Chapter 253 Rescue the People
I saw a palace maid in pink clothes lowering her head and quickly hiding in the shadows, then she started to jog.
"Over there, chase after him!"
The soldier holding the torch realized something was wrong and quickly chased after him.
Many soldiers around were attracted by the noise.
Gu Qingyu slowly walked out to check the situation. Seeing that there was no one at the intersection outside the Imperial Garden, he brought Qi Yue out...
"Sixth Princess, there are signs of assassins sneaking into the west gate!"
"Sixth Princess, a palace maid with suspicious behavior was spotted in the east, and the guards are chasing her."
Murong Qian: "Let's go! Follow me to the west gate and wait for the assassin to come. This assassin must be going to rescue that bitch!"
The other side.
"Your Highness, it seems that Princess Yi Yang has been spotted in the east..."
"Your Highness, there are signs of assassins sneaking into the west gate!"
Murong Heli said decisively: "You take a small team to the west gate to catch the assassin, and the rest of you follow me to the east. We must not let the assassin scare the Crown Princess!"
"Yue Xing, use your light work to rush over first, don't let these reckless men hurt anyone!"
Yue Xing: "Yes, Your Highness!"
Gu Qingyu and Qi Yue finally arrived at the west gate, and just when they thought they had successfully escaped.
A sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the darkness and almost hit Gu Qingyu's neck.
Qi Yue's heart skipped a beat, "Oh no, there's an ambush!"
Gu Qingyu drew out his sword with his left hand to protect her, and the two of them retreated quickly.
The next second, dozens of soldiers armed with bows and arrows appeared at the palace gate.
Murong Qian walked out from behind the archer and looked at the two of them with a grin.
"Gu Qingyu, you are really tenacious. Even though your arm was broken by this bitch, you still risked your life to follow me to the Li Kingdom Palace to save this bitch!"
"It's a pity that this bitch betrayed you even though she was pregnant. You don't know how coquettish she was on the way back. She stayed in the carriage all day to seduce my brother. I don't know how much she played with him. I really feel sad for your infatuation..."
Gu Qingyu naturally wouldn't believe her nonsense. Even if Qi Yue really tried to please Murong Heli in order to survive, he wouldn't blame her.
He only hated himself for not being strong enough to protect her.
"Is that little mouth full of rice? It smells so bad?"
Hearing the curse he uttered, Qi Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Then she cursed again, "Murong Qian, you are a rat in human skin. If you dare to touch a hair of mine today, I will skin you alive tomorrow without you having to do anything!"
Murong Qian's face changed and she trembled with anger.
"Kill! Kill them! Kill them for me, the princess!"
Luo Qiao advised: "Princess, don't be impulsive. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finds out, it will be the end of you!"
Murong Qian slapped her in the face, "How dare you interfere with my decision!"
Luo Qiao immediately knelt down and continued to persuade: "Princess! Don't forget what the Imperial Master said!"
Hearing this, she calmed down a little and her gaze returned to the two people who were retreating not far away.
He smiled with a venomous look in his eyes, "Send the Crown Prince's order. Whoever can kill the assassin and rescue Princess Yi Yang will be promoted to the third rank and rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!"
"I obey your order—"
When Qi Yue heard these words, she pulled Gu Qingyu hard without hesitation, then stepped over and stood in front of him.
"Ayue!"
Gu Qingyu wanted to pull her back, but she held him tightly with her big hand.
The archers, who had already drawn their bows to their full length, were suddenly in trouble.
Qi Yue shouted at her arrogantly: "Murong Qian, if you want to kill him, you have to kill me first. If I die, you can't live either!"
Then he lowered his voice and said, "Ayu, find a chance to escape later. Murong Qian won't dare to do anything to me."
Gu Qingyu: "No, Ayue, I won't run away alone again!"
"If you stay here any longer, we will both lose our lives, don't you understand? It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."
Qi Yue gritted his teeth and pushed him hard to the side.
At the same time, Murong Qian had snatched the bow and arrow from the archer and aimed it at her.
"Bitch! I want you dead!"
Luo Qiao: "Princess, you can't!"
With a "sou" sound, a sharp arrow flew out of the air and headed towards Qi Yue's face.
Gu Qingyu's eyes were bloodshot, he flew over and protected her with one hand.
Seeing the arrow shoot into his back, Murong Qian also breathed a sigh of relief.
She also bet that Gu Qingyu would not leave Qi Yue alone, and fortunately she won the bet.
Before Qi Yue could care about his injuries, another wave of soldiers' voices rang out behind him.
"Who is it?"
Seeing this, Murong Qian immediately shouted, "Li Fu, this assassin has kidnapped Princess Yi Yang, quickly capture him!"
God really helped her. Fortunately, the people sent by the Eastern Palace did not know Gu Qingyu, so even if the person was killed on the spot by mistake.
You can also use Li Fu as a scapegoat!
"The assassin has been shot. Quick! Capture him for me and rescue Princess Yi Yang!"
After saying that, she glanced at the archer next to her, and dozens of bows and arrows were drawn again and aimed at the two of them.
Li Fu, who came from behind, stopped them loudly: "Stop! Don't hurt anyone..."
Murong Qian interrupted sternly: "The assassin is already seriously injured. If we don't take him down now, he might take Princess Yi Yang hostage! Li Fu, if you can't subdue the assassin, don't hinder me from saving people!"
A streak of black blood left the corner of Gu Qingyu's mouth, and he protected Qi Yue tightly and refused to let go.
"Oh no, the arrow is poisonous!"
Qi Yue immediately took out the porcelain bottle containing the detoxification pills from his arms.
At this moment, from Li Fu's perspective, it seemed as if Qi Yue was being held hostage.
He drew his sword and led a dozen guards behind him to attack Gu Qingyu, "You bastard, let go of the princess!"
"stop!"
Gu Qingyu turned around with her, let her go, and faced Li Fu with the sword in hand.
Qi Yue stumbled and the porcelain bottle in his hand fell to the ground and broke, and the few detoxification pills rolled into the darkness.
Murong Qian took the opportunity to pull the bow and aim again, and seeing her squatting down in a hurry to look for something, he shot an arrow directly at her hand.
Fortunately, Qi Yue was not busy looking for pills, but was always keeping an eye on her movements, so she managed to dodge the arrow.
Murong Qian was not angry even though the arrow missed. She just wanted to intimidate this bitch.
"Shoot the arrows at this princess! Kill the assassin!"
The archer hesitated: "Princess, Guard Li Fu and his men are still fighting with the assassins. If we shoot, we might hurt our own people..."
Luo Qiao lowered her voice and scolded, "Guards Li Fu and his men were killed by assassins just to save people. What has this got to do with the princess?"
Murong Qian gave her an admiring look, then looked at Qi Yue, lowering her voice and gritting her teeth, "Go, rescue Princess Yi Yang for me! Don't let the assassin hold her hostage again!"
Seeing that Murong Qian stopped moving for a while and was whispering something, Qi Yue quickened her search for the pills.
