Chapter 167 An Assassination Attempt, The Female Medical Team is Implicated [1]

“Emperor.” The Emperor had just finished speaking when Imperial Tutor She objected. “The Yongshi Armor and Yingxiong Sword are to reward soldiers who obtained military merit. Mu Zi You has not obtained any military merit. How can she be worthy of such a reward now?”

“Chen agrees.” Old General Mu hurriedly stood up and said, “Emperor, Imperial Tutor She is correct. Chen’s granddaughter has not obtained any military merit. It is indeed inappropriate to reward her.”

Zi You immediately understood what her grandfather was thinking.

Imperial Tutor She was suppressing the General’s Manor. Grandfather being so modest must suit the Emperor’s taste.

She looked at the expanding smile on the Emperor’s face and immediately said, “Emperor, Chennu is also embarrassed to accept your high-honor reward. When Chennu has obtained military honor and stand here in a dignified manner, then Chennu will accept Emperor’s reward.”

“Good!” The Emperor loudly praised. “You have a backbone. Mu Zi You, Zhen will save the Yongshi Armor and Yingxiong Sword for you. You must not let Zhen down.”

“Chennu obeys.” Zi You loudly answered. Her every move was like the real soldiers of the Mu army. She had the courage and determination that soldiers had, but she was a bit more elegant than them.

The most extraordinary thing was her eyes. They were already shimmering and even brighter now. They shone like stars and were filled with confidence and wisdom.

Compared to the usual noble xiaojies’ delicateness and frailness, this valiant Zi You was more eye-catching.

At this moment, many gongzis, wangzis, and shizis noticed her. A woman’s special beauty was engraved in their minds.

Taizi and Third Wangzi’s eyes shone with a determination to obtain her.

Second Wangzi was determined that he would stand up no matter what. Only then could he be worthy of her!

Zhao HongXiang looked proudly around at those admiring and amazed gazes of the wangzis, shizis, and gongzis at Zi You. He was overjoyed. Indeed, making the first move was advantageous. Any later and You’er certainly wouldn’t be his.

Now, I have an assurance and am engaged to her. There is also an agreement that if I don’t have a concubine......

Wait, this is really difficult to do. Zhao HongXiang thought of this and couldn’t help but have a guilty conscience.

He had just met up secretly with Yu Lanxuan. But it really couldn’t blamed on him. He was chasing after You’er earlier, but was stopped by Wei Mingrui and Zhu Likang. They, who had never paid attention to him before, had grabbed him and chatted for a long time about women.

That caused him to pretend that he was still pure.

After he had separated from him, he didn’t know where You’er was dragged to by Taizi and Third Wangzi.

He was searching around aimlessly but did not find You’er. Instead, he was blocked by Yu Lanxuan.

She looked at him with resentment. Her eyes held yearning, grievance, sadness, and admiration. His heart softened a bit.

He couldn’t help but show her some concern. “Xuan’er, you...... How have you been?”

The girl’s tears had rolled down. She had cried like pear blossoms in the rain.

His heart couldn’t bear it even more. He had quickly handed a handkerchief to her and softly comforted, “Don’t cry. I feel bad if you cry.”

The girl took his handkerchief and turned to leave. He didn’t know what happened, but his uncontrollable legs chased her.

She wasn’t disdainful when she saw that he was limping. Instead, she had asked, somewhat distressed and concerned, “Shizi Ye, does your leg hurt?”

The girl had been so wronged, but not only did she not blame him or disdain him, but was, instead, worried about him. A man’s pride received the greatest satisfaction. He looked at the girl and felt that her little face, that was smaller than a palm, was really cute.

This Zhao HongXiang was someone who had tender feelings for the opposite sex. He looked around to see that no one was around. He immediately grabbed Yu Lanxuan’s small hand and softly comforted. “Xuan’er, I’ll be slighting you. Don’t worry. After I marry You’er, I will persuade her to accept you. I will marry you as an equal wife then.”

This scene was exactly the same [as Zi You’s previous life]. It just occurred two years ahead of time.

Zhao HongXiang was feeling guilty and didn’t dare to look at Zi You. Zi You didn’t even glance at him. Instead, she looked quietly at Shangguan LingRan.

She didn’t even know what was going on. At this moment, she wasn’t the slightest bit happy that the Emperor and wangzis were looking at her. She only hoped that this “dandy” would look at her with praise.

Shangguan LingRan was looking at her of course. Although he tried to suppress it, he still revealed an amazed and admiring smile after he saw the little yatou’s outstanding performance.

It wasn’t that he had never seen dances with swords before. He had seen no less than ten Sword Dances at Xuanyuan Sect.

After seeing Zi You’s Sword Dance, he knew that although Jianghu females’ sword dances were light and easy, they lacked military toughness and domineering aura. They also lacked Zi You’s spirit and beauty.

Shangguan LingRan’s phoenix eyes turned deep, as if they were a beautiful sea of stars surging with momentum.

Zi You’s eyes met his eyes. She almost fell into his eyes and couldn’t extricate herself.

Zi You’s heart jumped and her cheeks turned red. She breathed with difficulty and calmed her mind.

The Emperor had just seen the female medical team’s performance and was obviously in a better mood. He smiled and was about to speak, but the Empress said, “This female medical team is supposed to rescue wounded soldiers and is not going to fight, right? So why did Mu Xiaojie teach them martial arts? There are also four men here. What is going on?”

She was suspicious of Zi You. Zi You could immediately sense that the Empress did not like her.

At their first meeting, the Empress provoked everyone’s jealousy towards Zi You. Now, she was directly telling the Emperor that Zi You had ulterior motives.

It seemed that she and Imperial Tutor She were not in favor of Taizi marrying Zi You. That was why she couldn’t help but take this attitude towards Zi You.

In that case...... Zi You secretly sneered. She calmly said, “Replying to Empress, the four males are going to be on the battlefield and treat those bigger and taller soldiers whom the females could not carry. Teaching them martial arts is to exercise their physical fitness, so that during a battle, they can rush to the frontline and rescue the wounded in time.

“If they were the same as before, breathless after walking a few steps and cannot lift or carry anything, let’s not talk about saving people. But they won’t even be able to protect themselves. Empress, we are going to save people and not going there to be saved. They have been learning medicine, but they are currently learning how to provide first aid on a battlefield.

“Emperor, Empress Dowager, Empress, you can verify what they have learned at anytime.”

The Emperor looked dissatisfied at the Empress. He thought, ‘Zhen’s real purpose is to use these girls to encourage and motivate these noble gongzis, lest they only know how to play with cats and dogs and do nothing all day. Zhen isn’t worried at all about the girls’ medical skills. The imperial doctors sent to watch them report to Zhen every day about the female medical team’s situation. When is it your turn to worry? You don’t interfere in what you should and have to interfere in what you shouldn’t.’

“There’s no need.” The Emperor faintly said, “Zhen knows that your female medical team studies and work hard. You did a good job......”

He hadn’t finished speaking, when it became noisy outside. More than thirty people in black clothing and masks with weapons in hand rushed inside and started attacking people.

“Ah......” The hall was immediately chaotic. Not only were the women panicked and the xiaojies scared, but even the officials were so frightened that they fled. They simply did not care about protecting the Emperor.

Old General Mu and Mu YingYi immediately and calmly ordered the guards to surround and protect the Empress Dowager, Emperor, and Empress.

Zi You also ordered Rong Yunhe, “Protect the girls. Don’t move around. I’ll go save the people.”

Then she picked up her sword and went towards the black-clothed people.

Taizi and Third Wangzi entered the fray. However, their martial arts were inferior. They were soon forced back by the black-clothed people.

Zi You protected Nee Liu from the assassin and used her Three Bone Nails to attack the assassins fighting against Taizi and Third Wangzi.

Old General Mu and Mu YingYi were usually very strict with the army. Under Mu YingYi’s five cities’ jurisdiction, the capital was very peaceful. Assassinations had never happened before. Even theft and robberies were rare. So where did these assassins come from? Old General Mu and Mu YingYi were suspicious.

They rushed over to two assassins, who seemed to be leaders, who had shouted, “Concentrate your energy to take care of the dog Emperor first!” and “Take care of it quickly. Don’t drag it out!”

Old General Mu and Mu YingYi were worried about Zi You, but they didn’t forget to shout, “You’er, go protect the Emperor!”

They said that it was to protect the Emperor, but that was because there were many guards around the Emperor. They hoped that Zi You and Nee Liu could be protected there. Zi You naturally understood that her grandfather and uncle were worried about her. For them to not be distracted, she pulled Nee Liu and rushed over to the Emperor. She and Shangguan LingRan blocked in front of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager saw that Shangguan LingRan blocked in front of her even though he didn’t know martial arts. She was touched and guilty. She had raised her grandson into a dandy, but her grandson wasn’t immoral. Of all her grandchildren, he was the most filial to her.

The two assassins were apparently not Old General Mu and Mu YingYu’s opponents. They fought for a while and were defeated. They then rushed towards the female medical team.

One of the assassins shouted, “Rong Yunhe, why are you still not helping now? What are you waiting for?”

Rong Yunhe turned to command Sun Changsheng. Then he waved his sword and rushed over.

The assassin smiled sinisterly, but he had smiled too early. Rong Yunhe stabbed him without any warning.

The assassin’s abdomen was stabbed. He saw that he was about to be captured alive and bit his tongue to commit suicide.

The rest of the assassins saw that the situation was bad. They rushed over to capture the Emperor to force him to let them go.

Five assassins saw that the Empress Dowager had fewer guards on her side, so they rushed over to her. The Empress Dowager only had two guards and Zi You who knew martial arts. It was obviously difficult to handle five people. Three of them saw that Zi You was a little girl and circled her. Their every move was dirty and deadly.

Shangguan LingRan was furious. His phoenix eyes narrowed. Just as an assassin’s sword was about to stab Zi You’s chest, he picked up and threw his jade pendant.

The jade pendant was small, but Shangguan LingRan used his internal power. The jade pendant hit the assassin’s wrist. The assassin shouted and his wrist drooped. The hand in his sword flew out.

The assassin stared at Shangguan LingRan like he was looking at a ghost. A small jade pendant could actually fracture his wrist. This devilish-looking man was not simple.

At this time, another assassin was stabbed in the abdomen by Zi You. Another assassin saw that Zi You’s Yinxiao Sword wasn’t pulled out in time. He took the opportunity to slash Zi You’s waist.

Ruthlessness flashed in Shangguan LingRan’s phoenix eyes. He grabbed an apple on the table and threw it at the assassin’s eyes.

“My eyes!” The assassin screamed. His hands felt his eyes. His eyes were bleeding. Red was over his eyes. He was obviously blind now.

“Idiot! Get behind me!” Shangguan LingRan angrily and secretly told her. She didn’t know death. She wanted to use her martial arts to challenge three top masters. If he didn’t move in time, wouldn’t she get hurt? If she got hurt, wouldn’t he be distressed to death?

“Don’t expose your martial arts.” Zi You saw that he repeatedly struck and was obviously anxious. She was afraid that more assassins would circle her and quickly flew over to him. She and he protected the Empress Dowager and Nee Liu while leaning closer to the Emperor behind them.

At this time, Old General Mu and Mu YingYi had subdued the other leader and his dozen or so assassins. They ran over to the Emperor.

There were only three assassins attacking the Emperor now. They saw the current situation and took the poison that was in their mouths to commit suicide.

The remaining leader and dozen or so assassins were brought over to the Emperor. The Emperor looked at the messy Jade Palace Hall, the two or three dead officials and furens, and a lot of injured people. He was so angry that his face turned green. He glared fiercely at Mu YingYi before shouting at the assassins, “Who are you? How dare you assassinate Zhen?”

The leader said righteously, “Everyone should punish an incapable ruler! I won’t say anything. If you want to kill me, it’s up to you. Do whatever you want.”

Fourth Wangzi then suddenly said, “Fuwang, Erchen just heard one of the assassins shout to the male member of the female medical team, ‘Rong Yunhe, why are you not helping now? What are you waiting for?’ Obviously, these assassins know that man.”

“Who is Rong Yunhe?” The Emperor was furious. His peach blossom eyes stared at Zi You without a smile.

Zi You calmly walked over and brought out Rong Yunhe. “Replying to Emperor, this is Rong Yunhe, the captain of the female medical team. But Chennu can use Chennu’s head to guarantee that Rong Yunhe did not order what happened today.”
