The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 607 Masked Man

Si Ning said without hesitation: "Prince, have you read too many picture books? Let me tell you, I am not that kind of person as you. I will not choose one of the two, I will choose both of them, I want to keep both of them!" Her voice revealed determination and courage, and she was not afraid of Hilton's threats at all.

At this moment, Hilton was playing with the sword in his hand, with a look of surprise on his face, and he said sarcastically: "Oh, I didn't expect that you, the empress, are still so infatuated. However, if you still want to save them, there is another condition. It's very simple. As long as you take out your heart with the sword in your hand, as long as you die, I will let them go." There was a hint of madness in his eyes, as if he was expecting Si Ning's response.

The two were shocked by Si Ning's words of choosing between two options, and were moved. In fact, people's hearts are made of flesh, and at the critical moment, Si Ning's words came from the heart.

Just now, facing Hilton's threat, they became nervous. In fact, they all wanted to know who Si Ning would choose at this time. But to their surprise, Si Ning said that he would choose both. This was something they had never expected.

"Dream on!" Yuan Yi almost roared out these two words, the sound making people's ears buzz.

Si Ning frowned, and tried to recall every detail of her past life, but she couldn't remember what deep hatred there was between her and the prince. Moreover, she and the prince had never met in her past life. So, she decided to find out the truth: "You hate me so much that you even want to kill me. But please tell me, why do you hate me so much? I really can't remember when I have ever offended you."

Hilton held a long sword in his hand and pointed it at Si Ning fiercely. His eyes were full of resentment and he said viciously, "You vicious woman, do I need to say more? Of course it's because you killed my Duo'er!"

"Princess Duo'er? Is she the envoy from the Western Regions who came to visit our country?"

"That's right!"

"But her cause of death has nothing to do with me!" Si Ning explained quickly.

Hilton was so angry that he was shaking all over. He was extremely emotional. "Shut up! I have received accurate information. It was you who approached her on your own initiative, but got angry because of a disagreement. Then you ordered your secret guards to brutally kill her. You are such a cruel woman. Why did you do such a cruel thing?"

Si Ning was very helpless and thought to herself: "What is going on? Neither the king nor the regent knew about your visit, so how could we possibly meet your envoy?" She couldn't help feeling confused, but still remained calm.

Si Ning patiently explained again: "When your country sent envoys to visit our country, neither I nor my subjects had ever seen your envoys. So, how can there be any disagreement in words? Could it be that your secret report was wrong?" She tried to convince the other party with reason, but the other party seemed unwilling to listen.

Prince Hilton completely ignored Si Ning's explanation, holding the sword, continued to point it at her, and shouted angrily: "No matter what you say, I will not believe it! Blood debt must be repaid with blood, this is a matter of course! Today, I will use your blood to commemorate the soul of my Duoer!" His voice was full of hatred and determination, which made people shudder.

Chen Ke frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "You are an inexplicable person, you are simply a lunatic! Our empress has explained it to you very clearly. We have never seen your envoy. You are simply blinded by hatred!" He expressed strong indignation at Prince Hilton's behavior.

Upon hearing this, Prince Hilton immediately pointed the tip of his sword at Chen Ke, his eyes wide open, and roared, "Madman? Well, then, I, a madman, will kill you first!" His emotions became more and more agitated, as if he had lost his mind.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Si Ning shouted loudly: "Stop! I agree to your request!" Her tone was firm and decisive, hoping to calm the dispute.

Si Ning raised her sword with a determined look, her voice sonorous and powerful: "As the empress, I have the country and my people in front of me. Life and death are not up to me! And these two are people in my harem, I must protect them! If I can't even protect the people in my harem, how can I continue to sit on this throne with dignity!"

Yuan Yi looked at Si Ning nervously and shouted anxiously: "Ning'er...don't do it!"

Si Ning sighed inwardly. She had never thought that her strategy in this life would fail so badly. She had just met a few male protagonists and had not yet started her strategy, but she was already facing such a dilemma. She couldn't help but wonder why it turned out like this?

Si Ning held the long sword and slowly moved it to her neck. At this moment, there was a whoosh sound, and a hidden weapon flew from nowhere, accurately hitting the sword in the hand of the empress Si Ning, causing it to fall to the ground.

Si Ning looked up in surprise, and saw a masked man appearing on the platform. He was tall and imposing, but Si Ning felt very familiar with him, but couldn't remember where he had seen him before. At this time, Jun Yuanxun happened to break through the formation from the east.

Jun Yuanxun saw Si Ning and asked with concern: "Ning'er...are you okay? Are you hurt?"

The masked man also saved Yuan Yi and Chen Ke at this time, then turned right and said to the empress: "Stop the loss in time, too much is as bad as too little!"

Si Ning was a very smart person. She immediately ordered: "Pass the order down, sound the retreat!"

After An Ning led the army down, Si Ning, Jun Yuanxun and several generals were discussing how to break the formation.

At this time, a soldier came to report that Master Yuan Yi and Chen Ke had started quarreling in the tent, and the quarrel was so fierce that they could not be stopped.

Si Ning felt a little annoyed. Why were these two people acting like little children? He was discussing with several generals how to break the formation, but they were so ignorant.

Jun Yuanxun smiled helplessly: "Ning'er...how about this, I will discuss it with a few generals first, and you go and take a look first. These two are young men, and their martial arts are extraordinary. If they really fight, it will be terrible. It will not be good for us!"

Si Ning frowned, but still nodded: "Okay, I'll go take a look. You guys continue to discuss and come up with a solution as soon as possible." After that, she turned and left.

Si Ning heard their quarrel from a distance. Yuan Yi put his hands on his hips and shouted at Chen Ke in front of him, "It's not that you are incompetent and drag me down. I'm so powerful, how could I be caught! It's all because of you that His Majesty is worried about me!"

Chen Ke sat on the table, took a sip from the teacup on the table, sneered and said: "Humph, this is ridiculous. It is obviously you who acted recklessly and without considering the consequences. If I hadn't been by your side to protect you, you would have died countless times."

Yuan Yi was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Chen Ke and cursed: "What do you mean by this? Are you saying that I am brave but not wise?"

Chen Ke still had that cold look on his face, and replied calmly, "It's good to know."

Yuan Yi was furious, but she couldn't think of how to refute him. She was so angry that her face turned red, and she could only grit her teeth and say, "You..."

At this time, the masked man at the side looked at the two people arguing, sighed helplessly, and advised: "You two stop arguing, as long as you are fine. That formation is indeed very strange. Before we figure it out, we must not easily break in."
