Chapter 245: A blessing in disguise(1/2)

However, before Rong Jingqiu's voice had fallen, the palace maid smiled strangely at her, then a string of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she fell to the ground with a "bang", her eyes still wide open.

Hongshang immediately went over to find her breath, then shook her head at Rong Jingqiu with horror.

Dead.

Rong Jingqiu didn't expect what kind of great god she had committed? She sent a dead soldier to kill her.

"Let's go, let's leave here first and go back to the hall."

Only if there are many people there will be safe. Staying here is too dangerous. If a dead soldier can come to assassinate her, the second and third ones can come.

Hongshang immediately went to support Rong Jingqiu. Only then did she see clearly that there was blood flowing out of Rong Jingqiu's hands and thighs, and she immediately said in horror, "Girl..."

"Don't ask so much, wait until it's safe." Rong Jingqiu didn't want to explain. In order to be clear-headed, she could only make up her mind to hurt herself, "Get up the dagger and the dagger sword for me."

You cannot bring weapons when entering the palace, so the soft sword she carries with you must also be removed. Hongshang's weapon is colored silk, but it is not within the limit, so now you can only pick up what the opponent drops for the time being.

Hong Shang stopped asking and quickly picked up the short sword and dagger and handed it to Rong Jingqiu.

Rong Jingqiu didn't care about being injured in her hand, and she held these two weapons in her hand with a firm look. She would not be knocked down easily.

The master and servant had not yet walked out of the side hall, and the second round of the assassination of Rong Jingqiu had arrived. Several palace maids and eunuchs dressed in palaces appeared at the entrance of the side hall. It was obvious that the palace maid just now failed, so they arranged all the preparations.

This was a rhythm of fear that she would never die, and she immediately hated her teeth.

Because of blood loss, Rong Jingqiu's face was pale, and it became even whiter at this time. She looked at everything in front of her, thinking about a strategy to break the enemy. Only by leaving here can she talk about it later.

At this moment, the maid who stayed to take care of her was turning around with a basin. When she saw this scene, she was so scared that she fell to the ground and screamed, "There is an assassin--" and then turned around and ran away.

Seeing this, Rong Jingqiu looked at Hongshang and the two immediately seized the opportunity to rush out. Hongshang danced the colorful silk tightly to protect Rong Jingqiu from breaking through. After all, the other party separated and chased the maid who kept screaming "There was an assassin".

The weapon in Rong Jingqiu's hand was only the short sword picked up from the maid. The dagger was tied to her waist by her. Fortunately, the hand holding the hilt of the sword was injured. Flashes of pain hit her, and her mind became clearer and more agile.

Because there was a problem with the sobering soup she drank, she tried her best to avoid the opportunity of the other party stabbing her. Who knows if this weapon was poisoned?

While she quit, she also shouted, "There is an assassin-"

However, no matter how loud the sound was, it was not as loud as the sound of drinking and drinking at the banquet, so the people at the banquet could not hear the accident here at all. The maid of Jin Zhou, who had run far away, had been stabbed from the back to the chest by someone. She fell to the ground and died without even being able to make a scream.

Seeing this, Rong Jingqiu suddenly realized that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable. The direction to the hall had been blocked, so she had to choose another way to escape.

"Girl, don't worry about me, you go first." Hongshang resisted the attack desperately, trying to buy time for Rong Jingqiu to escape.

Rong Jingqiu glanced at Hong Shang who was stabbed. At this time, her eyes were red with hatred, but she couldn't help Hong Shang now, so she could only walk towards the Jiuqu Bridge and use the terrain to buy time for herself.

Fortunately, she was lucky. As soon as she stepped onto the Jiuqu Bridge, she saw a patrol guard passing by. She immediately shouted to the other party, "Help, there is an assassin--"

The leader of the team there seemed to hear a sound in this direction. When he turned around, Rong Jingqiu couldn't hide the surprise on his face, and raised his painful hands and waved forward.

Although the distance was a bit far, Zhong Qu recognized Rong Jingqiu at a glance. He immediately drew out his long sword and rushed over first, "Hurry up, catch the assassin."

A team of men also discovered that an assassination was happening there, and immediately pulled out their weapons and rushed over.

Rong Jingqiu saw that the other party's leader had already rushed towards her, but she still couldn't take it lightly, because she didn't know if this team of troops wearing the Imperial Guards really came to save her. She could only lead the people here so that the assassins here could panic.

When a person panics, he will make mistakes.

Sure enough, the assassins paused, and obviously they could not tell whether the people rushing over were their own people.

Then Rong Jingqiu grabbed Hongshang and said to her, "Jump into the river."

Below the Jiuqu Bridge is the moat flowing through the Eastern Palace. The hall where the female guests is entertaining is close to this river. Now it is early winter, and the river has not frozen yet, but it has flowed a little slower.

Hongshang looked at the current situation and understood Rong Jingqiu's intention. She nodded immediately and agreed to jump into the river to escape.

The two of them were about to jump into the moat with their hands in hand. Zhong Qu, who rushed over at the first time, immediately shouted, "Miss Rong——"

Rong Jingqiu's movements were immediately paused, and hurriedly grabbed Hong Shang, who was about to jump. She seemed to hear Zhong Qu's voice. When she looked up, Zhong Qu was rushing towards her.

"Crown Prince Zhong." She never felt so grateful for Zhong Qu's appearance.

But as the surprise came, there was a big knife she slashed from behind, Zhong Qu ran over for a while. Seeing this scene, his blood almost frozen. He roared with a burst of eyes, and then threw the long sword in his hand.

Rong Jingqiu also discovered the danger behind her now, but she was close to her. She could hardly avoid it. She could only open her eyes wide and watch the big knife get closer to her. Her brain was blank at this time, as if the cycle of fate was reincarnation.

"Girl--" Hongshang's eyes were bulging out, and she hurriedly changed positions with Rong Jingqiu and used her back to block the knife for Rong Jingqiu.

Rong Jingqiu could only stand passively at this time, unable to cooperate with Hongshang's movements, not to mention that she could not pull Hongshang as a cushion. She felt that her legs were as heavy as a fill of lead.

The scene seemed to be still, and it seemed to be extremely slow, but she knew that it was just something that happened in the flash.

With a "swish", several cold arrows penetrated the air and came towards this side. The strong man who raised his knife to chop Rong Jingqiu was immediately stabbed by a sharp arrow. The arrow's force was extremely powerful and had completely penetrated his chest. The silver-white arrow flashed with a silver-white cold light on his chest.

The long sword that Zhong Qu threw was already here, and the sword stabbed the opponent in the throat, and blood spurted out. Rong Jingqiu, who was closest to the point, was sprayed with blood on his face.

The bright red blood instantly restored her consciousness. She instantly saw the big knife in the strong man's hand falling to the ground, almost killing her life.

No matter how rough the nerves were, they could not withstand the subsequent assassination, and her body fell down softly.

Suddenly, a warm embrace caught her, avoiding her falling to the ground. She barely opened her eyes and looked at the person who was coming. The person with the light on her back had a handsome face. She carefully identified for a while before she recognized who the person was.

It turned out to be a bastard Zhao Yu, and she still had to settle the score with him. Everything she encountered today must have nothing to do with him, and she must have been implicated by him again.

She said she could not marry him, otherwise no matter how many lives she had, she would have been tormented.

But when she saw him, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief without having to hold on. As soon as she relaxed, she immediately fainted.

"Miss Rong?" Zhao Yu used his sleeve to wipe the blood from her face, and looked at her embarrassed look with eagerness and distress.

Zhong Qu stood aside and watched silently for a moment, then pulled his big knife back from the dead man and vented his ventingly assassin who dared to assassin the East Palace.

He also rushed to her side, but why was he still late? He could only watch another man hug her tightly, but he could not stretch out his hands to hug her. As his mood surged, his moves became more and more fierce.

Xiao Douzi did not join the battle, but instead gave his highness the bow and arrow behind him, and then went over to help the red dress, which was also covered in blood.

Hongshang's eyes were red, she pushed away the little Douzi who was supporting her and saluted Zhao Yu, "Your Highness, it's because the slaves are not protecting their master, which will make Miss Rong in danger..."

"Not now, you should bandage the wound first and then turn back to convict you." Zhao Yu said coldly, but he gently carried Rong Jingqiu and ordered Feng Debao who was following behind, "Go and find Doctor Xu."

Feng Debao immediately took the order and ran to bring the person. He didn't dare to do any extra small moves at this moment. His highness's ugly face just now was enough to show how much he cared about Rong Jingqiu. Everything was separated from his prediction.

Seeing that Zhao Yu was holding Rong Jingqiu and was about to leave, Hongshang hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Lu Xiu has not come back yet. The girl asked her to secretly follow Princess Dora. I wonder if there was an assassination there too?"

She and Luxiu are like sisters, so naturally they don’t want Greenxiu to be unexpected.

Zhao Yu looked at Xiao Douzi with a calm face, "Take someone over and look for it."

Xiao Douzi responded quickly, "Yes." Then he looked at Hongshang, "I'm going to find someone, you go bandage the wound first..."

"My injury is not in trouble, I'll go with you." Hongshang refused to bandage the wound first. She was worried about Green Sleeve at this time, so how could she sit still?

As for the master Rong Jingqiu, she would not be worried at all with the ninth prince now.

The movement here soon reached the ears of the prince Zhao Chu. He glanced at Rong Jingji while listening to Feng Shuangbao's whispering report.

Rong Jingji was in a state of tension, and suddenly caught Zhao Chu's gaze when he saw her was a little strange. She was shocked and asked carefully, "Your Highness, what happened?"

Zhao Chu didn't want to hide it from her, after all, it was her own sister who had the accident, "Your sister, Miss Rong San, was assassinated."

"What?" Rong Jingji suddenly jumped up and asked anxiously, "Is my third sister okay?"

Zhao Chu patted her shoulder lightly, "Don't be anxious first, there is no worries about life, go and take a look, you can rest first."

When Rong Jingji heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. Where could she rest? She was worried now. How could the assassin come from?

"Brother-in-law, I... want to go over and see my third sister. If I don't see it with my own eyes, I... will always be worried..."

At this time, her eyes were already filled with tears, and she looked a bit pitiful, which was very different from the previous piece of wood.

Zhao Chu looked at her. The sadness and worry were not like falsehood. The rejection that came to his mouth instantly turned into, "Then go."

"Thank you brother-in-law." Rong Jingji immediately bowed and thanked her.

Zhao Chu did not look at her again and immediately raised his foot and walked forward.

Rong Jingji followed behind in red, but his hands were clenched into fists. The assassination came too suddenly and too strange. Who could his third sister mess with the opportunity to assassinate at such a time and place? No matter how you think about it, it doesn’t make sense. After all, Rong Jingqiu is not even a serious princess now, what benefits can she get?

After all, there is a prince in the East Palace, and a group of princes at the banquet outside. Even the female relatives who are more heavy than Rong Jingqiu. The prince's legitimate sister, Princess Yu'an, is one, who is not more powerful than Rong Jingqiu, a princess?

But these people put these heavyweights and refused to kill them, but instead chose Rong Jingqiu. This is not only unreasonable, but also very strange.

"What are you thinking?" Zhao Chuyi turned around and saw that the concubine of Xinna looked thoughtful. Her expression on her face was much more vivid than when she was talking to him just now, which made her look very bright. So he asked.

Rong Jingji glanced at Zhao Chu and said the questions in his heart without hesitation.

Zhao Chu raised his eyebrows. The sixth girl of the Rong family was still very quick, but he would not answer this question, because he had already guessed who would kill Rong Jingqiu.

Rong Jingji did not ask questions either. The prince didn't want to tell her what he said, so she couldn't inquire casually. This was a taboo, so she could only check the possible candidates in her heart.

When they arrived, the wounds in Rong Jingqiu's palms and thighs had been treated. Zhao Yu sat on the edge of the bed and held her and the wounds that were bandaged into a brown. His slightly drooping eyes covered all his thoughts.

When Rong Jingji saw Rong Jingqiu lying on the bed, he immediately left the prince Zhao Chu and rushed over, "Three sister, how are you doing..."

When Zhao Yu heard the voice, he looked up at the girl in the bride costume, "She is asleep, don't wake her up, so that her wounds will hurt so much."

Rong Jingji looked at Zhao Yu and nodded, but asked in a low voice, "My third sister's injury is not serious, right?"

"The imperial physician has given medicine and has no worries about his life." Zhao Yu said.

"Ninth brother." Zhao Chu stepped forward and patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder.

"Fifth Brother." Zhao Yu called out, not getting up to greet him.

Zhao Chu didn't care. He knew that Zhao Yu was thinking about Rong Jingqiu now. Looking at the bandaged hands, he knew that he was injured. In any case, he had to give the official account an explanation, "I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give Miss Rong an explanation."
