One of them quickly pulled out a firecracker-like object from his waist.
The firecracker exploded with a ‘bang’ in the air, blooming into a dazzling, eye-catching golden Juhua.
Before the ‘flower’ landed, the assassins coming from all directions had already arrived at their front, raising their swords rcilessly.
Nangong Shi, bred since childhood by his Empress mother as the future crown prince, had naturally exceptional martial arts skills.
In the face of life-threatening danger, he too began fighting the group of assailants.
The assailants were all highly skilled and relentless with every vicious slash and stab, especially aid at the vital points.
Were it not for the two exceptionally skilled guards and his own martial arts prowess, he would have been chopped into a pile of at long ago.
Although the two Secret Guards were masters and his martial arts were outstanding, even a strong tiger cannot withstand a pack of wolves.
Under the intense onslaught from the assassins, both guards were heavily injured, their movents began slowing down, and they seed to be running out of energy.
Even though the two guards vowed to protect him to their deaths, one assassin found a weak point and stabbed Nangong Shi, the edge of the sword thrust deep into his abdon.
It wasn’t a slash nor a clean cut, but a deep stab that went three to four inches into his body, almost thrusting through.
The pain from being hit in the vital spot almost killed Nangong Shi, but the assassins didn’t give him any chance to recover.
On the contrary, they increased the intensity of their attacks, aiming to take his life.
A few monts later, Nangong Shi was again struck by a sword; it didn’t hit a vital point, but it chopped off one of his arms.
Nangong Shi scread and suddenly fell to the ground.
With his arm severed, he was crippled, his chance at the throne was no more.
From now on, he would live under others’ pitiful gaze, his life had no aning anymore…
Seeing their master with a severed arm, both Secret Guards showed despair on their faces, fighting to the death with the group of assassins.
They wanted to reach their master’s side so they could protect him.
Just then, a loud whistle was heard from afar, dozens of the prince’s Secret Guards rushed towards them.
The masked assassins, seeing them approach, sheathed their swords, growled, and withdrew rapidly.
The two Secret Guards were too busy rescuing the prince to chase after the assassins.
One steadied the prince’s head and fed him a hemostasis pill, while the other quickly bandaged his severed limb…
The shocking news of the Prince being severely injured from the assassination attempt quickly reached the palace, and Empress Jin was stunned.
She grabbed the ssenger guard, repeatedly questioning, “Is this true?
Is this news true?
Are you sure?”
The captive guard shrank in fear, stuttering, “Your Highness… it’s… it’s… true…”
Hearing this, Empress Jin collapsed in her chair, her face pale, her body trembling uncontrollably, she chattered, “It’s over…
It’s over … my Shi…
ruined…”
The Palace Maids and Eunuchs of the Silk Palace all knelt down, covering their faces, sobbing quietly.
Li Shanggong, with tears streaming down her face, said, “Your Highness, you must gather yourself.
The prince is still waiting for you to make decisions…”
“It’s useless, it’s useless, it’s over, it’s over … ”
Empress Jin trembled, tears flowing like rain, “My Shi, it’s over…”
The Empress was devastated by this unfortunate news, she seed to have aged a decade, tears streaming silently, she was trembling and kept on repeating: “Shi, Shi … ”
