"Jinghua, what's going on?"
Nan Rongqing, with her wide sleeves folded behind her back, frowned as she looked at Nan Rongjinghua and questioned her, "Under the Emperor's feet, in broad daylight..."
It's absurd that an assassination attempt could happen at the Imperial Academy. Fortunately, no students were injured. If they had, how would he have explained it?
"Master, you are injured."
Helian Si acted as if Nan Rongqing didn't exist. The Master's silver robe was stained with blood on the arm; his handsome brows furrowed as he looked at the group of guards and gave them orders.
"Go find a doctor."
"Yes, Princess." Everyone in the Imperial Academy knew Helian Si. Since the princess had spoken, they, as her subordinates, naturally obeyed unconditionally.
"It's alright, I'm fine."
Nan Rong Jinghua shook his head gently, patting Helian Si's head with his hand. His divine face and gentle eyes beneath his long silk robes showed that he had arrived in time and that Asheng was alright.
Gu Haozhi had recovered his senses and stood aside watching the two of them. He lowered his eyes and felt a pang of sadness. In the end, it was the princess who saved him.
“Princess, this matter concerns you. Do you not wish to give this old minister an explanation?”
Nan Rongqing's expression was very bad, and his words already carried a hint of displeasure. He had always been respected, and now that he was old, he was even more beloved by the students. When had he ever been treated like this?
“peng”.
With a dull thud, a black-clad man covered in blood crashed down in front of Nan Rongqing.
"Princess, we have failed in our duty. Please punish us."
Emperor Ying knelt on one knee and spoke respectfully to Helian Si. His face was covered with a black cloth, and only his sinister eyes could be seen.
Nan Rongqing's expression shifted repeatedly, becoming extremely grim. The man in black before her, covered in blood, was of uncertain fate, his life hanging in the balance.
It was clearly the same assassin from before, and Di Ying unceremoniously threw the assassin in front of Nan Rongqing.
Even if this is the explanation that Nan Rongqing just asked for, this behavior is extremely impolite.
But Di Ying didn't think anything of it. He was Di Ying, and he only obeyed the Emperor. The Emperor ordered him to protect the little princess.
He had been secretly protecting the princess since she was a chubby little baby, practically watching her grow up.
A mere tutor from the Imperial Academy dared to speak rudely to the princess and question her; it's a miracle he didn't kill him.
"Cough, this person is dead?"
The guards had just brought the doctor over to bandage Nanrong Jinghua's wounds. Helian Si stepped forward, looked at the man in black lying on the ground covered in blood, and asked Di Ying.
"No, he's still breathing."
This was a suicide squad member who had sensed the man's intentions. When the man tried to commit suicide by poisoning himself, the squad member controlled the man's pressure points and crippled him in the process.
Helian Si raised an eyebrow slightly, waved his hand to let Di Ying stand up, and then squatted down, looking at the man in black on the ground as if he were studying some rare species.
It's true that in recent years, my father has been attacking various states, and Northern Yin has become increasingly powerful. Those who want my father's life and those who want their own dog's life are a different story.
Sigh, it's getting worse and worse. There's nothing I can do about it; this is probably the daily life of a villainous tyrant's daughter. You'll get used to it.
However, usually, before the assassins even appeared in front of them, Emperor Shadow and several guards would quickly throw them into the snake pit behind the mountain.
She had the good fortune to have seen several dead assassins, but this was the first time she had ever seen an assassin who wasn't quite dead yet.
With her delicate oval face and beautiful peach blossom eyes, she blinked, picked up a book from the side, and gently poked the assassin.
"Hey brother, you're something else. You're the first assassin in all these years who has tried to kill me to actually see me alive."
assassin:"……"
