The assassin didn't expect Yuan Zhao to react so quickly. His face changed and he suddenly pulled back, trying to attack again.
But how could Yuan Zhao give her a chance?
She turned her hand back and twisted the assassin's wrist fiercely, then bang! She threw him to the ground!
"ah--!"
The assassin cried out in pain and struggled to get up again, but Yuan Zhao had already stepped on her shoulder, with a cold gleam in his eyes.
At the same time, seeing that the matter was exposed, several other "midwives" drew daggers from their sleeves and rushed towards Yuan Zhao!
Yuan Zhao couldn't defeat the enemy alone, so he could only fight to the death to protect Song Yunci.
With a "swish", a dagger in the hand of a "midwife" stabbed straight into Yuan Zhao's arm, cutting through his sleeve and leaving a long knife wound.
Bright red blood gushed out instantly.
"Your Highness!" Biyun rushed in upon hearing the noise in the house, horrified, and suddenly drew out her sword to meet the enemy!
The room suddenly became chaotic, and Song Yunci, struggling with the last bit of sanity in the severe pain, his heartbeat accelerated rapidly as he weakly watched the thrilling scene in front of him.
There was an assassin among the midwives!
She endured the severe pain and spoke with difficulty: "Hurry... hurry and save my child..."
Yuan Zhao's heart was shocked, and he glanced at her pale face from the corner of his eyes. He didn't care about his own wounds and said sternly:
"Gan Tang! Bi Yun! Protect the Crown Princess! Don't let anyone else escape!"
"Yes!" Biyun responded and swung her sword to meet the oncoming assassin.
At this moment, Yuan Zhao's eyes were cold, and he had already picked up the scissors on the midwife's tray and suddenly turned his wrist -
Stab straight at the throat of the assassin on the ground!
At the same time, a melee broke out outside the hospital.
A large number of assassins broke into the princess's mansion.
Although there were many guards in the princess's mansion, they were suddenly attacked by a large number of assassins and were forced to retreat step by step.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Mo Yu shouted loudly, and swept his long sword across, forcing a man in black to retreat. Then he stabilized his position and shouted loudly,
"Protect the main courtyard! Don't let the assassin get close to the Crown Princess and His Highness!"
But these assassins were obviously well prepared, their actions were swift and brutal, and there were many of them. They did not look like ordinary killers at all, but more like well-trained assassins.
Mo Feng knocked down a man with a knife, and glanced at the gate of the mansion, but found that it was also blocked by people, and there was no one coming to help from outside!
His heart sank.
This group of assassins not only came for the Crown Princess and Yuan Zhao, but also obviously knew the defense arrangements of the Princess's Mansion very well, and even the news was cut off!
“Oh no!”
He gritted his teeth, swung his sword, and fought again, his eyes fixed on the direction of the main courtyard.
In the main courtyard of the princess's mansion, Biyun was already fighting with several assassins.
Daggers flew and knives flashed. Although she was very skilled, she was outnumbered and was forced to retreat step by step.
"Mo Xue!" she shouted, "Go call for backup!"
"The gate of the mansion has been blocked, and no one outside can get in!" Mo Xue panted and threw away a fallen man in black.
Biyun's eyes turned fierce, and she said in a cold voice: "Then kill them!"
She suddenly leaped up, slashed with both swords, and forced an assassin back several steps. Then she dodged to protect the main courtyard entrance, and the cold light of the sword flashed.
"Want to enter the main courtyard? Step over me first!"
At the same time, in the inner courtyard, Yuan Zhao had kicked down the last assassin who rushed over, and the scissors accurately pierced the opponent's throat!
Blood splattered on the white handkerchief, and the assassin fell to the ground, twitching and dead.
She panted slightly and looked at Song Yunci. Seeing that she was almost fainting from the pain, her eyes darkened. She suddenly opened the curtain and shouted at the door:
"Gan Tang! Stop them! Don't let these assassins in!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness!"
The delivery room was filled with the smell of blood. Had the midwives ever seen such a scene?
Looking at the assassins falling to the ground, with blood flowing like a river, everyone was trembling with fear and didn't even dare to move.
"Quick! Save the Crown Princess!"
There was a hint of anger in Yuan Zhao's voice. She suddenly picked up a midwife and urged her in a harsh voice.
The midwife finally came to her senses and crawled to Song Yunci's side. She reached out and checked, and her face changed instantly.
"Your Highness! Both the queen and the child are extremely weak!"
She spoke anxiously, with cold sweat on her forehead.
Yuan Zhao's heart sank, and almost instantly he took out the old ginseng he had prepared long ago, peeled off a piece, and stuffed it directly into Song Yunci's mouth.
She lowered her head, tightly grasped Song Yunci's cold hand, her voice almost choked with sobs—
"Sister-in-law! Take a breath! Hold on a little longer!"
Song Yunci's lips were pale and his eyes were already unfocused.
She opened her mouth slightly and subconsciously held the ginseng slices in her mouth, then woke up for a moment with a weak breath.
She raised her eyes, looked at Yuan Zhao, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, and her voice was as thin as a thread.
"Zhao Zhao... I... can't do it anymore..."
Her hands slowly dropped and she almost fainted.
"no!!"
Yuan Zhao's heart suddenly tightened, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
She turned around suddenly, stared at the midwife, and said sternly—
"Save him! No matter what method you use, save him!"
The midwife's legs went limp and her hands were shaking, but she was stared at by Yuan Zhao's sharp gaze. She did not dare to delay and hurriedly lowered her head to rescue the patient.
…
Outside the princess's mansion, the sound of killing was deafening. Assassins and guards were fighting each other. Blood was spilled all over the bluestone slabs, and the air was filled with a strong smell of rust.
Yuan Nan'an and Yuan Xuanhu stood on either side of Doctor Chen, back to back, looking around vigilantly.
"Cousin, let's protect the doctor and charge in from the left and right!"
Yuan Nan'an held a spear in his hand, the tip of the spear gleamed coldly, and his eyes were fierce.
Yuan Xuan held the sword in his hand, took a deep breath, tilted his head slightly, and replied in a deep voice: "Okay!"
Just as they were about to charge, they suddenly heard a roar coming from afar.
“Hoo-woo!”
I saw a snow-white figure rushing out from the crowd!
Xiaobai's four hooves were in the air, galloping over, and on its back were Yuan Qiyu and Yuan Zhizhi!
Yuan Qiyu stood up straight with his small body, his eyes wide open, and he shouted excitedly,
"Doctor, come up quickly!"
Yuan Zhizhi hugged Xiaobai's neck, and her little face was also nervous and serious as she shouted -
"Come up quickly! Quick!"
Seeing this, Yuan Nan'an and Yuan Xuan were cheered up and immediately freed up their hands to work together to clear a path.
Doctor Chen was old and moved slowly, so Fushan Fuyu quickly lifted him up and put him on Xiaobai's back.
Yuan Zhizhi was in front, and Yuan Qiyu was behind, holding Doctor Chen firmly, and not forgetting to instruct him,
"Grandpa Imperial Physician, sit tight! Don't fall!"
Xiaobai neighed, galloped on all fours, and rushed straight into the inner courtyard!
Yuan Nan'an and Yuan Xuan followed closely behind, wielding their spears and swords, and killed the assassins who blocked their way one after another.
