XuanRong who was in deep thought was startled when she heard the screams of the place maids and eneuch who were also with the imperial family. She could not help but curse silently when she saw that her maternal grandfather was currently fighting with the a.s.sa.s.sins in the front line while using a borrowed sword.

When the leader of the a.s.sa.s.sins successfully entered the protective circle, breaking the formation of the imperial guards, Chen Zi Tao made his way towards Xu Ji Mo.

"Your Majesty, run! Let this subject protect you!"

Chen Zi Tao was still a loyal servant of the throne. Although he was a bit dissatisfied with Xu Ji Mo and the imperial family, still, he could not turn a blind eye and let the a.s.sa.s.sins kill the Emperor of the country. Once Xu Ji Mo die, Qian Zou would fall into chaos. The other countries would definitely eye the country and would then try to invade Qian Zou, leading to war and endless ma.s.sacre. He, as one of the citizens of Qian Zou, would not allow it to happen.

XuanRong saw everything. She could not help but clench her hands tightly. She saw that the current situation was unfavorable to the imperial family. As much as she wanted to see Xu Ji Mo and the rest of the imperial family die an ugly death, she could not allow her maternal grandfather to sacrifice himself for the sake of Xu Ji Mo's safety. Thus, even if she wanted the a.s.sa.s.sins to succeed, she could not.

XuanRong stood up, planning to move towards the center of commotion when her hand was pulled back by Eldest Chen Furen.

"Where are you going ah? Don't leave our side, Rong'er!"

"But---- Grandfather!!!!!!"

XuanRong wanted to say that she could handle it but before she could even speak, she saw that Xu Ji Mo pushed Chen Zi Tao towards the rus.h.i.+ng sword.
