Biquge www.xbiquge.tw, the fastest update of Shengwu Xingchen!

The cold light flickered.

Killed with one sword.

Seeing that the sharp sword was about to pierce the young maid's eyebrow.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly space and time seemed to be frozen, and the black-clothed assassin found that his immortal sword was no longer able to advance at all.

what happened?

He was shocked.

But the next moment——

Ding!

The blade of the sword broke inconceivably, turning into countless debris.

The tip of the sword flew back and pierced the black-clothed assassin's throat.

Before the blood spurted out, a ball of golden flame burst out from his body, which immediately turned into fly ash and dissipated in the air.

The little maid looked at everything in front of her in shock.

At that moment just now, she thought that she was bound to die.

As a result, it was the assassin who died.

Who saved me?

Panting in horror, she looked around.

The night was quiet and the breeze was blowing, as if nothing had happened.

The palace guards at the gate of the chaiyuan still did not respond.

She opened her eyes wide, and then suddenly realized that her son would be in danger. When she rushed to the door, she found that the door had been locked, and the entire firewood courtyard was also shrouded in a formation, making it impossible to get out.

"Chen'er..."

The young maid's tears welled up again.

During the long and miserable years in the past, she thought she was used to this kind of life of being scorned and ridiculed by countless people, but when her son was taken away, she realized that there are still many sufferings in life, it is you No matter how strong you are, you can't bear it.

The assassin's words made her realize that although her son was not dead, he would be in danger.

But she herself seemed unable to change anything.

Who can save their mother and child?

Feeling sad, she looked at the full moon in the sky, and her thoughts suddenly became clearer.

Because she suddenly realized that in this empty palace, there was only one person who could save him from the black-clothed assassin just now.

In her eyes, there was a sudden hopeful light.

If that person, since he took the initiative to save her, maybe he is also willing to take the initiative to save his son?

If that person is willing to take action, all problems can be easily solved.

The young maid couldn't get out of the firewood courtyard, so she had no choice but to kneel down in the direction of [Xiaoyaoju], clasped her hands together, and begged loudly with the most pious gesture.

"His Royal Highness, did you save me?"

"I beg you, be merciful and save Chen'er. He is still a child and doesn't understand anything. Our mother and son don't want to be rich and powerful. As long as he can live, no matter what the price is, this servant is willing to pay..."

"Please."

"His Royal Highness, please..."

But no matter how much she begged, there was no response from Xiaoyaoju.

The young maid remained on her knees.

With a ten thousandth chance in his heart, he prayed and begged.

Tears wet the ground in front of her.

She kowtowed, her forehead was broken and bleeding.

Blood mixed with tears covered that delicate and gentle white jade face.

...

...

It was late at night.

Zheng Fu.

Deep courtyard.

The shock on Zheng Yuan's face gradually disappeared under the dim light, and turned into an unprecedented solemnity, and asked slowly: "Are you sure?"

A banished immortal bodyguard kneeling on the ground respectfully said: "The respondent will return. When the assassin died, the golden fairy fire burned his body and instantly turned into fly ash, just like the battle in the imperial city that day. Except for the one who shot, Can't think of any other explanation."

Zheng Yuan's figure swayed.

This is bad news that couldn't be worse.

He forced himself to calm down, quickly analyzing the possibilities of various situations in his mind.

Is it the one who wants to protect the mother and child?

If that's the case, not to mention their Zheng family, even if the four major families in the imperial city unite, they won't be able to stand up to that one's finger.

"No, that one doesn't have to protect the mother and child."

Zheng Yuan thought about it, and suddenly noticed another thing.

To send someone to assassinate that lowly maid, besides the assassin, there are several other masters from Zheng Guozhang's residence who are outside to support him, and at the same time, some bodyguards sent by the Queen are also on the side to cooperate.

If anyone wants to protect Prince Chen's mother and son, it's not just assassins who will die.

Those experts who had witnessed the assassin's death outside, as well as the dozen or so palace guards guarding the chai courtyard, none of them could survive under the wrath of that assassin.

After all, that person's methods are ruthless.

The allied forces of the Caochuan Mansion were bleeding like rivers under the imperial city that day, how terrible was it?

"There's only one explanation."

"The chaiyuan is too close to [Xiaoyaoju], the assassin attacked and disturbed that person's cleanliness, so he was killed!"

"It's reasonable. Before me, I was eager for quick success, didn't think carefully, and hurriedly killed people near [Xiaoyaoju], which was tantamount to slapping that person in the face. Killing the assassin was just a signal."

Zheng Yuan's thoughts turned, and he gradually calmed down.

At first, when he heard the news, he was indeed frightened by that person's reputation.

At this time, after careful analysis, I felt that the situation was not that bad.

"Go down."

Zheng Yuan waved his hand.

The captain of the guard stepped back.

For a moment, facing the shadows in the dark room, Zheng Yuan slowly asked: "Has the news been found out? Why is Your Majesty so eager to establish a reserve?"

in the dark.

"Judging from various signs, His Majesty's dragon body is ill. I'm afraid... it won't last long."

A gloomy voice came.

This time, Zheng Yuan's clear face, which was not old but covered with knife marks and notches, did not show an overly shocked expression like before.

He stared at the flickering light in front of him for a while, before saying, "No wonder, no wonder... Is this matter related to that person?"

In the darkness, the gloomy voice was silent for a long while before continuing: "The one who is unparalleled in loyalty to the current Holy Majesty should not do such a thing. I am afraid that it was the poison planted by the great eunuch Li Sun in His Majesty back then. When it happens, even that one has nothing to do."

"well."

Zheng Yuan sighed.

After a pause, he seemed to be talking to himself again: "Sometimes, I really hope that my Zheng family sent people to participate in the Sword Appreciation Conference at the Zhujian Pavilion... Your Majesty can meet that person in this life, and you will also be able to meet him." It can be regarded as using up all the good fortune of this sound."

In the darkness, the shadowy voice was silent.

Zheng Yuan took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.

In the next instant, his whole body suddenly became sharper, as if a sharp sword that was originally hidden in the scabbard suddenly came out of the scabbard, revealing its sharpness, and the whole secret room felt suddenly bright.

"Hehe, since he is loyal to His Majesty, that's the best. Regardless of his strength, he is just a courtier after all, and he can go anywhere."

Zheng Yuan stood up, smiled and said: "Our chance has come, let's go on and follow the plan."

...

Almost the same time.

Gao Shengwei, the patriarch of Gao Mansion, one of the four major families, also received news of the death of the black-clothed assassin in the secret hall.

Gaofu's news network is extremely clever.

During the discussion with the disciples, he also came to a conclusion similar to that of Zheng Yuan.

He also noticed the signs that the emperor's life was not long.

"Tomorrow's court meeting is the most important thing. Although Mu Mu is a prince, he is only a foreign surname, and his qualifications are too shallow. He is not qualified to participate in the establishment of the crown prince. Hehe, his surname is Mu, and he has not always called himself Are you loyal? At this time, you should stop talking nonsense."

Gao Shengwei smiled confidently.

In this world, there are many people, no matter how capable they are, they are always controlled by others and trapped in the principles and laws in their hearts.

Just like Mu Mu, who has great abilities but is foolishly loyal to the emperor.

No matter how capable this kind of person is, it doesn't matter.

It only takes a few wrists to play him in the palm of your hand.

...

...

Yang Mansion, one of the four major families.

Yang Jia fell into a long silence after listening to his subordinate's report.

"Plan canceled."

He stretched his waist beautifully, yawned again, and said lazily: "Send someone to tell my lazy sister that he must not interfere with this matter, and be his concubine honestly." Enough."

The men withdrew.

"Ahh... catch up on sleep first, at the meeting tomorrow, just shrink your head and watch the excitement... Hee hee, beauty, my husband is here."

He was shirtless and wrapped in a coat, and went to the backyard.

...

...

Until dawn.

When it was almost dawn, the gate outside the chai courtyard opened.

A burly man wearing a golden bright fairy armor, full of majesty, came in with a dozen guards, and was shocked when he saw the young maid kneeling on the ground with blood on her face.

"what happened?"

He looked back at the palace guards behind him.

"This... the subordinates dare not enter the courtyard, so..." Several guards guarding outside the gate were obedient and did not dare to lift their heads.

"You bastard, get the hell out of here, and get twenty whips from Zha Tianjian."

The burly man shouted.

The guards quickly retreated.

The burly man walked over, bowed his head and saluted, and said: "Madam Yin, Gao Yingyuan, Commander of the Imperial Palace Guard, welcomes Madam into the palace in the name of Your Majesty."

The young maid who had been praying all night and did not get any answer from 【Xiaoyaoju】turned her head to look at Gao Yingyuan, stood up suddenly, and said in a trembling voice, "Chen'er...is he still alive?"

Gao Yingyuan said: "Prince Chen is under the care of the officials, and he is safe and sound. Mrs. Yin, please tidy up your makeup, and enter the palace with the officials to face the saint, and participate in the court meeting."

Maid Yin was taken aback: "Participate in the court meeting?"

She is a humble little maid, what qualifications does she have to participate in the court meeting?

"What the hell... happened?" she asked.

Gao Yingyuan said: "I don't know, Madam has gone, so I will know...Come here, help Madam Yin to dress up."

Outside the chai courtyard, a maid from the palace came in at the sound.

The four nimble maids brought in the simple palace clothes that had been prepared long ago, waited for Maid Yin who was in a hurry to put them on, and put on a little makeup, and they were quickly finished.

This is not to say that the palace treats Maid Yin well.

Any courtier who participates in the court meeting must pay attention to appearance so as not to affect the royal dignity.

Since the emperor ordered that Maid Yin would also attend the court meeting, she had to dress up in advance, it was just a routine.

As for Maid Yin who kowtowed all night, her broken face recovered after a little exercise, and her blood was regenerated—after all, she has a slave cultivation base.

About half an hour later.

After passing many checkpoints and guards' interrogation, Maid Yin was taken to the imperial hall.

She has never been to this hall that symbolizes the highest power of the Huangjiya God Dynasty.

Even the air here has the power to suffocate her.

She was shaking nervously.

Especially when entering the main hall, when the majestic and imposing ministers in the hall looked at her, their gazes seemed to be like sharp swords, trying to pierce through her thousands of swords.

Under Gao Yingyuan's leadership, Maid Yin entered the imperial hall in a daze.

"mother……"

An incomparably surprised child's voice sounded.

Maid Yin raised her head reflexively, and saw her son, dressed in clean and nice clothes, standing on the steps on the right under the dragon chair, under the 'guard' of several eunuchs, saw her, Couldn't help but speak out.
