The people around turned their heads to look at Ji Xingzhi out of curiosity, and such movement naturally attracted the attention of Shui Lianche and others.
Ji Xingzhi half-squatted, not nervous at all. Instead, he felt somewhat relieved that it was not the Yuzhou Emperor Seal that fell out.
But now, the imperial seal and the piece of paper were already on his sleeves. They would fall off whether he stood or kneeled. After a moment's silence, Ji Xingzhi had already prepared for the worst.
Almost instantly, Ji Xingzhi quickly turned around and silently conveyed a message to Yuya, then suddenly pushed Luo Bai towards Yuya, and Luo Bai fell into Yuya's arms without any surprise.
Luo Bai subconsciously looked up at Ji Xingzhi, but only saw Ji Xingzhi's back.
Luo Bai wanted to get up, but Yu Ya held him tightly in his arms.
"Don't move." Yu Ya whispered in Luo Bai's ear.
Luo Bai's body stiffened, his eyes instantly moistened, and tears dripped onto the back of Yuya's hand, burning like fire.
Yuxu and Rumei were so frightened that they lowered their heads and couldn't help shaking.
Zhou You secretly clenched his fists. If he went forward to help the young lady, Xiao Nian would inevitably be implicated. But if he didn't go, he would be abandoning the young lady and being unfaithful and unrighteous.
After a moment, Zhou You closed his eyes slightly. Between love and righteousness, he ultimately chose love. He found a good excuse for himself: the other side had so many people, even if he helped, the young lady wouldn't be able to escape. Why bother getting himself and Xiao Nian involved...
If anything happens to the young lady, he and Xiao Nian will definitely avenge her.
Ji Xingzhi didn't care what others thought. He quickly rushed to the palace gate and pretended to escape. Soldiers swarmed over and surrounded Ji Xingzhi. Ji Xingzhi kicked away a soldier who was close to him, turned around, snatched the sword from a soldier's hand, and slashed the soldier with the sword.
Ji Xingzhi wielded the sword with ease, killing with determination, her moves were quick and accurate. Perhaps because she had good intentions, the soldiers who fell at her feet were not injured in vital areas, at least their lives were not lost.
The group of women who failed to be chosen as queens had probably never seen such a bloody scene before. They were all terrified and trembling with fear. Some even started crying for their parents.
Whether Ji Xingzhi intended it or not, he strayed away from the palace gate while fighting.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Murder! Run!"
Then, as if waking from a dream, they rushed towards the palace gate one by one.
The soldiers wanted to stop them, but were stopped by Ji Ruhua.
"Let them go." Ji Ruhua looked at Luo Bai and the others without looking away.
The soldiers hesitated for a moment and cast inquiring glances at Shui Lianche. Seeing Shui Lianche nod slightly, they all retreated to protect Shui Lianche and others.
Luo Bai looked at Ji Ruhua coldly with tears in his eyes, and let Yu Ya help her get up and leave.
Ji Ruhua lowered her eyes, feeling a little choked in the heart. Except when A Tao died, she had never seen Luo Bai shed tears, and Luo Bai had never looked at her with such an indifferent gaze... Luo Bai's eyes had always been pure and flawless, like the light of sunlight reflected through water droplets.
Ji Ruhua glanced down and saw the bracelet on the ground. She paused slightly, walked slowly to the bracelet, squatted down and picked it up. Perhaps she didn't even realize how violently her hand holding the bracelet was shaking.
Ji Ruhua secretly bit her lower lip. This was the bracelet she had given to the emperor. The ice-blue gemstone had lost its original color and was dull and ugly...
