After Liu Wei finished drawing her fortune and came out, she saw Qin Jue standing outside the door. Her good mood vanished instantly, but thinking about what Qin Jue was about to experience, she cheered up.
Liu Wei walked to Qin Jue's side and spoke to him in a rare good mood and gentle tone, "Let's go back to the palace. Your father is still waiting for you there."
After speaking, Liu Wei went down the steps. Qin Jue stood there watching Liu Wei's retreating figure, raising an eyebrow.
"Assassin! There's an assassin!"
"Protect the Imperial Concubine!!!"
Upon seeing a group of men in black appear, Liu Si immediately shouted.
The guards and the men in black started fighting. At that moment, two men in black approached Qin Jue's carriage and thrust their swords into the carriage.
Qin Jue, inside the carriage, had already understood what Liu Wei wanted to do when Liu Si shouted "assassin!"
Qin Jue lowered his eyes, his hands clenched into fists. He felt a sword thrusting towards him, and dodged to the side. The sword struck Qin Jue's shoulder.
The man in black lifted the carriage curtain, intending to grab Qin Jue, but unexpectedly, Qin Jue jumped out of the carriage and ran into the woods.
Seeing Qin Jue run away, the men in black exchanged glances, then half of them chased after him in the direction he had fled.
The other half continued to pretend to fight with the guards.
Ten men in black followed Qin Jue's figure to the riverbank, but couldn't find him. They began to look around.
Where are they?
"He can't have gone far, hurry and find him."
After the leader of the men in black finished speaking, the others began their search.
"call out--"
With the sound, a man in black fell to the ground, a short arrow still lodged in his neck.
The others immediately became alert upon seeing this. At that moment, another arrow struck one of the men in black, who fell to the ground.
One of the men in black had already seen where the arrow had been fired, so he used his light-footed skill to climb a tree.
Seeing that he had been discovered and that someone was about to put a sword to his neck, Qin Jue, who was still in the tree, jumped down.
The seven men in black below saw Qin Jue and immediately launched an attack.
Before long, Qin Jue was trapped in the middle by several people. He looked at the six people surrounding him, raised his arm, and wiped his face where the sword had just cut him.
This caused even more blood to flow from Qin Jue's face, making his smile rather eerie.
"Fourth Prince, you're quite capable now. If you behave, we'll treat you more swiftly."
"Liu Wei sent you to kill me, didn't she?"
The man in black didn't hide anything and simply replied, "Yes."
Qin Jue picked up a weapon he had taken from a man in black and made a gesture as if to attack.
"Since that's how the Fourth Prince is, don't blame us!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qin Jue sprinkled white and red powder from his sleeve.
The air suddenly became spicier. The white powder blinded the men in black, and the addition of red chili powder made them sneeze incessantly.
Taking advantage of the moment, Qin Jue dealt with three people. The remaining five listened intently to Qin Jue's location in order to avoid his attacks.
Qin Jue used his light-footed skill to reach the tree and threw a pebble at one of the men. Soon, the remaining five men started fighting. Qin Jue tried to take the opportunity to leave, but one of the men in black blocked his way.
Qin Jue was about to walk back when he saw another person behind him. He then engaged the two men in black in a fight.
As Qin Jue killed the last man in black, he was also stabbed in the chest by an arrow.
Seeing the several men in black lying on the ground, Qin Jue quickly clutched his chest and left the woods.
Qin Jue ran along the river, not knowing how long he ran, before collapsing on the riverbank.
A few days later, at the palace
"Useless! You can't even kill one piece of trash?!"
Liu Wei smashed the cup in her hand on the head of a man in black. "He's not a piece of trash; he killed ten of us."
"Ha, two days have passed. I'll give you one last day: find him and kill him."
"This is not an order from us!"
The kneeling Black man left the palace after hearing Liu Wei's words.
"Sister, look! Isn't there someone lying over there?"
A little boy pointed to the riverbank, and a little girl beside him looked in the direction he indicated.
"Yes, Manman, let's go take a look."
The two ran to the riverbank and, upon seeing Qin Jue's pale face, their faces immediately turned ashen.
"Manman, you stay here and watch over him. I'll go get Father."
"Father, there's someone lying over there."
Upon hearing what his daughter had said, the man quickly knelt down beside the little boy. Looking at Qin Jue lying on the ground, the man was astonished.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
The little boy watched his father carry the person away and asked a question.
"Yuanyuan, you take Manman and go with Uncle Hong."
After saying that, the man carried Qin Jue and used his light-footed skill to leave the place.
"Sister, is Dad going to take him to the hospital?"
The girl called Yuanyuan nodded.
At this moment, Uncle Hong came to their side. "Miss, young master, shall we follow as well?"
The two children followed Uncle Hong into the carriage.
