"call out--"
The long arrow pierced the air.
When Jiang Li opened her eyes, the killer holding the long knife fell straight down.
The other killers had no time to react before the sharp arrows that followed instantly pierced their heads.
No one survived.
With the sound of horse hooves, the man holding a longbow was getting closer and closer.
“Whoa—”
When he ran in front of Jiang Li, the man jumped off his horse.
Seeing the woman's dull eyes, he quickly swung his big banner, wrapped her in his arms, and hugged her tightly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm coming."
The man's heart was beating very fast.
Jiang Li hadn't recovered yet and just sat there in his arms, choking for a moment.
But she could feel that he was shaking even more violently than she was.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, A-Li, I'm back."
The man hugged Jiang Li, muttering to himself. God knew how terrified he was at that moment. He couldn't even imagine what would happen if he had been just a step later...
Soon, the remaining killers were also dealt with by the Jiang brothers.
After the sound of swords and knives completely died down, Jiang Li patted Gu Qingchen on the back and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, Baizhi, Baizhi..."
Pushing Gu Qingchen away, Jiang Li took a deep breath and got up from the ground, running towards Bai Zhi.
Mo Qi knelt beside Bai Zhi, looking at the long knife behind Bai Zhi, and didn't even dare to touch her.
I just stared blankly, letting my tears fall to the ground.
"Get out of the way."
Jiang Li pushed Mo Qi away and went forward to check Bai Zhi's wound.
"Baizhi, hold on, it's okay, I'm here, you will be fine."
Jiang Li had never been so grateful for her medical system. As the medicine box continued to spit out various hemostatic drugs, Jiang Li didn't care about anything else and took them all out of her sleeves.
Soon, the bleeding on Baizhi's back stopped, but there was no sign of her waking up.
Jiang Li gritted his teeth, took out a golden pill from the innermost layer of the space, and fed it to Bai Zhi.
This is the life-saving pill that the system rewarded me after my merit points skyrocketed.
Only one.
But as long as there is still breath, you can snatch the person back from the hands of the King of Hell.
After a few breaths, Bai Zhi's light cough finally allowed Jiang Li to completely relax his tense breath.
"Mo Qi, carry Bai Zhi back to the palace. Remember not to let the wound touch anything."
After saying that, Jiang Li finally felt a sudden burst of fatigue. She wanted to sit on the ground and rest for a while, but fell into a warm embrace.
"Mom, I'm fine."
Turning around, I saw Xue Rou rushing over.
At this time, several brothers of the Jiang family had also gathered around, but none of them dared to take another step forward. They just stared at Jiang Li, and everyone's face and eyes were full of guilt.
"Blame it on mother, it's all mother's fault for not protecting you."
Xue Rou's tears never stopped. She held Jiang Li's face and looked at her again and again.
Jiang Yao's face turned even gloomy as he looked at the corpses of the killers scattered all over the ground, wishing he could punch himself twice.
Almost there, just a little bit!
"mother……"
The ground was too cold, so Jiang Li supported himself and helped Xue Rou up. He glanced at his brothers with red eyes and said, "I'm fine. I'm really fine."
"My brothers have tried their best, Mom, please don't blame them."
Walking in front of Jiang Yao, Jiang Li took Jiang Yao's hand again, which was icy cold to the bone.
"Dad, don't blame yourself. No one expected something like this to happen. My daughter is fine. Please comfort my mother for her. She must be scared."
After saying that, Jiang Li walked towards Gu Qingchen.
"Gu Qingchen, I'm so tired, take me home."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Li felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and then he remembered nothing.
///
When Jiang Li woke up again, it was already dawn.
"Are you awake?"
Before she could call the maid in, she heard Gu Qingchen's voice.
When I turned around, I saw that he had been guarding beside the bed.
I am still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.
It is full of wrinkles, which shows that it has rushed all the way back without stopping for a moment.
"Your Highness? You... have been guarding the entire time without taking a break?"
Seeing Jiang Li sitting up on his elbows, Gu Qingchen quickly helped him up. Without responding to Jiang Li's words, he simply said, "The imperial physician said he was a little frightened and will be fine after a few days of rest."
"The Emperor has learned of last night's events, and the Dali Temple is investigating overnight. Don't worry, I will make the person behind this pay the price!"
As he spoke, he helped Jiang Li put on her coat.
"Master Bai and the others are really working hard."
Seeing Gu Qingchen's unhappy expression, Jiang Li deliberately joked.
If she still couldn't guess who did it, then she had traveled through the book in vain.
That person dared to hire so many assassins to kill her in public. It was obvious that he had made sufficient preparations. It would be difficult for the Dali Temple to find out what he wanted.
However, after this incident, Jiang Li finally had a reason to take a good rest for a while, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Because of the suicide note and the half-bottle of poison on his body, the Third Prince's suicide was considered a crime. The Emperor, mindful of Concubine Chen's grief over the loss of her son, did not pursue the matter any further.
However, Concubine Chen was extremely unwilling to accept this. Although she could not make trouble with the emperor, she heard from somewhere that Gu Yanheng's imprisonment was related to Jiang Li, so she had been waiting for Jiang Li to enter the palace again and ruin his reputation.
She even thought of a method.
Once Jiang Li entered the palace, she pretended to fall ill when she met Jiang Li by chance, forcing Jiang Li to treat her illness.
As long as Jiang Li followed her back to the palace, she would arrest her. Then, she would have ten thousand ways to torture her. Finally, she would tell the emperor that Jiang Li had left after examining her.
In this way, not only will she not be able to be found, but she can also torture Jiang Li to death and then create a scene where Jiang Li died accidentally after having an affair with a palace guard. By then, she will have avenged her Heng'er.
But she didn't expect that before she could take action, Jiang Li had already gotten into trouble.
It’s a pity that the killers didn’t kill her!
When Concubine Chen first heard the news, she smashed a lot of things.
In this case, not to mention that Jiang Li will not enter the palace again in the short term, more importantly, she can no longer easily attack Jiang Li.
As long as the killer is not caught, the eyes of the Dali Temple will keep watching, waiting for any clues to appear.
In addition, during the days of recuperation in the palace, Jiang Li heard something else.
Qin Yu was expelled from the Qin family's genealogy.
She knew about this because the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau who had been specially trained by her told her when they came to visit the prince at his palace.
"Deputy Dean Qin hasn't been on duty for quite some time. It seems his mother is unwell, so he's staying at home to take care of her."
Doctor You was extremely mysterious when he said this, but later he couldn't help but tell Jiang Li all the gossip he had found out.
"The Qin family spread rumors that Qin Yu was unfilial and betrayed the clan, so he and his mother were expelled from the Qin family."
Logically speaking, Qin Yu is the deputy director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and ordinary people would have no time to curry favor with him. However, the Qin family would do such a cruel thing. I think the reason behind this is not simple.
