Chapter 1962: Why Not Just Pull the Person Away?

Attendant Zhou’s face paled. With the pain in her back, the disappointment in her failed plan, the system’s punishment, and her kidnapping, survival was no longer guaranteed.
Fear, disappointment, pain… All manner of emotions flooded Attendant Zhou’s tormented heart.
What emperor would care about a little third-class seventh-ranked female attendant like her?
Attendant Zhou looked at Ning Shu. If the empress hadn’t pulled the emperor away, she would have been his savior.
Ning Shu, naturally aware of Attendant Zhou’s gaze, looked at her resent-filled eyes and inwardly sneered.
If she had enough time to hug someone and block a knife then why not just pull the person away? What was the point of trying to block the knife?
Nutjob!
Lying in his arms while bleeding out…Was it impossible to save someone without bleeding to death?
Nutjob!
Would it take longer to pull him away or to rush into his arms to block the knife?
Idiot!
Ning Shu’s expression was stern as she shouted at the dancer. “Audacious assassin, let go of Attendant Zhou and accept your arrest!”
“Even if I let her go, that incompetent tyrant wouldn’t let me live. Zhao Xu, you’re a dog. To have killed my entire family… my only regret is that I failed to kill you.” The dancer looked at Zhao Xu with bloodshot eyes.
Zhao Xu looked cold. He didn’t care about the dancer’s words. His expression was one of contempt and his gaze was lofty.
Which emperor in history hadn’t wiped out a clan or two?
“Do you know what your father did? You’re just a woman in the inner courtyard who doesn’t have a clue, yet you’re still trying to take revenge.” Zhao Xu coldly said, “Arrest her.”
“Stay away! Zhao Xu, you truly are cold-hearted. Don’t you care about your concubine’s life?” The dancer’s face changed. “You killed the minister at the drop of a hat. You have no mercy! You’re a tyrant.”
Had she managed to kill that dog of an emperor, then she’d be willing to die. But now that he didn’t even have a scratch on him, she wasn’t willing to die like this.
Zhao Xu didn’t speak but his attitude was self-evidently uncompromising.
Attendant Zhou’s face was as pale as paper. A chill passed through her. Was Zhao Xu giving up on her? Even if it was just a task issued by the favored concubine system, she hadn’t hesitated to block a knife for him.
Yet there he was, ready to give up on her.
Tears streaked down Attendant Zhou’s cheeks and she looked at Zhao Xu pleadingly. He glanced at her and looked away.
“Don’t hurt Attendant Zhou,” Zhao Xu calmly instructed the guards.
Attendant Zhou felt both rage and ridicule. This unreliable person had left her with no choice but to help herself. She began to plead with the favored concubine system. “Is there any way to get me out of danger?”
Due to excessive blood loss, Attendant Zhou felt cold. The assassin’s body pressed against her wound, compressing it, and causing her pain.
“I can generate a lightning strike. The two of you are close together. You will transmit energy to her body so she’ll also feel the lightning.” The favored concubine system’s mechanical voice was cold.
Attendant Zhou: …
At that moment, Attendant Zhou didn’t know how to feel. It was like wanting to cry but not having tears to do so.
