"Princess, be careful."

Yanzhi turned around and faced the sharp blade coming at such a fast speed that her mind went blank.

However, the secret guard took action quickly, and a bullet from someone unknown hit the third princess's arm. Her arm went numb, and the sharp blade in her hand fell to the ground. Because she rushed too fast, she bumped straight into Han Rui.

The secret guard stood steadily in front of Han Rui, squinting at her, as if he was looking at a person who was about to die. His eyes sent chills down the spine for no reason.

Liuli jumped in the air and grabbed the third princess's arm, saying in a low voice: "The other party is coming prepared. Princess, let's retreat first, otherwise we will have to answer here today."

The third princess looked at Han Rui and gritted her teeth, refusing without even thinking: "I have been waiting for such an opportunity for many years, and I won't leave."

She wanted to rush forward, but Liuli stopped distinguishing and knocked her unconscious with a slap, carried her body into the dense forest, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yanzhi became anxious: "We must catch the third princess."

The men in black from before also scattered in all directions, and the secret guards were ordered to pursue them.

Under the cold moonlight, there were only a few lonely corpses left, and the tea on the table was still warm.

Han Rui held the table and sat down, rubbing her brows, "Send a few people to find the Marquis. Don't move rashly. The rest will go all out to hunt down the third princess Yan Ning."

"yes."

The carriage was ready. Yanzhi carefully helped her get on the carriage and brought her some cakes. "Princess, you must not take risks like this in the future. Normally, this slave thinks that the third princess is not a good person, but she doesn't

To think she has such a big appetite."

"Yes, no one expected that she would play with me like a fool."

Thinking of the original owner in the book, Han Rui can only say that she is really mentally retarded. No normal person can see that the third princess has an agenda. The terrible ambition in her low self-esteem is always at work.

Yanzhi hesitated for a moment, "It's just that I think it's strange. Liuli didn't know kung fu before, but today she..."

Han Rui sighed softly, "The palace is not as strict as we imagined. This time when we return to Princess Gong Shu, we need to check it carefully."

How could Concubine Shu not know that her daughter could calmly bribe so many people with strong martial arts skills to sacrifice their lives, and also keep a girl with strong martial arts skills as a palace maid by her side without even knowing it?

"It's broken, Princess Shu."

She sat upright suddenly, then struggled to open the carriage curtain and told the two secret guards outside: "Leave one of you alone, and the other will return to Zhaoyang Palace immediately to protect the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

The secret guard looked at her suspiciously.

"Go quickly, Yan Ning must have colluded with Concubine Shu. The Marquis is not here, Uncle Dong Ting is not here, and I am not here. The Queen Mother and the Emperor are in danger."

Rouge was so frightened that she spilled all the tea she had just brewed on her body. She grimaced in pain, but she couldn't care about anything at the moment.

One of the secret guards immediately rode away and galloped away. In the dark night, only the sound of horse hooves could be heard, gradually getting further away.

Han Rui took the ointment from Yanzhi's hand and carefully applied it on the back of her already red hand. Dark clouds surged in her beautiful eyes, and she couldn't help but breathe faster.

"I was negligent. After all, I underestimated Yan Ning and ignored Concubine Shu."

She took a long breath, and the pain in her heart began to spread everywhere.

At this time, the Zhaoyang Palace was brightly lit. Concubine Shu was still dressed in a blue suit that was not old, but she was wearing a shiny white fox fur. She looked proudly at the Queen Mother who was sitting upright above her.

."The Queen Mother didn't expect it, did she?"

She made a gesture, and a Imperial Guard came in with the young emperor in his arms. The little emperor, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and had not yet grown up, was held under his arm by the Imperial Guard. His face was red from holding it in, and he did not forget to scold him.

: "How dare you disrespect me."

The Queen Mother suddenly stood up and stretched out her hands in the direction of the Young Emperor. Concubine Shu signaled the Imperial Guards to send the Young Emperor to her side. Her armored hands gently touched the Young Emperor's smooth and fair face.

, looking quite obsessed.

"Look, the emperor looks really like the late emperor."

"Shu Taifei, the emperor is still young, you will scare him."

She tried her best to calm herself down.

As if she heard some big joke, Princess Shu pushed the young emperor to the side of the imperial guards, and then slowly took out a bright yellow scroll from her sleeve.

"Sister, look at it."

Qiu Chan calmly stepped forward and took the scroll and presented it to the Queen Mother.

"Do you want the emperor to abdicate?"

She looked lovingly at the young emperor who was imprisoned by the guards, with a compassionate look on her face.

Concubine Shu said with a smile on her face, "If sister doesn't want to, I'm afraid our little emperor will die soon."

"you dare."

The Queen Mother suddenly stood up and looked directly at Concubine Shu, "The Ai family didn't expect that there was a wolf around them."

"Sister, don't be angry. Parents love their children for their own purposes. You have a son, and so do I. Why can your son be the emperor, but my son can only be trapped in the cold palace?"

The Queen Mother's face turned pale, and she rushed to Concubine Shu desperately, staring closely at the face in front of her. She understood everything in an instant, and was so shocked that she almost fainted.

Until the sound of footsteps sounded, she turned her head, and a teenage boy wearing a dragon robe came slowly under the guidance of the eunuch. The cowardice in his eyes immediately betrayed him.

The child walked behind Concubine Shu and did not dare to look at the Queen Mother.

"A child who was raised in a cold palace and has not yet entered the imperial family wants to come out and claim the title of emperor. Don't you think this is ridiculous, sister?"

The two children are about the same age, but their aura pales in comparison.

This sentence completely angered Concubine Shu, and a cold light flashed in her aging eyes, "Yes, Chen'er did not go to Royal Jade Butterfly, but why doesn't my sister know better than me? Today, my sister asked me to

I have to give in. If I don’t let you, mother and son, go together to serve the late emperor.”

The young emperor was imprisoned by the imperial guards without saying a word. At this time, seeing the situation in the palace, the little man spoke: "Shumu Concubine just wants to give my brother a place to stay. I immediately issued an edict to confer my brother on the throne."

As the King of Zhao, the fiefdom will be chosen by my brother and my concubine Shu."

His little voice still has a childish tone.

Concubine Shu covered her mouth and smiled. Her former beauty was vaguely visible in her smile, but it was more cold and cold, which made people feel goosebumps all over their ears.

"You are such a good boy, are you willing to give up your throne to your brother?"

She looked at the young emperor expectantly.

The Queen Mother and Qiu Chan looked at each other, their temples twitching with anger and their lips trembling, but they did not interrupt. They silently looked at the little person who was being coerced by the imperial guards, and then glanced at Concubine Shu.

The child behind him had a satisfied smile on his face.

Facing Concubine Shu's expectant gaze, the young emperor nodded and shook his head, and said seriously: "If my brother wants it, I am willing, but my throne was personally determined by my father when he passed away. If I

If you give in, wouldn't it make your father's spirit in heaven uneasy..."

Concubine Shu was delighted when she heard the first half of the sentence. After hearing it, she was so angry that she slapped the young emperor hard, "I don't know what it means."

The Queen Mother couldn't bear it anymore, "How dare you slap the Emperor? You are crazy."

Looking at her son again, there were five finger prints on his fair and tender face, and there were blood marks scratched by the armor on the side of his chin. She couldn't help but feel the blood surge again.

"If you don't drink a toast, you'll be punished with a drink. Do you think it's still you, mother and son, who have the final say now?"

She rolled her eyes at the Queen Mother and walked directly onto the high Huanghuali seat. She put her hands comfortably on the armrests and waved to her son to come forward.

Yan Chen, who was wearing a dragon robe, glanced at the Queen Mother in fear, then quickly lowered his head and followed the eunuch carefully to the side of Princess Shu, his eyes no longer daring to look around.

"Chen'er, don't be afraid. From today on, you have the final say in the palace. No, it's the whole world. You don't need to be afraid of anyone."

Yan Chen raised his head and glanced at Concubine Shu. After receiving encouragement, he immediately raised his head high.

"Concubine, I don't like them."

He stretched out his finger and pointed at the Queen Mother and then at the Young Emperor. When the Queen Mother's eyes came into contact, he immediately lowered his head.

Concubine Shu quickly hugged him into her arms and said, "What a good boy, my mother doesn't like him either."

"Sister has a deep love for the late emperor, so she should go and accompany the late emperor. However, since you and the eldest princess have left, it is not a good idea to leave a lonely child behind. So I will be merciful and let you mother and son go on the journey together."

As soon as she waved her hand, someone from the palace immediately came forward and controlled the Queen Mother and Qiu Chan.

"What did you say, what happened to Chu Rui?"

"Sister, don't worry, you and your daughter will be reunited in Huangquan later."

The eerie smile appeared on her face again. Someone from the palace brought a tray. The two jade cups on the tray exuded a warm luster under the light. They contained the poisonous wine awarded by the palace to the nobles who made mistakes.

.

"Sister Huang will not die, she will never."

The young emperor retorted fiercely, bit the imperial guard on the arm, and then ran towards the Queen Mother.

"Mother, the emperor's sister will not die."

He looked at the Queen Mother seriously, the little person's face was firm.

The palace man stepped forward to hold him down, and the jade cup was already close to him.

The Queen Mother turned her head and looked at him: "Is the Emperor afraid?"

The young emperor suddenly nodded with tears in his eyes: "I'm afraid the emperor will cry when she comes back."

The Queen Mother couldn't help crying even if her words made her angry, but mother and son couldn't even hold each other at the moment.

"Sister, don't delay any longer and get on your way quickly. If you wait too long, you won't be able to catch up with the eldest princess."

Concubine Shu was very impatient.

Seeing that she was annoyed, the palace servants who had already prepared did not dare to delay any longer and immediately drank the poisonous wine in the cup to the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor.

Han Rui, who was on her way to the palace, suddenly felt a dull pain in her chest. The pain spread to her whole body in an instant, and she curled up in pain.
