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

Not long after.

Bai Hao flew into the Zhang residence, and upon smelling the pungent stench of blood, his body trembled slightly.

Upon seeing Zhang Qingyang, he did not approach her to say anything, but instead flew directly into the warm residence, worried about his daughter's safety.

When he flew into the warm house, his eyes searched for Bai Luoluo's figure everywhere.

Because it was night, the light was still too dim.

After searching for a moment, he saw a small figure wielding a long sword and fighting an assassin. At that moment, Bai Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Without saying a word, he grabbed his spear and began to kill the assassin.

With the addition of the Shenxing Division and Bai Hao, more than half of the assassins were killed or wounded.

The emperor arrived late and dismounted from his horse.

To save time, the emperor did not travel by carriage, but instead arrived on horseback with his imperial guards.

He quickly entered the Zhang residence.

At this moment, the Zhang residence no longer had any guards; anyone could enter.

The screams made the emperor pause in his tracks.

"Seize prisoners for me."

He gave the order.

"Yes."

The Imperial Guards rushed towards the direction of the warm residence in an instant.

Zhang Qingyang and his grandson hurried over, and the subject greeted the Emperor.

He hadn't expected the Emperor to come in person.

"Get up and talk."

"Yes."

"What's the situation inside? Is Miss Bai still alive?"

The emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Xiling, the Shenxing Division, and General Bai are all inside killing the assassins. As for whether Miss Bai is alive, I do not know."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor took a sword from a nearby Imperial Guard and headed straight for the warm residence.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't." Zhang Qingyang stopped the emperor in his tracks. "You are the ruler of the country; you cannot take such a risk."

"I was on the battlefield myself back then, so Lord Zhang need not worry. I would like to see these assassins with my own eyes."

The emperor was also skilled in martial arts; he was a prince who excelled in both literature and martial arts back then.

"Your Majesty is of immeasurable value, I am filled with trepidation."

If something were to happen to the Emperor, wouldn't the entire Zhang family be implicated and punished?

"Take Lord Zhang away."

The Emperor bypassed Zhang Qingyang, paused, and flew into the warm residence.

Yuan Gonggong was not good at riding a horse. His legs were trembling and he was helped in by the Imperial Guards. He saw the Emperor flying in with his sword.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't..."

Unfortunately, his words had no effect.

The moment the Emperor flew inside, his brows furrowed.

Corpses were everywhere, and the ground beneath our feet was already stained red with blood.

As Bai Hao fought the assassin, his sword aimed directly at the assassin.

The shadow guards of the Prince of Xiling arrived shortly afterward and surrounded the entire warm residence.

The remaining people flew into the warm house to kill the enemy.

As Bai Hao turned around, he saw the Emperor, whose spear had driven back the assassin.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Isn't this just making things worse?

"I will fight alongside you against the enemy."

"Your Majesty, please leave quickly. I will handle things here."

Bai Hao kicked him out.

"Your girl actually knows martial arts; she's just like you back in the day."

Seeing Bai Luoluo fighting the enemy not far away, the Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes full of praise.

The emperor's shadow guards instantly shielded him, and Bai Hao shook his head helplessly.

"This girl is very well hidden; I only just found out about her myself."

Nowadays, there are very few assassins left.

"Put down your weapons, reveal who is behind this, and I will give you a chance not to be implicated."

The Emperor spoke sternly, his voice carrying an air of authority.

The assassin leader snorted coldly upon hearing this.

He didn't intend to live after coming here today.

He would be ashamed of his master's cultivation if he couldn't kill Bai Luoluo.

"Go all out to kill Bai Luoluo."

He shouted angrily.

The remaining five assassins broke free from their opponents and all charged towards Bai Luoluo.

Upon seeing this, the emperor flicked his sleeves.

"Stubborn."

Upon hearing this, Bai Hao's eyes showed worry, but seeing Gu Yanchi reassured him considerably.

These scumbags truly deserve to die.

Bai Luoluo sent one flying with a wave of her hand.

"Since you so desperately want to kill me, is your master that person in the palace?"

At this moment, Bai Luoluo deliberately spoke loudly.

Now that the Emperor has arrived, let him know how ruthless the Empress is.

The assassin did not answer, but instead viciously attacked Bai Luoluo.

However, the emperor took these words to heart.

With so many assassinations, no one without skill could possibly maintain so many assassins.

Could it be the Empress?

The moment this idea came to mind, the emperor was alarmed.

At this moment, the last assassin was killed by Gu Yanchi, and the only assassin leader whose tendons in his hands and feet had been severed lay on the ground groaning.

"Bai Luoluo, even if I don't kill you today, my master will not let you go in the future. You will die sooner or later."

"Ha ha.........."

The assassin leader laughed wildly.

The laughter stopped, and he bit off his own tongue.

Bai Luoluo frowned. Biting her tongue wouldn't kill her; at most, she'd be unable to speak.

However, judging from his appearance, he was already possessed, so it was clearly impossible for him to reveal the mastermind behind the murder.

"Luo'er, this person has fainted and is probably useless now."

Gu Yanchi sheathed his sword and glanced at her sideways.

"Let him die if he wants; he won't confess."

Looking at the current state of the warm residence, Bai Luoluo felt extremely dissatisfied with the Empress.

Driven by her own selfish desires, she caused the deaths of so many innocent people; she was truly eager to die.

"The Emperor is here, Luo'er, let's go over there."

Gu Yanchi saw that the Emperor was looking in his direction, and as a subject, he should go and pay his respects.

"it is good."

Bai Luoluo and Gu Yanchi walked towards the Emperor.

"Your subject and your daughter pay their respects to Father Emperor and Your Majesty."

The two bowed slightly.

"This place is too bloody. Let's leave first and then report back."

Although the emperor had been on the battlefield, it was when he was young, and he was still somewhat unaccustomed to such bloodshed.

"Your Majesty, please move to the main hall."

Zhang Muli helped Zhang Qingyang in, but the two only stood by the courtyard gate and did not dare to actually go in.

"Alright."

The Emperor and Bai Hao walked outside.

"Take a count of the number of assassins here. Give the deceased Shadow Guards and bodyguards a proper burial and provide their families with substantial compensation."

Gu Yanchi said to Zhang Kui.

Bai Luoluo frowned as she looked at the blood on her body and said, "I want to change my clothes first; I'm very uncomfortable like this."

"That's fine, but it's not really suitable here because there are too many people."

Gu Yanchi glanced at the Imperial Guards and the people from the Censorate.

"It's alright, I'll go inside and change. Why don't you come in and change too, Achi?"

"this........."

Gu Yanchi felt that since the two were not yet married, it was a bit inappropriate for them to share a room for washing and grooming.

"I'm in the inner room, and Achi is in the outer room. We're just having a quick wash."

Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Bai Luoluo said calmly.

"Ah."

Bai Luoluo pushed open the door and entered, only to see Xiao Tao holding a small porcelain bottle and staring at the door in horror.

"They seem terrified."

She stepped forward and helped Xiaotao up from the ground.

"Miss."

Xiao Tao called out excitedly.

"Don't be afraid that everything will end."

"Is the young lady injured?"

"No, don't worry."

Why did these people kill the young lady?

Xiao Tao couldn't understand why these people wouldn't let the young lady go, given her beauty and kindness.

"Xiao Tao, don't worry about this. Just bring us some clean water; I want to wash up."

"Please wait a moment, Miss, I'll go right away."

Soon after, clean water was brought in.
