Chapter 46 The Soulless Princess Yong'an

She has been highly respected since she was a child. Has anyone ever spoken to her in such a frivolous way?

Thinking of this, Yongan immediately became furious, his face flushed and he shouted sternly: "Chen Er, how dare you be rude to this princess!"

Shen Yue didn't care at all. She fanned herself and walked briskly towards the door, urging, "Little Princess, hurry up and catch up, or the morning market will be closed."

"What? Here it comes!"

When Yong'an heard that the morning market was about to close, she no longer had time to be angry. She hurriedly picked up her skirt and hurriedly chased after them.

Chang'an Avenue is carpeted with verdant trees, and willow branches droop gently, like a girl's soft hair, swaying softly in the breeze. Sunlight filters through the branches, casting a crisscrossing shadow on the bluestone pavement, creating a truly beautiful scene.

The streets are bustling with people. Shops have already opened for business and small stalls have been set up along the streets, selling clothes, paintings and calligraphy, handicrafts... Of course, the most numerous are snack stalls.

Yong'an was holding a sugar man in his hand and trotting after Shen Yue, while her maid Qiu Shuang was panting and couldn't catch up with her.

"Chen Er, slow down! Qiu Shuang can't keep up, and... I didn't bring any guards with me today."

There was a hint of nervousness in Yongan's voice, and he seemed a little scared.

Shen Yue stopped with a smirk on her lips, her eyes swept over a burly man with a beard in front of her, and she immediately understood.

"My dear Miss, this Sifang City is located on the border of the Three Kingdoms. It's full of rugged gentlemen, nothing like the weak scholars in the capital. If you're afraid, you might as well return to the capital as soon as possible."

"Who said I was scared?" Yong'an said stubbornly, but his hands were tightly holding Shen Yue's sleeves.

Shen Yue couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, Miss Yongan is always ready to chop people, how could she be afraid of these ordinary people?"

As she spoke, she went to the breakfast shop nearby, bought two beef patties, and gave one to Yong'an.

Before she left, she asked Xiao Yuheng for a lot of money. If she bought more things, she could make a profit, right? Hehe.

Yongan took the meat pie and took a bite. His eyes lit up instantly, "It's so delicious!"

“But Chen Er, this gentleman…this lady has said that I have never killed anyone. If Qiu Shuang had not instigated me yesterday, I would not have thought of killing anyone.”

Speaking of Qiu Shuang, Shen Yue looked back and saw that she was still running hard behind him, her face flushed red and her forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.

She doesn't look like she knows any martial arts, but I didn't expect her to be so cruel and ruthless.

Shen Yue picked up her beef patty, took a bite, and continued walking forward.

"Qiu Shuang is just a maid, why do you listen to her?"

Yongan hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed.

"Of course, it's because she was right! She said that as long as I went to Lingyin Temple under the pretext of burning incense, I could escape from the palace and go to Sifang City to find the emperor's uncle. Look, I really escaped and met the emperor's uncle."

The more Shen Yue listened, the more she felt something was wrong. "Are you saying that she ordered you to escape from the palace?"

Yongan blinked his big eyes and nodded, "But she is doing this for my own good."

When Shen Yue heard this, what was there to not understand? This idiot was sold and still counting the money!

She is a princess after all and has reached the age of marriage, but she is so brainless. Shen Yue really doesn't know whether to say she is naive or soulless.

"How many years has Qiu Shuang been with you?"

Yongan's eyes flickered, and he hesitated, "Less than a month."

Shen Yue almost laughed out of anger when she heard this, "You ran away with someone after just knowing each other for less than a month?"

"It's not about knowing each other for a month, it's about being with me for a month."

Yong'an puffed out his cheeks as he chewed and corrected, "She is the maid of the late Noble Consort. Seeing that everyone around me was clumsy, the late Noble Consort arranged a good maid for me."

Haha, it really works. I’m urging you to find your dream lover. How can it not work?

"Is there any problem, Shen Er?" Yong'an's eyes were clear with a hint of stupidity.

"Nothing, this Concubine Wan..."

Just as Shen Yue was about to ask about the background of this Concubine Wan, Qiu Shuang caught up with her breathlessly and stood in front of Yong'an.

“Princess, this Shen Er is very cunning, you’d better stay away from him. Come on, follow me!”

As she spoke, she took Yong'an's hand and walked forward.

Qiu Shuang pulled Yong An along and trotted all the way to a jewelry stall. She whispered:

"Princess, don't forget, it was this boy who spoke rudely to you yesterday. Didn't you agree this morning to teach him a lesson? Why are you still chatting with him endlessly?"

"Uh, I forgot." Yongan scratched his ear.

"Besides, he didn't say anything rude to me today and even bought me a lot of delicious food."

Qiu Shuang saw that she only cared about eating, and she felt a blackness in front of her eyes:

"Oh, Princess, how can you be bribed by such petty favors? Don't forget, he is the bedmate of His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, and the biggest obstacle to your becoming the princess!"

Yongan slapped his forehead when he heard this, "Oh, how could I forget about this? I can't talk to him anymore. Let's go shopping by ourselves!"

"Um!"

The two of them were careful and walked forward quickly. Shen Yue was not in a hurry and followed slowly behind. She ate the fried cakes, candied fruits, mung bean cakes, steamed dumplings, and drank a bowl of almond tea.

It was not until Qiu Shuang took Yong'an into an alley while she was not paying attention that she curled up a wicked smile and walked towards the nut stall not far away.

There was no one in the narrow alley, and it became quieter as he walked in. Yongan felt a little scared as he walked.

"Qiushuang, didn't you say you were going to take me to eat tofu pudding? Why did we come to this alley? Let's go back, okay?"

Qiu Shuang's lips curled up into a dark smile, "Princess, this most delicious tofu pudding is just ahead, just follow me."

"Okay...well, is Shen Er back here? How about we wait for him?"

"Don't worry Princess, he's following us and should be here soon."

As Qiu Shuang spoke, she looked back and made sure that there was no one behind her before she coughed lightly.

The next moment, two rows of masked men in black suddenly appeared in front of them, holding up big swords and slashing towards Yong'an.

Yong'an screamed in fright and subconsciously pulled Qiu Shuang to run back, but Qiu Shuang pushed her away with a look of determination and ruthlessness in her eyes.

"Princess, farewell!"

Then she chuckled and retreated behind the man in black.

"Forever...forever?"

Before Yong'an could react, the black-clad man's sword had already struck her head like lightning.

A flash of cold light, a line between life and death.

Just then—

"Swish swish swish——"

Yong'an only felt a sudden burst of dense air-breaking sounds above his head, and countless hazelnuts flew in the air, hitting the wrist of every man in black with astonishing speed and accuracy.

She only heard a few screams before the big swords in the hands of the men in black fell out of their hands and clattered to the ground.

The next moment, a figure in white descended gracefully like a banished immortal, and the dagger at his waist was suddenly drawn out, sweeping across the neck of the man in black behind him.

Then, he stretched out his right hand, suddenly pressed down the head of the man in black in front, and slammed it hard against the wall!

"Bang--"

There was a loud bang and bricks and stones splashed everywhere.

The black-clad man's head was like a broken watermelon, his brain splattered and blood splattered everywhere.

Shen Yue came to Yong'an, who was pale and trembling with fear, and looked at her with a smile.

"Do you still want to eat tofu pudding?"
