Chapter 283 Send her an arrow and feel relieved
"It seems that he is more sensible than before." Si Lianhuan played with the wooden sculpture in his hand, and said jokingly, "Did he say anything else?"
Sure enough, no matter how proud a man is, he has to learn to bow his head when he falls.
If someone is arrogant and does not know how to judge the situation, he should be beaten and scolded a few times to wear down his edge.
"Prince Yi also said that he hopes to meet the princess."
"He was transferred because he made a mistake. I haven't seen him for several days, so I'm naturally still angry. If I go to see him right away just because he gave me a gift, wouldn't that be giving him too much face?"
Si Lianhuan said slowly, "I won't see him today. I have to go to Qianbao Pavilion's auction. I'll go see him another day."
"yes."
In the afternoon, Si Lianhuan went out with her personal maid and secret guards.
"The princess seems to be in a good mood. Is it because of the gift from Prince Yi?"
Listening to the maid's question, Si Lianhuan lowered her eyes and thought seriously for a moment, then replied, "Yes, and no."
"What do you mean, Princess?"
"He has a special status now, so I naturally hope that he won't run around and cause me trouble. I would be happy to see him learn to be quiet and make me happy, but..."
Si Lianhuan paused, then sighed softly, "To be honest, there are some questions that I can't figure out myself. I obviously don't like him disobeying me, but when I really see him bending over backwards to survive, I can't help but feel a little sad. He shouldn't be like this."
"He is now very different from the outstanding Prince Yi in my memory. I wish I could see him the same as he was two years ago. Unfortunately, he can never return to his glory days. He doesn't have an identity that matches mine. He can even be said to be unworthy of being on the stage."
"The princess is right," the maid replied, "In the past, he was indeed a good match for the princess, but now he and the princess have no future. The princess will definitely choose an outstanding husband in the future, and Prince Yi... can only be a guest in the princess's mansion at best."
"Yes, there is no future between him and me. Even though I know I shouldn't have feelings for him, I still can't bear to see him lose his life. If possible, I hope he can hide his identity and live in Xiling Country from now on. If he wants to travel or do some small business, I can help him. I'm just afraid that he won't be willing to do so and still misses his former honor."
Not to mention the honor in the past, he could not pursue a career in officialdom even in Xiling Kingdom. Otherwise, once Tianqi Kingdom knew that Xiling Kingdom had accepted their traitor as an official in the court, it would be a ridiculous joke.
She couldn't give him too much support, but she didn't want to abandon him just like that, so she decided to take it one step at a time.
I hope he can be a sensible person.
As the carriage was moving, Si Lianhuan heard a burst of firecrackers not far ahead.
She didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the sound of firecrackers kept going on and getting closer and closer.
In order to prevent the horses from getting frightened, the attendants driving the carriage had to rein in their horses temporarily.
I don't know who lit so many firecrackers at the intersection ahead. Even if it was a new store opening, they shouldn't be set off for so long, and they occupy such a large section of the intersection, which greatly obstructs traffic flow.
"Master, the firecrackers in front haven't finished yet, I'm afraid we have to wait..."
Before the guard finished speaking, several sharp sounds of breaking through the air were heard coming from the right.
His eyes immediately became stern, and he and the guards beside him drew their swords at their waists and knocked down the flying arrows.
The master and servant in the carriage noticed something unusual at the first moment. The maid opened the curtain of the window and saw seven masked men holding scimitars rushing forward. They either came out from the alley or jumped down from the eaves of the houses on the street.
Passersby had already fled in fear.
"No wonder they set off firecrackers at the intersection, they were trying to stop our vehicles."
The maid frowned and quickly got out of the carriage to assist the guards outside.
They dared to assassinate the emperor in the street in broad daylight. These people are so arrogant!
The assassins were all wearing coarse cloth clothes like civilians and had ambushed on both sides of the street in advance. In addition to the seven people who rushed out from the left, there were also eight people on the right.
They moved very quickly and soon surrounded Si Lianhuan's carriage.
A few feet away from everyone, a blue flare shot up into the sky.
“Bang!”
Song Yunchu had just returned home from the palace. Not long after he sat down in the room, he heard Bai Zhu coming to report in a hurry.
"Your Highness, the guards assigned to watch over the posthouse have released a signal flare not far away. The Princess of Xiling must be in trouble."
Song Yunchu stood up immediately and said, "Bring your people with me immediately! The princess must not be in any danger."
When Song Yunchu and his men arrived at the intersection where Si Lianhuan was assassinated, there were already corpses lying on the ground next to the carriage.
The people around Si Lianhuan were very good at fighting. Three of them took care of nearly half of the assassins. All three of them had injuries of varying degrees, but Si Lianhuan, who was protected by them, was not injured at this moment.
But her maid was obviously unable to hold on. She swayed and half-knelt on the ground. If it weren't for the support of the sword in her hand, she would probably have fallen face first.
"Huaying!" Si Lianhuan squatted down to support her, her face full of worry.
Two more sounds of breaking through the air came to my ears.
Si Lianhuan's heart sank. Without time to think, he quickly lay down with his maid!
Her speed was fast enough, but the hidden arrow still cut her arm, causing her to groan.
The maid was shocked, but she had no time to apologize because the person hiding in the dark continued to shoot arrows at her.
Si Lianhuan swung her sword to deflect the arrow, and saw out of the corner of her eye that another person was coming to attack her. She gritted her teeth and was about to meet the attack, but she saw a folding fan flying from the right, which cut the assassin's throat with great force and then nailed him to the carriage board behind her!
The fan looked familiar to her, so she subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction where the fan came from.
Song Yunchu was rushing over with his guards to eliminate the remaining assassins.
Si Lianhuan saw that she was still wearing her official uniform, and it was obvious that she had just returned from the palace not long ago and had not even had time to change her clothes.
She had heard that this man had excellent kung fu skills, and today she finally got to see it for herself.
This man had no weapon in his hand, but it did not affect his performance at all. His movements were so fast that they formed an afterimage, making it impossible for her to even see his movements clearly.
But in just a few moments, all the assassins fell, half of them were killed by Song Yunchu, and all of them were left alive.
Although she didn't have a good impression of Song Yunchu, at this moment, she couldn't help but admire this man's kung fu.
As fast as the wind and as unstoppable as a broken bamboo.
No wonder Zhao Jingheng told her that day - His Royal Highness Prince Ning is the real master, you and I together are not as good as him in a few hits.
Song Yunchu ordered the guards to capture the man alive, and then turned to ask Si Lianhua, "Is the princess okay?"
Si Lianhua covered her injured arm and replied, "It's just a flesh wound, not serious..."
It's not like she had never been injured while training in martial arts before. Even if it hurt, she had to endure it and not say a word in front of others, so that others would think she was brave and strong.
At this time, she was also trying to endure the pain, but in addition to the pain, she felt a little dizzy and her feet were unstable.
When Song Yunchu saw her lips were purple, he immediately turned around and ordered the guards, "The arrow is poisonous, quickly look for any medicine bottles on the assassin!"
Everyone quickly searched the assassin's body but found nothing.
"Your Highness, this hidden arrow was shot from the alley. The antidote may only be possessed by the assassin hiding in the dark. Our people have already gone after him."
"I can't wait for them to come back, let's go to Ruihetang!"
At Song Yunchu's command, Si Lianhuan and the injured followers were helped onto the carriage.
At the same time, in the dark alley -
Hu Siniang held a crossbow in her hand and looked down at the body of the assassin lying beside her, a cold curve appearing at the corner of her lips.
The princess of Xiling Kingdom really needs a lesson. After sending her an arrow, I feel much better.
This time, not only will she have to suffer a little, but she will also have to remember the favor of His Highness.
