After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 548: Assassination Attack

"Go quickly and come back quickly, don't linger in battle."

Upon hearing this, the guard hesitated slightly and opened his mouth as if to say something else, but his arm was grabbed by his companion.

The group exchanged glances, then quickly looked away and headed in another direction.

Lin Rusi looked at the child in her arms, gently kissed the smooth forehead, and then slowly closed her eyes.

But just as she was about to fall asleep, a strange smell reached her nose, and she immediately opened her eyes and looked outside.

Not right.

Lin Rusi wanted to notify the guards, but she was worried that the noise in the room would alert the people outside, so she could only raise her hand to straighten the blankets covering Changning.

Did the baby have a nightmare?

"Well."

The child's humming was accompanied by a slight murmur from the surroundings, which relieved Lin Rusi.

But before they could do anything, they heard a noise outside.

"careful!"

The guards gasped in surprise, then emerged from the shadows, warily watching the windows and doors.

Even with these precautions, they warned that group of people not to risk coming in.

But the people outside weren't afraid at all; instead, they forced their way in and slashed at one of the men's knives.

The force was so great that even Lin Rusi could see the hand shaking continuously.

"Protect the lady well; these people are not simple."

With this low shout, the others dared not stand still and quickly attacked the other attackers.

They originally thought their speed was so fast that no one would be able to react in time.

However, to the guards' surprise, the opponent blocked the attack and was almost slashed back.

No one expected this. They tried to move again, but a hand pressed them to the ground.

With an opening created, the group moved even faster, heading straight for Lin Rusi.

Realizing this, she didn't hesitate to pull the person into her arms and roll away to hide by the door.

The man hadn't expected Lin Rusi to react so quickly; he raised his weapon and slashed at the door again.

Unexpectedly, the guards rushed to the front to defend against the attack.

"Madam, hurry! This matter is not so easy; we must act quickly!"

"it is good."

Lin Rusi had been watching the battle between the two sides. Without the slightest hesitation, she rushed out, but just by the door, she seemed to remember something and threw the porcelain bottle into the room with all her might.

Knowing that the guards had been following closely, they could naturally distinguish between poison and medicine. They immediately caught the medicine in their hands and skillfully applied it to the bleeding wounds.

In the next instant, they dared not pause and immediately became entangled with the group of assassins who had launched the sneak attack.

Lin Rusi glanced at the backyard, then at the main gate next to the stairs, and finally decided to rush out through the door.

"mother?"

"Changning, don't be afraid. How about your mother takes you away from here to find your father?"

Upon hearing this, he sensed something was wrong and tried to peek out from under the blanket, but was pulled back down by the hands that were wrapped around him.

Lin Rusi looked at the distance ahead, picked up another porcelain bottle with her free hand, and prepared to throw it if anyone attacked.

Just as she was thinking about what to do, a dark figure appeared behind her.

Noticing the commotion, Lin Rusi was about to turn around and throw the porcelain bottle at the other person when she felt a pain in her back and fell forward.

Worried that the child would get hurt, she struggled a bit and let the child lie in her arms before falling to the ground herself.

Once he was sure Changning hadn't flown away, everything went black and he fainted.

"lady!"

Upon hearing this soft cry, the dark figure that had attacked Lin Rusi did not pause and immediately charged towards the two of them.

They hadn't expected the man to react so quickly, but they still drew their weapons and fought back swiftly.

The next instant, a clear sound suddenly came from behind.

Without thinking, the two immediately stood back to back, each blocking one direction.

"I'll hold them off, you take the lady away."

"You think this is possible?"

How will you know if you don't try?

After saying that, the man rushed towards Lin Rusi.

Seemingly not expecting such a rush, the group was stunned for a moment before preparing to attack.

"Madam has medicine."

"Then use it."

The guard blocked the three falling knives, gritting his teeth and growling.

The next instant, the powder was directly sprayed onto the faces of the three people from behind.

With a muffled groan, the three men collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony as they covered their eyes.

"Notice."

As soon as the two words were spoken, the assassin, who was about to move forward, quickly retreated, but still managed to keep the length of his blade long enough to injure someone.

The guards naturally noticed this, and their expressions darkened.

How much medicine powder is left?

"I'm not sure. Madam is unconscious right now, and I can't just take it out myself. Why don't you let the young master do it?"

The guard blocking the way kicked backward in disgust, then grabbed Changning, who was being held by Lin Rusi, and pulled her into his arms.

The other person also understood what was going on. In a gust of wind, he quickly smashed the porcelain bottle open, and the powder immediately flew towards the group of people opposite him.

But what's left isn't much, and it won't have much effect; it just makes people groan.

The stinging pain fueled their discontent, and they suddenly charged towards the two men with a burst of speed.

Seeing this, they felt a sense of foreboding and exchanged a glance at the person standing next to them.

"Same as always, how are your injuries?"

"Thirty percent."

"Haha, it seems I'll keep 50%."

Upon hearing this, the other person glanced at the man and then noticed that there was a lot of blood on his clothes, so he could only throw the medicine he was carrying over.

As he reached back to take Changning from his arms, a crossbow bolt shot towards his arm.

The guard suddenly raised his hand and used the long sword, which had already broken in two, to block it, but was knocked away the next moment.

"I'm also prepared to use a counterattack."

"If you really want to fight back, you should shut up and stop talking so much."

He quickly pulled out two pills, one for each of them, and then shoved the dagger from his waist into their hands.

"We can't escape, so let's give it a shot."

The man couldn't help but sigh, then stuffed two more pills into his mouth before holding the dagger in front of him.

The next moment, the crowd surrounded him.

But how could two people possibly be a match for four assassins coming down from upstairs? They were quickly knocked to the ground.

They were all stunned by what they saw. They tried to struggle, but were knocked unconscious by the back of the knife.

"What do we do now? Take them all back?"

"Master, take them all back and remember to clean them up so that no one with ulterior motives can find them."

The five men exchanged a glance, then immediately split into two groups and quickly led the person to a mansion.

After everyone had finished cleaning, someone cautiously peeked out and looked around in confusion.

"Am I dreaming? Why do I hear fighting sounds?"

He tried touching his head to make sure he didn't hear any more sounds, then yawned and went back upstairs to his room on the roof.
