What I want is for her to live a peaceful and happy life without any disturbances for the rest of her life.
However, I didn't expect that the general would attack the city so quickly.
In just one night, the army had arrived at the city gates and surrounded the entire imperial city tightly. I paced back and forth anxiously in the bedroom, seeing that Qian Ning could not be sent out, and I absolutely could not let the general find her.
But what else can we do?
I walked anxiously in the imperial garden. Everyone in the palace felt insecure and their faces were pale.
At this moment, I suddenly found an inconspicuous bright color. I walked forward and found that there was a tunnel in the rockery. I walked down the tunnel and found that it led directly to the outskirts of the imperial city. I was immediately overjoyed.
In this way, as long as I can secretly send Qian Ning out of this tunnel, then this mission will be completed.
Thinking of this, I hurried back to the Tai* Palace and called Qian Ning out of her bedroom. I handed the money and baggage in my hands to the secret guard who was responsible for protecting her. I said to him, "Take the princess away from here and settle in the suburbs of Country Y. I have bought you a property there, enough for you to live a worry-free life."
"No! I won't leave!" Unexpectedly, Qian Ning, who had always been weak and never dared to contradict me, suddenly struggled with a determined look on her face.
"You have to leave even if you don't want to!" My face suddenly darkened. I turned to look at the secret guard beside her and warned, "Be sure to protect the princess!"
"Yes!" The secret guard knelt on one knee and answered, then suddenly pressed Qian Ning's acupoint and took her quickly towards the tunnel in the rockery.
I followed them and finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching them enter the tunnel.
But before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I heard a series of shrill screams, one after another, and then I saw soldiers wearing armor belonging to the enemy country, walking towards me in an unstoppable manner.
The city is broken!
However, I didn't feel much fear in my heart. Qian Ning had been sent away and my mission had been completed. There was nothing to be nostalgic about.
The man on horseback in front slowly rode up to me, looking down at me. Without warning, he placed a bloody knife on my neck and suddenly asked coldly, "Where is Princess Qian Ning?"
Hmm? What's going on?
My eyes suddenly widened. The general at this time should not have seen Qian Ning, so why would he ask about her?
Could it be that the plot has changed because of my participation?
I was filled with confusion and kept guessing, but I kept my face stiff and didn't say anything.
Perhaps it was dissatisfied with my uncooperative attitude, and the next moment the bloody tip of the knife was sent into my shoulder with great force, and my body trembled unconsciously for a moment.
I looked down and saw the sharp blade piercing my body. Only then did I feel the stinging pain in my body, and my forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.
"Huh...ran away through the secret passage?" At this moment, the man on the horse suddenly cast his gaze on the entrance of the secret passage behind me, curling his lips and sneering.
The next moment, my body was suddenly lifted up, and the man suddenly walked past me towards the secret passage door.
I was shocked and no longer cared about my own body. I rushed forward to stand in front of him. Looking at his cold and bloodthirsty eyes, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, knowing that I was probably going to die.
The only consolation is that Qian Ning has been sent away by me, and the mission is completed. Even if I die, those dead companions, Qin Lan, Xiao Ding and others will come back to life and live a simple and stable life.
Reality tells us that we should never be happy too early.
Just when I was secretly rejoicing in my heart, a scream suddenly came from deep in the tunnel behind me. After hearing that scream, my heart sank. When I turned around and saw the figure running towards me, my whole heart sank.
The person I sent out with so much difficulty actually came back on his own... Came back...
I just want to curse!
No one knew what was going on with this general, but he went looking for her as soon as he entered the imperial city. Judging from the murderous intent in his eyes, he seemed to want to silence her. Now, before anyone could come to look for her, she bumped into the door herself.
The plan I had been planning for two years and put so much effort into was destroyed in an instant.
Sure enough, the moment he saw Qian Ning, the general's cold eyes instantly became deeper. He pulled the knife out of my body with one hand, and stabbed Qian Ning who was running towards me from behind with the other hand.
My heart sank, knowing that I would not survive today. I turned around abruptly and pushed Qian Ning back into the tunnel. The next moment, the tip of the knife pierced through my heart, and blood gushed out like a fountain all over Qian Ning's body.
"Run! Run... Don't look back!" I used up the last bit of my strength to shout at her, but my body was blocking the door, not allowing anyone to come in.
But I knew in my heart that I couldn't hold on for long.
However, Qian Ning just kept shaking her head and refused to leave. She stood there crying, her whole face covered with tears.
"Go away, don't make me hate you!" Seeing that she was disobedient, my voice suddenly became low, with a rare threat in it.
The next moment, I felt a black screen in front of my eyes and lost consciousness instantly.
After death, I floated in the air, watching Qian Ning staring blankly at my lifeless body, still firmly blocking the entrance of the tunnel, and blinking her eyes blurred by tears.
Then I saw her eyes suddenly become fierce, and her whole temperament became unpredictable in an instant. She walked towards the tip of the knife that stabbed out of my body, letting the tip of the knife pierce into her heart without blinking, and hugged my neck tightly.
I heard her murmur softly, "I'm sorry, even if you hate me, I don't want to stay alone in a world without you."
I floated in a daze not far from them, watching her struggling to hug her own corpse's neck, silent for a long time without saying a word.
Are you touched?
No!
After a long while, my expression suddenly changed. My eyes were blazing as I stared at the woman who was courting death in front of me. I couldn't catch my breath and fainted from anger.
When I woke up again, I was in a dim room. As soon as I opened my eyes, I met a pair of cold and emotionless eyes. I was startled and jumped out of the bed in fright. I picked up a wooden stick that I touched nearby and stared vigilantly at the person who suddenly appeared in front of me.
"Congratulations!" the man suddenly spoke, and his cold tone made me feel creepy.
However, two seconds later, I suddenly realized that the voice was somewhat familiar. I looked carefully again and found that the person standing in front of me was Qian Ning, who was seeking death and insisted on being buried alive with the emperor?
