Chapter 1962: Why Not Just Pull the Person Away?

Attendant Zhous face paled. With the pain in her back, the disappointment in her failed plan, the systems punishment, and her kidnapping, survival was no longer guaranteed.

Fear, disappointment, pain All manner of emotions flooded Attendant Zhous tormented heart.

What emperor would care about a little third-cla.s.s seventh-ranked female attendant like her?

Attendant Zhou looked at Ning Shu. If the empress hadnt pulled the emperor away, she would have been his savior.

Ning Shu, naturally aware of Attendant Zhous gaze, looked at her resent-filled eyes and inwardly sneered.

If she had enough time to hug someone and block a knife then why not just pull the person away? What was the point of trying to block the knife?

Nutjob!

Lying in his arms while bleeding outWas it impossible to save someone without bleeding to death?

Nutjob!

Would it take longer to pull him away or to rush into his arms to block the knife?

Idiot!

Ning Shus expression was stern as she shouted at the dancer. Audacious a.s.sa.s.sin, let go of Attendant Zhou and accept your arrest!

Even if I let her go, that incompetent tyrant wouldnt let me live. Zhao Xu, youre a dog. To have killed my entire family my only regret is that I failed to kill you. The dancer looked at Zhao Xu with bloodshot eyes.

Zhao Xu looked cold. He didnt care about the dancers words. His expression was one of contempt and his gaze was lofty.

Which emperor in history hadnt wiped out a clan or two?

Do you know what your father did? Youre just a woman in the inner courtyard who doesnt have a clue, yet youre still trying to take revenge. Zhao Xu coldly said, Arrest her.

Stay away! Zhao Xu, you truly are cold-hearted. Dont you care about your concubines life? The dancers face changed. You killed the minister at the drop of a hat. You have no mercy! Youre a tyrant.

Had she managed to kill that dog of an emperor, then shed be willing to die. But now that he didnt even have a scratch on him, she wasnt willing to die like this.

Zhao Xu didnt speak but his att.i.tude was self-evidently uncompromising.

Attendant Zhous face was as pale as paper. A chill pa.s.sed through her. Was Zhao Xu giving up on her? Even if it was just a task issued by the favored concubine system, she hadnt hesitated to block a knife for him.

Yet there he was, ready to give up on her.

Tears streaked down Attendant Zhous cheeks and she looked at Zhao Xu pleadingly. He glanced at her and looked away.

Dont hurt Attendant Zhou, Zhao Xu calmly instructed the guards.

Attendant Zhou felt both rage and ridicule. This unreliable person had left her with no choice but to help herself. She began to plead with the favored concubine system. Is there any way to get me out of danger?

Due to excessive blood loss, Attendant Zhou felt cold. The a.s.sa.s.sins body pressed against her wound, compressing it, and causing her pain.

I can generate a lightning strike. The two of you are close together. You will transmit energy to her body so shell also feel the lightning. The favored concubine systems mechanical voice was cold.

Attendant Zhou:

At that moment, Attendant Zhou didnt know how to feel. It was like wanting to cry but not having tears to do so.
