Chapter 190 Gu Helian: I'll see who dares to touch Rong Yue
Princess Cheng was stunned by the scene before her. The blood-red color stung her face and made her look dazed.
Toffee...
Dead?
"ah--"
Before Princess Cheng could react, she heard a sharp cry in her ear: "The Concubine Dowager... someone come, someone come quickly, something happened to the Concubine Dowager, Nanny Jiang killed the Concubine Dowager!!!"
"you…"
Princess Cheng turned her head abruptly and was about to shout angrily, but she saw the humble servant suddenly rushing towards her with a sharp weapon in hand.
"Princess, be careful!"
Ayane was prepared and quickly grabbed Princess Cheng and retreated, sending her to the front of the secret guard sent by the Gu family. Then she turned around and blocked the person who was attacking her. While fighting with him, she shouted at the secret guard of the Gu family.
"Protect the princess!"
The "maid" collided with Ayane with a bang, and she landed on the ground and dodged nimbly before rushing forward again, with a fierce look in her eyes, and went straight towards Princess Cheng.
The secret guard of the Gu family raised his foot and kicked, and the embroidered cushion beside him flew up and hit the man hard, knocking him back and hitting the door frame hard.
"court death!"
The Gu family's secret guard shouted coldly, and came forward like a shadow, grabbed the man who was trying to struggle to get up, and threw him heavily back against the door.
When the door collapsed outwards with a loud crash, the two of them fell to the ground at the same time. The Gu family's secret guard grabbed the dagger she had thrust out and placed it across the man's neck with his backhand.
"With this little ability, you still want to kill people?"
She hit the man's stomach hard with her knee, and he immediately vomited blood. His face turned pale, but he suddenly grinned.
Ayane, who had followed, felt something was wrong and shouted hurriedly: "Be careful..."
Before he could finish his words, the man from Prince Cheng's Mansion grabbed the hands of the Gu family's secret guard and screamed miserably.
"Princess, spare my life!!"
She suddenly straightened her body and stretched her neck forward, grabbed the dagger on her neck and stabbed it into her neck with force. As blood splattered everywhere, the secret guard of the Gu family was hit head on with blood all over his face. He looked at the dagger that was stabbed into the man's neck with a dazed expression.
"not good!"
Ayane couldn't help but curse, then grabbed Princess Cheng and shouted at the man from the Gu family, "Go!"
The secret guard of the Gu family was also awakened. Seeing the "servant" of Prince Cheng's mansion who was already dead under him, he came to his senses, quickly threw away the dagger in his hand, stood up and wanted to protect Princess Cheng as he walked out. However, at this moment, the previously closed courtyard door was suddenly knocked open by someone.
In the wind and rain, Prince Cheng and his son, along with the palace guards and servants, stood in front of the crane-patterned full-moon gate through the rain, facing the blood-covered Princess Cheng and her two servants with shocked faces.
"Mother..."
Xie Yin looked at the blood-soaked figure beside Princess Cheng. He looked past the three people and saw the collapsed door and the lifeless servant lying on the ground. His face paled. "You?"
Prince Cheng also exclaimed in surprise: "Rong Yue, what are you doing?"
The people from Prince Cheng's mansion surrounded the few people. Prince Cheng panicked and asked people to come forward to check. After seeing that the person lying in front of the door was dead, he hurriedly crossed the messy house and went into the house. When he came out after a while, his face was full of fear.
"Prince, the Concubine Dowager, the Concubine Dowager is dead..."
Prince Cheng staggered and nearly fell, then ran quickly towards the house. Xie Yin quickly followed him. When he saw the old concubine in the house, dead in a miserable state with blood all over her head and face, he froze in place. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Princess Cheng with disbelief in his eyes.
The servants from Prince Cheng's Mansion who followed behind also widened their eyes.
The princess actually killed the old concubine?!
"Rong Yue!!" Prince Cheng turned his head with red eyes, looked at Rong Yue who was surrounded in front of the house and shouted angrily: "Why did you bring people to kill my mother?!"
Xie Yin also trembled and said, "Mother, you are crazy. You...you actually killed Grandmother?!"
“It’s not me!”
Princess Cheng's palms were cold. Even though she knew Xie Tianyu would not let her go tonight and that he would set a trap to harm her, she never imagined that he would actually use the old concubine's life to plot against her.
She didn't care about Xie Tianyu, but Xie Yin's terrified look made it difficult for her to remain calm.
"Ayin, it was your father who harmed me. When I came here, the Concubine Dowager was already dead..."
"What are you talking about?" Xie Yin was shocked. "My father was with me before, and he even advised me not to get angry with you. It was only when the servants told me that my grandmother had woken up that he called me over."
They came here together and met the old housekeeper and others on the way. Before they got close, they heard screams from inside and someone shouting "Princess, spare my life". They then hurriedly broke open the gate and saw a person covered in blood following Princess Cheng.
The old butler stood by and asked in a trembling voice, "Why did the princess want to wrongly harm the prince?"
"Someone from the Concubine's courtyard came to me earlier and said they heard Nanny Jiang and the Concubine arguing inside. The Prince was not in the courtyard, so I hurried over with someone and met the Prince outside."
"I know you blame the prince for deceiving you earlier, and you're also at odds with the Dowager Consort, but she's your mother-in-law, the prince's mother. How could you possibly kill her?"
In full view of the public, Prince Cheng and his son came from outside, but Princess Cheng came out of the Dowager's room with people covered in blood.
The body of the man who was killed in front of the door was still warm, the old concubine in the room died with her eyes open, and there was also Nanny Jiang lying inside who no one knew. Anyone would think that she was the one who killed the old concubine.
Prince Cheng cried out in tears, "I believe I have treated you well. Although I have deceived you, I have never hurt you. I have always wanted to make peace with you. Even when you returned home and refused to be close to me, I tolerated and indulged you in every way. But why did you kill my mother?"
"Thank! Tian! Yu!!"
Princess Cheng was so angry that she was shaking all over. She had never expected him to be so shameless. She turned her head to look at Xie Yin and said, "It was your father who harmed me tonight. He was also the one who killed the Concubine Dowager and put the blame on me. I have never hurt the Concubine Dowager. He was the one who conspired with Nanny Jiang..."
Xie Yin found Princess Cheng's words absurd. "So many people saw it with their own eyes, and you're still trying to make excuses? Father wouldn't harm Grandmother. On the contrary, you've always disliked Grandmother."
Princess Cheng staggered and looked at Xie Yin in disbelief.
This is her son.
It was the son she had loved for seventeen years!
Princess Cheng felt that she had lived a joke for so many years, her face was pale and she was about to collapse. Prince Cheng did not give them a chance to say more, fearing that the night would be long and full of dreams, so he pretended to be sad and angry and screamed.
"Capture the princess, and anyone around her who dared to murder the princess, capture them all!"
The people gathered around and came forward, swords drawn.
clang——
Sparks flew everywhere, and Ayane flicked her wrist and a soft whip flew out of the air, instantly knocking away the attacking long sword. The secret guards of the Gu family also hurriedly protected Princess Cheng, and slipped out short blades from their sleeves to fight with the servants of Prince Cheng's mansion who were rushing over.
The two men were both good at fighting. They were brave and fierce in their attacks. Princess Cheng was protected behind them. Although there were only two of them, they made it difficult for the people in Prince Cheng's mansion to get close to them.
In the heavy rain, the smell of blood grew heavier. Seeing that he couldn't take them down for a long time, King Cheng felt a chill on his face.
What happens tonight must not be delayed, and they must not be given a chance to speak.
He glanced behind him and saw several people holding crossbows and pointing them at the crowd. The cold light was shining on the crossbows, and the crossbow arrows cut through the void.
"careful!!"
Ayane's face changed, and she spun around and knocked Princess Cheng to the ground.
Just when those people in the dark were about to pull the trigger of the crossbow for the second time, they suddenly heard a sound of breaking air. One of them suddenly screamed, and the hand that was originally holding the crossbow was broken at the wrist and fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Privately hoarding military crossbows, is Prince Cheng's Mansion planning a rebellion?"
Several dark shadows emerged from all directions, like ghosts appearing silently in the yard in the dark night.
Xiao Yan stood on the wall holding an umbrella, with Song Tangning in his arms, who was clinging to his waist tightly because of her fear of heights. On the other side, the gate in front of the courtyard, which was already slanted, was slammed open by someone.
Gu Helian kicked away the broken wood blocking the door, strode in, and said coldly, "Let's see who dares to touch Rong Yue!"
