Chapter 261 The suppressed emotions finally broke out
In the eyes of the Second Prince, countless sharp arrows were like fireworks rising into the sky, waiting to pierce into Ru Yunji's body and explode into blood-red fireworks of victory.
Similarly, Yun Ji remained motionless.
Is there no escape, so you just accept your fate?
Squeak!
A soft sound came from above.
Before the Second Prince could look up, dozens of black shadows broke through the huge net above his head and fell down, forming a circle around Yun Ji. Cold light flashed, and he couldn't even see clearly whether they were holding swords or knives in their hands. Blood mist spurted out all around.
Those holding crossbows let go of their arrows and tried desperately to hold down their cut throats with their hands, but the blood was like a flood that could not be stopped no matter what.
Their faces were visibly pale, and they fell to the ground one after another in a moment. Blood flowed and gathered, soon forming a small stream under their feet, staining the second prince's black boots red.
The playful expression had not yet left his face, and at this moment he was completely frozen.
How could that be?
The people he brought were carefully selected from the southwest and trained for many years. Although they were not extraordinary in martial arts, they were also good fighters. However, they didn't even have the strength to fight back and their throats were cut in one move.
Looking at the people standing around Yun Ji, they were wearing all kinds of clothes.
The Imperial Guards, the imperial guards, the palace maids, the eunuchs... the only thing they had in common was that they all wore black masks on their faces, and even their eye sockets were covered with a layer of black gauze, completely covering it up.
who are they?
Hidden everywhere in the palace?
Why would the Queen Mother allow it?
There were too many questions, and before the second prince could figure them out, an arrow flew towards him.
He dodged in a hurry, and the arrow blade grazed his cheek, leaving a bloody mark.
Before the Second Prince could raise his hand to wipe the spilled blood, Yun Ji appeared in front of him like thunder, grabbed his neck with his big hands and pressed him against the vermilion palace wall.
There was now a strong murderous intent and resentment in Ci'e's eyes. The suppressed emotions finally erupted, and his hands tightened even more. The Second Prince opened his mouth but couldn't breathe in any air. He held Yun Ji's wrists tightly with both hands, but couldn't pull them apart even with all his strength.
"Once I die, no one will compete with you, and vice versa." Yun Ji's voice was as clear and quiet as usual, but at this moment it made the Second Prince feel cold all over.
He will kill himself.
It was useless to struggle. Yun Ji saw through all her movements. In his hands, she was just a child.
I could hear the crackling sound of my neck being pinched, the lack of oxygen made my head ache unbearably, and my hands gradually lost strength.
"Your Majesty!"
An urgent voice sounded, it was Youlan.
Seeing that the second prince's face had turned blue, he hurried over.
Yun Ji only took a glance, waved his hand and threw the second prince in the direction where Youlan was running, then turned around and continued forward without stopping.
A dozen masked men also simultaneously flashed over the palace wall and disappeared, as if they had never appeared at all.
The second prince was lying in a stream of blood, holding his neck and breathing heavily, looking as miserable as a stray dog.
Looking at him, Youlan said impatiently, "Your Highness, this is Shengjing, the Imperial Palace, not the Southwest. You can't take it for granted. The Empress has ordered that you go to the Lin family to live immediately."
The second prince was extremely angry at being taught a lesson by a slave.
In Queen Lin's eyes, she was not as good as Youlan.
Dislike him?
But when had she ever taught him? When had she ever trained him? To raise a dog, you have to pet it, talk to it, tell it what it can and cannot eat!
Letting him go to the Lin family is just to keep him under guard.
After all, no matter how much she looks down on me, I am the only one she can use.
The bloodstained Second Prince rose from the ground and sneered, "Go back and tell Mother that I will obey your orders and stay at the Lin family."
Looking at his devilish appearance, Youlan did not answer, turned around and walked back quickly.
All the way back to the Yangxin Palace, Empress Lin was wiping the emperor's face.
Youlan told Queen Lin everything that happened on the palace road.
There was a flash of disdain in Queen Lin's eyes.
After all, he was not trained since childhood. He was wild and unruly and self-righteous. Even the Dragon Hidden Guards were unaware of him. They just saw Yun Ji entering the palace and wanted to take advantage of the numbers to finish him off.
If it could be resolved, why would she let Yun Ji leave like that in vain?
The Dragon Hidden Guards are one of the emperor's trump cards. She and the Lin family have been searching for years but have not been able to find out the list. They are hiding in various corners of the palace, and their number is unknown. They are different people every time they go out, and they wear masks when they are not showing up, and their body shapes also change. Their martial arts are so powerful that they are difficult to rival, and it is even more difficult to figure out their moves.
It was for this reason that the Lin family did not dare to act rashly towards the emperor.
The emperor can die of illness, but he can never be killed.
She can control the entire harem, but she cannot replace it.
The emperor is now under house arrest, not because she is so powerful, but because of his own health and for Yun Ji.
Yun Ji could see it clearly, but that idiot couldn't.
But it's not completely useless. At least it was found that the emperor had handed over the Dragon Hidden Guard to Yun Ji.
"Your Majesty, the royal bloodline is indeed different. In just a few months, Yinqin has grown up to be as graceful as you were back then. He is indeed capable of being an emperor." Holding a handkerchief in her hand, Empress Lin gently wiped the emperor's sunken cheeks and spoke casually.
However, the emperor did not answer her.
It’s not that I don’t want to, but I can’t answer.
Ever since the emperor ate the thousand-year-old snow ginseng brought back by Abbot Kongming, he fell into a deep sleep, and only his faint breathing showed that he was still alive.
"You don't even want to raise your eyelids. It seems the Emperor is truly fed up with me." With a helpless sigh, Empress Lin raised her eyes and looked at Abbot Kongming, who was sitting cross-legged in the Buddhist hall chanting. "Abbot, are you unwilling to make a calculation for me?"
"Amitabha, I am incompetent and cannot help the goddess to understand the secrets of heaven."
Queen Lin was not annoyed. Going against the will of heaven would never lead to success.
…
It was already 3 p.m. when Yun Ji returned to the delivery room. After taking the medicine, Su Rui had fallen into a deep coma.
Even when her quilt and clothes were changed, she didn't react at all. If her body wasn't still warm and soft, she would have been no different from a dead person.
Yun Ji walked in soaking wet, but she didn't react at all.
"Mr. Yunji." Huiming saluted with his hands clasped together.
"Has she taken the medicine?" Yun Ji asked.
Huiming nodded. "It's been over half an hour since I took it, and my pulse is... gone."
Yun Ji was not surprised, as Abbot Kongming had already told him about it.
The medicinal properties of the thousand-year lotus are overbearing, and its temperament is also overbearing. The raw lotus is extremely poisonous and cannot be touched. Even smelling the odor will cause hallucinations. After it is refined into medicine, it is half medicine and half poison. The person who takes it will fall into a state of suspended animation. Whether it becomes a medicine or a poison depends entirely on luck.
If it becomes a medicine, it can revive the dead and turn flesh into bones.
If it becomes poisonous, the consequences are self-evident.
Therefore, since she set out on her journey back from Weicheng, Su Rui has added thousand-year-old snow ginseng to her pregnancy-maintaining medicine in order to nourish her body and resist toxicity.
But given Su Rui's current condition, no one can tell whether the thousand-year-old snow ginseng can work, and to what extent.
But this is the only way, and the medicinal properties of the Wannian Lotus only last for one hour after being refined into medicine, so there is no time to hesitate.
"Did she say anything when she saw the medicine?"
"The concubine opened her mouth without any hesitation. She believed in the prince." Luo E said what Su Rui couldn't say.
