Transformed into a vicious concubine? Being led by the eldest sister is annoying
Chapter 209 Assassinated on the way
An arrow hit the horse, and the horse was frightened and ran forward madly.
Qingyan hurriedly tightened the reins, trying to control the horse, but to no avail.
Qingqing in the carriage was frightened by the sudden situation.
After a series of bumps, the carriage was about to overturn.
Bai Qianqian pulled Qingqing and rolled off the carriage.
At this time, a group of masked men in black appeared and quickly surrounded the scene of the overturned car.
Bai Qianqian's heart sank as she realized they were in danger.
She held Qingqing's hand tightly and stared at the men in black around her with a firm gaze.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" Bai Qianqian asked loudly.
Qingyan looked at these men in black warily.
The man in black approached step by step with a sharp knife in hand without saying a word.
Bai Qianqian protected Qingqing and retreated, while secretly observing the enemy's movements.
Suddenly, a man in black attacked with a sword.
Bai Qianqian dodged sideways and kicked the opponent in the vitals.
Seeing this, the other men in black launched an attack together. Bai Qianqian dodged left and right nimbly and fought fiercely with them.
During the fight, Bai Qianqian discovered that the moves of these men in black seemed familiar. She was moved. Could it be that they were...
Bai Qianqian was thinking while fighting, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
She recalled the experience of being ambushed by someone, and the tactics used by these men in black were exactly the same as those of the assassins at that time!
Are they the same group of people? Or is there another mastermind behind this?
As her thoughts surged, Bai Qianqian's attack became more and more fierce.
She decided to subdue these men in black first and then find out the truth.
Seeing the right moment, Bai Qianqian leaped into the air and stabbed one of the men in black with the dagger in her hand like a gust of wind.
The man couldn't dodge and was hit in the chest.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other men in black began to retreat.
How could Bai Qianqian give them the chance? She took advantage of the victory and killed several more people.
Seeing the enemy fleeing, Bai Qianqian quickly stepped forward and pressed the acupoints of the injured man in black, asking, "Tell me! Who sent you here?"
The man in black kept silent, his eyes flickering.
Seeing this, Bai Qianqian exerted a little force with the dagger in her hand, piercing his skin, and blood oozed out.
"If you don't want to say it, I have plenty of ways to make you speak." Bai Qianqian said in a cold tone.
The man in black had cold sweat on his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to reveal a word.
Bai Qianqian's heart sank, realizing that the man in black probably wouldn't confess easily.
She made a prompt decision and decided to bring him back home and interrogate him slowly.
Just as she turned around, the man in black suddenly groaned and fell to the ground dead.
Bai Qianqian was shocked and quickly checked the black-clothed man's body, and found a trace of black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Obviously, this person had already taken poison and would rather die than surrender.
This sudden change made Bai Qianqian fall into deep thought. Since the opponent was so determined, the mastermind behind the scenes must be someone powerful.
Bai Qianqian stared at the body of the man in black with a frown on her face.
She realized the cunning and cruelty of her opponent, which made it more difficult to track down the truth.
She secretly vowed to uncover the true identity of the mastermind behind the scene.
Afterwards, Bai Qianqian carefully searched the black-clad man's body, hoping to find some clues.
However, nothing was found except that trace of black blood.
Just as she was about to leave, her eyes accidentally swept across the index finger of the man in black's right hand.
There seems to be an imperceptible mark there.
Bai Qianqian took a closer look and found that it was an exquisite ring with a mysterious pattern engraved on it.
She had an idea that perhaps this ring was the key clue to solving the mystery.
So, Bai Qianqian carefully took off the ring and put it in her pocket.
He took Qingyan and Qingqing to Bai Mansion.
It’s dark now, mom and dad will definitely be worried!
Bai Qianqian and the other two hurried back to the Bai Mansion.
As soon as I entered the door, Han came to greet me anxiously.
"Qianqian, you're finally back. It's so late. Mother was worried to death!" Han's eyes were full of concern.
Bai Qianqian quickly comforted her: "Mom, I'm fine. I'm sorry to have made you worry."
She didn't plan to tell her parents about the attack just now.
Even if I tell them, it will only add to my parents' worries.
"Mom and Dad, you guys take a rest first. I have something to do and need to go find my uncle."
Having said this, she turned and left again.
Also leaving with them were the two maids Qingyan and Qingqing.
After entering the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, Bai Qianqian went straight to her uncle's courtyard.
Seeing that there was still light in the study, he just went over there.
Qi Mu and Zhang Dong were standing at the door of the study room. They were surprised to see Bai Qianqian coming so late.
"Fourth Miss, do you want to see the master for something?"
Bai Qianqian hummed, raised her hand and knocked on the door, and called out in a deep voice: "Uncle, it's me."
"Come in!" Bai Qingsong's voice came from the room.
Bai Qianqian pushed the door open and closed it behind her.
With a serious look on her face, she told her uncle about the assassination attempt and took out the mysterious ring.
Bai Qingsong took the ring and carefully observed the mysterious pattern on it.
His brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be deeply impressed by the pattern.
"Qianqian, I seem to have seen the pattern on this ring somewhere." Bai Qingsong pondered for a moment.
Suddenly his eyes lit up, "I remember now, this is a secret mark of the royal family. Only people within the royal family know the existence of this mark."
Bai Qianqian was shocked when she heard this.
A secret mark of royalty, which means the person behind this may be related to the royal family.
"Uncle, this matter is of great importance. If the mastermind behind this is really someone from the royal family, then our opponent is too powerful." Bai Qianqian said worriedly.
Bai Qingsong nodded, his expression serious: "Qianqian, don't worry for now. I will secretly investigate this matter and see if I can find some clues. You should also be careful recently and don't act alone anymore."
Bai Qianqian knew her uncle’s worries, so she nodded and said she would be careful.
After leaving her uncle's study, Bai Qianqian returned to her own room.
She sat on the edge of the bed, her mind full of thoughts.
This incident made her feel unprecedented pressure.
She knew that she had to become stronger to protect herself and those around her.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Miss, it's me, Qingqing." Qingqing's voice came from outside the door.
Bai Qianqian got up to open the door, only to see Qingqing standing outside with a panicked look on her face.
"Miss, something bad has happened. I just came back from the kitchen and heard someone say that something big happened in the palace tonight." Qingqing said anxiously.
Bai Qianqian's heart tightened. Something big happened in the palace. Could it be related to tonight's attack?
"Qingqing, tell me slowly, what happened in the palace?" Bai Qianqian asked calmly.
Qingqing took a deep breath and then slowly said, "I heard from the people in the kitchen that an assassin suddenly appeared in the palace and attempted to assassinate the emperor. Fortunately, the guards appeared in time and subdued the assassin. However, the emperor was seriously injured and his condition is unclear now."
Bai Qianqian was shocked when she heard this.
The assassins in the palace and the serious injury of the emperor, all of this seemed to point to a bigger conspiracy.
