A cold light flashed.

Take the death with one sword.

As the sharp sword was about to pierce the young maid's eyebrows.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly space and time seemed to freeze, and the black-clad assassin found that his fairy sword could no longer move forward.

What's going on?

He was shocked.

However, the next moment—

bite!

The sword body collapsed incredibly and turned into countless debris.

The tip of the sword flew backwards and penetrated the throat of the black-clad assassin.

Before the blood was soaring out, a ball of golden flame burst out from his body, which immediately turned into ashes and dissipated in the air.

The little maid looked at everything in front of her in a daze.

At that moment just now, she thought she would definitely die.

The assassin died.

Who saved me?

She gasped in horror and looked around.

The night is quiet and the breeze is swaying, as if nothing has happened.

The palace guards at the gate of Chaiyuan still did not respond.

She opened her eyes wide, and then suddenly realized that her son was in danger. When she rushed to the door, she found that the outside of the door had been locked, and the entire Chaiyuan was also shrouded in the formation and could not go out at all.

"Chen'er..."

The young maid's tears poured down again.

In the long and painful years of the past, she thought she had become accustomed to this kind of life that was despised and ridiculed by countless people, but when her son was taken away, she realized that there were still many sufferings in life that you could not bear no matter how strong you were.

The assassin's words made her realize that although her son was not dead, there would be danger.

But she herself seems to have no ability to change anything.

Who can save them, mother and son?

She was sad from this, looking at the full moon in the sky, her thoughts suddenly became clearer.

Because she suddenly realized that in this empty palace, there was only one person who could save him from the black-clothed assassin just now.

Hope light suddenly surged in her eyes.

If that person, since he had taken action to save her, might he be willing to save his son?

If that person is willing to take action, all problems can be solved easily.

The young maid could not walk out of the Chaiyuan, so she had to kneel down long from the direction towards [Xiaoyaoju], folded her hands together, and begged loudly in the most pious posture.

"Your Highness Prince Mu, did you save me?"

"Please be merciful and save Chen'er. He is still a child and doesn't know anything. We mother and son do not seek wealth and honor. As long as he can live, no matter what the price is, I am willing to pay..."

"Please."

"Your Highness, please..."

But no matter how she begged, Xiaoyaoju did not react at all.

The young maid is still kneeling.

He prayed and begged with one-tenth of luck in his heart.

Tears wet the ground in front of her.

She kowtowed, her forehead broke and she bleeded.

Blood mixed with tears, covered with the beautiful and gentle white jade face.

...

...

It's late at night.

Zheng Mansion.

The courtyard is deep.

The shock on the face of the governor Zheng Yuan gradually disappeared under the dim light, turning into an unprecedented solemnity, and slowly asked: "Are you sure?"

A banished immortal guard kneeling on the ground said respectfully: "The person who responded is here to repay you. When the assassin died, the golden immortal fire burned his body and instantly turned into ashes. Just like the battle in the imperial city that day, there was no other explanation except that one took action."

Zheng Yuan's figure shook.

This is bad news that cannot be bad.

He forced himself to calm down and quickly analyzed the possibilities of various situations in his mind.

Could it be the one who wants to protect the mother and son?

If that is the case, let alone their Zheng family, even if the four major families of the Imperial City unite, they will not be able to withstand that person's finger.

"No, that person does not have to protect the mother and son."

Zheng Yuan thought about it and suddenly noticed something else.

In addition to the assassin, there were several other experts from the Zheng State House, who were outside the support, and some guards sent by the queen to cooperate.

If anyone wants Prince Baochen and his son, it will not be the only assassin who dies.

Those masters who witnessed the death of the assassin outside, as well as the dozen palace guards guarding Chaiyuan, could not survive in the anger of that person.

After all, that person's method is very cruel.

The Caochuan Mansion coalition forces that day were flowing blood into a river under the imperial city. How terrible?

“There is only one explanation.”

"Chaiyuan is too close to [Xiaoyaoju], and the assassin made an attack to disturb the Qingjing of that person, so he was killed!"

"This is reasonable. I was eager for quick success and instant benefits, and had no consideration, and rushed to kill someone near [Xiaoyaoju]. It was like slapping that person in the face and killing the assassin. It was just a signal."

Zheng Yuan's thoughts were so loud that he gradually calmed down.

At first, when he heard the news, he was indeed scared by the reputation of that person.

After careful analysis, I realized that the situation was not so bad.

"You go down."

Zheng Yuan waved his hand.

The chief guard retreated.

After a moment, Zheng Yuan asked slowly towards the shadow in the dark room: "Can the news be found out clearly? Why is Your Majesty eager to become a crown prince?"

In the darkness.

"All signs are judging, Your Majesty is ill, I'm afraid...it won't last long."

A dark voice came.

This time, Zheng Yuan's face, which was not old but covered with knife marks, did not appear too shocked as before.

He stared at the undecided light in front of him, looked for a while, and then said, "No wonder, no wonder... Is this matter related to that person?"

In the darkness, the dark voice was silent for a while before continuing: "That person is unparalleled to the current emperor. If he doesn't do such a thing, he is afraid that the poison that the eunuch Li Sun planted in His Majesty's body will be attacked at this time, and even that person is helpless."

"well."

Zheng Yuan sighed.

After pausing, he seemed to be muttering to himself: "Sometimes, I really hope that my Zheng family also sent someone to attend the sword-winding conference at the Sword Forging Pavilion... Your Majesty can meet that person in this life, which can be considered as consuming all the blessings of this sound."

In the darkness, the dark sound was silent.

Zheng Yuan took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

The next moment, his whole body suddenly became sharp, as if it was a sharp sword originally hidden in the scabbard. It suddenly unsheathed and its sharpness revealed. The entire secret room had a sudden feeling of light.

"Haha, since he is loyal to His Majesty, it's best. No matter how strong he is, he is just a minister after all, and he can go wherever he can go."

Zheng Yuan stood up and smiled and said, "Our opportunity has come. Let's continue and follow the plan."

...

Almost the same time.

In the secret hall of Gao Mansion, one of the four major families, the head of the family, Goldman Sachsway, also received news of the death of the black-clad assassin.
