Xie Qingyao didn't show any humiliation, and said in a very good-tempered manner: "Reincarnation is a skill. Princesses are born noble. Even if they can't do anything, they will have countless servants and be pampered."
"It's really enviable."
As she spoke, she became puzzled. "Actually, I've always wanted to be a good-for-nothing, but I don't have that blessing anymore. I still have to rely on myself. I can't be compared to a princess."
waste?
Everyone was shocked.
Xie Qingyao, how dare she speak to the princess like this? It's really too crazy and too bold.
You have a very unforgiving mouth.
The ladies' faces changed drastically.
Princess Yong'an must have had a heart attack upon hearing that. Just as she was about to attack, she saw the innocence written all over Xie Qingyao's eyes.
"Your Highness, I'll take my leave now. I'm busy trying to make a living."
She actually left like this?
Princess Yong'an stared at Xie Qingyao with a cold gaze. Xie Qingyao didn't give her any face at all and retorted with confidence, but with an ignorant and fearless expression.
"Today, I have witnessed the Marquis's sharp tongue." Princess Yong'an bit her lower lip and spoke softly.
The noble ladies around him didn't dare to breathe a word and were sweating profusely.
If they had known this earlier, they would not have rushed to accompany the princess shopping today. They might have been the target of her anger later, and the princess's anger was more than they could bear.
After all, they are not like Xie Qingyao, who has the entire Anguo Marquis Mansion and the Xie family backing her up, giving her enough confidence.
Princess Yong'an sneered in her heart.
She will summon Xie Qingyao into the palace the next day. She doesn't believe that Xie Qingyao will act so arrogantly in her territory, so she will treat her well.
Xie Qingyao and her maid had not walked far when they heard a sudden scream behind them.
"ah!"
"Assassin! There's an assassin!"
"Princess Yong'an was assassinated!"
Shuangyue Mozhu immediately protected Xie Qingyao and took shelter in the house.
Xie Qingyao turned around and saw that Princess Yong'an, who had been acting sarcastic in front of her just now, had been shot by an arrow and fell in a pool of blood.
The noble ladies panicked and fled in all directions among the crowd, and the people also scattered.
The guards drew their swords in defense and looked around.
There was no movement, and the assassin did not attack again.
"Seal this place off, no one is allowed to escape."
"Check, search everywhere for suspicious people."
"Come here, send the princess back to the palace and call the imperial physician!"
The assassination of the princess took everyone by surprise.
Xie Qingyao patted Shuangyue's arm and said, "I don't know which warrior did this, but it's well done. Let's go."
Shuangyue Mozhu was alert and vigilant about his surroundings, protecting Xie Qingyao all the way back to the carriage.
But on the road, he saw Xi Feng standing in front of a carriage, seemingly waiting for someone.
Xie Qingyao looked at him suspiciously, "Why are you here? That Marquis..."
Before she could finish, a hand lifted the curtain and carried her into the carriage.
Xi Feng: “…”
Xie Qingyao laughed.
It is true.
Xie Qingyao raised her eyes and met He Zheng's face, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
"Why is the Marquis here? On official business?"
She suddenly caught sight of a longbow behind him and her heart skipped a beat.
"Hiss." Xie Qingyao gasped softly and asked tentatively, "That assassin, is it the Marquis?"
"Why?"
"It's not good for a dignified Marquis of Anguo to shoot the princess in the street, right?"
He Zheng's eyes turned slightly cold. "A quarter of an hour ago, news came from the Dark Chamber that it was Yong'an who hired the assassin to kill you at the Runan Lantern Festival."
Huh!
It turned out that Princess Yong'an wanted to kill her.
Xie Qingyao's expression suddenly became even more bizarre, and she blurted out, "So, as soon as the Marquis found out that the person who wanted to kill me was Princess Yong'an, he immediately attacked her?"
You got the news a quarter of an hour ago, then you looked at someone and killed him?
There wasn't even a buffer period. Killing the princess is such a big thing, and you don't need to think about it?
He Zheng said lightly: "I know my limits."
The last time I heard him say he was being sensible, he was about to beat Prince An half to death. This time he said he was being sensible, it was because Princess Yong'an was shot by an arrow and her life or death was unknown.
Xie Qingyao blinked twice, "My Lord, this measure is really..."
She couldn't say how to describe it.
I could only ponder and say, "It's very appropriate."
Xie Qingyao glanced at the bow behind him again. "It's not good if it's placed so blatantly in the carriage and someone finds it."
He Zheng said nonchalantly, "No one dares to search my carriage."
Unless the official is higher than him, and there are only one or two officials higher than him.
He paused and asked, "Is Yaoyao worried?"
Xie Qingyao nodded.
He Zheng heard this and stuffed the longbow into the secret compartment under the carriage. "Then there's nothing to worry about."
Xie Qingyao's eyes trembled slightly, and the next second, she pounced on He Zheng, hugged him, and bit his lips.
He Zheng was somewhat caught off guard.
It was rare for her to be so passionate. She kissed and bit him, covering his eyebrows, nose, and lips.
He Zheng used a little more force to hold her waist, and his expression was no longer indifferent and cold.
Xie Qingyao sat in He Zheng's arms, leaned close to his ear and smiled softly.
He Zheng raised his hand and stroked her head, "Is Yaoyao happy?"
"Yeah." Xie Qingyao made no effort to hide her inner joy, "I hate her. She's an eyesore."
They both knew this about her.
She then asked softly, "Will Princess Yong'an die?"
He Zheng said: "It's hard to say, it depends on her luck."
Princess Yong'an lost a lot of blood and might have died from excessive blood loss on the way back to the palace.
Xie Qingyao thought to herself, he should show mercy, why?
Not taking Princess Yong'an's life directly, perhaps it would have other uses.
Xie Qingyao thought about it, but couldn't figure it out yet, so she gave up.
"Yaoyao, don't rub around." He Zheng's low and restrained voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Xie Qingyao pouted: "I'm rewarding the Marquis."
He Zheng: “…”
He looked at her, his Adam's apple rolling, "It's not a reward..."
This is torture.
He Zheng didn't say anything else, he just held the back of her head and kissed her hard.
Later, Xie Qingyao was still thinking about what he hadn't said. She woke up from a dream in the middle of the night with sleepy eyes.
She whispered his name, "He Zheng."
"He Qiyun."
"Tell me quickly...it's not a reward, what's behind it?"
He Zheng opened his eyelids and simply covered her mouth again.
Xie Qingyao couldn't hold on any longer and fell back asleep in a daze.
The next day.
The assassination of Princess Yong'an spread like wildfire, causing a sensation throughout the capital city.
"Who on earth is so audacious as to shoot Princess Yong'an in the street?"
"I don't know how Princess Yong'an is doing now."
"Many noble ladies were present at the time. The incident happened so suddenly that they were all terrified."
"His Majesty was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. All those involved were taken in for questioning."
Xie Qingyao was also summoned for questioning.
