Chapter 104: Midnight Assassination
Immediately afterwards, the door was kicked open and Zhao Xian rushed in with dozens of guards holding knives.
They had obviously been lying in ambush nearby, which was why they were able to arrive at the scene in such a short time.
When the assassins saw this, their hearts sank to the bottom.
They knew they had fallen into an enemy ambush and felt deeply regretful.
But now that things have come to this, they have no way to retreat and can only rush towards the prince regardless of everything. Even if it means death, they must kill the prince first!
Zhao Xian and his guards rushed forward to rescue the emperor.
The assassins completely ignored the guards. Their eyes were red and they kept slashing at the prince with swords like crazy!
Luo Qinghan fought against four people alone and was not at a disadvantage at all.
As for Xiao Xixi, he protected her firmly behind him, preventing the assassins from having the chance to hurt her.
In a blink of an eye, Zhao Xian and his men rushed over and started fighting with the four assassins.
The assassins originally wanted to grit their teeth and fight, but the enemy had much more people than them, and two fists could not beat four hands, so they were quickly defeated.
This time, Luo Qinghan did not give them the chance to commit suicide. The first thing he did after catching them was to order his men to remove their jaws and forcibly dig out the poison sacs hidden in the gaps between their back teeth.
The four assassins were tied up and kneeling on the ground.
Because their chins were removed, they couldn't close their mouths, and saliva flowed down the corners of their mouths. Combined with their bruised faces and noses, they looked particularly embarrassed.
Soon, Prince Nie Changping, the Crown Prince's Tutor, the Crown Prince's Guardian, Eunuch Chang and others rushed over after hearing the news.
When they learned that the prince had been assassinated, they were all very nervous.
Only after they confirmed with their own eyes that the prince was safe and sound did they feel relieved.
Fortunately, the prince is fine, otherwise all of them would be doomed.
Luo Qinghan had already gotten out of bed, and Xiao Xixi also wanted to get out of bed, but he wrapped her in a quilt.
He warned in a low voice: "Stay still and don't move."
"oh."
Xiao Xixi was wrapped in a quilt with only her head exposed. Her long hair was loose, making her oval face look even whiter and more delicate.
This scene fell into the eyes of everyone present, and the reactions were different.
Eunuch Chang and Zhao Xian knew Xiao Liangdi's identity and were not surprised by this.
But other people don’t know the inside story!
In the eyes of others, the prince just fell in love with a little eunuch!
Although this little eunuch has a handsome face, he is a eunuch after all!
The Prince's Junior Tutor and the Prince's Junior Protector were extremely sad. The way they looked at Xiao Xixi was no different from the way they looked at a treacherous villain who brought disaster to the country and the people.
It was all because of this little devil that she defiled their pure and innocent Crown Prince!
Xiao Xixi shrank her neck at their fierce stares, feeling confused. The assassins were not sent by her, so why were they staring at her like that? She was innocent too.
After a brief moment of surprise, the young prince Nie Changping showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect you to like this. Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known that Xiao Xi was your man, I would definitely not dare to tease him."
Luo Qing looked at him coldly: "Try to say another word of nonsense."
Thinking of the inhuman torture he had endured over the past month, Nie Changping immediately gave in and dared not speak nonsense anymore.
When Eunuch Chang saw that the Crown Prince was still in his pajamas, he quickly took out his coat and put it on him to prevent him from catching a cold.
Luo Qinghan succinctly recounted the assassination attempt.
The Prince's Tutor and the Prince's Protector knelt down and admitted their mistakes in unison.
"It was our incompetence that caused the Crown Prince to be attacked by an assassin. We are willing to accept the punishment!"
