A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

Zhang Qingyang also put on his clothes and came to the warm residence with Zhang Heng. Since they were both civil officials, they naturally did not know martial arts.

"My lord, you must not go there; they've already gone on a killing spree."

The butler blocked Zhang Qingyang's way.

"Luo'er is inside, I need to go and save her."

At this moment, Zhang Qing's eyes also reddened. Who on earth was so bold as to come and assassinate him?

"Father, neither of us knows martial arts, so we can't rescue Luo'er even if we go in. Now is the time to quickly notify the Censorate and the Prince of Xiling."

Zhang Heng tugged at his sleeve, looking worriedly in the direction of the warm house.

Although he had a very unpleasant day, he never thought of letting Bai Luoluo die.

"Someone, quickly go and inform the Censorate, the Prince of Xiling... and General Bai."

"My lord, this old servant will send someone there immediately."

The steward jogged away, grabbing two servants and ordering them to report the case to the Censorate, while the other went to the Prince of Xiling's residence.

Given the current situation, it would be very difficult for Bai Luoluo to survive.

After pondering for a moment, the steward headed towards the general's direction.

The general is highly skilled in martial arts; once he arrives, he will surely be able to rescue Bai Luoluo.

The steward rode away on horseback, moving with incredible speed.

The servants and maids of the Zhang family hid in the shadows, trembling with fear.

"Heng'er, go to the palace quickly and report to the Emperor about what happened here."

Zhang Qingyang took out a token and handed it to Zhang Heng.

"Father, you must hide quickly, I will go right away."

Zhang Heng reached out and took it, gave him some instructions, and then hurried away.

Zhang Qingyang had already guessed who was behind this elaborate assassination attempt.

Only the Emperor can deter the Empress's madness now. If his Luo'er really dies, the entire Xiling will be transformed.

The warm house is now like a living hell, with corpses everywhere and blood flowing out of the courtyard gate.

Seeing the bright red blood, Zhang Qingyang turned pale with fright.

He took a short sword from somewhere and approached the courtyard gate step by step.

At this moment, Zhang Muli, who was limping, rushed over and, seeing that he was about to enter the courtyard, immediately stopped him.

"Grandfather, you can't. You don't know martial arts, so you won't be able to save my cousin."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingyang turned around and saw his grandson standing not far away, his face pale.

"Li'er, hurry back to your own courtyard."

He hurried over, and thankfully these assassins were only after Bai Luoluo and did not massacre the entire Zhang family.

"Grandfather, who has my cousin offended?"

Hearing the sounds of fighting, Zhang Muli couldn't help but ask.

"Don't ask too many questions about this matter. If Luo'er really dies, our Xiling will probably be in chaos."

At this moment, Zhang Qingyang sighed slightly, his eyes filled with worry.

"My cousin must know martial arts; she'll surely be able to turn misfortune into good fortune."

After being beaten up, Zhang Muli had sobered up considerably and decided to repent and start anew.

Hearing him say that, Zhang Qingyang's eyes showed a hint of relief.

"what........"

Screams pierced the darkness.

"What benefits did the Empress give you that you dared to openly assassinate a first-rank princess? Aren't you afraid of having your entire family executed?"

Bai Luoluo slapped an assassin away with one palm, her eyes filled with icy killing intent.

"Since you knew all that, you deserve to die even more."

The assassin leader took out a small whistle and blew it. In a moment, another group of men in black flew into the Zhang residence and headed straight for the warm room.

"Damn it, he's still calling for help."

Bai Luoluo cursed angrily, then took out her pistol and fired at the assassin fighting Leng Ye in the distance.

Seeing another assassin fly into the Zhang residence, Zhang Muli forcibly pulled Zhang Qingyang behind a tree, holding a dagger in his hand and warily looking around.

There are so many assassins, it's impossible to kill them all.

The guards of the Zhang family are almost all gone, and now only the shadow guards of the Xiling Prince's Mansion are still fighting the enemy.

Seeing her own people fall one by one, Bai Luoluo was heartbroken.

Blood dripped from the tip of her sword, and her other hand was clenched into a fist.

That damned empress must be eliminated as soon as possible; that old hag is truly inhuman when she goes crazy.

Upon hearing of this, the Censorate was already on its way to the Zhang residence.

The same was true for the Prince of Xiling's residence; Gu Yanchi used his lightness skill to rush here.

In the sleeping hall.

"Your Majesty, wake up! Something terrible has happened!"

"Eunuch Yuan said from outside the sleeping quarters."

The emperor, who was still asleep, frowned and slowly woke up.

"What's the fuss about?"

There was a hint of displeasure in his tone; what important thing could happen so late at night?

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. A large number of assassins have stormed the Zhang residence, and Miss Bai is probably dead now."

Eunuch Yuan quickly replied that he wouldn't dare disturb the Emperor even if he were given a hundred heads, unless it was something extremely important.

"What did you say?"

The emperor regained consciousness, got up, picked up the dragon robe, and put it on himself.

"Lord Zhang's son came to the palace with the token to report that the Zhang family is now in bloodshed."

Hearing the commotion, Eunuch Yuan pushed open the palace door and came in.

"Guards, come with me out of the palace."

The Emperor said in a cold voice.

Who is so bold as to break into an official's residence?

At this moment, the Emperor, accompanied by many shadow guards and imperial guards, headed straight for the Zhang residence.

Many maids and servants fled the Zhang residence, including Wang Shi and Zhang Xiyan.

The mother and daughter stood in an alley not far from the Zhang residence, looking in the direction of the Zhang residence with worry in their eyes, and a hint of secret joy.

If Bai Luoluo were really killed, that would be a great relief.

Worried that Zhang Heng had caused Zhang Muli to disappear, Madam Wang was extremely anxious.

But to survive, she couldn't care less about anything else.

Bai Luoluo, Leng Feng, and Leng Ye fought side by side. At this moment, there were very few Shadow Guards left, and they were surrounded by assassins.

"Hand over Bai Luoluo, and we'll let you go."

The assassin leader's eyes held a bloodthirsty smile, as if the current hellish situation had nothing to do with him.

"Don't think about it."

With a murderous glint in his eyes, Leng Feng stood in front of Bai Luoluo.

"If you are stubborn, kill!"

The assassins swarmed forward, and Bai Luoluo took out a grenade, ready to blow up these scumbags.

Now that we can clearly distinguish between friend and foe, we are not afraid of being accidentally harmed.

The two sides were fighting each other just now, so it was impossible to use it, since throwing it out might kill our own people.

At this moment, Gu Yanchi flew over and killed the two assassins with a single blow.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Bai Luoluo revealed a slight smile.

Seeing him covered in blood, with blood on his face and in his hair, Gu Yanchi felt extremely distressed.

"Luo'er, I'm late."

He flew to Bai Luoluo's side, his eyes full of apology.

"It's not too late, let's fight our way out together."

Bai Luoluo's veil was long gone, and a bloodthirsty smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

"it is good."

Even with Gu Yanchi's involvement, the assassins still did not give up on killing Bai Luoluo.

Screams echoed continuously from the warm room.

Zhang Kui arrived with his men from the Censorate, and as soon as they entered the Zhang residence, they smelled a strong stench of blood.

Upon seeing the people from the Censorate arrive, Zhang Qingyang stepped out from behind the tree.

"Commander Zhang, quickly save the Princess of Xiling."

His body was trembling; he was clearly terrified.

"Lord Zhang, step back. I will go in and rescue them."

After Zhang Kui finished speaking, he led the men of the Censorate to storm in.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Gu Yanchi didn't bother to say anything and began brandishing his sword.
