Uncle, don't overdo it

"Quick... save me..." Xia Yubing raised her hand and waved to the old maid standing in front of her.

Just like when she was about to die at the hands of those gangsters, she was so powerless that she couldn't even protect her own children.

"Quick, quick, Zhiqi—" Zhao Rong hurriedly recovered from the surprise, and greeted Zhiqi in the room.

Zhiqi ran out of the house in response, seeing Zhao Rong calling out to her nervously, she couldn't help but step forward to give her a hand, and together with Zhao Rong helped Xia Yubing into the house.

"You... hurry up and sweep away the snow marks..." Xia Yubing did not forget to ask.

The snow in the courtyard was clear, but the snow prints she brought would give away her tracks.

"Zhiqi, do it quickly." Zhao Rong also ordered urgently.

Zhiqi didn't say anything, picked up the broom and hurried out.

It seemed that Zhao Rong recognized this injured woman, and Zhao Rong cared most about the Second Prince in her life, which meant that this woman might be related to the Second Prince.Thinking of Ximenhen, Zhiqi didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly cleaned up the snow in the courtyard. The snow that was stained with Xia Yubing's blood was also covered under the snowdrift by her.

As soon as the sweep was over, the pursuers arrived.

Zhiqi was startled, wondering if Zhao Rong could hide that person in the room?

Zhiqi stood beside the snowdrift with a broom, pretending to be calm and watching the guards who broke into the yard.

"Miss Zhiqi, excuse me." The commander of the guards recognized Zhiqi.

Zhiqi nodded lightly, pretending to be puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Miss Zhiqi, didn't you see an assassin break in?" the guard commander asked while observing the courtyard.

Zhiqi shook his head.

"I'm sorry, the matter is very important, and I have offended the second prince." The guard said in command.Saying that, without giving Zhiqi a chance to stop him, he waved his hand, "Search!"

At this time, Zhao Rong also came out of the house, and asked in confusion, "My lord, what's the matter? The old slave has been living here all this time..."

"It's none of your business. The emperor was assassinated and died. Now the situation in the palace is tense. We must strictly investigate to prevent assassins from causing trouble in the palace. This is also for everyone's safety. Fortunately, the palace wall is not easy to break through. That The woman has been hit by a poisoned arrow and cannot escape, we just need to find it as soon as possible."

The commander of the guards paid attention to the small courtyard while talking.

Originally thought that the emperor did not need to change, but Ximen Jinglie was assassinated when he left the palace. The owner of the palace must be changed. As the commander of the guards, if he wants to secure his seat in front of the new emperor, he must show merit. The assassin who broke into the palace was a big fish given to him.

The small courtyard is not big, and it was searched in a short while.

"Report to Commander, but I didn't find it."

"No?" The commander of the guards was very puzzled. The blood he was looking for was cut off near this courtyard, and there was an open space around it. Only this courtyard was suitable for hiding.

He couldn't believe how far a wounded and poisoned man could escape.

"My lord, this courtyard is only this big. If the second prince is not here, there are only us two women..." Zhao Rong blocked Zhiqi who was holding the broom with sweaty palms behind her and said.

Seeing that no one was found, the commander of the guards couldn't just stare at this place, so he immediately ordered to continue searching around.

After everyone left, Zhao Rong closed the courtyard door, and then patted her chest to let out a sigh.

She is also very scared, but after living in the palace for such a long time, she knows how to hide herself better.

"Aunt Rong." Zhiqi called, her voice trembling.

"Go back to the house." Zhao Rong whispered, and walked into the house first.

Zhiqi then stepped in, but before she could stand still, a cold hand grabbed her neck.

"Miss Xia, don't worry, Zhiqi is very reliable, she won't leak the secret." Zhao Rong hurriedly advised.

"I believe you." Xia Yubing let go of her hand and sat down on the bed.

Zhao Rong stroked her chest, "After the palace chaos that year, the second prince secretly built this secret room to prevent him from hiding in case something happens. I don't want to save the girl today."

"It seems that Hen'er and I are destined." Xia Yubing said, frowning involuntarily.

The leg was just a knife wound, she had already torn off the cloth shirt and tied it up, but the shoulder was hit by a poisoned arrow.

"What should I do?" Zhao Rong also lost her mind.Tibetans are easy, but she is incapable of healing.

"It won't kill me for the time being." Xia Yubing said, "It would be great if there is a way to find Chu Yitian."

That being said, is it that easy to find Chu Yitian?

Xia Yubing was worrying when there was another noise outside the house.

"It's the second prince." Through the crack of the door, Zhiqi saw that figure.

The footsteps were fast, Xia Yubing just got up and wanted to avoid, when someone came in.Fortunately, it wasn't the guards who were chasing her down, otherwise she would have been killed.

"As expected, you are hiding with me." Ximenhen was not surprised to see Xia Yubing.

Outside, he heard that the commander of the guards had led people to search his yard, so he had the bottom line.

"Aunt Rong, hiding a fugitive is a capital crime, especially the one who assassinated the father." Ximenhen said.

Zhao Rong thumped, and then remembered what the guard commander said before, the emperor was assassinated?

She has been focusing on Xia Yubing all the time, and she has ignored the rhythm of the changing sky.

At this time, Zhiqi was also quite frightened, and even stood a little unsteadily.

"Hehe, that's good, I fell into your hands, you can take credit for it, maybe the new emperor is you." Xia Yubing coughed up another mouthful of dirty blood as he said.

"Aunt Rong, go outside and take care of her. I'll help her force the poison." Ximen Hen said.

"Second prince..." Zhiqi hesitated.

She didn't know the relationship between this woman and Ximenhen, but the second prince caused a lot of trouble for her if he wanted to save her. You must know that she was the one who assassinated the emperor, how could the second prince save his father's enemy?

"Go and clear the snowdrifts in the yard." Ximen Hen said.

Although those bloodstains were hidden in the snowdrift by Zhiqi, the bloodstains would still be exposed after the snow melted.

"Yes." Seeing Ximenhen's attitude, Zhiqi could only obey.

No matter what, her life belongs to the second prince.

Ximenhen helped Xia Yubing force out part of the poison. Although there was still some residue in his body, it had little effect for the time being.

"Your skill is indeed not low." Xia Yubing praised, originally she thought that the matter of Ye Tingxuan was just a rumor, but after not wanting to experience it for herself, she gained a new understanding of Ximenhen, "Before, I only stared at Ximen Yin, I ignored you, it seems that you are not an honest person."

"I did it to save my life." Ximenhen said, "Before I was lucky enough to escape, it doesn't mean that luck will always follow me."

"Is it just to save your life? Now Ximen Jinglie has been killed by me. If you work harder, the throne will be yours."

Xia Yubing didn't believe that a child born in the royal family could really resist the temptation of the throne.
