Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

Just as Liu Mei closed her eyes and waited for death, a sound of breaking air was heard beside her.

With a clang, the dagger flew past Liu Mei's hair and cut off a lock of her hair.

When she opened her eyes again, Liu Mei saw King Zhao holding a sword and standing beside her. She didn't expect that it was King Zhao who saved her. Her heart couldn't help but feel warm.

You have to know that her husband, the prince, ran faster than anyone else just now and didn't even look at her.

Instead, it was Prince Zhao, with whom she had only a fleeting romance, who saved her. When Liu Mei looked at Prince Zhao, a hint of gratitude and love filled her eyes.

But the assassin did not give the two much time to look at each other affectionately, and the assassination continued. King Zhao put his arm around Liu Mei's waist and, under the protection of his guards, fled to a nearby yard.

Only a few of the twenty or so dancers knew some martial arts, and they were completely unable to resist the prince's highly skilled guards.

In just a few moments, most of the dancers were killed or injured.

Seeing that the prince was about to escape, the last few dancers formed a circle shoulder to shoulder. The dancers moved lightly and quickly in the direction where the prince was going to escape.

Seeing this, the guards originally wanted to leave a few people alive for interrogation, but the safety of the prince was more important at the moment. If the prince was injured in any way, they would not be able to survive!

The guards no longer held back and raised their swords to slash at the circle of dancers.

The steel knife flashed with a cold light and blood splattered with every swing.

Although the dancers moved very quickly and were close to the prince in a blink of an eye, the guards' knives were even faster, and almost all of the dancers in the circle were killed.

Before the guards could breathe a sigh of relief, a red figure leaped up from the center of the circle of dying dancers, and the moment she stood up, she swung the dagger in her hand towards the prince who was not far in front of her.

No one expected that this group of dancers would actually protect the last dancer with their lives, just for the assassination at the last moment.

The dagger pierced the air and instantly appeared in front of the prince.

Nan Huaishuo had already made a judgment the moment the dancer in red jumped out. With his martial arts skills, it would be easy for him to dodge the dagger.

But this is an extremely rare opportunity. As long as he saves the prince, he will definitely dispel the prince's suspicion.

If the prince died today, I'm afraid the queen would never trust him again.

The moment the dagger flew out, Nan Huaishuo quickly flashed in front of the prince, adjusted his posture, and used his right shoulder to meet the dagger, ensuring that he would be injured but not fatal.

Phew!

The sharp dagger instantly pierced into Nan Huaishuo's shoulder. The pain was heavier than expected. Nan Huaishuo groaned and fell to the ground.

Before pretending to faint, she looked at the prince weakly and sincerely, "Your Highness... run..."

The prince was frightened half to death by the sudden dagger, but when he saw that Nan Huaishuo actually risked his life to save him, most of his doubts about him disappeared.

The dancer in red obviously didn't expect that at the last critical moment, someone would block the knife for the prince.

Unfortunately, she only has this one chance, an opportunity that was bought at the cost of the lives of countless sisters who share the same fate. She is unwilling to give up!

"Prince Dog, return my sister's life to me!"

Just as she finished her words, more than a dozen guards swung their blades at her delicate body, and the blood instantly dyed her dance dress red again.

She stared at the prince with her eyes wide open, and died with her eyes open.

"Your Highness, all the assassins have been killed."

The prince was frightened to such an extent that he became ill, with severe pain in his chest and dizziness, and he was holding on to his last breath of strength.

"Go... draw them into pieces and break their bones!"

"Yes!"

A bunch of untouchables actually wanted to kill him!

"Go call the imperial physician!"

The leader of the guards led his guards to clean up the remaining corpses while giving instructions to the servants.

Nan Huaishuo heard the noise around him and thought that all the assassins had been eliminated and he could get up. Just as he was about to move, another sound of breaking air was heard not far away. Nan Huaishuo's heart moved and he lay down quietly and continued to pretend to be unconscious.

His life was only enough to block this blow, and if it was more, he would be powerless...

Behind the two guards who were helping the prince leave, several old women who were cleaning up the mess suddenly jumped up when the prince approached.

"Prince Dog, return my daughter's life to me!"

Kitchen knives, boning knives, and even paring knives were thrown out without paying.

"There are still assassins! Protect the prince!"

The prince, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was frightened again by a group of knives flying in front of him and fainted.

Fortunately, there were only three old women who took action this time. After the guards blocked the rain of knives, they killed three people in an instant.

The guards hurriedly carried the unconscious prince and the unconscious Nan Huaishuo to two rooms to rest.

The imperial physician has not arrived yet, but fortunately there is always medicine for the prince's illness, and it is prepared every day just in case.

While the prince was still in a daze, a maid brought him some hot medicine and another maid gently helped him up.

These two were not the personal maids who usually served the prince, but the second-class maids who served at banquets in Jiale Hall.

"Your Highness, take your medicine."

One of the maids helped him up, and another held the medicine bowl to his lips.

The warm medicine exudes a strong bitter smell, and within this bitter smell, there is also a hint of a strange fragrance that cannot be ignored!

This is not the medicine he usually takes!

While he was in a daze, a strong desire to survive suddenly erupted. The moment the medicine touched his lips, the prince suddenly raised his hand and pushed away the medicine bowl.

The medicine bowl fell to the ground with a bang. The loud noise startled the guards at the door.

"Prince Dog, return my mother's life to me!"

The maid who was supporting the prince had no weapons on her, so she just used both hands to strangle the prince's neck, causing the prince to roll his eyes.

"There are still assassins! Protect the prince!"

……

Nan Huaishuo lay on the bed, listening quietly to another wave of assassins being eliminated next door, and he was in a very good mood.

It’s so worth coming here today!

He saved the prince's life and dispelled his and the queen's suspicion of himself, but the subsequent assassination must have scared the prince half to death.

I'm afraid the prince doesn't have much time left!

This is a godsend for Nan Huaishuo.

On the other side, all the servants and maids in a guest garden were driven out by King Zhao's men.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life!"

Liu Mei was placed on the bed by King Zhao. She thanked him tenderly with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

"How would you like to thank me?"

Liu Mei didn't answer. Her white and tender hands gently untied the belt around her waist, and her outer garment instantly loosened and slipped off her shoulders.

Seeing this, King Zhao's throat rolled over and he tore off his clothes with his big hands.

Like a tiger pouncing on its prey, it pounced on Liu Mei...

When the prince woke up again, it was already night.

When the queen heard the news that the prince had been assassinated, she rushed to the East Palace in a hurry and stayed with the prince.

After waking up from his injury, Nan Huaishuo did not leave, but stayed with the queen while waiting for the prince to wake up.

"Thank you, Huaishuo, for blocking the sword for the prince this time. Otherwise, the prince would be afraid..."

The queen couldn't help but have tears in her eyes and she took a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes.

"Your Highness and the Queen Mother have been so kind to me. If it weren't for them, I would have died in the harem more than ten years ago. What I have done now is not enough to repay even a fraction of their kindness. Even if I were to die in place of the Crown Prince, I would be willing to do so!"

The queen was moved by Nan Huaishuo's words, and couldn't help but wonder whether the prince's previous suspicion of him was wrong.

"Ahem...Mother?"

"My son! You finally woke up!"

The prince's pale and skinny face had a pair of dead fish eyes that were staring red.

"Who?! Who wants to kill me?"
