While Aleshi was dealing with the imperial guards in the palace, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. An inexplicable panic came over him, making his hands and feet numb.
"The Great Prince!"
Armani blocked the knife for Aleshi, "What's wrong with you, Prince?"
Aleshi closed her eyes, stood back to back with Armani, and looked around, but there was no sign of Lance.
"I have a bad feeling..."
"What?"
Alesi panted and asked, "Where's Lance?"
Armani was shocked: "With Paul protecting him, he should be fine. If he doesn't run into Lu Ren..."
At this time, the Fushou Hall was completely polarized.
Compared with the embarrassment of envoys such as Aleshi, the emperor remained calm and composed.
After the imperial guards came to report the news about the city gate, the emperor said, "Let Lu Ren go to the city gate."
"Your Majesty, I heard from them that they seemed to have seen the figure of Mr. Yu at the city gate."
Yu San's message hadn't been delivered to the emperor yet. When he heard this, the emperor's calmness suddenly disappeared and his brows furrowed. "What did you say?"
Lin Yuzhi, who was also planning the strategy nearby, also suddenly changed his expression.
Yu Yi is at the city gate?
Shouldn't he send the princess back to the palace and stay with her?
The emperor said in a heavy tone: "Come here, go to the Damei Palace to see if the princess is in her bedroom."
"Let Lu Ren go to the city gate."
At this time, Lu Ren was approaching Lance.
Ji Yue had not drunk so much blood for a long time. He seemed excited. The tip of the knife flashed with blood, and it was all swallowed up.
"Today is the day you die."
The envoys surrounding Lance were as nervous as if they were facing a great enemy.
After all, who hasn't heard of Lu Ren's reputation on the battlefield?
Lance himself was not nervous at all. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "If you kill me, Wen Yu will be angry."
Lu Ren:?
Lance tore open his collar, revealing a deep "妤" on his chest, which was crookedly branded on his body.
It was Wen Yu who branded him with a branding iron herself when he was trapped in the Dali Temple's Ministry of Punishment.
"Did you see it? She branded it herself. Did you have it?"
Lance laughed arrogantly.
Lu Ren narrowed his eyes and sneered, "You are not worthy of the name of princess."
"And if I kill you, the princess will only clap her hands in approval."
Lance looked a little unnatural when he heard this: "Really?"
He retreated behind the envoy and flew away: "Stop Lu Ren!"
Although the envoys were elite troops from various countries, they were already at the end of their strength at this time. However, they still obeyed orders and entangled Lu Ren, fighting with their lives, just to gain a little chance of survival for his departure.
Lu Ren frowned.
At this time, Aleshi came running over and saw that there were many of his subordinates among them. He couldn't help but shouted: "General Lu, please show mercy!"
How could Lu Ren stop just because of a few words? Aleshi took Lu Ren's knife blow and his palms suddenly felt numb and a taste of rust came out of his throat.
"General Lu."
"It's you."
Lu Ren did not show mercy because of the friendship between them and slapped him on the chest.
Aleshi took another blow and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"General Lu, we have delayed this time, you can't catch up with Lance."
Lu Ren naturally knew what was going on.
He looked at Aleshi with a cold expression: "What did Lance promise you?"
Alesi covered his chest and coughed up a mouthful of blood. "The king has given orders, and the minister has no choice but to obey. My father asked me to put Lance's life first."
The other envoys obviously received the same order.
"Ridiculous." Lu Ren had a blank expression on his face.
At this time, a guard ran up and said something in Lu Ren's ear.
Lu Ren's expression changed: "What?! Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"I am not sure, but His Majesty asked you to command at the city gate."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ren immediately turned around and left: "The palace is left to the imperial guards."
At the city gate, Yu Yi's dagger was completely stained with blood, and its original appearance could not be recognized.
When Lu Ren came, he noticed Yu Yi at first sight.
He subconsciously searched for Wen Yu's figure nearby.
What if something happens to the princess in such a dangerous situation?
He didn't want to go through what happened at Hunting Tooth Cliff again.
"Yuyi, where's the princess?"
Yu Yi paused, then flew to Lu Ren's side and asked, "Hasn't the news about Yu San been delivered yet?"
"What?"
At this time, the emperor who had just received the message from Yu San said:
The imperial sister is simply fooling around!
In a courtyard on the outskirts of the city, Ning Xuanyan gently put Wen Yu on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then told Hua Yao, "Ask the kitchen to prepare some food, including pear cake."
Huayao: ...
Qing pear cake?
My Lord, when have you ever eaten pear cake, a dish that girls like to eat?
She was silent for a moment and went to the kitchen.
The cloth on Liuchun's eyes had been removed. She sat on the edge of the bed and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wen Yu was still sleeping soundly.
Along the way, she was afraid that Ning Xuanyan would separate her from the princess.
When Wen Yu woke up, it was already bright.
She opened her eyes and felt a very strong arm around her waist and a hot chest against her back.
"You finally woke up." Ning Xuanyan stared at Wen Yu's profile with clear eyes. Her long and thick eyelashes fluttered up and down vividly after she woke up.
Wen Yu blinked and turned her head to look.
Ning Xuanyan was shirtless, hugging her tightly from behind, his delicate chin resting on her shoulder, his brows full of laziness and satisfaction.
Wen Yu expressionlessly slapped him in the face with her backhand. There was a very loud "pa" sound.
Ning Xuanyan: ...
The corners of his eyes twitched, but he didn't say anything.
Wen Yu said, "You poked me with a stick right after I woke up. Do you want to be beaten?"
Ning Xuanyan: ...
He reacted quickly, curled his lips, and his ears reddened.
Is it that obvious?
