The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

The assassins broke into the room. Seeing this, Xiao Xia Zi and Song Zhi hurriedly stood in front of Nian Shilan.

At this time, there were only five people left in the small group of death warriors. They all had knife wounds of varying degrees and looked a little embarrassed.

One of the assassins looked at Nian Shilan and said respectfully, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, I would like to ask you to accompany me."

Xiao Xiazi and Songzhi stood in front of Nian Shilan. Songzhi said to the assassin in a flattering tone: "My queen is pregnant now and is not feeling well. I wonder if you can make an exception and let my queen rest for a while."

Songzhi had a good idea. Nian Shilan had just sent the secret guard out of the palace to the Nian Mansion to inquire about the news from the border. Songzhi thought of delaying for a while and waiting for Nian Xi to come back, maybe she could save her queen's life.

At this time, other servants of Yikun Palace, even Zhou Ninghai, were supported by others and walked out. Seeing a group of assassins breaking into Yikun Palace, they all wanted to protect Nian Shilan.

At this time, the assassin who had just spoken spoke again: "My Lady Imperial Concubine, I don't want to hurt innocent people. If you are unwilling to follow me, I don't mind killing people again in Yikun Palace and let the blood flow like a river."

Hearing the words of the assassin, the servants of Yikun Palace all changed their faces, wanting to use their lives to exchange for a chance for Nian Shilan to escape. Nian Shilan calmed down at this time and naturally saw the thoughts of the servants of Yikun Palace. Nian Shilan knew that this was tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg, so she pretended to be calm and said, "No need. After you entered Yikun Palace, you didn't kill people indiscriminately, and I don't think you will easily take my life. I will go with you. I just want to see who is so bold as to dare to break into the palace!"

Songzhi was very anxious when she heard what Nian Shilan said. She lost control of her composure for a moment and pinched Nian Shilan's arm tightly, saying anxiously, "My queen, no!"

Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi and said in a gentle tone, as if she didn't care about life or death: "Don't worry, I am the imperial concubine appointed by the emperor himself. You must believe that the emperor will protect me."

After Nian Shilan finished speaking, he took a step forward and walked towards the death warriors, with his body straight and steps dignified. Even though he was uneasy in his heart, he did not show any timidity on the outside, showing the demeanor of a family of military generals to the fullest.

Seeing this, Songzhi quickly caught up with Nian Shilan and said firmly, "I will follow you, Madam."

Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi, her eyes full of emotion, but her tone did not allow for rejection. She said, "You don't have to. Follow the servants of Yikun Palace to guard Yikun Palace. I will definitely come back safely."

Songzhi did not compromise this time. She said with a fearless look on her face: "Your Majesty, I have served you since I was a child. Please forgive me for not obeying your order this time. If you want to punish me, you can beat me or scold me after you are safe."

The assassins looked at the master-servant relationship between Nian Shilan and Song Zhi without a trace of emotion on their faces. The order from above was to bring Nian Shilan to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. It didn't matter if there was one more or one less person, as long as Nian Shilan went.

The assassins did not give Nian Shilan and Songzhi time to talk. They drew their knives and put them on Nian Shilan's neck, saying in a cold tone, "Madam, please go ahead."

When the cold sword touched Nian Shilan's neck, she felt as if all the blood in her body had solidified. Because she did not control the strength well, the sword pierced Nian Shilan's skin, and blood flowed down her smooth neck. At this time, Nian Shilan's heartbeat was like thunder in her ears, which made her almost unable to think.

Nian Shilan clenched her fingers tightly in her sleeves. The pain in her palms made her regain a little rationality, but the fear in her heart was still surging like a tide.

She suppressed her inner panic, and swept her cold eyes over the assassins in front of her. Her voice was filled with undisguised anger and majesty. Then she leaned her neck towards the sword again. The blood on her neck became more and more, and it stained Nian Shilan's palace dress, as if a charming flower had bloomed. "How dare you! Since I have agreed to go with you, I have given you enough face. But you are so ignorant and want to threaten me in this way! Do you think you can make me surrender in this way? It's just a foolish dream! If I commit suicide at this moment, not only will you fail to complete the mission, but you will also be charged with the crime of regicide. How will you explain to your superiors then? Aren't you afraid of severe punishment?"

Nian Shilan's words were as cold as the wind, and her actions just now made the hearts of the warriors present tremble. They originally thought that Nian Shilan was just a weak woman who would obey with a little pressure. However, at this moment, they realized that this imperial concubine was much stronger and braver than they imagined. Facing the threat of death, she was not afraid at all, but defended her dignity with a firm attitude, worthy of being a woman from a military family.

The assassins all turned their eyes to their leader. After a brief thought, the leader nodded and said, "In this case, I will trust the Imperial Concubine this time. If the Imperial Concubine has other ideas, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After hearing what their leader said, the assassins all retracted their swords. Two of them led the way in front, Nian Shilan and Song Zhi walked in the middle, and the remaining three assassins guarded Nian Shilan from behind.

Nian Shilan walked out of the Yiku Palace and after walking for a while, she realized that they seemed to be taking her to the Yangxin Palace. Nian Shilan began to force herself to calm down, wondering who had planned this palace coup.

On the other side, after one group of death warriors walked towards the Yikun Palace, the Black Armored Army and the remaining death warriors rushed straight towards the Yangxin Palace.

When they arrived outside the Yangxin Palace, they saw several guards standing at the entrance of the Yangxin Palace from a distance. They held spears in their hands, looked solemn, and watched the surroundings vigilantly. However, the black-armored soldiers were not afraid at all. They rushed forward like a black torrent.

Instantly, shouts of killing rang out, swords clashed, sparks flew, and the two sides launched a fierce fight. The black-armored soldiers were agile and brave, while the guards fought desperately to protect the safety of the Yangxin Palace.

At this time, the Queen Mother and Longkodo also rushed to the Yangxin Palace. When they saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but feel an indescribable joy in their hearts. The guards at the gate fell one after another in a pool of blood, and the blood dyed the ground red, which was shocking.

A smug smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face, and she thought to herself: "These guards are ultimately unable to withstand the attack of the Black Armored Army." Longkodo secretly thanked God that he had chosen the right side. He knew that with the fall of the guards, the balance of power would tilt towards them.

The battle continued, the black-armored army gradually gained the upper hand, and the guards were defeated. The atmosphere outside the Yangxin Palace was extremely tense, as if a storm was about to come.
