Chapter 436 Injured
When the two maids arrived in front of the side hall, they saw that there was nothing wrong with the door of the hall, so they did not investigate. They were afraid that if something was not done properly, they would be shot into a sieve like the previous person.
"What did I say? What's the hurry?" A maid said with a smile, "There are so many guards in the palace. Those petty thieves would not dare to break in even if they had the courage of a bear or a leopard. Even if they really broke into the palace, they would be held down by the patrolling guards before they could take a few steps."
They didn't know that the side hall they were guarding was already empty at this moment.
Shang Ruoyi originally wanted to go back directly, but when she thought about what Concubine Xiao had just conspired with that man, she felt uneasy.
Massacre in the city, how could they think of it?
She changed direction and walked decisively towards the emperor's bedroom.
The guards in the Western Region Palace were not as many as those in Tianshun Palace. Besides, she was now a martial arts master, so being in this palace was like being in her own back garden.
When she entered the palace in the morning, the Seventh Prince specifically introduced to her the location of each palace in the palace.
Shang Ruoyi followed her memory and came to the emperor's bedroom. The lights inside were still on and there were many guards at the door. She released a few rabbits from the space. The guards heard strange noises in the bushes and hurriedly sent a few people to investigate. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shang Ruoyi nimbly climbed over the wall with her back against the wall. Seeing that there was no one around, she was about to move into the hall when suddenly, a dangerous breath approached and a short arrow came from nowhere and pierced her arm directly.
She forced herself not to make a sound, and with a thought, she flashed into the space.
As soon as her figure disappeared, a figure appeared where she had just stood.
I saw that his whole body was covered with black cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. His breath was very faint. If someone stood opposite him, unless they saw his figure with their own eyes, they would never believe that there was someone in front of them. Not even a sound could be heard, as if he had merged into the darkness.
He looked around but didn't find the short arrow that had fallen on the ground.
The man narrowed his eyes slightly. He was sure that he had indeed shot the person, but where did that person go?
At this moment, in the space, Shang Ruoyi frowned, held the short arrow in her right hand, and exerted force with her wrist. She let out a muffled groan from her throat, blood spurted out, and the short arrow was pulled out.
She originally wanted to give herself an anesthetic injection so that there would be no pain when pulling out the arrow, but the anesthetic would more or less affect the movements of her hands. In her previous life, when she was on a mission, she was shot in the arm and the arrow was dug out.
She quickly disinfected herself, drank spiritual spring water, and took some pills. Although the wound on her arm was not light, fortunately there was space in her body now, and the wound healed very quickly.
Shang Ruoyi's gaze fell on the wound on her left arm.
"The energy in my body can heal people, what if I use it on myself?" Thinking of this, she placed her hand on the wound and mobilized the energy in her body. A ray of light flashed, and energy flickered in her palm and slowly injected into the wound.
The blood flowing from the wound slowly stopped. Although it had not healed completely, it was much better than before, and the originally pale face gradually returned to normal.
Just then, a chaotic sound was heard outside the space.
Shang Ruoyi thought to herself that this was not good. She thought that they must be catching assassins in the palace!
If we search the Empress Dowager's palace and find that she is not there, wouldn't that ruin everything?
She looked outside the space and happened to see the figure of the man in black.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, took out a porcelain bottle, and a colorless and odorless gas floated towards him. Soon, the figure staggered and became unstable.
This person's internal strength must be extremely profound. My medicine can knock down several cows. Now, he is just shaking a few times.
However, since he was able to shake, it meant that his consciousness was a little fuzzy. Although it was only a blink of an eye, it was enough for her.
She flashed out from the space, and after a few jumps, her figure disappeared into the vast moonlight.
The man in black frowned, turned around and looked at the place where Shang Ruoyi disappeared just now, and said in a deep voice: "Damn it, she ran away."
At this time, Ningshou Palace had not been found yet, so Shang Ruoyi quickly changed out of her nightgown and lay on the bed pretending to sleep.
Just as she finished doing these things, the voices of guards were heard outside Ningshou Palace.
Eunuch Liu stood outside the palace and shouted angrily, "How dare you! Go ahead and catch the assassin. You have disturbed the Queen Mother's rest. How many heads do you have to pay for it?"
"Eunuch Liu, I am not the one searching the Ningshou Palace. The emperor has issued an imperial decree that the assassin must be brought to justice. If I fail to do my job well and the emperor punishes me, how will I explain myself? The emperor will have my head."
Eunuch Liu wanted to say something else, but at this moment, Nanny Wang came over and said, "The Queen Mother said that if you want to search, go ahead! But there is a princess living in the east wing hall, and she is not married yet. When you search, remember not to miss the princess." Nanny Wang whispered, "That is the biological daughter of the King of City. If the little princess gets angry, you will definitely lose your head."
"Yes, yes, I understand." His eyes fell on the east side hall, and he said to the guards behind him: "Remember, don't disturb the little princess's rest."
"Yes!"
After he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the side hall.
The emperor specifically instructed that this little princess must be searched thoroughly.
How come there was no trouble on normal days, but an assassin appeared just when she stayed there?
Shang Ruoyi was lying on the bed, and the maid who was in charge of serving her came in and said softly, "Little Princess, someone is coming outside."
She frowned, looking like she hadn't woken up yet, and pretended to be angry and said, "Who is crazy? Why are you here in the middle of the night?"
"My little princess, there is an assassin in the palace. The emperor is worried and has ordered the guards to investigate."
"Assassin? Investigation?"
When the nanny thought she was about to get up, she saw that her face became even uglier.
"Why do you call me an assassin and an investigator as soon as I enter the palace? What does this mean?" She said angrily, "So, you just want to see if I am the assassin. Just say it directly."
Her words were just like those of a child who had not yet grown up. She had no scheming or cunning at all. The nanny didn't know what to do. After hearing what she said, she hurried to find the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Her personality is really just like her father's." She sighed: "Forget it, send a few smart maids to check her room. If there is no assassin, send those guards away!"
"Yes."
