Li Ji gave instructions to Chen Wangbei who was standing beside him.
"Drag these two women out and beat them to death with sticks."
Hearing this, the expressions of the two women changed drastically.
They hurriedly begged: "Your Majesty, spare your life!"
Chen Wangbei ordered two personal guards to come forward and arrest him.
Seeing that they were doomed, the two girls turned their hearts away, pulled out the sharp daggers hidden in their sleeves, and rushed towards Li Ji recklessly!
I'm going to die anyway, so why not fight one last time before dying!
Even if they can't kill King Zhao, as long as they hurt him and make things worse, they can be regarded as having completed the task assigned by their master.
However, Li Ji had already made preparations.
Almost as soon as they moved, he pressed the mechanism of the wheelchair.
Whoosh!
Two arrows shot out from both sides of the wheelchair, piercing the hearts of the two girls.
They opened their eyes wide and lowered their heads in disbelief, looking at their bleeding wounds.
The next moment, they staggered and fell into a pool of blood.
Li Ji said coldly: "Throw their bodies out to feed the dogs, and tell the public that the two of them stole the property of the palace and were beaten to death with random sticks."
Chen Wangbei: "Here!"
The two corpses were carried out by the guards, and the blood on the ground was quickly cleaned up by the servants.
Whether it was Chen Wangbei, Gao Shan, or the other servants in the palace, they didn't say a word about it.
All of them maintained a high degree of silence and obedience.
It seemed that those who were killed just now were not two big living people, but just two insignificant ants.
Only the four maids that Hua Manman brought from Bo's residence were frightened by the accident.
They had never seen such a scene before, and all of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their hands and feet were cold.
They had also heard many rumors about King Zhao before, but they all thought it was just rumors, never thought that the rumors were all true, this King Zhao was really moody and murderous without blinking an eye.
At this time, they didn't even have the courage to look at King Zhao, and there was only endless fear in their hearts.
Seeing this, Hua Manman found an excuse and sent them all away.
The four servant girls retreated in a panic as if they had been pardoned.
Everyone else in the house also left.
In the end, only Hua Manman and Li Ji were left.
Hua Manman hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked cautiously.
"How does the prince know that those two are assassins?"
Li Ji leaned back, showing a relaxed posture, and lazily said: "Guess."
Hua Manman: "Could it be because they showed some flaws just now? But the concubine didn't see any problems with them."
Li Ji: "That's because you are blind."
Hua Manman: "..."
She had a resentful face, and secretly sneered in her heart.
That's right, if I wasn't blind, how could I marry a dog like you? !
Li Ji narrowed his eyes, and his eyes became dangerous.
Hua Manman inexplicably felt that his appearance was a bit scary at this time, so she hurriedly changed the subject.
"Since the lord knows that they are assassins, why don't you keep them alive and interrogate them? Maybe you can find out who is behind them."
Li Ji smiled inexplicably: "You can tell from their skills that they have received professional training. Even if they are captured alive, they will not tell the truth. They will probably take the opportunity to bite and mess up the water completely. .”
There is one more thing he didn't say.
These two women were given to him by the emperor.
No matter who sent them, as long as their assassin identities were exposed, the emperor would definitely be implicated.
The person behind it seems to be aiming at him, but the real target is actually the current emperor.
