Chapter 484 Tyrant 9
Chapter 484 Tyrant 9
This made Yun Ji feel awkward.
"Forget it. I don't really want to be around you."
"Oh, okay." Jiang Lingruo nodded, but didn't react much.
Yun Ji: "Don't you want to ask why?"
"You want me to untie the chains." Jiang Lingruo glanced at Yun Ji's dark face and asked tentatively.
certainly not.
If he stayed by her side, would it disturb her and Pei Yujin's relationship?
Yun Ji pursed his lips and said nothing.
The chains on his wrists and ankles were untied, and Yun Ji regained his freedom. Almost the next moment, he pounced forward, subconsciously trying to restrain Jiang Lingruo.
"You're so naughty." Jiang Lingruo had no choice but to dodge, and took out a rope and tied Yun Ji's hands.
The blurred flesh on the palm of his hand had already scabbed over. Yun Ji hadn't hurt himself in a long time.
Just in case, Jiang Lingruo planned to wait until Yun Ji's headache was completely cured before letting him go.
Although Yun Ji was still extremely aggressive, like an uncontrollable vicious dog, Jiang Lingruo did not want to grind down his claws and break his stubborn bones.
She liked him, so naturally she was willing to indulge his little temper.
Although this temper may seem terrible to others.
"I'm leaving, you really won't come with me?"
Yun Ji turned his head to the side. When she tied his wrists, he could obviously struggle, but he didn't.
The love poison is so scary that it can actually make him lose his mind.
Willing to be bound by her.
This woman is even more hateful than the imperial concubine.
At least Yun Ji could still bear the headache that the imperial concubine brought him. He would rather throw away the antidote and endure the pain in his vertebrae than be threatened by the imperial concubine.
But he couldn't control the love Gu and could only let Jiang Lingruo manipulate him.
The woman sitting high on the dragon throne seemed to be worried, her posture was lazy and casual, but she also had the majesty of an emperor.
Pei Yujin had already secretly glanced at her several times. The woman had an indifferent attitude towards the official business reported by the ministers below, and only replied casually with a few words.
The morning court was too boring, and these ministers had to bother her by talking about all those trivial matters again.
Does the court keep them just to eat and do nothing?
Jiang Lingruo has already planned to establish a rule that insignificant matters, such as flattery and praise of how wise and powerful she is, should no longer be said.
If you dare to waste her time on unimportant things again, you will be punished.
The slender fingers tapped the armrests carved with dragons and phoenixes inadvertently but with some force, and the ministers below shuddered inexplicably.
Why do I have a bad feeling?
The minister who was speaking flattering words quickly finished his speech and returned to his original position respectfully.
"My dear, do you have anything else to say?" Jiang Lingruo supported her chin with her hand, her tone calm, but there seemed to be an invisible pressure weighing heavily on them.
They almost forgot that this was the woman who overthrew the cruel and brutal tyrant. She was not an ordinary person. The ministers couldn't help but feel nervous.
The empty hall was silent for a long time.
"Then let's withdraw from the court."
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw a black shadow swooping down from the royal palace, moving as fast as lightning, and rushing straight towards the woman on the dragon throne.
A minister reacted and shouted, "There is an assassin, protect the emperor!!"
Jiang Lingruo remained calm and composed. In her eyes, the assassin's speed was too slow.
In just a few breaths, the black-clad assassin came in front of him and stabbed him with a sword.
Just as she was about to make a move, a white figure rushed up and stood in front of Jiang Lingruo.
The sound of swords cutting through white clothes and piercing flesh was clearly audible.
Pei Yujin fell straight in front of Jiang Lingruo. When the assassin saw that the assassination failed, he disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
Bright red blood flowed out of his abdomen. Pei Yujin covered the wound. His face, which seemed to be as gentle as jade, was slightly distorted by the pain. "I hope your majesty is alright."
After saying that, he fainted.
Jiang Lingruo remained calm. The air was filled with a thick smell of blood, but her expression did not change at all. "Someone, call the imperial physician."
The assassin came in an odd way, and Pei Yujin stood in front of her by such a coincidence. She always liked to think too much, and it was not her fault. This assassin might have been arranged by a noble family, just to let Pei Yujin block the knife and make her feel guilty about him.
The black-clad assassin stumbled to Yun Ji's front and said, "Master, please forgive me for being useless and failing to kill the empress."
"Who told you to touch her on your own initiative?"
"She trapped you and took your position away. I just wanted to..."
The black-clad assassin racked his brains to explain. In the past, the Dark Department was the emperor's sword and only obeyed the emperor. However, Yun Ji was trapped in the deep palace and had not made any move. As a subordinate, he naturally became anxious.
So the entire Dark Department conspired to plan this assassination. The entire palace was like a tight cage, and countless brothers had died inside. The assassin did not expect that Jiang Lingruo had so many capable people around him. Now he was the only one alive to carry out the assassination plan.
A rainstorm seemed to be brewing in Yun Ji's dark eyes. The next second, the assassin's throat was pierced by the knife and he lay straight on the ground.
A disobedient knife is useless even if you keep it.
He did hate Jiang Lingruo, but that didn't mean he was willing to see her die at the hands of others.
I haven't heard any news about the empress being injured, so she should be fine, right?
Yun Ji laughed at himself. Why did he care about her? Was the love poison really that powerful?
The knife cut the rope, and the man jumped lightly, flying straight towards the familiar bedroom.
The assassin was not sent by the Pei family. She misunderstood Pei Yujin.
The man in white on the bed fluttered his eyelashes, and then opened his gentle eyes, "Your Majesty, you don't have to feel guilty towards me. Your Majesty is my king, and it is my duty to die for you."
Guilt?
She didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt. If Pei Yujin hadn't blocked her way, she would have captured the assassin alive and would never have let him escape.
"Next time something like this happens, don't stand in front of me." Jiang Lingruo said again, "I'm not that fragile. They can't kill me."
She was telling the truth. Even without the original owner's innate supernatural powers, she could still counter those assassins.
"Your Majesty." Pei Yujin lowered his head, his whole body showing a trace of fragility, "It is my fault."
"Don't go to court these days. Rest well in your mansion."
"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Pei Yujin wanted to get up, but was held down by Jiang Lingruo.
"My dear, you are injured now, so please don't move."
Pei Yujin held her hand in reverse, and then let go as if he had been electrocuted. His eyes noticed the dark figure outside the window, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up into a smile.
"Your Majesty." Pei Yujin supported himself and stood up, with a few strands of black hair scattered in front of his white clothes. "I have found what you want from the Pei family."
"When will you give it to me?"
"Don't be anxious, Your Majesty. I have one condition."
"explain."
"Let me always be at your side."
