Chapter 19 Be careful

The Duke's wife waited for a long time, but Xu Qingyan never complained in her heart.

At this moment, she was very anxious and whispered, "Why don't you say anything?"

A maid in an apricot-colored long skirt was seen walking towards the princess in the distance, holding an exquisite Ducheng tray. At this time, the Duke's wife heard Xu Qingyan's inner scream.

[It’s this maid! It’s her, it’s her! She put the dagger under the delicate silk in the serving tray! She planned to stab the princess with the dagger the moment she uncovered it, but...]

Before Xu Qingyan finished complaining in her heart, she saw her mother-in-law, the Duchess's wife, suddenly disappear from her side and pounce towards the maid.

The Duchess' wife shouted anxiously to the princess, "Princess, run away! This maid wants to kill you!" With the Duchess' wife's exclamation, the entire banquet hall suddenly became chaotic.

Xu Qingyan looked at the Duke's wife's actions in surprise, and asked in confusion: "Mother, how did she know that the maid was going to kill the princess? She just rushed over like that. Isn't this stealing the heroine's job? It's written in the book that when the maid stabbed the princess with a dagger, Xu Qingyue stepped forward and pushed the princess away, causing the dagger to stab her shoulder."

The maid holding the serving tray suddenly had a gloomy look in her eyes. She pulled out a dagger, threw the tray at the Duke's wife, and stabbed the princess with the dagger.

Thanks to the advance warning from the Duke's wife, the princess was already surrounded by many guards, and she soon got into a fierce fight with the maid.

Seeing that the maid was gradually unable to cope with the situation, the Duke's wife finally let go of the worry in her heart, but at this moment, she suddenly heard Xu Qingyan's voice again.

Xu Qingyan said anxiously in her heart: [Oh! Although this maid is dying, they still have a trick up their sleeve! The real killer of the princess is a poisonous snake. If you are bitten by it, you will die within three days. By then, even if the king of heaven comes, it will be useless. Go and find it quickly. There is a poisonous snake in the corner swimming towards the princess. ]

After hearing Xu Qingyan's thoughts, the Duke's wife muttered, "Venomous snake, where is the snake here?"

She looked around for a long time, and finally found the venomous snake, which was swimming towards the princess. The Duke's wife didn't think too much and immediately pounced on the venomous snake.

"Ah! Mother, what are you going to do!" Pei Jinyu couldn't help but scream when she saw the actions of the Duke's wife.

Xu Qingyan was attracted by Pei Jinyu's scream and subconsciously looked towards the Duke's wife. At the same time, she also saw the poisonous snake.

[Oh my god! My mother actually rushed towards the poisonous snake. She will be bitten to death! What should I do? What should I do? My mother is a good person. I can't let her get hurt.] Xu Qingyan said anxiously, turning around in circles.

When Xu Qingyan saw the venomous snake getting closer and closer to the Duke's wife, she made a decision that she had not expected. She rushed towards the Duke's wife and shouted, "Mother, be careful!"

Just as Xu Qingyan pushed the Duke's wife away and was about to be bitten by the poisonous snake, a long sword shining with silver light suddenly appeared and cut the poisonous snake in two.

Xu Qingyan looked up and saw that it was Pei Jingchuan who came.

When Pei Jingchuan came in from outside to rescue people, he heard Xu Qingyan's warning. God knows how scared he was when he heard it, but fortunately he arrived in time and killed the poisonous snake.

After the maid saw that their last trick was discovered and dealt with, she lost her mind and had a knife put to her neck.

"Come here, take this assassin to the dungeon. I want to interrogate her personally to find out who sent her to assassinate the princess!" Marquis Anyang stood in front of the maid and said sternly.

As soon as Anyang Hou finished speaking, the maid fell to the ground with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth and her eyes wide open. It turned out that she had already made up her mind to die. If the truth was revealed, she would bite the poison hidden in her teeth and commit suicide.

Xu Qingyan looked at the dead maid and sighed silently in her heart: [They are the enemy's death warriors, so they will not be allowed to be interrogated alive. Although the princess escaped this time, there is no guarantee that the enemy will think of other ways next time! God, please bless the kind princess to live a long life and turn danger into safety! ]

Pei Jingchuan was shocked when he heard Xu Qingyan's thoughts. He thought: The enemy's death squad? That would make this matter complicated! He must find a way to let Anyang Hou know about this matter, and he must not let the enemy succeed. Today, this matter is really thanks to Xu Qingyan.

"Jingshu, are you okay?" At this time, the princess finally reacted and walked to the Duke's wife worriedly.

She saw clearly just now that it was her good sister, the Lady of the Duke, who discovered that something was wrong with the maid, and she and her daughter-in-law stopped the poisonous snake from attacking her. If it weren't for them, she would have been stabbed to death by the maid or bitten to death by the poisonous snake. They were her lifesavers!

"Princess, I'm fine. It was Qingyan who stopped me. Qingyan, are you hurt anywhere?" The Duke's wife immediately turned around and looked at Xu Qingyan who was standing beside her.

She didn't think so much just now, but now thinking back, if her son hadn't appeared in time, she might have lost her daughter-in-law. She is really a filial and good daughter-in-law!

The princess also looked at Xu Qingyan with a face full of satisfaction, and said softly: "Qingyan, I will definitely reward you handsomely! You, your mother, and the prince are all my saviors, and I accept this favor."

When Xu Qingyan heard the princess' words, she said modestly, "Princess, you are too polite. This is what a concubine should do."

After replying to the princess, Xu Qingyan patted her heart and whispered, "Princess, you and mother are both good people. I hate to see good people get hurt. Fortunately, everyone is fine."

At the same time, Xu Qingyue, who was standing in the crowd, had a face twisted with jealousy, and couldn't help thinking: How could it turn out like this? Her husband had told her in advance that the princess would be in danger today, and asked her to keep an eye on her so that she could save the princess at the critical moment. No matter what the result was, as long as she took action, the Marquis of Anyang would be grateful to them, and her husband would get the help of the Marquis of Anyang. But what she didn't expect was that she didn't have the opportunity to take action at all. First, the wife of the Duke of Guo somehow discovered that there was something wrong with the maid, and then Xu Qingyan went to catch the poisonous snake.

"Why didn't the poisonous snake bite that little bitch to death? Why did Pei Jingchuan show up so timely?" Xu Qingyue gritted her teeth when she saw that the princess and Marquis Anyang regarded Xu Qingyan and the others as their saviors.

This should have been her honor, but Xu Qingyan stole her things again!
