There is indeed a problem with the Praetorian Guards.
Twenty or thirty meters away, Zhou Shan and his men hid behind the wall and did not come to help at all.
Seeing that it was almost done, Zhao An shouted, "General Zhou, quickly escort us!"
As soon as he shouted, no one responded.
The situation is out of control.
The Queen Mother's bodyguards did not show up, and neither did the Royal Guards. If no one came, the play would not go on.
The most annoying thing is that something is wrong with Luo Qingshuang. Others saw the assassin running away long ago, but she had no intention of running away. Instead, she smiled half-heartedly as if she was watching a show.
Damn it, everyone is the sixth child!
Now that there is no other way, Zhao An can only struggle and continue to hide, otherwise Chang Ming will look like a street kid with his sword, and he will not look like he is here to kill someone.
Then Zhao An was kicked several times in a row until Zhao An's internal organs were displaced.
Fortunately, Chang Ming's swordsmanship was good, and there were many dangers. He even swiped the sword edge against his neck, which was thrilling.
Zhao An managed to escape back to Luo Qingshuang and panted: "Queen Mother, run away! There are assassins and I will protect you!"
"This assassin doesn't seem to be very smart. He won't kill me and the queen, but he chases you, the eunuch, to kill us."
"Maybe I'm just running after my slave. Anyway, let's go quickly."
Zhao An said and kicked Wei Yundiao over. This time Chang Ming was very decisive.
A cold flash of blood spurted out from the sword. Wei Yundiao fell to the ground and twitched, clutching his chest. He was slashed and only had half his life left.
Seeing the man in black approaching with a bloody sword, his murderous intent was revealed.
Luo Qingshuang's sexy and cold face was filled with anger, "Kill."
As soon as the word was settled, a terrifying sound was heard.
Zhao An and Chen Yuru didn't even react when they saw the man in black being pierced through the shoulder by the dark crossbow, and the terrifying force took him flying five or six meters.
It was Changyuan who took action!
The man in black covered his shoulders and ran away. He had just sneaked into the depths of the imperial garden with his front legs. Zhou Shan finally brought someone over with his back legs. He pretended to kneel on one knee and apologized, "I am here to rescue you. Please atone for your sins!" "
"Do you think the Ai family are blind or deaf?"
Luo Qingshuang stepped forward indifferently, and pulled out his saber under Zhou Shan's stunned gaze, "Since you like watching theater so much, then go to the underworld and continue watching."
Pfft——
After the knife passed, Zhou Shan fell to the ground and twitched, clutching his neck, his eyes filled with shock and despair.
The Queen Mother actually dared to kill him!
Chen Yuru had already turned pale with fear, and Zhao An was also shocked.
The old witch is the old witch. She can live or die in a matter of seconds. She is usually so kind-hearted and easy to talk to. I almost forgot that she steamed the little eunuch in the imperial dining room some time ago.
A vicious woman, why would it be strange to kill a commander?
The atmosphere in the air gradually became uncomfortable.
Luo Qingshuang looked over slowly, with mocking and cold eyes, "You lead people to search for the assassin. No matter whether you find him or not, come to Cining Palace."
"This slave takes the order..."
Zhao An felt hairy on his back and felt like he was about to be poked!
Chen Yuru accompanied Luo Qingshuang back to Cining Palace, while Wei Yundiao was carried for treatment.
The golden-armored general watching the show in the main hall pointed in a random direction, as if he was playing a game. He could catch the man in black, and he could also see the direction in which the man in black was dodging, but he never took action again. .
"Trouble, the old witch probably saw through it."
Zhao An gritted his teeth and led people to search the black clothes until they surrounded a large courtyard near Xiufang.
The next second, flames shot into the sky, and the man in black drew fire from Brahma.
With such a big fire, it was too late to rescue.
The commotion was so loud that the officials who were working in the previous office all saw the smoke rising and started talking about it.
The empress also saw it from behind the window. She clenched her fists tightly and was a little nervous.
Although Chang Ming surrendered, he had ulterior motives. Zhao An's mediation with him was equivalent to seeking skin from a tiger, not to mention the Queen Mother and even other back-up men arranged by Chen Guogong.
In just a few moments, the fire completely destroyed the courtyard. Zhao An and his guards carried lanterns to search for the body, but only found a pile of charcoal.
"This is the assassin."
Zhao An immediately made a conclusion and asked people to dispose of the body quickly so as not to pollute the feng shui of the palace.
A group of guards hurriedly carried the charred corpse away.
After a while, Zhao An returned to Cining Palace.
There were no maids or eunuchs waiting inside or outside Cining Palace tonight, only Que'er stood coldly behind Luo Qingshuang.
From the moment Zhao An entered the palace, he was stared at by Luo Qingshuang, making him feel uneasy. He gritted his molars and called out "Queen Mother".
"Slave, the Ai family has told you time and again not to deceive the Ai family. What happened today?"
Luo Qingshuang's expression was cold and calm.
Zhao An had considered the questions she might ask on the way here, so he opened his mouth.
"Most likely, the Duke was offended in the court today, so the Duke wanted the slave's life. Fortunately, the Queen Mother was there, and the slave was lucky enough to protect his life."
"You said that the Duke wanted to kill you? But that assassin was obviously very powerful. Why did he fail to deal with you, a little eunuch?"
"When a man stumbles, a horse stumbles, and the servant does not know it."
"You still dare to quibble. If the Ai family doesn't teach you a lesson, your tail will be raised to the sky."
Luo Qingshuang seemed to be really angry and waved her hand. The maid Que'er suddenly took action. Zhao An was hit with a slap so hard that he almost vomited out his rice. He was kicked away before he could ask for mercy.
This maid is so strong!
Small body, big energy.
Zhao An forced himself to stand up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Miss Que'er, you don't have to be so cruel, right?"
"Lie down."
Que'er frowned and slapped it down.
Zhao An felt that his skull was almost smashed and hit the ground, and he did not dare to stand up again.
After making sure that the person was honest, Queer opened the door and walked out of the hall.
Luo Qingshuang moved her lotus steps to her side, looked down and smiled, "Slave, at most you are a little clever. You want to compete with that old fox Chen Guogong with this method, but you are still far from it. Do you really think he will feel that Chang Ming Self-immolation?”
Zhao An stared and looked away guiltily, "I don't know what the Queen Mother is talking about."
"The Ai family said that nothing in the harem can be hidden from Cining Palace. I asked Que'er to teach you just now for your own good. Go back."
Luo Qingshuang waved her sleeves, and Zhao An struggled to get up, limping out of Cining Palace with his hair disheveled and clutching his chest.
There seemed to be a few pairs of eyes staring at me in the darkness.
"Has the plan been completed today?"
"Does Guo Guo Chen believe that Chang Ming is dead?"
"With Chang Yuan's strength, the shot shouldn't miss the vital point."
Zhao An faltered and thought too much.
Especially Chang Yuan's arrow showed how terrifying Luo Qingshuang was. She didn't lie. Everything in the harem could not be hidden from her eyes. Moreover, she had said this sentence several times, which seemed to imply something.
Does she even know that the emperor is a woman?
Today she was simply cooperating in acting, for what purpose.
Zhao An felt vaguely that he was trapped in a huge quagmire and was somewhat unable to get out.
"Forget it, she shouldn't be an enemy anyway. She might be able to help with the aftermath."
After walking a while further in the darkness, Lotus Leaf stood under the big tree and waved.
