Chapter 319 Failed Assassination
Chapter 319 The assassination failed
"It's finally done." Xiao Li said excitedly just as Qin Jian was about to fall asleep.
"Crown Princess, it's getting late, it's time for you to go back to your room to sleep. If the prince knows that you haven't had a rest so late, you will definitely be angry." Qin Jian kindly reminded Xiao Li.
"What are you worried about? He doesn't care about me. He only cares about my belly." Xiao Li touched his belly and said in anger.
"You and the prince are very concerned about your belly." Qin Jian said sweetly. "I heard from other servants that the great master was in a good mood when he came back from the palace today. Maybe he would go to your place later. The princess should go back early."
"I don't care whether he comes or not?" Xiao Li said nothing, but the man had already stood up and walked out of the pharmacy.
When Xiao Li was about to return to the room, he suddenly saw a figure flashing when he passed by the garden. The cautious Xiao Li immediately stopped and asked Qin Jian, "Qin Jian, did you see someone flashing through there just now?"
"I didn't see it." Qin Jian looked carefully in the direction of Xiao Li's finger for a while, "There is no one there. Is it because you are staying in the pharmacy for too long today and you are a little tired and you will misread it?"
"Is that?" Xiao Li was sure that she had just seen a figure. Although Huangfu Haotian asked Qingfeng to protect Xiao Li, after returning to the prince's mansion, Xiao Li sent Qingfeng away and let Qingfeng return to Huangfu Haotian. Moreover, with Qingfeng's skill, even if Xiao Li secretly protected Xiao Li, she would definitely not be discovered by Xiao Li, so Xiao Li must be that person not Qingfeng.
"Oh no, let's go to the West Chamber room." Xiao Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration and ran towards the place where Shen Xinghui lived.
"Miss, wait for me." Qin Jian, who didn't know what was going on, immediately followed.
Xiao Li had just arrived at the villa where Shen Xinghui lived, and saw Shen Xinghui running out of the house with one hand covering his injured arm, while the other injured hand was still holding a sword.
Seeing Lieyun chasing him out and trying to stab Shen Xinghui with a knife, Xiao Li glanced at the branches in the flower bed next to him, and immediately picked up the sword that blocked Lieyun's sword and supported Shen Xinghui to stand in a safe place.
"Qin Jian, take care of Mr. Shen." After Xiao Li handed Shen Xinghui to Qin Jian, he took away the sword from Shen Xinghui's hand and fought against Lie Yun.
"Crown Princess, be careful." Seeing Xiao Li and the killer fighting, Qin Jian's heart raised to his throat. While reminding Xiao Li to be careful, he shouted loudly: "Come here, come here, come here, there are assassins, come here to catch the assassins."
After a few fights, Xiao Li was slowly at a disadvantage. If it were the past, Xiao Li's skills and physical strength could definitely compete with Lie Yun. But now Xiao Li is pregnant and is not convenient to have a weight, Xiao Li also has to take into account the fetus in her womb and cannot let the child have trouble. Under various unfavorable conditions, it is not easy for Xiao Li to last for so long.
Although Lieyun is a killer, the rules of the Bailian Sect never kill the elderly, weak, women and children. Seeing that Xiao Li is a woman and is pregnant, he did not quickly kill him, leaving room for Xiao Li with every move.
Especially when he saw Xiao Li's physical strength was exhausted, Lieyun gave up the competition with Xiao Li and rushed towards Shen Xinghui.
At this critical moment, Xiao Li knew that she would not get any benefits if she continued to fight like this. Maybe she and Shen Xinghui would be threatened. Xiao Li suddenly thought of a poison he had just invented in the pharmacy. Although she had not tried it, Xiao Li could not hesitate at this time. Xiao Li took out three poison needles from her cuffs and shot it immediately while Lie Yun was going to catch Shen Xinghui, and it happened to hit Lie Yun's back and shoulders.
Lieyun didn't expect that he would be attacked by Xiao Li, and his arms numb. Lieyun was stunned for a moment. At this moment, the patrolling guards of the Prince's Mansion also rushed over and protected Qin Jian and Shen Xinghui.
Lieyun knew that he could no longer kill Shen Xinghui at this time. He turned around and the sword edge pressed against Xiao Li's neck. The speed was so fast that even Xiao Li didn't react.
"Let her go." Huangfu Haotian, who rushed over, said anxiously and angrily when he saw Xiao Li being held hostage.
"Let me leave." The mission failed, and now Lieyun only hopes that he can leave here safely.
"You can't run away. The three needles have been applied to them just now, and the poison is prepared by myself. As long as I know how to detoxify the poison." Xiao Li became calmer instead after being treated as a hostage.
"Stop talking nonsense, do you think I will believe it easily?" Lie Yun felt a little impatient.
"If you don't believe it, you can run the true energy in your body slightly to see if your arms feel a little numb." Xiao Li said.
Lie Yun tried it suspiciously, and indeed felt a numbness on his arms. Then he believed Xiao Li, but the sword that pressed against Xiao Li's neck was closer.
"If you dare to hurt her, I will definitely make you regret living in this world." Seeing that blood beads oozing out of Xiao Li's neck, Huangfu Haotian felt very distressed. It was the first time he felt scared, afraid that he would lose Xiao Li, and threatened Lieyun loudly.
At this time, Lieyun was surrounded and it was not easy to escape. Moreover, the murder plan failed and he was poisoned again. Even if he could leave here safely, he might not let him go back to the organization. It would be better to take Xiao Li back, which can detoxify him, and the second is to catch the crown princess and atone for his sins.
"Prepare a horse for me and let me leave here." Lieyun had a plan in his mind and proposed conditions to Huangfu Haotian.
At this time, Huangfu Haotian cared about Xiao Li's safety, so Huangfu Haotian agreed without hesitation to Lieyun's request.
Lieyun took Xiao Li step by step toward the mansion and indeed saw a horse outside.
Huangfu Haotian also followed him to the outside of the mansion, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said to Lie Yun: "I have satisfied your request, please let go of my wife."
When Huangfu Haotian said the word "wife", Xiao Li's expression seemed a little surprised, and her calm expression slowly turned out to be a smile.
"Occursed." Lie Yun whispered in Xiao Li's ear, then picked up Xiao Li and jumped onto the horse's back, slapped the horse's butt hard, and the horse ran away immediately.
"Crown Prince, I will take people to recover the Crown Princess." Qingfeng, who had been following Huangfu Haotian, immediately said.
"No need." Huangfu Haotian thought for a moment and immediately stopped it. Seeing Qingfeng's puzzled expression, Huangfu Haotian kindly explained: "The killer is now poisoned and has become uneasy. The Crown Princess is pregnant now. If you chase him at this time, you don't know what the killer will do in panic. If he hurts the Crown Princess and the fetus in her belly, it will be bad. I believe the Crown Princess will definitely be safe."
Huangfu Haotian didn't know whether he was saying this to Qingfeng or was constantly comforting himself.
