I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 111: Do you think this is normal?

Her heart beat in time with the warm red light, and the warmth of her blood, whether from others or herself, was enough to give her a moment of peace.

It was only after the battle was over and she was alone that Chu Shao could forget her fear completely because at that point, she wouldn't gain or lose anything more. 

"Ah ah ah - - -"

What ultimately brought Chu Shao back to reality was the scream that sounded after the sharp weapon was stabbed into flesh.

Chu Shao was stunned.

Looking up, she saw the guard who was the fastest to pull out his weapon and the first to approach her, curled up on the ground, holding the short blade that was plunged into his abdomen and rolling in pain.

Everyone at the banquet was shocked, their eyes wide open as they watched the fallen guard, and they didn't even realize they had accidentally knocked over their bowls and chopsticks.

Even Xiao Shuang, who usually remained expressionless, widened her eyes slightly.

She looked incredulous, and the peacock feather fan in her hand almost fell to the ground.

Xiao Ruoyu... how dare she!?

Ignoring the astonished gazes of the crowd, Xiao Jin placed the scabbard on the table, slowly raised her hand, and wiped off a few drops of blood that had splattered on her face in an extremely indifferent manner.

The knuckles were stained red with blood, and a slender, pale arc revealed an exceptionally morbid beauty.

Then she placed her fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair, and spoke gently and calmly to the Emperor Qi who was sitting above him: "Your Majesty, the Princess is not feeling well, so I will represent her in this sparring match."

Before Emperor Qi could speak, Xiao Jin's eyes were covered with white gauze, and she stared at the few guards with pale faces: "If you want to spar, just come and find me, I will accompany you at any time."

....

The courtiers who attended the banquet were extremely frightened and excited at the same time.

Because for the past hundred years, Qi Country had never seen a prince who wanted to kill someone in front of the emperor.

Moreover, no one knew how the Prince Yan managed to avoid being searched before entering the palace and secretly hiding a short blade.

All they knew was that even if the Prince Yan didn't die this time, she would be imprisoned for life.

The Empress was the first to react, trembling as she raised her hand and pointed at Xiao Jin, scolding her, "Prince Yan, how dare you! You privately carried a dagger into the palace banquet. What do you intend to do? Someone, quickly arrest this thief for me!"

The guards on both sides of the high platform immediately drew their weapons and headed towards Xiao Jin with murderous intent. But just as they took a few steps, they were stopped by another voice.

"Who dares to move in this palace!"

The timid courtiers, looking at Xiao Shuang who spoke coldly on the high platform, were already trembling like sieves. 

They regretted attending this palace banquet. 

This wasn't a banquet, it was a disaster. They were afraid that the situation would change drastically.

The Empress's face turned pale, and she suppressed her fear and anger as she spoke to Xiao Shuang, "Princess, the behavior of the Prince Yan is an unforgivable crime of rebellion!"
