Chapter 434: Chapter 434 Nangong Yi’s True Feelings(4)_1

Huo Yuan also rushed over upon hearing the news. Seeing Cai Wei surrounded and fiercely attacked by the guards, he was immediately heartbroken. Ignoring the danger of the battlefield, he quickly ordered Sui Xi to go to Yanqing Palace and call for the Virtuous Consort. Meanwhile, he himself rushed towards Cai Wei.

Cai Wei, busy handling the imperial guards, was moved and anxious when she saw Huo Yuan rushing over without regard for his own life.

The matter at hand could be trivialized as a petty quarrel between two girls that had escalated to a fight. However, if taken seriously, she was an assassin. The implication of such an act was beheading and execution of her entire nine clans. He still had his family and a promising life ahead, she didn’t want to implicate him in this, so she didn’t want him to get involved.

Besides, he was only a merchant, without any martial arts skills to protect himself. How could he possibly rescue her?

But Huo Yuan didn’t care about all that. Seeing Cai Wei being bullied, he just wanted to save her.

As Huo Yuan reached Cai Wei, for fear that he would be injured by the guards’ swords, she quickly took out some confusion powder and threw it at several guards.

Immediately, several robust guards fell to the ground, unconscious.

Taking advantage of the situation, Cai Wei pulled him to her side, protected him, and while fighting, she scolded him, "Big Brother Huo, are you crazy? Do you know the consequences of what you’re doing?"

Huo Yuan said in a deep voice, "I haven’t thought about it. I just follow my heart’s desire. Right now, I want to stand with you."

...

The scene became even more chaotic. Cai Wei threw several more doses of the confusion powder. Although the drug had knocked down a number of the imperial guards, more guards were still swarming from everywhere towards Cai Yue Pavilion. All the guards wanted to catch this audacious woman who dared to assassinate the princess so that they could advance by leaps and bounds!

However, this female assassin was not ordinary; she was incredibly skilled, in addition to her martial arts, the medicine powder she wielded cannot be underestimated. A large number of guards was knocked down by her powder and could not get up. Despite their ambition, those who were not yet hit by the drug did not dare to get too close to her for fear of losing their life.

After nearly half a Shi Chen of intense fighting, a squad of archers rushed over. The chief guard knelt on the ground and asked Princess Zhao Yang, "Princess, the assassin is using unorthodox methods and is likely difficult to capture alive. Please give the order to let us shoot her to death to deter others!"

Upon hearing these words, Princess Zhao Yang bit her lip, hesitating.

Inwardly, she would have loved to see the woman die instantly, but she also knew what the woman meant to her brother. If she put the woman to death arbitrarily, her brother would never let it go. Even her Imperial Mother was reluctant to kill the woman, so how could she?

Seeing her indecision, Rui Zhu whispered from the side, "Zhao Yang, if you do not want to harm Miss Mu’s life, let the archers put away their bows and arrows quickly. Bows and arrows are blind and might inadvertently hurt her, and wouldn’t that be a crime?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Zhao Yang saw the light and laughed, "Yes, bows and arrows are blind. I just wanted to frighten her into surrendering. Who would’ve thought that it could indeed inadvertently lead to her death?"

Having said that, she glanced at the chief guard and said, "Granted!"

The chief guard took the order, stood up, waved at the archers holding the bows and arrows. They quickly positioned themselves, aimed at Cai Wei and Huo Yuan, ready to fire.

Observing the situation, Cai Wei smiled sadly, "Big Brother Huo, look, I’ve got you involved."

Huo Yuan responded lightly with a smile, "No matter, Huo originally intended to propose to my sister again today, but it seems there’s no chance now."

Cai Wei replied a bit melancholically, "I’m so sorry. In the end, I’ve implicated you. If we survive this ordeal, I will seriously consider Big Brother Huo’s..."
