Chapter 96: The Rise of Swords



In the post station

Wei Zixin and others waited restlessly on the side, pacing back and forth.

Yuan Xian couldn't help but smile at Qingqing's impatient face at this moment, "Miss Qingqing, why do you look so upset and irritable, as if you are in a hurry to reincarnate."

However, this joke aroused Qingqing's anger.

In Qingqing's heart, the man she had cursed countless times already actually came to be cursed. How could Qingqing miss this opportunity? If it weren't for him, her master, how could he be pursued by the prince?

"General Yuan, I am not as leisurely as you are. The princess is missing, but I am not as heartless as you!"

Yuan Xian, who was slapped back by a word, pursed his lips with a bit of discomfort. However, in his opinion, Qingqing's loyalty to her master was adorable.

At this moment, I really didn't consider the timing. Qingqing was so angry, maybe she was blaming me for not protecting the princess?

"Miss Qingqing, I am so rude." Yuan Xian lowered his head quickly. "It's all my fault. I was careless for a moment. I clearly discovered the secret guards, but I didn't raise my vigilance. As a result, I was poisoned by the incense and the princess disappeared without a trace. Don't worry, I will do my best to find the princess!"

Yuan Xian's bold words earned him a glare from Qingqing.

At this moment, Qingqing kept cursing in her heart, who asked you, a blind guy, to try your best. If it weren't for you, how could our princess's identity be exposed? I hope the princess will never be found.

Looking at Qingqing's expression, Yuan Xian suddenly realized something. "Don't worry, I have already rushed the news about the assassin back to Luozha Kingdom. I believe the emperor's news will come soon!"

"You!" Qingqing was so angry that she pointed her finger at Yuan Xian and gasped for breath.

Wei Zixin couldn't help rubbing his brows at this moment. If the news reached the emperor's ears, there was no telling what kind of complications would arise. If the queen knew the news, she would definitely go crazy.

At this moment, Ning Shuang also ran in, "Sister Qingqing...Sister Qingqing...The princess is back!"

Ningshuang was panting as she ran all the way.

"What!" Four voices rang out at the same time, but except for Yuan Xian who was excited, the other three, whether Qingqing or Chen Xianzhi, could not hide their disappointment.

"Great, let's go pick up the princess!" Yuan Xian said happily and took the lead.

"Doctor Chen, what should we do?" Qingqing frowned and asked in a low voice.

"Just follow what the princess said before and hold on. Now that the princess is back, we can only wait and see how she handles everything. Don't panic!" Chen the Prophet whispered and hurriedly followed.

Qingqing and Wei Zixin looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who followed Situ Xunxiao back to the hall of the inn, now had a sullen face and an unwilling expression, and ignored Situ Xunxiao.

The two of them sat in the main seats, one on the left and one on the right, and silence was golden.

until……

"Princess..." Qingqing's voice came from far away, and the person was shouting before she arrived.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting listened to the vigorous call and knew that Qingqing was safe. He finally felt relieved from the worry he had felt before.

Glancing at Situ Xunxiao, Zongzheng Xiaoting lowered his eyes and thought.

From the looks of it, Qingqing and the others must have bitten to death as they said before because they were being hunted down. And whether Situ Xunxiao believed it or not, at least, judging from his behavior, he was not sure that they had planned it.

It seems that I still have a chance to turn the tables.

"Qingqing!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting saw Qingqing trotting in and stood up happily.

"Qingqing... Qingqing pays her respects to the princess!" Qingqing was so excited that she couldn't even speak fluently.

At this moment, Wei Zixin and others who came in one after another also saluted Zong Zheng Xiaoting.

The people kneeling on the ground all had different thoughts.

"Everyone, get up!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting exempted them from the formalities and asked with concern, "Are you all okay? Among the soldiers and palace ladies who followed the army, is there anyone who survived?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Situ Xunxiao's body stiffen.

Survived? Could it be that the fire, the drug and the antidote had nothing to do with her?

"To reply to the princess, we were not destined to die. Some of the soldiers outside the fire did not inhale too much smoke and woke up, saving everyone." Yuan Xian spoke as a representative and reported the situation that night to Zong Zheng Xiaoting one by one.

After listening to Yuan Xian's report, Zong Zheng Xiaoting finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately... If everyone had to leave their hometown and die in a foreign land because of me, I would definitely feel bad. It seems that I and you are blessed by God."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked like he was sighing a lot, and his suspicion of Situ Xunxiao was gradually easing.

"By the way, General Yuan, have you investigated who wants to harm this princess?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked concerned, and then gritted his teeth and said, "I will never let such a ruthless person go. Now that I am back, I will be more cautious about the person who failed in the assassination. It's hard to guard against him!"

Yuan Xian immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "I am guilty, but I have not yet found out who did it."

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly, princess, don't worry!" Situ Xunxiao, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke slowly. However, what he would say was naturally Zong Zheng Xiaoting's premeditated sarcasm.

"Oh, I dare not trouble the prince. Moreover, this matter concerns the lives of me and a group of soldiers. If I leave it to the prince to investigate, I am afraid that I will be even more uneasy. If you want to investigate, it is your own business. I have my own opinions. It is not necessary for the prince to take charge of this matter alone."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's merciless words, with hints of sarcasm, clearly told Situ Xunxiao, "This princess does not believe you!"

Such reckless and merciless behavior made Situ Xunxiao narrow his eyes, and a dangerous look flashed in his eyes, but...

With a hateful glare and raised chin, Zong Zheng Xiaoting responded to Situ Xunxiao with a provocative look on his face.

The tense atmosphere in the hall became even more solemn after the two men fell silent.

The glances were equally intense, and the powerful auras of each other collided fiercely in the silence. Gradually, there were no more words or quarrels, but everyone present felt like running away.

The Nighthawk standing by was also secretly surprised.

It is incredible and unprecedented that the second princess had such courage to look the prince in the eyes and face his wrath.

How many people, even the current emperor, would not dare to confront the prince when he is angry, but the second princess is not afraid at all, and may not even lose to the prince in terms of momentum!

Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, the envoy of Luozha Kingdom came hurriedly.
