Part 1: A Dream Within A Dream / Rebirth of Ill Fated Concubine

Chapter 098 Turning Point

The emperor was well protected, but the assassins did not limit themselves to the emperor's life. They killed whoever they caught in the palace. 

The women in the women's seats were all unarmed women and young ladies. The assassins specifically targeted the women in the women's seats. For a while, only the sound of blood and flesh splashing, screams and shouts were heard. Even if you only heard the sound, you knew what a tragic scene it was.

Jiang Susu had already been scared and hid under the table, watching a beautiful young lady being chopped into two pieces in front of her. She was so scared that her face turned pale, but her temperament was calmer than Jiang Li who only knew how to scream. Xia Yan was also scared to death, hugged Jiang Susu in her arms and hid under the table. The two of them hid under the corpse, and at first glance, nothing could be seen.

Jiang Dan was also scared to death, but she did not hide, nor did she scream like Jiang Li. In the chaos, she showed a calmness. After thinking for a while, she made up her mind and ran towards the men's seat.

No one expected the sudden change. The emperor was transferred very quickly. He thought the assassins would stop, but they were so mad that they killed without hesitation. It was easier to get into trouble when the palace was in chaos. 

Jiang Xinzhi could no longer see Jiang Ruan in the chaos, but as a deputy general, he could not abandon the women and children in the room. He had to fight the assassins while searching for Jiang Ruan in private.

The Zhao family also joined the battle, but these assassins seemed to have received precise training. They were not in a hurry to deal with people with martial arts, but only went among the women and children. The guards and generals had to consider not to hurt the ministers' families by mistake, so they were inevitably merciful, which gave these assassins a chance and made them more unscrupulous.

Zhao Jin and Wen Feifei were from a family of military commanders. They were not panicked in the face of such a situation, and showed a rare calmness. Zhao Jin said, "Feifei, take the sisters out first, I will go to find Sister Ruan and Ying'er."

Wen Feifei hesitated: "Can you do it alone?"

"It's okay, I will be careful." Zhao Jin settled the sisters and picked up the soft sword dropped by a killed assassin on the ground. Just then, Dong Ying'er was forced into a corner by an assassin, and the soft sword in the assassin's hand was about to stab Dong Ying'er's chest. 

Zhao Jin was anxious and threw the soft sword at the assassin's back. She threw it very hard, and the assassin couldn't dodge in time and was stabbed, and the sword in his hand slid down weakly. Dong Ying'er had been so scared that she burst into tears. 

Seeing Zhao Jin at this moment was like seeing her lifesaver: "Jin'er." Zhao Jin hurried over to help her up: "Are you okay?" Dong Ying'er looked behind her and opened her eyes in fear. 

Zhao Jin felt something strange and turned around to see a fierce face: "Go to hell!" Then a silver light flashed, and Zhao Jin closed her eyes in despair. Unexpectedly, she felt her body lighten and heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. 

She opened her eyes in shock and saw a young man holding her and Dong Ying'er in one hand. He had a long sword in his hand and danced very well. Zhao Jin was born in a family of military generals. She had watched his brothers and father practice swords since he was a child, but he had never seen anyone dance the sword so beautifully. His eyebrows were not as rough as her father and brother, but he had a kind of elegant and handsome like a scholar, but his handsomeness was also accompanied by a hint of perseverance and courage. 

Dong Ying'er was also stunned, and her cheeks suddenly turned red. Jiang Xinzhi rescued the two and placed them in a corner: "Stay here, don't move." After saying that, he joined the battle without looking back.
