Chapter 90 Blocking the Knife
Before Liu Yuetang could even react, Jiang rushed out like a tiger.
She pulled out a dagger from behind and rushed forward.
Liu Yuetang's eyes lit up, and she quickly stood behind Xiao Heng, shouting, "Your Majesty, be careful—"
Xiao Heng turned around when he heard the voice, but before he could see the scene clearly, he felt his foot trip and the woman pounced on him heavily.
Then there was a flash of light, and a sharp dagger came into view.
Xiao Heng widened his eyes, raised his foot and kicked Jiang.
Unfortunately, it was still a step too late. The dagger lightly cut through Liu Yuetang's clothes, and bright red blood immediately spread out. She collapsed powerlessly in Xiao Heng's arms.
Jiang and the dagger fell to the ground together. Seeing that Liu Yuetang was fine, she stood up unwillingly, holding the dagger and rushed forward again.
Bai Jieyu, who was standing aside, had just stood firm when she saw the crazy woman rushing towards her again. She immediately raised her eyebrows and wanted to fight Jiang off with her fists and feet to get the reputation of saving the emperor.
So she moved her feet back, stepped hard on the branch, and leaped lightly, as if to fly up.
But he never expected that his foot slipped, his whole body leaned backwards, and then he fell heavily to the ground.
Amid the palace maid's exclamations, Xiao Heng leaped into the air and kicked Jiang on the head.
Jiang's neck twisted, blood gushed out, and he fell to the ground and died.
In an instant, the plum garden was in chaos.
The guards came forward one after another and knelt down to apologize.
Bai Jieyu slowly stood up with the help of a palace maid, her face already pale.
Xiao Heng quickly supported her and asked with concern: "Did you fall just now? Are you okay?"
Bai Jieyu frowned tightly, unable to tell whether there was something wrong or not.
If it were in the past, her fall would naturally be a small matter.
But now that she is pregnant, she is inevitably a little delicate.
She touched her lower abdomen, feeling a little heavy and bloated, not knowing whether it was an illusion or the shock just now.
Before she could speak, Liu Zheng's horrified voice rang out: "My lady... you're bleeding."
Xiao Heng's heart suddenly sank, and he turned around to look, only to see that Liu Yuetang's clothes on her back had been stained bright red with blood.
"Tang'er..."
He stepped forward, picked her up horizontally, and walked towards the sedan chair.
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Bai covered her lower abdomen and called out sadly.
Xiao Heng turned around and glanced at her: "Jieyu Xi is injured. I will take her back to the palace first and come to see you later."
As he said that, he quickly summoned the imperial physician to Jinxiu Pavilion and Mingsexuan.
Liu Yuetang was clinging to Xiao Heng's arms. When she was about to get on the sedan chair, she raised her eyes and glanced at Bai Jieyu who was standing there in a daze and was furious.
Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly caught a glimpse of pink bloodstains on the back of Bai Jieyu's dress.
Liu Yuetang was shocked, but a hint of joy also appeared on her face.
It seems that the person behind this is indeed plotting against more than just me.
More importantly - to get rid of the royal heir in Concubine Bai's belly.
She could have shouted for help just now, and there was an 80% chance that she would have escaped this disaster.
But... she suddenly had an idea and thought of a way to have the best of both worlds.
That is rescue!
Whether Jiang wanted to kill himself or was crazy and wanted to kill everyone, he would never know.
Because Liu Yuetang always stood in front of Xiao Heng to protect him.
The moment Xiao Heng turned his head, she happened to be standing in front of him, blocking the knife for him.
On the other side, Bai Jieyu felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen, and she felt a warm current flowing from her lower body.
She covered her belly and looked down, her heart suddenly stopped and her legs went weak.
"Blood... Zipei, I'm bleeding."
Zi Pei's heart was beating like a drum, and she said in a trembling voice, "It's alright, my lady. The Emperor has sent the imperial physician to Mingse Palace. I will help you get into the sedan chair right away."
Bai Jieyu was so frightened that her face turned pale and she couldn't speak. She just nodded blankly.
Doctor Shen quickly arrived at Jinxiu Pavilion.
The scene before him made his heart skip a beat.
Concubine Xi leaned weakly on the emperor.
The emperor's face turned pale, and he held Concubine Xi's hand tightly, his face full of heartache.
According to the eunuch's description, Concubine Xi blocked the sword for the emperor...
Could it be that Concubine Xi was really seriously injured?
He hurriedly bowed, but Xiao Heng waved him off, "No need to bow. Come and treat Concubine Xi."
Seeing Xiao Heng so nervous, Doctor Shen became more certain of his thoughts and quickly put down his medicine box to take Liu Yuetang's pulse.
The pulse seemed normal, and then he looked at Liu Yuetang's injuries.
The moment he saw the injury, he was stunned for a moment, but he immediately felt relieved.
Although she did not take off her clothes due to etiquette, just one glance was enough to see the extent of Concubine Xi's injuries.
The injury was not serious and the wound was not deep, just some bleeding.
His clothes were soaked with blood, so it looked very shocking.
As for why the two were so nervous, Doctor Shen immediately understood.
It's just that one of them feels distressed, and the other makes him feel distressed.
Doctor Shen understood and said, "Fortunately, no bones were injured. However, Concubine Xi lost too much blood. Although the bleeding has stopped, the wound still needs to be carefully cared for to avoid scarring."
Hearing that it would leave a scar, Xiao Heng frowned even deeper.
"Zhou Defu, go get the best wound cream and scar cream in the warehouse."
"Get two more ginsengs to replenish Concubine Xi's qi and blood."
Liu Yuetang quickly grabbed Xiao Heng and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't finished the supplements you sent me last time..."
Before she could finish her words, she was frightened by Xiao Heng's stern look and closed her lips.
It was the first time she had seen Xiao Heng's stern eyes, but when she looked closely, she actually sensed a hint of heartache and anger.
Doctor Shen tactfully withdrew.
The two looked at each other and fell into a brief silence.
Xiao Heng's throat rolled: "Do you know what's wrong?"
Liu Yuetang pursed her cherry lips and fluttered her thick and long eyelashes slightly.
He seemed frightened, and didn't know how to start.
Without waiting for her to answer, Xiao Heng said solemnly: "Why do I need a woman like you to protect me?"
"I am the Son of Heaven, and I possess martial arts skills. Even if she wields swords and arrows today, I have a way to deal with them."
Liu Yuetang met his gaze, and each word she spoke pierced Xiao Heng's heart: "How could I have thought of these things at such a critical moment?"
"Even if I could think of it, I wouldn't dare gamble, not with the Emperor."
"I would rather die than see Your Majesty suffer even the slightest harm."
As soon as she finished speaking, she fell into Xiao Heng's warm arms.
Xiao Heng hugged her tightly, but didn't dare to touch her back, his chin pressed tightly against her cheek.
His lips moved, but he was speechless and didn't know how to respond.
Even though she was full of affection for him.
However, all he could give her was love and status.
He kissed her neck with his lips: "Tang'er, you are so stupid."
She was stupid, so stupid that a weak woman who could not even lift a finger actually used her body to block the knife.
She was stupid, so stupid that she lost her composure when she met me.
In fact, she is not a stupid person, but she always acts foolishly when encountering her own problems.
Countless tenderness spread in Liu Yuetang's eyes, and she smiled and said softly: "Then let this concubine remain stupid forever."
"Your Majesty is my husband, and I am willing to be your fool for the rest of my life."
