Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

The Habayashi guards who were in charge of guarding the palace gate saw the patrolling soldiers approaching, and did not react at first. It was not until the pair of patrolling soldiers were getting closer that the Habayashi guards became vigilant.

One of them reminded loudly.

"Miscellaneous people are not allowed to take a step closer to the palace gate, and those who disobey the order will be killed without mercy!"

Almost at the moment when the words came to an end, the patrol soldiers made a sudden move, their blades cut through the night, and went straight to Habayashi Wei.

The four Habayashi guards fell into a pool of blood before they even had time to yell.

The gate of the palace was bolted from the inside and could not be pushed open from the outside.

The flying dragon riders disguised as patrol soldiers took out the prepared kerosene and poured it directly on the palace gate.

Throw the fire bag over, and the kerosene will burn when it meets the fire.

The fire surged to a high level in an instant, engulfing the entire palace gate in a blink of an eye.

The same situation also happened at several other palace gates.

All palace gates were burned down.

The Habayashi guards hurriedly splashed water to put out the fire, but they still couldn't stop the fire from spreading.

The matter was spread to the ears of King Dongyang.

Li Hao was startled, and asked anxiously.

"Didn't it mean that the four city gates have been sealed? Now the city should be full of our talents, so why would someone sneak attack the palace gate?"

Xu Jiwu was also very surprised by this, but he is old and has experienced far more things than Li Hao, so he is still very calm at this time.

"My lord, don't panic, this subordinate will send someone to investigate."

At this moment, there was another news that the Hu Xiaoying, which was in charge of guarding the south gate, suddenly started demolishing houses. It seemed that they were planning to break out of the siege and enter the city by force!

Xu Jiwu connected the two things, and a guess immediately popped up in his mind.

"It should be that King Zhao is back."

As soon as Li Hao heard the word Zhao Wang, his calves felt a little weak.

He remembered that King Zhao taught him how to ride and shoot in Chongwenkan. At that time, he did not know how to challenge King Zhao, and wanted to compete with King Zhao.

As a result, he was beaten to the ground with one move by King Zhao.

At that time, he never thought that one day he would become an enemy of King Zhao. He only felt that King Zhao was powerful in martial arts, and he admired him a little bit. He looked forward to being as powerful as King Zhao in the future.

But now, he and King Zhao have become enemies, and the two are about to meet on the battlefield.

All those admiration and expectations suddenly turned into panic and anxiety.

Li Hao said with a pale face: "Why did King Zhao come back so soon?"

Xu Jiwu was also very disturbed.

Since King Zhao led the army to fight, he has never lost a battle.

Even compared with Duke Zhen who is good at fighting, King Zhao is not inferior.

Xu Jiwu really didn't think he could beat him.

Li Hao was still asking what to do?

Xu Jiwu said in a deep voice: "Send people to stop the Tiger Roar Camp near the South City Gate first, and don't let their people enter the city. At the same time, let the prisons of the Criminal Ministry, Jingzhao Mansion, and Dali Temple be prepared. If the situation is not good, immediately Release all prisoners."

Li Hao gritted his teeth: "Okay, I will do as you say."

Xu Jiwu: "In addition, you have to keep an eye on Princess Zhao, she may be your life-saving talisman at critical moments."

"This king understands, this king will send someone to bring Princess Zhao here."

...

A group of Habayashi guards suddenly rushed into the Chaoyang Palace, causing everyone in the palace to flee in all directions.

Hua Manman heard the movement outside the house, immediately got up and walked to the window, looked out through the window, and saw a group of Habayashi guards rushing towards here aggressively.

Startled, she turned her head and said to Hua Qingqing.

"Stay inside and don't go out."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party's reaction, Hua Manman strode out.

As soon as she went out, she was surrounded by Habayashi guards.

One of them said sharply: "Princess Zhao, please come with us!"

Hua Manman pretends to be terrified.

"Where are you taking me?"

"You will know when you get to the place."

The Habayashi guards reached out to grab Huamanman.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Hua Manman made a sudden move, pulled out the saber from the waist of one of them, and swept across.

Habayashi Mamoru, who was closest to her, was directly smeared on the neck.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Seeing this scene, those people who were hiding nearby were terrified.

Someone couldn't help but exclaim.

"Killed!"

At this moment, the look of panic on Hua Manman's face had completely disappeared.

With a sullen face, she looked at these people in front of her expressionlessly.

Even if the group of Habayashi guards didn't say anything, she could still guess where they were taking her.

It must be that King Zhao is back, and King Dongyang wants to use her as a hostage to threaten King Zhao.

Hua Manman couldn't let him get what he wanted.

She clenched the handle of the knife tightly, and her murderous aura was beyond words.

What she didn't know was that in the eyes of everyone, she looked somewhat similar to King Zhao at this moment.

Hua Manman forced his way out of the encirclement.

She didn't run to the gate, but went straight to the backyard.

Soon she saw those apricot trees again.

Hua Manman used lightness skills to fly up to the apricot tree, jumped from the apricot tree to the top of the wall, and landed lightly on the ground.

The moment she landed, she suddenly felt a little pain in her abdomen.

She subconsciously paused.

When she raised her head again, she found that the group of Habayashi guards had already chased after her.

Hua Manman turned around and was about to run away, when she saw a guard from Habayashi dragging Hua Qingqing out.

"If you take another step, I'll kill your sister!"

The Habayashi guard put the blade on Hua Qingqing's neck.

Hua Qingqing was trembling with fear, and the Seventh Prince, who was held in her arms, sensed the danger and burst into tears.

Hua Manman had to stop.

Hua Qingqing held back her fear and said in a trembling voice.

"You go, don't worry about us."

The system shouted in his mind: "The host, you can't ignore them!"

The Habayashi guards took the opportunity to rush over and surrounded Hua Manman again.

With the lesson learned just now, they didn't dare to get close to Hua Manman easily this time. They all kept a step away from Hua Manman, and at the same time pointed the blades in their hands at Hua Manman, carefully guarding against her every move.

Hua Manman looked at Hua Qingqing not far away.

The blade was pressed against Hua Qingqing's neck tightly, and a thin bloodstain was drawn on her snow-white skin.

It only takes a little more force and her throat can be cut by the blade.

The Seventh Prince cried louder and louder.

Hua Manman let out a breath slowly, as if accepting her fate.

"I'll go with you, don't touch other people."

After she finished speaking, she let go of her fingers, and with a bang, the knife fell to the ground.

Hua Qingqing opened her eyes wide, staring blankly at the scene in front of her.

She looked at the second sister standing there straight.

It was very dark at night, but the figure of the second sister was very clear.

It was deeply imprinted in her eyes and engraved in her heart, which she will never forget in her life.

The second younger sister could escape, but in order to protect her and her child, she was forced to give up the easy-to-get escape opportunity.

There was no moment when Hua Qingqing felt her own incompetence and cowardice more deeply than now.

She hates herself for being like this!
