Chapter 113 There is an assassin!
"don't want!"
A weak figure suddenly pounced over, and Liu Qingqing grabbed the scissors blades tightly with both hands.
Blood dripped down.
"Qingqing, let go!" Zhinu's face changed drastically, his hands froze there and he dared not move at all.
Afraid that the scissors would hurt her more deeply.
Liu Qingqing's face turned pale with pain.
She gripped the scissors tightly in her hand, "We can't kill him. If we kill him, no one will survive."
She was right. If the Fourth Prince died here today, I'm afraid everyone would be buried with him.
There was a flicker of hesitation in Zhinu's eyes, and Sanjiu quickly dragged the Fourth Prince aside.
The fourth prince shouted in shock and fear, "Come..."
He had just said a word when Shen Yuan blocked his mouth.
Chen Yuan stared at him sharply, "Your Highness will be participating in the hunting expedition tomorrow. I think we shouldn't make a big deal about tonight's incident. What do you think, Your Highness? If you agree with what I say, please nod your head."
Li Ji glared at Chen Yuan and nodded fiercely.
Shen Yuan took the coarse cloth from his mouth, and Li Ji pointed at Zhi Nu and said grimly: "I can let go of what happened today, but I want him!"
"Those who have injured His Majesty the Fourth Prince cannot be kept alive."
After Shen Yuan finished speaking, he pulled out the dagger from Sanjiu's waist and stabbed it into Zhinu's heart with his backhand.
Zhinu covered his heart in disbelief and fell down.
"Zhi Nu!" Liu Qingqing opened her eyes wide and rushed over crying.
Li Ji was finally satisfied, "Madam, you are truly decisive!"
After saying that, he kicked Zhinu hard and turned to leave.
"Zhi Nu, it's all my fault. I harmed you."
Liu Qingqing picked up the scissors on the ground, her face covered with tears, "Zhi Nu, wait for me, I will accompany you."
The next second, her hand was held.
Zhinu's face turned pale. "Don't cry, I'm fine."
Liu Qingqing opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
"My heart is located differently from others. Madam Gu knows this, so she took the initiative."
Chen Yuan instructed Sanjiu, "Send Zhinu to Chen Lao. Zhinu will need to change his identity in the future."
After saying that, she looked at Liu Qingqing and asked, "Can you still stay in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion?"
Liu Qingqing nodded with tears in her eyes, "Sister, I can't leave. If I go to my grandmother's grave, it will be dug up by the Protector of the Country."
This was something Chen Yuan had never thought of. He had never expected that the Duke of Protectorate would be so cruel and cruel.
"Then be careful. The Fourth Prince will definitely not come again in the next few days. Let me think of something else."
Liu nodded with tears in her eyes. "Sister, you have done enough for me. Sometimes people really have to accept their fate."
After returning home, Chen Yuan felt depressed. Is this the only way?
Inside the bed curtains, Gu Huailing held her in his arms, "Are you still thinking about Miss Liu and Zhinu?"
"The Fourth Prince is not a good man, and the Protector of the Country is nothing either."
Shen Yuan's voice was extremely cold. He actually wanted to dig up his biological mother's grave. How crazy must one be to do such a thing?
"It's not surprising. The Protectorate's Mansion has fallen on hard times, and their only hope is Miss Liu. That's why the Protectorate will do everything in his power to send his daughter to a higher position."
"Perhaps there will be a turnaround in the hunt tomorrow."
The man's voice was low and calm, and Shen Yuan's heart gradually calmed down.
The Donglin Hunting Ground covers a vast area. With Emperor Tiansheng personally visiting, all the young masters of the aristocratic families are gearing up to show their faces in front of the emperor.
The Fourth Prince looked like a respectable man today. He had lost his usual feminine look while riding on his horse, and actually looked quite heroic.
Emperor Tiansheng sat in the main hunting ground and raised his hand to throw a bow to the Fourth Prince, "Ji'er, take this as an example!"
Then he looked at the children of the nobles and said, "You are all good men of the Great Jin. Those who hunt prey will be rewarded!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
Emperor Tiansheng seemed to be infected by the youth's vigor and looked in a very good mood.
Shen Yuan looked at Shen Zhao who was riding a tall horse and nodded slightly to him.
Donglin Horse Farm is a field with grasslands and trees interspersed, and the prey was released early in the morning.
Li Ji sat on horseback and drew his bow and shot arrows effortlessly.
The prey was prepared early in the morning, and he is sure to be the winner today!
Shen Zhao sat on his horse, concentrating on hunting. His archery skills were extremely accurate, and in a short while he caught more prey than Li Ji.
In the distance, a white fox jumped into the bushes. Shen Zhao aimed at the fox with a bow and arrow.
Just as he was about to draw his bow, the sound of horse hooves was heard beside him.
Li Ji sat on his horse and looked at him leisurely, "You are just a guard dog, and you dare to compete with me for my woman."
Shen Zhao clenched the bow in his hand and said nothing.
Li Ji waved his hand, and his guards immediately stepped forward to surround Shen Zhao.
"What does the Fourth Prince want to do?" Shen Zhao's voice became deep.
"I just want you to hand over your prey. I'm going to marry Gu Yao!"
A sharp light flashed in Chen Zhao's eyes, "Then it depends on your ability!"
"You don't know what's good for you! Kill him for me!"
As soon as Li Ji finished speaking, the guards around him immediately drew out their steel knives.
Shen Zhao's face turned stern, and he drew his sword and looked at everyone, "I am an official appointed by the court, who dares to kill me!"
The birds in the forest were startled, and at this moment a masked man in black jumped out from the bushes.
He chopped towards Li Ji.
Li Ji's face changed drastically, and he grabbed a guard to block him in front of the crowd.
The man in black was determined to kill Li Ji as if he didn't care about his own life.
Li Ji's voice changed tone with fear. "Chen Zhao, what are you standing there for? Why don't you come and protect me?"
Shen Zhao frowned, he really wanted this loser to die.
"If you dare to run, I will have someone tell my father that you were the one who assassinated me."
Before Li Ji could finish his words, he was kicked hard. His mouth was full of blood and he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak!
The steel knife chopped past my eyes!
A scream pierced the sky, "Chen Zhao!"
Countless birds took off from the forest.
The steel knife pressed against the steel knife, making a harsh friction sound!
The man in black stepped on Li Ji's calf patella, and with a "crack" sound, the patella was broken.
"Ah!" Li Ji broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, screamed and fainted.
Chen Yuan sat in his seat, looking at the startled birds flying away in the forest, a trace of uneasiness flashed through his heart.
This isn't going to happen, is it?
It was now May, and she vaguely remembered that something big was going to happen, but she couldn't remember it at the moment.
It’s all because I was trapped in the mansion in my previous life and had no idea about the situation outside.
Handing her a piece of dessert, Gu Huailing looked at her and whispered, "It's still early to leave the banquet. Madam, have a piece of dessert first."
Chen Yuan had something on his mind, so he could only take a perfunctory bite.
The young eunuch came in with fresh goat's milk and placed it in front of the nobles.
Emperor Tiansheng held up the goat's milk and said, "Try it, everyone."
At this moment, the young eunuch serving milk suddenly pulled out a dagger from under the tray and stabbed it straight into Emperor Tiansheng's face!
Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.
Gu Huailing was closest to Emperor Tiansheng. He drew the sword from his waist and stabbed it towards his heart.
"Keep alive!"
Emperor Tiansheng was furious!
Gu Huailing turned his wrist and stabbed the chest instead.
A cold blue light flashed before Shen Yuan's eyes.
Her heart sank as she shouted, "Sir! Be careful of hidden weapons!"
The hidden weapon stabbed towards Emperor Tiansheng and Gu Huailing, and it was impossible to stop it.
Gu Huailing could only stand in front of Emperor Tiansheng and protect him.
Three steel needles were inserted into his body.
At the same time, he stabbed the sword in his hand into the little eunuch's chest!
"Sir!" Shen Yuan's heart almost stopped.
She rolled and crawled to Gu Huailing's side and shouted, "Hurry up! Call the imperial physician!"
