"Mother!" Xia Xiaoxian screamed, "Grandpa Emperor...help!"
It all happened so fast.
"Bold Anaj!" The emperor stood up, staring at Anaj and roaring, "Release Princess Ning, surrender, and I will spare your life!"
Anajji acted too quickly, and coupled with Shen Yuyao's deliberate approach, the Black Dragon Guards outside the imperial study had no time to take action, and Shen Yuyao had already become Anajji's hostage.
"Hahaha, let me go?" Anaj laughed instead of getting angry. "When you destroyed my country, did you ever let my parents go?"
"As members of the previous royal family, have you ever shown mercy to the people who died as a result of your tyranny?" The emperor stood with his hands behind his back. "I was born a commoner from Huaiyou. If it weren't for the tyranny of the previous dynasty, how could I have ascended to this throne?"
Anaj snorted coldly, but her eyes seemed thoughtful.
Seeing her silence, the emperor knew that she was moved and continued, "Although you are a princess of the previous dynasty, your literary and martial arts skills are truly the top talent!"
The emperor paused, then spoke sternly again, "If you release Princess Ning, I'll give you two choices: stay in the harem as a concubine, or go to the Eastern Palace and become a female official! If you kill her, there are still 100,000 women and children in the capital who will be buried with Princess Ning. Think carefully!"
"You bastard emperor!" Anaj cursed. "How could I, a princess, enter the palace to serve a beggar like you? Since you don't want me to kill Princess Ning, then use your head in exchange!"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. This Anaj was so bold that she dared to call the Emperor of Daxia a beggar!
Although the emperor did treat himself as a beggar, could he say that out loud?
He even wanted to exchange the emperor's head for the princess. He was really courting death!
Where is the promised top scholar?
The emperor was furious, and it would be a pity for Princess Ning, as she would definitely be buried with the princess.
"Hahaha, do you really think I'll let you go just for a little princess?" The emperor laughed in anger, "Catch me! No need to worry about Princess Ning!"
Although it was spring, the night wind was still very cold. The dagger on Shen Yuyao's neck looked like it had been frozen, and she couldn't help shivering.
Shen Yuyao has become an abandoned child!
Shen Yuyao looked around and saw the Black Dragon Guards holding Embroidered Spring Knives, cautiously approaching step by step and slowly tightening the encirclement. She could see countless Embroidered Spring Knives about to chop towards Anaji.
Anaj seemed never to have imagined that the emperor would give up Princess Ning so quickly and so completely. She had no time to react and could only retreat step by step.
Shen Yuyao was forced to retreat. At this time, her throat was slightly painful and blood was oozing out. She thought that the dagger was too sharp and had injured her flesh.
"If you kill...my...mother, I will bite you!"
Xia Xiaoxian cursed angrily, shook off the emperor's hand, passed through the gap between the Black Dragon Guards, ran straight to Anajji's side, quickly grabbed Anajji's left hand, and bit it!
Xia Xiaoxian's little face turned red, her little chest heaved rapidly, and big tears fell on Anaj's arm.
[My mother was kind enough to save her, but she actually hurt me!]
[If I hadn't lost all my immortal spirits, how could I allow you to be so arrogant?]
Baby, so fierce and aggressive!
The bite was not very painful, but it made Anaj stunned!
Shen Yuyao took advantage of her moment of distraction and suddenly leaned back, barely avoiding the dagger in her throat. With another twist of her waist, she suddenly drew a soft sword from her waist with her right hand and stabbed at Anaj. With her left hand, she quickly picked up Xia Xiaoxian.
As they passed each other, Shen Yuyao lowered her voice and whispered in Anajji's ear: "If you don't want those 100,000 women and children to die because of you, then follow me and flee to the East Palace!"
Shen Yuyao knew that the emperor had already offended Anajee by calling her a beggar. He would be enraged and would definitely kill Anajee, and might even implicate tens of thousands of women and children from the former dynasty in the capital.
Now she could only take Anajji back to the East Palace and ask for the prince's protection.
Besides, Xia Xiaoxian said that the Crown Princess would have a difficult delivery today, and she wanted to take Xia Xiaoxian with her to rescue her!
Shen Yuyao was extremely anxious.
The Black Dragon Guards, who were originally approaching the two of them, moved even closer when they saw Princess Ning holding up the little princess, but hesitated to move forward.
Although the emperor said there was no need to worry about Princess Ning, he didn't order her to be killed! Besides, there was a baby joining the battle.
The situation suddenly became complicated.
The Black Dragon Guards could only continue to move around while narrowing the encirclement. Their eyes were fixed on the three people in the circle, while their ears were waiting for the emperor's new orders.
Seeing this unexpected change, the emperor's face was also uncertain. Finally, he snorted coldly and said, "Capture this girl alive for me! Don't hurt the little princess!"
After all, Xia Xiaoxian is his direct descendant and cannot be compared to Princess Ning.
Shen Yuyao curled the corners of her lips in a mocking manner.
Anaj dodged Shen Yuyao's feinted knife, twisted her body, and stabbed Shen Yuyao with the dagger in her hand again.
Shen Yuyao dodged Anaj's attack while retreating towards the East Palace.
The two fought too closely, and the besieging Black Dragon Guards were afraid of hurting Xia Xiaoxian, so they only dared to follow.
The emperor watched Shen Yuyao retreat towards the East Palace, waved his hand, and the Black Dragon Guards behind him followed.
"Surround the Eastern Palace for me! Do not harm the Crown Prince!"
The emperor's voice was filled with anxiety and anger. Princess Shen, the wife of Prince Ning, was hateful.
There are many ways to retreat, but he chose to flee to the East Palace!
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. The Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace is having a difficult labor!"
Eunuch Li beside him shouted in a shrill voice.
The emperor's expression changed. "Quick! We can't let them alarm the East Palace!"
The archers on the palace walls also jumped towards the East Palace.
Over there, Shen Yuyao was holding Xia Xiaoxian in one hand and holding a sword in the other, and had retreated to the gate of the East Palace. The guards of the East Palace were confused about the situation and drew their swords at Shen Yuyao.
