She smiled, her eyes firm: "General, my father is the Minister of Rites of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He taught me to be knowledgeable and to distinguish right from wrong since I was a child, so my father will respect my decision."

Guo Biao gritted his teeth and said, "Then you go and die first."

Chen Yanrou's expression changed.

Guo Biao was holding the bowl of poison, and he was grabbing Chen Yanrou's jaw and trying to force her to drink the poison.

Just when Chen Yanrou felt that she was doomed and slowly closed her eyes, the bowl of poison was not poured down.

"Pfft!"

"Bam—"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

The medicine bowl fell to the ground, breaking into pieces, making a crisp sound.

Chen Yanrou opened her eyes abruptly and looked at Guo Biao in front of her. Her eyes widened, blood flowed from her mouth, and her face was filled with an extremely incredible and painful expression.

The big knife that was at Guo Biao's side now pierced through his abdomen.

The man holding the sword stretched out his hands and pushed, and Guo Biao fell to the ground with a bang, dying with his eyes open.

Hearing the noise inside the room, the guards standing at the door drew their swords and rushed into the room.

Chen Yanrou immediately came back to her senses from the joy of Jun Zeyuan waking up.

She opened her arms and stood in front of Jun Zeyuan, with a look of fearlessness: "This is the Sixth Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Li, who was personally appointed by the Emperor. Your general sent poison to kill His Royal Highness Prince Li.

Now that he has been executed, if you put down your swords and let His Royal Highness Prince Li have a good rest, maybe the Emperor will spare your lives when he wakes up."

The guards looked at each other in bewilderment. The situation in the court was delicate, and they were just following General Guo Biao's orders and going with the flow.

But looking at the body of General Guo Biao on the ground, His Royal Highness Prince Li had already woken up. They had lost their leader and were at a loss for a moment.

Jun Yichen lowered his eyes to look at Chen Yanrou, who was standing in front of him and was a head shorter than him.

He smiled and stretched out his hand to pull her to his side, leaning over and whispering in her ear: "Rou'er, don't worry, they can't hurt me."

Chen Yanrou's face flushed instantly, even her ears were red.

Jun Zeyuan's soft voice made her lose her mind. Even though her face was red, she was still silly and smiled unconsciously.

"Deputy General Jin, aren't you coming out yet?"

"Back off, everyone, back off. Didn't you hear Miss Chen's words clearly? General Guo Biao used poison to poison His Royal Highness Prince Li. He deserves to die. Do you want to die with him?"

The thick-bearded man who came in was Deputy Commander Jin, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard.

Now that General Guo Biao is dead, the imperial guards will naturally listen to the deputy general.

In fact, Vice General Jin had led the Imperial Guards for a longer time than General Guo Biao, but General Guo Biao had military merits and previously worked under the Queen Mother, and later defected to Jun Minhuai.

With General Guo Biao here, Vice General Jin has always been Vice General Jin for so many years.

And Vice General Jin is Jun Yichen's man.

The guards put away their swords and left the room.

Deputy General Jin was dark-skinned, but his teeth were surprisingly white. He bowed respectfully towards Jun Zeyuan and said, "Your Highness Prince Li, please forgive me. I did not stand by and watch someone die without helping..."

Jun Zeyuan waved his hand: "I know."

He pointed at Guo Biao's body on the ground and said, "Throw it into a mass grave and let the wolves eat it."

Deputy General Jin smiled, showing his big white teeth and said respectfully, "Yes."

Then Vice General Jin quickly cleaned up the scene and retreated.
