After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

As soon as she entered the room, Jiang Ruoli smelled a strong smell of oil.

Jiang Ruoli looked at the curtains and found that they were sticky with oil.

She hurried to the bed and reached out to feel the queen's breath.

Fortunately, the person is still alive.

"Your Majesty the Queen...Your Majesty the Queen..."

"My lady, wake up..."

Jiang Ruoli shouted softly and shook the queen's body hard, but she showed no sign of waking up.

It seems that the drug is too strong and the person won't wake up for a while.

Jiang Ruoli lifted the queen's body and wanted to carry her outside.

But an unconscious person would be weak and heavier, and she tried for a long time but failed to get the person on her back.

No, we can't delay like this any longer.

If the eunuch just now came back and found her, both she and the Queen would be doomed!

The most important thing now is to find reinforcements.

Although the Royal Guards patrolling outside are not here, there are people in other palaces, so we must make a big noise!

Jiang Ruoli put the queen back on the bed and sneaked out of the bedroom.

Going around the back of the hall and hiding in a corner, she saw the eunuch sprinkling something like water into the base of the wall.

The thing in the bucket should be oil!

Seeing that the other party was about to pour out all the oil in the bucket, Jiang Ruoli frowned tightly.

There is no time to delay, we have to go out and find someone now!

As long as she ran outside and shouted loudly, she didn't believe that no one would hear her!

She tried her best to control her inner panic, turned around and ran out of the hall.

She had only run a few steps when a hand suddenly stretched out from behind the pillar next to her and pulled her over tightly.

Jiang Ruoli was horrified and was about to scream when a hand covered her mouth.

She turned pale with fear and looked up at the strange man's face above her.

If you're not Big Brother, who are you?!

Lu Jinzhou lowered his head and saw the panic-stricken look on the woman in his arms. He paused slightly and pointed at his clothes with his other hand.

Jiang Ruoli followed his line of sight and saw that he was wearing the clothes of the Royal Guards, and she felt a little relieved.

"Don't worry, County Lady. I am Lu Jinzhou, the leader of the Imperial Guard. I'm entrusted by Lord Jiang to protect your safety." Lu Jinzhou whispered in Jiang Ruoli's ear.

Jiang Ruoli was now completely relieved.

She raised her finger and pointed at his hand covering her mouth, signaling him to let go.

Lu Jinzhou let go of his hand, but his other hand was still tightly holding Jiang Ruoli's arm.

"Chief Lu, an assassin has entered Kunhe Palace and is now at the back of the hall!" Jiang Ruoli said anxiously in a low voice.

Lu Jinzhou looked at Jiang Ruoli.

Just now, when he followed Jiang Ruoli into Kunhe Palace, he naturally discovered the abnormality of the entire hall.

But he was very curious about how Jiang Ruoli knew about Kunhe Palace?

Seeing the doubt in his eyes, Jiang Ruoli hurriedly explained:

"It's true, Chief Lu! I couldn't sleep tonight, so I wanted to ask the Queen to borrow some of the calming incense she made during the day. Who knew that when I pushed the door open, I saw palace maids lying on the ground. Only then did I realize that something had happened in Kunhe Palace!"

"Just now I saw the assassin carrying an oil barrel and spilling it. I guess he wants to burn down Kunhe Palace. Let's go and catch him, otherwise it will be too late!"

The leader of the Royal Guards must be very good at martial arts!

Jiang Ruoli thought.

But unexpectedly, Leader Lu didn't move at all.

"Why didn't the county lady call for help?" Lu Jinzhou asked.

Jiang Ruoli was really speechless.

"Wasn't I just about to shout?! And then you pulled me over!"

It’s already this late and you’re still asking questions here. If something really goes wrong, you’ll lose your head!

Jiang Ruoli rolled her eyes helplessly.

"Chief Lu, please feel free to ask if you have any questions. The most urgent task right now is to catch the assassin!" Jiang Ruoli was extremely anxious.

Lu Jinzhou's doubts were still in his mind, but he also saw Jiang Ruoli's anxiety, so he protected her behind him and pulled her quietly to the back of the hall.

As soon as the two men reached the back of the hall, they saw the eunuch take out a fire starter and was about to blow into it to light it.

"No!" Jiang Ruoli shouted in shock.

The eunuch was interrupted by the sudden voice and turned around.

Lu Jinzhou took a deep breath and was about to kick the other person.

"Whoosh-"

Suddenly, an arrow flew from behind and hit the eunuch's hand holding the fire lighter, and the fire lighter fell to the ground.

"what!"

The eunuch cried out in pain.

Then another arrow hit his thigh.

The eunuch fell to the ground, holding his legs and rolling on the ground, wailing in pain.

Jiang Ruoli and Lu Jinzhou looked back.

Then they saw Xiao Yujing standing behind them, and Jia Zuo was putting away the bow and arrow in his hand.

Jiang Ruoli was delighted.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing that she was safe and sound, Xiao Yujing breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry in his eyes did not dissipate.

Just as he was about to walk towards her, he noticed Lu Jinzhou holding Jiang Ruoli's arm.

Xiao Yujing's eyes turned cold.

Jiazuo shivered suddenly, feeling very cold.

Jiang Ruoli didn't notice the change in Xiao Yujing's mood. She broke free from Lu Jinzhou's hand and walked towards Xiao Yujing.

Maybe it was because she was too nervous just now, and when she suddenly relaxed, Jiang Ruoli felt her legs go weak instantly.

Seeing that she was about to fall, Xiao Yujing quickly took two steps and caught her in his arms.

Jiang Ruoli looked at Xiao Yujing with complete relief in her eyes.

Suddenly, she screamed.

"Your Highness, Queen!"

Xiao Yujing patted her back gently.

"Don't worry, I've asked the imperial physician to come and treat you."

"That's good......"

Jiang Ruoli finally felt relieved.

So, this crisis should be over...

Jiang Ruoli's legs went weak and she was still a little frightened.

She leaned softly on Xiao Yujing.

Feeling her dependence, Xiao Yujing's depression dissipated and he finally let go of the stone in his heart.

Lu Jinzhou had already stepped aside at this time.

"Your Highness." Lu Jinzhou said, "I will take this eunuch back first."

Xiao Yujing nodded, "Interrogate him carefully."

"Yes." Lu Jinzhou replied with a bow.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Xiao Yujing raised an eyebrow.

"Anything else?"

"Your Highness, I have something else I want to ask the county lady." Lu Jinzhou said.

Jiang Ruoli looked at Lu Jinzhou, "What's the matter?"

"Excuse me, how did the county lady know that there was an assassin committing a crime in Kunhe Palace tonight?" Lu Jinzhou asked coldly.

In his position, seek his position.

It’s no wonder he’s suspicious; Jiang Ruoli’s appearance tonight was just too much of a coincidence.

Jiang Ruoli was a little annoyed.

"Chief Lu, you are joking. I didn't know there would be assassins in Kunhe Palace tonight. I just couldn't sleep late at night and came to ask the Queen to borrow some calming incense. I just happened to meet her."

"I have just said this to Chief Lu."

[Ask, ask, ask. Just ask! You should thank me! ]

[If something really happens to the Queen tonight, the first person Xiao Yuheng will kill is you! ]
