off. Do you believe it now" Li Chen put away the invitation and smiled.Jin Xueyuan panicked, she instinctively reached out to chase the invitation, saying, "This is my invitation, give it back!"But t...Chapter 1461: Furious

The scene was in utter disarray.

Blood flowed everywhere.

Zhou Changshou's hair was disheveled, and he was almost sitting in a pool of blood.

He was unharmed, but Cai He lying in his arms had a horrifying knife wound on her chest.

The wound was deep, visible to the bone. Li Chen could even clearly see Cai He's ribs through the blurred flesh and blood, as well as the internal organs beating behind the membrane of the chest.

Cai He's lips bled a faint pink, though she struggled to breathe. It was clear to everyone that she was beyond saving.

It was clear from the scene that the assassin had been lying in wait in the courtyard, striking with deadly precision only when the opportunity presented itself.

The assassin's primary target was clearly Zhou Changshou, but Caihe Gang blocked the blow for Zhou Changshou, foiling the assassin's assassination plan.

With a face ashen with concern, Li Chen strode quickly to Zhou Changshou's side. He glanced at Cai He, whose breaths were shallow and weak, then crouched down beside her. His gaze fell upon Cai He's dimming eyes, and he asked in a hushed voice, "Can you still speak"

Cai He's eyes moved, struggling to turn toward Li Chen.

Upon seeing Li Chen, she seemed to regain a bit of her strength.

"Rest assured, Your Highness, I will find the best imperial physician to treat you."

Although he said so, everyone knew it was just comfort words for Cai He.

Such an injury is beyond saving with current medical technology.

A single hemorrhage could immediately kill a woman.

Cai He tried hard to pull the corners of her mouth into a smile, then opened her mouth as if to say something, but her voice was too small. Li Chen leaned in close to her lips and said, "You say it, this palace is listening."

"Your Highness, those people, I know them..."

The breath of the Cai He was as thin as a silk thread, yet it still strained to convey its last message: “They, are, Ning Wang’s, assassins, trained, for, a long time.”

Though her words were fragmented and unclear, Li Chen still understood her meaning.

Taking a deep breath, Li Chen nodded and said, "Alright, this palace understands. You don't need to worry about these things. Is there anything else you want to say"

Cai He looked at Zhou Changshou.

She moved her lips, but ultimately lost the last of her strength and passed away.

The moment her eyes closed, Zhou Changshou felt as if struck by lightning.

He seemed to come back to his senses at that moment, holding Cai He tightly, letting her gradually cold body press against his chest, and bursting into tears.

Li Chen stood up, his eyes cold and terrifying.

To be honest, he didn't have any feelings for Cai He.

Of course, it wasn't romantic love; there was hardly even a basic level of feeling between them.

I just think this woman is daring in love and hate. Although her fate has been turbulent, she is still a remarkable woman.

In this feudal era, such a woman could remind Li Chen of some things from his past life.

So he had a deep impression of Cai He and, when possible, was willing to help her find happiness.

Otherwise, he would have him stuffed and sent to her as a present.

But she is dead now.

Her death, Li Chen was not sad.

But Li Chen was angry.

Because this was the most direct provocation Ning Wang had ever given him.

"The King of Ning wants to kill you."

Li Chen said to Zhou Ping'an and Zhou Changshou.

"First, I will kill you all, and then I will deal with the palace."

His heart is truly despicable!!!

"If this person is not removed, I shall not be able to eat or sleep!"

"Xu Wei!"

Li Chen roared, turning his head and ordering: "Immediately send word to Wu Qingcang, order him to surround the camp of the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders for this palace. Then, send someone to find King Ning and bring him bound to Yueya Pass to meet this palace. Anyone who resists, kill!"s hand, looking full of vigor, and said: "When marching into battle, how can one avoid risks Those who come to the battlefield are not seeking peace. If they want peace and stability, they might as we...
