Chapter 1848: The Ancient Zha Tribe Will Wipe Out All Liao DogsChapter 1208 Doctor! Doctor!

The imperial guards surrounding him were also several meters away. Even though they were highly skilled martial artists and much faster than the palace maids, their distance disadvantage meant they couldn't protect Li Chen in time.

In a flash, Li Chen only heard the eunuch who had given the warning from behind shout: "Your Highness, be careful!"

Then Li Chen felt his collar being pulled back violently.

He staggered back a step, and it was precisely that step that allowed Li Chen to narrowly avoid the palace maid's dagger.

With a tearing sound, Li Chen's shirt at his chest was slashed open, but he wasn't hurt.

Upon missing her blow, the resentment and viciousness on the palace maid's face intensified.

She didn't have time to say anything more. She drew her dagger back and swung it at Li Chen's heart, aiming for a second strike.

With this brief moment of delay, Li Chen's eyes blurred, and a eunuch had already stood in front of him.

Then only the dagger was seen, plunging suddenly into the eunuch's chest.

The eunuch's body trembled, his eyes widened, he stretched out his hands and tightly grasped the handmaiden's wrist, preventing her from drawing the dagger. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, but he still shouted, "Catch the assassin!"

Twice being blocked, the palace maid was filled with resentment.

She struggled to pull her arm back, trying to get the dagger out, but the eunuch held on tightly, preventing her from succeeding.

When it happened, it was as quick as saying and hearing the words. Though I could describe it in detail, the whole event took place within a few breaths' time.

Before the palace maids could struggle, the eunuchs from the Imperial Guard had already rushed over.

The palace maid, though ruthless, was in fact just an ordinary person with no martial arts skills.

Immediately, he was surrounded by Imperial guards wielding swords and forced to kneel on the ground.

Before the palace maid was hacked to death by the Imperial Guards, Li Chen said coldly: "Spare her life."

"Send the imperial physician over to treat his wounds."

Li Chen instructed the people around him, then walked to the eunuch whose chest was still pierced by a dagger and asked, "What's your name"

So-called attendants were actually just the lowest ranking eunuchs responsible for cleaning around the Hall of Study and its surroundings.

Li Chen nodded and said, "You did well, your protection of the palace is commendable. For now, please remain silent and wait for the imperial physician to attend to you. After his diagnosis, this palace will naturally reward you accordingly."

Although he was weak from excessive blood loss, a strange flush appeared on Xiaogzi's face when he heard Li Chen's promise.

He nodded gratefully, tears welling in his eyes. "Thank you, Your Highness," he said.

Soon, Xiaozi Jian was taken away by the guards for treatment.

Xiaochuanzi, who was usually not well-liked by the Imperial Guards, was treated with great respect at this time.

Because everyone understands that Xiaogongzi protected the procession this time, he will probably be promoted very quickly in the future.

Glancing coldly at the maidservant kneeling on the ground, Li Chen said: "Take her to Baifang Hall. This palace will interrogate her personally."

After finishing his words, Li Chen frowned and walked directly towards the Hundred Flowers Hall.

At the entrance of the Baihua Hall, Zhao Rui, who had received news of Li Chen's assassination attempt, rushed out in a hurry and happened to meet Li Chen arriving with a large retinue.

"Your Highness!"

Zhao Rui's face was pale with alarm as she rushed to Li Chen's side and asked, "Were you attacked Are you alright Were you hurt"

Zhao Rui didn't wait for Li Chen to reply. She saw the cut on his chest and immediately panicked, "Your Highness, you're hurt! Where are the imperial physicians!"n that dragon throne one day.Every single picture, it made him feel a surge of excitement and passion.He said to Li Chen, "Your Highness, your humble brother is not talented, but he is also willing to...
