Li Yanyan stared blankly at the place where Xiao Changzhen disappeared. Her heart seemed to be suddenly hollowed out. Tears rolled down her face without warning, and an inexplicable panic lingered in her heart.
She tried her best to control herself, thinking about the various benefits that would come after the matter was accomplished, and only then did she suppress the slight uneasiness in her heart.
Xiao Changzhen only needed to ask the attendants that Li Yanyan brought to Furong Garden today to know when Li Yanyan got the news, and he would completely understand what Li Yanyan wanted.
He stepped out of the palace and looked at the darkening night. Thousands of lights were already on, but they could not illuminate the endless darkness, just like the coldness in his heart that could not find a moment of warmth.
He went to the Imperial Guard, where he used to work. He didn't need to say much. He just said that he had received news that someone might assassinate the emperor tonight. Since he was uncertain whether the news was true or not, he didn't dare to make a big fuss about it.
Regardless of whether the news was true or false, the general of the Imperial Guards dared not ignore it, especially since he had vaguely sensed that there was something unusual about the Imperial Guards sent to Furong Garden. The doubts in his heart were infinitely magnified. He decided to lead a team of people with Xiao Changzhen, find a random name, and secretly disperse to gather towards Furong Garden.
They had just gathered when they saw the aggressive "Xiao Changyan" and the corpse of the Jinwu Guard patrolman!
Therefore, the two sides met here and Xiao Changzhen questioned them.
Facing Xiao Changzhen's questioning, "Xiao Changyan" remained calm: "Third brother, why do you slander me with empty words? The situation in Furong Garden is critical, but you don't go with me to rescue the emperor, but delay and stop me from rescuing the emperor. Third brother is the one with ulterior motives..."
"Xiao Changyan" bit back, which further fueled Xiao Changzhen's rage: "Eighth brother, it's never too late to turn back!"
"This is also a gift from my younger brother to my third brother."
It was obvious that the two could not reach an agreement, and the people brought by both sides suspected that the other side had ulterior motives.
The Lingwei Army was ordered by His Majesty to bring Xiao Changyan to rescue the Emperor, so the Lingwei Army naturally believed that they were the ones defending justice.
The Imperial Guards witnessed with their own eyes how "Xiao Changyan" led the Lingwei Army to kill the Jinwu Guard patrolmen. Both sides looked at each other as traitors, and the flames of war were naturally ignited!
Two battles taking place on opposite sides of a wall.
Emperor Youning, who was far away in the main hall, naturally could not hear the battle situation outside Furong Garden. Even if there were people near the outside, they could not break through the battle circle in the main hall and report what was happening outside the garden to His Majesty.
Emperor Youning looked at another group of assassins who were not included in the plan with a serious look in his eyes. He guessed that someone must have heard the news and wanted to take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters and really take the opportunity to assassinate the monarch!
Although he couldn't see the time, based on the time from the start of the "assassination" to now, Emperor Youning could conclude that Xiao Changyan had passed the agreed time!
Perhaps he encountered some obstacles. In this case, his plan might have been fully known by others!
Who is it!
Emperor Youning's gloomy and sharp eyes swept across the hall, passing over Xiao Changqing who was protecting Concubine Rong behind him, and fell on Xiao Changying who was fighting with the assassin. A moment later, he crossed the killing circle and stopped at Shen Yueshan and his son who were also trying their best to deal with the assassin.
He looked for a long time and found that Shen Yueshan and his son did not differentiate between the first batch of assassins he arranged and the second batch of assassins whose origins were unknown. They acted equally quickly, ruthlessly and accurately.
