714: Prince Dabao, Throw Down The Gauntlet (2)

Prince Dabao, Throw Down The Gauntlet (2)

Eunuch Li whispered, "I will think of a way to save the Little Princess. Your Majesty, get into the carriage first."0

The Empress took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in her heart as she got into the carriage. The imperial guards and ministers followed from afar, ready to save the Little Highness at any time.

Eunuch Li grabbed Dabao and said fiercely, "Everyone, retreat ten feet! Otherwise, I'll be so frightened that my hand will tremble and cut His Highness!"

Eunuch Wang hurriedly waved his hand. "Retreat, retreat, retreat! All of you, retreat!"

Everyone retreated ten feet, and the guards guarding the door were no exception.

The coachman was someone the Central Palace trusted.

Eunuch Li said, "Don't chase after us. When I escort Her Majesty to a safe place, I'll naturally send His Highness back safely."

Eunuch Li thought to himself, As if I'll believe you!

However, he could not anger this lunatic at this critical juncture. His gaze told Eunuch Wang that he had gone crazy. He did not care about Dabao's life and death. If he could not leave safely, he would drag Dabao down with him.

Dabao's life was much heavier than his.

Everyone could only watch as Eunuch Li carried Dabao into the carriage.

Just as most of his body was in the carriage, an arrow suddenly tore through the air from a side path and made a thin buzzing sound in the air. Eunuch Li's hair stood on end, but before he could react, the arrow pierced his throat.

Everyone was stunned.

Eunuch Wang was shocked. "Your-Your Highness!!!"

A thin figure rode his horse over. With a tap of his toes, he jumped onto the carriage and took Dabao from Eunuch Li's arms before he fell to the ground.

This scene was simply too dangerous. Everyone broke out in cold sweat. When Eunuch Li fell, they thought that the Little Highness would fall down with him. That way, even if he didn't cut himself, he would be injured on the ground.

Fortunately, someone caught it.

Wait, this person was…

Eunuch Wang saw the other party's face clearly and fortunately, he did not come out. Who else could it be but Nangong Yan, who had suddenly rushed out and shot Eunuch Li to death and snatched Dabao?

Nangong Yan was dressed in martial arts clothes and looked valiant and heroic. However, she was seriously ill after all. Not only had she lost weight, but her face was also indescribably pale.

However, there was a decisiveness and coldness in this paleness that no one had seen before.

Nangong Yan had not practiced martial arts for many years. Eunuch Wang had almost forgotten that she had once practiced martial arts with the generals, but her martial arts were not very strong.

Eunuch Wang gritted his teeth. He shouldn't have woken up at this critical juncture. She couldn't have specially rushed over to save His Highness.

Nangong Yan carried Dabao in one hand and stood in the carriage. With the other hand, she threw an invitation into the hand of an imperial guard. "This is my battle invitation. Go back and tell my sister that if she wants the child back, we'll meet at the altar in three days!"

"Hey!" Eunuch Wag was about to call out to her when she whipped the horse and it drove out like a gust of wind.

Eunuch Wang stomped his feet. "What are you waiting for? Chase after her!"

The imperial guards hurriedly chased after him out of the palace gate. However, they were too far away from the palace gate after being threatened by Eunuch Li. Even if they wanted to chase after her, they could not.

Eunuch Wang brought the invitation to Sishui Street.

Yan Jiuchao had already returned.

Shadow Thirteen also returned.

Eunuch Wang told Yan Jiuchao, Yu Wan, Prince Yan, and Xiao Zhenting everything that had happened in the hall in detail. When they heard that Dabao had been kidnapped, everyone's faces were covered in a shadow.

Shadow Thirteen knelt on one knee. "I neglected my duty."

Yan Jiuchao did not say anything to blame him. Instead, he asked, "What happened?"

Shadow Thirteen frowned and said, "I discovered Eunuch Li's actions. I was originally in time to save Dabao, but I was suppressed by an invisible internal energy."

Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, "Asura?"

Not many people could completely suppress Shadow Thirteen with his current strength.

Shadow Thirteen nodded. "At that time, there should be an Asura nearby."

Yu Wan frowned and said, "No wonder Nangong Li hid herself and didn't go to court. So she was waiting here. Was she already prepared to massacre the court? Since Nangong Yan is willing to kill Eunuch Li, Eunuch Li shouldn't be their minion. If Eunuch Li didn't kidnap Dabao, none of the people in the court might have survived."

This matter sounded a little crazy, but the Empress's bloodline had already been forced into a desperate situation. It was not impossible for Nangong Li to do such a disgraceful thing with his viciousness.

Eunuch Wang was dumbfounded. "In that case… it's all thanks to Eunuch Li?"
