Chapter 516: Survival
"All of you, get out of here!" Xi Jiangyue picked up a piece of debris from the ground and pressed it to her throat. "Even if the Emperor of Yunzhao wants to kill me, he should follow the rules and put me in the Heavenly Prison first, then execute me! If you force me, I will kill myself right now. If a princess dies in the hands of you Dragon Shadow Guards, do you think the Emperor will offend my father for you?"
After hearing this, the Dragon Shadow Guards had to stop.
Xi Jiangyue's palm had been cut by the sharp porcelain shards. She was blinded by the pain, but she still stood there stubbornly: "Everyone, step back!"
The Dragon Shadow Guards looked at each other, and ultimately did not dare to take the risk of offending Xi Jiangyue, so they slowly retreated.
"Princess, your hand, your hand...!" A Yan came up anxiously. She looked at Xi Jiangyue's bloody face and cried even more sadly.
"Don't cry, go and bring our people here, we'll wait together." Xi Jiangyue said, her hand tightly holding the porcelain without letting go.
"Yes, I'll go right away. Even if we have to die, we'll die together." A Yan hurriedly put on a piece of clothing and went out to find the wet nurse and others.
Soon, all the people brought by Xi Jiangyue were guarding here.
"You have seen that now that things have come to this, I am destined to be a burden to you. However, I swear to protect you until the end. Let's work together and strive to live as long as possible." Xi Jiangyue said to everyone with tears in her eyes.
"I would rather die than follow the princess!" A Yan led everyone to kneel down and kowtow.
Xi Jiangyue rejected everyone's suggestion to protect her.
She moved the bench to the door and sat there waiting.
There was a bolt on the door. If someone broke in, she would be the first person to be killed.
She was not afraid of death, she just hoped that after the person who came to kill her, they would not touch her confidants.
Xi Jiangyue stared at the door intently and waited for the entire night.
The next morning, Xi Jiangyue heard a noise coming from downstairs.
"Here they come! They are coming!" The servants were very nervous because they had not slept for a whole day and night. Immediately, one of them started shouting uncontrollably.
"No, don't be afraid. We will be loyal to the princess even if we die!"
"We would rather die than surrender. Let these people see the backbone of our Xijiang Kingdom!"
"Someone is coming." Xi Jiangyue once again clenched the porcelain fragments in her hand.
The wound from yesterday was cut open again by the fragments. The pain made Xi Jiangyue sober and made her clearly realize that she was still alive.
She didn't want to die, she wanted to live as long as possible.
boom--!
Someone banged on the door from outside, and the bolt on it shook violently, almost falling off.
Xi Jiangyue waited silently.
Once, twice, three times.
Until the last moment, the door was hit, the bolt broke, and a figure rushed in.
Xi Jiangyue closed her eyes and stabbed the fragment in her hand towards the other person's heart.
"Ouch!" The man's clear voice sounded with surprise, and he amplified his voice: "Xi Jiangyue, are you trying to murder your husband?"
Xi Jiangyue opened her eyes tremblingly and found that the porcelain fragments in her hand failed to kill the other person, but only scratched the other person's sleeve.
Bei Yingchen pulled up his half-dangling sleeves and smiled at Xi Jiangyue: "I picked out my best clothes just to see you. And you treat me like this? Are you worthy of me?"
The porcelain piece in Xi Jiangyue's hand fell, her throat choked, and she threw herself into Bei Yingchen's arms.
Bei Yingchen was flattered and didn't know where to put his hands. He could only let Xi Jiangyue hold him: "Sorry, I'm late. Are you okay?"
"I, I'm fine..." Xi Jiangyue said, and suddenly felt dizzy and fainted in Bei Yingchen's arms.
"Yue'er!" Bei Yingchen pulled Xi Jiangyue up, and only then discovered the wound on her hand.
Xi Jiangyue was still in shock and before she could react, her hand was firmly grasped by Bei Yingchen.
"Why is the injury so serious?" Bei Yingchen discovered that the wound on Xi Jiangyue's hand was so deep that the bone was visible, almost cutting off her entire palm.
"Someone, come and get the medicine!" Bei Yingchen turned around and shouted behind him.
Xi Jiangyue's heart was beating very fast, and she let Bei Yingchen bandage her wound quickly.
"Your injuries are very serious. The medicine I carry with me can only stop your bleeding temporarily. Come, I will take you to the Regent's Palace... No, I will take you to the National God's Palace and ask Mo Bao to treat your wounds." Bei Yingchen was anxious and subconsciously wanted to take Xi Jiangyue to his own house.
But he thought that Xi Jiangyue was still an unmarried woman and it was not appropriate for her to go directly to his house.
In contrast, it would be more appropriate to go to the National God's Palace.
"The National God has not yet awakened. How can I disturb him by going to the National God's Palace?" Xi Jiangyue mentioned Yi Qianhuan, and her eyes shook slightly.
"The eldest has regained consciousness." Seeing Xi Jiangyue looking at him with a look of disbelief, Bei Yingchen quickly said, "Everything I said is true! It's because the eldest came to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor after regaining consciousness that I was able to come and save you. The eldest said that the reason she vomited blood and fainted at the palace banquet was due to her own problems, and had nothing to do with you."
"Is your national god sick? Otherwise, why would he vomit blood?" Xi Jiangyue asked with concern.
"I don't know the details, we will know when the boss comes back from the palace. Let's go, I will take your people to the National God's Palace first." Bei Yingchen said.
Xi Jiangyue finally felt relieved when she got here and followed Bei Yingchen.
A moment later, in the Imperial Garden.
Yi Qianhuan and Bei Yunting sat together in the pavilion.
Bei Yunting's gaze remained fixed on Yi Qianhuan. "The State God has just regained consciousness. Is he still feeling unwell? These ignorant slaves actually dared to serve the State God strong tea. How foolish!"
"Your Majesty, there's no need to be angry." Yi Qianhuan calmly picked up the cup of strong tea on the table and drank it. "I'm feeling much better now. It's just a cup of strong tea. My body can handle it."
"The National God has recovered so quickly. You were vomiting blood and dying at the palace banquet that day, but you are full of energy in less than three days. I really don't know what kind of magic medicine Chi Lian gave you to bring you back to life?" Bei Yunting said with a sneer.
Yi Qianhuan seemed unable to hear the sarcasm in Bei Yunting's words: "Your Majesty, I have recovered my health, but you don't seem very happy."
"The national god is the foundation of the Yunzhao Kingdom. Everyone says that as long as the national god is there, our Yunzhao Kingdom will be peaceful and prosperous. The national god is so important to our Yunzhao Kingdom, how could I not care about the national god." Bei Yunting said with a smile.
"I am loyal to the emperor. Now the soul replacement has not been completed yet, so I naturally cannot go back on my word. Your Majesty, we can carry out the soul replacement in three days." Yi Qianhuan reminded.
"The State God's body cannot bear any more strain. How about this? I will find a helper for the State God to assist him in the soul exchange plan." Bei Yunting clapped his hands as he spoke, "Go and ask Master Wuchen to come over."
Yi Qianhuan's face remained calm, but his fists under his sleeves slowly clenched.
