They want their own lives!
Han Yan was shocked. She thought about threats and blackmail, but she didn't expect that she would take her own life so directly! Who among the great sect would be so bold as to take his own life at the feet of the Emperor in public.
Soon enough, Han Yan twisted his body, stabbed with his backhand, and cut a finger-long blood mark on the neck of the man in black who was rushing towards him. After all, this was a counterattack in panic, and the opponent was obviously someone who had been trained. After just a moment's pause, it struck at him again. Ji Lan and Shu Hong were startled, and both rushed forward, trying to block Han Yan's blow with themselves.
In fact, everyone knows that so what if Ji Lan and Shu Hong really blocked the sword for Han Yan. They can block the first and second swords, but what about the third and fourth swords? Ji Lan and Shu Hong were shouting so loudly, but no one was around them. It was probably a bad day. No one comes to save me. Do I really want to die here and die under random swords? How can I be willing to do so! no way!
At the critical moment, he saw a sharp long sword rushing out of the slanting stab, and he directly opened the daggers in front of him. However, in just a short moment, the sword light overflowed, and Han Yan didn't even see anything clearly, he saw the sword in front of him. Blood spurted from the neck of the man in black. His body was pulled back violently. His back was pressed into a warm embrace. A cold hand covered his eyes. He vaguely heard the echo of someone's sigh. Listening to his own ears, Han Yan wanted to turn his head away, but in the end he held back.
"Miss!" Seeing that the danger was over and several people in black fell into a pool of blood, Ji Lan and Shu Hong looked at her nervously. Just as Han Yan was about to speak, he felt a light behind him and the stranger stepped back. In two steps, she left his arms.
Han Yan wanted to turn his head, but a man in black who was lying on the ground in a pool of blood suddenly jumped up, and the knife in his hand struck Han Yan instantly. Han Yan did not expect this, and the man in black left Han Yan. It was really too close. There was no way Han Yan could avoid it at such a distance. The people behind him didn't seem to expect it. The long sword in his hand was unsheathed. Unfortunately, at the last moment, he suddenly deflected and missed it. However, Even so, the man actually rushed over and protected Han Yan in his arms. However, his body was hit by the knife, and the knife mark was deeply embedded in his waist. The man in black was stunned and stood down. In a moment, the sword had pierced his chest. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Han Yan, who was safe and sound, and fell straight down.
Han Yan suddenly turned his head, looked at the person who saved him from fire and water, and asked anxiously: "How are you?"
It was at this time that Han Yan saw the appearance of the man. He was wearing a black robe and had a large piece of wetness on his waist. He thought it was blood, but nothing could be seen. But his face was covered by a mask, and nothing could be seen. The man staggered slightly, just very slightly, but Han Yan still noticed him. Facing Han Yan's worried gaze, the masked man's voice couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry: "It doesn't matter." His voice was low, not like that person. Han Yan paused for a moment: "May I ask your name? I cannot repay you for such a great kindness."
The masked man turned his head and looked at her quietly for a while, then suddenly flew away. Only Han Yan was left standing there, and Ji Lan stepped forward and asked urgently: "Miss, are you okay?"
Han Yan shook his head, and his eyes fell on the men in black who fell on the ground. He suddenly took a few steps forward and squatted down in front of the men in black. He reached into the clothes of the men in black and was groping for something. .
"Miss!" Ji Lan exclaimed, "Let's leave here quickly. What will happen if these men in black come later?"
Shu Hong watched Han Yan's movements, thought for a while, then walked to another man in black and squatted down, quietly imitating Han Yan's way of groping for something with her hands.
After a while, Han Yan stood up, his expression solemn as never before: "Let's go."
"Miss..." Shu Hong and Ji Lan stood up. Seeing Han Yan's expression change, they looked at each other and followed.
After returning to Qingqiu Garden, Han Yan sat down on the bed. Ji Lan and Shu Hong did not dare to speak. When Han Yan was thinking about a problem, they did not dare to disturb him. The way Han Yan was thinking today looked like not too good. Did she discover something
I don't know how much time passed, until the oil in the oil lamp was almost exhausted, Han Yan sighed deeply, picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip.
This move meant that something was coming to light. Ji Lan and Shu Hong had been holding back their questions for a long time. This time, it was not the usually impatient Ji Lan who asked the question first, but Shu Hong couldn't help but ask: "Ms. So, did you find something?"
Han Yan smiled bitterly: "No, I just discovered that we are in big trouble."
Ji Lan didn't understand the meaning of Han Yan's words: "Miss... I don't understand."
Han Yan shook his head: "Do you know where the men in black today are from?"
Ji Lan and Shu Hong looked at each other and shook their heads.
"He's from the royal family." Han Yan sighed: "What did you think of?"
"Could it be... the Queen Mother?" Shu Hong boldly guessed. Ji Lan was startled, looked around, and then complained: "Keep your voice down, what if someone hears you?"
Han Yan shook his head: "If it were the Queen Mother, there wouldn't be such trouble. It's the Emperor."
"Your Majesty?" Ji Lan and Shu Hong exclaimed in surprise, both of them looked a bit incredulous. Indeed, the Emperor and Han Yan had no enmity, even when Fu Yunxi had a dispute with Han Yan about marrying Han Yan. , there was only a little dissatisfaction, and this dissatisfaction quickly disappeared as Fu Yunxi protected Han Yan. How could he kill Han Yan in such a painful way now. Even if you want to please the Princess of Xirong, you don't have to do what you are doing now. Besides, as a majestic king of a country, there is no need to please the Princess of Xirong. But where did Han Yan offend the current emperor
Han Yan sighed deeply. She had found the imperial guard's token on the man in black before. The token would not be fake, and it would not be someone else's fault for the emperor. Because the movements of those men in black were indeed very familiar and neat. Han Yan was not unfamiliar with this movement. When he entered the palace, he had seen the imperial guards beside the emperor making such movements. No one can mobilize the imperial guards except the emperor himself. When this thought appeared in his mind, Han Yan's heart suddenly went cold. The emperor had murderous intentions towards him, but why
The first possibility is that Fu Yunxi wants to marry Princess Xirong, but the emperor has previously issued an imperial edict to marry Fu Yunxi. Now he can only issue another imperial edict to abolish himself and give Irina the status of Princess Xuanqing. , but in this way, the emperor becomes a person who goes back on his word. For a king, losing trust is a very big thing, especially those in power, who will do everything possible to erase the stain on their appearance in front of everyone. . In order to prevent his ministers and the people from talking about him not being a man of his word, the emperor simply asked someone to kill him. Then, using the reason that he died in an accident, he could find another princess for Fu Yunxi as a matter of course, and she would not be left behind. tongue. This statement is indeed reasonable, but for some reason, Han Yan just feels that the emperor will not kill him for this reason. However, if it were not for this reason, what else could it be
