Qiao Xiuyuan's martial arts skills have always been excellent. Although he can't beat Ye Zeyu, he can easily exchange a few blows with him!

He only needs to exchange a few blows and buy himself some time!

Qiao Xiuyuan's men quickly surrounded Ye Zeyu and blocked his attack, while Qiao Xiuyuan took advantage of the moment to rush into the Yong'an Prince's Mansion.

Xiao Ce and the others rushed over to help, but Qiao Xiuyuan's men, just like Qiao Xiuyuan himself, were like madmen, using ruthless moves and not dodging at all.

This desperate tactic made it impossible for them to break through in a short time.

Meanwhile, in the Yong'an Prince's Mansion.

The guards had all been killed or wounded, leaving only Mai Kun and another guard desperately protecting Su Muxi.

They were relieved when they heard that Ye Zeyu had arrived, but Qiao Xiuyuan's men did not stop their actions at all when they heard that Ye Zeyu was coming. Instead, their killing moves became even more intense.

Despite his numerous wounds, McQueen protected Su Muxi while shouting, "Your Highness, run! The Prince will be storming in soon... Ah!"

Before McQueen could finish speaking, he was slashed to the ground by Qiao Xiuyuan, who rushed in.

"McQueen!"

Su Muxi exclaimed in surprise.

Immediately afterwards, another guard was also cut down to the ground.

Without the protection of the guards, Zhong Bin and Bai Zhi and their group quickly stepped forward to protect Su Muxi, while A Zhu rushed towards Qiao Xiuyuan with the porcelain pillow in her hand.

Unable to speak, she could only utter "ah ah" sounds, her face filled with resentment and determination as she rushed towards Qiao Xiuyuan with her small body.

"Ah Zhu! No!"

Su Muxi roared, but in the blink of an eye, Azhu had already died under Qiao Xiuyuan's knife.

"Qiao Xiuyuan! You deserve to die!"

Su Muxi pushed aside Bai Zhi and Zhong Bin in front of her and was about to rush towards Qiao Xiuyuan, while Qiao Xiuyuan was also approaching Su Muxi step by step.

Bai Zhi held onto Su Muxi tightly, while Zhong Bin rushed forward, ready to hug Qiao Xiuyuan.

But how could Zhong Bin, who didn't know martial arts, stop Qiao Xiuyuan?

Before they could even get close to Qiao Xiuyuan, they, like Azhu, collapsed to the ground.

Bai Zhi watched Zhong Bin die, biting her lip tightly until it bled, but her eyes remained resolute.

Even if it meant death, she would never let someone as disgusting as Qiao Xiuyuan touch the princess!

Unless you step over her dead body!

"Miss, I want to follow you in my next life!"

After saying this to Su Muxi with a smile, Bai Zhi pushed Su Muxi away and ran towards Qiao Xiuyuan.

He had intended to buy Su Muxi some time with his own death, but an unexpected event occurred.

Someone actually chopped off Qiao Xiuyuan's right arm with a single blow!

Qiao Xiuyuan never expected that someone would attack him from behind. He turned his head and was surprised to see that it was Chang Zhong.

"It's you!"

Chang Zhong sneered and swung his sword again, but this time Qiao Xiuyuan dodged it. The imperial guards in the courtyard protected Qiao Xiuyuan, while Chang Zhong also held his sword in front of Su Muxi.

"Qiao Xiuyuan, it's time for you to pay your debts!"

Chang Zhong said fiercely.

At this moment, the way he looked at Qiao Xiuyuan was no longer looking at his master!

He's clearly looking at his enemy!

Qiao Xiuyuan looked at Chang Zhong and sneered, "Ha! I should have guessed long ago that you would have spared Qiao Ziming's life after making your move! So you did it on purpose!"

At this moment, Chang Zhong stopped pretending and said coldly, "That's right! I deliberately spared Qiao Ziming's life because only if Qiao Ziming returned to the capital alive could I expose your sinister and vicious side to the Emperor!"

"You betrayed me because of Qiao Ziming?"

Qiao Xiuyuan asked in a deep voice.

But Chang Zhong said, "You members of the Qiao family are not worthy of my service! From beginning to end, I have always been His Highness Prince Yu's man!"

His Highness Prince Yu had long seen through your wicked intentions and wanted to transfer you away from the Xuanwu Army. It was only because General Lin insisted on protecting you that you were able to stay.

His Highness Prince Yu knew that General Lin was stubborn, so he chose me and asked me to find an opportunity to get close to you. I never expected that you would do such a heinous thing!

Nineteen years ago, I wanted to kill you with one stroke, but I knew I couldn't! I must live, gain your trust, and find an opportunity to clear the name of His Highness Prince Yu and General Lin!

I originally thought that Prince Yong'an approached Su Muxi because he knew Su Muxi's identity, and he almost helped you do something irreversible!

Fortunately, Prince Yong'an arrived in time, and I was able to see him clearly!

You, Qiao Xiuyuan, are selfish, despicable, and shameless! And your offspring are too!

Only Prince Yong'an, with his compassion and righteousness, is worthy of taking care of General Lin's daughter!

Su Muxi never expected that Chang Zhong was actually one of Prince Yu's men. He had been by Qiao Xiuyuan's side for so many years, actually looking for an opportunity to clear Prince Yu's name.

Although she had never met Prince Yu, judging from the fact that so many people still thought of him and wanted to clear his name after nineteen years, His Highness Prince Yu must be a very respectable person!

Qiao Xiuyuan had lost a lot of blood and his face was as pale as paper, but there was no sign of him giving up.

He snatched the steel knife from the guard beside him with his left hand and sneered at Chang Zhong, "No matter whose side you are, you're still just a dog in this life! Tonight, no one can stop Ying'er and me from dying together! Not even the Heavenly King himself!"

After saying that, he rushed towards Chang Zhong like a madman.

His guards also joined the attack.

Su Muxi tore off the bracelet on her wrist and took advantage of the chaos to shake off Bai Zhi. Just as she was determined to die with Qiao Xiuyuan and was about to run in front of him,

A blade tip pierced through Qiao Xiuyuan's chest.

Qiao Xiuyuan was stabbed through the chest from behind and was certain to die!

Qiao Xiuyuan looked down at the tip of the knife in his chest, then looked up at Su Muxi.

This scene seemed to gradually overlap with the scene from nineteen years ago.

Ying'er looked at him with the same disgust in her eyes.

But what did he do wrong?

He just likes her and wants to be with her!

If you disliked him, why did you smile at him, bandage his wounds, and prepare medicine for him?

As Qiao Xiuyuan gradually knelt down, the person standing behind him appeared.

Su Muxi looked at Ye Zeyu's disheveled hair and masked appearance, and saw the bracelet he was holding fall to the ground. Then she rushed into the embrace that made her feel very safe.

"Ye Ziyu, I thought I'd never see you again!"

Holding Su Muxi in his arms, Ye Zeyu suddenly felt a sense of joy, as if he had survived a disaster.

Xi'er is alright, that's so good!
