Prime Minister Liu was startled and subconsciously tried to snatch the imperial seal from Ji Yunhuan's hand.
Xu Junzheng immediately protected Ji Yunhuan and retreated. He had been in the northwest border for many years, and the people there were rough and unsophisticated. He had also learned some martial arts and was no longer the weak scholar who could not even lift a finger.
Ji Yunhuan tapped her toes and retreated faster than Xu Junzheng.
[As light as a swallow] is not just about making your body slender. With a little practice, it can become a superb skill of lightness.
It’s just that Ji Yunhuan doesn’t need it on weekdays, but it came in handy today.
Outside the Taiji Palace, roars shook the sky, and countless soldiers in armor rushed in.
They were filled with a murderous and decisive spirit, completely different from the guards kept in the Princess's Mansion. With just one encounter, the rebels threw away their weapons and were defeated clearly.
A group of death warriors are guarding the eldest princess and trying their best to fight their way out.
Qing'er stayed by the eldest princess's side all the time, using her flesh and blood to block the eldest princess.
At this moment, the eldest princess was unusually calm. Even though she was surrounded by a chaotic army, she still maintained a noble demeanor and did not show any sign of panic.
She touched Qing'er's face. All the disguise on Qing'er's face had been removed, revealing the red skin underneath.
A scar extended from his forehead, running through his tall nose bridge, leaving a hideous mark on his face.
If it had been just a little more tilted, Qing'er's right eye would have been completely ruined.
The princess stroked the scar and whispered, "Qing'er, do you hate me?"
Qing'er stared greedily at the eldest princess's stern face, immersed in her meager tenderness. Even if he was going to die in the next second, he would be happy to do so.
"No! How could Qing'er hate you? It was Qing'er who did something wrong and brought shame to Your Highness."
The eldest princess sighed softly, "What a silly child, you should hate me."
"I am different from you. I am the eldest princess of the royal family. I would rather die standing than live on my knees! Back then, the Third Prince was nothing but a stray dog despised by the Emperor. I am the Emperor's most beloved child. Without my support, how could he have ascended the throne?"
"I have lived a life of glory and honor, and I will never bow to anyone. It's just a matter of winners and losers. I accept defeat with all my heart, and I have no regrets."
The eldest princess raised her hand and slapped Qing'er hard, "Get lost! Your face really disgusts me!"
Qing'er stood there in a daze, her eyes full of confusion, but in the end she still persevered and chased after him.
The eldest princess smiled coldly, "He's a burden, get him out of here!"
The assassin took the order and kicked Qing'er in the heart. Qing'er flew out like a kite with a broken string and spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".
The eldest princess's back was getting farther and farther away, and the assassins fell one after another. The eldest princess had been surrounded by soldiers, and it wouldn't be long before she would be buried here.
Qing'er covered her face and cried bitterly.
He was smart since he was a child. After learning a few words, he studied medical books and concocted better aphrodisiacs. Otherwise, the brothel owner would have sold him long ago and would not have kept him until he grew up.
That day, the madam said she would sell him no matter what. He stood naked on the platform and looked around, watching those people competing to bid. Only a woman with a noble temperament looked at him from afar, her eyes tender and affectionate, but she never made a bid.
At that moment he knew that he could finally escape from this cage.
So he was well-behaved and docile, and did not poison the old man and run away. He was waiting, waiting for the noble woman to save him from suffering.
He was just a cheap prostitute, where could he go if he ran away? It would be better for him to follow this woman, so that he wouldn't have to worry about anything in the future.
He had no parents, no relatives, and no friends. His only concern was for the eldest princess. He belonged to the eldest princess's mansion, and no one dared to look down on him or insult him when he walked around. For him, this was the best of days.
How could Qing'er not understand what the princess meant? His life was given by the princess, and the princess wanted him to live.
He has served the eldest princess for many years. The eldest princess never hides anything from him, and he knows all of her secrets.
As long as he cried out his hatred for the eldest princess in front of His Majesty and then betrayed the eldest princess as a matter of course, he could survive.
He wiped away his tears and murmured, "Your Highness, I'm sorry. This time, Qing'er doesn't want to listen to you."
Qing'er fell onto the platform, dying. He looked so weak and half-dead that no one came to catch him.
Everyone was busy capturing more important figures, so Prime Minister Liu was naturally the one who received special attention. He was tied up and surrounded by soldiers to guard him.
The ministers involved in the rebellion were also arrested, the guards of the princess's mansion were all taken down, and Yu'er was pinned to the ground, unable to move...
Only he, a lowly male favorite, would not be considered a great achievement if he was captured. It would be better to capture a few more palace maids.
Qing'er stood up tremblingly and rushed towards Ji Yunhuan with all her strength!
As long as he took the queen hostage, he could escort the eldest princess away.
The word "Fu" in Ji Yunhuan's palm flashed rapidly, emitting a dazzling golden light. A gust of wind blew, and the medicine powder scattered with the wind.
"Protect the emperor! Protect the queen!"
Xu Junzheng roared, and more and more soldiers rushed towards the platform. Before Qing'er could touch Ji Yunhuan, she was captured.
With a whoosh, a sharp sword shot out from a distance and hit Qing'er right in the middle of her eyebrows.
Qing'er fell on his back. In his hazy consciousness, he seemed to see the eldest princess running towards him.
There were huge crowds of people around and the noise was endless, just like the night he was sold many years ago. He saw the eldest princess at a glance through the crowd.
