And lying next to his sister was their Cang Yue’s enemy, the current emperor of Xihe, Yan Chou.
The hatred in Xie Xinglan's eyes was about to burst out. His fingertips on the hilt of the sword trembled. He held his breath, drew out the sword, lifted the curtain, and then chopped the blade straight towards Yan Chou's neck. But in a moment, the man with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyelids and nimbly grabbed his arm.
The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, making a crisp sound.
Xie Xinglan was stunned. Suddenly, more than a dozen guards rushed out from all directions in the originally quiet hall, giving him no chance to breathe. The guards behind him pushed him to the ground.
Yan Chou got down from the couch, his narrow, long, auspicious phoenix eyes covered with an intimidating coldness.
His almost cold face gradually showed a ferocious look, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips. He leaned over to look at the man struggling on the ground, and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Prince Cang Yue, how are you?"
Xie Xinglan was pinned to the ground, unable to move. He glared at him angrily and growled like a wild beast, "Yan Chou, you knew I was going to kill you, and yet you ambushed me here?"
Yan Chou raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "My life is not so easy to be killed."
Xie Xinglan looked through him and at the woman who was still sleeping on the couch. She still had her eyes closed and was not woken up even by such a loud noise.
"What on earth did you do to my sister?"
Yan Chou said calmly, "I just want her to sleep peacefully. Don't worry, I love your sister so much, of course I won't let her know that I killed you."
Xie Xinglan gritted his teeth, pressed his face against the cold ground, and stared at Xie Shizhu on the couch.
He couldn't bear the humiliation and wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but even though he bit his tongue and the rusty taste of blood filled his teeth, he was still alive.
Yan Chou looked at him quietly, his dark eyes as if he was looking at an ant.
He raised his foot and stepped on Xie Xinglan's cheek with his bright yellow boots. With a little force, he pressed his face and heard the sound of his skin being torn by something.
Xie Xinglan's vision became blurry, his face was in so much pain that he could no longer feel it, the sticky blood obscured his vision, and his breathing became weak.
The entire Jin'an Hall was filled with the smell of blood.
Xie Xinglan was pinned to the ground by the guards, and Yan Chou was slowly torturing him. There was blood under his body. The scene was horrific and shocking.
The guards in Jin'an Palace were used to big scenes, but they were frightened by this cruel scene and couldn't breathe.
Suddenly, the sleeping woman sat up abruptly, and seemed to murmur "brother" in her sleep. Then, as if realizing something, she opened her eyes and looked outside the curtain.
The unbearable sight of bright red blood irritated her nerves, making Xie Shizhu unable to distinguish whether it was a dream or reality.
When she saw the person on the ground clearly, she suddenly woke up from her sleep.
In an instant, her face turned pale, and she stumbled off the couch, her eyes bloodshot. She looked at the cruel Yan Chou in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice, "Yan Chou, let my brother go."
When Xie Shizhu saw Xie Xinglan's appearance, his legs softened and he fell down in front of Yan Chou. All he saw was the pair of blood-stained boots under the bright yellow brocade robe.
Xie Xinglan was gasping for breath, his right face covered in blood.
The system was stunned when seeing this scene. Yan Chou was truly a tyrant. A healthy person was tortured into this state.
[Host, Yan Chouren is too vicious! ]
Xie Shizhu looked calm, "Really? I don't think so."
The system was stunned: [But... Yan Chou hurt the original owner's brother so badly...]
Faced with the system's questioning, she smiled without saying a word.
Xie Shizhu's thoughts returned to reality, and with trembling hands, he forcefully pried Yan Chou's legs apart.
Yan Chou looked down at Xie Shizhu, a complex expression flashing across his sinister eyes. He relaxed a little, but Xie Shizhu had already moved his legs away. He hugged Xie Xinglan's neck tightly with both hands and murmured in a low voice: "Brother, why are you here? Wake up, don't sleep..."
Xie Shizhu stretched out his hand and touched the tip of Xie Xinglan's nose. His weak breathing made her whole body cold.
Then, she slowly stood up, biting her lower lip until it bled, and glared at Yan Chou with hatred in her eyes. Without hesitation, she raised her arm and slapped her slender palm towards Yan Chou's cheek.
The crisp sound of the slap frightened the guards in the hall so much that they dared not even breathe.
Yan Chou looked calm and expressionless, but his heart was filled with anxiety and restlessness.
Especially when seeing Xie Shizhu's desperate and helpless eyes, he felt a little confused.
Xie Shizhu burst into tears and said, "Yan Chou, I hate you."
hatred?
Yan Chou sneered in his heart and looked straight at Fu Yun.
Fu Yun coughed lightly and said, "Imprison the assassin and await his punishment."
"yes."
Several guards helped the unconscious Xie Xinglan out of Jin'an Palace.
In an instant, they were the only two left in the huge hall.
When Xie Shizhu turned around and tried to catch up, she was grabbed by a pair of strong arms, who then lifted her up, carried her frail body on their shoulders, and slammed her down onto the couch.
"Queen," Yan Chou put one hand on her ear, staring straight at Xie Shizhu, with a smile on his lips, "Do you know that your brother wants to kill me? Shouldn't I punish him?"
Xie Shizhu's face turned pale as paper and his breathing stagnated.
Yan Chou said, "Xie Xinglan's assassination of me is a capital crime. I will give you and him a chance in one day. I will come to Jin'an Palace again tomorrow. If you figure it out, you will know what to do."
Yan Chou sat up, with his long back facing Xie Shizhu, and held his breath deeply.
