Chapter 96 Then, let’s start the war! (Part 2)
It happened in the blink of an eye. A strong wind blew and a Buddhist bead knocked the arrow off course. Yun Zheng's training these days also made her body react extremely quickly, and she quickly leaned backwards.
The long arrow brushed Yun Zheng's scalp and flew towards the pillar, piercing into it deeply, going three feet into the wood.
The masters of the Mingjing Division all rushed out at the same time. At the same time, a man holding a bow and arrow jumped out from the darkness and fled frantically.
In front, several more members of the Mingjingsi rushed out, blocking the man in the middle and attacking him from the front and back.
The incident happened suddenly, everyone was pushing and running, in chaos, and screams were heard everywhere.
Before Ye Yizhen could react, she was pushed down and fell heavily to the ground. She was terrified and cried for help in fear, "Mom, save me."
However, Princess Yong'an was also in danger at this time. She was protected by several guards and hid behind a pillar.
Ye Yizhen looked at the man pushing the wheelchair running towards her, and her eyes lit up like a drowning person seeing the last piece of driftwood.
"Uncle, save me."
I didn't expect that my uncle was so soft-hearted. No matter how much he hated her, he would still run to her at the critical moment.
However, Li Wuyang ignored her, passed by her, and rushed towards Yun Zheng without looking back.
Ye Yizhen watched his receding figure with her own eyes, the hope in her eyes turned into despair, and a strong hatred rose from the bottom of her heart.
Zi Yan had already brought Yun Zheng to the beam and was holding her securely there.
Li Wuyang looked at the pale-faced woman in red. His heart felt as if it was being grabbed by an unknown big hand, and he felt a little breathless.
"How are you?"
Yun Zheng had a narrow escape, and was sweating coldly. Her heart was pounding, but she still managed to hold on, "I'm fine."
She never shows her vulnerability and tears in front of others, because the enemy will only think that she is weak and can be bullied, and will become more unscrupulous.
Li Wuyang's eyes narrowed, "You are injured."
Yun Zheng wiped her forehead, her hand was covered in blood, but she didn't feel any pain.
"It's okay, just a scratch, a blessing in disguise."
Li Wuyang pulled out a jade bottle from his bosom and threw it over. "It's a wound medicine. It will stop bleeding quickly after you apply it. Then let the imperial physician take a look and prescribe an ointment that won't leave scars."
Yun Zheng took it silently and asked Zi Yan to help her apply it on the wound.
She looked at Li Wuyang's wrist, and it was empty. The Buddhist beads that she never took off were gone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."
Li Wuyang looked at her deeply, with something indescribable in his eyes.
Before Yun Zheng could see clearly, he turned around and shouted.
"Everyone, don't run. Get down. Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed."
It took three shouts before the panicked people heard him and started squatting on the ground.
Upon seeing this, the Minister of Revenue and the Vice Minister of Works stepped forward to disperse the crowd.
On this side, the situation was under control. On the other side, when the assassin was about to be captured, he resolutely bit off the poison hidden in his teeth. Black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his body fell to the ground, and he stopped breathing instantly.
Guyu was unable to save him and could only go forward to search for the body, but found nothing. He kicked it in frustration and then turned to Li Wuyang, "Your Highness, the killer committed suicide by taking poison."
He took a deep breath and said, "It's a dead soldier."
Not everyone can afford to support a group of assassins.
Li Wuyang's face was as gloomy as water. "Investigate thoroughly. Dig three feet underground to find this clue."
"yes."
Yun Zheng frowned. Who was it that sent out assassins to kill her?
She looked at Princess Yong'an with suspicion. At this time, Princess Yong'an was squatting in front of Ye Yizhen, looking anxious and worried.
"Yizhen, Yizhen, how are you?"
Ye Yizhen was stepped on several times when she was in chaos just now. She was in so much pain that she cried.
"Mom, it hurts."
After a quick inspection, a guard frowned and said, "The right leg is broken. It needs to be reattached quickly."
A trace of despair rose in Ye Yizhen's heart. Her left hand was disabled, and now it was the turn of her right leg?
God is so unfair to her!
Hatred surged up like a tide, her eyes bloodshot. "Yun Zheng brought this disaster upon herself. She's a jinx."
Princess Yong'an looked around and shouted, "Yun Zheng, if anything happens to Yi Zhen, I will not let you go."
"Let's go and take the young lady back to the mansion for treatment first."
Li Wuyang waved his right hand, and the Mingjing Division surrounded them.
Princess Yong'an was furious and said, "Ninth brother, tell your people to make way."
Li Wuyang's expression was terrifyingly cold, "Second sister, shouldn't you explain?"
Princess Yong'an's face flushed with anger. "What do you mean?"
Li Wuyang pointed at the mess and said, "It's neither too early nor too late, but Princess Jinyun's attack at this time seems more like a way to save you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene became quiet and the atmosphere changed immediately.
Princess Yong'an gnashed her teeth. "What nonsense are you talking about? She offended people wherever she went and had too many enemies. That's why she brought about her own death. What does this have to do with me?"
Yun Zheng snorted coldly, "Your Highness, the eldest princess is colluding with the emperor's trusted eunuchs, intending to interfere with the imperial power. The emperor should be informed."
She was talking nonsense, but some people believed her.
Especially for emperors who are suspicious by nature, they would rather kill three thousand people by mistake than let one go.
Princess Yong'an's pupils shrank. "Ninth brother, you won't let this wild girl manipulate you, will you? I'm beginning to suspect that there's something fishy going on between you two."
She hinted at something, and Li Wuyang's expression darkened. "Come here, invite Princess Yong'an and her daughter to visit the Mingjing Division."
Mingjingsi? Ye Yizhen was about to collapse. She would never go to that damn place.
Princess Yong'an held her head high, extremely arrogant, "I won't go, unless you dare to take action against me, the Imperial Sister."
Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, a guard of the imperial army rushed in.
"The Emperor's order."
Everyone lowered their heads and listened to the order.
The imperial guards read aloud, "Prince Rui, Princess Yong'an, Princess Jinyun, and the Minister of Justice, Ye Yizhen, are here to see the emperor."
Princess Yong'an felt a little uneasy. "My daughter's leg is injured. Why don't we send her to get treated first?"
"I am following orders, please don't make things difficult for me."
Princess Yong'an had no choice but to have Ye Yichen carried into the palace.
Along the way, Yun Zheng looked at the scenery on both sides with an indifferent expression, without saying a word.
Zi Yan was secretly shocked when she saw her like this. It seemed like the calm before the storm.
After going through layers of inspection, the group successfully entered the palace and was taken to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The emperor was reviewing memorials, and everyone saluted in unison. Ye Yizhen also gritted her teeth and persevered, her forehead covered in cold sweat.
The emperor raised his head slightly and scanned everyone with his cold eyes.
When the atmosphere was frozen, Yun Zheng suddenly said, "Your Majesty, your Crown Princess Ye Yizhen is here. Hurry up and greet her."
Everyone: ...It's you who's causing trouble!
Ye Yizhen just wanted to faint immediately and know nothing.
The princess was stunned. How dare she be so crazy? How dare she?!
