Oh my god, can you play like this?

Chapter 129: Saving the Emperor's Life

Bei Yi and his companions left Li Beichen's room and closed the door gently.

"Bei Yi, what should we do? The Marquis...the Prince is sleeping so soundly, what should we..." Bei San said hesitantly.

Bei Yi smiled and looked towards the direction of the palace. "San'er, have you ever seen anyone who could make the prince's injury so serious and heal without any trace so quickly?"

"That's definitely not the case." Bei San answered truthfully, but immediately added: "But this doesn't mean that the Marquis can escape from the palace unscathed."

Bei Yi smiled slyly, "Our kung fu should be considered top-notch, right? But every time the Marquis comes to our palace, no one knows. Just when the Marquis left just now, do you know how he left?"

Several people shook their heads. Bei Yi laughed a few times and looked towards the direction of the palace as if he was watching a good show. "I think our future princess must have some means and abilities that ordinary people don't have.

I'm afraid there will be something interesting to watch when the princess enters the palace this time!"

Looking at Bei Yi's gloating look, although the other people did not agree with Bei Yi, they also had some expectations in their hearts.

The main reason was that Gu Lanzhi's methods were too mysterious and unpredictable. They inexplicably felt that Gu Lanzhi should be able to give everyone a surprise.

As for Gu Lanzhi, he first went back to the Marquis' Mansion and briefly told them about the Ninth Prince. Then he told Mo Yi and Mo Er that he was going out and not to let anyone follow him.

Mo Yi and Mo Er were against it at first. No matter where their master was going, they wanted to go with him and help him.

But the two of them were just in a trance, and the master who was standing in front of them disappeared.

The two could only look at each other and wait anxiously for Gu Lanzhi in Gu Lanzhi's yard. Mainly because they really didn't know where their master had gone.

Gu Lanzhi arrived outside the palace without any obstruction.

He stood on the wall of the palace with his psychic powers unleashed. Although he knew that his powers made him invincible in this world, he was not a brainless and reckless person, otherwise he would not have been able to survive so long in the apocalypse.

The guards of the imperial palace were naturally much stronger than those of the royal palace. Gu Lanzhi released his psychic powers, but also tried his best to avoid the patrolling guards of the imperial palace.

After walking and stopping along the way, they arrived outside the emperor's bedroom.

After using his psychic powers to sense, he discovered that there was no emperor in the bedroom. Gu Lanzhi frowned in confusion and then headed towards the imperial study.

Although it was already very late, the emperor could not sleep because he had not received news on whether the assassination of Li Beichen was successful.

He climbed up the eaves and walls and reached the roof of the imperial study. Sure enough, the emperor was in the study.

Moreover, there was not only the emperor in the imperial study, the second prince was also there.

"Father, it's getting late. You should get some rest first. The people below will report back to you as soon as there is any news." The second prince advised the emperor in a gentle voice.

"Do you think I can sleep at this time?" He sighed and continued, "I'm afraid the assassination tonight was not successful, otherwise it would be impossible for the fifty people sent out to have no one bring back any news in such a long time."

The Second Prince frowned and said, "Those fifty men are the best in the Royal Guards. Even if the Ninth Prince is very powerful, he can't escape.

The Ninth Prince is only accompanied by three people, how can he defeat those fifty royal secret guards?"

The emperor didn't say anything, but he felt uneasy and anxious.

Gu Lanzhi stood on the roof and heard what the two said clearly. It was because he heard it clearly that he became even angrier.

When he was in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, he was always concerned about saving Li Beichen's life and did not ask what happened tonight.

Hearing this, Gu Lanzhi tightened his grip on the two broken arrows, and his eyes became extremely cold.

He sensed the locations of all the secret guards hiding in the imperial study.

Gu Lanzhi ignored the secret guards and bodyguards outside. He just disturbed their minds and made them temporarily unconscious.

He jumped lightly from the open window into the imperial study. In just a few breaths, the emperor and the second prince saw several figures falling from the beams.

These are the secret guards who have been hiding beside the emperor to protect him.

After the emperor and the second prince saw clearly the person who fell to the ground, they all stood up in shock.

They all knew that the secret guards were hiding in different places. How fast must the assassin be to kill these secret guards one after another?

Moreover, these secret guards all had their necks slashed by a single knife. That person's move was so steady, accurate and ruthless!

The second prince’s first reaction was to shout “There is an assassin” outside the palace, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he became dazed, his body swayed and he just stood there stupidly.

The emperor's situation is actually very similar to the second prince's, but he is not as completely stunned as the second prince.

He vaguely saw a red shadow appear in his sight, but he couldn't see clearly what the red shadow was.

It looked like a person, but he was not sure whether it was a person or not, so the emperor kept his eyes open desperately to see clearly.

The emperor was calmer than the second prince. The assassin was able to enter the imperial study and kill his secret guards silently, which meant that those people outside were no match for the red shadow.

So the emperor did not shout like the second prince, but tried his best to see clearly what the red shadow in front of him was.

But before he could see clearly, he felt a piercing pain in his back.

His body involuntarily fell forward, and the memorials, tea bowls and other things on the desk fell to the ground with a "ping pong" sound.

Until this time, the emperor still didn't know what was going on, and then he heard his son's scream again.

Seeing such a big commotion in the imperial study, the eunuch guarding outside the imperial study quickly pushed open the door and went in to check the situation.

After seeing everything clearly in the imperial study, the eunuch was so frightened that his soul almost flew away. He ran out screaming: "There is an assassin, there is an assassin, quickly call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician!"

Everything happened too fast, too quickly.

It was only after hearing the eunuch's shouting that the emperor truly realized what had happened.

But he couldn't move now, or he was about to faint from the pain.

If Bei Yi and the others were here, they would definitely know that the two wounds on the emperor's back were exactly where Li Beichen injured his back, and the two broken arrows were also the two arrows that injured Li Beichen.

But Gu Lanzhi did not insert the two arrows as deeply as Li Beichen did. He calculated the extent of the injury so that it would not really take the emperor's life, but would also make the emperor suffer.

Gu Lanzhi actually thought about killing the emperor directly, but if the emperor died at this time, it would be more difficult for Li Beichen to regain the throne.

The late emperor issued an edict to pass the throne to Li Beichen. Li Beichen took the late emperor's will to confront the current emperor. This was a legitimate reason.

But if the current emperor died and passed the throne to his son, Li Beichen would be a little lacking in meaning when he took out the late emperor's will.

Moreover, Gu Lanzhi felt that Li Beichen should still be willing to avenge himself with his own hands. After all, this was Li Beichen's wish and concern.

If Gu Lanzhi did it for him, it would make Li Beichen feel more relieved, but it would not achieve the best effect.

Gu Lanzhi had lived in the apocalypse for so long, and he knew very well the pleasure of avenging himself with his own hands.

So at the moment when Gu Lan took action, he still spared the emperor's life.
