C333 Assassination
C333 Assassination
The empress dowager nodded slightly. "Let them in!"
A short while later, a group of people dressed differently from the people from the Central Plains entered. Among them, there was a woman dressed in luxurious clothing. She had a gorgeous appearance and her eyes were like water.
The empress dowager amiably said to her, "Good child, you've come from afar, thank you for your hard work! "Come over here and let This Dowager have a look."
Princess Lixiu shot a glance at Shen Muqing without revealing anything, then lightly stepped forward to the empress dowager. When the distance between them was less than two feet, the empress dowager's face was still filled with a kind smile as she extended a hand towards Princess Lixiu's arm.
At this moment, Princess Lixiu waved her hand. An incomparably sharp dagger that flickered with light appeared in her hand and suddenly stabbed towards the empress dowager's throat. An incomparably cold aura blossomed from her body!
This unforeseen event happened too quickly. No one had time to react. Princess Lixiu's dagger flashed with a blue light as it stabbed forward. To be able to shine such a bright light under the sunlight, it must have been highly toxic!
Who would have thought that a country as weak as the State of Chu Yun would dare to assassinate the empress dowager so brazenly?! This was the crime of extermination!
More importantly, the dagger was simply too close to the empress dowager. Even Shen Muqing's position wouldn't be able to save her from that.
However, no one noticed that Shen Muqing had a cold smile on his face. At that critical moment, a ray of sword light pierced through the empress dowager's body and accurately blocked the dagger.
"Clang!" A crisp sound rang out and the dagger was actually blocked!
Murong Shu had long since left with the empress dowager in her arms. Princess Lixiu was alarmed as she retreated, but her sword light followed her like a shadow.
The owner of this sword light was Murong Xian. After all, Murong Xian was a master of Xiantian second stage and her swordsmanship had reached the acme of perfection. It seemed like she had already suppressed Princess Lixiu.
Shen Muqing had brought her into the palace this time to accompany Murong Shu. Actually, there must be another reason. It was to protect the empress dowager and prevent Princess Lixiu from assassinating her.
The palace maid who had recovered from the shock screamed, "Someone come! Protect them!"
"Someone come!" There's an assassin! "
At this time, the palace maids had already reacted, but this time's Flower Lover Assembly was prepared for Shen Muqing. Most of the guests were women, so in order to avoid suspicion, they didn't ask for the Imperial Guards from the harem to come over.
Those emissaries who had followed Princess Lixiu over were also confused. They didn't know why, but only Wu Wan was actually carrying his body and fleeing out of the palace.
Shen Muqing, who was behind him, shouted, "Where are you going to run to?"
With a turn of his body, the long sword in his hand released a gentle sword light. However, with a gentle look, it was filled with killing intent as it directly sealed his location.
With a bang, a long blade appeared out of nowhere in his hand and he slashed it towards Zhong Ling. The ratio of his strength was even higher than Zhong Ling's. The cold glint of the blade exuded an ice-cold killing intent.
However, Zhong Ling's sword technique was excellent in defense. After all, according to the state of Taiji Sword Technique, her defense was extremely strong, giving him no chance at all.
At this moment, Shen Muqing smiled at the empress dowager. "Empress Dowager, don't panic. With your grandson here, we definitely can't let anyone hurt you!"
