"Wanwan!"

Before completely losing consciousness, Shen Wan was pulled into a familiar embrace.

With scarlet eyes, Qi Yan flipped his wrist and slashed out with a sharp sword energy. A cut was made in the chest of the attacking woman, her body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

The gauze hanging on her face was thrown away to reveal her appearance. Qi Muxue suffered heavy injuries, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out from her mouth.

"Luo Lan, Qi Yan, how about it? Isn't it painful to lose a loved one?" Lying on the ground weakly, Qi Muxue's lips curved into a sneer.

"Ever since what happened that day, I have no hope in life. Although I have no chance to kill you and my son to avenge my mother and concubine, it is still worthwhile to exchange my life for Shen Wan's life."

Qi Yan's sword just brought forth internal power, and Qi Muxue's internal organs were all shattered. After using her last strength to finish her words, she breathed her last and slowly closed her eyes.

With no time to pay attention to what the other party said, Qi Yan's eyes were scarlet and he swung his sword to fight off the attacking assassins.

With the secret guard leading the way, he left everyone present, picked up the little woman in his arms and left quickly.

The life and death of others has nothing to do with him. The country and the people are his responsibility, but she is his life.

If the price of keeping the world is losing her, then he would rather have nothing.

Looking at Qi Muxue who fell to the ground dead, the man in black could not help but feel a flash of sadness in his eyes.

Inadvertently, his arm was scratched by the guard attacking from behind.

The sudden pain made him suddenly come back to his senses, put away his thoughts, and killed the guard with his backhand.

Qi Yan left with the secret guards. The combat effectiveness here was obviously weakened, but in the previous fight, most of the assassins had been killed.

As Xie Chiyan called in reinforcements, the remaining assassins were eventually outnumbered and all were arrested.

Now that Qi Yan is gone, Qi Chen will naturally have full authority to handle the assassin's affairs.

If he dared to hurt his Aunt Nine Emperors, he would definitely make their lives worse than death without Uncle Nine Emperors telling her.

But when the guard pulled down the leader's veil and saw the appearance hidden behind the veil, Qi Chen couldn't help but be surprised.

"Uncle Four Emperors? Did you plan this assassination? Why did you do this? Did you want to rebel?"

"I don't care about the throne. I'm going to do my best today. I just want to kill that old witch and avenge my mother-in-law!"

With cold eyes, Qi Huan suddenly opened his eyelids and stared at Luo Lan.

Just now, her mind was on Shen Wan, and Luo Lan didn't pay much attention to Qi Muxue's words. Now when she heard Qi Huan say this, she suddenly remembered that before Qi Muxue died, she seemed to have said that she would kill her to avenge her mother and concubine.

Luo Lan frowned in confusion, then took the message and asked, "What does the death of your mother and concubine have to do with the Ai family?"

"Ha!" Qi Huan sneered, "Why, you still refuse to admit it until now?"

"At the beginning, my father claimed that my mother-in-law died of illness, but my mother-in-law was clearly poisoned. In order to protect you, my father gave me the title of king as compensation. Isn't it just to calm things down?"

"In these years in the harem, the Ai family only wanted peace. Concubine Yuan was also considered a person who abided by her duties. Although the Ai family did not have a deep friendship with her, there was no enmity or enmity.

There are many concubines in the harem, why would the Ai family attack an unfavored concubine?

Besides, if it was true that the Ai family poisoned your mother and concubine, how could they leave her two children alive? Could it be that you were left to grow up to seek revenge on the Ai family? "

It must be said that Luo Lan's words did make sense. Qi Huan was shaken in his heart, but he was quickly rejected.

"Impossible, it must be you. As you said, since you don't have a close relationship with my mother and concubine, why would you kindly go to visit and deliver medicine?

After my mother-in-law took your medicine, her health deteriorated rapidly. My father deliberately concealed it and secretly ordered people to throw away the residue of the medicine.

Fortunately, the prince and his father-in-law, who had served my mother and concubine personally for many years, informed me in time, and I bribed the eunuch, so I had the opportunity to investigate the dregs of medicine before they were destroyed!

After all, Mu Xue and I are our father's biological flesh and blood. When my mother and concubine pass away, and the storm is at its peak, you naturally don't dare to attack our brothers and sisters again.

Later, for the sake of safety, I indulged myself in alcohol and sex. If I hadn't behaved so dissolutely that you felt it wasn't worth the trouble for a waste like me, how could you have allowed me to live to this day! "

"As the master of the harem, the Ai family cannot ignore a concubine who is sick, but the Ai family knows the rules of the harem.

Not only Yuan Fei, but also any concubine, if something happened, the Ai family would just come to visit and never bring food or medicine.

Your mother-in-law's medicine was not sent by the Ai family at all. What exactly happened, the Ai family will let people investigate and give you an explanation, but you are committing an unforgivable crime. "

"Take him down." Luo Lan's eyes turned cold, and he turned to the guard and ordered:

"Go and find out where the princes and lords who served Concubine Yuan are now. All the servants who served Concubine Yuan in the palace are still alive. Find them all and interrogate them one by one."

This night was quite uneventful. The Regent's Palace was in chaos because of Shen Wan's injury.

When Qi Chen returned to Weiyang Hall after dealing with the assassin's affairs, he found that all the guards outside had been knocked down, and he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
