"Be careful!" I shouted these two words almost subconsciously, and at the same time, my body was one step faster than my brain, and I threw the emperor to the ground. Almost at the same time, a black shadow flashed by, and a shining dagger flew past my ear, cutting off a lock of my hair and nailing it to the pillar behind me.

I could even feel the strong wind created by the dagger, and I felt terrified. If it had been a few centimeters off, I would have been dead.

"Guard! Guard!"

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the guards swarmed over and surrounded the assassin.

I was pinned down by the emperor, in an ambiguous position, but I had no time to care about these things. I looked up at the emperor, but saw that his face was livid and his eyes were sinister. I knew that he was angry and wanted to assassinate me, and was also annoyed by my "insubordination".

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" I asked cautiously, but I was worried in my heart that the old emperor was still in good health.

"How dare you Lin Qingya! What do you intend to do by committing treason?!" the emperor shouted angrily, suddenly stood up, grabbed my neck, his eyes full of murderous intent.

I was strangled by him until I was out of breath, my vision went dark, and I cursed in my heart, is this old emperor sick? I saved his life, and he thanked me, but he actually wanted to kill me?

"Ahem... Your Majesty... Assassin, assassin..." I said with difficulty, trying to remind him that the assassin had not been caught yet.

But the emperor seemed to have ignored my words, and the force in his hands became stronger and stronger. I felt my breathing becoming weaker and weaker, and my consciousness began to gradually blur...

"stop!"

Just when I was about to faint, a clear voice rang in my ears, and then a powerful force separated me and the emperor.

I lay limp on the ground, breathing in the fresh air with great force, feeling as if I had walked through the gates of hell.

I turned around and saw Li Rui!

He was dressed in black, his face was as gloomy as water, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and a powerful pressure emanated from his body, like an enraged lion, making 그놊 dare not look directly at him.

"Brother Emperor, what are you doing?" Li Rui asked coldly, with a hint of questioning in his tone.

"Royal brother, you came at the right time. This assassin is clearly in cahoots with her! She intends to murder me, but why don't you quickly capture this rebellious girl?!" The emperor pointed at me and shouted angrily.

A thousand horses were galloping through my mind. Was this old emperor really that old and confused? I saved him, and he actually said that I was an accomplice of the assassin?!

"Brother, be careful with your words! Qingya clearly did this just to save you..."

"Enough!" The emperor interrupted Li Rui's words, "Come, arrest Lin Qingya and interrogate her strictly!"

The guards looked at each other, but dared not step forward.

On one side is the emperor, on the other side is the powerful prince, no one dares to offend them.

"Let's see who dares!" Li Rui stepped forward, protected me behind him, and his tone was icy cold.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense and a big war was about to break out.

I secretly groaned in my heart, this is really a fight between gods, and the little devils are suffering! If I had known this would happen, I should have let the assassin kill the old emperor in one go!

"Brother, I'm afraid there are many misunderstandings about what happened today. How about we wait until the truth is clear?" A voice as gentle as jade sounded, and I turned around and saw that it was Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

Today he was wearing a moon-white brocade robe and a jade crown on his head. His face was as beautiful as jade, he was gentle and elegant, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

I sneered in my heart, this prince is really good at pretending, it's a pity that this play can't win an Oscar!

"Prince, what do you mean by this? Are you going to protect this rebellious girl too?!" the emperor said angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with Li Chengqian's attitude.

"Father, please calm down. I just think this matter is suspicious and it is not appropriate to jump to conclusions." Li Chengqian said humbly, "What's more, Miss Lin is loyal to the court and would never do anything to harm you, father."

"Loyal?" The emperor sneered, "If she was really loyal, why would she collude with the assassin?

I:???

When the hell did I collude with the assassins?!

Does this old emperor think I'm dead?!
