ked at the sky getting darker and darker, the sun had already set completely, but she still couldn't see the figures of Zong Yu and Zong Bai, the two brothers, returning at the end of the path outside...Chapter 1243 She just refused to accept the present situation.

The Imperial Guard was startled, and upon closer inspection, it truly was the Princess.

Seeing that Fang Jinxiu was still alive, the Empress Dowager's heart finally settled. She came back to her senses at this moment.

She raised her hand and slapped Fang Jinshu with a resounding smack right in front of the Imperial Guards. This slap not only stunned Fang Jinshu, but also left the enemy across from them dumbfounded, standing there in shock.

Fang Jinshu's face burned with a searing pain. Her first reaction was anger.

In her two lifetimes, growing up to this age, no one had ever dared to slap her.

When she looked up and saw the long princess's tear-streaked face, the anger in her heart was instantly extinguished like a bucket of cold water poured over it. She even felt a little lost and at a loss for words.

Her Highness cried. How could someone like her cry

Why was she crying Was it because of herself

"You ungrateful child, why didn't you say where you were going Do you know how long I've been looking for you I've turned the entire palace upside down and still couldn't find you."

"Wah wah wah, I thought you were dead, you scared the wits out of me."

The Eldest Princess held her, sobbing uncontrollably. Fang Jinshu, her tongue touching the numb cheek from the slap, looked like this blow was truly fated for her.

When you have a mother-in-law like that, what can you do

She raised her hand and patted the crown princess's back, "Well, isn't this me coming back to life"

"I'm sorry to worry you."

Hearing Fang Jinshu's apology, the Princess quickly wiped away her tears and stepped back, even turning her back to avoid being seen.

Fang Jinshi smiled, "I've already seen what I needed to see. Is it a bit late to think about wiping it now"

"Besides, Your Highness, don't you see the situation These people... they don't seem like they intend to let us go."

Just as the two of them were crying and making a fuss, the forbidden army over there had already discussed their countermeasures and continued to approach them.

How is the Princess doing They are seeking revenge for the late emperor and carrying out His Majesty's last command before his death. Even if it's the Princess, she can't stop the late emperor's order.

"The late Emperor decreed that Fang Jinshu, wife of a general from the enemy nation, came to our Xia state with ill intentions. We seize this traitor to avenge His Majesty!"

"Revenge for our King!"

They rushed over without a word. Now it was too late to run. Fang Jinshu plucked out two crossbows from thin air, making the Crown Princess's eyes widen in shock.

"Where did you get this"

She looked around Fang Jinshu, even lifting her clothes to search.

"Your Highness, this is not the time for jesting. Step back and stay within my reach."

The long princess laughed and asked, "Are you trying to protect me"

Fang Jinshi said without turning back, "That's natural. I promised Ayu, I would definitely get your mother and son reunited. Even a woman should keep her word."

Everything happened so fast, she was talking while shooting her crossbow at the opposite side. These Imperial Guards were too skilled; she couldn't hit every shot.

However, in the blink of an eye, two people had broken through her range and appeared before them. Fang Jinxiu wasn't skilled in martial arts, and at that moment, she almost pulled the Princess into the spatial dimension.

But in the blink of an eye, her body was violently pulled backwards. When she regained her senses, she saw the Crown Princess had drawn a soft sword from somewhere and was already clashing with the imperial guards.

It was only then that Fang Jinshui realized, of course, the Crown Princess knew martial arts. What exactly was she worried about

"Your Highness! Go for it! Beat him, beat him, that's him!"

"Beware, someone is attacking you from behind."

"Your Highness, right right." Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

Fang Jinshi acted like an outside helper, her mouth never stopping as she yelled, observing the battle between the Princess and the Imperial Guard while shouting for help to those around her.

She really wanted to run and get help, but the crown princess's eyes seemed to say, "You dare try to run away"

She was so frightened that she had to take a step back, her voice strained as she could only scream.

Luckily, they were already outside the Cold Palace's jurisdiction, to be precise, beyond what Eunuch He could control. Other eunuchs and maids gradually approached, drawn by the sounds coming from here.

Fang Jinxiu desperately pleaded for their help.

"Aren't those Lady Fang and the Princess"

"Go and report to Your Majesty that Miss Fang has been found."

"Go and call the Imperial Guard!"

Seeing that someone had finally gone to call for help, Fang Jinshu could finally rest easy.

Turning back to look at the princess, I noticed something was amiss. She seemed unwell, beads of sweat glistening on her forehead, and her hand gripping the sword trembled slightly.

Fang Jinxiu quickly took out her crossbow and aimed at the person across from her who wanted to help, but she focused all her attention on the front and didn't notice another figure quietly approaching her.

"Your Highness, please hold on a little longer. Maids and eunuchs have already gone to fetch reinforcements. The Emperor is leading the troops and will surely arrive soon."

"Be careful!"

The eldest princess, hearing Fang Jinshu's call, instinctively turned her head towards her.

This sight almost stopped her heart.

Behind Fang Jinshu's back, a forbidden army soldier who should have died from the sword stood there. He didn't know when he had stood up, but the sword in his hand was raised, pointed at Fang Jinshu's vital point.

Splendid!

At that moment, Fang Jinshi suddenly felt as if she had lost her hearing. The world around her was silent.

What happened For a moment, her mind went blank. She couldn't remember anything.

Only the eldest princess rushed toward her, a panicked expression on her face. Then, I heard a muffled *poof*, the sound of swords piercing flesh.

Who struck the sword Was it her

But why can't I feel the pain.

Instead, her cheeks were flushed with a warm liquid, and her vision was as if splashed with a crimson heatwave, making the world around her appear blood-red.

Ah, how is there still the smell of blood, blood is sweet.

She unconsciously raised her hand, touched the liquid on her face and held it up to her eyes, stunned.

At this moment, He Ran Sheng arrived with other guards in a hurry. The rebellious forbidden army, seeing that they had mistakenly killed the eldest princess, were all stunned on the spot. In the blink of an eye, they reacted and wanted to continue assassinating Fang Jinshu, but it was too late.

Herlsing's guards quickly apprehended these people.

He Gonggong was also arrested.

Hersheng pushed through the crowd and rushed to Fang Jinxiu's side. He saw at once that his aunt was covered in blood, a long sword from a guard piercing her chest and heart.

She hasn't died yet, but with such injuries, even a great immortal wouldn't be able to save her.

Fang Jinshu, disregarding the danger of exposing her secret space, had tears welling up in her eyes, growing larger and larger. She didn't seem to notice, pulling out a handful of medicine bottles from thin air in front of everyone.

"Not this one, not this one."

"Where is it, my medicine, where is it"

She mumbled to herself, searching for medicine as if she were crazy. The Princess looked on with sympathy.

Trembling, he reached out and grabbed Fang Jinxiu's busy wrist.

"Stop, stop looking."

Fang Jinshu hugged the Chang Princess tightly, her hands and even her whole body trembling slightly. Endless fear welled up in her eyes.

"Your Highness still doesn't know, does he My medical skills are quite good."

"The medicine I make is rare in the world, it will definitely cure you."

"I, I need to stop the bleeding first, okay Take these hemostatics."

The heart's main artery has been pierced through. What kind of hemostatic drug can make the blood clot and stop the bleeding

Fang Jinshu didn't not know that Changgongzhu's injury was incurable, she just refused to accept this reality.

"Why you, of all people."o school.And there's such a large table full of delicious food.Zong Bai swallowed nervously and then sat down quickly, picking up his chopsticks with practiced ease."If those elders from this morning...
