Chen Zhaoyi opened her eyes wide, wanting to speak, wanting to ask for help, but she couldn't make a sound. Her throat could only produce a faint hissing gasp. The woman took two steps back, looking at Chen Zhaoyi who was on the verge of collapse without any sympathy, and slightly bowed: "Sorry, Your Highness, the young master wants to be a commoner, but our Peng family won't agree!"
Chen Zhaoyi's eyes were filled with fear, unease and incomprehension. She turned around laboriously to look at Cui'er behind her, but Cui'er was already in tears: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I...".
She had not finished speaking when Chen Zhaoyi fell to the ground and died.
At this time, the woman actually reached out and touched Chen Zhaoyi's neck, confirming that she was really dead. Only then did she scold Cui'er: "Are you tired of living? Don't you care about your parents' and brother's lives?"
Cui'er wiped away her tears with her hand, a look of bitter sorrow on her face: "Madam, please be at ease, I know what I should do, just spare my family."
"It all depends on how well you do it!"
The woman and the maid went out one after another, while Tang Lingfeng behind the screen looked at Chen Zhaoji lying on the ground in shock, listening to the sound of the maid's voice rising outside.
"Be careful, madam."
"The princess wants to eat tuobing, you quickly go get some and bring them over."
"You few don't just stand here foolishly, go sweep the courtyard, soon the mistress will come out to take a walk."
Soon, Yu'er Cui returned to the palace, she knelt beside Chen Zhaoyi and kept kowtowing.
"Your Ladyship, I'm sorry for my wrongdoings, I'll give up my life as compensation to you!"
Cui'er finished speaking and pulled out a dagger from Chen Zhaoyi's body, let out a loud cry, and actually inserted the dagger into her own abdomen.
This shout naturally led the people guarding outside in. When they saw Chen Zhaoyi lying in a pool of blood, they were all frightened out of their wits!
"Your Highness! Imperial Concubine!"
"What's going on?"
"Come quickly! Someone come quickly!"
In a flurry of panic, Cui'er strained to raise her hand and pointed towards the screen: "Assassin, quickly catch the assassin!"
She hadn't finished speaking when she was already out of breath, but this casual gesture had left Tang Lingfeng, who was standing behind the screen, with no choice but to flee in disarray!
"She fabricated a story to cover herself, saying that an assassin had attempted to stab her and pointed at the screen. I ran away in panic, which made it seem even more real! The palace was immediately put on high alert, and the eunuch who had been knocked unconscious was discovered, which got me into big trouble. I hid in the palace for two whole days before finally finding an opportunity to slip out."
Tang Lingfeng shook his head and said, "It wasn't me who did it, but I took the blame for them. That Mrs. Peng is finally at peace. Fortunately, Chen died, so at least nothing bad happened."
"It seems that there are still many people who want Chen to die. Since someone has taken the initiative to kill Chen for you, the matter is already settled, and this merit will be credited to your account!"
"Thanks, Hong Jie!" Tang Lingfeng smiled immediately.
"Get out of here and don't forget your manners!"
"Yes." Tang Lingfeng left, and Hong Gu glanced behind the screen. Behind the screen, a man's voice floated out: "I really didn't expect the Peng family to actually take action to get rid of the Chen family, ruthless enough."
Hong Gu sighed: "This person! Once they have an obsession in their heart, they will stop at nothing."
Two flowers bloom, we each represent one branch
On the martial arts arena, a simultaneous attack by 22 people is extremely frightening.
Fortunately, they were well-prepared. When they found themselves surrounded, Yu'er raised her hand and threw out a handful of green beans!
That's right, it's mung bean!
She shouted as she threw it out: "Take this!"
Everyone instinctively dodged, thinking it was a hidden weapon!
After the green beans happily jumped around on the court, the crowd angrily came out again but lost their previous unity:
Some people react slowly, some quickly; some carefully avoid stepping on the green beans, while others don't care.
Of course, Tang Fei Yan couldn't just stand by and do nothing. She lightly scolded them and casually found two disciples to pretend to fight each other, so as not to make Tang Xiao think she had ill intentions and settle the score with her.
As a result, these people had their front and back feet, and naturally had the empty space of outstretched hands, and Hua Rou and her three also had the real opportunity to confront each other!
Yu'er held a pair of short knives, dancing with the wind, blocking three or two. Linlin's hands were also a pair of eyebrow stabs, which were extremely agile and blocked several.
Hua Rou, probably because everyone's main target was her, actually faced many opponents, but she didn't wear gloves, a pair of bare fists swung around, and her mouth kept shouting: "Be careful!"
This instead scared the attacking people, who had to keep a certain distance, avoiding being touched by Hua Rou's palms, which they thought were poisonous. What's there to be careful about?
The attack was not thorough, so it was impossible to drive them out. However, there were indeed too many people, and the situation became precarious.
After fighting for a while, everyone found that Hua Rou was not the best target to attack, and suddenly changed direction, attacking Yu'er and Linlin.
Persimmons are always picked when they're soft to the touch, fortunately there were three of them helping each other out, so Hua Rou and the others assisted each other on the left and right, and didn't let this group of people succeed.
At this moment, Tang Jian, who was presiding over the chaotic battle on the side, suddenly shouted loudly: "Do you think I'm blind? If you don't want to have a good match, I'll come and decide the list!"
A sentence that didn't quite ring true, paired with a threat, immediately made the disciples who had risen to attack feel uneasy. They began to exchange blows among themselves, and for a time, no one attacked Huajou and her two companions.
Finally having a breather, Hua Rou and the other two exchanged a glance, continuing to be cautious. At this time, they saw Tang Liu shouting loudly from below the stage: "Master, you are mighty!"
This shout caused Hua Rou to glance down from the stage, and when she only saw Tang Liu'er but not Mu Junwu, she was quite surprised.
"Be careful!" At this time, Yu'er reminded her with a loud voice, and Hua Rou immediately responded by collecting her thoughts. It turned out that these people also felt it was unreasonable for no one to attack Hua Rou and the two of them at the same time, so three or four of them rushed over to take action against them.
When Hua Ruo Yu and Lin Lin were concentrating on defense, Mu Junwu vaguely returned to Tang Liu's side. His gaze was cast towards the field, but his eyes were empty, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
"Where did you go?" Tang Liu asked casually, but Mu Junwu seemed to have not heard him, staring blankly at the scene in front of him, silent.
"I'm telling you!" Tang Liu angrily stared at the disciples on the field, reached out and grabbed Mu Junwu's arm: "These people are too shameless! They conspired to attack Hua Rou and the other two together, I think Hua Rou and the others are done for."
Tang Liu's words made Mu Junwu's almost hollow eyes suddenly have a focal point, and he stared at the figure he had been paying attention to, as if he had found his vitality.
At this time, Hua Rou and the other two were dealing with a round of attacks. Suddenly, Hua Rou's hand grabbed onto Yu'er and Linlin's arms, which made those disciples who were on guard against poison can't help but be astonished - didn't her hands have poison?
Hua Rou said in a low voice: "From now on, use what I taught you to deal with it."
