Transmigrated Canon Fodder, Please Calm Down! Chapter 464

Whenever the Emperor goes on a tour, there’s always some melodramatic assassination attempt to kill the “dog emperor.”

Every day, Xuanyuan Mo would take two concubines along on his patrols. On this particular day, it was Tang Guo and An Ningxiang’s turn.

Halfway through the journey, they were surrounded by a group of black-clad assassins. Although the Emperor’s excursions were naturally guarded by skilled warriors, there were always moments of vulnerability that assassins could exploit.

For instance, as soon as the assassins appeared, Xuanyuan Mo instinctively prioritized Tang Guo’s safety, leaving himself exposed to danger.

An arrow shot towards Xuanyuan Mo’s back. At the critical moment, An Ningxiang, who was standing nearby and visibly pale with fear, lunged without hesitation to shield him, taking the arrow herself.

By the time Xuanyuan Mo came to his senses, An Ningxiang was already semi-conscious. He quickly gathered her into his arms, his expression filled with a mix of anxiety and complexity, as if silently asking why such a stupid woman would do this.

Watching this unfold, Tang Guo merely raised an eyebrow. Without hesitation, she drew her soft sword and leaped into the fray, engaging the assassins in battle.

Xuanyuan Mo clearly hadn’t expected the usually delicate imperial concubine to wield a sword and confront assassins head-on.

Tang Guo showed no mercy. Her lithe figure darted among the assassins, and with each pass, her blade found its mark at their throats, leaving only lifeless bodies in her wake. Remarkably, not a single drop of blood stained her clothes.

Both the palace’s elite guards and the assassins were left in awe and terror at the sight of this stunning woman wielding her sword with deadly precision, every stroke claiming a life.

In just a short while, more than half of the twenty-odd black-clad assassins had fallen to Tang Guo’s blade. As she returned, her soft sword still in hand, her face was slightly pale, and a fine layer of sweat covered her forehead.

“Ah Mo, are you all right?” she asked, smiling faintly. Her soft sword, still dripping blood, let drops fall one by one to the ground, staining the dirt red. “Fortunately, the skills I learned in my youth haven’t completely faded. Even though my health has been weak these years, I’ve kept up with training. Otherwise, if you were in danger, I wouldn’t have been able to protect you.”

“I always thought these martial skills would be useless. But after today, I see they’re indispensable. Ah Mo, you’ve always treated me well, now I’ve finally found a way to repay your kindness.”

Her steps faltered slightly, and her grip on the sword seemed unsteady.

Seeing Xuanyuan Mo cradling the unconscious An Ningxiang, she said, “Honorable Consort An’s condition isn’t looking good, Ah Mo. You should take her back for treatment immediately. If you delay, it might lead to complications.”

Xuanyuan Mo stood there in a daze, momentarily captivated by the woman before him, but quickly snapped back to reality. An Ningxiang’s condition was indeed critical.

Without further thought, he carried An Ningxiang and hurried back with the group, summoning the imperial physicians for treatment.

During the treatment, the physicians revealed that An Ningxiang was one month pregnant. This revelation caused everyone present to exchange uncomfortable glances, especially Concubine Meng De, who had rushed over after hearing the news.

An Ningxiang had already regained consciousness. She looked anxiously at Xuanyuan Mo and Tang Guo. The imperial physician, misinterpreting her worry as concern for her child, reassured her, “The wound isn’t deep, Your Highness. Rest assured, the fetus is unharmed and will be fine.”

“Your Imperial Highness,” An Ningxiang said weakly, biting her lip as her pale face turned to Tang Guo. “This… this pregnancy was entirely accidental. A month ago, His Majesty drank too much and mistook me for you. Please…”

Before she could finish, Xuanyuan Mo held her hand and said, “Just focus on recovering. I will explain everything to the Imperial Concubine.”

Tang Guo responded with a serene smile. “His Majesty is right. Honorable Consort An should rest well. As His Majesty’s concubine, your pregnancy is a joyous occasion for the entire palace. Let’s not dwell on unnecessary matters.”

“For the Emperor, you disregarded even your own life. If I were to blame you, I wonder how the entire world would view me.”
