[Chapter 167 Chapter 167 After the divorce, he became a popular figure (44)]
There are some things she can't do, but An Yi can.
On the day when Mo Sanniang sent the opera to Zecheng, Chen Yanshu sent someone to follow her secretly, but they didn't know that there was someone behind the scenes.
Qingzhu Tower is famous for gambling with lives, where one life is worth ten thousand taels of silver.
This fate refers to the fate of sending out the killer.
Ten top killers for one hundred thousand taels of silver. Coincidentally, Yan Qing, who had robbed a bandit’s den before, had no shortage of this money.
"It's those desperate people from Qingzhu Tower!" Someone shouted, and the men in black with no markings on their turbans became confused.
Only a few of their group were left after being killed, and they immediately withdrew from the battlefield.
The Green Bamboo Killers were extremely powerful, and ten of them pointed their swords directly at Chen Yanshu.
Chen Yanshu, who was carrying three burdens with him, was unable to hold out any longer. He whistled as a signal and several shadow guards who were protecting him jumped out.
Yan Qing pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, disgust welling up in his eyes.
It turned out that he was the one who found the first batch of people.
It is true that he is a hero saving a beautiful girl, and it is also true that he wants to kill Han Sheng.
When her eyes met those of one of the assassins, she tilted her head slightly to the right rear of Chen Yanshu. The assassin immediately shook off the entangled shadow guard and stabbed in the direction she indicated.
"Husband, be careful!" Yan Qing pretended to protect Han Sheng, and when the two of them were dodging, they "accidentally" knocked Chen Yanshu out.
The distracted man's weakness was exposed to the killer's sword. He was attacked from both sides. Even though the two shadow guards were highly skilled in martial arts, they had no time to escape.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing that he was in critical condition, Han Sheng hugged Yan Qing and shouted in shock.
It happened in a split second. Just when Yan Qing thought that Chen Yanshu would definitely be stabbed and injured, a cold mechanical voice rang out.
[The male protagonist is detected to be in danger, please come forward to protect him immediately]
Luo Mingyan's veil fell to the ground in panic, and tears streamed down her beautiful face.
She is a weak woman who doesn't know how to fight and can barely take care of herself, how can she protect others?
No, she doesn't want to die.
With resistance written all over her face, she stepped back in fear, waving her sword.
The next second, his body involuntarily flew towards Chen Yanshu, blocked a sword for him, and fainted from the pain on the spot.
Her body had clearly been taken over by the internal system, and Yan Qing didn't even have time to stop it.
In the end, Chen Yanshu's arm was stabbed, one of the two palace masters was killed, and the remaining five killers were injured and left the stage.
When they went to check for any survivors, they discovered that several people lying on the ground had committed suicide by taking poison.
Chen Yanshu hugged Luo Mingyan with cold eyes.
The assassination was clearly aimed at him.
He lowered his head, and even when he looked at the woman in his arms who was blocking the sword for him, he showed no emotion at all.
Yan Qing took out a set of silver needles from the drawer of the table in the carriage. This was a gift from Doctor Hu after she became his disciple in private.
After sealing Luo Mingyan's blood vessels and stopping the bleeding, she tore off the hem of her skirt to bandage her injured back.
"Let's go to the nearby town first." She picked up the unconscious Luo Mingyan and said calmly.
Han Sheng was afraid that she would be tired, so he wanted to help carry her, but considering the difference between men and women, he looked at Chen Yanshu.
The cold and arrogant man had been through a fight, and his hair crown was slightly crooked, with a few strands of messy hair scattered on his shoulders.
There was a cut on the brocade robe at the right arm, stained with bright red blood.
"Your Majesty, how is your injury?" he asked as a subject.
Chen Yanshu waved his hand: "No problem."
Yan Qing noticed the few traces of blood on his sleeve, replayed the force of the killer's sword in his mind, and his eyes flashed.
The surviving shadow guard bought a donkey from a nearby village, harnessed it to a carriage, and took a few people into the nearest town.
Luo Mingyan's injuries make it difficult for her to travel long distances, so she needs to stay in the city to recuperate for a while.
But at this time Chen Yanshu obviously couldn't wait to return to Beijing, only because his shadow guards found out that the headquarters of Qingzhu Tower was in Panyang.
The Xie family is a prominent family in Panyang.
He had just executed the Xie family members in Pingnan when he encountered this assassination attempt, which made him have to suspect the Xie family.
Thinking of the rumors that the late emperor had descendants among the people, he felt even more uneasy.
He promoted Han Sheng and other poor families to fight against the nobles. How could the noble families, who had been blessed by their ancestors and enjoyed a high position for many years, be willing to sit and wait for death?
If these people find someone with legitimate royal blood, they will support him at all costs to become a puppet who can compete with him.
Of course, he wasn't the only one who thought this way.
After all, the false news about the "previous emperor's pearl" was Yan Qing's idea specifically for the aristocratic families.
She didn't know whether they would follow this line of thought.
But she knew that even if they had no bad intentions, Chen Yanshu's suspicion would eventually force them to go down that path.
It would be best if two tigers fought each other, with some getting injured and some dying.
Chen Yanshu and the shadow guard returned to the palace first, and Han Sheng asked to stay and accompany Yan Qing.
He couldn't do such a thing as abandoning his wife on the road and rushing back to Beijing first.
Chen Yanshu then took the opportunity to assign him the task of protecting the imperial concubine.
Entrusting an important official to take care of his wife would at least prevent him from being known as a heartless person.
Yan Qing stayed by Luo Mingyan's side and changed the bandage on her wound.
The person on the bed had his brows tightly furrowed and his face was as pale as paper. Even in his deep sleep, he couldn't stop feeling fear.
She woke up with a start and saw Yan Qing, tears welling up in her eyes: "Save me! Please save me!"
"Don't be afraid, I will help you." Yan Qing held her hand.
This time I didn't hear the sound of electricity running around.
Luo Mingyan insisted on sitting up, and Yan Qing helped her up, took out the soft pillow from under her waist and placed it behind her shoulders, allowing her to lean slightly against the head of the bed.
"There is something inside me that has been controlling me." She suddenly spoke.
After consuming energy to control herself to protect Chen Yanshu from injuries, she found that the system in her body had gone into a deep sleep, and only then did she dare to expose its existence.
After accidentally shaking hands with Yan Qing last time, she found that the system was garbled for a while, and seemed to be a little afraid of Yan Qing.
Apart from the person in front of her, she couldn't think of anyone who could save her.
Temporarily freed from the shackles of the system, she just wanted to tell everything, even if she was killed as an alien.
With this self-destructive thought in mind, she no longer cared.
Yan Qing looked at her: "I know."
These three simple words made Luo Mingyan burst into tears.
"Can I hug you?" she asked in a choked voice.
Yan Qing stood up, half leaned over to hold her in his arms, and let her tears wet his clothes.
Luo Mingyan ignored the pain from her wound and cried hysterically on her shoulder, venting all the anxiety and fear she had felt since she traveled through time.
"Thank you, thank you..." She repeated in her murmurs after crying.
She was like a drifting boat, which only found a harbor to dock at this moment.
Yan Qing gently wiped away the tears from her eyes and asked softly, "Do you know where Sister Luo is?"
Luo Mingyan thought of something and couldn't help shuddering: "Her, her soul was wiped out."
She told Yan Qing that the previous owner of this body had his soul wiped out.
It was simply because she hadn’t completed the task of wearing the phoenix robe.
At that time, the system gave her an option——
As long as she wrote "Female Commandments" and "Female Rules" which further restricted women's thoughts and circulated them widely, she could become the queen.
