Chapter 597 Chaos (VIII)

Jiang Shaohua gripped the spear tightly and was caught in a dilemma.

Killing the traitor without hesitation in public would mean giving up the lives of Empress Dowager Li, Concubine Fan Gui, and Princess Baohua.

Empress Dowager Li was the biological mother of Emperor Taihe, Concubine Fan Gui was the biological mother of Prince Ping, and Princess Baohua was the only legitimate princess of Daliang.

As the Princess of Nanyang, she acted uprightly and was unwilling and unable to do anything sneaky. How could she not care about the lives of the three of them?

But it was not a solution to continue the stalemate like this. She would never lay down her weapons and let the rebels turn the tables.

How to choose?

The rebel was still clamoring for Jiang Shaohua to put down his weapon and kneel down to beg for mercy.

Empress Dowager Li suffered a serious wound on her neck, and blood was flowing continuously, looking extremely pale.

There was despair in Concubine Fan's eyes, and she had obviously realized that she would be killed at any time.

A hint of determination flashed in Princess Baohua's eyes. She suddenly lowered her head and rushed forward. The traitor who held her hostage with a knife had never thought that a weak girl would have the courage to die so resolutely. Before she could react, Princess Baohua had already collided with the sharp blade.

"Cousin Baohua!"

Jiang Shaohua's face suddenly changed and his voice trembled.

Princess Baohua died instantly, her body limply leaning against the blade, blood dripping down the blade, she died in her prime.

In her previous life, Princess Baohua was married off to a distant place and died of depression within just a few years.

In this life, Jiang Shaohua prevented the marriage, and Emperor Taihe, who was distressed about his elder sister, would never agree. Princess Baohua was able to avoid the fate of dying tragically in a foreign land. But she died in this palace change.

Jiang Shaohua's eyes were sore, and his heart seemed to be pierced deeply, the pain was unbearable.

But she didn't even have time to feel sad. The great opportunity that Princess Baohua had gained by dying couldn't be missed. Otherwise, Princess Baohua would have died in vain.

Jiang Shaohua swung his spear and Wei Xiong's body flew out.

The rebels were shocked by Princess Baohua's sudden death. At this time, Wei Xiong's body flew over again, and they were unable to react in time.

The traitor who held Queen Mother Li hostage cried out wildly, threw Queen Mother Li aside, and reached out to hug Wei Xiong's body. However, he did not expect that Jiang Shaohua's throw would be so powerful. The traitor hugged Wei Xiong and flew back a few steps, falling heavily to the ground.

The traitor who held Concubine Fan Gui hostage was horrified and swung his knife quickly, wanting to take Concubine Fan Gui with him before he died. As soon as he moved his wrist, there was a flash of light and his wrist fell off.

Only then did the rebel feel the excruciating pain gnawing at his bones, and he cried out in agony.

Song Yuan rushed over like a flying bird and kicked the traitor away. Concubine Fan Gui's face had already turned pale, and she couldn't even cry. She fell straight down. If she fell hard, her head would be broken and blood would flow, and even her face would be ruined.

Concubine Fan closed her eyes in despair.

A strong hand pulled her up. She staggered and rushed into a strange embrace. At the critical moment of life and death, the embrace of this strange man did not make Concubine Fan Gui panic, and she even felt a long-lost sense of security and stability.

She opened her eyes and saw a man's face close to her. The man was about forty years old, with dark eyebrows and a determined look. He had fought all the way here, and his body and face were covered in blood. A strong smell of blood rushed into her nose.

"Please stand still and step back." After Song Yuan saved Concubine Fan Gui, he did not look at her carefully. He quickly let go and ordered the guards behind him to protect the Concubine. Then he picked up the long knife on the ground and continued to fight hard to kill the rebel.

Concubine Fan Gui was still in shock and huddled behind her personal guards. She then mustered up the courage to stick her head out, first to look at Princess Baohua who had died, and then to Empress Dowager Li who had fallen to the ground and was in a state of uncertainty as to whether she was dead or alive. She felt sad, but couldn't help but secretly feel thankful.

At least, she is safe now. Since Princess Nanyang has led troops to the harem, it means that the rebellion in the Zhaohe Palace has been quelled. Her son should be fine! Who would deliberately hurt a child who poses no threat and does not understand anything...

Concubine Fan tried hard to convince herself in her heart, trying to ignore the fact that Prince Ping was the legitimate heir to the throne. If anyone wanted to rebel, the first person to be killed would be Prince Ping.

Tears kept welling up from the corners of my eyes.

Concubine Fan Gui reached out her hand tremblingly and slowly wiped away her tears.

Jiang Shaohua was so busy wielding his gun to kill the enemy that he had no time to pay attention to what was happening to Concubine Fan Gui.

Jiang Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief only after all the rebels who rushed out of the palace were killed.

She walked to Princess Baohua's body and squatted down.

Princess Baohua was determined to die. She rushed at the blade with all her strength, and her neck was almost cut in half by the sharp blade. A lot of blood flowed, and it slowly solidified at this moment. That beautiful face was forever frozen at this moment.

Jiang Shaohua's eyes sparkled with tears, and he reached out his hand and gently wiped it: "Cousin Baohua, go with peace of mind! I will kill all the traitors and comfort your soul in heaven."

Princess Baohua's eyes finally closed forever.

Empress Dowager Li, who was lying in a pool of blood, raised her hand with all her strength, grabbed the hem of Jiang Shaohua's clothes, and pulled hard, indicating that there was still someone breathing here.

Jiang Shaohua blinked and forced back her tears. She reached out and held Empress Dowager Li's hand, and gently comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, I will ask the imperial physician to save you."

The blood from the Queen Mother Li's neck dyed her clothes red, and the bloody mess looked quite scary. She could no longer speak at this time, and could only hold Jiang Shaohua's hand tightly, just like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.

In fact, she never liked Jiang Shaohua, and could even say that she hated and feared Jiang Shaohua's dominance and was jealous of her son's regard for Jiang Shaohua.

Instigated by her family, she even had the despicable idea of ​​seizing Nanyang County. However, her hand was cut off before she could even stretch it out. She, a queen mother, was confined to her room to reflect on herself, which was a disgrace.

However, what do these old grudges matter at a critical moment of life and death?
Her son was murdered by a traitor and has passed away. Today, the traitor has raised an army to force her to abdicate, and she is just one step away from death.

It was Jiang Shaohua who quelled the rebellion in time and saved her life.

She had a premonition that her future life would depend on Jiang Shaohua.

She struggled to hold Jiang Shaohua's hand tightly and begged with her eyes: "Save me."

Jiang Shaohua let Empress Dowager Li hold his hand and asked someone to go to the palace to find the imperial physician. A moment later, two panic-stricken imperial physicians limped out, supporting each other.

It turned out that when the rebels forced their way into the palace, the imperial doctors fled in panic, and both of them fell.

"Save the Queen Mother immediately."

Jiang Shaohua gave the order in a deep voice.

The two imperial doctors responded tremblingly.

Jiang Shaohua stood up and made way. Empress Dowager Li wanted to grab Jiang Shaohua, but unfortunately, Jiang Shaohua was so strong that she couldn't catch him at all. Empress Dowager Li's heart was boiling and she fainted.

Jiang Shaohua turned around and said to Song Yuan, Ma Ji and others: "Follow me into the hall."

Everyone responded loudly and rushed into Jingyang Palace, surrounding Jiang Shaohua.
