After having sex with a fake eunuch, I became the queen

Inside the main hall of Fengyi Palace, Empress Xiao had just finished telling the story of Fan Mingchu when suddenly, she heard a commotion at the entrance of the main hall, accompanied by the crying of a child.

Then, a loud voice came out: "Xiao Qian, you old thief, do you still recognize me? Hurry and hand over the head of Concubine Ling in good condition, or I will chop off your grandson's head right now!"

After the man finished speaking, the child's crying suddenly became louder, as if the child was frightened by something.

When Ji Yin heard the voice of the person behind him, he frowned deeply with mixed feelings - that was Wang Zhifei's voice. He hadn't seen Lord Wang for a long time. Seeing him should have been a joy after a long separation, but in this situation, he couldn't feel happy at all, and he could neither look back at him nor talk to him.

He probably heard about the situation in the hall when he came to Longchang Palace to meet him, so he directly brought the little emperor here to threaten him in front of Xiao Qian.

Ji Ning's appearance made Ji Yin suddenly feel a little uneasy, because Ji Ning reminded him of Qiao Wan'er.

He had promised Qiao Wan'er that he would not kill the little emperor. For this reason, he even issued a military order to capture the little emperor alive. His real purpose was to save his life.

Before he came here, Lu Yi had already sent him a message, saying that the little emperor and his "people around him" had been "captured alive", so the lord could rest assured.

At this time, Wang Zhifei unexpectedly took the little emperor hostage, which immediately made him worried. Qiao Wan'er should have been with Ji Ning all the time. Was she scared when Ji Ning was captured? After all, Ji Ning had saved her, and they had a very close relationship.

Also, if Wang Zhifei really chopped off Ji Ning's head in a fit of rage, how would he explain to Qiao Wan'er?

No matter how sad or surprised Ji Yin was, he did not lose his composure when he saw his mother's head clearly or when Xiao Qian told him that his savior was Fan Mingchu. But at this moment, when he thought that he might scare Qiao Wan'er or say something wrong in front of her, his composure was suddenly greatly reduced.

A woman like Qiao Wan'er is truly a special existence. Sometimes she makes him happy, but sometimes she makes him feel confused, just like now.

Ji Yin tried hard to keep a straight face and not show any fear in front of Xiao Qian and his guards.

And at this moment, he had to concentrate on every move of Xiao Qian and his guards. When he heard Wang Zhifei say that just now, he had an ominous premonition, worrying that Xiao Qian would be stimulated and do something he didn't want to see.

Sure enough, after hearing what Wang Zhifei said and Ji Ning's crying, the old woman's face immediately turned pale, and one corner of her mouth twitched noticeably.

Ji Ying's current position could be said to be relatively safe for him, because with this distance between him and Xiao Qian, even if the sword-wielding guard wanted to attack him, he would be able to react in time with his skills.

However, such a distance is not safe for his mother's head. If the old woman wants to destroy the head, he will not have time to step forward to stop her. Not to mention, the sword-wielding guard may stop him.

Just as he was thinking about what to do next, he suddenly saw Xiao Qian speak fiercely: "Wang Zhifei, you are still a little naive to learn from me. Since I dare to use this method, I am naturally not afraid of being "punished". My country is about to be lost, what's the point of keeping a puppet emperor? Do whatever you want with me!"

In the old woman's heart, the country is the only thing that matters, and nothing else matters.

After she finished speaking, she quickly winked at the guard beside her. After the guard understood, he quickly leaned over and grabbed the head beside her, threw it high up with force, and the head drew a long arc in the air, and was about to fall into a brazier not far away... In order to keep warm in the hall, two large braziers were burning on both sides of the central jade steps... Suddenly, a brown figure "flew" over the brazier like a kite turning over. When the owner of the figure "flew" over the brazier, he used a "fishing for the moon in the bottom of the sea" technique to reach out and grab the head that was about to fall into the brazier. Then, he rolled down the side of the brazier to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, shouts and footsteps were heard in the hall: "Quick, protect the lord!" "Protect the lord!" "Kill that old woman!"

After Ji Yin fell to the ground holding his mother's head, he rolled over due to inertia. While rolling, he caught a glimpse of the dark red figure beside Xiao Qian that seemed to move, so he raised his arms while rolling and fired several hidden arrows in his sleeves in the direction of the red figure.

However, just as he shot out the sleeve arrow, he discovered that the dark red figure above his head was rushing down with a cold sword energy.

His mind was stunned for a moment - how could the guard next to Xiao Qian, who was just a few feet away, suddenly fly so high above his head? Did this person have some extraordinary skills?
Without time to think, Ji Yin took advantage of the momentum to roll to the side, barely avoiding the sword attack from the guard above his head. A sharp sound of metal colliding almost deafened his ears. It was the sound of the guard stabbing the sword into the floor. The tip of the sword just fell beside his ear, and it was only an inch away from piercing his head.

The hall was suddenly filled with noise and shouts: "My lord, be careful! There's someone hiding on the roof!" "Assassin! There's an assassin!" "There's an assassin hiding on the roof!" "Hurry, hurry... hurry and save us!"

Then there was the sound of chaotic weapons being exchanged. Ji Yin instantly understood what was going on. The guard who attacked him from above was not the one next to Xiao Qian, but another person who rushed down from the roof... There was actually another guard of Xiao Qian hiding on the beam of the hall. It was unknown when this person hid there, and he had not been noticed by the Restoration Army. Otherwise, Xue Feng would not have misled him by saying that Xiao Qian only had one guard left. It turned out that this old woman was still using a trick of hindsight when she was about to die. Ji Yin suddenly felt that he had underestimated the enemy.

This was indeed Xiao Qian's plan to catch a turtle in a jar. The "gentleman" hiding on the beam had actually been waiting for an opportunity - the opportunity when Prince Ying Geng was right below him. If he took action at such a moment, the possibility of successful assassination would be the greatest.

The reason why Xiao Qian spent so much time telling Ji Yin the story of Fan Mingchu and even specifically asked him to pay homage to the body of his great benefactor was to lead him to the assassin's place... But Prince Ying Geng was very cautious and did not take the bait.

Seeing that her first move didn't work, Empress Xiao resorted to her second move - signaling the guards beside her to throw Concubine Ling's head into the brazier. Her real purpose was to lure Ji Ying to the edge of the brazier, which was also close to the position below the assassin. She guessed that Ji Ying would definitely go to save the head, so he would definitely stay by the brazier.

Fortunately, Ji Yin was a man with a solid foundation and reacted quickly, narrowly avoiding the sword that was stabbed from above. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been hit.

At this time, the other Restoration Army soldiers in the hall, including Wang Zhifei, also understood what was going on. While shouting for help, they rushed towards Ji Yin in unison.

However, due to the distance between them, it would take time to rush forward, and the guard who was originally beside Xiao Qian fearlessly stood in front of a dozen Restoration Army soldiers. He took advantage of the narrow door-like terrain between the jade steps and the corridor columns and blocked the progress of more than a dozen people by himself... As long as he could "one man guarding the pass, ten thousand men cannot open it" for a moment and delay the people who were rescuing Ji Yin for a moment, he could buy time for the guard who was assassinating him and help him succeed.

Ji Yin was forced to stand up by the sword edges. The only thing he could do was to roll quickly on the ground to avoid the assassin's lightning-fast attacks.

During this time, he no longer cared about the head in his arms, because his own head was almost in danger.

Moreover, he had been scratched by the sword in several places. Although none of them were vital, in such a passive situation, he knew that sooner or later he would be pierced through the heart or the skull.

Seeing that he was at the end of his strength, rolling and dodging were becoming increasingly difficult, and a trace of despair flashed through his mind. Suddenly, another person's figure flashed before his eyes, and that figure blocked the cold sword light that was stabbing towards him. Then he felt someone pressing heavily on him, and then he heard a "puff" sound, which was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the flesh - someone suddenly pounced on him and helped him block the assassin's fierce sword.

Ji Wei used his peripheral vision to quickly identify the person who blocked the sword - it was Fan Mingchu! He was originally lying dead three feet away from him! This dead man actually came back to life!
After blocking the sword, Fan Mingchu turned back into a "corpse" and lay motionless on the spot. His sacrifice of himself to block the sword helped Ji Yin buy some time to catch his breath.

Sometimes, the situation can be reversed in a moment, and turning from passive to active actually only requires a breath of air.

Ji Yin put aside the matter of Fan Mingchu's resurrection for the time being. He pushed the corpse away and sat up quickly. Taking advantage of the half-second delay that the assassin had to pull the sword out of his flesh and the moment of distraction caused by the sudden situation, he pulled out a dagger from his boot at lightning speed. Although the opponent realized his intention, his attack after drawing the sword was much more passive, and he had to use the sword to sweep at Ji Yin. However, the long sword had no attack advantage at such a close distance, and was easily resolved by Ji Yin - he lowered his head and dodged the sword that swept over him.

Then, Prince Ying Geng quickly lunged forward, raised his arm, and stabbed the blade into the assassin's thigh, then quickly pulled it out, and blood gushed out from the blade. After Ji Ying pulled out the knife, he rolled to the side with foresight, dodging the gushing blood like lightning, and also dodging the assassin's sword attack at the same time as he was stabbed... All of this happened in a flash.

——This method of stabbing someone in the thigh was exactly what Ji Yin taught Qiao Wan'er how to kill someone with scissors, except that this time he did not stab the base of the neck, but the pulse point at the base of the thigh, because the "terrain" he was in at this time was relatively low.

The assassin saw Ji Yin's attack and although he tried to dodge, he was still a beat too slow. After being stabbed, he let out a low roar and quickly lost strength in his lower body. His legs fell weakly to the ground. Because people who practiced martial arts have the habit of stabilizing their lower body, he tried his best to support himself for a moment with the sword in his hand, but eventually he slowly fell to the ground, lifeless.

At the same time, Wang Zhifei led several soldiers of the Restoration Army, stepped over the body of the "one-man-guarding-the-pass" guard and rushed quickly towards Ji Yin.

On the other side, Xue Feng and a few others rushed to Xiao Hou. Then, they heard some of them shouting, "The old woman cut her own neck." "She bled so much!" "She...she seems to be dying!"

Upon hearing that Lin'an City had fallen and rumors were spreading that Prince Ying Geng was not dead, Xiao Qian thought more and more that this matter was related to Fan Mingchu, so he ordered the guards to bring him to the main hall for interrogation. Unexpectedly, the guards also "captured" a woman's head.

Later, when the news came that the palace gate had been breached, Xiao Qian made a desperate plan to kill everyone - he used Concubine Ling's head as bait and ordered a assassin to hide on the beam and wait for an opportunity to assassinate her.

But what she never expected was that the same person was also responsible for her success or failure. The body of Fan Mingchu, whom she had killed with her own hands, was lying closest to the assassination location. Somehow he managed to resurrect and helped Ji Yin block a sword, ultimately turning the situation around.

Xiao Qian, who was bent on dragging Ji Yin to be buried with her, saw that her plan failed and knew that the situation was hopeless. She then killed herself with the dagger in her hand on the throne and refused to leave that position until her death... This time, not only did she find the pulse very accurately, but she also did not make any mistakes in her attack.
