Chapter 484: House Fight Turns into Thriller 23
However, just as they were about to step into the safe area, an assassin in a black cloak suddenly jumped out from the flowers, holding an extremely sharp sword in his hand and looking at Princess Jing'an with a sharp gaze.
"Princess, be careful!" Liu Ruyan and Liu Hui exclaimed almost in unison. They stepped forward without hesitation, using their fragile bodies to build an indestructible barrier, vowing to defend Princess Jing'an's safety.
The assassin's sword flashed like lightning, and Liu Ruyan and Liu Hui felt a chill, followed by a sharp pain. However, they gritted their teeth and did not retreat. Instead, they stood more firmly in front of Princess Jing'an. They knew that at this moment, they were Princess Jing'an's most solid guardians.
Princess Jing'an looked at the two women who stood up for her, and an indescribable warmth surged in her heart. She knew very well that this banquet, which was originally intended to enjoy flowers and tea, had fallen into a dangerous situation due to the sudden assassination. But it was this storm that made her see the deep friendship between Liu Ruyan and Liu Hui and their bravery in the face of danger. She gazed at them with gratitude, as if at this moment, she had found her true friends and support in this deep palace.
"Get out of the way! I don't need your protection!" Princess Jing'an said anxiously and resolutely. She knew that if Liu Ruyan and Liu Hui continued to take risks like this, they would probably suffer more fatal injuries.
However, Liu Ruyan and Liu Hui stood firm like a rock. They held each other's hands tightly, as if at this moment, their hearts were closely connected and integrated. They drew infinite strength from Princess Jing'an's anxious and determined eyes, and this strength made them more determined to guard Princess Jing'an.
The assassin's sword pierced the sky again. This time, Liu Ruyan and Liu Hui felt unprecedented pain. However, like tenacious warriors, they still stood firm. They hugged each other tightly, using their flesh and blood to build an indestructible defense line, and vowed to defend Princess Jing'an's safety to the death.
At this critical moment, a guard rushed up like a god. Holding a long sword, he fought a desperate battle with the assassin. After a fierce battle, the guard finally subdued the assassin with his extraordinary martial arts and courage.
Princess Jing'an looked at the assassin lying on the ground and couldn't help but feel relieved. She looked at Liu Ruyan and Liu Hui with gratitude, tears in her eyes: "Thank you! If you hadn't stood in front of me, I'm afraid I would have been killed by the assassin."
Liu Ruyan and Liu Hui smiled at each other, their smiles showing both relief and relief. They knew that although this flower viewing banquet had gone through many twists and turns, their friendship had become even deeper because of it. They held each other's hands tightly, as if at this moment, they had found the destination of each other's soul.
However, this harmony and tranquility was only temporary. When they set out on their journey home again, the suspicion and vigilance hidden deep in their hearts surged like an undercurrent. On the surface, they seemed to have reconciled, but in their hearts, they were calculating like drumbeats, always alert to each other's every move. But in front of all these people, they had to maintain superficial peace and friendship.
Princess Jing'an looked at them, and although she felt doubtful and uneasy, she did not ask any more questions. She knew very well that people's minds were unpredictable in this deep palace. She turned to look at the assassin who was subdued by the guards, her brows furrowed, and her eyes flashed with determination and resoluteness: "Who is this assassin? Why did he want to assassinate me?"
The guard bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Princess, the identity of the assassin has not yet been determined. However, I will do my best to find out the truth as soon as possible and give the princess a satisfactory explanation."
Princess Jing'an nodded and signaled the guards to take the assassin away. She looked at Liu Ruyan and Liu Hui again, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes: "Today's matter is thanks to you. I will remember your kindness."
Liu Ruyan and Liu Hui were secretly pleased with themselves, but they dared not show it on their faces. They knew that although this flower viewing banquet had gone through many twists and turns, it might be their chance. As long as they could continue to gain the trust and favor of Princess Jing'an, they would be able to gain a firm foothold in the palace, and even make further progress.
"You're welcome, Princess. This is what we should do." Liu Ruyan spoke first, her tone gentle and appropriate, as if everything was under her control.
Liu Hui was not to be outdone and said, "Princess, let's go back to the palace first. After all, it's not safe here."
Princess Jing'an nodded and agreed to their suggestion. The group hurriedly ended the flower-viewing banquet full of twists and turns and returned to the palace.
After returning to the palace, Princess Jing'an immediately summoned her trusted maid and ordered her solemnly, "Go and check the identity and origin of the assassin today. I want to know who is behind him."
The maid took the order and left. Princess Jing'an sat alone in her bedroom, lost in thought. She knew that this assassination was no accident and there must be some unspeakable secret behind it. She had to find out the truth as soon as possible to avoid being in danger again.
At the same time, Liu Ruyan and Liu Hui were also secretly planning in their respective palaces. They knew that although this flower viewing banquet had temporarily earned them the trust of Princess Jing'an, they would need more chips and means to gain a firm foothold in this deep palace.
Liu Ruyan sat in front of the window, plucking the strings of the zither gently, thinking about how to further consolidate her position in Princess Jing'an's heart. She knew that she had to find more opportunities to show her talent and wisdom in order to remain invincible in this deep palace.
Liu Hui sat in front of the bronze mirror, carefully examining her delicate face. She knew that her beauty was her greatest asset in the palace. She had to use this advantage to win more favor and trust from Princess Jing'an.
However, they did not realize that this seemingly simple assassination was actually the tip of the iceberg of a complicated court struggle. In this struggle, everyone could become someone else's pawn or enemy. And they would inevitably experience more twists and turns in this struggle.
As time went by, Princess Jing'an gradually found out the identity and origin of the assassin. It turned out that the assassin was a death squad sent by the queen to eliminate Princess Jing'an, a potential threat. After learning the truth, Princess Jing'an could not help but feel angry and sad. She knew that in this deep palace, family affection and friendship might be illusory bubbles, and only the power and status in her hands were the most real guarantee.
Liu Ruyan and Liu Hui also gradually emerged in this struggle. With their respective talents and beauty, they occupied an increasingly important position in Princess Jing'an's heart. However, the open and covert struggles between them never stopped. They were always alert to each other's every move, fearing that they would fall into each other's trap if they were not careful.
In this intricate palace struggle, Princess Jing'an, Liu Ruyan and Liu Hui have become indispensable characters. They each have different goals and ambitions, and they fight hard in this struggle. As for the outcome of this struggle, perhaps only time can give the final answer.
However, no matter what the outcome, this struggle has profoundly changed their lives and destinies. They have experienced too many twists and turns and changes in this deep palace, and have also gained too much growth and understanding. They may become enemies or friends, but in any case, they have become an indispensable part of each other's lives.
This flower-viewing banquet has become an unforgettable memory in their hearts. Although it was full of twists and turns, it was these experiences that made them cherish each other's friendship even more. In the days to come, they may experience more challenges and difficulties, but as long as they can go hand in hand and face them together, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and challenges. He ordered her to find out the identity and origin of the assassin. She knew that this assassination was not accidental, and there must be unspeakable secrets behind it.
At the same time, Liu Ruyun and Liu Hui also returned to their respective residences. They both knew in their hearts that although they seemed to have reconciled on the surface, the fight between them had never stopped. They were secretly looking for each other's flaws, intending to find an opportunity to give each other a fatal blow.
