The imperial concubine bows down to me

Xue Jiang's reinforcements are getting more and more, and there are seven or eight hundred people left in the East Palace.But now everyone on Shen Zhi's side began to struggle a little due to too much physical exertion, and two men in black had already been stabbed and fell down.

In order to make sure that Shen Zhi had no accidents, Du Qinning kept by her side.After an unknown amount of time, Du Qinning took advantage of the opportunity of jumping up to avoid the attack, and looked in the direction of the entrance of the East Palace, wanting to see if there was any imperial guards over there for support.

But what she saw now was beyond Du Qinning's expectation, and her eyes suddenly brightened.She pointed to Shen Zhi with the tip of her sword instead of her finger, and said in a rare excited tone, "Your Highness, look over there!"

Hearing this, Shen Zhi also stepped on the tip of the halberd stabbed by three or five people at the same time, climbed over the shoulder of the nearest person, and looked in the direction Du Qinning pointed.Sure enough, when she looked at it like this, hope was rekindled in her anxious heart.

It was a group of people dressed in coarse cloth that looked like ordinary people, but the person leading the team with a long knife was Wei Feng who Shen Zhi knew very well, so their origins must not be as simple as ordinary people.

Henceforth, Shen Zhi, Du Qinning and the remaining ten men in black were in the front, and a large group of troops led by Wei Feng was in the back. stand up.

The number of people on the other side gradually decreased, and they didn't have the energy to attack Shen Zhi in groups anymore, and Shen Zhi also had a lot of time to look for Liu Shuyan's figure.

Just now, since Liu Shuyan and Xue Jiang both disappeared into the crowd, Shen Zhi has never seen them again, and he doesn't know what is going on with them now.Although according to common sense, Xue Jiang should lose to Liu Shuyan, but Shen Zhi is still very worried about Liu Shuyan, for fear of any unexpected accidents.

Shen Zhi looked around, stepped on the shoulders of the imperial guards, and still did not see the shadows of Liu Shuyan and Xue Jiang, and Xue Ruoyu and the soldier who took her away just now did not know where they were hiding. .Sighing slightly, she jumped down again, slapped the imperial guard away, and then rushed to the side of Du Qinning who was still fighting bloody, and said to her: "Qinning, go see how the imperial concubine is doing. That's it."

"Okay." Du Qinning responded, and with a sweep, several guards around him took a few steps back, and then they fought a bloody path with Shen Zhi, and searched deeper.

After about half an hour, the two finally found Liu Shuyan and Xue Jiang among the chaotic crowd.But as soon as Shen Zhi saw them, they beat and went elsewhere.

Seeing this, she and Du Qinning hurriedly followed, overcoming all obstacles.

After Liu Shuyan and Xue Jiang crossed half of the East Palace, they finally stopped in a wide open space with no one there.

"Xue Jiang, why are you bothering?" The two swords faced each other, looking at Xue Jiang who was covered in blood and unable to fight, Liu Shuyan not only felt sorry for this talented man's impulsiveness.

Even though, this was originally under her plan.

At this time, Xue Jiang knew very well that he couldn't beat Liu Shuyan, and he was going to die anyway, so he simply made up his mind and prepared to use the plan he prepared for himself during the day, which can only be used when there is no way to retreat.He ignored Liu Shuyan's words at all, gritted his teeth and grinned, taking advantage of Liu Shuyan's defense was a little relaxed, turned around and ran back with the last of his strength.

But as soon as he ran two steps, he saw Shen Zhi and Du Qinning also rushing towards this side.He looked back and saw Liu Shuyan walking towards him with a sword in his hand.

The three of them flanked each other, and he had no helpers. If he fought recklessly, Xue Jiang would definitely lose.

He laughed wildly at Shen Zhi twice, but his face suddenly became gloomy, he gritted his teeth and said, "I never thought that there are so many people helping her for such a worthless prince."

As he said that, he turned around to look at Liu Shuyan again, and asked, "My concubine, tell me, what is King Jin not better than her? A lustful person, if she ascends to the throne, with her current appearance, What can she do for the people of the world, and how can she stand up to your all-out support? You, your brother, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhi's heart trembled.Could it be that Xue Jiang rebelled today just because he felt that he was incompetent and unworthy of the crown prince, and because he misunderstood that she had evil intentions towards Xue Ruoyu?

While Xue Jiang was speaking, Liu Shuyan didn't walk towards him directly, but bypassed him from the side, and stood with Shen Zhi who had just arrived.She handed the sword to her right hand, turned sideways and gently wiped the blood splattered on Shen Zhi's face with her hand, smiled at her comfortingly, and then replied, "Jin Wang Shen Tai, it is indeed a rare talent." , but since he conspired to usurp the throne, he has already lost to His Highness. Moreover, Your Highness is not the lustful person you said, and you also said that she is incapable of controlling the political situation, just for now. Wait until later , she won't, she can be a benevolent king, I believe her."

Although these words were spoken to Xue Jiang, Liu Shuyan kept looking at Shen Zhi's eyes that were brighter in this dark night while speaking.In the end, she even touched Shen Zhi's head, tilted her head slightly, and asked, "Your Highness, what do you think the concubine said?"

No one knows what will happen in the future, but Liu Shuyan's words inexplicably gave Shen Zhi a wave of confidence.It seemed that in the near future, she could really be a good prince supported by the courtiers and loved by the people.

"Gu... will definitely try my best." Although Shen Zhi really wanted to say "yes" to Liu Shuyan, she didn't have full confidence in herself. She was afraid that if she agreed now, she would disappoint Liu Shuyan in the future.

"Who knows what will happen in the future, I won't be able to see it anyway." As she said that, Xue Jiang turned the tip of the sword downwards and embedded it into the ground under her feet with force, which also attracted Liu Shuyan's attention, "I admit it I lost, and I am willing to let you deal with it. It’s just that you and I are our own masters and have nothing to do with others. I want to beg you, let my sister go, she is innocent. If possible, find a good family for her, and try my best to let her She...forget about me."

The sudden change of Xue Jiang's attitude made Shen Zhi feel a little unbelievable, and even felt that he might be playing some kind of trick.But when Xue Jiang asked them to let Xue Ruoyu go, Shen Zhi immediately understood.

Shen Zhi nodded: "Miss Xue is also predestined with us, Gu also knows that she doesn't know about you serving Brother Jin. Don't worry, Gu will not hurt her."

Seeing that Shen Zhi answered, Xue Jiang let out a breath, closed her eyes and nodded.Shen Zhi thought that he had given up struggling, and she was about to ask Liu Shuyan how to deal with him, but the next moment, Xue Jiang stretched her hand back, and suddenly threw something out of her hand that she didn't know what it was, and went straight to Shen Zhi left.

Liu Shuyan is not as easy to trust as Shen Zhi, so even after Xue Jiang said what she said just now, after her eyes returned from Shen Zhi to Xue Jiang, she never left him for a moment.When she saw Xue Jiang reaching back with one hand, she had already guessed what he wanted to do next.

Seeing this, she hurriedly took two steps forward, blocking Shen Zhi's body, focusing on the movements of Xue Jiang's hands, and estimating the timing of the move.

And Shen Zhi also noticed this after Xue Jiang made a move.But she found out a little later than Liu Shuyan, and it was only a matter of time before Liu Shuyan stood in front of her. After that, she couldn't see the movements of Xue Jiang's hands.In desperation, she didn't think so much, and subconsciously thought that Liu Shuyan wanted to catch or block that hidden weapon for her.

But she thought that although Liu Shuyan's martial arts were high, but the incident happened urgently, and it was so dark, how easy would it be for Liu Shuyan to catch such a fast hidden weapon in the dark?

In order to prevent Liu Shuyan from being fatally injured by mistake, and in order not to cause trouble to Liu Shuyan, Shen Zhi just thought for a while, relying on the judgment of Xue Jiang's shooting direction just now, stretched out his arms from Liu Shuyan's back and encircled her forward, She covered the front of her heart with her hands.

It was too late to say it and then it was too fast, Shen Zhi did this out of protection for Liu Shuyan, but it was her swift movements that made Liu Shuyan lose his mind at this most important moment.

By a hair's breadth, the poison dart passed between Liu Shuyan's two fingers, and inserted straight into Shen Zhi's upper forearm.

"Hmm..." Shen Zhi snorted. Although she was in pain, she breathed a sigh of relief, resisting the tingling pain on her little arm and biting her teeth slightly, "It's okay..." Because of the poison The place where the dart pierced, a little further in, happened to be where Liu Shuyan's heart was.

Both Liu Shuyan and Du Qinning were taken aback by what happened just now, and they didn't call out in unison until they heard Shen Zhi's words: "Your Highness!"

Seeing this scene, Du Qinning knew that Liu Shuyan could take good care of Shen Zhi. After a short pause, his eyes turned hard, and he stepped forward to fight with Xue Jiang, who was laughing wildly when the trick was successful.

In fact, Xue Jiang didn't resist too much, and there was no need to resist.So without three moves, Du Qinning had already put the sword on Xue Jiang's neck and subdued him.

And Liu Shuyan turned around at the same time, but hugged Shen Zhi tightly in his arms, then carefully raised her left arm to take a closer look at the wound.What Xue Jiang threw was an octagonal dart. This dart is extremely small and thin, only about an inch in length and width, and the tallest part is only about a centimeter in length.

However, although the octagonal dart is small, it is stained with a slightly sticky black poison, and its toxicity cannot be underestimated.Shen Zhi was actually only a few short breaths from being shot to the present, but within such a short period of time, her wound had already started to turn black, and the blackened border was still spreading.

"This hidden weapon is poisonous, why are you so stupid..."

As time passed, Shen Zhi's wound became more and more unbearable.She was still humming uncontrollably from time to time, but when she heard Liu Shuyan's words that seemed to be resentment but not resentment, she was afraid that she would be worried, so Shen Zhi actually smiled at her, her two petals were slightly open and had begun to turn white. With thin lips, she comforted: "Concubine, I have a little injury, I'm fine... um..." She frowned, as if she was annoyed by her unsatisfactory groan.

"You shameless and despicable villain!" Du Qinning, who heard the conversation between the two, knew that Shen Zhi had been poisoned. She quickly retracted the sword placed next to Xue Jiang, and instead pinched Xue Jiang's neck with her hands, for fear that Shen Zhi was poisoned. On an impulse, he killed himself with a sword.

It was not until Xue Jiang's face was flushed that Du Qinning let go of his hand a little bit, but the look of hatred on his face did not relax at all.She asked sharply, "Where's the antidote?!"

Because of Du Qinning's exertion just now, Xue Jiang coughed several times in a row, almost coughing up her lungs.But when he calmed down a little bit, he snorted at Du Qinning again, and his face was full of complacent smiles, as if he was playing: "This medicine is extremely poisonous. Once poisoned, it will take less than half an hour. Those who are poisoned will bleed to death. I spent so much effort to get the poison and poison dart, and finally stabbed her, do you think I would be so stupid, tell you the antidote?"
