Chapter 166 Princess Assassinated

After Princess Wenshu told Nianxi that she was going to read a storybook to the girls, Nianxi couldn't help but jump.

However, Xiao Nanxi was still confident, "These people don't know many words, and they definitely haven't understood the power of love, hate, and vengeance in the novels. Today, I will let them see what it means to be a foolish man and a resentful woman, and to be in love with a sea of ​​sin!"

Moreover, Nianxi also has a mission——

"When the time comes, you will just read the narration. I have prepared the book for you."

Nian Xi held the book in her hand and looked down at the explicit words. Her throat suddenly became dry.

The guard's clothes were half-removed, revealing his muscular waist and abdomen, with his tendons bulging out. He smiled evilly and said in a hoarse voice, "Woman, are you satisfied with what you see?"

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Nanxi in disbelief, "You want me to read this?"

"Yes." Xiao Nanxi looked intoxicated, "I really like this part."

Nianxi: ...

"Could that guard be Lord Yan Qing himself reading it?"

Xiao Nanxi was very proud, "This is a good idea, right? It was my father who gave me this idea."

Really?

She doesn't believe it.

Nian Xi turned around and looked at Yan Qing, who was standing not far away in a black suit and holding a sword. It was difficult for her to connect the shameful words with the handsome and stern face in front of her.

If the princess' request hadn't been too tricky, Nian Xi herself would have really wanted to see how Yan Qing would interpret that evil smile.

"I think reading from the storybook is still too advanced," Nian Xi said tactfully, "When they know more words, they should understand it on their own."

Fuling had advised the princess all night yesterday, and now she also echoed, "Your Highness, just follow what Miss Wen said and forget it."

Xiao Nanxi pouted, looking very unhappy, "But I practiced with Yan Qing for a long time yesterday."

If Yan Qing hadn't been standing quietly not far away, Nian Xi would have laughed out loud on the spot.

She thought about it, then stepped forward and whispered something into the princess's ear. Xiao Nanxi's cheeks suddenly turned red, she looked behind her, then quickly turned back and asked in the same low voice, "Really?"

Nian Xi nodded and smiled mysteriously.

So Xiao Nanxi no longer insisted on reading the storybooks.

Fuling was amazed and thought Miss Wen was truly an expert who could make Her Royal Highness the Princess give up her idea with just one sentence.

Since she didn't have to teach the girls, she had some free time. Although Xiao Nanxi often left the palace, she didn't want to waste such time, so she planned to go to the Royal Polo Field to race horses.

She invited Nianxi to go with her.

In early spring, the chill has not yet completely subsided, but the willow trees have already sprouted new branches, and the sky is high, bright, and light blue.

It's a great time.

Nianxi hadn't ridden a horse for a long time. She hesitated for a moment and declined, "I have to go to 'Fu Sheng Ban He' later, so I'm not free today. I'll ride with Your Highness another day."

Xiao Nanxi agreed, got on the carriage and headed for the football field.

Liuji Pavilion is in the east of the city, while the football field is in the north. One has to go through the bustling East Market in between. The princess is accompanied by guards when traveling, so it is inconvenient for her to travel back and forth in the city.

Then he walked along the official road outside the city gate.

On the way, we encountered a caravan crossing from the northeast trail.

There was a lot of trade going on in the capital, so Yan Qing hadn't paid much attention to it at first. However, as the caravan got closer, he discovered that the carriages were on a very shallow road, and there were no signs of wheels running over them. He calmly slowed down and held the sword tightly in his hand.

A group of merchants, seeing the nobleman's carriage, should have given way, but the convoy blocked the middle of the official road and suddenly stopped.

At that moment, the leader of the caravan shouted loudly, and the casual people all drew their swords and rushed towards the princess's caravan.

The scene was in chaos for a while.

Yan Qingshi always stayed close to the princess' carriage, the black and silver sword was full of murderous intent, and he killed all the assassins who tried to get close to the princess. The sharp sword tip cut from one end of the assassin's neck to the other, cutting the blood vessels, and blood spurted out, splashing his face and body.

The assassin fell to the ground with a thud before he could even make a sound. However, the scene was filled with the sound of swords colliding, so this muffled sound was not prominent and no one paid attention.

Until Xiao Nanxi shouted in surprise from the carriage:

"Yan Qing!"

Yan Qing turned around and saw a short assassin who had gone around the back of the car frame and climbed onto the wheel. In his hand, he held a poison-soaked dagger that shone black in the sunlight.

Yan Qing could clearly see the little princess's trembling eyes filled with panic.

Without hesitation, he threw the sword in his hand forward with force, and the assassin on the car fell to the ground. However, since he had no weapon, he was stabbed in the abdomen by the assassin in front of him, and blood gushed out.

Xiao Nanxi's body trembled violently, and he was about to rush out of the car, but Fuling held him tightly. Yan Qing was covered in blood, and he subconsciously turned sideways to block the little princess's sight. He quickly took out the soft sword from his waist and slashed at the assassin in front of him, killing him with one blow.

He always kills people in a simple and brutal manner.

"Sit back."

Yan Qing stood with his back to the Luanjia, holding the sword in one hand to protect the princess. His eyes were as sharp as knives as he stared at the assassin who was ready to strike in front of him.

Blood seeped through the lapels of his clothes and dripped onto the yellow earth, making small pits.

Yan Qing vowed to fight to the death, and the rest of the guards fought bloody battles until all the assassins were killed.

Xiao Nanxi was terrified.

Yan Qing turned around, his stern face turned gray due to excessive blood loss. He saw the little princess's clear eyes filled with anxiety and fear, tears streaming down her face, and inside her eyes was him, covered in blood.

He called out, "Your Highness, don't be afraid."

Your subordinates will protect you.

Before he could finish his words, he could no longer hold on and fell to his knees in front of the car.

Before he lost consciousness, only one thought came to Yan Qing's mind.

Don't cry, little princess.

…

Princess Wenshu was assassinated and nearly lost her life.

When the news reached the palace, Concubine Shu was in Empress Lu's Changle Palace. She fainted upon hearing the news.

When Xiao Nanxihun returned to the palace covered in blood, Concubine Shu was so frightened that her soul almost left her body.

"Mother, please save Yan Qing. He is about to die. If he dies, I will not be able to live..."

Her body was covered in Yan Qing's blood.

Emperor Jing finally calmed down and ordered the imperial doctors to rush forward to treat Xiao Nanxi. After confirming that Xiao Nanxi was in good health, he summoned the inner guards and the Dali Temple to investigate the assassination of Princess Wenshu and make sure to bring the thief to justice.

Duke Lu Wensheng of Fuguo was in charge of the case.
