C17 Life-taking Assassination

She narrowed her eyes and wanted to lift the curtain of the carriage, but a sharp sword stabbed in and was only half an inch away from her chest.

Following a loud sound, the four walls of the carriage instantly shattered into countless pieces and resounded through the night sky. Su Mann stood up and looked at the two groups of black clothed people who were fighting beside her.

That's right, the two groups. Because apart from the side that wanted her life, the other few people were clearly protecting her. However, she did not know when there were such powerful experts by her side.

The driver had long fallen into a pool of blood and blood flowed all over the ground.

Su Mann couldn't help but feel her stomach churn, covering her mouth and retching.

Her ears were filled with the wails of death, and the sound of sharp blades clashing against each other could be heard.

Assassination midway.

The moonlight was very bright and those sharp sword tips were suffused with a faint cold light, piercing to the eye until it hurt. Su Mann used a handkerchief to cover her lips and her brocade robe fluttered in the wind. It was actually so calm that her eyes did not even lift up.

During this period of time, a black clothed person saw her graceful bearing and raised his sword to attack her face. The killing intent forced Su Mann to close her eyes and after a "ding" sound, the person who raised the sword just now had already died.

This repeated and over again, the number of black clothed people who were entangled with each other gradually decreased. The remaining few people were surrounded in the formation and it was obvious that the person who protected her wanted to capture the other party alive. However, since both sides were top experts, it was not easy to determine the outcome of the battle. Even though the distance between the two parties was gradually increasing, it still did not save them a lot of effort.

"Protect the Lord and leave."

Su Mann was taken away by the two of them. She did not know what the result was, but the sound of fighting behind her was sharp and piercing. Even though they were far away from that place, the smell of blood became thicker and thicker.

"Can you put me down now?" A weak candlelight gradually appeared in front of their eyes. Upon closer inspection, they had already arrived at the entrance of the Prime Minister Mansion.

The two men in black looked at each other and nodded at the same time to put them down. They respectfully said, "My lord, I apologize for offending you."

Su Mann saw the courtesy in their hearts and understood. Qing Qing said coldly, "Go back and thank your master. This Su is safe and sound."

She flicked her sleeves and entered the mansion. The drunkenness had faded by more than half but the tension made her extremely tired. Qixuan surprisingly blocked the door with his hands supporting his cheek. His eyes were half closed and he was dozing off.

Su Mann quickly walked forward and woke him up, "Xuan, Xuan, wake up."

Qixuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and saw Su Mann's white clothes fluttering. He smiled sweetly, "Big brother, you are back. I have fallen asleep."

Su Mann touched his head and looked at the sky. "Why didn't Xuan go and rest? If he caught a cold, how could he have a good life?" After saying that, Su Mann looked coldly at the butler beside her.

"Lord, please forgive me. This old servant was unable to persuade young master. It must be because I was thinking about lord and was unwilling to go back and rest."

Qixuan's eyes were red. "Brother, don't be angry. Xuan didn't do it on purpose."

"Alright, then why do you want to find brother so late at night?"

Qixuan's expression changed and he smiled again. He held Su Mann's hand and was about to enter the house. Su Mann pushed the housekeeper away and covered Qixuan with her cloak.

"I was playing in my brother's study today and found something very fun. Do you want to know what it is?"

Qixuan's eyebrows curved and he was actually very happy. Su Mann was not interested and seemed to be absent-minded. "Then tell me what it is that is fun."

Qixuan looked around as if he was worried. He then moved closer to Su Mann's ear and said, "There are many paintings in the study and gold, silver, and jewelry."

Su Mann frowned. The study was all arranged by her. There were a few paintings that were made during leisure time, but gold, silver, and jewelry were purely nonsense.

"Xuan, are you not sleeping tonight because you want to play with big brother?"

Qixuan immediately became anxious. He stomped his feet and said, "Xuan didn't lie to big brother. There are really a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry."

"Alright, Xuan, brother is tired. Can you stop messing around?"

"Big brother doesn't believe me. Come and take a look with Xuan. Xuan didn't lie to big brother."

Su Mann poured a cup of tea and sat on the chair. She looked at Qixuan who was anxious and said, "I know you better than you in the study. Don't try to make fun of me."

Qixuan heard her and started to cry loudly. The loud cry was very clear in the night. Su Mann held her forehead. She had no choice but to agree to follow him to the study tomorrow. Only then would Qixuan be willing to go back to his room to rest.

It was already dawn when he woke up. Qixuan unexpectedly woke up early. He pulled Su Mann's sleeve and wanted to go to the study. He originally wanted to give him a perfunctory answer, but now it seemed that it was impossible.

Qixuan closed the door of the study and walked quickly to the corner. He moved the bookshelf away and there was an ink painting hanging inside. Su Mann did not remember this either.

Qixuan raised his hand and pushed the painting aside. Then he gently knocked on the wall. The sound made Su Mann's body tremble. Was it empty?

She did not know that there was a universe inside the study wall.

"Brother, look, there is actually a room in the study."

The secret of the study.

Su Mann widened her eyes and looked at the sparkling gold, silver, and jewelry in disbelief. It was actually filled with a small secret chamber, and there were countless portraits hanging on the surrounding walls. Although the people in the portraits were in various forms, they were undoubtedly the same person. Furthermore, they were extremely beautiful women.

She admitted that her appearance was not ordinary, and the woman in the painting was so beautiful that no one could move their eyes away from her. Her beauty could not be described with words. This kind of extreme beauty overlapped with the face in her memories, causing her heart to skip a beat.

"The older sister above is so beautiful." Qixuan's words made her come back to her senses.

Qixuan pointed to one of the portraits and continued, "But she looks like a mother."

Su Mann's hands and feet felt cold and her heart was filled with doubt.

That was not a resemblance. It was clearly the appearance of her mother when she was young. Her beauty was inherited from her mother, which was why she was called the number one beauty in the world. However, few people knew that her mother was worthy of being called the number one beauty in the world.

"Xuan, besides brother, who else did you bring here?"

"No more."

Su Mann heaved a sigh of relief. She held Qixuan's shoulders and said seriously, "Xuan, remember not to tell anyone except you and your brother. Do you understand?"

Qixuan did not understand. He asked again, "Brother Yuan Jin can't do it either?"

"Yes, remember no one."

She needed time to find out all of this. Why would there be a portrait of her mother in the secret chamber in Prime Minister Mansion, and where did she get these gold, silver, and jewelry?

Su Mann pulled Qixuan and just as she opened the door, she was shocked by the people outside.

Jun Moran's face was as calm as water, as still like a mountain. When the sun shone on his body, the golden light was dazzling.

"Beloved, why are you so surprised to see Zhen and actually forgot to pay your respects? ”

"This official greets the Emperor. I did not know that the Emperor had graced us with his presence and did not welcome you from afar. I hope that the Emperor can forgive me."

Qixuan was also pulled to his knees but he raised his head to look at Jun Moran. He was huffing and puffing and was not happy.

Su Mann's heart was somewhat pounding. She did not know how long he had stood outside the door and what he said earlier was not heard but she was secretly glad that he did not rush into the study directly.

"Zhen heard that your beloved was assassinated last night and was shocked. He specially came to visit but your expression seems to be not bad. It seems that you are used to this. Zhen's worry is unnecessary."

"Many thanks to the Emperor for hanging up. This official is fine." Looks like her guess was right. The person who saved her last night was indeed sent by Jun Moran. This also proved that her every move was under his control.

"Beloved, do you not wish to invite Zhen to come in and have a seat?"

"The Emperor invites."

Qixuan was taken away by the butler while Su Mann followed behind Jun Moran into the study.

The moment the door closed, Jun Moran pressed her down on the door. His eyes were cold as he sneered, "You are really capable. To be able to provoke these experts here, you have harmed quite a number of Zhen's hidden guards."

Su Mann felt a pain in her chest from being pressed by him and reached out to push him.

"I did not expect that my life would attract so many people's attention. I am afraid that one day, I will accidentally be taken away."

Jun Moran reached out to grab her chin and slowly lifted her face. "Who would dare? Your life is in Zhen's hands. If Zhen doesn't agree, don't even think about dying to your heart's content."

Su Mann raised her eyes and glanced at him before closing them again. His face was gloomy and it was very terrifying when he became angry.

"The person from last night clearly came prepared and his martial arts is indeed not bad. Since the Emperor's hidden guards were able to deal with it with so much difficulty, I am afraid that there are not many people who can do it today."

His face eased up and his hand did not loosen as he said, "Beloved minister is not stupid. I think you know who it is."

"If it was not for the Emperor's acquiescence, how could he make a move here. This move to lure the snake out of the hole is really ingenious. That person's scheming is not half as good as the Emperor's. No wonder he can only be the King."

Jun Moran suddenly let go of her and sat back on the chair. His expression turned languid as he said faintly, "Zhen does not like women who are too smart but you are so smart that Zhen looks at you in a new light."

After losing his support, Su Mann's body swayed and she said miserably, "In terms of intelligence and disguise, Su Mann is not as smart as you. Otherwise, how could she have lost to you back then. Perhaps even the former Emperor did not know that his son, who he had always thought was weak, was actually good at strategizing. Attacking and scheming. "

"Royal Father probably doesn't know that the subject he has always favored and trusted is actually the princess of the previous dynasty, and that the person who wants to overthrow his country is the same. In terms of disguising himself, you and I are equally matched." He actually used me to call himself, Su Mann was quite surprised.

She did not have the intention to talk about old matters with him and changed the topic. She sighed, "The Emperor did not only look for this official to visit, right?"

Jun Moran smiled, "Zhen already said that he does not like women who are too smart."

"King Duan gave himself away and this official's chess piece seems to be of use. If that King Duan knows of this official's identity, I do not know if that King Duan will not hesitate and die with everlasting regret."

"You are really not afraid of death."

"Giving up your life for the country is much better than giving up your position as a treacherous official. It is just that this official is curious why the Emperor placed such a huge bet. Could it be that he is not worried that King Duan will not fall for it and instead work with this official from the inside?"

His sword-like brows raised and he suddenly pulled Su Mann into his embrace and kissed her lips. "Do you know how to?"

Su Mann closed her eyes. Yes, he bet that she would not. He did not dare, so he let her be the bait. It did not matter even if she died to lure the snake out of the hole. One stone for two birds. There was no need to rebel. He could also take the opportunity to get rid of the trouble, no matter what the result was. In the end, it would be the biggest winner.

"Zhen once told you to forget your past identity and be the Prime Minister of Great Yan peacefully. As for those unimportant people, they will naturally be safe and sound."

Su Mann really wanted to laugh loudly, but she was forcefully kissed by him. Her lips and tongue intertwined, her waist seemed to be about to be broken, and the air in her chest was also completely sucked away. His overbearing arrogance always forced her to gasp for breath.

He wanted to push him away, but he slid his fingers along his hair and deepened this kiss. It was like the most gentle and sweet confession in the world of love, but Su Mann knew that it was merely a method to punish herself.

"Prime Minister's taste is indeed much better than those women in Zhen's harem." He was in a good mood and clicked his tongue.

Su Mann thought of the matter of falling into the water that day and could not help but get angry in her heart, "That group of common folk in your harem, eating their fill all day long and thinking about how to fight for favours and love. They wish that they could become a tree bear hanging on your body and even put on an act. They were delicate and delicate, seemingly weak and unable to withstand the wind, but each and every one of their tricks was more powerful than the last. I disdain to be compared with these women. Wouldn't this be a disgrace to my reputation as the number one beauty in the world? " After saying it all in one breath, she was shocked. Then, her face turned red, and she didn't dare look at the person in front of her.
