Chapter 379 Blood Splattered

Cheng Xiaoxiao heard that it was now flip-flopped to this sentence, and now inevitably felt a bit tasteless.

It is what Chu Jingxiao said just now about the imperial study, it sounds like an evidence, but Chu Jingxiao didn't say it clearly.

Cheng Xiaoxiao's question Chu Jingxiao quickly helped her answer, and for good reason Chu Jingxiao went back to get the soft sword he had just dropped to the ground,

"If it weren't for the assassins that my son has helped XIV block over the years, how many lives do you think XIV would have to face on his own, Father?"

What the hell? Why is the assassin going to kill Chu Hongyi again?

What's going on here?

Cheng Xiaoxiao just wanted to listen to Chu Jingxiao continue explaining, but he found that Chu Jingxiao had already raised his sword and was gesturing something, and while he was gesturing, he was reciting words in his mouth,

"As Father's favorite son, the most likely candidate to become the Crown Prince, so it's only right that my son should carry those assassinations. This move by Father and Noble Consort Su really worked beautifully!"

Zhao Guifei still didn't know when Chu Jingxiao, who was kneeling on the ground with her in a good way, had stood up and picked up the sword that she had originally thrown away.

Chu Hongzhen's expression became even more surprised, he watched Chu Jingxiao's every move with his eyes, and his mouth was still trying to find a way to defend himself,

"I love you with all my heart, there is actually no difference between how I treated you and Yi'er all these years."

Chu Jingxiao shook his head, his mouth emitting a 'tsk tsk' sound of amazement, "Since I was a child, I have been taught to be sincere and not to lie, so how is it that nowadays, Father Emperor himself lies instead. Could it be that Father Emperor's lies can become true after being told too many times?"

Chu Hongzhen still wanted to speak, but he was more nervous about the direction of the tip of Chu Jingxiao's soft sword.

Because that facing direction just happened to be Chu Hongzhen his own position, he also saw Zhao Guifei anxious eyes, which made Chu Hongzhen had to hesitate for a moment.

It was also such an extremely tiny moment that Chu Jingxiao raised his eyebrows with some dissatisfaction,

"It seems that Father has been spoken to by my son and does not approve of my son's proposal."

Chu Jingxiao's hand moved again, or more accurately, his entire body moved.

Moving with him was Chu Yunshen, who had been coldly observing.

Originally, Chu Yunshen still looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao from time to time and threatened Cheng Xiaoxiao with his eyes to tighten his movements, but when he saw Chu Jingxiao's movements, the first one to react and rush out was still him.

Chu Hongyi was also only a few seconds slower than Chu Yunshen, who was still being grabbed by Cheng Xiaoxiao's collar.

Because Chu Hongyi's speed was fast and strong, he actually brought Cheng Xiaoxiao along with him as he lunged towards Chu Hongzhen's position.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was stupidly still unable to figure out what was happening, she didn't even know that she had to loosen Chu Hongyi's collar.

"Dash, let go!"

By the time Cheng Xiaoxiao unconsciously released her hand dizzily under a few confusing reminders, her entire body had already inexplicably moved from Chu Hongyi's position to the temple.

Chu Hongyi is closer to Chu Hongzhen, Cheng Xiaoxiao released his hand due to inertia did not brake the foot, was thrown out of the first blocked to the front of Chu Hongzhen.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was just about to open her mouth to ask, but she saw a cold light approaching her.

Only then did she realize that Chu Jingxiao in the center of the temple was running straight towards Chu Hongzhen with his sword, and the people in the temple also panicked in a flash.

Noble Consort Su tried to pull Chu Hongyi who was behind Cheng Xiao Xiao, while Chu Yun Shen tried to cross over the two to save Cheng Xiao Xiao.

The only one who didn't go forward was Noble Consort Zhao who had been kneeling for a long time, and Cheng Xiaoxiao watched her crawl for half a day before she struggled to get up from the ground and also ran over towards this side.

Zhao Guifei lifted the layers of palace skirts on her body, and her mouth cried out, "Fuse don't ah!"

Don't shout! Shouting makes me panic!

I don't know whether it is psychological fear, or really physical discomfort, Cheng Xiaoxiao inexplicably feel out of breath, head also feel dizzy, people almost did not stand still.

Seeing Chu Jingxiao's sword getting closer and closer, Cheng Xiaoxiao's ears began to ring.

Her head was 'buzzing'. For a moment everything around her became blurry, and various sounds were amplified so much.

Those voices were very shrill, and they had been so loud that Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't keep quiet.

Stop arguing, you guys are really annoying.

Soon there was no way for her to stabilize herself any longer, the situation at hand had come too suddenly, without any warning at all.

She also didn't dare to act rashly, and could only try to distinguish the chaotic scene in front of her, trying to grope for the wine case separating her and Chu Hongzhen.

Before she could touch the wine case in her hand, the sound of a sharp blade breaking the wind in her ear came over.

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt the hair on her temples being brought up by this strong wind, and in the next second, she landed in the middle of a warm embrace.

Fortunately, her sense of smell was still normal and she could smell the nice grassy scent of the one holding her.

The scent was so familiar that her originally panicked heart quickly calmed down.

Just a moment ago, she thought she was going to die.

Although she is 'dead' many times, but each time the situation is different, each time is also a real ah.

This time she not only can't see what's in front of her eyes, her brain is still muddled with the same poisoning as before, just now Chu Jingxiao's sword also came over ...

Right! Chu Jingxiao!

Cheng Xiaoxiao struggled and was about to get up, touching the chest of the person holding her as much as she could, and just as she was about to touch towards this person's waistline, this person finally made a move.

Chu Yunshen rather helplessly caught Cheng Xiaoxiao's hand, and lowered his voice to say in Cheng Xiaoxiao's ear,

"Dash what are you doing?"

Cheng Xiaoxia could only hear voices now and then, and she couldn't make out the words just now.

The more she thought about it, the worse it got, and the more the man holding her hand resisted, the more she panicked.

It must be hurt, it must be that he's hurt, otherwise why wouldn't he let me check it out.

She desperately tried to break free of her bound hands, and her large, moving eyes gazed off into the distance, stained with crystals in a matter of moments.

The man was still trying to resist, and Cheng Xiaoxiao was getting anxious, she didn't dare to call out the man's name regardless,

"Chu Yunshen!"

It was not known whether it was God's will or coincidence, when Cheng Xiaoxiao anxiously wanted to angrily rebuke Chu Yunshen, there were two other voices that sounded at the same time.

Both of those voices were louder than Cheng Xiaoxiao's, almost instantly covering Cheng Xiaoxiao's voice.

"Fuse!" —

"Yi'er!" —

Perhaps because she was anxious and stimulated by her own emotions, Cheng Xiaoxiao gradually regained her sight in the midst of these two screams.

Her originally groggy head had cleared up a bit, it was her legs that were still a bit weak.

The first thing she did was to look Chu Yunshen up and down.

She was looking at it anxiously and carefully, examining it as she kept crunching it under her breath,

"Scared me to death, scared me to death! Luckily you're okay, okay okay."

"Dash what's wrong with you?"

Chu Yunshen also noticed Cheng Xiaoxiao's perversity, he loosened his hand, and the pink color on the tip of his ear was fading rapidly.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was about to explain to Chu Yunshen when there was another ear-piercing cry in her ears, accompanied by the woman's persistent screams.

She subconsciously looked over with the voice, but the glance scared her legs a little more.

Chu Hongyi did not know when he collapsed in the arms of Chu Hongzhen and Su Guifei, the upper half of his body was covered in blood, Cheng Xiaoxia did not know for a moment where Chu Hongyi was injured.

She looked at the Chu Hongyi who fell in a pool of blood with dismay, Chu Hongyi's face was pale and his eyes were closed tightly, there was no trace of the old days when he was alive and well.

Cheng Xiaoxiao's mind was in turmoil, and she wanted to clear her head to face reality, but she was inexplicably panicked.

Could it be that Chu Hongyi had blocked the sword for her just now?

Then why was Chu Yunshen the one who escaped with her in his arms?

Chu Hongyi had bled so much, his face was white, it must have hurt him.

Cheng Xiaoxiao thought of her past days when a small cut on her hand would kill her, and the first few times she broke her nails it was as if it killed her, and she hadn't bled so much at that time.

How painful this must be for Chu Hongyi! But he stiffly blocked that sword for her.

"He ..."

Was planning to ask Chu Yunshen, once she opened her mouth Cheng Xiaoxiao realized that her voice was so hoarse.

She choked back a sob and blinked before realizing that a cold liquid had dripped onto to her lapel.

"It's not what you think, come home and I'll explain."

As if guessing what Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to ask, Chu Yunshen answered her first while she was still frozen.

Cheng Xiaoxia wanted to ask more, but another scream over there stopped Cheng Xiaoxia's voice.

Why is there still crying?

She looked towards the sounds coming from not far from Chu Hongzhen and the others, only to see Zhao Guifei's face covered in blood holding someone who was also covered in blood and was letting out a cry.

She recognized it more carefully, only to find that a soft sword had also fallen beside the person lying down, and that person's clothes were exactly the same as what Chu Jingxiao was wearing today.

It's Chu Jingxiao?

But who hurt him?

Seventh Prince Chu Ye Lin held the unconscious Zhu Rong in one hand and the panicked Empress in the other, and also hid in the corner on the other side.

Feeling the line of sight from Chu Yunshen's side, Chu Yelin rather unnaturally avoided eye contact.

Not that way, but everyone else has already fled, so where is everyone else?

Nope!

Someone!

Cheng Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and looked towards the entrance of the Baohe Temple Hall.

The Hall of Bohol was relatively large, and the entrance to the hall was against the light, but she could still see clearly that there stood a few figures that almost blended in with the door of the hall.

Their cuffs still seemed to be glistening with the cold light of stars, and she could feel the eerie chill from this far away.

Cheng Xiaoxiao shrank her head with some trepidation, only to hear Chu Yunshen, who had wrapped his arms around her in his embrace, comforting her above her head,

"Don't be afraid. Just don't look at them, those are the Emperor's secret guards."

Cheng Xiaoxiao obediently shifted her gaze, but suddenly remembered something.

In order to seek confirmation of her thoughts, she panicked and purposely poked her head out of the cloak to look at Chu Jingxiao.

Chu Jingxiao, who was lying in Noble Consort Zhao's arms, really did have a bit of cold light flashing on his chest as well, further confirming Cheng Xiaoxiao's suspicions.

Chu Jingxiao, stabbed by a secret guard.

But when did they come and when did they stab Chu Jingxiao?

It was still necessary to ask Chu Yunshen to find out, who made her a 'little deaf and blind' just now.

"Shh, don't talk."

Chu Yunshen's voice was very close, and his breath was scattered all over Cheng Xiaoxiao's head.

She stiffened and hurried to stand obediently, not daring to continue her nonsense.

On the side of the ear, Su Guifei's voice was much weaker than just now, and she also heard Chu Hongzhen's comforting voice,

"It's fine, it's fine, I've already declared the Imperial Doctor, our Yi'er will definitely be fine."
