The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 257 Heartache
Before Lanzhi's right hand fell, Yu Qiansi yelled loudly, stood up with pain, and tried to escape into the nearby forest.

Lanzhi was not to be outdone. She had a long whip in her hand and swung it at Yu Qiansi with all her strength. She hooked it around her neck and used all her strength to drag her to the ground.

As soon as Yu Qiansi realized that he was entangled, he fell backwards due to the force of the whip, and took the opportunity to wrap the dagger around the whip. With the help of Lanzhi's force, he broke the whip, then turned over and knelt on the spot.

But in doing so, she had lost the opportunity to enter the forest. She was trembling with pain, her vision went dark, and before she could steady herself, Lanzhi pounced on her for some reason.

Yu Qiansi was startled by Lanzhi's sudden melee, and was unable to resist, so he was pinned under Lanzhi, and the two rolled into a ball.

Although Lanzhi's move was irrational, it was a good opportunity for Yu Qiansi. As long as she didn't let go of her, she wouldn't be threatened by the arrows in the distance. Naturally, she held on to Lanzhi tightly and refused to let go. Lanzhi, fearing that Yu Qiansi would escape, also pulled her collar and dragged her to the center of the open space.

Both of them were seriously injured, and blood oozed from their wounds during the fight, like a bloody rain. However, the two women refused to give in to each other and rolled out a bloody path in the open space in the forest.

Yu Qiansi was seriously injured after all. Lanzhi picked up Yu Qiansi's dagger, put it on her neck, and pulled her up.

"It seems that Master Yu will go with me after all."

Before he finished speaking, there were many noises coming from the forest, like many birds falling to the ground. The tiny, fragmented sounds gradually became more obvious, like a tide coming towards the open space in the forest.

Lanzhi's face turned pale as she watched several gray-clothed men staggering out of the forest. She stood there alertly and asked loudly, "What are you doing here?"

The gray-clothed men shook their heads and seemed to be running away. Behind them, more black-clothed men were forced out of the forest one after another, retreating backwards.

A crowd of people in black, about fifty or sixty in number, retreated in a fan shape toward the open space in the woods, gradually approaching Lanzhi and Yu Qiansi.

"Young Master Lan wanted to take Lord Yu from the Criminal Division away, but he should have asked Wu Ya Wei for his opinion."

The voice was deep and steady, and although it was a little tired, it inexplicably carried a reassuring power.

Even though he was dizzy and had difficulty seeing, this voice was very familiar to Yu Qiansi.

It’s Bo Yi.

Lanzhi looked through the gap between the men in black, as if she wanted to stare a hole through Bo Yi.

This guy was really difficult to deal with. After seven or eight days of sleepless nights, he still hadn't been able to kill her. Now, she had brought more than a hundred people with her, but he had killed them all without her noticing, leaving only these few.

It was a pity for those good archers, who were trained by the clan at great cost, but were all killed by him.

Fortunately, she realized something was wrong just now and pulled Yu Qiansi back, otherwise she would have a hard time explaining herself.

The knife in Bo Yi's hand had already been unsheathed, the black and shiny blade, the cold and sharp edge, was clear and solemn.

All the blood on the blade formed a small stream, which gurgled along the naturally drooping angle of the blade and dripped to the ground, forming a field of bright red flowers.

When the last drop of blood fell, the blade was as clean as before, as if it had just been unsheathed.

Although he was fed with blood, there was not a trace of blood left, which made him look even more solemn.

Thinking of how this man had just climbed up a tree swiftly and killed a dozen skilled fighters easily like chopping melons and vegetables, forcing all of them out from their hiding place in the forest, the men in black took a few steps back.

Seeing that Boyi was still planning to continue hacking and killing, Lanzhi approached Yu Qiansi's neck with the dagger in her hand, and said anxiously, "Stop! If you don't put down the knife, I will kill her!"

Upon hearing this, Bo Yi looked up at Lanzhi and Yu Qiansi, who was so weak that she was about to faint.

When he saw the blood all over Yu Qiansi's body and the new scar on his neck caused by the dagger in Lanzhi's hand, his black eyes trembled slightly.

When looking at Lanzhi, everything turned into bloodthirsty coldness.

"I'm here to save Lord Yu. But if I throw away my weapon, I'll just be captured. Not only will I not be able to save anyone, but I'll also lose someone. The Lan family is really getting worse with each generation. Every one of them is so stupid."

Having been with Yu Qiansi for a long time, he could easily come up with these arrogant and critical remarks.

As he spoke, Bo Yi raised his knife and killed the two men in black in front of him.

It seems like a vent of anger, but it is also a threat.

Lanzhi knew that she had underestimated the enemy today. She was seriously injured and lost many men and horses. She was embarrassed. Seeing Boyi like this, she could not suppress her anger and resentment. But she dared not to move the dagger against Yu Qiansi's neck.

Yu Qiansi felt the heat flowing down her neck, but she smiled softly with the corners of her mouth.

She raised her eyes to look at Bo Yi, her dimples deep.

Their eyes met, and Bo Yi saw approval in her eyes.

Bo Yi's heart suddenly sank.

He had seen that look before.

They are comrades who depend on each other for life and death on the battlefield, with absolute trust.

If the Lan clan wanted to survive, they would naturally threaten the saint with someone he valued. In this case, Su Niang was the best candidate.

But now, the Lan clan members chose Aru, naturally in order to use the Duke of Qi's Mansion to force the saint.

For Aru, Wang Song would naturally try his best to find out the reasons behind the Lan family's strange demands and try his best to meet their conditions.

In this way, not only can the relationship between the Duke of Qi's Mansion and the saint be alienated, but also the bottom line of what Wang Song can do for Aru can be tested.

If Wang Song wanted to save people no matter what, he would have to harm the dragon's body, and the Duke of Qi's Mansion would naturally be doomed.

But if he gave up, how could those families who depended on the Duke of Qi's Mansion for their survival be willing to be controlled by the Duke of Qi's Mansion after seeing Aru's situation?

For the saint, it was even more difficult to move forward. If he saved Aru, all his efforts to force the Lan family would be in vain. But if he didn't save her, now was the critical moment to win over the hearts of the people. Aru's face-to-face questioning tonight must have chilled the hearts of those who had been won over.

Ultimately, it is an unsolvable situation where both sides suffer.

In this case, no matter what the outcome, Aru's situation was one of life and death.

He can't bet, and he can't afford to gamble.

Bo Yi clenched the knife in his hand and lowered his head and said, "I know what you want. Let her go and I can give you what you want."

Lanzhi laughed at his wild imagination and said, "Who the hell are you? How dare you be so unworthy!"

Bo Yi did not respond, but cut his chest with the blade. The men in black had already been frightened by him, and now seeing his strange behavior, they did not dare to approach him.

Bo Yi gritted his teeth, swung his knife to cut off a piece of his robe, and pressed it over the wound.

Then, he swung his knife at the man in black, tearing a path to the man in gray.

Those men in gray had been tortured by the poison and had been running around tonight. They were also frightened out of their wits by Bo Yi's murderous aura. They had already become weak and unable to escape. They could only be trapped under Bo Yi's knife and begged for mercy again and again.

With a cold face, Bo Yi stuffed the piece of cake soaked with his heart's blood into the yelling man's mouth and slapped him hard on the back.

The man's mouth was blocked and he had to swallow the blood.

Seeing this, not to mention Lanzhi, even Yu Qiansi was so shocked that she stayed where she was.

She had already guessed what Bo Yi was doing.

In my mind is Su Niang’s crying.

Only the blood of the emperor can cure the poison.

The blood of the emperor.

This is the Jiang family's internal inheritance that is more credible than the imperial edict of succession.
