After Fang Miao woke up, she looked at the black-clad assassin in confusion. From the only part of her face that was exposed, Fang Miao knew that the assassin in front of her was a woman.
Sure enough, she spoke the next second, confirming her guess.
"Don't be afraid, young lady. The prince has asked his subordinates to take you away!"
"Your Majesty?"
Fang Miao has been locked in this room and has no idea that she is in the palace, let alone Helian Heng's identity.
"There's no time to explain so much to you, let's leave first!"
The female assassin helped her up, and Fang Miao felt the kindness emanating from her, so she stood up with her help.
She just wanted to leave this damn place, so she chose to believe the assassin.
But because of this excessive squinting, even after taking the antidote, her steps were still a little unsteady.
Today is the New Year's Eve banquet. The master eunuch beside Concubine Guo also went to the banquet to protect her. Helian Heng saw this opportunity and took the risk to find someone to rescue her.
The eunuch beside Concubine Guo was called Eunuch Lu by everyone. He had followed Concubine Guo before she entered the palace. It was said that they grew up together. He was willing to be a rootless eunuch for the sake of the concubine and protect her.
He is a martial arts expert with strong internal strength. He was the one who taught Helian Heng martial arts personally, so he knew his strength very well. He could only take advantage of these loopholes when Helian Heng was away.
On the other side, Concubine Guo, who had just dressed up and was heading to the banquet with her people, stopped halfway in her sedan chair.
She was still a little worried, so she ordered:
"Xiao Luzi, you should go back to the palace and look after that little bitch. I'm always worried!"
When Eunuch Lu heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his pale, beardless face:
"But tonight is the New Year's Eve Palace Banquet, and my duty is to take care of your Majesty's safety first!"
"It's okay. This New Year's Eve banquet is held every year. It's just like that. What's the danger? You can go back now."
Concubine Guo insisted, and Eunuch Lu had no choice but to obey her orders and return to the palace.
When he came back, Fang Miao had just left not long ago. Because he used Qinggong to rush back, they did not escape too far.
Seeing the servants and palace maids knocked unconscious on the ground, Eunuch Lu's eyes showed a hint of anger. He hated anyone who caused trouble for the Empress.
So, he chased after her without hesitation. Fang Miao's steps were unsteady and she didn't have time to go far before Eunuch Lu caught up with her. The female assassin felt something was wrong.
"It's over, they discovered it so quickly!" The female assassin gritted her teeth and made a decision immediately.
"Girl, run first. Keep running along this road. There will be someone waiting for you ahead. I will hold him back first. I can only take you here."
She was a death warrior, specially trained by the Prince of Chu's Palace. When she went on a mission, she never thought about surviving.
Without waiting for Fang Miao to say anything, she was already prepared to sacrifice herself.
She couldn't hold anyone back, so she could only do as she was told and keep running forward.
At this moment, Helian Heng was sitting in his seat in the banquet hall. On the surface, he seemed calm, but in fact, his hand holding the wine glass had turned pale. He was very worried at the moment.
The emperor hasn't arrived yet. He usually arrives last. Concubine Guo has just arrived too.
The four princes had already taken their seats early, and just like in the past, they were bound to exchange some sarcastic remarks with each other.
Today, no matter whether he could successfully take the person away, his mother would never do anything to hurt Fang Miao in a fit of rage. He was taking a gamble.
But things seemed to be beyond his expectations.
This time, Helian Heng also found someone to support him, just to ensure that everything would go smoothly, but there were some factors that they had never expected.
Fang Miao used all her strength to run forward, looking back to see if anyone was catching up with her.
The female assassin was no match for Eunuch Lu at all. She was seriously injured after just a few moves.
"You little brat, I don't have the time to fight you today, so I'll spare your life for now!"
His target is Fang Miao, and he only needs to give an explanation to the Queen. As for the others, they are not under his jurisdiction.
But the female assassin was determined to die. Even if she died, she would give Miss Fang the best chance to escape, so she hugged Eunuch Lu's legs tightly.
In the palace, no one wanted to see blood or cause death, but this person was really annoying. Eunuch Lu slapped her on the head, her skull was shattered, and she died instantly on the spot.
He kicked her body away like a rag and went after Fang Miao.
Fang Miao, a man without any martial arts skills, kept running forward in this alley. There were towering palace walls on both sides. There was a lamp on the wall at intervals, illuminating the way ahead. However, the atmosphere was suffocating, as if this road would never end.
On the other side of the corridor, a bright yellow sedan chair slowly came, surrounded by many palace maids and eunuchs.
Eunuch Lu caught up with Fang Miao without any effort.
But he seemed to be in a playful mood, treating her as prey, following her slowly and watching her panic-stricken look.
"Miss Fang, we advise you to go back with us obediently, so as to avoid physical pain!"
"I won't go back. Who are you and why are you imprisoning me? I'm just an ordinary woman!"
Fang Miao was very stubborn, but she also felt very guilty inside. She knew that the female assassin who came to save her was most likely dead.
"You are indeed very ordinary, but you are the prince's favorite. Only you can make him obedient."
"The prince you are talking about is He Heng?" Even if Fang Miao was stupid, she should have guessed it.
"You are wrong. Our Daqing royal family's surname is Helian. He just lied to you. Don't struggle anymore. Come back with us. If the imperial concubine is unhappy, there is no guarantee that she will torture you!"
Eunuch Lu knew the imperial concubine's temper, but he had watched the prince grow up, and he knew how the prince felt about this woman. He himself had been through it all, so he could empathize with her, so he probably didn't want to hurt Fang Miao.
"I won't go back with you. I'm tired of being imprisoned."
Even though the chances were slim, Fang Miao wanted to give it a try. She understood that she had become He Heng's, no, Helian Heng's weak spot. It seemed that he was being held back because of her.
What virtue or ability did she have? She was just a fallen woman. She finally had a few smooth days, but she was still involved in these struggles. She didn't understand why her fate was so bumpy?
She just wanted to live a peaceful and free life. Is that so difficult?
She ran forward with determination. If all else failed, she would just die. Even if she died, she didn't want to be imprisoned again.
