People’s potential was unlimited, especially when they were driven to a desperate situation, people can often burst out with unprecedented strength.
At this moment, to survive, Imperial Concubine Zhou has unleashed an absolutely powerful force, carrying the emperor on her back alone, and running outside.
“Imperial Concubine, just run forward, we will protect you.” The palace guards saw that Imperial Concubine Zhou was so brave that she carried the emperor on her back without help, so they stopped caring and focused on dealing with the black-clothed killer in front of them.
“I know!” Imperial Concubine Zhou’s face was flushed, but she gritted her teeth and persisted, her steps were slow but steady.
The palace guards outside the emperor’s bedroom were the emperor’s confidantes in the palace. Their strength was not weak. Facing the attacks of black-clothed assassins one after another, they were struggling, but they were fighting desperately to find a way out.
“Imperial concubine, this way!” Soon, under the protection of the palace guards, Imperial Concubine Zhou rushed out of the bedroom with the emperor on her back.
It was silent outside the hall, not even a shadow of the imperial guards, it was as if the entire palace was deaf, and they couldn’t hear the fighting here at all.
“The Empress, that bitch, she will die badly.” Imperial Concubine Zhou was so angry that she disregarded etiquette and cursed.
“Imperial Concubine, there may be a fierce battle outside the Luanfeng Hall, so be careful.” The palace guards escorted Imperial Concubine Zhou out of the assassins’ siege, which relieved Imperial Concubine Zhou’s burden, and ran out together with the Emperor.
“I know.” Imperial Concubine Zhou gritted her teeth resolutely, and glanced at the palace where the third prince lived: “I don’t know what happened to the others?” She was afraid, she was afraid that bitch, the Empress would refuse to let her son go.
“Don’t worry, the empress, what she wants is the Emperor’s life.” The onlookers knew that the palace guards knew very well that the Empress didn’t take the third prince, the eldest prince, and others seriously.
As long as Prince Xiao turns his back on the battle, the throne will fall into the hands of the Empress’s seventh prince.
“That’s good, that’s good.” Knowing that her son will be fine, Imperial Concubine Zhou no longer hesitated and followed the palace guards to quickly run towards Luanfeng Palace.
Apart from themselves, there was no one else on the road. The palace, where people come and went every three steps, was like a dead city at this moment. No one came out, even if they screamed.
Seeing this scene, Imperial Concubine Zhou was shocked and frightened, wishing she could tear the Empress apart.
Without question, there were already black-clothed assassins waiting outside the Luanfeng Hall, and as soon as Imperial Concubine Zhou and others appeared, the assassins rushed over with a knife.
“Imperial Concubine, be careful!” The palace guard handed the emperor to Imperial Concubine Zhou again, met the assassin’s sword, and shouted at the same time: “Come, there are assassins… protect the Empress, come, there are assassins who want to assassinate the Empress.”
The palace guards knew that it was useless to protect the Emperor at this time. The Empress’s people were all inside and outside the palace, and what they wanted was to kill the Emperor, so how could they come out to protect the Emperor?
However, it was useless for the palace guards to say that there were assassins who wanted to assassinate the Empress, because the Empress has already transferred the imperial army away, and there were not many people in the huge palace at this moment, even if someone heard the guard’s distress shouting, they would not come out.
Outnumbered, the assassins sent by the Empress were all rigorously trained dead men, and soon the palace guards fell into a disadvantage. Imperial Concubine Zhou and the Emperor were surrounded by fewer and fewer people. Imperial Concubine Zhou carried the Emperor on her back again. Her body was covered in blood, and she looked extremely embarrassed.
The assassins were getting closer and closer, Luanfeng Palace was in front of her, but Imperial Concubine Zhou couldn’t get in, half hugging the emperor, Imperial Concubine Zhou shouted in despair: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up, wake up, wake up, look! Look at this poisonous woman, you can see how cruel her heart is.”
“Your Majesty, open your eyes and see, open your eyes!” When there was no way out, people will either burst out with greater potential or choose to collapse. Imperial Concubine Zhou was undoubtedly the latter. Breaking down, shaking, and slapping the Emperor constantly, hoping that the Emperor will wake up and support her.
However, there was no effect at all. No matter how Imperial Concubine Zhou slapped, the Emperor did not wake up.
Seeing the surrounding palace guards fall one by one, seeing that there was no possibility of survival, Imperial Concubine Zhou simply hugged the emperor and stopped running, closed her eyes, and waited for death to come.
Shadow guards appeared in this situation!
Dressed the same as the assassins, but with the spirit that the assassins don’t have, descending from the sky like gods, standing in front of Imperial Concubine Zhou and the Emperor, defending them from the attack of the assassins.
“You, are you the Emperor’s people?” The few remaining palace guards saw the helper appear, their eyes lit up, and they no longer had the tragic mood to die.
They knew it, they knew that the Emperor must have a backup.
The leader of the shadow guards said without turning his head: “No, we are Xiao Wangye’s people. We are protecting the emperor under Xiao Wangye’s order.”
“What?” The palace guard was dumbfounded. Even Imperial Concubine Zhou was also dumbfounded.
Didn’t Prince Xiao join hands with the Empress to put the Emperor to death? Why did he send someone to protect the Emperor?
“What our wangye wants is innocence.” The leader of the shadow guards said righteously. After saying this, he ignored Imperial Concubine Zhou and the palace guards. He tried his best to deal with the desperate black-clothed killer in front of him.
The addition of shadow guards led to a sudden change in the battle situation. The assassins quickly lost their advantage and were suppressed by Yinwei.
In Luanfeng Hall, the palace servant rushed in after receiving the news: “Empress, it’s not good. Xiao Wangye, Xiao Wangye’s people are here, and they rescued the emperor.”
“Xiao Tianyao? He came so fast!” The Empress was stunned for a moment, but she quickly calmed down, but the Seventh Prince beside her couldn’t calm down: “Mother, what does Imperial Uncle Xiao mean?” They only cooperated in the morning, but now, they were tearing up the cooperation.
“Brotherly love is deep, Xiao Wangye cannot bear the Emperor’s violent death.” Originally, she wanted to put the charge of assassination on Xiao Tianyao, but now it seems that she can’t.
Xiao Tianyao was really smart.
“Mother, did Uncle Xiao hear any news?” The Seventh Prince was not timid, but he was used to being cautious.
“What news can he hear? Can his hand reach the Central Empire?” The Empress said indifferently.
She admitted that Xiao Tianyao was extremely capable, but it was a pity that Xiao Tianyao has a bad background, so what if he was capable in the little East? Can he turn the world upside down?
“Mother, even if Imperial Uncle Xiao doesn’t know the news of the Central Empire, there must be a reason. Imperial Uncle Xiao will never do useless things. I’m afraid he won’t be on our side.” The Seventh Prince didn’t think Xiao Tianyao was able to find information about the Central Empire, but he vaguely guessed Xiao Tianyao’s intentions.
If the Emperor was not dead, he will not be able to become emperor, and their mother and son will not be able to hold the authority of the Eastern Country… …
