The Left Minister had been sent to the south by Chu Wu You, and there was a moment of peace in the court.
It was night. The late autumn night sky was still bleak. Just by sitting by the window, Chu Wu You could feel the bone-piercing chill.
"Your Majesty, rest early." Jie Wo stood outside the door and asked with concern.
"Eunuch Jie, go and rest first. Zhen is not in a hurry.”Chu Wu You replied indifferently and looked up at the sky in a daze.
It should have been half a year ago, right?
She was just a military doctor. She had saved Ming Yi by chance once. At that time, the sky was also full of stars, but she always felt a little warmer.
Her white fingers carefully matte the medical book that she used to love the most. The marriage leaf that she obtained in Qi Liao County was carefully pressed inside, carefully treasured.
In fact, there was no need to be so careful. The Marriage Leaf had a very magical characteristic. Other than the owner that the Marriage Leaf recognized, no one else could hurt it at all. Even a sword that could cut iron like mud could not hurt it at all.
In her memories, the man's expression was always so cold. He never defended himself. Even if he liked her, even if his heart ached, he would hide it deep in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Suddenly, there was the sound of swords clashing. The men of sacrifice hiding in the dark in charge of guarding the place appeared.
The long sword in his hand glinted coldly under the moonlight. The death warrior stared coldly at the darkness as if there was something there.
For a moment, Chu Wu You was in a daze.
Then, the sound of swords piercing through flesh could be heard. The dare-to-die warrior gripped the longsword that had pierced into his abdomen tightly. Blood kept pouring out of his mouth and dripping onto the ground, painting a flower of despair.
"Hiss hiss!" At this moment, Qing Huan climbed up from Chu Wu You's wrist to her shoulder. Her dark eyes stared fiercely at the indistinct figure in the darkness, constantly flicking her snake tongue, as if waiting for an opportunity to move.
" It's actually the Jade Emperor of the Nine Heavens, ha…" A scornful male voice came from the darkness. Judging from the voice, he should be young and in his prime.
"I'll let you off today. You won't be so lucky next time, hehe!”The man in the darkness seemed to know the power of the Jade Emperor of the Nine Heavens. After a few cold laughs, he suddenly pulled out the long sword from the belly of the death warrior and quickly disappeared.
" Cough cough…" The warrior coughed and fell to the ground weakly. Blood kept gushing out of the wound on his abdomen.
"How are you?" Chu Wuyou, who had regained her senses, quickly squatted down and took the oil lamp from the side to carefully examine the injuries of the men of sacrifice.
" Your Majesty, cough, don't waste your energy…That…That sword is poisoned…" The man of sacrifice stretched out his hand and gently pushed Chu Wu You away. His eyes flashed with a light that Chu Wu You could not understand.
At this point, there was another violent cough. Chu Wu You wanted to go forward to treat him, but she was rejected by the men of sacrifice,"" Cough…That person will come again…Your Majesty, be careful…"
Before he finished speaking, the death warrior stopped breathing.
At this moment, the imperial guards in charge of patrolling rushed over. The leading general fell to his knees with a thud."Your Majesty, I came late to save you. Please punish me.”
"You can get up first." Chu Wu You forcefully held back the tears that were about to flow out and said coldly: "We must investigate this matter thoroughly and arrest the murderer!”
"Yes, sir!" The general respectfully took a step back.
Actually, they couldn't be blamed for being late. They didn't know what method the mysterious man had used to actually conceal his aura. Moreover, it seemed that he had set up an array in Chu Wu You's Carefree Palace to block out the sound inside.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was too quiet in the Carefree Palace, which attracted their attention, they probably wouldn't have discovered the assassin inside.
He ordered people to bring the dead men away and bury them properly. Chu Wu exhaled tiredly and fell onto the bed.
Who were these mysterious people? Why did he kill her?
Looking at their assassination habits, it seemed that they would only send one person at a time. However, this was hard to say. Perhaps they did not notice that Chu Wuyou had a Nine Heavens Jade Emperor protecting her, so they underestimated the enemy.
If that was really the case, then Chu Wuyou would be in even more danger in the future.
Moreover, she didn't know who had sent the other party, nor did she know the reason for killing her.
If it was her royal brothers and sisters, they had already been dealt with when Chu Yu was still around. Those who needed to be killed were all killed, and the remaining people could not cause any trouble.
It was even more impossible to say that it was these men in black…
If it was sent by a minister of the imperial court…then it was even more impossible…
If he had such power, he would have forced Chu Yu to become the emperor when he was sick. Why would he wait for her to become the emperor before killing her?
He had never heard of Chu Yu being assassinated by such an assassin before. It seemed like the target was only her.
Chu Wu You's brows furrowed even more after she thought this through. The other party's goal was only to kill her. Then, why did he want to kill her?
Clang! Chu Wu You didn't have time to think about it when she was interrupted by the sound behind her.
For the first time, the High Priest, who was dressed in white, did not smile. Instead, he stared coldly at the darkness. His thin lips opened slightly and he said word by word,""It's already been three hundred years, are you still not giving up?”
" Hehehe, it's only been 300 years." The person in the darkness let out a ghostly laugh and continued,""As long as I can break this destiny, it doesn't matter if I have another 300 years, hehehe…"
"Dream on." The High Priestess snorted coldly and waved her right arm. A sharp sword Qi shot straight into the darkness.
A muffled groan sounded, and the darkness seemed to have faded a little. Chu Wuyou could already vaguely see the figure within: " Hehehe, don't be too proud. We've made ample preparations this time…"
The voice gradually disappeared and the High Priest turned around, his expression returning to its usual gentleness. He reached out and gently tidied Chu Wu You's messy hair and said: "Alright, it's okay. Go to sleep.”
"High Priest, why are you here?”Chu Wu You asked doubtfully. It wasn't that she doubted him, but the timing of his appearance was too coincidental.#
