The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 256 Crisis
Su Niang is gentle and quiet, with calm facial features, which makes people feel very comfortable when looking at her. Even when she falls into a desperate situation, there is always a sense of peace between her brows.

But the woman in front of him was more aggressive in her every move, with a sharper chin and a more fierce and flamboyant demeanor.

It made her believe a little bit in the saying that appearance reflects the heart.

Lanzhi's eyes returned to Yu Qiansi again, and she glanced at Lan Shu who was unconscious and didn't know whether he was alive or dead. "He and I are not very similar."

Yu Qiansi knew that she had misunderstood, so he just sneered and said nothing more.

Seeing Yu Qiansi half dead but still struggling to cut off the arrow shaft, Lanzhi's contempt grew even stronger.

Then, she looked towards the dying fire in the distance, her expression gloomy and unclear: "Did you kill the person that Lan Shu loved the most? Or did she commit suicide herself?"

Yu Qiansi cut off the arrow shaft on his body, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "I am helping her."

Lanzhi's expression became even more sarcastic.

Due to the pain, Yu Qiansi's voice became weaker and almost inaudible. "The Ministry of Revenue's new policy is watertight. Her background will be discovered sooner or later. Now your Lan family is clearly plotting treason. What do you think His Majesty would do if he knew that she had some relationship with you?"

Naturally, life is worse than death.

A hint of surprise flashed across Lanzhi's face. She slowly squatted down and caught Yu Qiansi's gaze: "You know a lot."

The woman in red in front of him raised her face without hesitation and looked at him. There was loneliness and trust in her eyes, as if it was not her who was seriously injured.

But her defeated face and mosquito-like voice still betrayed her. "The person Su Niang met on the day she first entered the imperial mausoleum was you, right? Plus, Lan Shu didn't forget to kidnap her before he escaped, so it's not hard to guess."

Lanzhi said angrily, "You killed her just because of this?"

Yu Qiansi used all her strength to smile, "What are you talking about, Miss Lan? What do you mean I killed her? It was you who kidnapped Su Niang, and I saved her, but you killed her and destroyed her body."

"Master Yu is indeed a silver-tongued man. I understand what you mean, but only those who can leave here today are qualified to tell a good story, right?"

Yu Qiansi was unmoved.

Lanzhi frowned. The woman in front of her had a charming smile, but it made her feel suddenly cold in her heart.

She was just about to stand up and distance herself from her when Yu Qiansi raised his eyes and attacked, knocking her to the ground and stabbing her hard under the collarbone with a dagger.

Before Lanzhi's screams had even stopped, Yu Qiansi gritted his teeth and lifted her up, blocking her in front of him, and whispered in her ear, "It seems that I should be the one who can tell a good story today."

Yu Qiansi was injured, and the dagger on her neck was shaking slightly. Lanzhi endured the pain and gradually calmed down, "Just you?"

Yu Qiansi's warm breath was right beside her ear, and her body was surrounded by the smell of their blood. Lanzhi felt dizzy and heard her smile.

With a wave of his hand, Yu Qiansi held the dagger horizontally and stabbed it between her ribs.

Lanzhi couldn't help but scream.

Yu Qiansi pulled out the dagger and wiped the blood on her face. Feeling her trembling in pain, Yu Qiansi smiled even more charmingly, "Don't worry, Miss Lan. I have carefully calculated the position. It will not hurt your internal organs. It will just hurt a little. If you are obedient and leave with me earlier, you will not die from excessive blood loss."

At this moment, Lanzhi felt dizzy and cold all over.

Although the pain was not exactly the same as the one caused by the poison, the pain all over her body made her brain more clear.

"You killed Su Niang and put the blame on us. Was it because of the queen in Daming Palace?" Without her answer, Lanzhi felt Yu Qiansi behind her suddenly stiffen, and she felt that she guessed right.

It was previously known that Yu Qiansi had a close relationship with the emperor's new wife. Queen Zheng, who came from a family of five surnames, was also the one Wang Song had tried his best to get for the emperor.

But now, the emperor is obviously more concerned about Su Niang. Is he worried that Su Niang will compete for favor after returning to the palace, which will make the Qiguo Mansion's plan go wrong?
Yu Qiansi didn't give her the chance to say more. He put his arms around Lanzhi's neck, hid behind her, and moved towards the other side of the woods.

"People in the forest can try and see which is faster, your arrows or my dagger."

Lanzhi didn't dare to move. She raised her eyelids and looked at the forest in the distance. If she left here and entered the forest, Yu Qiansi could easily escape.

Stabbing her scapula and ribs instead of her legs and feet was to make it easier to clamp her and move her.

Thinking of her master's instructions before leaving, Lanzhi realized that she had underestimated the enemy after all.

But she couldn't give up such a good opportunity.

The wounds on Yu Qiansi's body were bleeding like a spring, dyeing her red clothes a dark color.

"I do admire Master Yu a little. Even though he was so badly injured, he still wanted to pull me to escape."

Seeing that she still had time to talk, Yu Qiansi didn't waste any words with her. He turned his wrist and stabbed the handle of the dagger straight into the wound under his ribs.

Lanzhi was in great pain and struggled slightly. Yu Qiansi took the opportunity to bite his teeth, hooked her neck, and dragged her towards the woods a few steps away.

Seeing that her attention was focused on the edge of the woods, Lanzhi pretended to struggle, tilted her head and bumped into Yu Qiansi's arm, hitting Yu Qiansi's wound.

Yu Qiansi felt pain and subconsciously let go. Lanzhi seized the opportunity, and the moment she broke free from the clamp, she squatted down and rolled twice in the opposite direction of Yu Qiansi.

Seeing this, Yu Qian Sijian didn't care about anything else and wanted to hide in the woods first, but he was still hit by an arrow from a distance.

A feather arrow passed through the scapula, the place where she had stabbed Lanzhi just now.

At almost the same moment, another feather arrow hit her left leg.

Yu Qiansi finally ran out of strength, the dagger fell out of his hand, and he fell to his knees on the ground, screaming in pain.

Lanzhi climbed up, but still struggled to walk to Yu Qiansi's side and said cruelly: "If Master didn't want you to live, would you still have the chance to hurt me?"

The pain of external injuries is not even one ten-thousandth of the pain of the poison. She actually tried to control herself with this, how naive this Jade Rakshasa was.

Yu Qiansi lowered his head and adjusted his breathing, trying to ease the pain, while thinking about how to break the deadlock.

Sure enough, the wounds from these arrows were carefully calculated, no wonder they did not damage the internal organs.

But why did the Lan family want to capture her alive?

Lanzhi didn't dare to get too close to her this time. She just stopped at a distance and said, "Lord Yu is a smart man. He should know better. Come with us and suffer less physical pain."

Yu Qiansi looked at her and smiled again. The stains and blood on his face could not hide his beautiful smile at all. "I am really curious about what you are up to. It's a pity that I promised someone to find out the truth for him. Now that the real murderer is within reach, I can't break my promise to him and just go with you guys."

Lanzhi shook her head and raised her hands: "In that case, I will cripple your hands and feet first."
