At that moment, she was walking on a path leading to her palace. It was quiet all around, with only the sound of her footsteps echoing. Suddenly, she felt something strange about the ground beneath her feet; it seemed to be loose.
A chill ran down her spine; she immediately realized this might be a trap set by the enemy. Xu Yuehuai remained calm, relying on her quick wit and ability to carefully observe the ground and her surroundings.
She noticed a thin line on the ground, stretching from the middle of the road to the flower bushes beside it. She instantly realized that this was a trap set by the enemy; once she stepped on the line, hidden weapons would be launched from the flower bushes.
Xu Yuehuai took a deep breath, trying her best to remain calm. She carefully avoided the thin thread, moved her feet lightly, and successfully bypassed the trap.
A cold smile appeared on her face, her eyes revealing disdain and determination.
She knew in her heart that as long as she persisted, she would eventually find an opportunity to reveal the truth.
After that, Xu Yuehuai became more cautious and vigilant. She no longer easily trusted anyone, nor did she put herself in dangerous situations.
She began to secretly investigate the enemy's whereabouts and motives, hoping to find the key clues to reveal the truth.
After learning about Xu Yuehuai's situation, Ah Qi, who was outside the palace, sent a female guard named Qin'er to protect Xu Yuehuai.
Qin'er is one of A Qi's most outstanding female bodyguards. She is agile, intelligent, and extremely loyal.
Her arrival made Xu Yuehuai feel much more at ease.
It was a dark and windy night, and Xu Yuehuai was sitting in the courtyard enjoying tea. Suddenly, she saw a dark figure quietly slip into her yard.
Xu Yuehuai immediately became alert. She stared intently at the dark figure, holding her teacup, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
The shadowy figure slowly approached Xu Yuehuai's room. She discovered it was a female bodyguard. This female bodyguard was slender with sharp eyes, clearly not an ordinary maid.
She walked up to Xu Yuehuai, bowed and said, "Miss, I am a female Moon Guard sent by Aqi to protect you. My name is Qin'er."
Xu Yuehuai was stunned for a moment. She did not expect that A Qi would send someone to protect her.
However, she quickly regained her composure and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Qin'er. From now on, you will stay by my side and protect me."
From then on, Qin'er stayed by Xu Yuehuai's side at all times, vigilantly watching for dangers around them. Her eyes were firm and sharp, as if they could see through all pretenses. She and Xu Yuehuai fought side by side, facing various crises together.
In this game of power, Xu Yuehuai and Qin'er are like two shining stars. Although their light is obscured, they still stubbornly shine their own light.
Their existence unsettles the forces lurking in the shadows and gives hope to those who have been misled. Every action they take influences the course of the entire situation, and every decision they make can potentially alter the outcome of the game.
However, the Seventh Princess did not give up on suppressing Xu Yuehuai. She used every means possible to try to completely destroy Xu Yuehuai.
A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and a cruel smile played on her lips. She seemed to regard Xu Yuehuai as a major threat, someone she was determined to eliminate as soon as possible.
In this fierce battle, Xu Yuehuai and Qin'er must exert all their strength to deal with the Seventh Princess's attack.
Every action and every word they uttered had to be carefully considered to avoid falling into the enemy's trap. Their eyes were filled with vigilance and determination, and their actions became even more resolute and decisive.
Once, someone tried to put a sleeping potion in Xu Yuehuai's room, but fortunately Qin'er discovered and stopped it in time.
The next day, Qin'er told Xu Yuehuai about it. Xu Yuehuai was shocked and also very grateful.
"Thank you!"
She knew that without Qin'er's protection, she might encounter misfortune.
Therefore, her trust and reliance on Qin'er gradually deepened. In the days that followed, the relationship between Xu Yuehuai and Qin'er became increasingly intimate.
Although Qin'er was a female bodyguard, her speech and behavior were always very proper and gentle. She also often provided Xu Yuehuai with valuable advice and assistance.
Under Qin'er's protection, Xu Yuehuai's life gradually became more stable.
In this process, Xu Yuehuai not only gained a precious friendship, but also gained a clearer understanding of her direction and goals.
However, this period of good fortune was short-lived. One night, Xu Yuehuai was suddenly attacked by a group of unidentified people.
They were highly skilled and came on strong. Xu Yuehuai and Qin'er were in a predicament. In this critical moment, Qin'er displayed amazing strength and courage.
She single-handedly held off the enemy's attack, giving Xu Yuehuai a chance to escape.
However, Qin'er was unfortunately struck by the enemy and seriously wounded. Xu Yuehuai watched Qin'er fall into a pool of blood with tears in his eyes, his heart filled with grief and anger.
Xu Yuehuai's heart tightened, but she didn't abandon Qin'er. She took a deep breath, suppressing her panic, and gripped the dagger tightly, preparing for the battle to come.
A chilling atmosphere filled the courtyard as assassins charged towards Xu Yuehuai, knives in hand. However, Xu Yuehuai was no ordinary person. She moved with lightning speed, leaping into the air, the dagger in her hand flashing with a blinding cold light.
"Whoosh—" A cold wind swept past, and the assassins only felt a blur before their eyes. Then they saw their companion fall to the ground with a throwing knife stuck in his neck.
Xu Yuehuai's body tumbled in mid-air before landing steadily on the ground.
Qin'er exclaimed in surprise, her respect for Xu Yuehuai growing even stronger upon seeing her so brave.
The remaining assassins looked fearful; they never expected this seemingly frail woman to be so powerful. For a moment, they dared not step forward.
Xu Yuehuai coldly looked at the assassins in front of her, having already made up her mind.
Her figure leaped up again, like a nimble swallow, tracing a graceful arc in the air. The dagger in her hand gleamed coldly in the moonlight, and like a serpent emerging from its hole, it suddenly attacked the two assassins.
Two fatal blows followed in quick succession. The two assassins collapsed instantly, their blood staining the ground crimson.
Xu Yuehuai's eyes held no pity or hesitation, only coldness and determination. Seeing this, the assassins retreated, knowing the woman before them was not someone to be trifled with.
They quickly scattered and attacked her from all directions.
However, Xu Yuehuai did not give them any chance. She immediately took out a specially made smoke bomb, threw it upwards with force, and the smoke instantly spread.
The assassins had never seen anything like it before, and they were momentarily panicked, waving their weapons wildly.
Xu Yuehuai moved through the smoke like a ghost, his throwing knife already slicing through their throats.
