As soon as he spoke, several guards rushed in, grabbing Chen Han, Ouyang Zhi, and An Xiaomian.
Ouyang Zhi struggled madly, then dashed over to hold An Xiaomian, who had just been woken from sleep. Pointing angrily at those around him, he said, "If you don't want to die, stay back!"
Then he tried to console the newly awoken An Xiaomian, "Xiao Mian, don't be afraid, I'll protect you..."
But just as he lowered his head, Chen Wei suddenly gave a signal, and immediately a guard stepped forward, striking Ouyang Zhi in the back with a fierce blow.
Ouyang Zhi instantly felt sharp pain in his back, and unable to stand steadily, he collapsed to the ground with An Xiaomian.
Chen Han quickly kicked away the guards attempting to grab him, and rushed over to help Ouyang Zhi and An Xiaomian up, furrowing his brows as he shouted at the middle-aged man opposite him, Chen Wei, "Uncle, neither my friends nor I have harmed Your Majesty, there are servants in this room who can testify for us."
