"Say!"

Xiong Chuan continued his threats, increasing the pressure in his hands.

In just a few short moments, the Imperial Guards, having recovered from their shock, quickly mobilized to maintain order at the scene.

Nangong Bingqing was panting heavily; clearly, her performance just now was not easy for her.

However, her first concern was for her brother Wei. She carefully examined Xia Wuwei to see if he was injured and asked worriedly, "Brother Wei, are you alright?"

However, Xia Wuwei did not answer her, because he was terrified. For the first time, he had been so close to death. Just now, in the blink of an eye, he had almost died!

He died at such a young age!

Still shaken, his mind had lost its ability to control him. He stood there motionless, like a statue, staring blankly at the crowd below the stone steps...

When Nangong Bingqing was concerned about Xia Wuwei.

far away.

Xia Yuxuan stared at Hui's figure on the red carpet, the veins on his hands bulging.

He was in a terrible dilemma, torn between whether or not to save Hui. If he did, he would have to send a Grandmaster, which would expose him as the mastermind behind the assassination. If he didn't save her, he... couldn't bear to see Hui perish.

Xia Yuxuan stared at Hui, who was struggling on the red carpet, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

He still hadn't made up his mind.

but,

Isn't not making a decision also a form of determination?

Perhaps he had already made up his mind, but just didn't want to admit it.

on site.

Hui's vision had become blurred.

She knew it was due to lack of oxygen.

Am I going to die?

'Yeah, there's nothing to miss in this boring world. Maybe death would be better!'

Chapter 221 Ji Dachuan Reappears

Hui's consciousness deepened and sank deeper.

Surprisingly, Hui's appearance was not recognized even after the veil was removed.

The reason is not complicated: only the women in Xia Wuwei's harem had ever seen Consort Hui's true face.

Xiong Chuanjian remained defiant, his expression hardening as he was about to utter a harsh word when he was interrupted by a commotion of noise from nearby.

Xiong Chuan listened intently:

"Stop right there, you can't go any further."

"Get out of my way!"

"Hmm, you dare to lay a hand on me?!"

"Ah... Ahhh!..."

······

The argument over there caught Xiong Chuan's attention. He looked closely and saw a burly man.

The man had a square face and broad eyebrows. Although he was dressed in fine clothes, he could not hide his rough and unrefined nature. Anyone with eyes could tell at a glance that he was a commoner from the streets.

If Hui were still awake, she would recognize that this person was Ji Dachuan, who had saved her before and then abandoned her alone.

Ji Dachuan's bright eyes swept over the crowd and were fixed on Nangong Bingqing on the stone steps of the Zichen Palace.

That day, after learning about Nangong Bingqing's whereabouts, he broke into the palace at night, only to be severely injured and on the verge of death.

Just when he thought he was about to die, he was rescued by a mysterious master.

The mysterious master not only saved him, but also told him how to meet Nangong Bingqing: that is, at today's investiture ceremony, Nangong Bingqing will appear before the world.

So he came today.

When Nangong Bingqing first appeared, he couldn't help but be extremely excited. When he then saw her risking her life to save that scoundrel emperor, although he felt bad, he couldn't help but worry, so much so that he shouted "No!"

Now, seeing her so affectionate with the emperor, he could no longer hold back and stepped forward. He was about to go find Qing'er, whom he had missed day and night.

His top-tier internal energy allowed him to forcefully break through the Imperial Guard's blockade and appear before everyone.

At this moment, the atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.

Ji Dachuan's actions naturally attracted everyone's attention.

However, he didn't care about the gazes of these people and walked straight towards Nangong Bingqing.

but,

In everyone's eyes, he was not heading towards Nangong Bingqing, but towards the female assassin, Hui.

Because they are in the same direction.

Countless people speculated whether this Chinese character had a past relationship with that beautiful female assassin.

Everyone was eager to see what he would do next.

Xiong Chuan recognized him and blurted out, "It's you, the one who broke into the palace ten days ago!"

Seeing the direction Ji Dachuan was heading, he added, "Are you here to rescue this female assassin?"

Xiong Chuan still had Hui's neck in his hand. He didn't feel any pressure because he could see that Ji Dachuan was just a first-rate martial artist. Although he was already at the peak of the first-rate martial artist level, no matter how peak he was, he was useless in front of a grandmaster.

What surprised him was that

Ji Dachuan simply walked past him without doing anything, step by step without stopping or hesitating, not even glancing at the female assassin in his hands, truly just passing by.

Indeed, right now Ji Dachuan only had eyes for Nangong Bingqing in the distance; he had no interest in anyone else, whether man or woman.

After crossing Xiong Chuan, Ji Dachuan arrived at the foot of the stone steps of Zichen Palace. He was about to go forward when he was stopped by the two grandmasters in front of Xia Wuwei.

The master surnamed Han on the left commanded, "Stop! Take another step, or we'll be ruthless."

Master Chen on the right added, "If you don't want to die, stop here; otherwise, life or death is irrelevant."

After the two masters finished speaking, their imposing auras exerted pressure on Ji Dachuan from afar.

But Ji Dachuan showed no fear.

He gave the two grandmasters a cold look and said in a chilling voice, "Today, no one can stop me from seeing Qing'er!"

After Ji Dachuan finished speaking firmly, he was about to take that step.

In an instant, the situation was on the verge of exploding. Of course, anyone with eyes could see that if this man took that step, he would immediately die.

······

Ji Dachuan's foot was already halfway up the ground, and Grandmasters Han and Chen were also ready to make their move.

Although they were a step too slow in protecting Xia Wuwei.

However, killing the assassin's accomplice would be enough to satisfy Xiahou Dun.

The two exchanged a glance and were about to make their move.

however,

Nangong Bingqing's voice stopped them.

Ji Dachuan's call of "Qing'er" caught Nangong Bingqing's attention.

Nangong Bingqing looked at Ji Dachuan at the bottom of the steps, pondered for a long time, and then tentatively asked, "Are you... Brother Ji?"

Nangong Bingqing's voice brought him to a smile.

"Qing'er, it's me, your Brother Ji! I've finally met you!"

The crowd erupted in uproar once again upon hearing their conversation.

The conversation suggests that Nangong Bingqing, who is rumored to be the epitome of purity and innocence, has actually had an affair with another man.

People's gossip spirit was ignited.

However, something even more dramatic was yet to come.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Nangong Bingqing did not then tell Ji Dachuan about the pain of separation or the longing for each other.

Instead, in desperation, she desperately sought help from Ji Dachuan: "Brother Ji, please come and see Brother Wei. I don't know what's wrong, but Brother Wei has been sitting there blankly and hasn't responded since just now."

These words were spoken.

Everyone looked at Ji Dachuan with pity.

This scene of "King Xiang's intentions, but the goddess's indifference" has truly amazed many.

Ji Dachuan felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.

The first thing the woman he longed for said to him upon seeing him was, "Go and save another man."

What could be more tragic than this?

For the first time, Ji Dachuan's eyes showed hatred. He looked at Xia Wuwei and knew that the man was not hurt, but was just stunned by the shock.

He sneered at this coward and decided to tell Nangong Bingqing Xia Wuwei the true face of this coward: "Qing'er, listen to me."

"You've been deceived by that dog of an emperor. He used despicable means to create a false image in front of you and deceived your feelings. Now he wants to deceive you about marriage and make you willingly marry him."

"Qing'er, do you know? This dog emperor is actually a tyrant who only knows how to play with women and is good for nothing else!"

"He uses the despicable tricks that only street thugs use to deceive women, putting on an act in front of you and deceiving your naivety."

"Qing'er, it's me who truly loves you!"

"Only I truly love you!"

"When I heard that you were going to marry the dog emperor, I rushed to the capital for three days and nights to find you. I even broke into the palace at night and was seriously injured and almost died. But I still did not give up. All I wanted was to see you!"
