Chapter 365 Shen Ruzhou was assassinated
She rolled on the ground several times before stopping. Just as she was about to turn around and sit up, raising her head, the driver, dressed in black, jumped out of the carriage, pulled out the long sword from his waist and stabbed her.
Shen Ruzhou hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it. Taking advantage of the moment when the coachman's sword penetrated the soil and pulled it out, she seized the time to get up and ran towards the woods.
Before she took two steps, a black shadow passed over her head and stood in front of her.The driver turned around with murderous intent on his face.
With just one kick, Shen Ruzhou was kicked several meters away.In the face of absolute strength, Shen Ruzhou felt unprecedented despair for the first time.
She endured the severe pain and forced herself to stand up, with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. Seeing the assassin getting closer and closer, Shen Ruzhou's hands tightly held the medicine bag on her waist, preparing to fight to the death.
The long sword flashed with cold light and came towards him. Before Shen Ruzhou could react, he saw a pretty figure flying towards him, and a silver-gray soft sword blocked the assassin's falling sharp blade.
It's Jianyu.
The secret guard assigned to her by the Regent.
While Jian Yu was fighting with the coachman, he shouted to Shen Ruzhou: "Run to the east, I will stop the assassin."
Shen Ruzhou knew that Jian Yu's martial arts was very strong. After nodding to her, he turned around to identify the direction and ran quickly along the east path.
After running for a quarter of an hour, a bamboo forest appeared in front of me. The forest was silent, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves. It was impossible to tell whether there was a road or where it led.
Shen Ruzhou hesitated for a moment, but finally walked in.
The shadows of the trees swayed in the wind, and a flock of birds flew away in the forest.Shen Ruzhou suddenly looked up and realized that a dozen black-clad assassins had jumped out in front of her and slowly surrounded her.Shen Ruzhou was completely panicked, and his heart immediately rose to his throat.
Looking around, she found a gap in the southeast. She gritted her teeth and ran towards it.
I don't want to run far away, and there will be no road ahead.
Looking at the bottomless cliff, Shen Ruzhou's breath stagnated, he turned to the assassin who was chasing him, and said calmly: "No matter who sent you here, I am willing to pay double the amount of money he gives you. As long as you are willing to let me go."
The killer was indifferent. The leader sneered and said, "We don't want money, we just want your life."
After that, he shouted sharply to the left and right: "Do it, whoever kills her will be credited first."
The assassins showed their swords one by one and pressed forward.
Shen Ruzhou backed away in fear, and she had already reached the edge of the cliff in just two steps. Her foot slipped and she almost fell, and the loose earth and rocks fell rustling.
One, two, three, Shen Ruzhou counted the approaching assassins and calculated the distance. At the critical moment, she took out the poisonous powder she carried with her and sprinkled it on the surrounding assassins.
The assassin fell to the ground in pain and fainted quickly, but the poison powder was limited after all, so he could only stun the nearest assassins, and the assassins behind him quickly surrounded him.
The leader pressed forward step by step, scolding fiercely: "I originally wanted to leave you with a whole body, but now it seems that there is no need for it."
"Brothers, let's cut her into pieces and take her back to receive the reward."
The assassins were obviously enraged, their eyes were red, and they were ready to kill.
Shen Ruzhou turned his head and glanced at the cliff behind him. Rather than being hacked to death by their swords, it was better to jump off the cliff.
Having made up his mind, Shen Ruzhou closed his eyes and was about to jump off the cliff when the sound of rapid horse hooves came to his ears.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Bei Xiuyan in white clothes and white hair, fighting with the assassin with a horse and a sword.
Beixiu Yan's martial arts skills were extremely high, and his movements were crisp and neat. He quickly knocked down a group of assassins to the ground. Shen Ruzhou thought that he was saved and happily walked towards Bei Xiuyan. Unexpectedly, an assassin who was lying on the ground suddenly got up and attacked her. Come, Shen Ruzhou retreats hurriedly, his feet are empty, his body tilts back uncontrollably, and falls off the cliff.
Seeing this, Bei Xiuyan threw out the sword in his hand and pierced the assassin's chest, then flew over to catch Shen Ruzhou.
Seeing that it was time to give Xiao Chenyan acupuncture to detoxify, but Shen Ruzhou didn't come for a long time, Concubine De was so angry that she slammed the table, "This Shen Ruzhou is really getting more and more arrogant. It's just that he was absent-minded during the treatment. I might as well not come today. Instead, Got her."
Seeing that Concubine De was angry, Aunt Wu hurriedly consoled her, "Madam, don't worry, Princess Wucheng may have been delayed by something, she should be here soon."
"What Princess Wucheng?" This title sounded particularly harsh to Concubine De. She raised her hand and slapped Nanny Wu, "We have already reconciled. Shen Ruzhou is nothing now."
"Yes, yes, yes." Nanny Wu covered her face and nodded in agreement, regretting that she was stupid and said the wrong thing.
After the scolding, Concubine De felt a little guilty. She turned to look at Xiao Chenyan, "Shen Ruzhou won't just ignore you just because he reconciled with you, right?"
Xiao Chenyan's face was pale and his body was still weak, "My mother and concubine are worrying too much. Although I signed the letter of reconciliation, but before I fully recover, if she can't get the letter of reconciliation, we will not be truly reconciled. "
Xiao Chenyan said this, but his heart became more and more uneasy.Although Shen Ruzhou is arrogant, he always keeps his promises. Since he promised to detoxify and treat his illness, he will not give up halfway. Could something happen?
Xiao Chenyan was about to tell the palace people to find Shen Ruzhou when Jun Wu hurried in, knelt in front of him and reported: "My lord, I'm sorry, I just received the news that Miss Shen fell off the cliff. Her life and death are still unknown."
This news was like a bolt from the blue. Xiao Chenyan jumped off the couch in shock, "Impossible, how could Shen Ruzhou fall off the cliff."
"I'll go find her." Xiao Chenyan muttered these words and rushed out the door.
When Concubine De saw that he was only wearing inner clothes and barefoot, she went out to look for Shen Ruzhou regardless.He hurried forward and grabbed Xiao Chenyan, urging him: "You are not well yet, so you can't go out."
Xiao Chenyan acted as if he hadn't heard anything and wanted to break away from Concubine De's hand, but as soon as he exerted force, his body fell backwards uncontrollably. Jun Wu had sharp eyes and helped him first.
Xiao Chenyan was so anxious that he felt a fishy taste in his throat. He tilted his head to the side, vomited a large mouthful of blood and then fainted.
In a daze, Xiao Chenyan entered the dream that often appeared again. In the dream, he was wearing a heavy emperor's crown, looking at the woman whose breath was weak on the bed, and stubbornly ordered the imperial doctor to use the best medicinal materials in the world, without hesitation. She must be saved at all costs.
Why is he so heartbroken? He obviously doesn't like her. Ever since she got married, he has never given her a good look or said a word of love to her. He treats her and the General's Mansion behind her as pawns, but Now that this chess piece was of no use to him, he was so reluctant to part with it.
He just stood in front of the bed and watched, as if time had stopped. He didn't believe that Shen Ruzhou was about to leave him. At this time, the leading physician wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and reported to him: "Your Majesty, the Queen, she is …”
How is she?
At the critical point in the dream, Xiao Chenyan was forcefully pricked with a needle by the imperial doctor and woke up. He opened his eyes and looked at everything in the side hall, and asked blankly: "How is Shen Ruzhou?"
