Upon hearing the Princess's words, Ye Qingcheng was instantly moved.
She had previously thought that the eldest princess and the empress were on the same side, but now it seems that they are not.
Putting aside other things.
Just because of her words just now ("How dare you lay a hand on my niece-in-law")
This deeply moved Ye Qingcheng, making her feel a strong urge to protect her even at the cost of her life.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. These are nothing. Your niece-in-law is no threat to us. Protecting Your Majesty is the priority right now, so please leave first."
Hmm? You don't take it seriously?
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess paused, stunned for a moment.
But just then...
An arrow came from her side and was about to hit her.
Ye Qingcheng flashed to her side and caught the arrow with her bare hands.
Immediately afterwards.
Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes flashed coldly as she looked in the direction the arrow had been shot. She caught the arrow with her bare hands and flung it directly in that direction.
call out!
The arrow seemed to be firing at full power, its impact speed no less than that of a crossbow bolt, and perhaps even stronger, cutting through the air with an even more piercing shriek.
And it only lasted for a fleeting moment.
The arrow struck that spot.
Immediately afterwards, a shout of "Ah!" came from that direction.
this…
The princess had barely recovered from Ye Qingcheng's words and hadn't even had a chance to say a word to her when she witnessed this scene, which surprised her once again.
Meanwhile, on this side...
After Ye Qingcheng threw that arrow, the enemy's arrow attack also stopped.
The entire scene fell silent instantly.
But only for a moment.
Suddenly, figures emerged from all directions, surrounding everyone.
Ye Qingcheng and the Eldest Princess both frowned slightly as they looked at the men in black surrounding them.
The Empress Dowager, with a furrowed brow, came to Ye Qingcheng and the Princess's side, supported by Qinglian and others, and looked at the group of men in black.
Who are you?
Upon hearing this...
One of the men in black spoke up: "Hand over Princess Han, and we'll spare your lives."
Um?
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager was first taken aback, then her face darkened.
"What did you say? You want Qing'er?"
"Qing'er? What nonsense about Qing'er? We want Princess Han."
"How dare you! Do you even know what you're saying?"
"Huh? Old man, don't push your luck. We only want Princess Han. Don't force us to take action against you."
"you…"
"You're asking for death! How dare you insult my mother!"
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess's face turned cold, and she shouted in a chilling voice.
After hearing this, the man looked at the eldest princess.
"Hmph, so what if she insulted us? All we want is Princess Han. Who told her to come out and spout nonsense?"
"That's right, if you don't want to die, hand over Princess Han right now, or you'll be killed without mercy."
"Heh! What arrogance! Today I'll see what you're capable of!"
"Green leaves, green lotus, come forward."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"etc!"
Just then, the princess's two maids were about to rush out.
Ye Qingcheng called out to them.
The eldest princess looked at Ye Qingcheng with a puzzled expression.
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "Royal Aunt, there's no rush. Since they want me, I'll talk to them about it."
"Um?"
After listening.
The eldest princess frowned and asked in confusion.
After Ye Qingcheng finished speaking, she turned to look at the group of men in black.
"You want me?"
One of them looked Ye Qingcheng up and down: "You are the Princess Consort of Han?"
"Yes, it's me."
"She is indeed beautiful, but it's a pity that she's about to die."
"Death? Why should I die? Because of you?"
"Since you already know, why ask?"
"No, if it were just you, I wouldn't take you seriously. But if you brought out all your archers, I might be afraid."
"Huh? You actually knew we had other people?"
"Of course, I could have guessed it with my own cowardly behavior."
"You... Heh! So what if you guessed it? Do you think you can rely on your boastful words just now?"
"I'm not one to boast, and honestly, I don't take you guys seriously at all."
Why, do you know?
"Why?"
"Just because I'm a weak woman, you've mobilized so many people. Does that mean you're not very capable?"
"you…"
"Alright, Dazhuang, stop wasting your breath on her. Be careful, she might be stalling for time."
"Yes! That's right."
Upon hearing this, the man nodded and looked at Ye Qingcheng.
"Alright, since you are Princess Consort Han, then come with us!"
"Go? Where to?"
"Of course, I'll send you on your way."
"How dare you! Since you know she is the Princess Consort of Han, then you know our identities. Are you planning a rebellion?"
Upon hearing that they intended to kill Ye Qingcheng, the Empress Dowager's anger flared up once more.
"Rebellion? We wouldn't dare. All we want is her life."
"Hmph, her life? She's my royal daughter-in-law, a member of the royal family. How dare you openly harm her? Aren't you challenging the royal family?"
"old…"
"Dazhuang, watch your words, and don't forget..."
"Me? Hmph, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, right? We're just doing what we're asked for. We only want Princess Han. We won't touch any of you."
"you…"
