Master Emperor, your wife is too poisonous

Chapter 498

Xiaobao was startled when he heard the words, but immediately calmed down.

He wasn't stupid. Judging by Ji Xuanxue's reaction, she probably didn't know there would be such a change, but he vaguely felt that Ji Xuanxue might have something to do with it tonight.

He was left on the covered bridge for no reason, and an assassin appeared at this moment.

Fortunately, he was vigilant and didn't let Ji Xuanli chase the other guards away. If there were only three of them left on the bridge, the consequences would be even more disastrous.

And the man in black is the same, if he really wants to take the prince's life, he can do it directly at this moment, but he insists on attacking a child like him...

Even acting is too clumsy, what kidnapping the prince is clearly a cover!

Tonight's show is clearly aimed at him.

Ji Xuanli had obviously guessed this too, with an unbelievable look on his face, his eyes fell on Ji Xuanxue who was beside him in shock and anger, he opened his mouth to say something, but the assassin behind him tightly grabbed his throat, making him He couldn't make a sound.

Ji Xuanxue was also flustered at this moment, looked at Xiaobao in a panic, and ordered the guards beside him sharply, "Didn't you hear what he said? Hurry up and kill this little bastard!"

The guards on the side hesitated and did not dare to go forward, and the man in black sneered even more, "The guards are not allowed to go forward, all of them will be returned to me."

"Throw the sword over here, I want you to do it yourself!"

"I, I won't kill people!" Ji Xuanxue trembled in fright.

The man in black didn't give her a chance to choose at all, "I'll just count to three, if you don't do it again, the prince will die."

"one!"

At the same time that man shouted, the sword on Ji Xuanli's neck tightened a bit, and the sharp edge of the sword drew a glaring bloodstain on Ji Xuanli's neck.

Ji Xuanxue screamed in fright, and hurriedly said: "Don't do anything, don't hurt my brother, I will kill him! I will kill him now!"

"two!"

Xiaobao pursed his lips and turned to look at Ji Xuanxue. When he heard the second call from the number, Ji Xuanxue rushed to the guard, grabbed the sword from the guard's hand, and rushed towards him.

He gritted his teeth, got out of the gap in the fence of the covered bridge, and jumped directly from the covered bridge with a "plop" into the deep lake below.

Ji Xuanxue's stabbing sword missed nothing, and he was stunned.

A look of success flashed across the eyes of the man in black, and while everyone else's attention was focused on Xiaobao who jumped into the lake, he held Ji Xuanli hostage and was about to fly away.

Not far from the lake, a flying arrow shot straight at his face with the sound of piercing through the air.

He immediately raised his sword to block, and the restraint on Ji Xuanli was also forced to loosen. Ji Xuanli took the opportunity to pull out a hidden dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed the man in black in the heart with his backhand.

The man in black snorted, and before he had time to fight back, another feathered arrow shot straight at him, and the sharp point of the arrow pierced through the center of his brow and nailed it firmly into his skull.

Ji Xuanli broke free from his restraint, kicked him hard, jumped up and landed steadily on the ground by the lake.

But the man's body fell heavily to the ground, twisting his neck when it landed, and that posture looked particularly terrifying.

"Xuanli, are you okay!"

Not far away, Ji Mingli's voice could be heard, and the guards shouted to block the Royal Garden.

Ji Xuanli covered the wound on his neck and turned to look at Ji Mingli, then raised his voice and said, "Father, I'm fine!"

After saying this, he went straight to the side of the masked man in black, knelt down and raised his hand to remove the black cloth covering the man's face.

When he saw the man's appearance clearly, he clenched his fists tightly and clenched his teeth, the blood on his face almost faded away.

Before Ji Mingli and the others came over, he sternly ordered, "Go down to the lake to search immediately! Make sure to rescue Young Master Ye!"

The guards standing on the covered bridge were just waking up from a dream at this moment, and immediately jumped into the lake to save people.

When Helian Mingye rushed to the covered bridge where Xiaobao fell into the water, Ji Xuanxue was still standing on the bridge with a sword in his hand.

Seeing Helian Mingye, she seemed to have seen a savior, and as soon as her eyes turned red, she rushed towards Helian Mingye, "Brother Ye, I..."

As soon as she ran in front of Helian Mingye, Helian Mingye directly raised his hand and slapped her hard across the face.

That slap was really hard, and Ji Xuanxue's face was instantly swollen with red marks.

She covered her swollen cheeks and looked at Helian Mingye in disbelief, but met Helian Mingye's eyes full of cold murderous intent.

"You should be thankful that you are a princess and the daughter of a noble concubine, otherwise you would not be here tonight!"

"Brother Ye, what are you talking about? I, I was threatened! I didn't mean to..."

She stretched out her hand in a panic to grab Helian Mingye's arm, but Helian Mingye turned sideways in disgust to avoid her touch, and only yelled, "Get out!"

Ji Xuanxue stopped on the spot after being shouted at, and froze there for a long while without recovering.

Helian Mingye didn't even look at her, walked quickly to the fence of the covered bridge, and looked down.

The night was too dark, and it was overcast here, so the moonlight couldn't even shine through, so he couldn't see the situation at the bottom of the lake clearly, he could only see the guards flopping about looking for someone in the lake.

After a few breaths, a figure suddenly appeared from the bottom of the lake, but it was several meters away from the covered bridge.

The man glanced around, noticed Helian Mingye standing on the covered bridge, and immediately shouted: "Master! The young master's condition is not very good, so hurry up and call the imperial doctor!"

Before Jin He finished speaking, another figure appeared from the bottom of the lake. Everyone immediately looked over and found that the figure was Miss Yang from General Xuanwei's residence.

She also held a child in her arms and was dragging the child to swim to the shore.

Helian Mingye immediately flew to the shore closest to Yang Lingmeng, and after Yang Lingmeng took Xiaobao ashore, he quickly took Xiaobao from Yang Lingmeng's arms.

Xiao Bao vomited several sips of water as soon as he landed, and he was still breathing, but he still didn't wake up, and his body shivered uncontrollably as if he was very cold.

"Master Helian, it's obviously a mess this time." Yang Lingmeng came ashore, twisted the water on his clothes and hair, and whispered to Helian Mingye before the others came around: "They are in the lake. Someone has been arranged here, and it is estimated that Xiaobao will jump into the river."

She leaned over and opened Xiaobao's pants, exposing his ankles for Helian Mingye to see.

On Xiaobao's originally white and tender ankle, there was a red mark three fingers wide.

"The man hiding in the lake twisted water plants into a rope and tied it to Xiaobao's ankle, and pressed the other end of the water plant rope under the rocks at the bottom of the lake."

"If Jin He and I hadn't gone down fast enough to grab that man, the one who was rescued might not be a living person, but Xiaobao's corpse."
