I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Chapter 157 Agree to the conditions and take the opportunity to counterattack

Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue took a few steps forward and the man stopped.

An Muxi smiled awkwardly: "Hey, guys, would you like to apply for a card?"

What I fear most is that the air suddenly becomes quiet, and everyone on the field stares blankly at An Muxi and the others.

Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue were anxious. The sword was already at their necks. How could their master still have the mind to joke!

The man behind him became impatient and said coldly, "Get out of the way, I want to go in and see the prince!"

An Muxi wanted to say something to ease the embarrassment.

At this time, the door of the bedroom opened, and Doctor Gao was seen pushing a chaise longue to the side with great effort.

Doctor Gao thought speechlessly that if he had known earlier, he would have pushed the chaise longue back himself and would not have pushed it over just now.

When did the prince become so concerned about his appearance?

Li Rui walked out with a cold expression. He had just finished taking an hour-long medicinal bath.

Having also heard what was happening outside, he didn't care about the mucus oozing out of his skin and simply put on some clothes and walked out.

When he saw the man who looked like a servant holding An Muxi hostage with a sword, his pupils shrank slightly and he felt a little panicked, which was rare.

But there was still no clue on his face.

The man looked at Li Rui and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there are so many hidden talents in the Rui Palace. Even Eunuch De is a master."

Li Rui clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, fearing that this man would accidentally hurt An Muxi.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Li Rui asked coldly.

"I do have something I want to say, Your Highness. Why don't we go inside and talk?"

He was a spy planted by the Crown Prince in Prince Rui's Palace. Usually he was just a servant doing odd jobs on the periphery, and his main responsibility was to follow and monitor Li Rui's movements and pass on messages.

Recently he discovered that something was wrong with Li Rui. He stayed in his bedroom all day and even cleared out all the servants who did odd jobs around him from Lingfeng Pavilion.

He quickly reported it to the prince, who then guessed that Li Rui might be detoxifying, and then sent assassins to assassinate Li Rui.

The prince also instructed him that if the assassination failed, he should find a way to get close to Li Rui and assassinate him again by surprise.

These spies are actually no different from death squads. Their families are controlled and they themselves are fed poison. Once they are discovered, they will be killed.

However, generally after death, the family will receive a large pension, so most people are willing to be dead.

He had also been hiding in the dark and observing the situation in Lingfeng Pavilion. When he saw that the assassination attempt by that group of assassins had failed, he was worried about how he could get close to Li Rui.

Unexpectedly, I saw An Muxi hiding nearby and peeking. Isn't it just like someone handed me a pillow when I was sleepy?

He picked up a sword and took An Muxi hostage. He knew that this concubine An was very favored.

There were too many people outside, so just in case he thought it would be more convenient to move Li Rui into the bedroom.

When Li Rui heard his request, he agreed without much thought.

In this way, this man took An Muxi hostage and followed Li Rui into the bedroom.

Li Rui said to the people around him: "You don't need to come in."

Everyone was worried but helpless, and no one dared to disobey the prince's orders.

As soon as the bedroom door was closed, An Muxi breathed a sigh of relief. The fewer people there were, the better. This way, her image as a lady would not be ruined.

The man looked at Li Rui and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Prince Rui really dotes on Concubine An."

Li Rui was too lazy to waste time talking to him: "What do you want to do? Just tell me!"

After saying that, Li Rui looked at An Muxi with his deep eyes. An Muxi felt Li Rui's gaze and looked back.

The two just stood there quietly looking at each other, as if nothing else existed.

An Muxi felt her heart skip a few beats. She saw worry and a hint of subtle emotion in Li Rui's eyes.

After today, Li Rui's poison will be completely eliminated. In fact, the most critical medicinal bath has been completed, and there are two doses of medicine she prepared for Li Rui to regulate his body.

In other words, the toxins in Li Rui's body have now been cleared.

She was about to leave Prince Rui's Mansion, so why did she still feel a little melancholy?

At this time, the man shouted in dissatisfaction: "Your Highness Prince Rui, now is not the time to flirt with each other! You should agree to the conditions just now as soon as possible! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

As he spoke, he moved the sword closer to An Muxi's neck. An Muxi could already feel the cold touch of the sword on her neck.

When she came to her senses, she realized that her mind had been attracted by Li Rui's deep gaze and she didn't hear what conditions the man proposed at all.

At this time, Li Rui said calmly: "Okay, I promise you!"

An Muxi was shocked: "My Lord, what conditions did he put forward? Don't agree to them casually!"

The man sneered: "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness Prince Rui is still a lovesick man. He is willing to blind one of his eyes for a concubine."

This man knew that he would definitely not be able to leave Prince Rui's Mansion alive today. Li Rui's martial arts skills were good, and he could not defeat him.

But he knew that the prince had always regarded Li Rui as a serious threat because Prince Rui might threaten the prince's succession to the throne.

He suddenly had an idea. It was definitely unrealistic to ask Li Rui to commit suicide. If he was pushed into a corner and he was unwilling, he would ignore the woman in anger, and all his efforts would be wasted.

As long as Prince Rui becomes disabled, he will definitely lose the chance to compete for the throne. The effect is the same.

So he suggested that Li Rui blind one of his eyes in exchange for An Muxi's safety.

When An Muxi heard that this man actually asked Li Rui to blind one of his eyes, she was furious. What made her even more depressed was that Li Rui actually agreed.

She looked at Li Rui with a complicated expression. Is this man crazy? He agreed to such a condition!

Li Rui's move was actually just a delaying tactic. His kung fu was now more advanced than before, but because An Muxi was in that man's hands, he was afraid to act rashly.

I could only agree to it first. I was thinking about finding a suitable angle to start.

An Muxi really couldn't bear it this time. She suddenly raised her right hand, stretched out her index and middle fingers, and stabbed the man behind her in the face.

It was accurate, hitting the man's eyes. She had a few nails left, and they were trimmed very sharp. The man felt a pain in his eyes and cried out.

In a flash, An Muxi took the opportunity to push away the sword on her neck, turned around and kicked the man in the vital part of his lower body.

Before the man could recover from the blow, he was kicked in the lower body again. He arched his body, supported the ground with one hand using the sword, and covered his lower body with the other hand.

At this time Li Rui also reacted, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull An Muxi behind him, then slapped the man on the back, and the man immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Li Rui kicked the man again, and he was kicked directly against the wall. He slowly slid down and was almost dying.

An Muxi quickly grabbed Li Rui's arm and said, "Your Majesty, won't you leave someone alive?"

Li Rui suddenly felt a soft and warm touch on his arm. He paused and turned to look at An Muxi.

He knew what she meant, that she wanted to keep him alive for interrogation.

"You can't get anything out of people like them. It doesn't matter."

At this time, black blood was seen flowing from the corner of the man's mouth. As expected, he committed suicide by biting himself with poison.

Only then did An Muxi realize that this man was also a assassin. It was a bit regrettable because that meant she would not be able to find any clues to the assassination.

Suddenly relaxing, An Muxi's body shook a bit. It would have been a lie to say she wasn't nervous just now.

Suddenly, I felt like I fell into a broad and strong embrace.
