Shangguan Qingwan and Shangguan Bailin were no match for them and soon fell to the ground without any reaction.
Only then did Huyan Xue feel scared.
She wasn't afraid that they were dead, she was afraid that they were still alive.
They had seen her face...
Hu Yanxue subconsciously looked around and saw that the sky was getting darker and there were no birds or animals around. The evil thoughts in her heart became stronger.
If Shangguan Qingwan and Shangguan Bailin died here... Zhao Ying would go crazy, right?
Jiang Cheng saw through Hu Yanxue's thoughts, but he was not surprised at all. It was normal for a legitimate daughter of a duke to want to kill two untouchables. When he was in Tubo, he would secretly have someone killed if he saw someone he didn't like.
What's more, these two people saw their faces. If they woke up and reported to the authorities, although they couldn't do anything to them, it would still be troublesome.
He is still a hostage in Da Chu, so it is not appropriate for him to be too ostentatious.
Jiang Cheng looked at Shangguan Qingwan, feeling a little sorry. Such a beauty...
If Miss Xue wasn't here, he could still enjoy it. What a pity.
Jiang Cheng was just thinking about it when Hu Yanxue handed him a hard stone and winked at him. Jiang Cheng understood what she meant, but... Jiang Cheng smiled brightly, "Why do we need to do such a small thing ourselves? Damn it, you go!"
Gunnima still hadn't figured out the situation. Jiang Cheng frowned when he saw this and said, "Kill these two!"
understatement.
Gunnima took the order, took the stone and was about to smash it on Shangguan Qingwan's head.
At this moment, a white shadow passed by my eyes.
The three of them looked over and saw a handsome man passing by. Huyan Xue was subconsciously stunned, but then she realized that this man must have seen what they did!
Before Hu Yanxue could say anything, Jiang Cheng angrily asked, "Who are you and what did you see?"
If you see it, then this person cannot be kept!
Heng Lin stopped in his tracks when he heard the voice, glanced at the three people with his cold eyes, then looked at the two people on the ground. When he saw Shangguan Qingwan, his calm eyes showed some fluctuation.
But it's just fluctuations.
He said expressionlessly, "Who I am is none of your business. What does it matter if I saw it or not?"
Gunnima growled, "If anyone sees you, you will die!"
Heng Lin frowned slightly and shook his head, "You can't kill me..."
This made Gunnima very angry. He let out a "hey" and was about to go up and beat Henglin, but was stopped by Jiang Cheng.
"Since the Immortal Master didn't see it, then please leave?"
“@#￥@%?!!” Huyan Xue glared at Jiang Cheng angrily.
Jiang Cheng was puzzled.
Heng Lin said coldly: "She said how could you let him go..."
Heng Lin's gaze was as cold as a god looking down on the stupid human race.
"You don't have to worry about me stopping you. God won't interfere in the world."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huyanxue, Jiang Cheng, and Gunnima looked at each other, and the same thought popped up in their minds: Where did this lunatic come from?
Jiang Cheng didn't want to pay attention to him. Instead, he discussed with Hu Yanxue, "Miss Xue, in this situation, it's impossible to silence them. Why don't we leave first and let them fend for themselves? If anyone asks, we can just deny it!"
This is true for Jiang Cheng, but not for Hu Yanxue.
If Shangguan Qingwan and Shangguan Bailin returned alive, they would definitely file a complaint. Then... Huyan Xue suddenly realized, why was she afraid of them filing a complaint?
My mother and uncle will definitely favor her!
And seriously speaking, it was also their fault. Who asked them to steal the scroll that should have belonged to her?
Huyanxue thought about it and nodded to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng did not forget to say to Heng Lin, "This Immortal Master has misunderstood. We were just passing by and happened to encounter these two people on the ground... Since the Immortal Master has arrived, then we would like to trouble you to rescue them..."
After saying that, before Henglin could refuse, the three of them ran away.
Heng Lin frowned, took a long breath, brushed his clothes, and left indifferently.
Gods should not interfere in the mortal world. They shouldn't have saved that little girl last time!
After Hu Yanxue returned, she told Zhao Yao the truth.
Zhao Yao was shocked at first, but then felt relieved.
As for the consequences...what if Zhao Ying knew?
Given her background, no one would dare to do anything to her even if she was furious!
The only person we need to be wary of is Shangguan Shu!
Zhao Yao was just thinking about it when Shangguan Chaolu came to her.
As soon as he entered the door, he started crying to Zhao Yao, saying that Zhao Quan was missing.
Shangguan Chaolu was at her wit's end. She cried and cursed, "Who on earth is so blind as to dare to touch my husband? Aren't you afraid that I will tell my brother!"
Zhao Yao asked secretly, "Have you... gone to look for your big brother?"
Shangguan Chaolu felt wronged, "I went there, but he wasn't there!"
Zhao Yao had the answer in her mind after hearing this.
Zhao Quan must have been taken away by Shangguan Shu.
Her pupils darkened, and she thought to herself that she would definitely win this game!
If she wins this game, even if her background is not exposed, she will no longer be able to be a princess.
The emperor will definitely depose her!
Shangguan Shu's love for her will also turn into hate!
Zhao Yao comforted Shangguan Chaolu with a few words, and then asked Shangguan Chaolu to go back and wait while she went to find out.
Shangguan Chaolu left.
Hu Yanxue was confused and looked at Zhao Yao with doubts.
Zhao Yao stroked Hu Yanxue's head and said, "Xue'er, in two days at most, your mother will be the only princess of the Great Chu."
Although Huyan Xue didn't understand, a look of joy flashed across her eyes.
Late at night, in the dungeon.
The prison was filled with the smell of blood.
Zhao Quan was tied to a rack. Shangguan Shu sat across from him and asked coldly, "Why don't you tell me?"
Zhao Quan was barely breathing, "What... do you want me to say?"
"What did you and Zhao Yao plot?"
"Princess Huai'an did not conspire with me!"
After Zhao Quan finished speaking, a stack of banknotes was slapped on his face.
"Two months ago, you bought three prosperous shops. After that, you purchased countless gold and silver jewelry..."
Shangguan Shu casually threw a stack of account books at Zhao Quan. "These are the account books for your Prince Duan's Mansion. They're full of deficits. Where did you get so much money?"
Zhao Quan panicked and stumbled, "It was...it was subsidized to me by Chaolu..."
Shangguan Shu winked at the secret guards, who soon brought in a heavily bound woman. Zhao Quan looked up and muttered, "Mrs. Yan..."
The woman's mouth was blocked and she could not utter a word, her eyes full of fear.
Shangguan Shu curled his lips in a sarcastic tone and said slowly, "Is she also the mistress that Chaolu asked you to keep?"
Zhao Quan was speechless.
Shangguan Shu sat up straight, his brows furrowed, and his voice deepened, "Are you going to tell me or not?"
Zhao Quan was so frightened when he saw a secret guard heading towards Yan Niang that he screamed, "Don't hurt her! She's pregnant... I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
"Princess Huai'an asked me to drug Princess Chengqian at the celebration banquet for Marquis Xuanping... and told me to lie that Princess Chengqian seduced me."
As soon as Zhao Quan finished speaking, he felt the air around him piercing towards him like an icicle.
