The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

"Clang-"

Concubine Shen threw a sharp dagger at her and stared at her silently.

The arrogant look in his eyes made her hate him as much as before!

but……

Situ Zheng looked at her brother with trembling eyes, a complicated expression in her eyes, not understanding how things turned out like this.

When she wrote the letter to ask her brother for help, she never thought that it would end up in a fight. It was really ridiculous!

Situ Zheng looked at Qing Yuan, who looked pale and haggard. She was obviously exhausted due to excessive blood loss. It would be very dangerous to continue like this!

She gritted her teeth, bent down and picked up the dagger.

When Situ Sheng saw this scene, he panicked and wanted to stop it but his body was out of control.

He had no choice but to speak urgently, "Zheng'er, you must not listen to the slanderous words of this evil concubine! Wait a little longer, and Prince Xuan's men will come to rescue us!"

"Hahahaha—ridiculous! You deliberately blocked the news about Kunning Palace, wasn't it just to prevent Xie Chengqian from ruining your plan? And you even dreamed that he would come to save you."

Concubine Shen's eyes were full of ridicule.

How could such an ignorant fool have the confidence to defeat her and Xie Chengqian and ascend to the throne?

"Don't spit blood on me!"

Situ Sheng's face looked extremely ugly. He didn't expect that this enchanting concubine could see through his thoughts at a glance.

Concubine Shen just gave him a contemptuous look and had no intention of arguing with him. She just looked at the queen.

Although she lost today, at least she watched a great show.

The reason why Situ Zheng was able to sit firmly on the throne for many years was not only because of the support of the Situ family, but more importantly, it was because she knew the current affairs and had a far-sighted vision.

She is not stupid!

The situation was originally very good, but now she is forced to the point where it is difficult for her to save her life. How can she trust her brother?

Situ Zheng's eyes turned cold, and she approached Situ Sheng step by step with a dagger in her hand, her face full of determination.

"Zheng'er! Do you really want to kill me?"

Situ Sheng was shocked and disappointed. He didn't even wait for an answer before shouting an order, "Come here, capture the Queen and the Demon Concubine!"

He still has his archers outside, and he doesn't want to show his last trump card unless it is absolutely necessary.

There were rustling sounds outside, and danger was imminent.

Situ Zheng had completely given up hope and said sadly, "Brother, why do you treat me like this? If you want the throne, just say so."

She wanted Qing Yuan to ascend the throne, and she also wanted to support the Situ family. She didn't want Situ Sheng to seize the throne at first, but was afraid that he would bear the eternal infamy.

Who knew that it was all her wishful thinking!

Situ Sheng snorted coldly, "You can't blame me for this. You were the one who disobeyed me first and helped King Xuan to bully me!"

Situ Zheng was stunned, unable to believe his outrageous accusation.

When has she ever bullied her brother?

"Do it!"

Situ Sheng gave the order regardless, fearing that if he was a step slower, the evil concubine would have some plan to escape.

The sound of a bow and arrow breaking through the air suddenly came!

Concubine Shen narrowed her cold eyes and pulled Xie Qingyuan's body over to use as a shield.

Situ Zheng screamed in horror, "No!"

The next moment, she resolutely stood in front of Qing Yuan, fighting for the last glimmer of life for Qing Yuan, hoping that Qing Yuan could survive until King Xuan's troops arrived.

Xie Qingyuan was already conscious but when she saw her mother's slender and tall figure, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

She wanted to push her mother's body away, but she didn't have the strength to do so.

Queen Mother...

Xie Qingyuan regretted it. She should have firmly chosen this path from the beginning. If she had seized power this morning, such a tragedy would not have happened today.

Too bad she didn't get the chance.

Everyone thought that the queen would be killed by thousands of arrows, but they didn't know that those sharp arrows were all aimed at Situ Sheng, piercing his limbs with sharp and precise precision.

The remaining arrows all fell around Situ Sheng, isolating him.

"what--"

Situ Sheng let out a miserable scream that almost blew off the roof of Kunning Palace, and the others couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

They stared at the scene in amazement, speechless.

what happened?

Shouldn't those sharp arrows have hit the queen?

Situ Sheng's archers were carefully trained, so such an outrageous accident of shooting the wrong person should not have happened. Moreover, just by looking at where the arrows landed, one could tell how good these archers' archery skills were.

Concubine Shen's face trembled. She was the first to realize that something was wrong and she grabbed Xie Qingyuan and tried to escape.

But when she turned around, a sharp sword pierced her heart straight into her chest!

Concubine Shen gradually became short of breath and could see clearly the person who had been standing behind her without her noticing when. His cold eyes were as if he was looking at a dead person.

It’s Xie Chengqian!

“You…when did you…”

Before she could finish her words, Concubine Shen spat out a mouthful of blood. Her heart, which had stopped beating, made it impossible for her to breathe, and she eventually fell to the ground and died.

Xie Qingyuan, who was originally held hostage by Concubine Shen, fell down as well, but was quickly caught by Mu Yun, who immediately called out, "Doctor, come quickly."

The imperial physician walked in tremblingly, not daring to say much, and quickly treated the third princess's injuries.

He lost too much blood and had to hang on by one breath, which was really hard for him. Fortunately, there were many precious medicinal herbs in the palace.

Situ Zheng felt like she had been acupunctured since the beginning, unable to move, and she didn't even notice when Xie Chengqian came.

It was like walking back from the gates of hell!

After she slowly regained her strength, she fell to the ground. Without caring about her image, she staggered to Qing Yuan's side. Looking at her pale face, she couldn't help crying.

"Quick, save Qing Yuan!"

"Don't worry, Queen. You are still injured. Please don't make your injuries worse."

The imperial physician was so panicked that he knew there was no way he could save the patient!

Situ Zheng didn't care at all, her voice full of tears, "Don't worry about me, I just want Qingyuan to be fine."

Cold sweat broke out on the imperial physician's forehead. The other imperial physicians were assigned to other places to treat the wounded, and there was not even one to help him.

The third princess's injuries were so severe that he was too busy to give her acupuncture and medicine.

"Hey? Where are the ginseng slices? Help me find them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a white porcelain bottle was handed to him, and a cold voice was heard in his ear, "Ginseng slices alone are not enough, seal this acupuncture point, otherwise it will consume too much of the Third Princess's energy."

The imperial physician was stunned and subconsciously looked up to see a young, fair face.

Why does it look familiar?

"Quick!"

Seeing that he didn't move, Song Xiwan was really anxious.

Saving lives is a matter of every second!

She discovered this tragic situation when she came all the way to Kunning Palace. She didn't even have time to say a word to Xie Chengqian before she treated Xie Qingyuan.

The imperial physician trembled at the shouting, feeling humiliated, and silently retorted, "Where did you come from, girl? Stay aside, this acupuncture point cannot be touched!"

Song Xiwan calmly analyzed, "The Third Princess's spirit has been largely depleted. Only by attacking this vital point can she have a glimmer of hope. All your other actions are just keeping her alive."

This trick was taught to her by Doctor Xu. It is dangerous but effective.
