“Take her away! ” he said. Since she was silly and hoarse, she probably wouldn’t disturb his master.

The peddler got into the carriage and smiled at the coachman. “I caught this hostage well. I’m not worried with this silly kid!”

“Alright, sit in and close the curtain!”

The coachman waved his horsewhip and left the capital from the west city gate.

More than half of the people planted by King Nanyang in the imperial guards had been harmed by Su Cheng. Only a small team of imperial guards patrolling outside had dodged Su Cheng’s dark cuisine. They did not know the situation in the palace and rushed over with high morale.

As soon as they entered the palace, they were attacked by Su Cheng.

As for the sacrificial soldiers and experts who had covered King Nanyang’s retreat and captured hostages, they were either dead or injured under the full siege of Xiao Shunyang, Jing Yi, and the others.

This group of people was too difficult to deal with. Every guard’s life was their life. In order to reduce the casualties of the imperial guards and guards, Jing Yi and Xiao Shunyang were at the front. They joined in the siege with Bai Ze,Wu Mu, Hong Luan, and Qing Xuan.

Among them, the square-faced Wu Mu was seriously injured and was carried down by the imperial guards. Hong Luan, Bai Ze, and Qing Xuan also suffered varying degrees of injuries.

Xiao Shunyang’s left arm was dislocated and he reattached it himself.

Jing Yi’s right arm had been slashed, and blood stained his sleeve.

“Jing Yi!” Xiao Zhonghua walked over with a serious expression.

Jing Yi put away his sword and said indifferently, “It’s a small injury. It’s fine. A few people were left alive over there. Cousin can bring them down for interrogation later.”

Xiao Zhonghua nodded and turned to look at Princess Jingning and the others on the white marble steps. “How are you?”

Princess Jingning looked at the daughters beside her. Everyone looked a little disheveled. Fortunately, they were not injured.

“We’re fine,” she said.

Seeing that the fight was finally over, Princess Hui An threw away the bow and arrow in her hand, raised her skirt, and ran over to throw herself into Xiao Zhonghua’s arms. “Third Brother… I was scared to death just now…”

Xiao Zhonghua rubbed her head helplessly and dotingly. “Third Brother saw it just now. Hui An was very brave.”

She stretched out her hand aggrievedly. “I shot many arrows. My hand hurts…” Xiao Zhonghua rubbed her hand.

Xiao Shunyang came to Princess Jingning’s side and took the bow from her hand, but he realized that he could not take it.

He did not dare to use too much strength. He looked down and saw that Princess Jingning’s palm was badly mangled from overexertion. The dried blood was stuck to the bow.

“Bear with it,” Xiao Shunyang said softly.

“Yes.” Princess Jingning nodded slightly.

Xiao Shunyang took down the bow bit by bit and took out a clean handkerchief to wrap around her wound. “Second Brother will send you back to Kunning

Palace.”

Princess Jingning looked at the daughters of the Palace Academy who were fighting with her. “Second Brother, arrange for the guards to send them back to the residence first.”

Xiao Shunyang said, “I’ll arrange it.”

Thinking of something, Princess Jingning’s expression changed. “Mother!” Since this group of people wanted to take hostages, they would not miss out on the women in the palace.

Their grandmother and mother were in grave danger.

When Su Cheng attacked just now, he said that the assassins in Yong Shou Palace had been eliminated and two people had escaped. He had already sent a team of imperial guards to search the harem with all their might.

Xiao Shunyang seemed to have thought of the Empress. He frowned and said to Xiao Zhonghua, “Third Brother, I’ll leave this to you! Deal with the aftermath. I’ll go to Kunning Palace!”

Xiao Zhonghua nodded.

Xiao Shunyang brought a team of guards and rushed to Kunning Palace.

As expected, Kunning Palace was broken into by an assassin. However, by the time he arrived, the battle had already ended.

The palace maids and eunuchs hid behind the pillar in fear and did not dare to make a sound. In the empty space not far from them, two masked assassins lay in a pool of scarlet blood.

Su Xiaoxiao took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her dagger.

Her hair was a little messy, and her red headband fluttered in the summer wind. There was a patch of bright red blood on her neck and cheek, making her look battle-worn and cruel.

Xiao Shunyang was stunned.

Su Xiaoxiao sheathed Lord Wu An’s dagger. Suddenly, she grabbed the bow and arrow on the stone table and shot it at Xiao Shunyang!

‘I’ms was tne second woman to make Mao snunyang tall Into a aaze. BY tne time he reacted, it was already too late to dodge.

His hair stood on end. He had never trembled so much when he fought the experts outside.

The arrow flashed past his ear.

A scream came from behind him.

He quickly turned around and saw an assassin being shot through the chest. The assassin flew back and fell heavily to the ground; his body stiffened and he died..
