The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 633 It’s time to end the show

"careful!"

Jiang Suining, who had been paying close attention to Lou Zhen and the people behind him, was the first to react and shouted a warning.

But the hidden weapon was extremely fast and Pei Zhaozhi was unable to react in time. In a flash, the money bag thrown by Shen Yanxi hit the hidden weapon.

Although it was not completely shot down, its direction deviated and finally grazed Pei Zhaozhi's neck, leaving only a trail of blood.

"grown ups!"

The bailiffs came back to their senses in panic, all their attention focused on Pei Zhaozhi, and no one noticed that Xiao Yi had broken free from the ropes at some point.

He grabbed the yamen runner who was holding a sword behind him, twisted his neck, and dragged him away for several steps to an open space, quickly putting some distance between himself and Pei Zhaozhi and the others.

"Don't move." Xiao Yi's low laughter seemed to come out from the cold hell, causing the yamen runner he captured to shiver, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

The changes that happened to both sides of the confrontation happened so suddenly that the royal guards at the palace gate were staring blankly at Xiao Yi who had escaped the threat, and even forgot about the commander in front of them who had a knife in the heart.

Lou Zhen's chest was completely soaked with blood. He stared at his trusted deputy general with wide eyes, sobbing in his throat, as if he wanted to ask the other party why he did this, but he couldn't utter a word.

Everything before his eyes began to return to nothingness, and the greed and expectation for power in his heart had not yet been realized, and they fell down along with his body and fell heavily into the dust.

Ambition is a very strange thing. It can help people soar to the sky and create another world. But sometimes, once ambition is awakened, it often expands infinitely in the face of opportunities.

However, if ambition is coupled with greed and arrogance, it is easy to blind people and make them ignore the huge dangers they may face.

Obviously, this is the case with Lou Zhen.

As Lou Zhen's body fell to the ground, Concubine Cheng beside her finally woke up from her dream.

But she no longer cared about Lou Zhen. Looking at Xiao Yi who had just taken the opportunity to break free from his restraints, Concubine Cheng hurriedly and sternly gave orders to the imperial guards behind her.

"What are you still standing there for? Go and save the Fourth Prince!"

The royal guards looked at Lou Zhen's body on the ground, then looked at the deputy general who had suddenly taken action just now, and each of them was a little unsure whether they should step forward.

Until the deputy general glanced over and said: "You don't even listen to the orders of the imperial concubine. Are you tired of living?"

This cold remark, coupled with the bloody dagger still in his hand, sent a chill down the spines of many of the Imperial Guards, who then hurried forward.

The two sides quickly engaged in a fight. Although Pei Zhaozhi was followed by dozens of yamen runners, he could not gain the upper hand in front of the fully armed imperial guards.

Shen Yanxi stayed beside Jiang Suining without moving, while Xiao Yi stood there calmly. When Pei Zhaozhi attacked, he twisted the runner's neck with force. The smile on his face was particularly strange, as if he did not want to escape, but just wanted to see what Pei Zhaozhi would choose when faced with a life.

"Xiao Wu..." Pei Zhaozhi stopped unconsciously when he saw the bailiff who was being strangled by the neck.

The yamen runner named Xiaowu was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and still had a bit of youthful innocence on his face. He was breathing hard at the moment, and his face was blue and purple. "Sir, help..."

"Xiao Yi, let him go!" Pei Zhaozhi said while gritting his teeth.

"Release them?" Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, a thoughtful look on his face, and glanced at the criminals who were fighting with the imperial guards. "It's not impossible. Let them give up resistance and surrender."

"You're dreaming!" Pei Zhaozhi's face was gloomy.

The captured Xiao Wu had a purple face. Looking at the fighting around him and Pei Zhaozhi's dilemma, he suddenly became ruthless and struggled hard to bite Xiao Yi's palm.

"hiss!"

Xiao Yi felt pain and let go of his hand. Pei Zhaozhi took the opportunity to pull Xiao Wu over, but the next moment, a dagger shot out and pierced his neck.

"Xiao Wu!"

Pei Zhaozhi shouted loudly, looked at the deputy general of the Imperial Guard who took action, and immediately attacked the opponent. However, he was stopped by two Imperial Guards around him and could not get close at all.

Amid the sound of weapons, the runners from the Ministry of Justice quickly fell into a disadvantage and had to retreat temporarily.

Xiao Yi was also protected by the Imperial Guards and retreated to a safe location. He raised his hand slightly, signaling the Imperial Guards to stop temporarily.

"Your Highness." Zhou Qingli, deputy general of the Imperial Guard, knelt on one knee, his expression full of respect.

"You haven't let this prince down. Don't worry, all the things I promised Lou Zhen before can now be yours."

Zhou Qingli showed joy on his face and said quickly: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Concubine Cheng was already beside Xiao Yi at this moment, "Yi'er!"

Xiao Yi was startled for a moment, but soon returned to his usual self, smiling and speaking to Concubine Cheng: "Don't worry, mother. I'm fine."

Concubine Cheng pursed her lips, thinking back to how her son didn't believe she would choose him, and she felt mixed emotions.

But Concubine Cheng was also very clear that this was not the time to express the love between mother and son, so she also forced a smile.

"I'm glad you're okay. Only when you're okay can your mother feel at ease."

As she spoke, Concubine Cheng glanced at Zhou Qingli again, "Yier, Deputy General Zhou, what is this..."

"Lou Zhen and the Cheng family have a grudge after all. Although I trust him, I have to keep some tricks up my sleeve."

Zhou Qingli was the backup plan, and the only order he gave to the other party was to keep a close eye on Lou Zhen. If the other party showed any signs of changing his mind and turning against him, he would be killed and replaced.

"You are very thoughtful!" Concubine Cheng nodded and said.

After saying this, she finally looked at Shen Yanxi, Jiang Suining and the others, and her gentle gaze was now filled with hostility.

"Come on, kill them!"

After the fight just now, most of the runners in the Ministry of Justice were injured, but when they heard the order, they all gripped their swords tightly and were ready for battle.

Shen Yanxi looked up at the sky and said, "My Lady Concubine, it's getting late."

Concubine Cheng frowned, "Humph, yes, so I have to hurry and send you off."

Jiang Suining looked at the blood-stained floor tiles at the palace gate and said, "It won't be long before the court officials will go to court. Are the Imperial Concubine and the Fourth Prince sure they want to start a massacre at the palace gate?"

"Lady Jiang, there is no need to waste time talking. You are so lucky that you didn't die on the streets of the Imperial City. After killing you, I can only accuse you of colluding with each other and intending to rebel. Don't worry, everyone from the Jiang family, the Shen family, and the Pei family will go down to accompany you soon."

Xiao Yi's tone was cold, but he did not see any panic on Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi's faces. Instead, he saw smiles.

Jiang Suining exhaled slowly and said calmly, "It's time to end the show now."
