When the time comes, do you know to ask him for help?

In the court these days, haven't they all been making eloquent speeches and quoting from classics?

Only when something goes wrong do you realize your own worth.

Xie Shu brushed his sleeves unhappily and put his hands behind his back: "Didn't you hear clearly just now? This is an imperial decree. Do you still want to disobey it?"

After that, he turned and left.

However, his destination was naturally not the Wende Hall, but the Fengyang Palace.

The whole family of Situ Mansion is outside, and he is a person who values ​​family ties, so he is not without worries.

However, is worrying useful?

He never dwells on things that cannot be done, and only seeks to maximize benefits based on the current situation.

You can say he is heartless or cold-hearted, that's just the kind of person he is.

interests come first.

At the side door of the palace, Chun Ning bit his fingers and paced back and forth, glancing at the door from time to time.

In just a quarter of an hour, all the main doors, side doors and other access gates of the palace had to be locked.

Although the imperial edict was issued in the name of the emperor, it was actually an order from the empress dowager.

The emperor was filial, and he knew his own abilities. With Xie Shu around, he had long since developed the habit of not making decisions.

We finally came up with a plan today, but before the order was executed, the enemy broke through the city gate.

He was more than happy to have his mother take charge of the situation.

Chun Ning was waiting here. After she heard the news, she immediately sent people to the Su Mansion and the Hanlin Academy to pick people up.

This was something she and Su Ziyu had discussed long ago: if the city really were to be breached, all the women and children of the Su family would be brought into the palace.

Everyone in the Su family is loyal and willing to live and die with the royal family.

As time passed, Chun Ning became more and more anxious.

"Master, there's still a cup of tea left. We will definitely make it in time." Lanxiang comforted her.

Chun Ning knew this truth, but he didn’t know what the situation was outside.

The rebels have entered the city, and the situation is chaotic. I am afraid of encountering any accidents.

As they were talking, they saw three carriages hurriedly approaching the door, all of which had the logo of Princess Chunning's Mansion.

Chun Ning was delighted and stepped forward quickly.

Lan Qiao was guarding the door. As long as the people on the carriage were checked, they would be allowed to pass immediately and then the palace gate would be closed.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

Lanxiang's expression suddenly changed. She stepped forward, grabbed Chunning's sleeve and pulled her behind her.

Immediately afterwards, a great force came.

Chun Ning heard a muffled sound as something penetrated Lan Xiang's body, and the full force threw both of them to the ground.

In an emergency, Chun Ning shouted: "Close the palace gate! Close it quickly!"

No matter who the visitor is, the only thing that can be confirmed is that the other party is full of malicious intent.

She had no time to think about who was in the three carriages and what had happened to the Su family.

As Princess Dajing, she couldn't let the palace fall.

His back hit the ground with a bang. Chun Ning ignored the severe pain and had to push Lanxiang away. He rolled on the ground and held the crossbow that he had placed aside in his arms.

There was a crossbow with a loaded arrow on the crossbow. She lay on the ground and aimed at the palace gate.

I saw a carriage galloping towards me and two vermilion palace doors slowly closing.

There was a man standing on the roof of the front carriage, holding a bow and arrow in his right hand, aiming at the next person.

Through the fluttering curtains of the carriage, Chun Ning saw Madam Su’s pale face.

Chun Ning didn't bother to check Lanxiang's injuries. He raised his upper body with all his strength and aimed the crossbow at the person holding the bow and arrow in the carriage.

"Take——"

The sound of breaking through the air was not sharp, and was even a little dull due to the weight of the crossbow arrow.

This moment seemed to be extended infinitely.

It was not until he saw the man look down at the crossbow arrow in his chest in disbelief and fall onto the roof of the car that Chun Ning came back to life.

The next moment, Su Ziyu jumped out of the second carriage, holding the frightened Su Qing in his arms.

Both of them looked very embarrassed, but fortunately they seemed to be safe.

Su Ziyu staggered a few times, then slashed the horse's reins with a sword.

The horses were frightened and neighed, and the carriages separated.

The next moment, a man with a dagger stuck in his leg jumped out of the carriage and limped after the two men.

"Second uncle, put me down!"

Su Qing broke free from Su Ziyu and got to the ground. He threw something with his backhand and it just hit the man in the face. A cloud of white smoke exploded and choked him so much that he coughed repeatedly and couldn't open his eyes.

The carriage of the second carriage lost control and collided with the third one, making a dull sound mixed with the neighing of horses.

The noose that closes the palace gate is turning slowly, and once it starts, it cannot stop.

If you want to open it again, you must let the door close completely before you can reopen it.

The doorway in front of the palace gate was very deep, and it was almost impossible for Su Ziyu and Su Qing to run in on foot.

At this moment, Madam Su climbed out of the carriage of the first carriage, and together with her maid, pulled the reins of the carriage hard, screamed, and finally pulled the reins.

The two of them ran quickly, Su Ziyu picked up Su Qing and threw her onto the shaft of the carriage. Madam Su hurriedly grabbed her hand and pulled her into the carriage.

Then, Su Ziyu used the last of his strength to climb onto the horse, grasped the reins and clamped the horse's belly, and rushed towards the increasingly smaller gap in the palace gate in front of him.

Chun Ning watched all this, with his right hand on his chest, almost unable to breathe.

She couldn't help and could only pray in her heart.

Finally, the horse neighed and rushed into the palace gate, the carriage narrowly crossed the line, and the palace gate closed at the back with a "bang".

Chun Ning collapsed on the ground, crying with joy.

It was not until this moment that she had time to check on Lanxiang's injuries.

Lanxiang's face was pale, a feather arrow was stuck in her chest, and blood kept flowing out.

She was similar in height to Chun Ning, and the man was aiming at Chun Ning's heart.

Lanxiang threw herself to block the arrow, but she was still hit in the chest.

Chun Ning rushed over, so frightened that she didn't know what to do, and tears flowed out.

So much blood was rushing out, and she had no experience, so she didn't dare to touch it at all, for fear of hurting Lan Qiao more seriously.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Lanxiang reluctantly called out to her: "Don't be sad..."

"Stop talking!"

Chun Ning wiped away her tears and held her hand: "Soon, the doctor will be here soon, just hold on."

Lan Qiao helped Madam Su get off the carriage, and Su Ziyu and Su Qing followed closely behind.

Why are there only three of them?

Chun Ning's eyes were blurred with tears, and she was wondering: Could there be other members of the Su family in the next carriage?

She was startled and looked towards the palace gate.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise.

It was like a sudden thunderclap that exploded right at the palace gate, shaking the earth.

Lanxiang lay on the ground, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

Mrs. Su walked away in fear, holding her hands over her chest, gasping for breath, with lingering fear.

I didn't feel it when I was nervous, but now that I'm safe, I feel scared when I think about the series of things that happened in such a short time.
