"There's an assassin, protect the Queen!"
All the soldiers gathered around the queen and surrounded her to protect her.
Seeing the chaotic scene and not seeing Li Han around, the Queen was worried that something had happened to her, so she quickly called out, "Li Han, Li Han, are you okay? Where are you now?"
Li Han heard the Queen's cry and responded, "Your Majesty, I'm fine. I'm here!"
"Come here quickly and don't run around!" The queen's face was full of worry.
Li Han put the heart knot in his hand into his arms and ran towards the queen.
When the assassin saw Li Han trying to run away, he immediately knocked down all the guards who were besieging him and rushed straight towards Li Han. The cold light of the sharp blade in his hand flashed in Li Han's eyes.
Seeing that person chasing her relentlessly, Li Han knew that this person was coming for her. She couldn't help but think of the bloody disaster that the system had warned her about before. It seemed that the system's bad mouth really worked.
Seeing the sharp blade about to stab at her, Li Han closed her eyes tightly in fear, thinking that she was really going to die this time. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Li Han heard someone shouting to her: "Your Highness, please hurry up and go to the Queen. I'm here!"
Li Han opened her eyes and found that the person in front of her was the soldier general who had opposed her while driving. She had originally looked down on him, but now seeing him risking his life to save her, her heart was filled with gratitude.
"You little thief, I think you are quite courageous. You actually dared to assassinate the Queen in broad daylight. This time, I will make you bleed to death on the spot and pay for your crime!" The general said sternly at this moment.
However, the assassin didn't seem to take him seriously. He swung the knife in his hand and stabbed him. The two of them owed each other nothing. You used a knife and I used a sword, but neither of them had the upper hand.
After all, that general was a veteran who had fought in many battles and led troops in battle. He was fearless in the face of millions of enemy troops and could come and go freely. Naturally, he did not take this little assassin seriously.
The two of them were in a stalemate. Seeing that Li Han was about to run to the queen, the assassin's eyes flashed with a fierce look.
He knew that if he didn't kill Li Han this time, there might not be a next time, so he must seize this opportunity. However, the person in front of him who was equally powerful as him was a problem, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
The assassin glanced at the wishing tree nearby and saw that the tree was full of bamboo plaques prepared by people for this wishing festival, which were filled with beautiful wishes for the future. Next to the tree were incense sticks prepared for believers to pray for God's blessing.
At this moment, the assassin immediately deflected the blade and flew towards the blessing tree. He picked up the incense ash and threw it over. The general subconsciously chopped at him with his sword.
As the incense ash burner broke, all the ashes inside flew out. The air was filled with ashes, blocking the general's vision. The assassin took this opportunity to bypass the general and rushed towards Li Han.
The assassin saw that there were too many soldiers around Li Han, and it was impossible for him to rush in alone and escape safely. So he had an idea, gathered his true energy, and concentrated all his strength on his arms, intending to turn the knife in his hand into a dart, fly over the crowd, and take Li Han's life.
Just as the assassin was about to throw the knife, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and knew that there was someone behind him. The sudden panic made his arm tremble. Although the sword in his hand flew out, it deviated from its track because of his panic.
The assassin turned over and avoided the attack of the general behind him, because he had no weapon in his hand at the moment. He knew that he was no match for the general. If he didn't leave, he might not be able to escape safely. So he didn't care about anything else and turned around and left.
Because the scene was already chaotic, the assassin quickly disappeared after escaping into the crowd. It was impossible to chase him, so he had to give up and turned away. When he turned around, he saw a shocking scene.
The assassin's knife was flying straight towards the queen. The general shouted, "Queen, be careful!"
After being reminded by the general, everyone looked towards the flying knife following the sound. Some people wanted to stop it, but the power and speed of the flying sword were too strong. Before they could react, the knife with a sharp cold light flew over the crowd.
Seeing that the knife was about to stab the queen, the people around were helpless and could only shout in unison: "Queen!"
At this moment, Li Han suddenly pushed the queen beside him aside, and the flying knife pierced straight into Li Han's shoulder, and then he fell to the ground.
Li Han fell to the ground, staring blankly at the sky. She only felt pain in her shoulders and the ground was cold. She wanted to sleep and talk, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them and she couldn't muster any strength. Slowly, Li Han closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"Li Han!" Seeing Li Han fall to the ground with a sword in his hand, the queen widened her eyes, shouted in panic, and rushed over.
When Li Han's life was hanging by a thread, Lu Li was still sulking about the previous incident between Li Han and Du Jian, which made him upset, so he devoted himself to government affairs, trying to divert his attention, but it backfired.
Lu Li couldn't sit still before he had read a few of the memorials in his hand. He put down what he was doing and ran around the room like an ant on a hot pan, feeling extremely conflicted.
Knowing that Li Han was already at the place of prayer, Lu Li wanted to rush over to see her immediately. However, when he thought about Li Han's unclear feelings for him and her ambiguous relationship with another man, he became extremely annoyed.
He had originally wanted to see Li Han off, but he was afraid that he would not be able to control his temper and get angry at Li Han, thus ruining her good mood of going to the place of prayer, so he suppressed his impulse and did not go to see her off.
At this moment, a guard ran into the study, panting, and shouted loudly: "General, it's bad, it's bad, something happened..."
"You are the one who is not well. I am fine!" Lu Li, who was already in a bad mood, became even more angry when he heard the guard say that he was "not well".
"No, no, no, it's not you, General, who's in trouble, it's Princess Li Han!" the guard hurriedly explained.
Something happened to Li Han?
Lu Li's mind immediately exploded. He grabbed the guard's shoulders and asked in panic, "What happened to Li Han? Explain it to me!"
The guard gasped for breath, nearly driving Lu Li crazy. "Her Royal Highness was assassinated in the prayer ground. In order to protect the Queen, she was stabbed by the assassin. Now her life or death is unknown!"
Li Han was stabbed!
These words kept swirling in Lu Li's mind. Lu Li's hands couldn't stop shaking. He pushed the guards aside and rushed out the door in a panic, shouting to the guards: "Prepare the horses immediately, call the people, and go to the place of blessing!"
