei finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"Move aside, I want to go in and accompany His Highness."
"Yes, Your Majesty, but the situation is special now. Lord Zhao has specifically instructed that no one else can enter except you."
Jiang Wumei was stunned for a moment, then she realized that Zhao Qi was afraid that there was a traitor around her.
But since they are already here, Qingzhi and the others will not have to worry about their lives if they stay outside.
Jiang Wumei nodded, winked at Qingzhi, indicating that they should wait for her outside the hall, and strode into the bedroom with the white tiger cub in her arms.
