After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

The emperor on the throne narrowed his eyes.

The guards around immediately took action.

"Father, be careful of the Imperial Guards!"

Xiao Weiye jumped off the horse before it even stopped.

The people around looked at each other.

"Yer, what happened? Why are you so embarrassed?"

Xiao Weiye's whole body was in a disgraceful state, and his clothes were stained with blood and weeds.

He wiped his cheek and said, "I met a group of assassins in the hunting ground. They were not from the Central Plains, and they brought falcons with them."

The emperor remained calm upon hearing this: "Someone, go check."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Weiye coughed and said, "This group of people started to attack us in the forest. I was worried that they would assassinate my father, so I hurried back."

"Thank you for your hard work, but I'm fine, sit down first."

Hearing this, Xiao Weiye nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he is young and calm, so how could he not be afraid when encountering such a thing?

Now that they saw that their father was fine and everyone was sitting at the banquet, they relaxed their vigilance.

"Yes, thank you, Father."

At this moment, Prince Li, who had just changed his clothes, came back and said, "Fifth brother, come sit here and let the maid wipe your face."

The blood on his cheek had dried, and he looked extremely scary.

"Come here, Ye'er. Let me see if you are injured."

Xiao Weiye stepped forward and saluted: "I am fine, but we encountered an assassin when we came out. It was Miss Nangong who rescued us. She asked me to come back and pass on the message. Father, please go and save her."

Mrs. Shen, who had been very calm, suddenly changed her expression.

“Oh? Miss Nangong…”

King Li seemed a little surprised and rubbed his fingertips.

"Chen Sui."

"exist!"

"Send someone to look for him. If you find an assassin, kill him without mercy!"

"Yes!"

The orders were issued in an orderly manner, and the emperor sat in the main seat with a calm expression.

"Humph, someone really wants to die."

Prince Li smiled and said, "Father, don't worry. What can a mob accomplish?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came forward to bring water for Xiao Weiye to wash his hands.

He was worried about something going wrong, so he was unwilling to step down.

But the maids who came suddenly took out daggers and stabbed Xiao Weiye directly.

The Royal Guards standing by saw this and immediately stepped forward: "Protect His Majesty!"

"Quick, protect Ye'er!"

The emperor was startled and quickly ordered someone to hold Xiao Weiye back.

But the other party was coming for him.

The Imperial Guards took the opportunity to get closer to the emperor and chopped him down with their swords.

The sharp cold light almost blinds people's eyes.

The emperor was so frightened that he could not even blink, thinking, "My life is over."

"careful!"

Suddenly a horse appeared in the distance.

The woman on horseback had her long hair disheveled and a few drops of bright red blood on her cheeks.

She drew her bow and shot an arrow, whoosh!

The long arrow came through the air and pierced the assassin's heart.

Just like that, the rescuers arrived and quickly subdued the assassin.

Xiao Weiye was stabbed but not seriously. He stood there in a daze with his lips turning pale.

"Escort!"

The guards nearby quickly gathered around and the scene suddenly became a mess.

Nangong Yuan's horse rushed into the banquet, she raised the long sword of the Royal Guards, and puffed!

The gorgeous blade light chopped off the head of a royal guard.

"Nangong Yuan, what are you doing?"

King Li was furious.

Unexpectedly, the emperor trembled his fingers and said, "Well, you did a good job, Nangong Yuan!"

She dismounted and knelt on one knee: "I have my reasons for hurting people. Your Majesty, please calm down."

“No…it’s okay, cough cough cough.”

The emperor coughed and said, "All of you leave!"

As soon as the imperial guards sent out a spy, everyone was so scared that they immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Nangong Yuan, come to me."

Hearing this, she stood up and stood beside the emperor, and the guards hurriedly dragged the assassin away.

"Royal Guards, there's an assassin sneaking in."

After Nangong Yuan said this, the emperor's face turned extremely ugly.

"Check, check for me!"

But now is not the time.

No one knows how many people are left on the other side.

"Your Majesty, please retreat to the palace first, it will be safer."

The emperor came back to his senses and said, "Yes, everyone go back and don't come out unless necessary."

The Jinwu Guards were the emperor's confidants and temporarily took on full responsibility for the emperor's protection.

Nangong Yuan gave Tao Zhu a look and asked her to take good care of Mrs. Shen.

"Don't worry, miss."

Tao Zhu helped Madam Shen up: "Madam, let's go back to the house first."

"What's going on? What happened?"

"It's a long story. It's dangerous here. Madam, please go back and talk about it."

Mrs. Shen did not ask any more questions and quickly followed Tao Zhu back to her residence in the palace.

The Jinwu Guards surrounded the palace and then began to clear out the assassins.

"Your Majesty, are you all right?"

The emperor was frightened and has not yet recovered.

"Don't worry, Father. We are all here."

Xiao Weiye stood aside, covering his wound with a grim expression.

"Quick, let the imperial physician take a look at your injuries."

"It's not serious. He won't die. Don't worry, Father."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Soon the imperial physician arrived and bandaged Xiao Weiye's wound.

After resting for a while, the emperor finally calmed down.

"What happened? Did you also get chased on the road?"

Nangong Yuan nodded: "Someone was chasing the Fifth Prince deep in the hunting grounds, and I happened to run into them. At the time, I was worried that this group of people were coming for His Majesty, so we hurried back and luckily we caught up with them."

"Well, you are very good, A Yuan."

Nangong Yuan curled her lips and said, "It is my duty. Besides, the General's Mansion is only loyal to Your Majesty, so it is my responsibility to protect Your Majesty."

"The family tradition of the General's Mansion is indeed upright. I was not wrong about you."

He finished speaking and said, “Thanks to you today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.”

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to investigate the assassins and reorganize the Royal Guards."

"Yes, go and call the commander of the Jinwu Guard over."

The eunuch nodded quickly, stood up and left.

Soon a man came in, it was Chen Sui.

"His Majesty."

"How did the investigation go?"

"The assassins have been killed, and the remaining subordinates are still investigating. The commander of the Royal Guards has voluntarily resigned and has apologized outside."

The emperor snorted coldly: "He dares to come!"

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I don't think the commander did it on purpose. There are so many people under the Royal Guards, and he may not know every one of them."

Those around the emperor were all carefully selected people.

Now that something has gone wrong, he has full responsibility.

The emperor didn't say anything, but asked Chen Sui to speed up the investigation.

"Have you ever fought against the other party?"

Nangong Yuan nodded: "Yes, the moves don't look like Central Plains martial arts. I suspect it was an assassination by an alien race."

"That would be troublesome."

Only when everything was almost done did the emperor convene a meeting of his cabinet ministers.

Nangong Yuan resigned voluntarily.

"Your mother is here too, go see her and don't be frightened."

The emperor is worthy of being an emperor. He has completely calmed down and started to work normally.
