Blood spurted out of Duan Gouqiong's mouth, and a sweet and fishy taste spread in her mouth. She fell to the ground. Shao Lecheng quickly supported her: "You, why did you rush forward?"
Duan Gouqiong said innocently, "I, I was afraid that they would hurt you. I feel relieved to see that you are okay..."
She smiled weakly, but couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood. She looked at Shao Lecheng with her eyes slightly closed: "Go quickly, don't let me get you into trouble. I hope you can live well."
After he finished speaking, he fainted.
Shao Lecheng was anxious and immediately shouted: "Are you okay? Don't close your eyes, wake up!"
But Duan Gouqiong didn't react at all, and the assassin next to him attacked Shao Lecheng again without any pause or hesitation.
Shao Lecheng's eyes gradually turned scarlet. He picked up the long sword on the ground and rushed towards the assassin...
The two sides were entangled in a fight, and the symphony of weapons was endless. However, Shao Lecheng gradually became tired and began to fall into a disadvantage. He supported the long sword in his hand and half-knelt on the ground. He could not fall down. He had to hold on and take Duan Gouqiong away to see a doctor.
But he really didn't have the strength to resist or defend himself. Seeing the assassin's blade stabbing towards him, a group of soldiers rushed over from a distance. Some of them shot arrows. The assassins looked at each other, and someone immediately shouted, "Quick, retreat!"
Everyone evacuated quickly, but Shao Lecheng had already fainted.
It was unknown how long it had been, but Shao Lecheng had been feeling drowsy. He was taken away, and then there was a bumpy ride. When he calmed down, he seemed to be lying in a warm place. There was the smell of Chinese medicine at the tip of his nose, and he could hear people talking.
The dream was a bit heavy, mixed with various noises from reality, which combined with the dream made him increasingly confused about where he was.
When he woke up, he sat up in shock and saw that the surrounding environment was both strange and familiar. He immediately got out of bed. There was someone guarding outside the door. When he saw Shao Lecheng woke up, there was a hint of surprise on his face.
"Master Shao, are you awake? Great! I'll go inform the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
It turns out this is the Prince's Mansion...
He frowned and walked out, but he was too weak and his steps were a little unsteady.
He put his hand on his chest, it was injured and painful. He remembered that he was so bloodthirsty that he didn't even remember being injured.
While he was stunned, someone came towards him quickly.
"How do you feel? Why did you get out of bed by yourself?"
Ni Yueshan walked forward, her face full of worry, and beside her was Yu Fei, who also had a worried look on her face.
When Shao Lecheng saw the two of them, the worry in his heart did not dissipate. He asked with some doubt: "Where is the princess?"
Ni Yueshan and Yu Fei exchanged a glance, but didn't rush to reply. Shao Lecheng looked at them strangely, "Where's the princess? Why aren't you talking?"
Ni Yueshan sighed helplessly: "He is more seriously injured than you and is still in a coma. I don't know if he can survive..."
How disturbing does this sound?
Shao Lecheng asked anxiously: "Where is she? Take me to see her!"
Ni Yueshan and Yu Fei did not follow Duan Gouqiong into the room where she used to live. Shao Lecheng walked to her bedside and looked at the unconscious Duan Gouqiong with self-blame and heartache in his eyes. He looked at her, reached out and held her hand, and said anxiously: "Wake up, don't keep your eyes closed, okay?"
But Duan Gouqiong's face was pale, his eyes were tightly closed, and he didn't react at all. Shao Lecheng continued to speak worriedly: "Didn't you say that you wanted to race with me in Canglie?"
Shao Lecheng's words rang in Duan Gouqiong's ears, but Duan Gouqiong did not react at all. There was only disappointment in Shao Lecheng's eyes. He let go of Duan Gouqiong's hand and walked out.
Ni Yueshan and Yu Fei were standing at the door at this time. When they saw Shao Lecheng coming out, they were a little surprised. So fast?
Shao Lecheng walked beside Ni Yueshan and asked doubtfully, "Who on earth wants to assassinate me and the princess?"
Ni Yueshan frowned: "I only know that soldiers arrived in time and rescued you and the princess. As for who the murderer is, it is still unclear. The person escaped very quickly..."
Shao Lecheng fell silent. Ni Yueshan asked doubtfully, "Did you find anything when you fought the assassins? Were they trying to kill you or the princess?"
Shao Lecheng fell into deep thought: "At that time, I thought they were trying to assassinate the princess, but the princess was clearly stabbed and fell to the ground, but they didn't leave and continued to attack me. It was clearly aimed at me!"
"You are just an ordinary person. Why would they assassinate you unless they are the Imperial Concubine?"
Ni Yueshan thought of the assassin that night. They suspected it was the Imperial Concubine. Today they encountered an assassin again. Could it be the Imperial Concubine again?
Ni Yueshan's guess was consistent with Shao Lecheng's. He clenched his fists, his face cold, and he was obviously very angry.
In the palace, after listening to the report from the person kneeling below, the emperor was so angry that he swept everything on the table to the ground.
The man lowered his head, his face filled with fear: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"I asked you to act out a play with the princess, creating the illusion that she was seriously injured, so that Le Cheng would feel sorry for her, take care of her, and strengthen their relationship. In the future, there will be a real Princess Cang Lie staying to marry you!"
"But you're so good! You don't dare show up? If you see any assassins, just go up and kill them all, and don't delay your acting! If Princess Gou Qiong really loses her life in Xianchang, how do you want me to explain to Cang Lie's people?"
The emperor's words were questioning and angry, making the people kneeling on the ground even more unsure of how to refute him.
