Chapter 392 Extra: The Princess's Test
Jiang Jinyue pushed Xie Lin away and ran straight towards Jun Qingyan in front of him.
Jun Qingyan was using her palm wind to hit the pear tree in the courtyard. Jiang Jinyue took advantage of the fact that she hadn't noticed him approaching and went around behind her as quickly as possible.
Jun Qingyan seemed to notice something and turned back quickly.
Almost at the same time, Jiang Jinyue turned on the switch of the bracelet on his right hand and blew out the powder hidden in the bracelet towards Jun Qingyan.
Jun Qingyan's movements froze, as if he was feeling dizzy.
Jiang Jinyue quickly reached into her sleeve to take out the silver needle, ready to stab Jun Qingyan unconscious, but Jun Qingyan suddenly raised his right hand and grabbed her neck!
Not far away, Xie Lin saw this scene and tightened his grip on his sword.
The princess has gone mad. He tried to stop the county lady just now because he was afraid that the county lady would die at the hands of the princess. But the county lady did not appreciate it at all and insisted on taking the risk, which led to the current situation.
The most terrifying people are those who are possessed by evil spirits. If he takes action now, he may not be able to save the county lady, and he may also suffer.
It is better to report this matter to King Ning.
"Jun Qingyan, you damned bastard! You said you could recognize me even if I turned into ash! How come you can't recognize me now!"
Jiang Jinyue used both hands to hold Jun Qingyan's knuckles tightly and yelled at her, "I told you not to be impatient when practicing, but you refused to listen! If you really strangle me to death, you will regret it!"
There was a tremor in Jiang Jinyue's voice.
The crisis was imminent, so she would naturally be afraid, but she and Jun Qingyan had been friends for more than ten years, and they had been each other's best playmates almost since they were old enough to understand. She couldn't bear to watch Jun Qingyan go astray and become disabled.
She had no time to think about it just now. She just hoped that Jun Qingyan could calm down. As long as she could subdue Jun Qingyan, they would all be safe.
"Yanyan, I'm Xiaoyue, your best friend..."
Jiang Jinyue was still trying to wake up Jun Qingyan.
And the next moment, she felt the force pinching her relax a little.
Jiang Jinyue was overjoyed. Noticing Jun Qingyan's expression became confused, she guessed that the incense she had just sprinkled must have taken effect.
While Jun Qingyan was in a trance, she quickly took out the silver needle she carried with her and pierced Jun Qingyan's wrist.
Jun Qingyan's wrist felt numb and she suddenly lost strength. Jiang Jinyue held her wrist tightly, then quickly moved behind her and gave her an injection in the neck.
Jun Qingyan slowly closed her eyelids and her whole body softened.
Jiang Jinyue hurriedly helped her sit down slowly, then raised his head and glared at Xie Lin who was standing in front of him.
Useless thing! If this guy was willing to help, she would have subdued Yan Yan long ago, without having to be strangled.
Damn it, she was so scared when her neck was strangled that she almost lost her soul.
Xie Lin couldn’t believe that Jiang Jinyue could subdue the crazy Jun Qingyan alone.
Under Jiang Jinyue's cold gaze, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Is the county lady injured?"
"Thanks to you, I wasn't hurt, just a little frightened."
Jiang Jinyue spoke with a cold tone, "When you rescued the princess in the flower field, you said that you would never let the princess get hurt. As long as it was for the princess, you would go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Have you forgotten what you said last month?"
"Let me think about it. When you encountered the snake in the flower field, you dared to stand up because you knew you would not die, right? With me, the descendant of a miracle doctor, snake venom is nothing. So you could protect the princess from disaster without hesitation to win her favor."
"And you didn't dare to take action today because there was real danger today. The princess was possessed by a demon and didn't recognize her relatives. You were worried that you would get hurt if you made a mistake. Even though I told you that we could subdue her together, you still didn't dare to go."
"You can be afraid, you can retreat, but why did you lie to the princess? You can't even go through fire and water, or risk your life to protect her. Yet you still promised her that you are capable, right? It's a joke!"
Faced with Jiang Jinyue's scolding, Xie Lin had no way to refute and felt extremely embarrassed at this moment.
Should he tell the county lady that it was not his intention to get close to the princess, but it was a mission given by the King?
"Why, you have nothing to say, right? You dare to deceive the princess, I will never forgive you!"
Jiang Jinyue was wondering how many times to punish him with the board, but she saw the guard who was supposed to be lying in front of her moved his body, and then stood up under her surprised gaze.
Not only the guard in front of her, she also saw from the corner of her eye that the two palace maids lying on her right also climbed up from the ground.
Jiang Jinyue opened his eyes wide——
Are these people all right?!
When she saw them lying on the ground just now, she thought they were beaten to death by the possessed Jun Qingyan.
"Please don't worry, Princess. The princess is not possessed."
The guard came up to her and said respectfully, "Please wake the princess up, she will explain it to you."
Jiang Jinyue came back to his senses from the shock and immediately had some guesses in his mind.
Seeing Jun Qingyan going crazy just now, she was so panicked and her whole emotions were tense that she couldn't find the flaw. But now thinking about it, it seems that Jun Qingyan didn't use much force when pinching her.
Jun Qingyan just made a move to pinch her, but she was so scared that she tried to pull Jun Qingyan's hands away with both hands and shouted at her.
If Jun Qingyan really used all her strength, even if she didn't strangle her to death, she would probably have difficulty breathing, so how could she speak so smoothly?
Thinking of this, Jiang Jinyue hurriedly took out the antidote for the knockout needle from his body and gave it to Jun Qingyan.
A few feet away, Xie Lin’s head was buzzing.
The princess was not possessed, and the guards and palace maids were not injured...
When Jun Qingyan woke up slowly, she met Jiang Jinyue's gaze.
She raised the corners of her lips towards Jiang Jinyue and reached out to pinch her cheek, "I'm fine, Xiaoyue."
Jiang Jinyue gritted his teeth and pinched her arm, "Why are you scaring me for no reason?"
"Hiss...be gentle. I didn't mean to hide it from you. You can only act well if you don't know. If I tell you in advance, I'm afraid you'll laugh out loud in the middle of the performance, and that would be boring."
Jun Qingyan sat up, took Jiang Jinyue's hand and said, "This is my fault. I will definitely compensate you later. Anyway, I scared you and you stabbed me twice. Thinking about this, can you calm down now?"
"Alright, alright, I can't really argue with you." Jiang Jinyue rolled his eyes at Jun Qingyan, "It's better to pretend than to really do it... By the way, what happened to your power just now? It's obviously much stronger than usual."
The question Jiang Jinyue was asking at the moment was exactly what Xie Lin was wondering about.
Although the guards and palace servants lying on the ground pretending to be corpses could have a confusing effect to a certain extent, the bigger reason why they were deceived by Jun Qingyan was the power that Jun Qingyan had just displayed.
They knew the level of her martial arts skills. Logically, she should be able to break the table into pieces with just one palm, but she couldn't do it at the moment. It would take at least another one or two years.
"Those things I destroyed were caused by General Zheng in advance. You can only see the cracks if you look closely. I only needed to destroy them a second time before you got close to me. In your eyes, wouldn't it be me who destroyed them? But in fact, I only used 50% of my strength."
"How cunning, but you have really tested this liar with this play."
Jiang Jinyue said, glancing at Xie Lin, "This worthless guy said so many nice things to you before, but today he is exposed. As expected, Ah Gan guessed correctly before, he just wants to get close to you, he is not sincere at all! He dared to deceive your feelings, how do you plan to deal with him?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Lin quickly knelt down and said, "Princess, this is not what you think!"
"You're still trying to quibble!" Jiang Jinyue shouted angrily, "Is it a ghost who said he would go through fire and water for the princess? If you don't have the courage, just admit it directly. Why are you pretending to be a hero?"
"I wouldn't say I cheated on him. I only treated him as a playmate and never even accepted any gifts he gave me."
Jun Qingyan raised her eyes to look at Xie Lin and said slowly, "It is human nature to pursue wealth and fame, but if you have bad intentions and tell lies, don't blame others for looking down on you."
Xie Lin just felt that he had no words to express his pain.
"In fact, if you just want to get close to me, it's not a serious crime, but you obviously have helpers. When we first met, those people who beat you and the snake in the flower field were arranged by someone for you, right? That person sent you to me and tried his best to please me. What exactly did he want to do?"
Jun Qingyan said this, staring at Xie Lin with a colder look, "Are you coming for me, or for the Queen Mother? I'm giving you a chance to be honest now. If you don't tell the truth, I'll let the Queen Mother's poison masters treat you well and let you experience a taste of life worse than death."
