From being unable to see his own fingers until the first ray of benevolent light finally appeared on the horizon, the fifth wave of assassinations that he had imagined did not come.
Looking at the precious ray of white in the sky, She Yan's eyes widened little by little. He shook Tianwen's shoulder next to him in surprise and joy, "Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Look, isn't it dawn? Isn't it dawn? "
Tianwen was stopping the bleeding from his wounds to prevent his body from becoming a dry corpse. When he saw the luxurious ray of light, he was so excited that he let out a long sigh. He lay on the ground and hammered down with his fist, "Damn it, it's finally dawn! I've finally made it through the night! "
Even Xiahou Qing could not help but loosen his tense shoulders and let out a long sigh of relief. This night, they had all endured too much. Everyone had reached their limits.
Jiu Si was also exhausted with countless wounds. Just as he was about to relax for a moment, he suddenly said, "Could this be Empress Cao's trick? She deliberately waited for us to slack off and then sent a wave of surprise attacks to catch us off guard?"
Tianwen frowned, "It can't be? Even if she's evil and vicious, she's still the mother of the nation. She can't go back on her words. Last night, we agreed that as long as we stay here for the night, we'll let Eldest Miss Ning come back at dawn. If we go back on our words, won't our words be treated as farts, and we will lose all our face? "
Jiu Si said, "No matter what, since we have endured until now, there is nothing wrong with being more careful. Don't talk, concentrate, calm down, and wait a little longer."
"Okay."
The rain had slowly stopped, leaving only the dense floating water vapor hovering in the air. It surrounded the Weiyang Palace until it was illusory and indistinguishable. In the faint ray of light, Jiu Si noticed that Xiahou Qing's lips were unusually pale. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Master, how are you? If you can't hold on, this subordinate will immediately take you out of the palace. Anyway, it's already morning. We've already fulfilled our promise to stay the night. Whether the Empress is willing or not, she will let you go. "
Xiahou Qing took the handkerchief he handed over and spat out a mouthful of blood. Because of this mouthful of blood, his face strangely became ruddy, and he even looked a little healthier. He stubbornly said, "There's no hurry. I won't die for the time being. If I don't personally receive her people, I won't be able to feel at ease."
Since Xiahou Qing insisted on doing so, they could only continue to wait. When the glimmer of light gradually bloomed on the horizon, Jin Wu raised his third leg and scratched under his wing. He completely woke up from his sleep and spread out his new fluff. Cai Bin, who served the Empress, finally arrived with her people. She held her chin high and sneered, "You are indeed the Heir of Xiahou. Four assassinations in one night failed to take your lives. What a pity. However, our Empress will not go back on her words. You have won this round. I'll return the person to you. Hurry up and take him away. "
As she spoke, she raised her chin behind her. Several palace maids carried out a person from behind. The person was lying on a wooden board. Water dripped from the board to the ground. It was as if the person had just been drenched in the heavy rain like them. It also seemed like he had just been fished out of the water. He was quiet and silent. Only a piece of white cloth covered him from head to toe.
Seeing that person, the three people's expressions changed. She Yan's face turned pale subconsciously and he gasped.
Xiahou Qing sensed that something was wrong. Even the corners of his lips trembled, "What happened? What happened to Xiaoshu? What did you all see? " With three consecutive questions, the Heir of Xiahou, who was usually calm and composed, lost his composure.
Cai Bin raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Whether he's dead or not, won't you know when you come over?"
