The nine princesses of the East Palace

"Don't be afraid, it's fine." Li Chengyin comforted me softly after kicking down the front assassin.

How could I not be afraid, I was terribly afraid, but I didn't care much, I couldn't hide behind him like a turtle, so I picked up a knife from the ground and stabbed randomly at one of the people who rushed over .

"Girls rush! Fight with this group of people!" Aunt Wang suddenly yelled, and the girls in the workshop immediately came to their senses, picked up stools and chairs from the front building, and threw them around.After such a commotion, the emperor in the back building was also alarmed. He brought people, and the Shenwu army under his hands rushed out, surrounded the entire backyard, and fought clangingly. The backyard was a mess. He and Li Chengyin finally got out of trouble.

But suddenly there was a scream from the back upstairs, and then the emperor called sister Mingyue's name.

Li Chengyin dragged me to run upstairs, corpses were strewn all over the corridor, the smell of blood permeated the whole building.

"Father! Father!" Li Chengyin yelled while climbing the stairs, his steps were fast and disorganized, and I couldn't keep up.

When I followed upstairs, I saw sister Mingyue lying in a pool of blood, and the emperor was hugging her, with a face full of self-blame.

Li Chengyin was fighting with an assassin.

The curtains in the room were torn in a mess, and there were several black-clothed assassin corpses lying on the ground.

The assassin who was fighting with Li Chengyin was strong in martial arts, his face was covered, but his eyes were as sharp as knives. I wanted to help Li Chengyin, but I couldn't do it, so I had to go forward to help Sister Mingyue who was seriously injured.

The emperor glanced at me, patted my shoulder, handed sister Mingyue to me with confidence, then picked up a sword from the ground, and fought with the assassin together with Li Chengyin.

Only then did I know that the emperor's kung fu was also good, and their father and son teamed up, and the assassin was finally defeated.I stared at them without blinking, for fear that the assassin would use some tricks.

Sure enough, the assassin's fingertips suddenly flashed golden light, and two iron nails drove straight towards Li Chengyin's back.I was terrified, I didn't even think about it too much, I rushed towards Li Chengyin.

I am afraid of pain, I am really afraid of pain, I am afraid that those two iron nails will really be nailed to my body, but I also don't want to see Li Chengyin being nailed, maybe there is poison on it...

I didn't feel the tingling pain of the iron nails piercing into the flesh, because after pushing Li Cheng Yin away, I myself slipped and fell, lying on the ground like a soft-footed crab, unable to get up.

At this time, a group of martial arts soldiers flashed in from outside, and surrounded the assassin tightly.

"The late general escort came late, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." All of a sudden, there was a large crowd of people kneeling in the room.

The emperor said: "Be sure to capture the assassin alive." The emperor's voice was deep, as if suppressing the overwhelming anger.

After the assassin heard this, he burst out laughing, and told him to break out of the window easily, and the Shenwu army chased him out.

I was picked up from the ground by Li Chengyin, he pursed his lips, his face was surprisingly dark, he grabbed my wrist tightly, I felt like my wrist was going to be crushed by him.

"Li Chengyin, you...you scratched me." I shouted.

Li Chengyin just sneered: "I thought you wouldn't be afraid of pain, I told you to stay by the side and you just stay by the side! What can you do by running out? Do you think you are made of iron? You have three lives Or nine lives? Do you think assassins will show mercy when they see you as a woman? Which woman hides well when an assassin is about to kill someone, but you lean forward, thinking that she didn’t die fast enough? Do you know, you If I hadn't fallen like this just now, I'm afraid I would have become a ghost now..."

I was literally speechless.

"Yin'er! You are too radical." The emperor looked at us, "Those who achieve great things should be fearless in the face of danger, and not be entangled by anyone or anything."

Li Chengyin's expression was slightly relaxed, and he said slowly: "Father has taught you well."

The emperor said: "I know you must be unconvinced at this moment, but you are the prince, and you are walking a road paved with blood. If you are not careful, you will become a drop of blood on this road, and you will be trampled on by others." .”

After Li Chengyin heard this, he suddenly laughed: "Father is naturally rational anytime and anywhere, so that the son's mother and concubine have become a drop of blood on the road that the father must pass, but I don't know that after so many years, the father Has the emperor ever regretted it?"

What he said was really a bit outrageous, I winked at him desperately, but he didn't notice it, and he continued to talk to himself, he is so weird today, what he said is like holding a knife, screaming No one can answer.

The emperor's expression was indeed a little ugly, he waved his hand, and the Shenwu army went down, and the injured sister Mingyue was also taken down together.I was about to retreat, but Li Chengyin grabbed me and forced me to stay, I really don't want to listen to their father and son's conversation, if I know too much, will my life be lost?

The room suddenly became quiet, and the sound of fighting outside disappeared, and it was unknown whether the assassin had been captured or escaped.

"Yin'er..." the emperor finally said, "Your mother and concubine passed away unfortunately, and I was also very sad. Over the years, I have never forgotten her."

Li Chengyin didn't make a sound, probably because he finally calmed down a bit.

The emperor said again: "I don't care about today's matter because you lost your mother since you were young, but you are not young anymore, you should know what to say and what not to say."

Before Li Chengyin could speak, I grabbed him and winked at him desperately. He glanced at me, hesitated to speak, and finally said respectfully: "I thank you, Father, for your magnanimity."

"Take Xiaofeng back." The emperor sighed and waved his hands.

"Yes." Li Chengyin said.

I was dragged outside by him and still felt lingering fear.

The Shenwu army moved quickly, the corridors had been cleaned up, and even the smell of blood was covered up, so that people couldn't see the slightest clue.

Our horses are still tied in the stables in the backyard, and Xiaosheng, who had previously led the horses for us, led us to the backyard.

That Xiaosheng was very attentive before, but now he dare not show his air.Not only him, even I dare not speak out, Li Chengyin is too scary when his face is cold.

On the way back, Li Chengyin didn't talk to me much, as soon as he got back to the East Palace, he went into the study and called Pei Zhao to go in.

They were talking inside, and I couldn't go up to disturb them, so I went back to Cheng'en Hall to take a bath and changed into a clean set of clothes, then hugged a heater and sat on the swing outside to wait.Yong Niang wrapped me in a rabbit fur cloak, and stood silently by the side to accompany me.

Li Chengyin and Pei Zhao didn't know what they were talking about, and after half an hour, Pei Zhao came out with a serious face.

"General Pei, General Pei!" When I saw Pei Zhao, I got up and walked over.

"Crown Princess." Pei Zhao bowed his hands to me.

"Li Chengyin...how is he? Has the wound been treated?" I asked.

Pei Zhao didn't mention Li Chengyin's injury, but said: "Your Highness is waiting for the Crown Princess inside."

After hearing this, I quickly lifted my foot and walked inside.
