Chapter 489: Guarding Prince Rong's Mansion
Thinking about how she once said that Ling Jinlan did not have the demeanor of General Ling at all, it now seems that she was narrow-minded and prejudiced, and was unwilling to understand Ling Jinlan.
She couldn't be more wrong.
Regret everything I did to Ling Jinlan in the past.
But I don't know if she still has a chance to make amends.
Du Wanyun's eyes were also red as she asked everyone to push the bookshelf against the door.
"Jinlan is right, we can't drag them down!"
Everyone pushed the heavy bookshelf hard against the door, and looked at Ling Jinlan who was fighting bravely outside, tears streaming down their faces.
This bookshelf blocked the enemy, but also blocked the way for Ling Jinlan and the guards.
They couldn't get in either.
Princess Rong choked up and cried, filled with regret.
The killer outside quickly climbed into the yard and started killing people.
The guards fell one after another.
Only Ling Jinlan was still holding on, her sword soaked in blood. At least hundreds of lives were taken by her sword.
At the same time, Prince Rong and Qin Huaizhao were leading their men to Jincheng.
The mighty army galloped forward, their iron hooves breaking through the darkness.
Ling Jinlan's face was covered in blood and her body had multiple injuries. She didn't know how long she could hold on.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a lot of footsteps outside.
Ling Jinlan's heart sank, wondering if there were more enemies entering the palace.
If the enemy continues to increase in number, we won't be able to stop them tonight...
But this slight worry soon disappeared.
Because there was a sound of fighting outside.
The killer who was fighting with her suddenly became nervous and wanted to escape immediately.
But it was pierced by Ling Jinlan's sword.
"The prince and the eldest son are back!" Excited shouts came from outside.
This sound was particularly inspiring.
Everyone in the study had tears in their eyes and quickly moved the bookshelf away.
Ling Jinlan opened the gate to confirm whether Prince Rong had returned.
The moment the gate was opened, Qin Huaizhao rushed in anxiously. The moment he saw Ling Jinlan, his heart almost jumped out.
"Jinlan!"
Seeing that it was Qin Huaizhao, Ling Jinlan's heart finally calmed down. Her body could no longer support her and she fell into Qin Huaizhao's arms.
"Jinlan!"
At this time, everyone in the study came out.
When Prince Rong arrived and saw so many people alive, he finally felt relieved. At first, when he entered the palace, he found it empty and thought that there were no survivors.
Princess Rong and everyone else had tears on their faces.
Du Wanyun threw herself into Prince Rong's arms, "Your Highness... I thought I would never see you again."
"It's good to be alive! It's good to be alive!" Prince Rong patted her back.
Du Wanyun quickly looked at Ling Jinlan, "It was Jinlan who protected us."
"She must be seriously injured!"
Prince Rong looked at the fainted Ling Jinlan with a bit more admiration in his eyes. This girl really opened his eyes.
"Huai Zhao, take Jin Lan to rest first and check her injuries. I'll take care of the remaining killers."
Qin Huaizhao nodded, hugged Ling Jinlan and hurried away.
Princess Rong hesitated to speak and quickly left the yard.
The assassins in the palace fled in all directions, but thousands of troops had already returned and not a single one could escape.
Qin Huaizhao carried Ling Jinlan back to the room, undressed her first to check her body for external injuries to see where the injury was most serious.
I was worried that there was no clean water to wipe the blood.
Suddenly, several maids came and brought some clean water.
"Master, the water is ready, and the doctor is on the way. Please tell us what we need to do."
With help, Qin Huaizhao checked the external injuries on Ling Jinlan's body. Fortunately, there were no injuries to vital parts and no particularly deep wounds.
He bandaged her one by one and changed her into clean clothes.
He used a handkerchief to wipe the blood off Ling Jinlan's face and hands bit by bit.
The doctor came soon.
After checking her pulse, he said, "Young Madam, this is due to exhaustion. The injury is not life-threatening. Don't worry, Young Master."
"You'll be fine after a few days of rest."
After saying that, he planned to get some medicine.
At this time, Princess Rong came in, holding a few boxes and placed them on the table and opened them. "These herbs should heal injuries faster, right? Give them to Jinlan."
The doctor's eyes lit up, "These herbs are not cheap."
Qin Huaizhao was also shocked, "Mom..."
"Use it quickly. Jinlan is trying her best to protect us this time. Even if I am confused, I can still tell good from bad." Princess Rong urged.
The doctor then prescribed a medicine based on these herbs to achieve the best effect.
After that, Princess Rong stayed in the room and watched Ling Jinlan finish drinking the medicine, and refused to leave.
At this time, the riot in the mansion had been quelled and all the killers had been eliminated.
The servants in the mansion were cleaning up the damaged yard and putting out the fire in Du Wanyun's yard.
The fire had not spread across the courtyard wall, so it only burned Du Wanyun's yard.
The injured guards were also taken away for treatment.
The dead were also carried out of the house one after another and prepared for burial.
In the room, Qin Huaizhao covered Ling Jinlan with a quilt and turned to look at Princess Rong.
"Mom, you're also frightened. Go back and rest. You'll be fine after a good sleep."
Princess Rong shook her head solemnly, "I want to wait for Jinlan to wake up."
When she thought about how she had troubled Ling Jinlan in the past, she wanted to slap herself twice.
"I treated Jinlan badly before, always making things difficult for her and looking down on her. When the assassins attacked today, I insisted on leaving through the back door, but I didn't expect that there were assassins outside."
"She could have saved me without caring about my life or death, but she still saved me."
"I misunderstood her, damn it."
As she spoke, Princess Rong choked up and was extremely sad for Shao Pei's death. If it weren't for her, Shao Pei wouldn't have died.
Qin Huaizhao also had mixed feelings. He was relieved that his mother finally knew Jinlan's good qualities, but he was also afraid that something big would happen in the mansion, where only Jinlan and five hundred guards were guarding it.
He should have stayed in the mansion at that time.
If something really happened to Jinlan, he would never be able to forgive himself.
"Mom, Jinlan never blamed you."
"Don't think too much. I'll take care of Jinlan. You can go back and rest first."
"It's almost dawn, and there's still a lot to do in the mansion."
Princess Rong stopped making trouble and got up and went back to her room.
But who in the palace could sleep that night?
The house was cleaned up all night and it was finally not so messy by dawn.
Ling Jinlan also woke up.
"Jinlan, you're awake." Qin Huaizhao was guarding the bed and was delighted.
Ling Jinlan felt relieved when she saw Qin Huaizhao, "Luckily you guys came back in time, otherwise I really don't know how long I could have held on."
Qin Huaizhao held her hand, his eyes reddened. "We counted the bodies of the assassins last night, more than 800 of them. Including those we killed later, there are over a thousand people in total."
"Jinlan, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid the mansion wouldn't be able to protect so many people."
Who knows what the scene is like now, with rivers of blood and a hell on earth.
Ling Jinlan was also a little surprised after hearing this. There were actually thousands of people.
She had forgotten everything, she only remembered killing and killing, but she couldn't remember how many people she had killed.
Looking at Qin Huaizhao's shining eyes, she felt a little panicked. "I've killed so many people, don't you think I'm scary?"
