The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 1082
Seeing that the assassin had the upper hand and was about to stab the emperor with the tip of his knife, a figure stood in front of the emperor.

Xiao Yan protected Li Xiuyi behind him. He was very skilled and his attacks were fast and hard. The assassin couldn't get close at all, but Xiao Yan's body suddenly swayed, and no one except those nearby noticed it.

Xiao Yan staggered a step, his vision suddenly became blurry. He didn't have time to think about anything else. The assassin was already in front of him. He used his instinct to deflect the blow. He took a few steps back, his face extremely ugly.

He was out of sight.

The sudden blindness made Xiao Yan lose his advantage. He took a step back, looked for the emperor's direction, and blocked the fatal blow for Li Xiuyi when the assassin was about to stab him.

Chaos, noise, blood, clash of swords...

There was a lot of noise all around, but Li Xiuyi seemed to be unable to hear anything. All he could see was Xiao Yan's body close at hand and the hot blood flowing in it...

Li Xiuyi's voice trembled: "Uncle Yan!"

But it was all too late.

The emperor's men finally arrived and quickly eliminated the assassins, while the remaining ones were captured alive and taken away for interrogation.

The emperor was assassinated at the banquet, the imperial advisor was seriously injured, and everyone was left behind for rigorous questioning.

Everyone was in shock, and everyone felt uneasy. They were also afraid that there were assassins in the crowd, and everyone was tense.

Tao Zhen was given preferential treatment. She was arranged to rest in a side hall. The palace people outside looked in a hurry and everyone was in a panic.

Tao Zhen sat quietly, she was exceptionally calm, and even wanted to laugh a little.

She felt that everything before her eyes had turned into a bizarre painting. Lies and betrayal made the painting look absurd and ridiculous.

The imperial doctors tried their best to save the imperial master's life.

But Li Xiuyi kept guarding, no matter who tried to persuade him. It wasn't until he was sure that Xiao Yan would not die that he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt a fishy sweet taste in his throat, but he still swallowed it alive.

Li Xiuyi ordered a strict investigation of the murderer and asked Xiao Yan's eldest disciple to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the Imperial Master's Office. After that, he went to see Xiao Yan before going to rest.

Tao Zhen didn't know what news there would be outside. She took a nap and when she woke up, Pei Zhan had come back. Now that Xiao Yan was seriously injured and Li Xiuyi was not in good spirits, Pei Zhan could only stay in the palace. "How is Xiao Yan?" Tao Zhen asked.

Pei Zhan said: "Just a little bit."

He pointed at his chest: "If it's even half an inch off, Xiao Yan will definitely die."

Tao Zhen smiled.

It's really funny.

Pei Zhan looked at her.

Tao Zhen said: "Are you saying that once people have power, nothing matters to them?"

Pei Zhan couldn't tell.

He was nearby at the time. Before the assassin came, he saw Li Xiuyi toast Xiao Yan with a glass of wine. Later, when he was assassinated, Xiao Yan clearly had the upper hand but something suddenly happened.

Not long ago, he treated Xiao Yan's injury and took a special look. Xiao Yan was poisoned.

If not, the assassin wouldn't be able to get close to him at all.

All of this was premeditated. It was not someone who wanted to assassinate Li Xiuyi, but Li Xiuyi who wanted to kill Xiao Yan.

Tao Zhen said: "I warned him, but he still fell into the trap. You said he is so proficient in medical skills, doesn't he know that the wine is poisonous?"

Pei Zhan didn't speak.

A person who has been planning to kill someone for a long time, and a person who is willing to die and desperately protects the person who wants to kill him before dying.

How touching! !
After all, it is a word of love, and probably no one can understand it except the person involved.
