Chapter 59: Heartbroken, is this how you treat your savior?
When Lu Li, Mo Zhan and others saw Chen Yaoxing's exclusive signal, their faces changed drastically and they all rushed towards the source of the signal.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other party immediately made a gesture and retreated together.
Chen Yaoxing's face was ice-cold, his eyes fell on the retreating men in black, he swung the soft sword in his hand, and stabbed one of the men in black in the back quickly, accurately and fiercely, killing him on the spot.
The scene was a mess.
Seeing that the men in black had left, the guards and secret guards of the princess's mansion all knelt on the ground.
"I, your humble servant, have failed to protect the princess properly. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
"Everyone get up first, and we'll talk about it after we get back home."
After this incident, Xiao Jinmian was greatly frightened. Now she was exhausted both physically and mentally. She didn't want to say a word, let alone the energy to pursue responsibility.
And Mo Qing sent out another signal.
Crisis averted!
Lu Li and others who had just set out to participate in the support had to stop and cancel the action.
Tsk, could it be that the Second Young Master is idle and bored today, so he is making fun of them?
"Chen Yaoxing, thank you for what I said just now."
Xiao Jinmian raised her head and looked at the young man in front of her seriously.
The young man's clothes are dyed cinnabar, and his handsome figure and heroic appearance make him intoxicated by life.
"Hey, when did the princess become so polite?"
Chen Yaoxing drooped his eyelids slightly and smiled faintly. When his eyes fell on the dark spot on her face, his expression instantly sank.
Xiao Jinmian rarely argued with him. She sighed and looked at the devastation in front of her. Headache and fear swept over her again.
Suddenly, fingers touched her cheek, and it was like an electric current. Xiao Jinmian trembled all over and subconsciously stepped back, but her feet went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
Someone grabbed my wrist in time.
After helping her to stand steadily, the young man quickly let go of her hand and said without any emotion, "Princess, isn't it painful? Your face is hurt."
"hiss……"
Xiao Jinmian's nerves had been extremely tense. When he didn't say anything, she didn't notice anything, but as soon as he said it, she immediately felt a burning pain on her face.
She remembered that the wound on her face was probably caused by the first wave of arrows that brushed past her face.
Xiao Jinmian took a deep breath and subconsciously reached out to touch the wound.
“Don’t touch!”
He spoke to stop her. Xiao Jinmian raised her head and looked at him with puzzled eyes.
"Don't touch the burn, it will leave a scar. When you return home, find a doctor to treat it and apply some ointment."
When she heard that touching it would leave a scar, the girl, who loved beauty so much, quickly put her hand down.
But it really hurt. She tried hard to hold it back, but she couldn't. A thin layer of mist appeared in her eyes, and she looked so pitiful.
Chen Yaoxing couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.
"I can help the princess relieve the pain, but the princess cannot blame me."
"Really? Tell me quickly, how do you stop the pain?"
"Then you have to promise first that you won't blame me."
"Okay, okay, just tell me, I won't blame you, okay?"
"Okay~"
Chen Yaoxing smiled, then quickly made a move and tapped Xiao Jinmian on the neck. Xiao Jinmian instantly felt his face become stiff and numb, and it was very difficult for him to speak.
"You, you, what did you do to me?"
She murmured, looking at him in horror.
"It's nothing, I just temporarily blocked the nerves in the princess's face. How's it going? Does your cheek hurt anymore?"
Xiao Jinmian nodded with difficulty.
It really didn't hurt anymore. Her whole head had become very numb. It would be a miracle if she could still feel pain.
But where did this guy learn these weird tricks?
It’s really useful.
The princess's carriage was completely broken and could no longer be used.
Chen Yaoxing rode a horse to send the princess back to the mansion, while the guards stayed behind to clean up the stall and investigate clues from the body that was pierced by Chen Yaoxing to see if they could find some clues to find out the other party's identity.
As the white horse with a golden saddle paraded through the city, Xiao Jinmian was afraid that her identity would be recognized and the fact that she rode with a man would be spread, which would ruin her reputation. So she took off all the jewelry on her head and took out a handkerchief to cover her face tightly.
This method was really good. No one recognized her until she arrived at the princess's mansion.
Outside the princess's mansion.
Chen Yaoxing dismounted from his horse in a graceful and neat manner.
"Princess, we're here."
After he finished speaking, he stretched out a hand towards Xiao Jinmian, and it was obvious that he wanted to carry her down.
Looking at that exceptionally beautiful hand, Xiao Jinmian felt guilty for no reason. She turned her head away and silently dismounted from the other side.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I can do it myself."
Chen Yaoxing's expression darkened slightly and he withdrew his hand.
"Alright, I'm going to the mansion now. Second Young Master, please go back as well. I'll go to your house to thank you for saving me."
Chen Yaoxing: Haha!
"The princess's skill in crossing a river and destroying a bridge is as adept as ever."
Xiao Jinmian felt guilty and blushed, and was unusually embarrassed.
"I already said I'd come to thank you someday, so why are you just destroying your bridges?"
"I'm the princess's savior. Is this how the princess treats her savior? She didn't even give me a sip of tea and ordered me to leave. Isn't this just destroying the bridge after crossing it?"
"I'm just too tired and worried that I won't be able to serve you well enough."
"No problem, I don't need any greeting from the princess."
After saying this, Chen Yaoxing tied the horse to a tree by the roadside and walked towards the princess's mansion.
Xiao Jinmian: "..."
She didn't even let him in, so how could he enter the house so openly?
As for Chen Yaoxing, he didn't need her permission at all. He just wanted to see his future home.
Ningguo Mansion.
After seeing Xiao Jinmian off, Shen Qingyi went to her mother's yard.
[Hey, the third sister is here, so is the princess leaving? ]
[I just counted on my fingers for the princess. On her way back, she'll encounter a minor bloody disaster. She might be ambushed or have some unexpected incident. However, a savior will appear, so the problem won't be serious.]
[What's strange is that during this period of time in the plot, the princess was pampered and everything went smoothly, without encountering any bloody disasters. I don't know why the plot collapsed again.]
[I always feel like the plot has become increasingly bizarre since I traveled through time, with a touch of weirdness emanating from every corner.]
What? The princess encountered an accident?
Shen Qingyi's expression changed and she clenched her fists silently. Although she heard her younger sister say that the princess wouldn't be in any serious trouble, she still couldn't feel at ease without seeing it with her own eyes.
[Hey, why did Third Sister's expression suddenly become so strange? It's as if something terrible has happened, as if the sky has fallen.]
[That's not right. My third sister was fine when she first came in. Why did her mood suddenly change?]
[Third sister, come and tell me, what happened? ]
Shen Wan tilted her head slightly and looked at Shen Qingyi with great curiosity.
Shen Qingyi quickly came back to her senses, adjusted her expression, and sat down next to the little girl. She told her some interesting things in the capital, but her mind was full of the bloody disaster that Xiao Jinmian had encountered.
