At this moment, three figures in black suddenly jumped out of the forest.
"AHH!" A scream came out from outside, it was Lian Yun.
Hearing the sounds of fighting outside, Shen Qingwan curled up in a corner. She was extremely anxious, wanting to open the curtain and take a look outside, but just at this moment, one piece after another passed through from the front, barely escaping. Her forehead was already drenched in cold sweat.
"Everyone stop!" Shen Qingwan suddenly said, at least the men in black and her people outside were stunned, they looked at her as if she was a fool.
Could it be that the Empress' brain was damaged, and she actually ran out on her own?
But Shen Qingwan didn't think so. Since these people were here for her, no matter how much she resisted, these people would definitely not be a match for these black clothed people. She might as well bear the burden herself and avoid implicating the innocent.
He was looking straight at the men in black without a shred of fear. If they were to do this, they wouldn't dare to act rashly.
"Who sent you?" Shen Qing Wan frowned, her beautiful eyes blinked, as though she was treating it as though it was nothing out of the ordinary. On the other hand, Lian Yun who was at the side could not remain calm, "Empress!"
Just as he was about to run over, he was stabbed in the leg by the black clothed man, "Lian Yun, don't come over!" Shen Qing Wan's gaze looked at the black clothed man who injured Lian Yun. It was one thing for it to come out on its own, but the person who hurt her was another.
The black clothed man chuckled, and did not answer her question, "Now do you know what's the use of all this? After today, you will just be a dead man. " He looked at her with disdain.
Shen Qingwan gently smiled, her smile causing everyone to be dazed. How many people were able to remain so relaxed in such a life-threatening situation?
"As you've said, I'm going to die soon. So what if you tell me?" His eyes became increasingly clear, but he would occasionally glance at the tree at the side.
There was a piece of clothing there, with a picture of a auspicious cloud etched on the purple material. It must be someone of extremely high status, and she had heard some rumors that in the entire imperial hall, Ninth Prince loved to wear purple robes. That tree must be the Ninth Prince!
He didn't know if he was an enemy or a friend, but he had a plan in mind. If he could save her, then she would have a way out. However, Shen Qingwan knew that since he didn't do anything at the beginning, he definitely wouldn't want to be involved in this dispute.
As a result, if she wanted him to make a move, he would have to show some interest in her. In fact, it could even be said that she made him feel that she was useful. That was why she was so calm. It wasn't so much that she wanted to know who the mastermind was, but rather that she was stalling for time.
"Such an interesting little girl." He picked up a leaf and put it in his mouth. It was as the others had said, carefree and peaceful.
Looking at the scene below, he couldn't help but stare. He didn't want to get involved in the harem battle. He was just a woman, but what's the use of having ordinary clothes?
"Hmph. Even if you're a dead person, why should I waste my breath on you?" The black clothed man coldly snorted. He clearly didn't agree with Shen Qingwan's words and felt that this person didn't know what was good for him.
Shen Qingwan's palms were already drenched in cold sweat, but the person on the tree refused to move. This also made her more and more suspicious. Maybe this person didn't even know how to save her. However, he had no enmity with her, so why did it have to be like this?
He could not figure it out, but the situation in front of him had become even more anxious. Shen Qingwan smiled at her slightly. Even if she really did lose her life, she didn't want to implicate her.
The guards on the ground were all injured or dead. Looking around, it was a complete mess.
"Don't waste your breath talking to her. Just kill her!" The man in black beside him was a little agitated. It had already been a long time, but there was nothing he could say. Moreover, their goal would not be to kill this woman in front of them.
"Attack!" The leader of the black-clothed men gave the order, and the three of them instantly surrounded him. Although there were only three people, they were much stronger than the guards by her side.
Shen Qingwan knew that the situation wasn't good. Even though she had already mentally prepared herself, she was still caught off guard and took a step back. As the sword was about to hit her, Shen Qingwan pulled out a dagger from her calf. She had brought this dagger with her when she first came out, just in case she needed it.
After all, she was the daughter of the General Shen, so no matter how weak she was, she knew some martial arts. However, in front of these black-clothed men, she could not even look at them, and could only barely block one person's attack.
He looked towards the tree with an obvious pleading expression, causing the Ninth Prince on the tree to be stunned. It seems like he was discovered? What an interesting girl.
Since that was the case, he no longer hid his body and jumped down from the tree.
"Don't you feel embarrassed for bullying a weak girl with so many people?" Fu Huaiyu held a fan in his hand, and waved it in front of him, as though he was a young noble of a rich family.
"Who are you?" The leader of the men in black felt displeased when he saw someone interrupting him. "If you know what's good for you, then hurry up and leave. If you don't, then don't blame us brothers for killing you together with her!"
The expression on his face became even more vicious, causing the people around him to shudder in fear.
