When Shen Zaikuan saw Lu Siniang being captured, he became extremely anxious and no longer had the energy to fight with the soldiers. He flashed and pounced towards the emperor.

The guards around the emperor tried to stop him, but Shen Zaikuan was desperate at this time. He swung the sword in his hand tightly and forced back the guards who blocked his way one by one.

In a blink of an eye, Shen Zaikuan rushed to the emperor, stretched out his hand, grabbed Shen Meimei who was standing beside the emperor, and placed the sword on her neck.

"Ah...what are you doing? Let me go!" Shen Meimei was terrified, her legs went weak and she could hardly stand.

She was afraid of death, very afraid. She had not yet completed the task assigned to her by the system, and she wanted to return to modern society alive.

"Sorry for the offense!" Shen Zaikuan said to Shen Meimei in a low voice.

He knew that doing this would be very unfair to Shen Meimei, but at this point, this was the only option left.

"Your Majesty, if you release Si Niang, I will release the Imperial Concubine, or I will exchange my life for yours!"

Shen Zaikwan shouted loudly to the emperor.

At this moment, there was only Lu Siniang in his eyes. As long as he could rescue Lu Siniang, he would pay any price.

The emperor is the Son of Heaven, how can he be threatened by others? He said nothing, but blinked his eyes slightly, and countless arrows shot towards Shen Zaikuan.

Shen Meimei was in despair. At this critical moment of life and death, the emperor ignored the safety of herself and the baby in her belly and directly ordered an arrow to be shot.

Shen Zaikuan was indeed a martial arts master. He flew up and carried Shen Meimei to avoid the rain of arrows. At this time, the emperor drew his bow and shot an arrow, which hit Shen Zaikuan's right shoulder. The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a crash.

Zhen Heng stepped forward and put the knife on Shen Zaikuan's neck, "Don't move, or I'll kill you with this knife!"

Unexpectedly, Shen Zaikuan yelled at Lu Siniang, "Siniang, see you in the next life. Eighteen years later, you will be a brave man again!"

After saying that, he slashed his neck with the knife, blood splattered everywhere, and he fell down immediately.

Shen Meimei was already frightened at this time. The emperor picked her up and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here. Nothing will happen to you or the child!"

"But just now, if I hadn't dodged that rain of arrows, I would have been shot into a sieve!" Shen Meimei said, sobbing. She suddenly felt hatred for the man in front of her.

At the moment he was held hostage, there was no hesitation in the emperor's eyes. How could he be so sure that Shen Zaikuan could dodge the rain of arrows?

Shen Meimei was still frightened. She knew that the emperor was suspicious and even suspected that she had invited these assassins.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes in pain, not wanting to think about it. All she had to do was to save her life.

When Lu Siniang heard Shen Zaikuan's cry, she looked into the distance in despair and howled to the sky, "Why is God so unfair?"

After saying that, she broke free from the guards, rushed directly onto the knife, bleeding all over the ground, and died heroically.

"Your Majesty, all the assassins have been beheaded! But Shen Zaikuan and Lu Siniang committed suicide. Do you want to cut off their heads?" Xia Qian asked with a bow.

When Shen Meimei heard that people had to be beheaded after their deaths, she immediately vomited. Her face turned pale and she could not bear to listen to such cruel words any longer.

"Forget it, leave their bodies intact and find a proper place to bury them! Give the orders to continue moving forward and go to Fujian overnight!" The emperor supported Shen Meimei and gave the orders while looking at Xia Qian outside the curtain of the carriage.

"Mei'er, don't be afraid! The thieves are dead. How can I let them go if they dare to rob you and assassinate me?"
