Chapter 129: There’s an Assassin! Protect the Young Prince!
After making sure that Rong Han had left, Gu Qingxue picked up the saw on the ground and cut the swing in half.
“Lady Gu, what are you doing?!” Ji Yan came back with the medicine and saw that the swing that he had worked so hard to make had become two parts.
“The young prince has been weak since he was little. When the swing swings, it will bring pressure on his heart. It will easily make his body weaker, so the young prince can’t play on it. In the future, don’t help him set up the swing anymore,” Gu Qingxue lied without blushing or jumping.
Ji Yan then revealed an expression of sudden realization. “I see. Thank you for your reminder, Lady Gu. I’ll go and tear down the swing in the backyard!”
Gu Qingxue’s expression froze. “There’s a swing in the backyard?”
“Yes. However, that swing has been around for a long time. When it swings, it creaks and creaks. The young prince doesn’t like it, so I made a new one… Wait a minute, Lady Gu, where are you going?” Before Ji Yan finished his sentence, Gu Qingxue flew toward the backyard.
Gu Qingxue kept running, praying in her heart that Rong Han would not play on the swing for a while!
However, as soon as she entered the backyard, she heard the creaking sound of the old swing swinging.
Following the sound, Gu Qingxue ran through the long corridor and saw Rong Han sitting on the swing. “Lil’ Han, get off the swing!”
Rong Han was having fun and asked in confusion, “Why?”
Before Gu Qingxue could explain, she saw a sleeve arrow shoot out from the roof not far away, heading straight for Rong Han’s heart.
Gu Qingxue’s heart was in her throat. She made a move subconsciously, and the dagger hidden in her sleeve shot out quickly!
With a whoosh, the dagger cut the rope on one side of the swing.
“Ah!” Rong Han instantly fell from the swing, and her little butt fell to the ground.
At this critical moment, the sleeve arrow grazed the edge of Rong Han’s head and hit the jade crown that tied his hair.
The jade crown instantly shattered, and Rong Han fell backward under the effect of the force.
“There’s an assassin! Protect the young prince!” Gu Qingxue shouted. She had already dashed to the front of Rong Han and led him to the nearest room.
The assassin in black who was hiding on the roof had never thought that he would fail!
It was absolutely safe! Where did that woman come from?!
A trace of resentment rose in the assassin’s eyes, and he turned around and left without turning back.
However, when the assassin took a step forward, a golden feathered arrow shot toward him at high speed and entered his thigh in an instant.
“Ah!” The assassin’s thigh was pierced through and he immediately started bleeding profusely. He turned his head to look at the turret behind him in horror.
He saw that on the turret, nearly ten secret guards were holding golden feathered arrows and aiming in his direction.
Ji Yan also rushed over at high speed. When he saw this scene, his gaze darkened, “Don’t kill him, leave him alive!”
In that instant, the assassin bit through the poison hidden in his teeth.
Ji Yan only heard a muffled groan. He watched as the poisonous blood that the assassin spat out dyed the cloth covering his face red.
Following that, the assassin’s feet swayed and he fell from the roof.
A muffled sound rang out. Ji Yan frowned and rushed over. He watched as the back of the assassin’s head smashed onto the stone steps. He spat out black blood and had already stopped breathing.
“Where is Han’er?” Rong Zhan rushed over and asked anxiously.
“He was rescued by Lady Gu. Lady Gu brought the young prince into that room.” Ji Yan pointed to the room where Gu Qingxue was.
