"The carriage is stuck in it. I'm afraid it will take some time. Please don't be impatient." the rain keeps falling on the little boy's coir raincoat, which looks like the rain is not small.

"I see. Hurry up. Don't surprise the Empress Dowager." Liu Ruyan is still worried about the Empress Dowager. This rainy weather will always make people feel dangerous.

A bad feeling rose in the bottom of my heart. Before thinking about it, I saw a lot of people in black rushed out on both sides of the hillside, all holding long knives, and some even jumped down directly and killed the bodyguard.

"There are assassins, protect the empress dowager, protect the empress --" several boys guarding in front of the carriage shouted, and immediately put out a battle and surrounded the carriage to prevent people in black from rushing to the carriage.

But Liu Ruyan saw that there were not a few people in black. Their purpose was naturally to run with Liu Ruyan later.

"No, we have to find the Empress Dowager. We can't stay here for a long time." Liu Ruyan bit his teeth. These assassins came prepared and could only sit and wait to die if they continued to stay here.

Seeing Liu Ruyan coming down, a young man panicked: "madam, why are you coming down? It's dangerous outside. Get back to the car quickly."

"Help the Empress Dowager down and escort us away." although Liu Ruyan was flustered, he could only keep calm on his face. With a calm voice, Liu Ruyan lifted his skirt and walked in the direction of the Empress Dowager's carriage.

"Empress..." the young man shouted quickly. Seeing a man in black rushing over, he immediately blocked people away and escorted Liu Ruyan behind Liu Ruyan.

He helped the Empress Dowager down with several boys. At this time, the people in black had killed more than half of the bodyguards, and the number was increasing. Seeing a few bodyguards, they would be overwhelmed.

"Empress dowager, let's go up the mountain!" Liu Ruyan shouted, and then ordered a young fellow nearby to say, "go up the mountain quickly and ask the abbot master to bring someone to help. Go quickly!"

The Empress Dowager is old and must not walk fast. If several people go like this, they will be caught up sooner or later.

"Yes!" the young man answered and tried his best to block the people in black in front of him. With a jump of lightness skill, he jumped out and ran towards the mountain.

"This......" the Empress Dowager was pale and could only walk as soon as possible with the help of old Mammy and Liu Ruyan, and her voice was trembling.

It rained harder and harder. Even if they ran away, they walked very hard. They were drenched without coir raincoats.

The little boy put on the only coir raincoat for the Empress Dowager and protected her all the way.

But soon the people in black caught up. Liu Ruyan only felt the shadow in front of him, and saw a man in black fall in front of him. The blade shook his eyes and went straight towards the Empress Dowager.

"Empress Dowager be careful -" Liu Ruyan shouted fiercely, but it was too late to push the Empress Dowager away. At the same time, Liu Ruyan could only step forward and block it with his body.

The sword went along Liu Ruyan's arm. Liu Ruyan immediately felt pain. The boy reacted, beat back the man in black in front of him, and kicked him over.

But the man in black had excellent martial arts and easily dodged. He kicked the boy away and turned to Liu Ruyan and the Empress Dowager.

Hong'er trembled with fear and didn't know what to do. Liu Ruyan held a short dagger in his hand. The rain on his face fell down along his hair, and the whole man's hands were shaking.

At the critical moment, a Buddhist staff appeared in front of him and blocked the sword in time. Liu Ruyan looked back and saw a monk in cassock and coir hat standing on his side, turned his left hand and struck the man in black on the chest.

The man in black retreated a few steps and vomited a mouthful of blood. Seeing many monks following behind the abbot, he could only take a defensive posture with both hands, retreated a few steps and said loudly, "retreat!"

"Empress, are you all right, empress!" hong'er was so frightened that she almost cried when she saw the wound on Liu Ruyan's arm seeping blood.

Liu Ruyan waved his hand to show comfort, nodded slightly to the abbot and said, "thank you, abbot."

"It's the poor monk who came late to help. Please ask the Empress Dowager and empress huifei to atone for their sins. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Please go up the mountain first."

The party hurried up the mountain. Liu Ruyan finally couldn't support it and fainted. The abbot looked at the wound, sighed and said he wanted to scrape the bone and heal the wound.

The Empress Dowager was surprised: "scratch the bone and heal the wound?"

"The sword is poisonous. There is no other way," said the abbot.

But everything was important. The Empress Dowager didn't dare to make a hasty decision. She only looked at hong'er around Liu Ruyan and was very worried: "what can I do..."

"Why is it so serious? My mother's body is weak. If she cures her wounds, I'm afraid it will cost her half her life!" hong'er was naturally worried. At this time, her eyes were red and turned to look at the abbot.

But the abbot just lowered his head and didn't speak.

Soon, Liu Ruyan woke up. The wound was simply treated and had not been detoxified.

But the abbot was worried: "the wound can't be ignored like this. If it is allowed to develop, I'm afraid that the poison will enter the lungs and the medicine stone will have no cure..."

He told Liu Ruyan the importance of the situation. Liu Ruyan gritted his teeth and said, "it doesn't hurt. The abbot just does it."

"This......" the Empress Dowager looked at Liu Ruyan, and her eyes revealed deep concern.

At this time, the news of the assassination of Liu Ruyan and his party had also spread to the palace. Lian Chengming heard it and immediately wanted to go out of the palace.

Qin Jiayan was in the main hall. Seeing Lian Chengming's worried appearance, he stepped forward. He looked indifferent and had a cold voice: "Your Majesty, the assassin knows the whereabouts of the Empress Dowager. At this time, he may be lying in ambush somewhere, waiting for your majesty to go."

"Please don't act rashly, your majesty. You should focus on the overall situation."

Qin Jiayan's voice was a little hoarse, which was different from his crisp voice before. Lian Chengming frowned: "the little prince is cold, why is his voice so strange?"

"It's just cold, your majesty doesn't need to worry." Qin Jiayan was stunned for a moment, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, but even if he returned to normal, he still faintly returned to lianchengming.

"Your worry is not unreasonable. In that case, the little prince will personally lead the escort up the mountain to protect the Empress Dowager and Princess Hui."

"Yes." Qin Jiayan did not hesitate, but happily agreed to come down, turned and left.

Lian Chengming's eyes narrowed slightly. Looking at Qin Jiayan's back, he always felt some unspeakable strangeness.

I hope he thinks too much.

In Yunhua palace, Lin Jinxiu also heard the news. She was only slightly surprised and said, "assassinated?"

"Yes, I heard that Princess Hui was seriously injured and there was no doctor in the temple on the mountain. I'm afraid it's more or less bad this time." Honglan raised her mouth slightly and said with Lin Jinxiu.
