Seeing the arrow getting closer, Empress Xian quickly pulled out the hairpin from her hair, raised her hand and threw it hard in the direction of the arrow.
With a "ding" sound, the flying arrow collided with the hairpin and fell to the ground immediately.
"Luo'er, you're not scared, are you?"
Empress Xian turned to look at Yu Yiluo in the emperor's arms and asked softly.
"Mother, little..."
Before Yu Yiluo could finish her reminder, Empress Xian noticed another arrow flying towards her from the corner of her eye. The tenderness on her face disappeared completely, and when the arrow was about to approach, she raised her hand and firmly clamped the sharp arrow.
The whole action was done in one go, as if it was not an arrow piercing through the air.
Everyone who wanted to help was dumbfounded.
Concubine Rou asked Concubine De and Concubine Shu beside her in a daze.
"My two sisters, was the person who just knocked down the arrow with a hairpin and caught it with her bare hands really Concubine Xian? Am I seeing things right?"
Didn’t you say that Concubine Xian doesn’t know martial arts?
"That's right."
Concubine Shu looked at Concubine Xian intently, "Look at the smooth and flowing moves that Concubine Xian just performed. Not only do she know how to do it, but she's also very good at it. Anyway, I can't even last three moves with her."
"No wonder when we were playing mahjong, Concubine Xian heard someone outside, but we didn't notice."
De Fei excitedly pulled Shu Fei and said, "Sister Xian Fei is the hidden master."
【Ahhh, is mother so powerful? 】
The emperor's mind was focused on Concubine Xian, whose hair was flying and holding an arrow between her slender fingertips.
His first reaction was not that Concubine Xian was deceiving the emperor, but why was Concubine Xian so powerful? Are all the concubines in his harem so powerful?
Empress Xian had been in the palace for so many years, but he had never realized that she knew martial arts, and Jin Ting'an and General Jin seemed to be unaware of the fact that Empress Xian knew martial arts.
"Luo'er, it's okay."
Empress Xian turned her head and looked at Yu Yiluo, who was lying in the emperor's arms with her eyes wide open and not saying a word, with a look of worry on her face.
Could it be that you were scared?
[Oh my god, I'm shocked. My mother actually knows martial arts and is so powerful?]
[How come I didn't notice it at all? That swift move just now definitely shows that he's a master.]
[Looks like I don't have to worry about my mother when I go to Li Country. I can even hold her thighs tightly.]
Ahhh, what a shame I don't have a camera. That scene just now was so cool. Mom heroically saving the girl, and Dad's dumbfounded look was so funny.
[I wonder who is more powerful in a fight between Mom and Dad.]
Empress Xian: “…”
Luo'er really thought of fighting against the emperor.
Fortunately, Luo'er was not scared.
At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps gradually approached.
Wang Yu, the deputy commander of the imperial guards, came with a team of imperial guards, walked in front of the emperor, and knelt on one knee.
"I am late in coming to your rescue, Your Majesty, please punish me."
The emperor glanced at the arrow on the ground and asked, "What happened?"
"Your Majesty, someone attempted to break into the palace. They were armed with bows and arrows. This arrow was shot while attacking one of the brothers, but it went astray and ended up in Concubine Xian's Drunken Flower Palace, disturbing your majesty."
"Has he been caught?"
"The others we captured all committed suicide by biting themselves. The remaining one did manage to get some information, but he only managed to say one word about the Qiang Kingdom before biting his tongue and killing himself."
The emperor did not let Wang Yu continue the investigation and waved his hand for him to leave.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Feng Hongyu folded her hands in front of her and clasped them tightly together, feeling a vague sense of unease in her heart.
She always felt that these people were related to Li Country.
If he is really from Qiang country, he would not be stupid enough to reveal his identity.
[Is this Li Kingdom's spy seriously ill? He was hiding, so he had to break into the palace. Now, he's dead.]
[I was turning a blind eye to you and letting you live longer, but you kept rushing to die.]
"Shufei, please let them leave first. The princes and I still have something to discuss."
"yes."
Although Concubine Shu had many questions in her mind, she also knew that this was not the time for them to chat.
Wait for Concubine Shu and Concubine De to leave.
Only Concubine Xian, Yu Yiluo, the Emperor, and several princes were left in Zuihua Palace.
As soon as the few people left, the third prince could no longer hold back and started coughing violently.
"Third brother, are you okay?"
The second prince supported him.
"It's okay," the Third Prince waved his hand. "It's a good thing that Concubine Xian reacted quickly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Empress Xian bowed her head and apologized, "I do know martial arts, but I concealed it not for any ulterior motive, but because of my mother's request."
Her mother started teaching her martial arts when she was very young, but she did it in secret, even from her father and brother.
She didn't know why her mother asked her to do this, but she just did as she was told over the years.
If Luo'er hadn't been in danger just now, she would probably have continued hiding.
Her mother never told her why she hid the fact of the martial arts competition until her death.
"Get up, I don't blame you. Wait for a chance to fight me."
Empress Xian stood up in surprise and nodded in agreement.
After entering the palace, there were many people around, and she had less time to practice martial arts, so her sensitivity decreased a lot. She should not be able to hurt the emperor if she fought with him.
[Daddy really wants to compete with Mommy, I don’t want to lose to Mommy and become an emo again.]
"But my grandmother taught my mother martial arts, so why didn't she let her use it? And she kept it a secret from my grandfather and uncle. Could it be related to my grandmother's background?"
[No matter what, I'll just have to figure it out once and for all when I go to Li Country.]
"Father, those who broke into the palace at night were from the Li Kingdom. I knew about this but failed to stop them, and they almost hurt Luo'er and you."
The prince blamed himself.
"That arrow can't hurt me and Luo'er." He is not a fool, so he will naturally dodge it.
At that time, he thought that he could finally show off in front of Luo'er, but Concubine Xian appeared in front of him in a flash, her movements were faster than that of an arrow, leaving him no chance to show off at all.
"It was because I wanted to keep those people that the Crown Prince didn't touch them."
Yu Yiluo quickly spoke up, "Crown Prince, there's no need to blame yourself."
If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have known my mother had such a thick thigh. I love my mother so much, a beautiful woman with both literary and martial skills.
[From today on, I feel that Daddy is even less worthy of Mommy.]
emperor:"……"
"Luo'er, do you still want to keep these people?"
Yu Yiluo put her hand on her chin, thought for a moment and nodded.
"Keep it, there probably aren't many left."
…
at the same time.
"I told you to treat me well but you refused to listen. Now look what happened. All your brothers are dead."
The thin man standing opposite Lao Zhu was accusing Lao Zhu with an angry look on his face.
"Don't play dead. Now tell me what to do. Our brothers are dead, and it's not safe for us to stay here. If the emperor finds out about us, it will be a complete failure."
"Calm down first. Don't you still have Feng Hongyu?"
Lao Zhu handed him a glass of water.
"Do you think Feng Hongyu will be unaffected if our identities are truly discovered?"
"You mean if Feng Hongyu really doubts us, will she help us?"
Lao Zhu nodded, "And didn't you say that the brothers didn't reveal anything?"
