Chapter 407: Plot

The attendant had already hit her nose and mouth until they were bleeding, and the woman finally said coldly, "Alright, no more beatings! Who is this princess, and who is that frivolous woman? Why should this princess bother to compete with her? If anyone dares to say anything nonsense again, it won't be as simple as a slap in the face! This princess simply can't stand that woman's coquettish and frivolous behavior. She didn't want to tarnish my prince's reputation, so she deliberately taught her a lesson. That was just a compliment to her, how can it be considered a competition?"

Both followers whispered, "Yes."

The woman rested for a while and then chased into the mountains again.

It happened to be in the mountains, where there were few people, which made it convenient for her to teach the woman a lesson!

Chen Fenghe naturally noticed that someone was following her, which was within her expectations. She ignored it and just walked into the mountains while observing the traces around her.

It had just snowed, so the footprints of prey were easy to find.

She didn't intend to let a few stalkers ruin her hunting mood.

With a "swoosh", Chen Fenghe shot an arrow and hit a hare a hundred steps away.

"Got it!" Chen Fenghe laughed and ran towards the hare.

"Slow down, or you'll slip." Xiao Yunshuo said with a smile.

Of course he knew that Chen Fenghe was good at archery. He still remembered her heroic figure shooting arrows and killing wolves. So, catching a few little wild rabbits was naturally no problem for her.

Chen Fenghe quickly picked up the rabbit and waved it towards Xiao Yunshuo, then suddenly looked in one direction and did not go back.

Xiao Yunshuo was a little surprised by this, so he rushed over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Fenghe raised her finger and pointed at the marks on the ground, and said with a smile: "It looks like a wild boar. How about we have a competition to see who can catch the wild boar first?"

Xiao Yunshuo: "..."

"Forget it. Wild roe deer and rabbits are fine, but wild boars are a bit too dangerous..."

Chen Fenghe curled her lips in disapproval. It was not like she had never caught a wild boar before, so how could she be scared?

"You're not scared, are you? I learned hunting from a very capable master back home. Catching wild boars is no problem for me!"

"Be good, stop making trouble. Just consider it your victory, okay?"

"What do you mean I won? I don't need you to give in!" She said, pulling an arrow from her quiver and shooting it into the tree trunk. She smiled and said, "Let's split up and meet back here in half an hour, whether we hunt a wild boar or not. How about that?"

Xiao Yunshuo looked at her quietly for a while.

Chen Fenghe suddenly felt a little guilty. Could it be that... he saw through her thoughts?

Fortunately, Xiao Yunshuo didn't say much, and agreed readily, saying with a smile, "Okay."

Chen Fenghe breathed a sigh of relief and swiftly ran towards the boar footprints on the snow, saying with a smile, "Don't let me down. I won't lose to you!"

Xiao Yunshuo waited until she ran far away, then he smiled and shook his head, then walked in another direction.

The princess was delighted to see Chen Fenghe alone, and she came up with an idea.

She called her two followers over and whispered a few words to them.

The attendant looked troubled after hearing this: "Princess, this is a bit too much..."

"How is that excessive? I just wanted you to scare her and make her suffer. I didn't really want to hurt her. Could it be that you were also bewitched by her beauty and started to feel pity for her?"

After hearing this, the two of them hurriedly said, "We dare not."

"If you don't dare, just do as I say! Why all the nonsense?"

Chen Fenghe followed the wild boar for a while and then slowed down.

She was alone on purpose, with the intention of luring the woman who was following them to show up.

When she was in Youzhou City before, she had sensed the woman's hostility towards her. Now she followed her all the way to the mountains, which showed her to be very persistent.

She didn't like being spied on furtively, so she decided to ask directly.

The reason why she didn't ask in front of Xiao Yunshuo was because she intuitively felt that this woman might have a close relationship with the prince.

One of the bases is that the woman's hostility towards her should have started from the moment the onlookers in Youzhou City recognized her as the Crown Princess.

It can be seen that it was the "Crown Princess" who stimulated her.

Why would a strange woman be so sensitive to the words "Crown Princess"? The only possibility she could think of was that this woman had some connection with the Crown Prince.

But... from the time Xiao Yunshuo met that woman until just now, he never showed any sign of knowing her.

She could tell that the woman was dressed as a man, so she didn't believe that Xiao Yunshuo couldn't see it?

So, either he didn't recognize the woman, or he was playing dumb.

Chen Fenghe really wanted to believe it was the first one.

But for someone as rational and calm as her, it was a bit too much for her to ignore another possibility, especially a very high possibility.

That's why she wants to find out. It's better than overthinking and wasting her time. This is not her style.

Wild boars' nests are always relatively secretive, so the more Chen Fenghe walked, the denser the bushes became. She walked slowly, but her keen hearing and observation skills, trained over the years, allowed her to detect that two people were approaching her.

Suddenly, a man attacked Chen Fenghe as fast as lightning.

Chen Fenghe frowned slightly, flipped his wrist, and took out an anesthetic needle from the space.

The man obviously had no intention of harming her life. His attack was not a killing move, but an attempt to grab her wrist to control her!

Chen Fenghe glanced to the other side and saw two other people in the bushes still poised to attack, obviously waiting for the attacker to succeed before taking action!

The moment the attacker grabbed her wrist, the anesthetic needle in her hand had already been inserted into his palm and the liquid was injected quickly.

The man had a black cloth covering his face. He was first startled by the stinging pain in his palm, and then looked at Chen Fenghe with even more astonishment in his eyes.

In an instant, he lost all feeling in his wrist, and the numbness was spreading to his limbs and bones at lightning speed!

"Princess, don't..."

He tried to open his mouth to warn, but after saying only four words, he collapsed to the ground in an instant, unable to even move a finger!

What kind of poison is this? It's so dangerous!

Chen Fenghe narrowed her eyes slightly.

Princess?

This identity once again confirmed her guess.

Her heart couldn't help but sink a little.

Could it be that Xiao Yunshuo really knew this 'Princess', but deliberately pretended not to know her in front of her?

The warning failed, and the follower who was knocked unconscious by the anesthetic could only stare at his companions in the bushes with wide eyes, hoping that his companions would be more alert and never act "according to the plan" again.

The 'Crown Princess' before them was by no means as simple as they thought, nor as easy to 'teach a lesson'!

His companions were obviously also very alert and had already noticed the situation from his abnormal movements and expressions.

Unfortunately, although he discovered it, he was still a step too late and failed to catch his master.

"Chen Fenghe, you fickle woman, take my move!" The princess shouted crisply, and suddenly a small bamboo cage opened, and several long living creatures flew towards Chen Fenghe.

Chen Fenghe's eyes were cold, and he held a few small darts in his hands. He swung his arms quickly, and each small dart hit the long living creatures, nailing them one by one to the ground or the surrounding tree trunks.

There was a rare silence in the air. Five or six snakes were pinned by the darts, twisting their bodies in disgusting pain.

One of them was almost touching the princess's cheek and was nailed into the tree trunk behind her.

"Ahhh!" The princess felt a cold touch on her cheek and screamed in fear.

"Princess!" Another follower who was not restrained shouted in shock. Just as he was about to rush over to save people, his body suddenly stiffened. Not only could he not move, he couldn't even utter a word.

Just now... someone hit his acupoints with a stone, blocking his movement and muteness!

Fortunately, the princess was not too stupid. She soon discovered that the snake did not fall on her, but was nailed into the tree trunk behind her. Her face turned pale and blue, and she felt extremely embarrassed.

The two followers who had lost their freedom of movement also looked at Chen Fenghe in astonishment and wariness.

this……

How come they haven’t heard that the Crown Princess can use hidden weapons... The snakes were thrown at her without any pattern, but she pinned all the snakes with darts in the blink of an eye!

If these darts hit them, not to mention protecting the princess, it is hard to say whether they can dodge them!

Chen Fenghe's eyes quickly swept over the nailed snakes, then retracted her gaze and looked at the woman in front of her: "Who are you? Why are you plotting against me?"

The woman saw that her plan had failed. Not only did she fail to teach Chen Fenghe a lesson, but she also made a fool of herself. She was so angry that her face turned green.

"Chen Fenghe, Crown Prince...it's not even been a year since Crown Prince's body was cold, and you're already remarrying someone else. Are you worthy of Crown Prince?"

Shen Fenghe narrowed her eyes coldly.

Prince brother?

This title has confirmed her guess.

Xiao Yunshuo...as expected, he knew this princess!

But...why didn't he reveal any flaws in front of her? Why did he hide it from her?

"What are you two still standing there for? Why don't you teach this fickle woman a lesson? Are you going to watch me get bullied by her?"

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Shen Fenghe's lips.

This is really strange.

She was ambushed and had a snake thrown at her, but she managed to dodge it with her own ability, and nothing happened. Now she is being bullied?

Just as she was about to teach the woman a lesson, she suddenly glanced behind her and stopped at the moment before taking action.

Seeing that her two followers ignored her orders, the woman glared at them angrily.

Only then did they realize what was wrong with the two of them. One was in front of the other, one was lying down, the other was standing. Except for their eyeballs, no other part of their bodies could move!

The woman then looked at Chen Fenghe in horror: "You...what did you do to them! Why didn't they move or speak?!"

Chen Fenghe glanced at her indifferently without saying a word, then turned behind the woman again.

The woman felt creepy for some reason and turned her head slowly in fear.

Then she discovered that on the branch behind her, there was a snake covered with black scales, spitting out its tongue and looking at her sinisterly.

"Ahhhhhh!" the woman screamed in horror.

However, this scream actually startled the snake. The snake suddenly stretched its neck towards her, bit her neck hard, and then ran away along the tree trunk!

The woman's legs went limp and she fell to the ground, and then the fear in her eyes quickly faded.

Shen Fenghe's face was as cold as frost, with no expression.

The snake that bit the woman was a poisonous one. If she wasn't rescued, the poison would spread throughout her body in a matter of seconds and she would die.

Of course she saw the poisonous snake, but she had no obligation nor kindness to stop or warn anyone.

She also had serum to cure this kind of snake venom in her space, but she was also not obligated to detoxify her.

After all, this woman had just pointed at her, beat and scolded her, and even threw a snake to bite her.

What's more, she was probably just a little fangirl of Xiao Yunshuo - or even a childhood sweetheart?

At this moment, Chen Fenghe felt that his body and mind were permeated by a dark and cruel emotion.

This emotion is called jealousy.

She didn't want to save anyone at all, and even... wanted the woman to die...

"County...Princess!"

The follower, knocked down by the anesthetic, shouted out with difficulty.

The attendant who had been pinned down by the acupuncture points suddenly regained his mobility and rushed over in fear, shouting, "Princess! Princess, wake up! Princess!"

However, the princess was already on the verge of death, so how could she respond at all?

The two followers looked as pale as death in an instant.

They were ordered to protect the princess, but now the princess has been bitten by a poisonous snake and is about to die. How can they go back to report!

what to do?

Suddenly, something flashed through the follower's mind.

He suddenly looked up at Chen Fenghe, then knelt down with a plop, kowtowed, and said: "——"

"My Lady Crown Princess, I've heard you're an exceptionally skilled doctor. Please, please, save my princess! We're the ones who deserve death this time, having plotted against you. But the princess...she just felt bad for the Crown Prince, so she came up with this plan...to get revenge on you. The snakes you told us to catch were all non-venomous. She really only wanted to scare you, not to kill you! Please, Lady Crown Princess, have mercy on me and save my princess!"

Chen Fenghe looked at him indifferently.

If she hadn't seen that those snakes were non-venomous, the three of them would probably have died by now.

But just because a non-venomous snake was used, can we simply treat this as a prank and pretend it never happened?

If she was not a special forces military doctor who traveled from modern times, but just a weak woman, who could guarantee that those snakes would not scare her to death on the spot?

After all, why should she save the people who hurt her?
