In her past life, Xiao Yuxuan was recognized by the Xiao family. In order to win back the affection of her parents and three elder brothers, she fought with the fake daughter for half her life, onl...
Chapter 350 Revenge
Xin Xihe was lost in his own emotions and didn't notice his distorted face, which happened to fall into the eyes of Bi Sui, who was running down from the carriage in a panic.
Hearing the commotion outside, Bihui and the others panicked and tried to get off the carriage.
However, the carriage was knocked about by the mad horse and was about to fall over. They finally managed to climb out of the carriage and were about to search for the princess in the crowd when they saw a scene that made their eyes widen in horror.
The Crown Prince and Princess Chang Le were both knocked away by the mad horse, like two fragile butterflies, and disappeared instantly at the edge of the cliff.
Lan Xin and the others collapsed to the ground, their legs giving way, their faces filled with disbelief.
That's the Crown Prince and the Princess!
He is both the crown prince and their master.
However, they were too far away to do anything but watch as the person was hit and fell, unable to even rush forward to stop them.
As Bi Sui watched her young lady disappear from sight, her legs went weak for a moment, but her gaze was drawn to another Qilin Guard who shouted "Crown Prince".
She remembered that this was the Qilin Guard who had volunteered to scout the cliff earlier!
It was him! He must have ruined her daughter!
Otherwise, he would never have shown such a sinister and evil expression. It must be that he took the initiative to scout ahead, but in reality, he was working with other spies who were lying in ambush here!
The moment this thought popped into her head, it spread wildly through her mind like a rampant vine.
Bi Sui felt her blood rush to her head. The girl, who usually couldn't even draw her sword, was now able to snatch the longsword from the guard's hand and rush over with a cold face.
"Bi Sui?! Bi Sui, where are you going?!" Lan Xin was the one who noticed that something was wrong with Bi Sui.
She panicked and tried to stop Bi Sui, who was holding a sword, but she tripped over a coachman who had fainted, and ended up only tearing off a small piece of Bi Sui's skirt.
"Bihui? Bihui, don't do anything foolish!" The other two maids also sensed something was wrong and rushed forward to stop her.
But Bi Sui ran fast. When the swords and spears came down from the side, she didn't dodge at all, as if she would kill someone to take her down with her even if she died!
"Hmm—"
A cold, sharp weapon pierced through his waist and abdomen, causing an intense burst of pain in an instant.
Xin Xihe snapped out of his euphoria at his success and looked down to see a small, blood-soaked sword tip protruding from his body.
He turned around in disbelief to see who it was, who had so decisively taken his life. He felt the sword inside his body suddenly spin half a circle, and the excruciating pain of his internal organs being torn apart constantly assaulted his brain.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
"Was it you? Did you kill my girl?!" Bi Sui's voice was hoarse, like a demon from hell. "I finally, finally, could stay by my girl's side. Do you know how I spent those two months before that?"
"You...you're crazy?" Xin Xihe turned his head with difficulty and saw Bi Sui with bloodshot eyes.
He recognized people quickly, and at first glance, he knew she was a maidservant from Princess Chang Le's side. He found it utterly absurd, "You're nothing but a lowly maidservant who came with you as part of your dowry, and you still want to avenge your mistress?!"
Lanxin and the others were all startled. The three of them were old acquaintances from the Princess's residence. Although they served Princess Chang Le together, Bi Sui was brought from the Xiao family after all. At first, it took them a while to get along before they finally cooperated and developed a tacit understanding.
However, they had never seen Bihui look like this before.
This is a ferocious expression that disregards life and death, and seems to want to devour human flesh, drink human blood, and gnaw on human bones.
Xin Xihe was stabbed in the waist and abdomen, but he was, after all, a member of the Qilin Guard selected from among thousands, and his skills were far beyond those of ordinary martial artists.
If it is a martial artist who intends to charge in with great force, he can also use his years of practice to locate them by sound.
However, ordinary people, with their hearts pounding and their breathing disordered, were caught up in the chaos of the crowd running around. In a daze, he mistook her for an ordinary maidservant who was running away in a panic, so he did not take any precautions.
I never imagined that I would be defeated by a little maid who doesn't know martial arts, only has a strange loyalty to protect her master, and charges in headfirst!
Xin Xihe had long harbored murderous intent. Even if he were to die today, he would drag this audacious little maid down with him!
No sooner said than done, Xin Xihe raised his right hand and swung his sword—
"Clang—" The longsword was blocked by another scabbard that was lying diagonally across it.
It was one of the other Qilin Guards who noticed something amiss!
There was a traitor among the Qilin Guards, and it was none other than Xin Xihe, the leader of the team!
Soon, Bihui, who was trembling uncontrollably, was pushed backward, and several maids immediately caught her.
However, tacitly, none of them questioned Bi Sui about why she suddenly sprang into action, drew her sword to assassinate the Qilin Guard, and even succeeded!
Lan Xin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. "What do we do now? The Crown Prince and the Princess have fallen off the cliff, and now this place is in complete chaos..."
Bi Sui's eyes were vacant, like a soulless puppet: "I'm going to find my daughter."
As she spoke, she broke free from the two people supporting her and stumbled down the mountain.
"Hey, Bihui!"
They also longed to find the princess themselves, but with only a few young ladies and it already dark, they feared they might not find her even by dawn!
Lan Xin gritted her teeth and stamped her foot resolutely: "Never mind, I'm going to find the princess too. You two stay here and take good care of the princess's dowry! Once these rebels are captured, go to the nearest city government office and ask them to send troops to reinforce us!"
After saying that, she followed closely behind Bihui, who was distraught but walking quickly.
"Sister Lanxin is so anxious she's carrying a torch!" Chengyan was sweating profusely with worry.
Qin Yuan was much calmer than her. It wasn't that she wasn't anxious, but she also knew that Lan Xin's suggestion was the best solution.
Now, all they can do is hope that the Qilin Guards can safely take them to the nearest city.
"Chengyan, take this!" Qinyuan picked up the two bloodstained knives at her feet and handed one to Chengyan.
Bihui just reminded her that no one can be relied on right now; the only reliable thing is the sword in her own hand!
Bi Sui and Lan Xin didn't care whether the wildly growing short branches would tear their skirts or scratch their skin, nor did they care whether their jewelry would be snagged and fall off.
Bi Sui ran faster and faster, as if afraid that if she was too slow she would not be able to save Qi Yuxuan. Lan Xin followed behind, silently holding up the unlit torch.
The two ran for an unknown amount of time before finally making it down the mountain.
At this moment, the sky had completely darkened.
Lanxin stopped, took out a tinderbox, lit the torch, and then called out to Bihui, who was running headlong ahead without regard for direction.
"Bihui! Wait for me! You don't have a torch, how can you see clearly? Aren't you afraid that even though the princess is right beside you, you'll miss her because it's too dark to see her?!"
