It was Zhao Yong, “Queen Cheng, the outside army has broken in. We must leave now!”

Hearing Zhao Yong’s words, Jiang Peihuan instinctively glanced at Xiao Nanye in the bathtub.

The golden needles in his back continued to seep black blood, albeit less than before.

However, the urging from outside grew more urgent. Just as Jiang Peihuan pulled the golden needles from Xiao Nanye’s back, Zhao Yong burst into the room.

“Let’s go!”

Zhao Yong’s expression was grim. Seeing the look in his eyes, Jiang Peihuan didn’t hesitate. She grabbed a cloak from the bed and draped it over Xiao Nanye.

Then, Zhao Yong went forward to carry Xiao Nanye and head outside.

Once outside, Jiang Peihuan realized the entire doorway was filled with soldiers wearing armor from the Qi Kingdom.

“Queen Cheng, we must leave!”

Ye Xiao and the men Zhao Yong brought with him held back the soldiers, while Jiang Peihuan and Zhao Yong, carrying Xiao Nanye, quickly retreated.

As they turned a corner, Jiang Peihuan spotted Rong Mo, accompanied by Yao Ji and Si Nian.

Yao Ji’s eyes were full of worry, but she remained calm. Seeing Jiang Peihuan and the others, she whispered, “Come with me to the secret chamber.”

The Western Region Palace was in the city center, making escape nearly impossible. So, upon hearing Yao Ji’s words, everyone followed her lead.

At that moment, a familiar voice echoed from behind Jiang Peihuan, “Jiang Peihuan?”

Upon hearing this voice, she turned around.

Through the crowd, Jiang Peihuan saw Lin Ruhai mounted on a horse.

At this moment, Lin Ruhai’s face no longer had the elegance he had in the capital. His face revealed some vicissitudes of life, but at this moment, his gaze towards Jiang Peihuan was dark.

When their eyes met, Lin Ruhai’s were filled with malevolence. “Jiang Peihuan, today, I will kill you!”

Thinking of Lin Xingchen as the new head of the Lin family, and blaming Jiang Peihuan as the root of all troubles, Lin Ruhai wished nothing more than to spill her blood.

Zhao Yong, carrying Xiao Nanye, silently shielded Jiang Peihuan. Hearing Lin Ruhai’s words, he coldly retorted, “General Lin, are you not afraid of the Emperor’s punishment for moving the northern border soldiers without permission?”

“If I dared to act, I wouldn’t care about the consequences. Everything I had was ruined by Jiang Peihuan. Only her death can quench my rage.”

At this moment, Jiang Peihuan finally understood why the army attacked the Western Region Palace.

“Don’t waste time with him, let’s move!”

Rong Mo, hearing their conversation, spoke up.

Hearing Rong Mo, Yao Ji also urgently added, “Yes, to the secret chamber.”

With that, Yao Ji took the lead.

Jiang Peihuan, walking beside Zhao Yong, occasionally checked on Xiao Nanye’s condition.

Suddenly pulling out the golden needles meant that the poison had already spread. If it wasn’t forced out soon, it could damage Xiao Nanye’s internal organs.

Hence, Jiang Peihuan was deeply anxious.

She could no longer worry about other matters, focusing solely on following Yao Ji.

But as they progressed, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but glance back at Lin Ruhai. To her surprise, he didn’t order a pursuit.

Witnessing this, doubt clouded her eyes.

“We’re almost there.”

Jiang Peihuan heard Yao Ji’s voice as soon as they arrived at a fake mountain in the palace.

Just as Jiang Peihuan was about to sigh in relief, she heard the sound of an arrow piercing the air. Without hesitation, she drew her whip and lashed out.

An arrow was directly snapped in half.

If Jiang Peihuan hadn’t reacted quickly, that arrow would have struck Yao Ji.

Seeing this, fear filled Yao Ji’s eyes.

“Protect the Queen!”

Si Nian had already drawn his sword, and with others, they formed a protective circle around Yao Ji.

Jiang Peihuan remained silent, instead focusing on the newcomer.

In front of her stood a woman in a black gown from the Western Regions, resembling Yao Ji closely.

“Sister, where are you headed?”

The woman in black, holding a bow and arrow, smiled as she spoke, her gaze on Yao Ji, who was shielded by Si Nian.

Before Yaoji could respond, Si Nian, with coldness in his eyes, said, “Princess Xue Ji, how dare you attempt to assassinate the Queen?”

“As long as she dies, I will be the ruler of the Western Regions.”

“You?”

Upon hearing Xue Ji’s declaration, Si Nian’s eyes darkened further.

Yao Ji, with anger in her eyes, asked, “Did you bring those soldiers?”

“Not me. They’re here for the Queen Cheng behind you. However, 1 am indeed here for you.”

“Sister, I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.”

Finishing her statement, Xue Ji turned to her soldiers, “Whoever kills Yao Ji will be promoted to the rank of general.”

The soldiers looked at Yao Ji with fiery determination.

Seeing this, Si Nian’s anger deepened. “You traitors! Have you forgotten your loyalty lies with the Queen?”

“Si Nian, you cannot let your personal affection for my sister influence others to rebel.”

“You’re talking nonsense!”

Even when surrounded by Xue Ji and her soldiers, Si Nian was just enraged. But at these words, there was a shadow in his eyes.

Si Nian glanced at Yao Ji, and seeing her eyes fixed on Xue Ji, he sighed in relief, though with a hint of disappointment.

Then, Si Nian turned to Rong Mo, “Young Master Rong, please protect Her Majesty.”

“Si Nian?”

Before Rong Mo could respond, Si Nian had already charged forward, pushing Yao Ji into Rong Mo’s arms.

“Your Majesty, to the secret chamber!”

After saying this, Si Nian directly rushed at Xue Ji.

And Xue Ji, hearing this, urgently shouted, “Stop them!”

“Si Nian, come back…”

Yao Ji walked to the side of the fake moutain and kept turning a stone with her hands. Soon, a pathway opened up before them.

“Go, inside.”

Zhao Yong carried Xiao Nanye forward, and Jiang Peihuan followed. At Rong

Mo’s words, they hurried into the path.

At this moment, Yao Ji shouted out to Si Nian outside.

Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan quickly turned back.

To everyone’s astonishment, Jiang Peihuan drew her whip, swung it towards Si Nian, and shouted, “Catch it!”

Hearing her voice, Si Nian tightly grabbed onto the whip.

Jiang Peihuan then forcefully pulled the whip back, causing Si Nian to be lifted off the ground.

He landed beside the fake mountain.

Seeing this, a smile appeared in Yao Ji’s eyes, “Si Nian, quickly, come inside!”

Si Nian nodded and hurriedly moved toward the pathway.
