Tyrant's Consort Too Arrogant

His voice seemed to have reached her ears. It was indeed the opposite side of the rock garden. In other words, she was only a mountain away from the person who spoke.

That person said, "General He Lan, as long as you release the person you just captured, I will naturally not harm this empress."

"Let her go, I can leave you an intact corpse." The one who spoke was actually He Lan Xue. It was just that she had never heard of such a low and threatening voice.

As he listened, he had the urge to kneel down and beg for mercy.

"So it turns out that Prince Xiaoyao is here as well." The person behind the fake mountain laughed mischievously, not being threatened at all. "To be able to alarm the prince, it seems that I was quite lucky. I caught a noble."

"You …"

"Third brother!" He Lan Qin interrupted He Lan Xue's angry rebuke.

As expected, He Lan Xue stopped talking.

"Why did you barge into the Imperial Palace?" He Lan Qin was clearly much more experienced than He Lan Xue. Even though he was also filled with righteous indignation, his tone didn't reveal any trace of it.

"We only wanted to borrow a single thing. However, we never expected that your country wouldn't lend us anything. We were forced into a corner and we had no choice but to force our way in. I hope General Holland will forgive me. " That person saw that He Lan Qin was about to negotiate, so his tone became a bit more polite.

"I wonder what you want to borrow? "Why are you so sure we won't lend?" Heran asked.

That person clenched his teeth and refused to loosen his jaw, only repeating: "Our skills are inferior, we shouldn't have said too much, but these brothers are sworn warriors with me, I cannot let them die. I hope that the great general is merciful and releases all of them, and when we leave the Forbidden Palace, we will naturally release this lady."

"A criminal acting in secret requires the approval of the king. This general cannot make the decision." He Lan Qin muttered to himself, "If you really want to make peace, why don't you let her go first."

"Do you think I'm an idiot?" The man sneered, obviously unwilling to make peace.

"Then kill her." He Lan Xue, who had been silent all this time, also sneered and said: "She is just a palace maid from the Phoenix Landing Palace. Her name is Xiao Rong and she doesn't have any illustrious status.

"You liar!"

"Look at her yourself. If she really was the Imperial Concubine, how could she only be wearing a single set of clothes and not a single piece of jewelry worth money?" "We were nervous of her earlier because we were worried that this matter would embarrass the entire Sky Dynasty. However, if the people who knew about this all became dead, then there would be nothing to be afraid of."

The moment his voice fell, not only was the intruder startled, even the servants, eunuchs, and concubines who had caught up to him took a deep breath in unison.

Did he have to kill everyone here in order to save face?

The assailant was obviously moved. The scene fell into a deadlock for a while.

His wife, who was hiding behind the fake mountain, had planned to quietly move away, but after tiptoeing for a few steps, she couldn't help but turn around and secretly lie down on the side of the fake mountain to look at the other side.

The first thing he saw was the back of the kidnapper. He was dressed in a black night attire and looked sturdy. As for the girl he was holding in his hand, she could only see her profile, but it was only a silhouette.

She had never seen such a beautiful woman. Although Eli was a rare beauty, she was nothing compared to her.

She was so clean, so delicate, so unattainable. Moreover, in such a situation, there was no fear on his face, only indifference like the orchids in the sky.

Her lover had already recognized her through her clothes. She was the woman who had spoken to He Lan Xue in private, the queen of the heavens.

As soon as she thought of this, her gaze turned to He Lan Xue. There were many people standing opposite her, so the first to bear the brunt of the onslaught were naturally He Lan Xue and He Lan Qin, behind them was a bunch of palace maids and imperial bodyguards, as well as her concubines who had paled from fright while holding handkerchiefs — only, those concubines had expressions of schadenfreude in their eyes. Amongst them, there was also Eileen.

Unfortunately, her lover did not see her. Her attention was completely focused on He Lan Xue. He Lan Xue stood very steadily. Her face was indifferent and calm, but she clearly saw that the hand he had hidden in his sleeve was hidden behind his back. It was squeezed so tightly that it was even trembling.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's fight to the death!" At this moment, the laughter of the hijacked broke the silence. Her lover saw the person raise his sword, saw the expressions of shock and joy on the faces of the living, saw the anger of He Lan Qin, and also saw the fear of He Lan Xue.

He Lan's snow-white eyes could no longer conceal the fear in them. As the sword reflected the evening light, it shattered that tree of peach blossoms.

"Wait a moment." Her lover suddenly jumped out from behind her, recklessly grabbing the sword that was about to come down.

The abductors obviously didn't expect someone to suddenly appear. They stopped their actions and the sword blade was actually caught by their lover.

Fresh blood dripped down from her palms. However, the pain had yet to assail her. It was as if she did not feel it at all.

The man was stunned. He turned his sword around and slashed at the middle, but it was unknown if it was aimed at her or at Empress Xiao Rong.

In a split-second, He Lan Xue, who had been tensed up all this time, also leaped into the air. She reached out her hand to scoop up Little Rong, who was in his thoughts, and then quickly jumped out of the danger. However, before he jumped away, he looked at his lover apologetically. Strangely, he did not see any complaint in her eyes. Instead, he felt relieved and at ease.

His wife was left by her captor alone, her hands bleeding. She was in a daze.

The sword of the assailant swung down in anger.

"Sister!" Eileen, who was hiding behind him, couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

The blade stopped less than a millimeter away from her, and the man glanced back at Elin. He saw a woman in a colorful dress with a jeweled head, and the surprise in her eyes didn't seem to be a disguise.

The person dressed up so extravagantly in the palace should be the imperial concubine. Someone who could be called a younger sister by the imperial concubine was most likely a concubine of the emperor.

As his mind raced, that person changed the name of 'kill to vent his anger' to 'hold back'.

She felt a chill on her neck. She was still holding Empress Xiao Rong in her arms. She looked at her with a complicated look in her eyes.

On the contrary, He Lan Qin's expression was extremely straightforward, "If you hurt this girl, I won't kill you. Instead, I will make each of you suffer a fate worse than death. Skinning? A frying pan? " As He Lan Qin said this, he suddenly revealed an extremely sinister smile, "It's been a long time since I've played like this ever since I've come back from the army. My hands are itching right now."

When her lover noticed the person who had kidnapped her, he shuddered slightly.

"Like I said, I don't want to hurt anyone. I only want you to release my brothers." The man continued to grit his teeth.

He Lan Qin coldly snorted, but didn't reply.

"I'll give you guys some time to think about it. Three days later, at the North River Bridge, we'll trade again." That person knew that this place was not suitable for him to stay any longer, so he decided to first talk about it before leaving. After saying that sentence, he quickly retreated backwards.

He dragged her until she was staggering. She felt as if the sword on her neck was about to cut into her at any moment.

She suddenly thought of her grandmother killing chickens during the new year, and of the fried chicken legs she had eaten in KFC that year.

The situation changed again, and the crowd dispersed.

"Imperial Concubine Xiao Yao is willing to sacrifice her life to beg for mercy!" A eunuch by the side suddenly shouted.

Her lover scoffed slightly. He hadn't died yet.

Moreover, she only felt that she had to do something that would move He Lan Xue. Only by doing this would he be able to wholeheartedly support himself for the rest of his life. Then wouldn't he have to work hard for the sake of the three meals?

This was why she stood up for herself — she was far from being as great as everyone thought.

Of course, before she could reveal her true motives, she felt her collar tighten and she was gone.

The bandit was clearly not as skilled as Sun Wukong.

When he landed on the ground, she found that he was standing in front of a high palace wall. It was just a wall that had changed from the inside to the outside.

This was the side of the street with its back to the main street. Outside the palace wall, it was a desolate mountain, suitable for escaping.

Just as the man was preparing to escape with his wife, a man ran out from a corner. The man was shocked. He raised his sword to stab, but then stopped.

The person took off the black cloth on his face, revealing a pretty yet unfamiliar face.

When Yi Ren heard the surprised 'Fang Ze!' from the person holding her, she abandoned her and welcomed him with open arms.

"Why aren't you caught? Didn't He Lan Qin capture everyone? " the kidnapper asked.

"At that time, I was hiding in the cave of the fake mountain and was lucky not to be discovered." The young man called Fang Ze replied excitedly.

His wife was originally just standing by the side, watching as the two of them survived the disaster. However, when she heard her 'younger brother' open his mouth to speak, for some reason, she blinked her eyes.

That voice was also unfamiliar, like that face. However, it was strange that her lover had a kind of inexplicable closeness — the kind that would cause one to feel at ease and warm.

"No matter what, as long as you're fine, it's fine. Big brother even thought that all of you …" As the kidnapper spoke, he was actually a bit choked up and at a loss for words.

She tilted her head and sized up the assailant who wanted to kill her. Finally, she was able to see his face: an ordinary middle-aged man. His facial features were so honest that they were not as vicious as she had imagined; on the contrary, his mournful expression made people feel sympathy for him.

When she saw this, the enmity in her heart that was not strong to begin with disappeared.

"Eldest Brother, when I was leaving the palace, I heard that you captured a hostage. Is it this lady?" Fang Ze comfortingly tightened his grip on the man, turning his attention to his lover.

"Yes, probably a wangfei. Whether or not we can save the other brothers all depends on her. " The man finally returned to his normal state, released Fang Ze, and walked back to the side of his lover.

He did not use his sword to coerce her this time — probably because of the unusual cooperation between the two of them just now, he had let down his guard.

"Her hands are bleeding. There will be traces left behind. I will deal with it." Fang Ze observed his surroundings and had already caught a glimpse of the blood on his lover's palm that was almost frozen. With a ripping sound, he tore off the hem of his shirt and walked towards her in large strides.

His actions were very natural, making it impossible for anyone to doubt his actions.

But when he lifted her hand and bandaged her, she smelled a faint scent of incense.

It was a type of fragrance that came between the fragrance of ink and orchid. It was the fragrance of Pei Ruochen when someone leaned over to teach her how to play the zither!
