Soon, the sky gradually became gloomy. Shen Wangshu looked at the increasingly dark sky and felt a little nervous for no reason.
She looked around. The sky was already covered with dark clouds, and the wind was blowing with a bit of heat.
"It looks like a rainstorm is coming."
Shen Wangshu murmured softly, and his mood suddenly became not so good.
Lianzhi looked at the sky outside the window and said, "It's really going to rain."
Shen Wangshu did not answer, his gaze fell on the gloomy sky outside the window, a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
For some reason, she always felt like something was going to happen.
"Empress!"
Suddenly, the voice of the guard was heard from the carriage.
"What is it?"
Lianzhi lifted the curtain and looked out.
The guard was running towards them. "Your Majesty, the Emperor has sent me here with a message. How is your health? It's going to rain heavily. If you can still hold on, let's try to walk a little faster to the temple ahead to rest."
Hearing what the young guard said, Shen Wangshu nodded towards Lian Zhi.
Lian Zhi saw Shen Wangshu nod, and immediately said to the young guard: "Your Majesty means that we should do as the emperor ordered."
"Yes!" The young guard bowed respectfully.
Then he rode away.
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away. Shen Wangshu looked at the dark crowd outside the window, but he was thinking of another person in his heart.
Mo Sichen, where is he now? Has he already returned to Beijing?
…
The carriage was moving faster and faster. Shen Wangshu resisted the urge to vomit and silently said in his heart, hold on, hold on...
Not long after, it suddenly started to rain heavily.
The rain wasn't heavy, but it was enough to obscure the view.
"Gee! Gee! Gee..."
Shen Wangshu was sitting in the carriage, and when he heard the noise outside, he felt pain in his eardrums.
Soon, the sky was completely dark, but the rain did not weaken at all, and even tended to get heavier, accompanied by one or two thunders.
Lian Zhi saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and looked worriedly at Shen Wangshu, whose face was becoming increasingly grim.
"My Lady..." she called out tentatively.
Shen Wangshu clenched his teeth, trying hard to control himself from making any sound.
She held her forehead with her hand, took out a green plum and put it in her mouth, finally squeezing out three words, "I'm fine."
Lian Zhi was worried and wanted to say something, but she was worried that Shen Wangshu would feel even more uncomfortable, so she had to shut up.
At this moment, the carriage, which was supposed to speed up, suddenly braked suddenly, catching Shen Wangshu off guard and causing him to crash into the wall of the carriage.
Lian Zhi was startled and rushed forward to catch her, thus avoiding the tragedy of Shen Wangshu's head hitting the wall.
"My lady, how are you?"
"It's okay." Shen Wangshu shook his head, but felt a little palpitated.
Just as she was about to ask what happened, she heard a noise coming from outside.
"Hurry! Protect the emperor! There's an assassin!"
The sharp voice of the eunuch Liu Zhongyi resounded through the sky, followed by the sound of galloping horses and the clash of weapons. It was obvious that the outside was in chaos.
assassin?
Shen Wangshu's heart skipped a beat.
A figure flashed through her mind. Could it be...
"My lady, don't be afraid. I'll go and take a look."
Lianzhi was about to lift the curtain after saying this.
Shen Wangshu immediately pulled her back, leaned her head against the wall of the carriage, waved at her and said, "Don't move. It would be even more dangerous if you are targeted by an assassin."
"But Madam..."
Shen Wangshu shook his head. "You are no match for them. You are right to listen to me."
Lian Zhi wanted to say something else, but Shen Wangshu directly ordered: "Did you hear me?!"
"I obey your command."
Shen Wangshu took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
She opened the curtain and looked at the old emperor surrounded by waves of assassins falling from the sky and the guards being beaten to a pulp, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
The guard leader Jin Xiao, who was responsible for the safety of the guards, shouted with full energy, "Protect the emperor and the ladies!"
"yes!"
The guards followed suit and shouted. Both sides were blood-thirsty and people were constantly being chopped to the ground.
"Your Majesty, quickly retreat to the woods on the left!"
The guards around him reminded Emperor Longwu one after another.
When the old emperor heard this, he understood that in this situation, the only right thing to do was to temporarily evacuate. He nodded immediately and prepared to retreat with the people around him.
At the critical moment, he finally remembered something.
"Quick! And Concubine Shu! Bring her here to me as well."
The old emperor gave the order hurriedly and pointed in the direction of Shen Wangshu.
The guards immediately did as they were told.
In fact, it would have been better if the old emperor had not pointed, but this pointing attracted some of the assassins to target her directly.
After someone made a gesture, five or six men in black ran directly towards Shen Wangshu, and their speed seemed to be a little faster than the guards.
Seeing this, Shen Wangshu’s pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly got into the carriage.
Lianzhi was frightened, "My Lady!"
"Quick, get out of the car now!"
Shen Wangshu ordered calmly, then lifted the carriage curtain forcefully, preparing to send Lianzhi down.
But at this moment, a cold light flashed, and a flying knife came straight towards the two people's carriage, and the target was Shen Wangshu and Lian Zhi.
"Hide!"
Almost instantly, Shen Wangshu pushed Lian Zhi down, and then he leaned back and successfully avoided the attack.
