Seeing that the assassin was about to catch up, An Lingrong exerted force and jumped onto the horse again. She held the reins tightly and looked at the sky that was getting dark. She had no choice but to run in the direction where the emperor had left.

She rode her horse recklessly forward, and she didn't know when the other sounds around her had disappeared. She didn't catch up with the emperor, but it seemed that there were no assassins ahead, so An Lingrong felt relieved.

*

Ye Lan'yi had mastered horse training skills, and she rushed out of the encirclement in the first possible moment. When she looked back, she found that most of the assassins were chasing the emperor, but a few were chasing the scattered concubines.

And the assassin who was chasing them actually just wanted to catch up with Zhen Huan.

There was no other reason, because she saw that the two assassins were about to catch up with Fu Cha. She thought they would attack Fu Cha, and she had already drawn her bow and arrow, but she didn't expect that the two assassins would pass Fu Cha and chase Zhen Huan...

The secret guards who arrived took care of a few more assassins, and Ye Lan Yi rode her horse in the direction where Zhen Huan escaped.

"Ah!" Following a scream, Ye Lan Yi saw Zhen Huan fall off the horse. The assassin shot her in the arm.

"Help! Help!..." Although Zhen Huan was in pain, she still forced herself to get up and continued to run forward while shouting.

"Swoosh!" The assassin shot another arrow, but still missed her vital part. This time it hit her leg. Zhen Huan felt pain again and fell to the ground.

The assassin dismounted and walked towards Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan shook her head and struggled to retreat, but the assassin did not draw his sword.

"Ah!" Zhen Huan suddenly shouted. Ye Lanyi looked over and saw that the assassin had grabbed Zhen Huan's hair and dragged her back...

"Ah! Let me go!" Zhen Huan struggled to speak, but the assassin had no mercy at all and just dragged her back by her hair.

"How dare you! Let me go! Let me go!" Zhen Huan struggled again, but the assassin did not stop.

Walking up to the horse, the assassin raised his hand, picked up Zhen Huan, and was about to throw her onto the horse's back.

"Please kill me! Please kill me!" Seeing this, Zhen Huan seemed to understand the assassin's intention and begged with tears.

"Kill you? Don't worry, no one from your Zhen family can escape!" said the assassin as he threw Zhen Huan onto the horse.

"What do you mean? Who are you? What have you done to my Zhen family?" Zhen Huan looked at the assassin in horror, as if she wanted to see clearly who was in front of her.

"What do you mean? It's what you heard! Not only did your Zhen family harm my entire Nian family, you even killed the baby in the eldest daughter's belly. It's not a pity if your Zhen family dies a thousand times!" The assassin spoke with hatred.

"Who are you? Did you make a mistake? It was the emperor who ordered the killing of Nian Gengyao. What does that have to do with our Zhen family? And what does Nian Shilan's child have to do with our Zhen family?" Zhen Huan forced herself to calm down and spoke.

"So what if they have nothing to do with you? Your father had an affair with the daughter of a traitor and gave birth to an illegitimate child. Even if my Nian family doesn't kill your entire clan, that dog emperor will destroy your Zhen family when he finds out. It doesn't matter who you die at the hands of, right?!" The assassin said as he mounted his horse and was about to take Zhen Huan away.

"No! There is a misunderstanding here!" Zhen Huan opened her mouth, and then she heard a "whoosh" sound and felt the assassin behind her fall down.

Zhen Huan struggled and fell off the horse, looking around in horror. She had just pushed the blame onto the Emperor and silently prayed in her heart that the secret guards had not heard what she had just said.

She looked around and finally saw Ye Lanyi riding a horse towards her.

"Lady Ning, I'm injured, please come and save me!" Zhen Huan was relieved. As long as they were not secret guards, ordinary people would not have such good hearing. She comforted herself and called out to Ye Lanyi, who rode over on horseback.

"Lady Ning, come and help me. My arms and legs are injured and I can't get on the horse." Zhen Huan looked up at Ye Lan'yi who was sitting on the horse, looking very embarrassed.

Ye Lanyi dismounted and walked up to Zhen Huan.

"Lady Ning." Zhen Huan extended her hand toward Ye Lan'yi, but Ye Lan'yi raised her eyebrows and looked at her with disdain.

"You, the Zhen family, are so bold that you dare to marry the daughter of a guilty minister? Oh, I forgot. You didn't marry her, you did something shameful with her secretly!" Ye Lan'yi looked at Zhen Huan, her tone full of contempt.

"The Zhen family has been loyal and brave for generations. The assassin was just talking nonsense. Lady Ning, please don't take it seriously." Zhen Huan pursed her lips and spoke calmly.

"Really?" Ye Lan Yi looked at Zhen Huan and squatted down.

"Of course it's true. Take me away first..." Zhen Huan started, but before she finished her words, she felt a chill in her lower abdomen. She lowered her head in disbelief, only to see that the dagger in Ye Lan'yi's hand had already pierced into her lower abdomen.

"You..." Zhen Huan widened her eyes and looked at Ye Lan Yi.

"Let's not talk about whether your entire Zhen family deserves to die. You killed the prince, how dare you still live?!" Ye Lan Yi spoke word by word, looking at Zhen Huan with hatred in her eyes.

"Yes... yes, Your Majesty, please... please, don't... don't kill me..." Zhen Huan said while looking at the dagger, but Ye Lan Yi sneered.

"I won't let him go either!" Ye Lan Yi spoke and pulled out the dagger in her hand.

"You...you...you..." Zhen Huan's eyes widened, but she couldn't say anything else.

"Go to hell." Ye Lan Yi looked at Zhen Huan and said this, then raised her hand and stabbed the dagger into her chest again, and even twisted it fiercely.

After a few breaths, blood gushed out from the corners of Zhen Huan's lips. She fell backwards and her eyes lost their light.

Ye Lanyi looked at Zhen Huan lying on the ground, breathing heavily, and her fist holding the dagger was still shaking...

The person who killed the prince is finally dead!

After a long while, she came back to her senses and thrust the dagger in her hand into the assassin's hand...

The sky was getting darker and darker. An Lingrong had no idea where she was. The horse seemed to have reached its limit and was moving slower and slower...

Finally, with a neigh, the horse stopped moving forward. An Lingrong looked forward and found that there was a cliff in front of her.

An Lingrong tightened the reins and asked the horse to turn around, but just as she turned around, she saw two assassins blocking her way.

"You..." An Lingrong said as she reined in her horse and took a step back. She then took out a dagger from her sleeve and held it tightly in her hand.

His hands exerted force and a sharp pain came instantly from his arm. An Lingrong was so painful that sweat broke out on her forehead. She had no choice but to switch the dagger back to her left hand.

"Lady in front, if you are willing to surrender, we can spare your life!" A tall and thin assassin spoke with a malicious smile in his tone.

"Don't even think about it!" An Lingrong said coldly. Even if she wanted to jump down and end it all, she couldn't just surrender.

"Then we guys won't show mercy." Another shorter assassin spoke up, and as he did so he drew his bow and shot at the horse's leg. The horse leaned back in pain, and An Lingrong was thrown off.
