This time, more guards arrived, and the assassins saw that the situation was not good and retreated one after another, but there was no way to retreat.

The assassin who entered the palace to assassinate was already at the end of his strength. At this time, the guards quickly subdued all the other assassins. This thrilling assassination finally subsided, but the atmosphere in the palace became more tense.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Song Qingcheng quickly came to Pei Huaizhi's side through the crowd and checked his injuries. Pei Huaizhi looked pale, his breathing was weak, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. Her heart tightened, and she quickly took out a pill from her bosom and stuffed it into his mouth.

Pei Huaizhi was good at medicine. Perhaps because her soul-leaving syndrome had caused many complications, Pei Huaizhi gave her the pills she needed bit by bit.

The detoxification pills given to Princess Deyang before had functions ranging from detoxification to hemostasis, to qi replenishment, and even to concentrating the mind and prolonging life.

She even joked at the time that she had only heard of the Ten-fold Tonic Pill before, and had never heard of the various kinds of life-extending pills.

She had thought Pei Huaizhi was making a fuss before, but she didn't expect that he would be useful now.

"Pei Huaizhi, hold on! I will definitely save you!" Song Qingcheng said in a low voice.

What Song Qingcheng had just stuffed into Pei Huaizhi's mouth was a pill that could stop bleeding and calm the mind. It should be enough to keep him alive. Now Pei Huaizhi's face was gradually regaining some color.

"Stop the bleeding first!"

Song Qingcheng suppressed the panic in her heart and spoke calmly.

The assassin used all his brute force to hit Pei Huaizhi, causing him to vomit blood.

Wei Shao quickly pressed a few acupuncture points on Pei Huaizhi, temporarily stopping the bleeding. He helped Pei Huai up.

She turned her head to look at the chaotic scene, her eyes turned cold. This assassination was definitely not a simple one, there must be a dark hand behind it, and she might as well leave the palace now before the imperial doctor arrives.

"Pei Huaizhi, how are you?" Song Qingcheng asked anxiously.

Pei Huaizhi opened his eyes reluctantly and saw that it was Song Qingcheng. "Don't worry... I'm fine."

Having said that, his breathing became weaker and weaker, and then he fainted again.

He looks even worse than before.

Song Qingcheng's heart was in a knot again.

At the same time, the Emperor of Wei came back to his senses from the shock, and looking at the corpses all over the ground and the injured Pei Huaizhi, he felt a sense of fear in his heart.

"Come here, send Pei Aiqing to the Imperial Medical Bureau for treatment." The Emperor of Wei ordered.

"Yes." The guards heard the Emperor of Wei's order and stepped forward to move Pei Huaizhi.

"His Majesty!"

Song Qingcheng knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully, "Please let me take my husband back to the mansion for treatment!"

At this time, the Emperor of Wei was suffering from incontinence and he had lost face today. Although no one dared to gossip about him in front of him, it was indeed inappropriate.

Since Song Qingcheng was begging on her knees, he did not investigate further and simply agreed to send her away.

Song Qingcheng thanks you.

"Pei Aiqing has done a great service in saving me. Once Pei Aiqing is out of danger, I will definitely reward him handsomely!"

Song Qingcheng thanked the emperor again.

"These assassins, if alive, shall be thrown into prison, and if dead, shall be ground into dust and scattered into ashes, or torn into pieces by five horses, or skinned alive by lingchi!"

The Emperor of Wei said this through gritted teeth, his body unsteady due to his emotions.

The eunuch beside him straightened his head which had just tilted, and hurriedly supported His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health!"

"Go! Everyone, get out of here!"

Seeing that the Emperor of Wei was still extremely haggard, the eunuch sent everyone away on his behalf.

He regained his arrogant attitude, completely different from the embarrassed look he had just shown when he was running away with his head in his hands.

Everyone: "..."

Everyone wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible and did not care about being ordered around by the eunuch.

Emperor Wei agreed, but Song Qingcheng was worried. Now she didn't trust anyone except Wei Shao.

"Your Highness, please escort my husband out of the palace!"

"Ready to serve!"

Wei Shao nodded.

The Emperor of Wei waved his hand and left with the help of the palace servants.

As soon as the Emperor of Wei left, the people around him were still in shock and didn't want to stay in the Zhaixing Tower for a moment.

What a wonderful Lantern Festival, but now it has become like this.

Everyone is still frightened.

After much difficulty, he managed to escape the cruelty of the Emperor of Wei, but almost died at the hands of an assassin.

They even felt that the good fortune of the Wei Dynasty might be coming to an end.

*

Song Qingcheng didn't dare to delay any longer and asked Wei Shao to take Pei Huaizhi away quickly.

Because Pei Huaizhi had injured his bones, he couldn't use too much strength when moving, nor could he make large movements.

The speed of leaving the palace has slowed down significantly.

In the end, only Song Qingcheng and Wei Shao who was holding Pei Huaizhi were left among the people who came to attend the palace banquet.

When they reached the palace gate, the empress dowager's sedan chair followed behind.

"Third Prince! Madam Pei!"

The palace maid shouted behind him.

Hearing the sound, the two stopped.

When they turned around, the empress dowager's sedan chair had arrived in front of the two of them. The empress dowager walked out of the sedan chair, and the palace maids beside her hurried forward to support her.

"Master Pei?"

The Queen Mother hesitated to speak, as if she didn't know what to say.

"The injury is serious! Why isn't the imperial physician in the palace treating him?"

These words were obviously a bit... He also knew that he was ignoring the matter. After all, at this moment, the young minister's face was as white as paper, and it seemed that the little bit of blood color he had just recovered had completely disappeared.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I'm afraid Lord Pei's injury is not optimistic. I want to take him out of the palace for treatment," Song Qingcheng replied with her head down.

The Queen Mother looked at Pei Huaizhi, and a tense look flashed in her eyes. "Is the injury so serious?"

"How can doctors outside the palace compare to those in the palace? Why don't you follow me back to the Cining Palace!"

Song Qingcheng, "Empress Dowager, some time ago, my husband said that his master has returned to the capital. He must know more about my husband's physical condition than the imperial physician in the palace."

Song Qingcheng did not hear the nervousness in the Queen Mother's tone, but Wei Shao was a little confused.

What puzzled Wei Shao was that the Queen Mother was too concerned about the safety of a minister.

The Queen Mother and Pei Huaizhi had no previous interactions.

This is really abnormal!

"Yes, Queen Mother, thanks to Lord Pei's sacrifice, my brother is safe and sound." Princess Deyang explained on the side!!!

Some people try to hide their guilt even more!

"Well, then you guys go quickly." The Queen Mother sighed and waved her hand for them to leave.

At the palace gate, Shuqi saw that his master was fine when he went in, but was dying when he came out.

Surprised and worried.

Jumped off the carriage quickly

"Madam, what happened to my husband?"

"Do you know where Pei Huaizhi's master is now?"

Song Qingcheng asked.

Shuqi nodded.

Song Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Go and ask him to come out of retirement right now!"

Shuqi also knew that now was not the time to ask the reason, so he rode away immediately!

Song Qingcheng and Wei Shao took Pei Huaishang onto the carriage and galloped towards Pei Mansion.
