I looked up at him.

His face was not too gentle, his eyes were red, and his eyes could not hide his cruelty, but his voice was a little hoarse, and even with a strange tenderness in this hoarseness, he repeated it again when I looked at him-

"Don't be afraid."

“…”

At this moment, I couldn't speak and didn't know what I could say. I just felt his hand gently patting his back, and the originally tense breath finally slowly came to a slower level.

But this relaxation immediately felt a severe pain on my shoulders rushing like a tide, which made me unable to help but let out a low voice.

He immediately stared at me with wide eyes: "Qingying!"

Li'er next to him heard his voice, turned around and saw me sweating profusely in pain, and hurried to me and said carefully: "Mom, how are you doing?"

I gritted my teeth and shook my head vigorously.

Just as I was struggling with the pain of the broken bones on my shoulders, the sound of swords outside slowly subsided. I subconsciously looked up and heard footsteps walking outside the closed door. After hearing it, the door was knocked loudly.

A voice sounded: "Master, the assassin has been captured."

“…”

"Please tell me."

“…”

The person behind me had not spoken yet, but I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

The assassin has been captured, which means we are in no danger.

I turned around and looked at Li'er, who was standing beside me, with a look of terror on her face. She was obviously frightened, but as long as there was no danger and no one could hurt her, it would be better than anything else.

Pei Yuanhao was not moved at all, and he didn't even breathe a sigh of relief as the guards around him. He just gently supported me and asked me to sit on a chair, protecting one hand behind my shoulders until I sat down smoothly.

He looked down at me and said, "Is that okay?"

I was silent for a moment and nodded.

He nodded, and then said nothing, but stood up straight, turned around and walked out.

Through the shaking bead curtain, I saw him walking to the door. Under the steps were the guards who had fought to capture the assassin. Each of them had a little blood on their faces, and some were even injured. They grabbed five or six people covered in blood and pushed them hard. All of them knelt under the steps and kneeled in front of Pei Yuanhao.

Pei Yuanhao stood in front of them with his hands behind his back.

I could only see his tall back, not see his expression, but I could also feel the cold temperature emanating from his body from his back.

The arrested assassins, covered in blood, struggled to look up at him.

I thought Pei Yuanhao would say something, but he didn't say anything, just holding his hands behind his back, looking at them calmly.

But, just like this, five of the six assassins began to tremble. The faces that were originally covered in blood and looked extremely terrifying showed timidity. They all lowered their heads to avoid his gaze. There was only one person, who seemed stronger than others, and they still looked up to meet his gaze.

Then--

I almost clearly heard him snorting coldly.

At this moment, I suddenly felt uneasy and almost subconsciously wanted to reach out to hug Li'er, but the severe pain from my shoulders immediately stopped my movements, and even made me tremble for a while. The next moment, I heard Pei Yuanhao's cold voice as ice-like as ice-like-

"Kill five of them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the guards standing behind the assassins pulling out the sword that had been sheathed, with blood on it. When the steel knife was raised, the blood and the cold light of the sharp blade formed a terrifying mark of light in the air.

The knife fell with your hands!

The next moment, blood sprayed out and several heads fell to the ground.

I couldn't go to see the miserable appearance outside, but looked at my daughter beside me. There was no expression on her face, but her pale face, her eyes that were particularly wide-opened were particularly dark, as if the sunlight outside could not shine into her eyes because she stood here.

I gritted my teeth and said, "Li'er!"

She seemed to have not heard it, and she didn't move.

I regained my voice again: "Li'er!"

"..." She was quiet for a while before slowly turning her head and looking at me with her dark eyes.

I gritted my teeth and tried to make my voice gentle and peaceful: "Come here, come to my mother's arms."

“…”

She paused for a moment before taking a step forward, stretched out her cold hands and hugged my waist, and automatically buried her face in my arms.

I lowered my head, pressed my chin against the top of her head, feeling a slight trembling.

I don't know if it's hers or mine.

When I raised my head again, Pei Yuanhao still didn't look back.

There was only one kneeling in front of him. He did not avoid his gaze when he was just looking at him. At this moment, he looked at his companion into a headless corpse, and blood had sprayed him all over. He looked at Pei Yuanhao hard, but there was still no fear.

Pei Yuanhao said coldly: "Corrested him."

"yes."

The guards took the order and immediately grabbed the man and took him away.

It was not until this time that he turned around and slowly walked back.

At this time, even if he didn't speak, his evil spirit was enough to suffocate the oppression around him. The teahouse owner and those guys who were already in horror had fainted several times.

Then, he slowly walked in.

Every step he took was very steadily, but I seemed to see that every step he took was left with a bloody footprint.

Finally, he stopped at the door outside the private room.

The pearl curtain was still shaking gently, covering his gaze, but there was still a sharp look in his eyes through the gaps of the pearl curtain.

I raised my hand and had a little strength to protect Li'er in my arms.

Then look at him.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He looked at Li'er, who was trembling in my arms, looked at my eyes again, and was silent for a long time, and said hoarsely: "She must accept it."

“…”

Yes, your daughter must accept everything about you.

As the princess they mentioned, sooner or later, they will face all this one day.

so--

I couldn't speak, so I slowly lowered my head and hugged Li'er's thin body tighter.

This assassination came more violently and had a greater impact than yesterday's one.

Speaking of which, anyone thinks that after a assassination was just carried out and the assassination failed, those people will definitely be like frightened birds, unable to avoid it, and they will no longer risk being discovered or even cleaned up, and immediately plan a second assassination against the emperor the next day.

Unexpectedly, they did it!

But what was even more unexpected was that Pei Yuanhao was not disturbed by that kind of thinking at all. Even after just experiencing an assassination, he still went out to play with Lier, and did not relax at all vigilance. He took strict protection against this assassination.

But—this accident was the butcher.

It was Gu Ping's recklessness that allowed him to expose the escorts placed among the civilians in advance, which caused chaos in the Imperial Guards and gave those people the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Fortunately, no more damage was done.

Greater...hard...

The body outside the door had been dragged away, leaving blood all over the floor. I frowned slightly, lowered my head, looked at me lying in my arms, and slowly raised my head, looking at me with confusion and fear in my eyes.

"mother……"

I said softly, "It's all right."

“…”

"It's all right."

I wanted to reach out to touch her hair, but as soon as I raised my hand, the severe pain in my shoulder hit me again.

"Mom!" When Li'er saw my painful appearance, he immediately said, "What's wrong with you?"

She hugged me anxiously, but accidentally touched my shoulders, which made me feel so painful that I was sweating profusely and couldn't even speak. At this time, Pei Yuanhao walked up from behind, reached out and gently supported her shoulders, and said, "Li'er, don't touch your mother again, she's in pain."

"ah?!"

Li'er suddenly woke up and looked up at me. Pei Yuanhao was already holding her arm and gently helped her aside. Then he walked to me, leaned down, and gently reached out to my shoulder: "Does it still hurt?"

I was afraid that he would touch my shoulder, but his hand stopped a little distance from my shoulder. He looked at the cold sweat that kept falling from his forehead, and his eyes became fierce in an instant. I even heard the sound of his teeth grinding, and his hand slowly clenched into a fist.

Even if he didn't touch me, I could feel that strong murderous intent clearly.

I subconsciously said: "You—"

With just this sound, it seemed as if the tide suddenly faded away, and the murderous intent in his eyes also retreated in an instant.

He looked at me who was struggling to move and said, "Don't move."

“…”

"Maybe the bone was damaged."

“…”

Before I could speak, he stood up again and said coldly: "Come."

Wu Yanqiu immediately walked up with several people from the Imperial Guards: "Master."

"Come to me all the nearby doctors immediately, as well as doctors from the state prefecture!"

“…”

Feeling a hint of hesitation among those people, he said coldly: "Immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yanqiu no longer dared to hesitate. He quickly turned around and waved his hand. The guards took the order and hurriedly walked out. Wu Yanqiu stood at the door and looked at their backs, turned around, looked at the small teahouse, and the teahouse owner and the servant who had become a frightened bird, frowned, and slowly walked back.

He walked to Pei Yuanhao and whispered: "Master, this place may not be safe."

"Please also ask the master—"

Before he finished speaking, Pei Yuanhao reached out to block it.

He didn't even look at him, but just stared at my pale face and the sweat beads on my forehead, and said coldly: "Please deal with her injury first."

"But--"

Just when Wu Yanqiu was about to say anything else, I suddenly raised my head and looked out the door.
