The assassin made a feint from Yuan Xichen's right, and Yuan Xichen went to block the assassin's attack.
But in the blink of an eye, the assassin suddenly turned around and attacked "Yu Qingqing", and unfortunately "Yu Qingqing" was held hostage by him.
"Stop! You are not allowed to hurt her, let her go." Yuan Xichen was shocked to see "Yu Qingqing" being held hostage, and he was immediately confused.
"Master Yuan, save me! Save me! I don't want to die." Yu Qingqing cooperated very well and provided cover for the assassin.
Yuan Xichen felt even more distressed by her delicate and frail appearance.
He even felt a little guilty for bringing "Yu Qingqing" to this dangerous place so easily.
"Miss Qingqing, don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! I won't let anything happen to you. Don't move and be careful of the knife."
A shining sword was pressed against "Yu Qingqing's" neck, which made Yuan Xichen's heart tighten.
"Well, I'm not afraid! I'll be a good boy." Yu Qingqing suppressed the urge to feel disgusted and said this. This really wasn't her style.
"What exactly do you need? What should I do to make you let her go?"
Yuan Xichen took a step forward and the assassin took a step back, and before they knew it, they arrived at a yard.
He tried to calm the assassin down to prevent him from accidentally hurting "Yu Qingqing".
“I know I can’t kill you today, you just need to let me go, don’t worry.
I am also a kind person who cherishes women, I will not hurt this little beauty, please step back and put down the sword first."
The assassin felt that it was almost done and the other side was probably ready, so he prepared to run away and lure Yuan Xichen away first.
"Okay! I won't go forward. You can't hurt her. I'll let you go. But you have to ensure her safety, otherwise I won't let you go."
Yuan Xichen saw that this was in the yard, so he decided not to provoke him. The most important thing was to ensure Yu Qingqing's safety.
He just let the assassin take "Yu Qingqing" to a corner and did not follow him.
On the other side, Du Tao, disguised as "Yuan Xichen", had just come out of the secret passage. However, as he walked along, Yu Qingqing began to become suspicious.
She felt that Yuan Xichen was a little strange today, but she couldn't put her finger on what was wrong.
What she didn't know was that this "Yuan Xichen" couldn't help but become malicious after seeing her in person, and intended to do something bad to her.
"Miss Qingqing, I think you are particularly beautiful today. From the first time I saw you, I can't forget you."
"Yuan Xichen" said these words to Yu Qingqing in the room and began to approach her step by step.
"Mr. Yuan, what's wrong with you? Do you know what you are saying?" Yu Qingqing realized what "Yuan Xichen" wanted to do.
I was secretly surprised. Could it be that I really only knew the appearance of a person but not his heart, and I had misjudged him?
She didn't have time to think about it. She quickly saw a dagger on "Yuan Xichen's" waist. She quickly pulled it out and pointed the dagger at "Yuan Xichen".
"Miss Qingqing, why are you pointing a knife at me? Do you want to hurt me?"
"Yuan Xichen"'s eyes were full of calculations. When he saw Yu Qingqing in front of him, he wanted to make the fake play real.
Unfortunately, he knew that he was completing a mission and could not act rashly.
"Something's wrong with you. You are not Yuan Xichen. Who are you? Please get out of here right now."
Yu Qingqing was a little shocked by what he saw. If he were Yuan Xichen, how could he be so frivolous?
If he wasn't, why did he look exactly like Yuan Xichen? The best thing to do now was to keep him away from me.
"Don't get excited! I'll just leave." To Yu Qingqing's surprise, the man actually cooperated, opened the door and walked out.
Yu Qingqing's legs went weak and she fell to the ground, frightened by what she had just seen.
"Yuan Xichen" just walked out, and Yuan Xichen on the other side just turned the corner. He heard some movement in the room here, opened the door and ran in.
Yu Qingqing saw Yuan Xichen coming back and picked up the knife again. She knew that the man just now was just a decoy to make her let down her guard.
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here!" Yu Qingqing shouted loudly, with great fear in her voice.
Yuan Xichen thought she was just being held hostage and was frightened, so he quickly walked up to Yu Qingqing.
"Miss Qingqing, what's wrong with you? Are you scared?" Yuan Xichen stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Don't! Don't come over here." Yu Qingqing seemed to be trapped in a nightmare. She didn't hear Yuan Xichen's words, but only felt that he was going to hurt her again.
In a panic, she waved the dagger in her hand and it happened to pierce Yuan Xichen's chest.
"Miss Qingqing! You! You." Yuan Xichen looked at Yu Qingqing with disbelief.
At the same time, Chen Yi and Yu Qingshu also arrived here one after another.
"Master! Master." Chen Yi saw that the dagger in Yu Qingqing's hand was stuck in Yuan Xichen's chest, and Yuan Xichen had fallen into a coma.
He thought it was Yu Qingqing who was trying to assassinate Yuan Xichen, so in a panic, he slapped Yu Qingqing away with a palm.
Yu Qingqing's back hit the table and chairs, she vomited blood and passed out.
Yu Qingshu, who happened to arrive, saw this scene.
"No! Chen Yi, what are you doing? You killed my Qing'er, you murderer! Murderer."
Although Yu Qingshu also saw the unconscious Yuan Xichen, he saw his precious daughter being slapped away by Chen Yi with one palm.
He walked up to Yu Qingqing and hugged her in his arms, crying heart-wrenchingly, thinking that Yu Qingqing had been beaten to death.
"My Qing'er, wake up! Wake up! Daddy is here! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Yu Qingshu hugged her and cried heart-wrenchingly. Soon Yuan Yi and the others heard the news and rushed over.
When Yuan Yi arrived, he saw Yu Qingshu hugging Yu Qingqing and crying, while his prince was stabbed in the chest and fell in a pool of blood. Chen Yi happened to be nearby, guarding Yuan Xichen.
"Come! Chen Yi, give this to the prince first. No matter how serious the injury is, it can keep his life hanging."
Yuan Yi saw the scene in front of him and did not have time to ask any more questions. He only knew that saving lives was the most important thing.
Then he took another pill exactly the same as the previous one and walked to Yu Qingshu.
"Uncle Yu, don't cry! Give this to Miss Yu first. She is not dead yet. She is just injured. Keep her alive first."
Yuan Yi didn't know what had happened. He only saw that Yu Qingqing and his master were both unconscious.
"Yes! Yes! Take the medicine first! You will feel better after taking the medicine."
Yu Qingshu grabbed the pill and stuffed it into Yu Qingqing's mouth with force. Fortunately, the pill melted in his mouth and was soon swallowed by Yu Qingqing.
"Uncle Yu, don't worry! I'll go stop the bleeding for the master first, and then come over to see Miss Yu's wound right away. Her life will be saved after taking the medicine, and she will be fine."
After saying this, Yuan Yi walked towards Yuan Xichen who was already lying on the bed. Yuan Xichen was bleeding profusely from his chest.
When Yuan Yi saw Yuan Xichen bleeding, his face instantly turned pale.
