C4 Escape from the Palace

"What are you doing?" Le Ran was frightened, but she subconsciously lowered her voice and did not shout, allowing the officials to confirm that there was something wrong with the pot of wine. She reached out to grab it, carefully covering her face with one hand and squinted her eyes, "Let me leave, I will return this wine to you."

She lowered her voice to hide her face, glad that she couldn't see anyone. She could only throw herself at them and stretch out her hand to snatch them away.

The two of them fought over the wine, and when she accidentally took a big gulp of wine, she choked on the wine, making her throw herself on the ground and cough.

Suddenly, there was a clamor not far away, Le Ran could not be bothered with it, he picked up the jug and ran, he could not be bothered with the official.

This was a bewitching medicine Imperial Concubine Le prepared to give to the Emperor. If he was discovered, he would be beheaded. The two of them did not dare to let their guard down.

When the officer saw the two of them running away, and heard the sound of battle, he immediately got up in panic, wanting to look for Hua Zhang Yuan.

She hadn't even run two steps when a gust of wind pierced her ears. In the next moment, she was overwhelmed by a manly aura and almost vomited from that mouthful of wine.

"Cough, cough …"

She tilted her face and coughed, shoving at the man. "Get up."

The man groaned. He stood up as if he was hoping. However, he couldn't be bothered to look at the woman on the ground. He shot a sharp glance at the assassin that was chasing him and coldly said, "Those who don't want to die, hurry up and f * ck off."

With that, he raised his eyebrows and flew over.

When the emperor heard that voice, he froze. It was clearly the voice of the emperor, and that figure of his, Ji Jing. She had wanted to bump into him many times but hadn't been able to do so.

Soon after, before she could even react, over ten masked men in black had followed Ji Jing's footsteps and chased after him. The domineering swords and crossbows struck fear into the hearts of the imperial bodyguards.

Fleeing to catch up with the Emperor was assassinated, Yan Guan Ran secretly lamented that this luck was also no one.

"Ran …"

Just as she was at a loss and didn't know what to do, Hua Zhang Yuan appeared out of nowhere and shielded her. He said in a low voice, "Take advantage of the chaos in the palace, I'll send you out."

The official did not hesitate, he trusted Hua Zhang Yuan a lot, "I'll listen to you."

With Hua Zhang Yuan's help, they took advantage of the chaos to escape. Fortunately, the assassin's target was the emperor, and they managed to avoid swords, blades, and crossbows all the way to the outside of the palace.

"Ran, this is for you." Hua Zhang Yuan sent his men to a hill not far away from the palace before he stopped.

The officer took the note and opened it.

"This is my address. Now that there's trouble in the palace, I must hurry back." Hua Zhang Yuan had given the Carnage Officer his address on the slip of paper, repeatedly warning her to find him once she left, "After the limelight has passed, you will come and find me."

"I know. Thank you."

Time was of the essence, Hua Zhenyuan did not have the time to tell her more, and only after they had disappeared down the hill did he lift his saber and fiercely cut his arm, causing blood to spill out. Only then did he leap back into the palace to fulfill his duty.

He had been running for only a few minutes when he felt his whole body turn hot. This kind of weather was definitely abnormal. She just thought she was sweating too much.

The hillside was quiet. She heard the sound of water and went over. As expected, she saw a pool of water. It was jade-green with a hint of coldness.

After confirming that there was no one around, she took off her clothes and jumped into the pool to take a bath. The instant the cold water touched her skin, she let out a sigh of relief, finally suppressing the heat in her body.

The forest was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. It was a rare moment of peace and quiet, yet at the entrance of the forest, a battle was taking place.

"Your Majesty, you leave first." The dutiful guards stood behind Ji Jing, facing the menacing assassins. Even though they were outnumbered and outnumbered, they didn't show any fear and wholeheartedly protected the emperor behind them.

"Be careful!"

Ji Jing's gaze turned sharp as he deflected an arrow. Deep imprints could be seen on the surface of his black robe, indicating that he was wounded and bleeding profusely.

There were less than ten guards left, each one more tragic than the last, but each of them had an iron-blooded look on their faces.

"Your majesty, the terrain of the forest is complex and complicated, making it easier to conceal ourselves. Before the reinforcements arrive, we'll delay the assassins. You can go first."

One of the guards, a seemingly leader, was still very calm. While blocking the continuous attacks, he advised Ji Jing.

The man's gaze sharpened as he scanned the depths of the forest. Before the assassin's fiercest attack reached him, he leapt into the forest and disappeared without a trace.

The assassin looked at him and said, "The dog-emperor has run away. Chase after him."

As soon as the order was given, dozens of people flocked over. The guards tried their best to stop them. Even if blood flowed like a river, they had to give the emperor some time to escape.
