Princess Cheng was stunned by the scene in front of her, the blood-red color piercing her face.
Princess...
died?
"ah--"
Before Princess Cheng could react, she heard a sharp cry in her ears: "Taifei... someone is coming, someone is coming quickly, something happened to the Imperial Concubine, Grandma Jiang killed the Imperial Concubine!!!"
"you…"
Princess Cheng turned her head suddenly and was about to shout angrily, when she saw the servant who was still humble before suddenly grabbed a sharp weapon and rushed towards her.
"Princess, be careful!"
Ling Yin was already on guard, and quickly grabbed Princess Cheng and moved back, sending her to the secret guard sent by the Gu family. Then she turned around to block the sudden attack in front of her, and kept her side aside while fighting with her. He shouted sharply at the Gu family secret guard.
"Protect the princess!"
The "maid" and Ling Yin collided with each other. She landed on the ground and jumped forward again in a flash, heading straight towards Princess Cheng with a fierce look on her face.
The secret guard of the Gu family raised his foot and kicked, and Xiudun beside him flew up and hit the man hard, sending him flying backwards and hitting the door frame hard.
"court death!"
The secret guard of the Gu family gave a cold shout, followed him closely, grabbed the man who was trying to get up, and threw him back against the door leaf.
When the door fell outwards with a crash, the two of them landed on the ground at the same time. The Gu family's secret guard grabbed the dagger she had thrust out and put his backhand across the person's neck.
"With this little ability, you still want to kill people?"
She slammed her knee into the man's stomach, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale, but he suddenly grinned.
Ayane, who was following, suddenly felt something was wrong and shouted anxiously: "Be careful..."
Before he finished speaking, the man from Prince Cheng's Mansion grabbed the hand of the Gu family's secret guard with both hands and screamed miserably.
"Princess, spare your life!!"
She stood up suddenly, stretched her neck forward, grabbed the dagger around her neck and stabbed it hard into her neck. When blood spattered everywhere, the secret guard of the Gu family met him with blood on his face. He looked at the expression on the face of the dagger that had stabbed into the man's neck. sluggish.
"not good!"
Ling Yin couldn't help but cursed lowly, grabbed Princess Cheng and shouted at the Gu family member: "Quickly leave!"
The secret guard of the Gu family was also awakened. Seeing the lifeless "slave" of Prince Cheng's Mansion coming back to his senses, he quickly threw away the dagger in his hand and stood up, wanting to protect Princess Cheng and walk out. However, at this moment, the previous The closed courtyard door was suddenly knocked open.
In the wind and rain, Prince Cheng and his son, together with the guards and servants of the royal palace, stood in front of the full moon gate with a crane pattern through the rain. They faced the three masters and servants of Princess Cheng who were covered in blood with shock on their faces.
"Mother and concubine..."
Xie Yin saw that the person next to Princess Cheng was covered in blood. He looked past the three of them and saw the collapsed door and the servant who was paralyzed on the ground and breathless. His face turned pale: "You guys?"
King Cheng also shouted in shock: "Rong Yue, what are you doing?"
People from Prince Cheng's Mansion surrounded several people. Prince Cheng Ruo panicked and asked people to come forward to check. After seeing that the person lying in front of the door had expired, he hurriedly crossed the messy house and entered. When he came out of the house after a while, his face was full of horror.
"Prince, concubine, concubine is dead..."
King Cheng staggered and almost fell, and ran quickly towards the house. Xie Yin quickly followed. When he saw the dead old concubine in the house, her head and face covered with blood, he froze. On the spot, Huo Ran turned to look at Princess Cheng in disbelief.
The servants of Prince Cheng's Mansion who followed behind also stared wide-eyed.
The princess actually killed the old concubine? !
"Rong Yue!!" King Cheng turned his head with red eyes, looked at Ron Yue who was surrounded in front of the room and said angrily: "Why did you lead people to kill the mother and concubine?!"
Xie Yin also said in a trembling voice: "Concubine, you are crazy, you...you actually killed my grandmother?!"
"not me!"
Princess Cheng's palms were cold. Even if she had known that Xie Tianyu would not let her go tonight and knew that he would set up a trap to harm her, she never expected that he would actually use the old concubine's life to plot against her.
She didn't care what happened to Xie Tianyu, but Xie Yin's frightened eyes made her unable to steady herself.
"A Yin, it was your father who harmed me. When I came, the concubine was already dead..."
"What are you talking about?" Xie Yin was shocked: "My father was with me before, and he advised me not to get angry with you. It was the servant who told me that grandma was awake that he asked me to come with him."
They came here together, and met the old housekeeper and the others on the road. Before they got close, they heard screams inside, and someone shouted "Princess, please spare your life." They hurriedly opened the courtyard door, and then saw people covered with blood. It is the person who follows Princess Cheng in blood.
The old housekeeper stood aside and said tremblingly: "Why did the princess want to harm the prince unjustly?"
"Earlier, people from the concubine's courtyard came to see the old slave, saying that they heard a dispute between Nanny Jiang and the concubine inside. The prince was not in the courtyard, so the old slave hurriedly brought people over and met the prince outside."
"Old slave, I know that you blame the prince for lying to you before and are not on good terms with the concubine. But she is your mother-in-law and the prince's mother. How can you kill her?"
In full view of everyone, Prince Cheng and his son came from outside, but Princess Cheng led people bloody out of the concubine's room.
The body of the murdered man in front of the door was still warm, and the old lady in the house was still there with her eyes open. Add to that the unknown Aunt Jiang lying inside, and anyone would think that she was the one who killed the old lady.
With tears in his eyes, King Cheng hissed: "I think I treat you well. Although I have deceived you, I have never hurt you. I wholeheartedly want to make peace with you. Even if you don't want to get close to me after you return home, I will always tolerate and indulge you. But why did you want to kill my mother-in-law?"
"Thank you! God! Yu!!"
Princess Cheng was so angry that she was shaking all over. She never expected that he could be so shameless. She turned to look at Xie Yin and said, "It was your father who harmed me tonight, and it was he who killed the concubine and put the blame on me. I have never hurt the concubine, it was him who conspired with Grandma Jiang..."
Xie Yin only felt that Princess Cheng's words were ridiculous: "So many people have seen it with their own eyes, and you still want to quibble about my mother? It's impossible for my father to harm my grandmother. On the contrary, you have always disliked my grandmother."
Princess Cheng staggered and looked at Xie Yin in disbelief.
This is her son.
It's the son she has loved for seventeen years!
Princess Cheng only felt that her life for so many years was like a joke, and her face was shaky when she turned pale. Prince Cheng did not give them a chance to talk at all, fearing that the night would be long and full of dreams, so he pretended to be angry and hissed in sorrow.
"Take down the princess, and those around her who dare to murder the dowager, take them all down!"
People around him gathered around and stepped forward, their swords unsheathed.
Qiang——
Sparks flew everywhere, and Ayane's soft whip shot out of the air with a flick of her wrist, instantly flying away the long sword that came suddenly. The Gu family's secret guards over there also hurriedly protected Princess Cheng, sliding out the short blade from her sleeves and the rushing sword. The servants of the palace fought together.
Both of them were good at fighting. They licked blood from their swords and struck fiercely. Princess Cheng was protected behind her. Even though there were only two of them, it was difficult for people from Prince Cheng's palace to get close.
In the heavy rain, the blood became heavier and heavier. Seeing that he could not hold them down for a long time, King Cheng felt a chill on his face.
Tonight's matter must not be delayed, let alone give them a chance to speak.
He glanced behind him, and there were several people over there holding crossbows and pointing them at the crowd. The cold light stood out above them, and the crossbow arrows pierced the void.
"careful!!"
Ayane's expression changed, she spun around and threw Princess Cheng down.
Just when those people in the dark were about to pull off the second crossbow, they heard a sudden sound piercing the air. One of them suddenly screamed, and the hand originally holding the crossbow was severed at the wrist and fell with a "bang". on the ground.
"With the crossbow secretly hidden, does Prince Cheng's Mansion want to rebel?"
Several black shadows emerged from all directions, as if a dark night ghost appeared silently in the courtyard.
Xiao Yan stood on the wall holding an umbrella. In his arms was Song Tangning, who was clinging to his waist because of fear of heights. On the other side, the gate in front of the courtyard that was already sloping was knocked open by someone.
Gu Helian kicked open the broken wood blocking the door, stepped inside and said in a cold voice, "Let me see who dares to touch Rong Yue!"
