Xuanyuan Ye knew very well that it was useless to ask her.
No matter what he does, she will do it.
"Today is your birthday. Is there anywhere you want to go? I want to hear the truth. If you continue to fool me by saying that you are a little fox, don't blame me for being rude."
Xuanyuan Ye locked his eyes on her.
Jiang Tian looked at him and suddenly smiled: "What I really want to ask for, the emperor will not agree to."
Looking into her eyes, Xuanyuan Ye almost forgot that he had always known what she wanted most.
It's just the freedom to leave the palace and live a stable life.
But he couldn't let her go.
"You can say something else." Xuanyuan Ye avoided her gaze.
Jiang Tian's lips curved: "Then please take me to the river for a stroll. I heard that there are fireflies here, but I have never seen them before." ?.?????.ℂ??
Xuanyuan Ye nodded: "Okay."
There are indeed fireflies by the river.
Xuanyuan Ye saw Jiang Tian's eyebrows softening a lot, thinking that it was not in vain.
However, the accident happened in an instant!
In order to prevent too many people from knowing Jiang Tian's identity, and since this was the area where the Royal Forest Army was stationed, Xuanyuan Ye did not bring too many people with him.
It was in this situation that the assassin appeared.
All the secret guards immediately appeared to protect Xuanyuan Ye's safety.
He is the king of a country. If something goes wrong with him, the world will be in chaos.
Xuanyuan Ye was surrounded like an iron barrel. The moment the assassin appeared, Jiang Tian was firmly protected in his arms.
However, the skills of this group of assassins are very strange, and they are extremely numerous.
I don't know which loophole in their defense they broke to carry out the assassination under such circumstances.
The secret guards went back to report the news, and the remaining people had to wait for the reinforcements to come.
Xuanyuan Ye was protecting Jiang Tian, but for a moment he was unable to use his full strength, and was unexpectedly caught by a shorter and more agile assassin.
The short knife with a cold light passed through the heavy protection of the secret guards and stabbed straight towards Xuanyuan Ye!
But the secret guards are not vegetarians. Years of training have given them physical fitness and skills a hundred times higher than ordinary people. Their bodies are tense to the extreme and ready to go!
Xuanyuan Ye let go of Jiang Tian to prevent her from being implicated by him.
However, it’s too late to tell, and soon—
When the assassin was about to approach Xuanyuan Ye, the short sword suddenly changed its direction. With a twist of his tactics, the sword was like an arrow from the string, heading towards Jiang Tian's heart!
In the flash of lightning, Xuanyuan Ye understood immediately.
The target of this group of people is not him, but Jiang Tian!
He was well protected. Because of Jiang Tian's mistake at this moment, there was no one around him who could stop him.
At this time, Xuanyuan Ye's brain couldn't keep up with the speed of his body. He was the person closest to Jiang Tian. If he didn't block her, no one could block it for her.
"boom!"
The next moment, Xuanyuan Ye hugged Jiang Tian and protected her with his back. The short knife pierced his shoulder and did not stop until it was blocked by a tree. The bloody blade was still trembling.
Xuanyuan Ye vomited a large mouthful of blood.
He saw that Jiang Tian was safe and sound, but it was too late to say anything to her.
The sound of horse hooves getting closer reminded him that reinforcements were coming.
"...An Yi, take her away...be sure not to let her fall into the eyes of others..."
Xuanyuan Ye ordered despite the severe pain.
He must not let those ministers know that he risked his life for a princess from the southern country.
In this case, Jiang Tian will definitely be regarded as a demon concubine who brings disaster to the country.
He is seriously ill in bed and may not be able to save her.
So the safest way is for her to leave first.
When Jiang Tian looked at him, he understood the meaning of his decree.
At this time, Jiang Tian's eyes had lost all of his usual efforts to please him and the smugness he pretended to do, leaving only confusion and confusion.
She looked at him, her eyes full of confusion, and her tone was calm: "Why did you..."
Xuanyuan Ye knew that what she wanted to ask was why he wanted to save her.
The status of the two people is so different. Even if a princess from the southern country dies, she may not be able to find a coffin to restrain her.
And he was the emperor, he was more valuable than anyone else, yet at that critical moment, he risked his own life and blocked her life.
Xuanyuan Ye wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh anymore. The blood on his chest stained his clothes.
He didn't even know if there was poison on the knife.
"...An Yi, take her away quickly...I suddenly got excited today...I came to the river for a stroll...no one else followed...do you understand?"
Although Xuanyuan Ye spoke intermittently, his meaning was obvious.
The secret guards naturally understood, and everyone knelt on the ground: "Yes."
Xuanyuan Ye raised his hand, signaling for An to take Jiang Tian away, and then he fell unconscious.
Jiang Tian was taken along by An Yi and quickly disappeared into the night.
Xuanyuan Ye's injury was so serious that he developed a high fever that night. The imperial doctors stayed up all night, pouring basin after basin of blood. Finally, Xuanyuan Ye's life was saved at dawn.
The palace was tightly guarded and guarded by Imperial Guards everywhere. The emperor was actually assassinated and was almost saved. Everyone in the court was frightened.
But we still have to wait for Xuanyuan Ye to wake up before making a decision.
Xuanyuan Ye was in a coma for three days and three nights. When the short knife passed through his shoulder, he felt that one of his organs had been severely damaged, but he didn't want to die.
His grand plans and great achievements have not yet been realized, the Southern Kingdom has not been conquered, and Jiang Tian's heart has not been gained.
If he were allowed to die like that, his life would be too boring.
He was able to wake up because his will to live was so strong.
