"I say, Prince, do you want to go up and protect the Emperor?" Ye Li looked teasingly at Mo Xiuyao as she asked softly. Mo Xiuyao raised his brows and smiled. "If I go over now, the Emperor won't think I want to protect the Emperor. He'll think I want to assassinate the Emperor."
Ye Li tilted her head and looked in Mo Jingqi's direction, shaking her head disinterestedly. It was said that the Emperor was a person who was both civil and military. How afraid of death did he have to be to have all the guards upstairs surround him? While keeping an eye on the assassins, he was also keeping an eye on them. It wasn't just Mo Xiuyao. Right now, anyone related to the Prince Ding Mansion would be treated as an assassin.
"Oh, in such a chaotic place, it's not good for the Prince and Princess to be so relaxed, right?" Not far away, Yelu Ye was easily dealing with the assassins. He even had time to speak to Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li with a smile.
Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly. "If we can't even deal with a few assassins, what's the use of the palace guards?"
Yelu Ye laughed loudly. "Prince is right. A few small thieves aren't worth Prince Ding personally dealing with."
"Prince Yelu, please move to the side. The assassins have all been attracted by you. "An San, who was standing in front of Ye Li, casually dealt with an assassin as he spoke expressionlessly. Yelu Ye raised his brows. His gaze paused on the man who had fallen in front of An San. He smiled and said, "Sorry, I don't know why these assassins always like to bother I. The guards of the Prince Ding Mansion are indeed skilled. " The man who had fallen to the ground didn't have a single wound on his body. There was only a very thin wound on his neck. There wasn't even much blood flowing out. However, the assassin didn't even struggle before he fell to the ground and died. Even a professional assassin might not be able to do this better. The man in front of him was only wearing the clothes of an ordinary guard, but he appeared to be completely relaxed and calm in the chaotic crowd.
Watching the chaotic battle, Ye Li raised her eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "The assassin is here for Yelu Ye?" A large portion of these assassins had come for Yelu Ye. This could be because Yelu Ye appeared to be the strongest, but Yelu Ye's attire was completely different from that of the Da Chu State. It was impossible for these assassins not to recognize him.
Mo Xiuyao stared at the handsome man who kept inching closer to them and said, "It might have something to do with him, but … the assassins are all from the Central Plains. No matter if it was Yelu Ye or Yelu Hong, they would not send the Northern Tribes people to cause trouble in the palace. Yelu Ye purposely led the assassins here to test your strength. "Mo Xiuyao's strength was well known throughout the world, there was no need to rely on a few assassins to test his strength. Of course, Yelu Ye could not rely on a few assassins to kill him, so he could only do it for Ye Li who was sitting beside him.
Ye Li smiled and said, "Do I need to make a move in this kind of situation?"
An San in front softly replied, "Of course not. It's just a few assassins. If Wang Fei needs to personally make a move, doesn't that mean that this subordinate's existence is useless?" Ye Li raised her eyes to look at An San and said with a smile, "You are now I Wang Fei's left and right hand, not a Shadow Guard. Can I trouble you not to rush to the frontlines?" Hearing this, An San's face immediately fell. He still liked the days of being a Shadow Guard. If an enemy came, he would just rush up and beat them to a pulp. Unlike now, he had to wait for the Shadow Guards to slip through the net before it was his turn. It just so happened that the Shadow Guards of the Ding Prince's residence were very qualified. Basically, there would not be any fish that would slip through the net.
Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "I feel that he is not trying to test Li's martial arts, but rather Wang Li's courage."
Hearing Mo Xiuyao's words, Ye Li was silent for a long time before leisurely replying, "Marrying into the Ding Prince's residence, could it be that this still does not prove I Wang Fei's courage?" If it were any other girl who had just been annulled by the Prince of Li and then betrothed to Prince Ding, they might as well hang themselves with a piece of white silk. The fact that she was still alive was enough to prove that her courage was not small, okay?
"Ah — —" Not far away, a child's cry could be heard. Princess Changle stared blankly for a moment before suddenly crying out, "It's Zhenning! Princess Ding … "Sitting to the side, Mo Xiuyao waved his hand. Two Shadow Guards withdrew from the battlefield without leaving a trace, quickly flying towards the source of the cry. Ye Li looked at Noble Consort Liu, who was sitting by the Emperor's side, and wrinkled her brows. Even they had heard Princess Zhenning's cry. She did not believe that Noble Consort Liu had not heard it. However, Noble Consort Liu's expression remained as calm as usual. Even the Empress frowned as she glanced in that direction. As the birth mother, she acted as if she had not heard anything. In the past, she only felt that Noble Consort Liu's temperament was cold and untainted. However, looking at her now, she could not help but feel a chill in her heart. A woman who did not even care about the safety of her own daughter, what exactly was she thinking in her heart?
Surrounded by layers of imperial bodyguards, the Empress calmly said a few words to Mo Jingqi. Mo Jingqi raised his head and looked in their direction. Seeing Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li sitting calmly to the side, his eyes darkened. In a clear voice, he said, "Prince Ding, I'll have to trouble you to bring Our Second Princess back." Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly. He stood up and smiled at Ye Li before flying out of the building. With Mo Xiuyao's status, it was fine for him to sit and not do anything. However, if the Emperor personally ordered him not to do anything, then it would be inexcusable. The Empress clearly did not expect that Mo Xiuyao would ask Mo Xiuyao to go save the princess. She stared blankly in the direction of Ye Li, frowning with worry. First, she had to worry about Princess Ding. Her daughter was still young. If Prince Ding was not there to protect her, how could she be at ease? Glancing at Noble Consort Liu who was sitting calmly on the side, the Empress's face darkened for the first time. "Zhen Ning was taken away by the assassins. Noble Consort Liu, aren't you worried at all?"
Noble Consort Liu calmly withdrew her gaze from the outside of the building and said indifferently, "There are so many imperial bodyguards in the palace. Of course, they will bring Zhen Ning back safely. Your Majesty, I'm sorry for making you worry. "
The Empress was so angry that she felt suffocated. She snorted coldly and did not speak anymore. She just kept watching Ye Li and Changle over there. With the Emperor's temper, he would never allow her to send someone to bring Changle over, even if the one in the chaos was his own daughter.
As soon as Mo Xiuyao left, the besieging assassins became fiercer. Obviously, these assassins were afraid that Mo Xiuyao had not done anything yet, so they did not use their full strength. Now that Mo Xiuyao was no longer present, they naturally had to take advantage of the time before he returned to finish off the enemies in front of them. A black-clothed assassin was thrown to the side of Ye Li's feet. Princess Changle, who had a sinister expression on her face, could not help but shriek. Ye Li frowned. Rising, she ordered, "An Er, Qingluan, take two people to protect Princess Changle." An Er looked at Ye Li with disapproval. Princess Changle tightly gripped Ye Li's clothes, unwilling to let go. Although she was still young, having grown up in the palace, Princess Changle's intuition was superior to that of ordinary people. Being by Princess Ding's side made her feel extremely at ease. Ye Li pulled her hand away, softly saying, "Good child. It is very dangerous to be by my side. Follow the two of them to a safe place. "Princess Changle blinked her eyes and gazed at her." Princess Ding, come with me … "
Ye Li smiled faintly and shook her head. She swept a glance at Yelu Ye, who was fighting skillfully. So long as she moved, Yelu Ye would definitely draw the assassins towards her. Since this was the case, it was better to stand here and deal with any changes by remaining unchanged. "The Princess must be obedient. Do not let your Imperial Mother worry, understand?" Princess Changle hesitantly glanced at the nearby Empress, who was nervously watching her. In the end, she obediently nodded her head.
