Shangguan Yu’s voice was cold and bitter. Every word fell into Shangguan Han’s ears and smashed into his heart, causing him to take a step back.
However, he still caught the main point of Shangguan Yu’s words and retorted,
“You’re spouting nonsense. Concubine Li is clearly…’
He had never seen that woman before, but because of Shangguan Yu, he still addressed her respectfully as his mother.
“What was it? She bled to death when she gave birth to me? Heh.” Shangguan Yu was too seriously injured and his entire left shoulder had yet to recover its senses. His body swayed, and he leaned against the wall to prevent himself from falling. He sneered. “But why did she bleed so much? Isn’t it because your mother fed her a bowl of medicine?”
There was a clang.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. It was Su Yun.
She was still covered in blood and was standing at the door of the side hall looking at Shangguan Yu in shock.
She was clearly like this because she had heard Shangguan Yu’s words just now. Song Jingchen frowned. He didn’t think his aunt would attack a pregnant woman, but Aunt Su Yun…
She wasn’t denying it. She was shocked. How did Shangguan Yu know this?
Suddenly, whoosh!
An air-piercing sound suddenly sounded.
Everyone suddenly came back to their senses and saw Shen Yijia’s whip knock away a silver needle that was about to reach Song Jingchen’s throat.
A few more silver needles flew out of the darkness.
Shen Yijia’s face turned cold. She swung her whip and knocked them all down. Unexpectedly, a silver needle pierced the back of her hand.
She casually pulled out the needle and threw it to the ground. She scolded in a certain direction, “Which shameless person is playing sneak attacks behind my back?”
“Ha, it’s indeed you.”
A light and pleasant female voice sounded. At the same time, a group of four descended from the sky and landed in front of Shangguan Yu.
The woman in the lead was dressed in red. It was none other than Ji Yunxi.
Song Jingchen waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly stepped forward to protect Shangguan Han. A row of archers also stood up.
“What do you mean it’s me? Are you crazy? Do I know you?” Shen Yijia stood in front of Song Jingchen and said fiercely.
The expressions of three women behind Ji Yunxi changed and they wanted to attack Shen Yijia.
She raised her hand to stop him and smiled. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t know me now. You just need to know that we’re family.”
“Nonsense.” Shen Yijia looked disgusted. “How can you be so shameless? I’d rather be family members with a dog.
Ji Yunxi’s eyes turned cold, and her fingertips moved slightly.
Song Jingchen was silent. Why did these words sound a little wrong?
He pulled the furious Shen Yijia behind him and instructed with a frown, “Archers, get ready.”
The people from the Valley of Heavenly Secrets were too dangerous. He was unwilling to fight them head-on.
The bowstring was pulled taut, and the atmosphere suddenly became murderous.
Ji Yunxi let go and chuckled. “I’m not here to fight.”
Perhaps because she felt that talking to Shen Yijia was too infuriating, she looked at Song Jingchen. “How about a deal?” Song Jingchen said, “I don’t want anything.”
He raised his hand..
“Wait,” Ji Yunxi said. “How would you know that I don’t have what you want if you don’t listen?”
She took a box from someone beside her and opened it.
“Heart-Devouring Herbs!” Shen Yijia recognized it at a glance.
“Heart-Devouring Herbs!” Shen Yijia recognized it at a glance.
In order to make it easier for Uncle Yang and the others to search, MO Yuan specially drew a few pictures. Shen Yijia had seen them many times, so she naturally recognized them.
“We can find it ourselves.” Since they knew that it was in the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, it was only a matter of time before they found it.
Ji Yunxi sighed. Since this was not enough, then…
She clapped her hands and MO Yu walked in from outside Yangxin Hall. Song
Jingchen’s pupils constricted when he saw the person she was holding hostage.
“Mother,” Shangguan Han exclaimed.
Song Li’s mouth was stuffed with a cloth, and her hands were tied behind her back. She kept shaking his head with red eyes.
“I wanted to catch a few more, but your subordinates are too difficult to deal with. However, I guess this one should be enough, right?” Although she said that, Ji Yunxi looked relaxed.
The real Song Li had been sent out of the palace by Song Jingchen last night and settled down with the rest of the Song family.
It was precisely to prevent anyone from threatening them that Shen Yijia sent You Yi back to protect them.
If it were ordinary experts, You Yi, MO Yuan, One Dot, and the others would be enough. Who would have thought that Ji Yunxi would appear personally?
“What exactly do you want?” Shangguan Han gritted his teeth.
“It’s very simple. Let me take His Second Highness away.” Ji Yunxi looked at
Shangguan Yu. “Actually, even if you don’t let him go, I can still take him away.
I just don’t know if you can bear to sacrifice your people for nothing..”
