The assassin's eyes flashed with murderous intent when he saw that the Empress did not stand still as he had demanded.
At the same time.
A figure swiftly ran over, pulled the Empress, and shielded her behind himself.
The sharp Dagger plunged into Ye Qichi's back in an instant.
Everything happened so suddenly that many people didn't even have time to react.
By the time they reacted.
The Emperor had already ordered the assassin to be captured.
The assassin believed she had completed her mission.
With that stab, Ye Qichi was bound to die.
Clenching her teeth, she bit into the poison pill she had prepared beforehand and swallowed it.
After swallowing, she spat out fresh blood.
The assassin died on the spot.
The Emperor strode over, looking at the assassin in front of him, his face showing extreme discomfort.
"Dissect her body into five parts!"
"Yes." The Imperial Guard responded with utmost respect.
