The towering palace gate slowly closed behind her, and Yu Linglong’s carriage drove unhurriedly along the long palace road, crushi+ng countless petals scattered on the ground

The spring was just right now, but Yu Linglong was not in thescenery outside She sat in the carriage, thinking about the current situation

Lord Xu hadn’t returned to the house for several days, but he sent people to deliver letters to her every day to tell her the latest trends of the prince As soon as she and Lord Xu began to plan to push the prince against the prince, Lord Xu arranged the uard to monitor the prince’s actions for twelve hours They knew that if people like the prince planned to rebel, they would definitely be fully prepared, and there were still many officials who supported the prince in the court It was possible that many people would support the prince’s actions

From the imh preparations However, the prince’s poas deeply rooted Although the empress was temporarily out of power, there was still Gan Taifu outside If they acted carelessly, they ive the Prince a chance to co lifted the carriage curtain, looked at the endless flowers and trees beside the palace road, and her face gradually beca and was about to be shot Now theythe opportunity

Yu Linglong was thinking about it, and suddenly she saw a carriage co the direction of the carriage, it was obvious that it was cohtly This was the palace road Even an assassin sent by the prince would not choose to do so about this, she was relieved and told the coache drove to her and stopped Then, Yu Linglong saw a fae and walked towards her quickly

“Princess, I finally found you…”

shi+ Huiru’s complexion was crimson, and she was short of breath She only wore an ordinary blue bamboo brocade dress on her body She had a casual bun on her head, and it was apparent that she had rushed out the door

Yu Linglong nodded, stretched her hand, and got into the carriage

Seeing shi+ Huiru in such a hurry, it was obvious that so had happened

The e started slowly

Looking at shi+ Huiru, as both rushed and anxious, Yu Linglong asked calmly, “What’s theand anxious, but when she saw her, she didn’t seem to dare to speak directly She just lowered his head and said, “I just went to the Xu Palace to look for you The person said that you are in the palace, so I rushed out to see you I also know that this is too abrupt, but I… I really have no other way now…”

shi+ Huiru had never hesitated like this before She see her euessed a bit, and then slowed down and said, “Don’t worry, just tell me If I can help, I naturally won’t stand idly by”

shi+ Huiru took a deep breath She suddenly reached out and squeezed Yu Linglong’s hands, and said in a low voice: “Princess, please help me, please help him!”

It was so warm outside, but her hands were cold, and her palrasp Yu Linglong’s hands because they were so slippery, “Princess, I know in this situation I should not beg you, I know you are also having difficulties, but besides you, I really don’t knoho else can helptook out a kerchief and wiped the teardrops froentle tone: “Don’t worry, speak slowly”

shi+ Huiru settled down and said, “It’s… it’s Brother Yang… I don’t knohen the neas released It says that Brother Yang belongs to His Royal Highness, and Brother Yang is also part of the rebellion, so they arrested hi to ask, they realized that Brother Yang was not in Magistrate Jing’s prison It took the Yang family a lot of work to find out that… it was the people of Lord Xu who took Brother Yang away to a very secret place The Yang family was in a hurry, and they wanted to find Lord Xu but couldn’t find hiood relationshi+p with you, so she ca’s calm face, shi+ Huiru hurriedly said: “No, no, no, not for you to release hi said that she just wanted to ask for help She just wants to know Brother Yang’s situation”

Yu Linglong asked faintly: “Are they sure that the prince sent so?”

shi+ Huiru took out a small piece of jade froht by Brother Yang He carried this piece of jade with him I…I will never admit it”

shi+ Huiru’s head was too low, and her voice was as thin as a lanced at the piece of jade and said, “Since you are sure that you are right, then I will ask the prince, and I will let you know if there is any news”

shi+ Huiru raised her head in surprise, her round face filled with excitement: “Really? Then…thank you soelse to say After hesitating for a while, she said, “There’s onefahness before Perhaps because of the fact that he was close with His Royal Highness, it aroused suspicion fro was also ioing to raise troops The Yang faretted it and wanted you to intercede with Lord Xu and talk to His Royal Highness and set a boundary”

Yu Linglong frowned slightly and said, “Changting Hou can tell the emperor himself about this matter I believe the e’s reluctance to intervene, shi+ Huiru hurriedly said: “Princess, the Yang fa said that they have evidence of the prince’s plotting a rebellion and can be handed over to Lord Xu “

Yu Linglong’s heart moved and she said, “What evidence is it?”

shi+ Huiru shook her head and said, “I asked Yunzheng, but she refused to tell me, only that she wanted to tell you in person She is noaiting for you in ht for a ether”

If there was evidence of the prince’s rebellion, then the situation would becoan of the prince’s so-called purgatory side would be self-defeating

Seeing Yu Linglong’s pro Yu Linglong’s hand gratefully: “It’s great that you are willing to go!”

Yu Linglong ordered the coache his path, and then looked back and smiled at shi+ Huiru, and said, “Quickly wipe your face, I don’t want to see you cry”

shi+ Huiru smiled embarrassedly, quickly drew out a kerchief, and carefully wiped the tears off her face

The shi+ family’s other courtyard was in a remote location, and it was more than half an hour before they finally arrived

shi+ Huiru got out of the carriage first, and went to open the gate in person to see if there was no one around before taking Yu Linglong into the yard

She said: “You will see Yunzheng in a while, but you have to comfort her You don’t know, she was terrified She was told not to be discovered by others I sent all the people out, so don’t worry, no one here will know”

As soon as she walked into this quiet yard, Yu Linglong felt that so shi+ Huiru said that her servants had been driven out by her, but she always felt that there see at her

Opening the door of the rooetically, and said, “No one has lived here for a long ti, it always feels chilly Princess, please go in”

Yu Linglong walked into the roo in the room The room was empty, and only a few tables and chairs covered hite cloth were on the ground

Seeing her suspicious eyes, shi+ Huiru walked towards the all and said: “This h I sent all the people away, I still worried, so I hid Yunzheng in the secret roo stepped forward, and saw shi+ Huiru lift up a landscape painting on the wall, revealing the turntable inside She twisted it two turns to the left and three turns to the right A strip of black paint suddenly cracked on the original sap

shi+ Huiru stretched out her hand to Yu Linglong and said, “Co felt a little uneasy She frowned and said, “Tell her to come out”

From the moment she entered the shi+ fa, but she couldn’t tell what it was The first thing she felt was that she couldn’t get in easily

This keen sense of danger had saved her many times This ti that she refused to coht she was afraid of the dark, so she didn’t force it, and said, “Okay Stay here and wait for , shi+ Huiru entered the wall, Yu Linglong could hear her dull footsteps, and they spread along the gap, drifting away

As if it was only seven or eight steps away, shi+ Huiru’s surprised cry suddenly ca with you!?”

Despite the thick wall, shi+ Huiru’s voice still sounded sharp and frightened: “Yunzheng, Yunzheng!”

Yu Linglong was sensitively aware of an accident She rushed into the wall and said in a deep voice, “Huiru, come out, hurry up!”

shi+ Huiru’s voice cried a bit, and she said, “Yunzheng fell on the ground, as if she was injured… or poisoned… I, I can’t pull her…”

Yu Linglong quickly scanned the circle of empty rooms Obviously, it was not suitable to stay here With shi+ Huiru’s character, she would not leave Yang Yunzheng alone in the dark roo was a little helpless and had to walk quickly into the secret rooht in the dark rooht shi+round One was shi+ Huiru, desperately pulling a soft figure, trying towas about to step up to help, she heard a clatter, and the gap behind her quickly closed, and the secret rooe obviously surprised shi+ Huiru There was aYunzheng on the ground and stu

“This…what’s going on? Why is the door closed!?”

Yu Linglong came over in surprise, and immediately recovered her senses She took two steps back and touched the wall that should have been the one that was cracked, only to find that there was a tight fit and there was no crack at all They couldn’t get out

It see outside, and when he saw Yu Linglong entering the dark room, he immediately activated the mechanism and closed the secret room

shi+ Huiru’s voice in the dark was full of horror: “Where are you… where are you?”

Yu Linglong stretched her hand in the direction of the sound, furabbed shi+ Huiru’s arm, and said in a low voice, “I’ a life-saving straw, shi+ Huiru grabbed Yu Linglong’s hand and said while tre shook her head, and then remembered that shi+ Huiru couldn’t see her moveiven her, and took out asituation clearly

In the light of the ju fire, shi+ Huiru’s face was full of fear Even the light did not relieve her tension in the slightest

“What’s wrong? Why did the door close? What do we do now…”

Yu Linglong patted her hand and said, “Don’t be afraid Think about it, there should be a , she walked to Yang Yunzheng’s side, leaned over and turned her face

shi+ Huiru said nervously: “I just touched her face and hands are cold, she… is she dead?”

Yu Linglong paused for a ht

As she expected, this secret roo the dust fro stood up and said, “Yes, she is indeed dead”

shi+ Huiru screaround

Although her courage was not sth to butcher a chicken Now it suddenly changed, and she was staying in an airtight dark room with a dead body At this moment, if she didn’t pass out, it was considered bold

Yu Linglong looked at shi+ Huiru and said cal”

shi+ Huiru was shocked and looked at the corpse on the ground subconsciously: “This… how is this possible?”

There was no candle in the dark rooest She thought that the wo at her, she found that the corpse was just a strange wo clothes

shi+ Huiru was not a fool She immediately understood the cause and effect of this incident She raised her head to look at Yu Linglong Her expression on her face was both sad and pained: “She…she actually lied to ht about it, the sadder she beca so deceived by a good friend was really not so used her with a lie toto co their lives

It see, that is, that the Yang faet rid of Princess Xu for the prince, then it would be a great achieve fa Yunzheng’s words, and even told Yang Yunzheng the secret of how to open and close her secret roo

The pain of being betrayed by the person you love and your long looked at her distraught manner and said in a deep voice, “Now is not the tiet out of here?”

shi+ Huiru came back to her senses, reached out her hand and wiped the tears on her face She leaned on the wall to stand up, and said, “I remember…”

As soon as her hand touched the wall, she quickly shrank back: “Why is it so hot?”

Yu Linglong’s heart sank and she immediately stretched out her palms to touch the wall to test the teht The wall that was cold just now became extremely hot, and the temperature in the dull and scouldn’t help but burst out a curse: “da to lock them in a secret room, but she also had to burn them to death!

Drops of sweat caht She looked at Yu Linglong, her eyes full of guilt: “It’s all htly and said, “Don’t talk about it, just think: is there a et us out!?”

shi+ Huiru calmed down and walked quickly to the direction of the entrance While looking on the wall, he said, “Yes! I remember my father said that there is a button in this secret roo immediately walked to her side and held the her te quickly on the dark wall

After a while, shi+ Huiru let out a cheer: “Here!”

Yu Linglong handed the match over, and saw a thuloith gray light under the firelight

shi+ Huiru could not wait to reach out and press it Who knew that as soon as she touched the button, she immediately shrank back in pain: “It’s hot—”

The fire outside had been scorching this wall, and this button had been baked for a long tilong hurriedly pulled the hairpin from her head and reached out to push the button on the wall Who knew that the button was very sh the hairpin was hard, the size was far froh

Except for jewelry, the two of the suddenly thought of the dagger in her purse, and ier’s handle happened to be larger than the button, and the button was eer was completely useless

shi+ Huiru endured the pain in her hands, tore off half of her sleeves, hurriedly wrapped it around her fingers, and sla s suddenly rose in the sultry air The teh the thin cloth and the fingers of shi+ Huiru in an instant…

Yu Linglong was taken aback: “Huiru—”

Before the voice fell, she saw that the button sank, and a gap opened in the wall, and the long-lost light ih they had not been locked in for a long tiarded as passing through hell

But before they could cheer on their success, they were shocked by the sight in front of them

The room that was still empty just noas full of fla Obviously, Yang Yunzheng was afraid that the secret room would not be able to trap them, and even lit the whole courtyard on fire!

In this way, even if Yu Linglong and shi+ Huiru escaped from the secret rooh the secret room arm just now, there was also no open flaed into a sea of ​​fire The fla towards thereasy kerosene, and there was nowhere to go

shi+ Huiru clutched her burnt finger tightly, crying desperately: “What should we do? What should we do!?”

Yu Linglong gritted her teeth and quickly tore her skirt into two pieces One piece was tucked into shi+ Huiru One piece aved by herself, flapping the fla them frantically, and she said loudly, “Go!”

She was never a person who gave up lightly Even if she couldn’t escape, she would never be able to wait for death here!

Seee, shi+ Huiru stood up, waved the dress in her hands like Yu Linglong, and ran towards the door of the room

It was just a few steps, but it was the distance between life and death

The fire seehtened by their boldness, but after a while, it rushed towards theht fire soon, and it was burned to ashes in an instant shi+ Huiru was also not much better The flame on the fabric burned more and more until it was so hot that she had to throw it away

The door of the rooht in front of the their heads and faces

It seeo As the flames expanded, the door bea around, pressing down directly on their heads

Yu Linglong ran in the front, unable to hide She was about to be hit by the heavy door beae force suddenly ca her and she flew out of the rooh she had escaped the catastrophe, Yu Linglong’s heart sank suddenly She turned around quickly and saw the burning door beauessed correctly It was shi+ Huiru behind her, pushi+ng her out with all her strength, saving her life, but also letting herself lose the chance of escape

Looking at thesuffered a lot of heartache Regardless of if that door bea, she immediately kicked the door beam out, and pulled shi+ Huiru out of the room She didn’t know if she was alive or dead

The house was burning fiercely, but the yard paved with bluestone bricks was extre sun had lost its teray-headed women in the middle of the yard

shi+ Huiru’s face was stained gray and black by smoke and dust She was not injured Her clothes were burnt to pieces and there was no obvious trau constantly The door bea her to suffer a very serious internal injury

Yu Linglong hugged shi+ Huiru’s head tightly, and her voice tre time, shi+ Huiru opened her eyes with difficulty, and her scattered pupils condensed for a long ti’s face clearly

“Are… are you okay?”

After opening her eyes, the first sentence was to ask for her safety Yu Linglong’s throat was choked a little: “I’m fine What about you?”

shi+ Huiru htly, but her beautiful face was instantly distorted with pain: “It hurts…it hurts…”

Every ti out and spilling on the lap of her clothes

Seeing her al pressed her lips tightly

What a squeamish woman Huiru used to be Even if she accidentally stabbed her finger with an embroidery needle, she complained for several days, but now, in order to save her, she had suffered such a serious injury…

Yu Linglong carefully carried shi+ Huiru on her back, and said softly: “Don’t be afraid, I will take you ho to stabilize the pace as lanced at the carriage lying on the ground outside, and walked towards the setting sun without looking back

Yang Yunzheng was indeed a delicate woe and coachradually sank to the horizon The ice cold night gently covered Yu Linglong’s figure

With her s’s sideburns, shi+ Huiru see’s ears, as thin as a gossaain… Ibit her lip desperately, resisting the pain in her heart, and said in a deep voice, “Don’t talk, save your energy”

shi+ Huiru tugged the corners of herto show a faint smile, but twitched fro, listen toshi+ Huiru’s words, Yu Linglong couldn’t help feeling a bit of anger: “You still have to protect hiry tone, shi+ Huiru suddenly coughed a few ti only felt her shoulders hot, and a damp liquid flowed down her shoulders She knew that it was the blood that shi+ Huiru vonation, Yu Linglong said in a deep voice: “Okay, I promise you that”

The stiff body behind her relaxed shi+ Huiru leaned on her shoulders, and her feeble voice was so, no one knohat I want for him better than you… Do you know? I really like him… I used to think that if I could be his wife, even if only for one day, I would be willing to give , but I won’t even be able to see hi held back the choking in her throat and said in a low voice: “Don’t worry, you won’t die, I won’t let you die!”

shi+ Huiru laughed softly, her voice resounding in Yu Linglong’s ears, like a dying butterfly flapping its fragile wings

“Linglong, I’ to die…” She coughed

The wet liquid on her shoulders was cold and hot, hot and cold Yu Linglong hardly dared to look back She couldn’t i out of shi+ Huiru’s body, or think about how long she could hold on

The setting sun was like blood, dragging Yu Linglong’s long shadow, and the sky was already dark

shi+ Huiru leaned on Yu Linglong’s back Yu Linglong only felt that her body was getting heavier, but her voice was getting softer and lighter, floating interht

“…Linglong, I once heard a saying that those who love the hardest live the shortest… When I heard it, I thought, is it true that I have deep love for hi can I live?”

Yu Linglong gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: “I pro time, live happily, and live better than anyone else! shi+ Huiru, support me! You must not die!”

shi+ Huiru’s icy face was pressed against Yu Linglong’s neck, as cold as the Dece… I’ at the city gate loo lifted shi+ Huiru’s body up and said: “Huiru, don’t sleep I will sing to you”

shi+ Huiru’s voice was loith a faint s, and I have never heard you sing… well… I won’t sleep You can sing, and I will listen carefully…”

As the evening breeze started to rise, Yu Linglong sang softly: AABA/AAAAA/AAAAAA/AAAAAAA

Your se, I will be here until the end

Your arrival was like the whistling of the wind, and the longing feels like bitter medicine, and I can hardly bear it, every minute and every second

I can’t find it, I can’t make it, the so-called beauty of the future, I don’t want anything, do you know, do you understand me this second?

I want to see, I want to find, the so-called beauty of love, you keep ht, I don’t want to miss ain the night, as if it could spread far and far

shi+ Huiru whispered: “Linglong, what kind of song is this? I’ve never heard of it…”

Yu Linglong said, “This is the song of my hometown It’s far, far away”

shi+ Huiru smiled and said softly: “It’s so nice…”

Her voice disappeared into the night sky, and there was noonly felt that shi+ Huiru’s body sank, as if she could no longer hold her back She tried her best to hold shi+ Huiru, but shi+ Huiru had no move sound, no more movements, no more breath

“Huiru, ill be hoer knehat time it here she was, or howshi+ Huiru in a fixed posture, her feet aiht her back to the Xu Palace When she walked to the gate of the Xu Palace, it was completely dark

The red-lacquered door of the palace looked so tight Yu Linglong only felt cold all over, and she didn’t even have the strength to shout

A slender figure walked towards her, and she stared at the visitor in a daze At this

The colors falling down fell on the thin shoulders of the visitor, exuding a rosy fragrance in the ht, which seemed to dilute the bloody s’er’s eyes looked extraordinarily bright She looked at her steadily and whispered: “Princess, I’m back”

…

Every time there was chaos, the people in the capital were panicked Every day before it got dark, every fa encuents outside

The prince’s armen, Lord Xu immediately deployed his troops Thethe palace The others were divided into two parts One guarded the other gates of the capital, and the other guarded the Chaoyangmen and the Prince’s Mansion controlled by the prince’s forces

The imperial court was also in turmoil Civil officials quarreled in the imperial hall every day Some supported the prince, soeneralsthe situation Some military commanders ere loyal to the princethe situation in the capital to become more and more unstable, and even more rebellious soldiers took the opportunity to rob the area where athered

At soradually had rumors that were unfavorable to the prince So been rebellious The last time he asked the emperor to issue a tax reduction order, he wanted to win over the hearts of the people and prepare for his future rebellion Others said that the prince had been the prince for many years and the emperor complained about him in every way, and his brothers were cruel Even his wife, the princess, was dis the prince This kind of disloyalty to his father, unrighteousness to his brothers, unkindness to his wife, if he became emperor, the people would suffer a lot Some people said that the rioters who robbed the people’s hoold and silver for his own rebellion and to disturb the people’s unrest, ain an excuse for his own rebellion

Of course, these words were spread by the Dragon and Tiger Gang according to Yu Linglong’s orders However, these ru hadn’t expected, and they soon spread to everybody in the streets and alleys of the capital

The result was obvious The prince’s ie of benevolence and filial piety for many years had been co the people, a villain as inferior to animals, and an unfaithful and unfilial beast Naturally no one wanted to support such a person, let alone help him

Most of the prince’s pro-military officers were the children of wealthy fa, they joined the pro-ht for the future, but now they have become a chaotic party The relatives of these people were scolded by public opinion This method ordered his children to leave the prince’s armen, he was surrounded by Lord Xu’s troops outside, and the army’s heart was shaken, and people even left every day This made it difficult for the prince to stop what he started

More terrible things were still to couards ere loyal to the prince were assassinated in a short period of tis, which he had cultivated for many years, were killed in less than ten days

The crown prince believed that it was Lord Xu’s secret tricks, and he was furious, but he didn’t know that those highly skilled personal guards were indeed killed by the guards sent by Lord Xu However, there were enerals ere killed by the killers Yu Linglong cultivated on the stoneand didn’t spend a long time in martial arts,to practice martial arts The harsh environment on the stone mountain could ood as Ling’er They practiced hard day and night, and strived for diligence, so one year of practice orth ten years to other people According to their specialties, Gong Cheng and Lei shi+ used their strengths to roups of three or five to ths, both offensive and defensive, which greatly increased their lethality

They were young, but they had also becoe for people to underestimate the eneet, attacking it at an extremely fast speed Before the opponent could react, they had already lost their lives

The crown prince’s cronies were becoth was also falling sharply As his reputation was getting worse, the slogan of “get rid of those surrounding the eine, how could a person who didn’t even respect his own father, who didn’t even care about his wife, think for the people and the coh he occupied the Chaoyangmen, one of the fortresses in the capital, he was like an isolated island in the sea, without any support Looking around, the surrounding people rebelled, and even the counselors who had followed hiainst hi who had been unswervingly supporting hi believed that it was the test of the prince from the heavens To the person who started it all, the prince row into a good eon chair was not so easy to sit on

If it weren’t for the guidance and help of the Daoist Jing, the prince would probably not be able to hold on to the present When he realized that the people around him were all untrustworthy, the prince was relieved He reliedand believed him more and more

Now that you have chosen this path, you must stick to it!

You would beco he didn’t understand was that public opinion was now coest force to guard the capital Lord Xu only ordered heavy troops to surround Chaoyangman, but did not order they was adopted

The prince did not know the true intentions of Lord Xu’s actions, but Yu Linglong, who had been watching the galance

When the prince rebelled, it was the prince who made the mistake first, but if Lord Xu took the opportunity to defeat the prince in one fell swoop, then those who did not care about brotherhood would become Lord Xu

Lord Xu ordered people to surround Chaoyangmen One reason was to control the prince’s actions so that he could no longer take any further actions; the other was to give the prince ti troops, then Lord Xu would protect the emperor and the capital For the safety of the people, he would take action to deal with the prince In this way, Lord Xu would put hier the delay, the worse the situation would be for the prince

This was how the old saying goes, a soldier defeated without fighting

In this , the prince was dooh, he would choose to surrender to Lord Xu when he found that he was surrounded by heavy encircleive up He waited too long for this day, and even if he knew that the throne was surrounded by sharp knives and sharp blades, he would not hesitate to go forward

This was the temptation of power Even if people knew that they were hopeless, they would fly toward their destiny like a moth to the fire

…

The situation on the prince’s side was not good, and his followers naturally didn’t have a good life

Changting Hou Mansion was highly powerful, and it naturally bore the brunt The emperor had issued an edict to inform the world and abolished the prince’s position The partyHou Mansion had a close relationshi+p with the prince, and although he had not publicly followed the prince, Changting Hou was ordered by the emperor to recuperate at home, and he was not allowed to be suuise

This was not a good sign Changting Hou, who had been in the court forfa to borrow the relationshi+p fro Hou Mansion

Changting Hou couldn’t go out, so thisHuanian, and Yang Yunzheng Yang Yunzheng was really busy these days She went out early and returned late, visiting people ere close to her

On this day, Yang Yunzheng went to another courtyard on the outskirts of the capital, and did not return to the capital until dusk

In recent days, there had been a great chaos in the city, and everyone was in danger Although it was not dark at thestreets as before Every house was closed and there was no noise

The carriage turned into a re sound echoed in the depths of the alley On this cool breezy night, it had an uneasy feeling

Yang Yunzheng told the maidservant a feords and the uards, and wo late, hurry up Wait at the house, and she’ll give you hot shochu”

The people who had been blown all the way by the wind couldn’t help but lift up their spirits and said in unison: “Yes Thank you, Third Lady”

After these feords, the deserted alley seeained a lot of spirit The woe shrank their necks, and accelerated their pace with the speed of the carriage

The setting sun finally sank completely, and the entire capital city was suddenly shrouded in a gray sky, and the night was suddenly chillier

As soon as she was about to pass through the alley, a dozen black figures suddenly flen from the roofs on both sides of the road, and quickly approached Yang Yunzheng’s carriage

The guards i their hands on the handle of the knife, and the leader raised his voice and said, “Who’s there? This is the carriage of the third lady of the Changting Hou Mansion, you can’t move it! Don’t—”

Before he could finish his threatening words, it stopped abruptly

The sharp blade pierced through the air, pierced his muscles and split his bones In an instant, the head of the leader flew high into the sky, sprinkling countless drops of blood

The coachman and women screahostly shadows disappeared, leaving only the corpses all over the ground

In just a blink of an eye, the corpses of the several guards ere still alive were everywhere, and the evening breeze was full of a strong s

The faces of the coachman and the women were splattered with drops of blood, and they looked at each other, seeing the extreme fear in each other’s eyes

Were those dark shadows just now huhosts? How did they co a word? What was their purpose, was it just to kill these irrelevant guards?

The woe so that their violent treht had dis were extreht

If it weren’t for the terrible corpses on the ground, they alht the shadows just noere their own hallucinations

After soe, apparently trying to keep calm: “Hurry up!”

This awakened them, and the coachhtened that he screa shadows disappeared, they didn’t knohen they would appear The guards who have experienced many battles in the Hou Mansion were all dead, and they had to flee this nightmare place

The horse seemed to be infected by their fearful eh the empty street Those women had to run as hard as they could to barely keep up with the speed of the carriage

Seeing this familiar street, everyone’s mood became a little ht?

However, they were obviously too opti for a day, and he was obviously exhausted After sprinting for a long tily

As they passed by a pawnshop with a closed door, a few black figures suddenly flen on the roof This time, before the women yelled out, a few corpses had fallen by the side of the carriage

Just like before, these figures were as fast as ghosts, and there was no sound at all They arrived like lightning and left when they killed people

The wo just now didn’t even have a trace of breath this time

The coache him this time He waved the whip in his hand desperately and whipped the cart horse until the horse’s back was covered with blood

In the violent whipping of the coachain, and rushed in the direction of Changting Hou Mansion

In the carriage, thelooked out in a panic At this moment, she didn’t care about etiquette She stretched out her hand and raised the curtain, her eyes fixed on the ht darkened, she couldn’t see anything at all, but she didn’t dare to lower the curtain, as if she could only protect herself from assassinations

At thisin the dark sky, and suddenly screa this urging sound, the coachhtened He waved his whip even faster, as if this would be able to shake off the terrifying shadow

The figure did not seee at all, and fell on the roof of the carriage in an instant Yang Yunzhen could not see the movements outside, only heard the screae: “Ah—”

The sound seeround, and before the end of the reverberation, it flew farther and farther With a wet thud, the scream of the coachman came to an abrupt end

Obviously, the black shadow threw the coachhtened horse didn’t even realize that the coachman had disappeared, and he ran wildly in the street in pain The carriage bu and thehad to hold on to the frae desperately to stabilize her body She screahtenedto the fra’s order, she shook her head in terror, “No…no! Miss, you can spare ritted her teeth and kicked the maid violently, but even so, the maid did not dare to stretch out her head to see the situation

Thewas even less brave The two of thehtened horse, and even though the carriage drove theo out at all

The horse ran aimlessly on the street, ran into a bend, and turned abruptly It was because of inertia that the horse-drawn carriage broke away fro Yunzheng and the e They didn’t care about rubbing the sore spots on their bodies, and they ran all over the street, screa, “Help! Help—”

On the empty street, the two of them screaht sky, but no one came out to check

In this world, ould dare to co Yunzheng carried the cumbersome hem of her skirt and ran forward desperately She couldn’t see the surrounding streets and didn’t knohere she was The huge fear oing

Suddenly a whistle sounded in the darkness, Yang Yunzhen couldn’t hold back her steps, and sla in front of her

A few drops of war s opened her mouth wide, unable to even scream, and watched the maid fall softly on her own

A heavy arrow that waspierced the th turned her into a pool of flesh and blood Yang Yunzhen didn’t need to look at it to know that her maidat the bloody corpse in front of her, Yang Yunzhen didn’t even have the strength to run this tiround

Now she was alone

She died and it’s nothing… His Majesty said, as long as we kill Princess Xu for hi fa Huanian couldn’t understand, but there was an ominous premonition in her heart

He turned his head abruptly, looked at Yu Linglong, and said loudly, “Princess Xu, what didthis to her?”

Yu Linglong’s eyes finally fell on Yang Yunzheng She looked at Yang Yunzheng as panicking and said, “Why don’t you tell your brother what you have done?”

This unexpected behavior stopped Yu Linglong’s scolding She lowered her eyes and looked at the seven-footof pity suddenly surged in her heart

This feeling had nothing to do with the Yang brother and sister What Yu Linglong thought about at the moment was shi+ Huiru, who had not yet passed the period of

Looking at Yang Yunzheng as struggling in the fla, then she should pay for what she has done”

Life was irreversible, and if giving benefits was like death, then Yang Yunzheng ive her life for a life!

It wasn’t that Yu Linglong was afraid of the little maid, but she felt she looked a little faainst the wall in pain, so she told Ling’er: “Go and see where the person was hurt”
