"Master, Madam! Run! Run!" As the shouts outside grew louder, chaos broke out among the people in the main courtyard.
The servant who reported this was so frightened that he scrambled out as soon as he finished speaking and fled for his life.
Bai Yixun was wide awake: "What on earth happened in all this panic? Someone! Where is everyone?!"
"Master!" The steward of the courtyard rushed over in a hurry: "Master, I'm here."
What happened in the front yard?
"Don't worry, sir, we've already sent someone to check."
"Ahhh—have mercy! Have mercy!!!" In that instant, screams of agony reached the ears.
Bai Yixun looked up and was immediately startled. A group of soldiers in black armor, holding spears, rushed in and surrounded the entire main courtyard.
Before the fleeing servants and maids could escape, they were pierced by a spear, their blood splattering on the spot.
"Ahhh—?" Bai Yixun was so frightened by the scene that her legs went weak, and she instinctively grabbed the door frame with both hands, making a loud noise.
In an instant, the people in the courtyard ran away or fled, terrified.
“Master…Master…” Madam Yuan gripped Bai Yixun’s arm tightly. Things had happened so fast and so suddenly that her face had turned pale.
"Spare me! Spare me! Ah—" The servant, who had collapsed to the ground, begged desperately for mercy, but to no avail. His body was mercilessly pierced.
The steward standing next to Bai Yixun was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he knelt down straight down: "Spare...spare my life! Spare my life, sir..."
Bai Yixun was the first to regain his senses. Facing a horde of soldiers charging towards him, he suppressed his fear and shock and roared, "Insolence! Who are you? Do you know where you are? Do you know who I am?"
The screams echoed through the courtyard. Facing the soldiers rushing towards him with murderous expressions, Bai Yixun felt uncertain and clenched his fists inwardly, his heart filled with panic.
Unexpectedly, the soldiers actually stopped.
The leader, his large hand resting on the sword at his waist, wearing an iron mask with black patterns, stepped out from a group of soldiers, his eyes gleaming with a deep, chilling murderous intent. His voice was stern: "Bai Yixun of the Bai family in Fucheng colluded with and bribed Fucheng officials, instigated a coup, disrupted important government affairs, formed cliques, and ordered Bai Jiaojiao of the Bai family to use her beauty to seduce the emperor, damaging the royal family's reputation, spreading rumors about the Prince's mansion, and defaming the Princess. He has committed numerous crimes, and I am here on the Prince's orders to execute him on the spot!"
After saying that, he drew his sword with a clang and walked toward Bai Yixun with a murderous aura.
"Wait! Wait a minute!" Bai Yixun couldn't believe it: "These are all baseless accusations..."
She had initially stood up straight, intending to defend herself, but upon seeing the other party draw his knife, she was terrified and retreated repeatedly: "No, no, no... I need to see the Prince! Jiaojiao is about to enter the Prince's residence... The Prince would never..."
Before he could finish speaking, a flash of cold light appeared, and the army leader had already brought down his sword.
Bai Yixun let out a scream of "Ah—" and pushed Yuan Shi away.
Yuan, who was originally stunned in place, also cried out "Ah—" and was pushed out when the army leader slit his throat with a single stroke.
With a muffled groan, before Yuan could even react, he fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
Bai Yixun was stunned; they were actually serious!
"Impossible!" Bai Yixun exclaimed, his eyes wide. "Jiaojiao is about to enter the Prince's mansion. From now on, the Bai family will be related to the royal family. Who exactly are you? Aren't you afraid that the Prince will punish you?"
He retreated in a disheveled state, crying out in terror, "Help! Help! I need to see the Prince! I need to see the Prince! Where are the guards! Where have all the guards I trained gone! Help! Help me... Help me..."
The butler, who was kneeling at the door, had already been pierced by a spear.
The leader did not stop walking. After killing the Yuan family, he did not hesitate for a second. He walked towards Bai Yixun with a stern stride. The cold light of his knife made people tremble.
"Help...help me..." Bai Yixun looked at the raised broadsword, his face ashen with terror, and his voice grew weaker and weaker as he cried out.
As the broadsword fell, a spray of blood splattered, instantly staining the ground red.
The army leader flicked the blood off his knife, his murderous aura radiating as he turned. He raised his hand and shouted, "By order of the Prince, no one in the Bai household is to be left alive! Search!"
"Yes!" The army responded in unison and dispersed instantly!
On the other side, in Bai Jiaojiao's room.
"Get out! Who are you! Don't come any closer! Don't come near me! I want to see the Prince! Where is the Prince! I want to see the Prince!" Bai Jiaojiao shouted hysterically, throwing everything she could in the room, which made it difficult for the soldiers who had broken into the room to get close.
"You bunch of sons of bitches! When I see the prince, I'll have him cut off all your dog heads!" Bai Jiaojiao was so frightened that she jumped up and down. All the maids and servants in the room were already dead.
"Tomorrow I'm marrying into Prince Gong's mansion! Anyone who dares to offend me will die!"
"Help! Help!" Bai Jiaojiao shouted in terror after uttering these harsh words while standing on the dressing table. She threw the vase in her hand with a "bang," causing the soldier who was about to step forward to retreat.
The room was small, and they were all carrying long spears, so they couldn't really maneuver.
If only Bai Jiaojiao could run outside...
Just then, a cold voice rang out: "What's going on?"
The army leader who just killed Bai Yixun has now appeared in Bai Jiaojiao's room.
The chilling gaze sent a shiver down Bai Jiaojiao's spine, but she still mustered her courage and shouted, "Where is the Prince! I want to see the Prince! Where is the Prince! I want to see the Prince! You bunch of assassins and bandits, I want the Prince to cut off all your dog heads!"
The army leader coldly stared at Bai Jiaojiao, who was shouting and yelling. He didn't say a word, and drew his sword from his waist again.
The prince specifically instructed that Bai Jiaojiao's body be examined to verify her identity, so he came directly over after dealing with Bai Yixun.
But to everyone's surprise, Bai Jiaojiao hadn't finished dealing with it yet.
Well, that's fine too. He can do it himself and personally explain to the prince.
"Ah—don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!" Bai Jiaojiao was so frightened that she kicked everything off the dressing table, but the army leader didn't even blink as he faced the gold and silver jewelry, rouge and powder that were being thrown at him, and stepped forward with murderous intent.
"Help! Help!" Bai Jiaojiao's face turned pale, and she almost lost her balance on the dressing table. She leaped onto the windowsill, shouting, "Help! Help!"
She shouted as she reached for the window with trembling hands.
But for some reason, the windows and doors that are usually easy to open are stuck today, and I can't open them no matter what I do.
