I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl - Chapter 376 The Empress’ Reward

They stared blankly at the woman who used two tables as weapons to deal with all the assassins, and couldn't help but feel lucky that they didn't taunt each other in person.

My goodness, that was a solid wooden table that required five or six eunuchs to lift together to slowly move. It was so big and so heavy, but this woman actually carried them one in each hand and ran around everywhere, and even hit people with them...

Is this a normal person? Is this someone they can afford to offend?

Before the group of people, who were still frightened but secretly rejoicing, had time to breathe a sigh of relief, Bai Jingzhou had already quickly grabbed the wrist of one of the eunuchs.

Bai Jingzhou, who encountered the accident before he had time to retreat, did not join Mu Hanzhi, the palace maids, and eunuchs to act as a human shield. He stood alone, using tableware to restrain the assassins that Gu Wenxuan could not take care of for the time being.

This was something that everyone witnessed, and they thought that he only did this one thing, but they didn't know that he was actually still observing those who were closest to the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince, namely the eunuchs and palace maids.

The eunuch who suddenly attacked when Gu Wenxuan was dealing with the second group of assassins, Bai Jingzhou had caught the fleeting ferocity and hatred in his expression as early as when the first group of assassins was dealt with by Gu Wenxuan.

The eunuch didn't know that he had been secretly monitored by Bai Jingzhou. When the second group of assassins rushed towards the platform, he took advantage of the other eunuchs and palace maids' unpreparedness, took out a slender dagger that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve, turned around and stabbed the emperor.

As she screamed with her eyes closed, the eunuch grasped the dagger and stabbed at the emperor's throat, while Bai Jingzhou threw a teapot full of hot tea and a large porcelain basin originally used for water shield soup at his wrist.

The water shield soup in the large porcelain basin had been distributed to the royal family members by the palace maids. Only one large porcelain basin was left, which had not been removed in time. Because of the sudden commotion, a palace maid who was at a loss and followed the others to stand in a row in front of the emperor, empress, prince and others threw it beside the table.

Because this thing is the heaviest "hidden weapon" within the range of Bai Jingzhou's strength, Bai Jingzhou has never been willing to throw it away.

There was also the pot of hot tea. Although there was no kitchen in the Yanxi Palace, there was a tea room. All the hot tea during the banquet was brought over from the tea room by the palace maids. Because they were so close, the temperature of the tea was very touching.

Bai Jingzhou poured a pot of hot tea on the eunuch's wrist, and his wrist, which had been held steadily forward, suddenly began to tremble subconsciously.

He finally overcame the uncomfortable feeling of his skin being almost burned, but Bai Jingzhou threw a large porcelain basin with a lot of weight at him.

The eunuch's wrist was knocked off balance, and the dagger drew an arc in the air as his wrist moved sideways passively.

At this time, the emperor, the crown prince, Mu Hanzhi, and other eunuchs had also reacted.

With his forearm broken and the dagger falling uncontrollably to the ground, the eunuch no longer posed a threat under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Perhaps knowing that he had no chance of survival, he bit the wax ball in his mouth and tried to commit suicide by taking poison.

Of course the emperor would not let him die so easily, and he immediately called over the imperial physician whom he trusted.

As for the group of men in black outside the palace, the guards had already killed or captured them all.

Mu Hanzhi is different. As one of the emperor's most trusted ministers, he stood before the emperor without hesitation today. Naturally, the emperor would entrust him with important tasks.

So he got the opportunity to lead the investigation into the assassination.

As for Madam Mu, who has always been with the Queen, although the royal family did not reward her separately, there is an old saying that "the husband's honor and the wife's status". Since Mu Hanzhi has gained more favor because of this matter, Madam Mu will naturally rise with her husband in the future.

It is worth mentioning that Hua Zhihe, a notoriously lonely and loyal minister, is also among the main officials in charge of the investigation.

Of course, these are still beyond the reach of Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan. All they can do is to protect the emperor's family at the critical moment, and be careful to hold back and leave some survivors for Mu Hanzhi and others.

Yes, Gu Wenxuan did not kill those assassins, they were just seriously injured by her.

Although Gu Wenxuan was not sure how many of them could survive, she was confident that she would not let them all die.

After the situation calmed down, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou received generous rewards from the Emperor and Empress for their contributions in rescuing the emperor.

After leaving the palace, Bai Jingzhou handed all these things to Gu Wenxuan for safekeeping, while he continued to work with others to prepare for the exam.

For several days afterwards, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou did not go out again. Even for the New Year's goods and festival gifts to be sent to the Mu Mansion, Gu Wenxuan sent Yang Wandong and others to buy them.

During the time when the two of them stayed at home obediently to avoid attracting attention, their family actually received quite a few visiting invitations, but Gu Wenxuan rejected them all on the grounds that Bai Jingzhou and others had to prepare for the exam behind closed doors.

Those people were really crazy to assassinate the emperor during the New Year's Eve. The most important thing was that they could appear in the palace quietly. There must be more than just that eunuch who was behind the incident.

Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou don't want to get involved in a major case like this, which could lead to the Nine Clans Elimination Game, Three Clans Elimination Game, or the Whole Family Elimination Game.
