In a daze, Judge Zhong heard Lin Yi's words before slowly closing his eyes.

"Someone come quickly, Judge Zhong is unwell, call for the Imperial Physician immediately!"

At Lin Yi's command, he then hurried towards the Imperial Study Room.

In front of the Imperial Study Room, the Left and Right Martial Guards were in disarray, struggling to catch a dozen or so stray dogs; everyone was tangled up, and the scene was chaotic.

They completely failed to notice a group of strangers dressed in the Left and Right Martial Guards' armor sneaking into their ranks.

Looking at Keke's accomplishments, there were already seven or eight dogs lying at its feet, covered in bite wounds and unable to get up, with about a dozen more running amok in the ranks.

After Keke's fighting spirit was fully aroused, it became ever more valiant in combat and, within a short span of time, had bitten two more dogs.

However, it was at this moment that, among the Martial Guards, a voice was heard from an unknown source.

"There are only three dogs left, everyone take out your swords, don't let them escape!"

Next, there was a clamor of flashing sword fights.

Having stayed in the Imperial Palace for too long, these Martial Guards had not drawn their swords in a real fight for quite some time.

Now they were actually drawing their swords to deal with a few running stray dogs, which was a complete misuse of their skills.

Yet, amidst the flashing blades and swords, Keke suddenly let out a tragic cry, and in the next second, it pounced onto the Military Guard who had drawn his sword and wounded it, fiercely biting back.

For some unknown reason, another Military Guard beside also raised his long sword, preparing to strike down on Keke.

Realizing that something was amiss, Keke forcefully leapt up, making a beeline for the interior of the Imperial Study Room.

Aoao——

With two mournful cries, Keke immediately drew Luoluo over.

Seeing the injured Keke, Luoluo furiously pounced forward, standing in front of Keke.

At the same time, the Left and Right Martial Guards at the outer door took this opportunity to charge in, swinging their long swords with menacing force.

The young Emperor and Ying Yi also realized that something was wrong. By right, they were not allowed inside the Imperial Study Room.

Why, at this time, would they dare to defy orders and enter the Imperial Study Room?

When the young Emperor saw the fierce and malevolent look in the eyes of a few Martial Guards, he instantly understood that people from the old eunuch's faction had infiltrated their ranks.

"Ying Yi, not good, the rebels have infiltrated among the Guards."

Seeing them rushing in and shouting loudly to kill the beastly dogs!

Ying Yi stepped out from behind the Bullet-Proof Umbrella, clutching pistols tightly in both hands.

This scene made it instantly clear to Ying Yi; they took advantage of the pretext of killing Keke to shamelessly infiltrate the Imperial Study Room, then they were preparing to make an attempt on the young Emperor's life.

"Keke, Luoluo retreat quickly, protect Your Majesty!"

At Ying Yi's command, he gripped the pistols, firing ten continuously shots at the feet of the Guards outside the door.

Bang bang bang——

Lin Yi, still on his way back, heard the sound of gunshots and instantly sensed that matters had escalated to an extremely critical juncture.

"Damn it! They actually dare to lay hands on my wives, young and old!"

Lin Yi wished he could immediately fly to the Imperial Study Room to protect the young Emperor and Ying Yi.

The berserk Left and Right Martial Guards heard Ying Yi's gunfire, forcing them to halt in their steps.

Ying Yi seized the moment to shout loudly, "Are you trying to rebel and defy His Majesty's Holy Decree? Everyone get out of the Imperial Study Room now, or face execution without mercy!"

Upon hearing these words, the true Guards exchanged looks, realizing their impulsive actions, and voluntarily retreated outside the door of the Imperial Study Room.

However, only about a dozen of the fake "Guards" who didn't budge an inch were left. They were still holding long swords, their eyes seemingly fixated on the injured Keke, but actually secretly seeking the best angle to assassinate the young Emperor.

Unfortunately for them, the young Emperor was shielded by a huge Bullet-Proof Umbrella, and they couldn't see clearly.

Ying Yi eyed these few unrelenting "Guards," understanding they were indeed the rebels.

He then warned, "Are you sure you dare to defy the Holy Decree? If so, you are left with only one path—to death."

They had already been given the chance to turn back, but alas, they did not cherish it.

Ying Yi whispered to the bullet-proof umbrella behind her, "Your Majesty, I'm going to shoot now, please cover your ears."

Then, Ying Yi aimed at their heads and pulled the trigger, with the loud bangs of gunfire. Five fake Military Guards fell to the ground at once.

Seeing their cover blown, the fake Military Guards no longer cared for subtlety, bringing out their hidden weapons and throwing them at Ying Yi.

But Ying Yi didn't give them the chance. As soon as they drew their hidden weapons, Ying Yi's bullets had already penetrated their heads.

With that, all the dozens of fake Military Guards lay on the ground.

"Hiss!"

Ying Yi was momentarily careless and suddenly took an arrow to the arm, causing intense pain.

"It was my oversight," Ying Yi said weakly and then collapsed to the floor.

The arrow was poisoned!

"Ying Yi!" The young Emperor heard the sound of the fall and knew Ying Yi was injured, she rushed out without a second thought.

"Someone, someone! Summon the Imperial Physician!"

The young Emperor, holding the injured Ying Yi, screamed towards the outside door like mad.

The Left and Right Martial Guards, upon hearing the young Emperor's command, immediately went to call the Imperial Physician, but not a single one dared to enter.

At this moment, Lin Yi rushed over in a state of utmost urgency.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

While calling out, Lin Yi lunged towards the young Emperor, and upon seeing the young Emperor was unharmed, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

However, when he saw the injured Ying Yi in the young Emperor's arms, his face turned pale.

"What happened to Ying Yi?" Lin Yi asked with eyes full of anxiety; knowing that Ying Yi's arm injury must have been sustained while saving the young Emperor.

"Ying Yi was wounded by a hidden weapon, and these people lying on the ground are all rebels," the young Emperor's voice was choked with emotion.

In the young Emperor's heart, Ying Yi was her closest sister. Ying Yi being injured for her sake pained her more than anyone else.

Hearing this, Lin Yi did not hesitate to lift Ying Yi onto the Dragon Couch.

"My dear wife, find somewhere to sit and stay put, I will save Ying Yi first, you must not run around."

The young Emperor nodded with tears in her eyes, silently praying in her heart that nothing serious would happen to Ying Yi.

Immediately, Lin Yi tore open Ying Yi's clothes, exposing the injured arm, and carefully helped remove the hidden weapon.

"How dare you lay a hand on my woman! You're really asking for death."

After that, Lin Yi disinfected the wound, applied medicine, and bandaged it. He then purchased some antidotes from the Nine-Eyed Mall and gave them to Ying Yi.

Ao Ao—

Just then, Luoluo Keke, who was hiding in a corner, let out a sad cry, looking at Lin Yi with pitiable eyes.

"What? Keke is hurt too?"

Lin Yi was greatly shocked. When he entered, his whole heart was filled with concern for the safety of the young Emperor and Ying Yi, but he had overlooked Keke and Luoluo.

Seeing a chunk of flesh on Keke's waist almost falling off and the body covered in blood, Lin Yi felt deeply pained. It was clear that the brave Keke must have just undergone a fierce struggle to escape from death's grasp.

"Keke, hold on, don't move, I will bandage you up."

[Ding Ding Ding, host successfully purchases one medical surgery kit, two large rolls of medical gauze. 100,000 Heavenly Bead Coins paid.]

Ao—

Keke responded softly, quietly waiting for Lin Yi's surgery.

While Lin Yi was stitching up Keke's wound, Divine Doctor Zhang arrived with a medicine box on his back.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, your disciple greets Master."
