The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

"Empress, haven't you already agreed in your heart?" Zhong Ling looked at Li Changle and said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Li Changle's expression froze for a moment, and his face instantly became somewhat gloomy.

Yes, she already knew the answer at the palace gate square. She had known the answer since her grandfather and uncle chose to cooperate with Prince Ling and nominated her brother to take the throne.

But now, she has sat on the throne. If she wants her brother to take the throne, the only way is to kill her, the empress.

"The imperial family is the most ruthless. If I had a choice, I would rather be born in an ordinary family." Li Changle sighed and looked at the starry sky with sadness in his eyes.

"Sister Zhong Ling is also his woman, right? He is so good to you..." At this time, Li Changguang suddenly lowered his head and looked at Zhong Ling with envy in his eyes.

Along the way, she saw Jiang Fan's love for Zhong Ling and the intimacy between them. She didn't know where to start, but her heart was filled with envy.

If she had a choice, she would not want to be the empress. She would rather stay by Jiang Fan's side and be spoiled by him.

From childhood to adulthood, she never felt any affection from her father or her maternal grandfather. Even her mother showed little concern for her.

This also made her cautious and careful. Otherwise, she would not have survived in the palace until now. It was even more impossible for her to ask Jiang Fan for help after her life was threatened!

Zhong Ling looked at Li Changle with a complicated look in her eyes. She could see that Li Changle had fallen in love with Jiang Fan, but the most Jiang Fan could do to Li Changle was to use her!

She didn't know whether Li Changle could get what she wanted from Jiang Fan, nor did she know whether Li Changle would turn love into hate.

Speaking of which, Li Changguang is also a poor person. Her parents don't love her, and her closest maternal grandparents even want to kill her for their own benefit.

In other words, from the time she was born until now, her life has not been in her own hands. During the trip to Dayan, she was treated as an abandoned child who could be sacrificed at any time.

"He will treat you well, believe him..." Zhong Ling sighed and said softly to Li Changle.

She had no intention of being jealous of Li Changle. After following Jiang Fan silently, she knew that there would definitely be no women around Jiang Fan. After all, Jiang Fan would be the king of a country in the future.

Sometimes the ruler of a country is forced to do things against his will. If he wants to balance certain forces, he must establish connections with all the major forces, and marriage is the best way to do this.

Hearing this, Li Changle looked at Zhong Ling with gratitude on her face. She thought she would be jealous of Zhong Ling, but the woman in front of her was too perfect.

She has a quiet and gentle temperament. In her eyes, except Jiang Fan, nothing else seems to be important. She guards him silently.

If she were a man, she would probably love such a woman to the core! Even if she were a woman, she could not feel hatred or jealousy towards Zhong Ling.

"Thank you!" Li Changguang smiled at Zhong Ling.

At this moment, a scream was heard not far away. The moment the sound rang out, screams were heard everywhere in the palace.

Then, there was a fierce fighting sound, accompanied by the sound of gunfire.

Zhong Ling's face changed slightly, and he quickly protected Li Changguang behind him. Several white-robed soldiers immediately took out their revolvers.

At this time, more than a dozen figures appeared at the courtyard wall. They fell into the wall, and the leader exuded a powerful aura.

These people had their faces covered, so their appearances could not be seen clearly, but there was a murderous aura emanating from all of them.

"They're finally here!" Li Changguang looked at the dozen or so killers that appeared and a miserable smile appeared on his face.

She still held on to a last glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that she was overthinking. Now it seems that she valued family ties too much.

In the palace, Concubine De heard the noise outside and a look of grief appeared in her eyes. She patted Li Zhi in her arms gently. Tears silently fell from the corners of her eyes.

For the sake of power, her father is no longer the loving father he once was, and the same goes for her brother!

She did not move, but just sat there quietly, waiting for her fate to come. Because she was just a woman and could not resist.

Zhong Ling looked at the twelve people in front of her with a cold look in her eyes. She felt a little anxious. Li Changle had been assassinated, and Jiang Fan might have been assassinated as well.

She had to end the battle quickly and then meet up with Jiang Fan.

There are twelve enemies in front of them, four first-rate masters and eight second-rate masters. The lineup is very strong. Even if a master comes, I am afraid he will not be able to get away for a while.

"Quick battle and quick decision... go and protect the prince!" Zhong Ling snorted coldly and rushed forward.

The six white-robed guards nodded and rushed out, leaving the remaining two white-robed guards to guard Li Changle.

The twelve assassins on the opposite side looked at Zhong Ling and the white-robed soldiers rushing over, with a hint of sneer on their lips. There were twelve people on their side, four first-rate masters and eight second-rate masters.

How could Zhong Ling and her seven companions contend against such a lineup? They rushed over fearlessly, which was tantamount to seeking death.

Twelve people rushed over immediately. Among them, two first-rate masters and two second-rate masters wanted to take the opportunity to rush towards Li Changle and kill him.

However, just as they started fighting, there were bang bang sounds, and six second-rate masters were shot in the forehead as soon as they approached the white robe soldiers.

Six of them fell heavily to the ground, and no one knew how they died. Zhong Ling faced two top masters, and she used her strange body movements to easily cut through the necks of the two top masters with her long sword.

The two top masters were still charging forward, but when Zhong Ling took advantage of the momentum to rush towards the other two top masters, their figures suddenly stopped after taking a few steps.

The two top masters' eyes were filled with shock, and they only had time to utter two words!

"Grandmaster!"

However, these two words rang like thunder in the ears of the remaining four masters. They turned back in horror and saw that Zhong Ling had already rushed back.

The moment the four people turned their heads, the long sword instantly slashed across their necks. The four people felt a pain in their necks, and then, their whole bodies felt as if they were being drained dry.

Under their horrified gaze, the last four killers fell down instantly, with big gashes on their necks and blood spurting out.

Li Changguang watched as Zhong Ling killed six people in a row with just a few moves, four of whom were top-notch masters, and there was a look of astonishment in his eyes.

She didn't expect Zhong Ling's martial arts skills to be so strong that he had even reached the level of a grandmaster.

You have to know how difficult it is to reach the Grandmaster level. There are probably no more than four Grandmasters in the entire Great Western Dynasty. The number of Grandmasters in Dayan can probably be counted on one hand.

The Liao and Xia kingdoms don't have even one, but the Northern Barbarians have four, and the Northern Mongolians seem to have three first-rate masters.

And the Zhong Ling in front of her was actually a powerful master. How could she not be shocked?
