30: 30. Assassination

30. Assassination

After leaving the Imperial Palace, Xu Qingyan felt that the two mountains hanging on her shoulders were slightly lighter. However, Chu Lin let go too decisively, making her still feel a little upset.She was afraid Chu Lin let her go because she had already calculated the next move and was waiting for them to fall into the trap.1

Ever since she left the Imperial Palace, Xu Qingyan and Lou Yue had been together. Lou Yue had given her a prescription to calm herself down. She had taken it every day, and it had slightly alleviated her entanglement.The two of them seemed to have been together at the bottom of the cliff for a few months, but nothing happened.

Early this morning, Xu Qingyan went to Lou Yue's place as usual. Lou Yue had just sent a patient away. The two of them were sitting in the courtyard playing chess, but Lou Yue had not spoken.

Not long after, the outside suddenly became noisy. Lou Yue Wei Wei smiled and sighed," What should come is finally coming."

The door was pushed open and a group of soldiers quickly surrounded the two of them. The person who entered the room surprised Xu Qingyan.This person wasn't someone else, but a Jiang Rou in the deep palace.Lou Yue's calm expression finally cracked. She frowned as if she could n' t believe her eyes." Why is it you?"

Jiang Rou glanced at Xu Qingyan and replied proudly," At the moment of the great enemy, Divine Doctor Lou wants to send her into the palace to protect her."It was just that it was not easy for me to persuade the emperor to send his enemy out of the palace. How could I allow you to send her back?"You will never have this chance."

Xu Qingyan was puzzled. She didn't understand why Lou Yue had sent her into the palace and tightly gripped Lou Yue's sleeve.He asked," What happened?""Why did you send me back?"

Lou Yue gently patted the back of her hand, intending to explain later.He looked at Jiang Rou indifferently and didn't care. He said," Back when you used Zhao Chen to frame Qingyan, I was suspicious of you. You' re just a depressed harem concubine from your mother's family, so there's no need to place flags in the court.Unless, you had long been secretly colluding with the Shu Liu Jiancheng to support Chu Xuan to become a puppet emperor."Now that the State of Shu has sent troops to harass the border of the State of Chu, I have no choice but to consider the stakes. Sending Qing Yan into the Imperial Palace is the best way to do it now."

"I have to say that you are very smart.Liu Jiancheng promised this one that as long as this one became the Empress Dowager and gave him two cities, he would take Xu Qingyan's life. He didn' t expect to be discovered by you.But it was too late. All of them were my people, so you couldn't escape."As long as you're dead, who knows if I' m the one who did it?"Jiang Rou didn't refute her. Instead, she suddenly looked at Xu Qingyan and said," I have two preparations. You and Chu Lin are very concerned about her, so I poisoned her. Without the antidote, she would n' t have lived for three days."

Lou Yue's expression suddenly changed, but she quickly calmed down and said confidently," I' ve already passed Qingyan's food. You do n' t have this chance."

"I didn't expect you to be so calm at this time."Jiang Rou laughed awkwardly and turned to look at the guard beside him." Let's do it. Clean it up."

Lou Yue grabbed Xu Qingyan's hand and ran out. Neither of them knew martial arts and were instantly stopped by the guards.Seeing that the sword was about to approach, the door of the courtyard was kicked open with a bang.

Xu Qingyan raised her head and glanced at Chu Lin. When she saw that he was standing a few steps away with her, her heart was complicated.After leaving the Imperial Palace, she tried her best to get rid of her relationship with Chu Lin. She did not expect that she would still rely on him to save her today.

Chu Lin eyes were filled with anger, fear, and happiness. Seeing that Xu Qingyan was surrounded by more than ten people, he couldn't hide his anger. He pointed at the Jiang Rou and said," Men, Jiang Rou betray the country through the enemy and execute him on the spot!"

Previously, he had tolerated Jiang Rou between him and Qingyan, but he had long suspected her.Now that she was caught on the spot, she wanted to see how she could quibble.

Jiang Rou immediately panicked: Chu Lin should be negotiating with Shu today. How could he be here?She pulled the guard beside her to stand in front of her. She picked up her skirt and ran back to the courtyard.The black-clothed men who had been arranged by the Liu Jiancheng in the vicinity earlier seized the opportunity to rescue Chu Lin.

In a small courtyard, the three parties were fighting together.

Jiang Rou hadn't forgotten about Xu Qingyan while she was running away. Seeing that Xu Qingyan was about to run out of the courtyard, she rushed forward and grabbed Xu Qingyan. At this moment, the black-clothed man came towards her chest with his sword.She pushed Xu Qingyan out and stabbed her sword into her chest.

Xu Qingyan was still five steps away from the back door. Blood spurted out from her chest, and the pain was unbearable. Two or three times...

Her eyes were covered in blood, and she could only see a lot of people rushing in her direction. The first Chu Lin to rush over supported her body and said something in her ear. However, she was too painful to hear.
