Chapter 7 The Princess and the Bloodthirsty King
Cha Jiu looked around and asked, "Where is Wan He?"
I haven't seen Wanhe for most of the day.
Wan Xing couldn't tell her directly that she was lazy, so she said cryptically, "She ate too much cold food yesterday, and now she feels a little uncomfortable. She is afraid of offending the master, so she dare not come to serve for the time being."
Cha Jiu didn't say anything. She opened her arms and let Zhirou and Wanxing help her change clothes and take a nap.
Even if Wanxing didn't say it, Chajiu actually knew what Wanhe was thinking.
Before marrying off to the Northern Frontier, Wan He had set her sights on the position of Mo Lian Xiaoyu's concubine, and the two of them had also been having an affair in private.
Who knew that although Mo Lian Xiaoyu ate everything, he still looked down on her and was unwilling to give her the position of a concubine.
Wan He was so angry that he took the initiative to follow his master into the palace.
Without a good marriage, and not having entered the palace willingly, how could she have the energy to do a good job?
She was either lazy or slacking off all day long, or she was bossing the little palace maids in Yongle Palace, and she was not afraid of being punished by the kind-hearted princess.
But Cha Jiu really didn't intend to pay attention to her.
Yongle Palace can afford to keep someone who eats idle meals. As long as Wanhe doesn't do anything to betray him, Chajiu will turn a blind eye.
It's almost the dog days of summer, and it's very hot and humid.
At noon, cicadas kept chirping in the trees. Cha Jiu leaned on the bed, feeling very sleepy.
Wanxing fanned her.
"Oh no, my lady!"
The door to the bedroom was pushed open, and Zhirou rushed in panicked: "There's an assassin outside!"
assassin
Why did an assassin suddenly appear in the palace?
Suddenly, screams of palace maids were heard outside the palace, along with the sounds of panicked footsteps and flower pots smashing to the ground.
Cha Jiu's heart instantly rose, and he whispered, "Close the bedroom door tightly!"
Zhirou did as she was told tremblingly. Chajiu stood up, put on his cloak, and quickly took a peek through the crack in the window.
The palace servants who were in charge of sweeping and watering the courtyard were so frightened that they huddled aside, trembling with fear.
The three burly assassins ignored these people and headed straight for Cha Jiu's bedroom!
This time the assassin was coming for her!
Cha Jiu ordered hastily: "Open the window at the back of the bedroom and climb out!"
The only option at this time was to escape from Yongle Palace and ask for help from the guards patrolling the palace.
Zhirou jumped out first, looked around nervously to make sure it was safe, then reached out to help Chajiu out.
However, before Cha Jiu could climb up, the door of the bedroom was kicked violently from the outside. The heavy bolt was instantly deformed and was about to fall down, almost unable to hold on.
Wan Xing struggled to hold up the heavy wooden window: "My Queen, please hurry up!"
Cha Jiu swallowed nervously and made a decision immediately: "Wan Xing, you go first."
Wan Xing was stunned: "My Lady"
"Hurry up, it will be too late if you delay any longer." Cha Jiu took the wooden window from her hand and motioned her to climb out first.
Cha Jiu still has some powerful potion on him, and at worst, he can exchange it for some love powder to delay these assassins.
But if Wanxing stayed here to stop them, she would surely die.
Wan Xing burst into tears: "What are you talking about? I am just a worthless servant, and death is not a pity. Please run away."
Seeing that Wan Xing refused to let go and the door was about to be kicked down, Cha Jiu immediately took a powerful potion.
A surge of strange and abundant physical strength instantly filled his whole body. Cha Jiu supported the wooden window above with one hand, and used the other hand to push Wan Xing out of the window.
"My queen——"
"Go find the guards!" Cha Jiu said the last sentence quickly and closed the wooden window.
At the same time, the door of the bedroom was finally kicked open, and several assassins rushed in from outside. Seeing that only Cha Jiu was in the bedroom, they relaxed their vigilance.
The leader held up a knife and threatened: "Princess Zhao, just come with us."
Cha Jiu calmed down, thinking about how to rush out of Yongle Palace past them while pretending to speak to delay.
"Who are you and where do you want to take me?"
The leader sneered: "Of course I will take you back to the Northern Frontier."
Cha Jiu slowly moved towards the table: "You are from the Northern Frontier, but I don't seem to know you."
The leader was getting a little impatient.
"Zhaopin is a noble lady, how could she know us little people? Stop talking nonsense and come with us."
He waved his hand, and the two people behind him stepped forward to grab Cha Jiu.
Cha Jiu grabbed the incense burner on the table and threw the ashes inside at the three people!
The men in black were blinded, and for a moment Cha Jiu found a chance to escape. She rushed out of the bedroom and ran towards the outside of Yongle Palace.
"Oh no, we can't let her out!" the leader said hurriedly.
The master ordered them to disguise themselves as people from the northern vassal state, take Concubine Zhao out of the palace, and then create the illusion of an accidental death.
If the palace guards were alarmed, this mission would be difficult to accomplish.
Cha Jiu's heart was pounding, and she ran towards the palace gate with all her might.
I didn't expect that a mission to have a child would lead to an assassination!
If the final mission score was not SSS level, Cha Jiu would have wanted to kill the system.
The assassins were relentless in pursuit, and the servants of Yongle Palace squatted in the corner and trembled, but no one stepped forward to stop them. Only a young eunuch risked his life to knock down an assassin, and screamed for help.
The leader looked at him coldly, drew his sword and stabbed the young eunuch, and he became silent.
No one dared to come forward anymore.
Cha Jiu's heart trembled violently, and he ran forward even faster, but unexpectedly, there was an assassin blocking his way.
Seeing that the assassin was about to reach out to grab her, Cha Jiu gritted her teeth and kicked him hard with her foot.
A magical thing happened. The assassin was kicked more than ten meters away in an instant, and the back of his head hit the stone of the rockery hard, and he fainted.
The other two assassins were stunned.
At this moment, the gate of Yongle Palace was opened, and Yuwen Yuan, with a cold and attractive aura, appeared outside the gate. A group of powerful imperial guards rushed in from behind him and surrounded the place in an instant.
"Your Majesty." Cha Jiu murmured, staring at Yuwen Yuan in a daze.
It's not an illusion, it's really him!
At this time, Cha Jiu's hair was disheveled, and his face was covered with sweat and tears. He didn't look like a wolf, but rather had a pitiful look of battle damage.
Yuwen Yuan strode forward, grasped the back of her head with his warm big hand, and buried her face in his chest.
"It's okay." When he heard that there was an assassin in Yongle Palace, he immediately became panic-stricken.
Now that I see Chajiu is safe, I feel a little relieved.
Wanxing and Zhirou squeezed in, and seeing that their master was safe and sound, they felt relieved and cried silently with their hands covering their mouths.
They were all terrified, fearing that something might happen to Cha Jiu.
The Imperial Guards pushed the two conscious assassins in front of Yuwen Yuan. As for the one who fell beside the rockery, he was already dead.
Zhang Lu ordered someone to bring two chairs so that the masters could sit down during the interrogation.
Yuwen Yuan looked at the two people in front of him coldly, as if they were dead things: "Who are you, who ordered you, and what is your purpose? Tell me the truth, and I can leave you with intact bodies."
The assassin leader's black scarf covering his face was pulled off, and Cha Jiu indeed felt that he looked unfamiliar.
She looked at Wan Xing and saw that he was also shaking his head slightly, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s good that you are not on father’s side, otherwise, you can’t wash yourself clean even if you jump into the Yellow River.
The leader spat fiercely in the direction of Yuwen Yuan: "Bah, dog emperor, tyrant! He destroyed Xizhou, occupied Beifan, and dared to lick our noble Princess Yuehua as a concubine. Everyone can kill him!"
Cha Jiu said coldly: "You are not from the Northern Frontier at all."
