"Ahhhhhhhh!" Xia Miaoyuan was immediately frightened and burst into tears.
【What? It can’t be a ghost! 】
[Help! Second brother! Sang Qi! Come quickly!]
The black shadow raised the long knife in his hand, glared at Xia Miaoyuan fiercely, and shouted: "Monster! Die!"
As he spoke, the long sword slashed towards Xia Miaoyuan.
In desperation, Nanny Li grabbed a pillow and threw it at the black shadow.
The black shadow dodged, the knife missed, and her body hit the bedpost.
Nanny Li quickly picked up Xia Miaoyuan and jumped off the bed.
The black shadow stood up, jumped over, raised the sharp knife and stabbed at Xia Miaoyuan.
Xia Miaoyuan only felt a force hitting his back.
[It's over. Is this princess destined to die young? ]
Xia Miaoyuan closed his eyes in despair.
However, she did not wait for the severe pain.
There was a "bang" sound, and a small piece of shiny thing popped out.
The black shadow stopped moving and stared at the knife blankly, only to find that the sharp tip of the knife was broken.
The black shadow howled angrily, threw the knife aside, ran a few steps, and grabbed Li Ma's clothes.
She was like a bloodthirsty beast. She knocked Li Ma to the ground with one punch and snatched Xia Miaoyuan from Li Ma's arms.
Xia Miaoyuan used all his strength, kicking and struggling desperately.
But she was just a child less than one year old, and the power gap between her and a mad adult was huge.
The black shadow grabbed Xia Miaoyuan's neck with two skinny hands.
"Die! Die! Die! You monster!" the black shadow roared.
"Kill the monster, I am the Queen of Daxia, hahahaha, only I am the Queen!"
Xia Miaoyuan felt severe pain in his neck, he couldn't breathe, and his whole face and head felt swollen and uncomfortable.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the shadow's face.
【Ah! It turned out to be that demon concubine! 】
Xia Miaoyuan was shocked. The person who broke into Kunning Palace in the middle of the night to assassinate her was actually Jiang Qiqiu, who had been banished to the cold palace!
[Am I destined to die at the hands of the demon concubine and never grow up? ]
Xia Miaoyuan only felt his vision a little blurred, and a feeling of suffocation swept over his whole body.
At this time, Matron Li supported her head and struggled to stand up, shouting at the top of her voice: "Help! There's an assassin! Quick, help!"
While shouting, she picked up a vase, raised it high, and smashed it hard on Jiang Qiqiu's head.
With a loud bang, the vase shattered on Jiang Qiqiu's head.
Jiang Qiqiu shook her body twice, but the strength in her hands did not loosen at all.
She turned around and glared at Li Ma Ma fiercely, blood flowing from her head.
In an instant, Jiang Qiqiu's face was covered in blood, and her hideous face like a demon made her look particularly scary.
Nanny Li was so frightened that she shuddered.
At this time, the second prince walked in, holding his head with one hand and staggering with a sword in his hand.
He raised his sword and stabbed Jiang Qiqiu in the back.
"Ah!" Jiang Qiqiu howled in pain and turned to look at the second prince.
In an instant, Jiang Qiqiu loosened her grip and Xia Miaoyuan fell to the ground.
Jiang Qiqiu looked down at her chest and saw a shiny sword tip piercing through her chest, with red liquid flowing down the wound.
She covered her wounds with her hands, and the blood soon stained her clothes red.
"Only I am the queen, the queen of Great Xia, hahahaha..." Jiang Qiqiu shouted wildly, but her voice became softer halfway through.
"Bang!" Jiang Qiqiu fell straight to the ground.
"Are you okay, sister?" The second prince forced himself to come to Xia Miaoyuan.
Xia Miaoyuan covered her neck with her little hands and coughed uncomfortably.
[Damn it, if it had been any later, this princess would have been dead.]
Nanny Li had also recovered and held Xia Miaoyuan in her arms.
She couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears: "I'm so scared!"
At this time, several guards with swords ran in from outside.
The leader asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
The Second Prince pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "There's an assassin."
The guards went forward to check and found that Jiang Qiqiu was already dead.
The guards went to check everywhere in Kunning Palace and found that all the palace maids and eunuchs were unconscious.
An incense stick later, the Queen and Xia Zhengqi received the news that the princess had been assassinated.
Xia Zhengqi didn't care that he was still running a fever, and rushed to Kunning Palace with the queen to see his daughter.
When the emperor and empress arrived, the palace maids and eunuchs had already been woken up and were kneeling in the courtyard with confused looks on their faces.
"Your Majesty, Empress, please spare my life!" When the palace maids saw the emperor coming, they all kowtowed.
The emperor and empress didn't care about these things and went straight to see their daughter.
Xia Miaoyuan's bedroom was already a mess.
On the ground, there were knocked-over chairs, broken porcelain pieces, scattered quilts, and a shocking pool of blood.
"Why is there blood!" When Xia Zhengqi saw the pool of blood on the ground, his body stiffened instantly and his legs went weak, as if he had thought of the worst outcome.
Eunuch Debao immediately supported him.
Although the queen did not ask, she was stunned when she saw the pool of blood and covered her mouth in horror.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. This is the assassin's blood. The princess is unharmed." A guard reported.
After hearing this, the emperor and empress's expressions relaxed.
At this time, the second prince was resting in the queen's main room, holding the frightened Xia Miaoyuan.
The emperor and empress rushed in and saw their daughter was safe and sound, and they burst into tears of joy.
"You scared me to death..." The Queen cried and hugged Xia Miaoyuan in her arms, kissing her daughter's little face hard.
