After hearing this, Qingluan and her companions glanced at a spot several dozen meters away.
The four of them were also utterly shocked.
"This...Qing'er, did you do all of this?"
After a moment of shock, the eldest princess asked.
Ye Qingcheng smiled and nodded: "Yes! I didn't expect the life-saving item that the prince gave me would be so useful."
"A life-saving item?"
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess frowned slightly.
"Um!"
What is it?
"This is it."
As Ye Qingcheng spoke, she pulled a small crossbow, about the size of a palm, from her sleeve.
Upon seeing this, the eldest princess took the small crossbow from Ye Qingcheng's hand and examined it carefully.
He asked, puzzled.
"You mean all these people were killed by this crossbow?"
"Um!"
After watching for a while, the eldest princess frowned and asked with some doubt.
"This little crossbow can kill so many people?"
Ye Qingcheng smiled and nodded: "Yes! This crossbow may be small, but it has a very strong shooting power."
Upon hearing this, the princess gripped the crossbow with a suspicious hand, raised her arm, aimed at the distance, and pulled the trigger.
call out!
In an instant, a small crossbow bolt was fired, slicing through the air with a sharp sound.
The eldest princess listened to the sound and nodded: "Hmm! I didn't expect such a small crossbow to have such powerful penetrating force."
Seeing that the Princess had tried it and was somewhat convinced, Ye Qingcheng changed the subject, asking, "Aunt, how is Grandmother?"
"Hmm! I've instructed Cuiye, Lüfu, and your two maids to guard it."
After hearing this, Ye Qingcheng nodded: "Then let's hurry back! So that Grandmother won't worry."
Upon hearing this...
The princess nodded, but she still glanced around again at the black-clad men who had been killed by Ye Qingcheng.
"Qing'er, did you ask them who they were? Why did they want to kill you?"
"We asked, but they wouldn't tell us."
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess frowned slightly again: "Judging from these people, they don't seem to be with the four people from earlier today."
Who exactly are they, and why did they send so many people to kill you? Who did you offend? Can't you figure it out?
Ye Qingcheng shook her head: "My niece-in-law has thought about it for a long time, but she really can't figure it out."
"Have you checked if they have any identification badges on them?"
"No."
"I will go and take a look."
Upon hearing that the eldest princess wanted to go and see the corpses, Ye Qingcheng was afraid that she would discover that the wounds on the corpses were caused by a dagger.
She quickly grabbed her.
"No, Your Majesty, your status is too high, so please don't go. Let Qingluan and the others go and take a look!"
After Ye Qingcheng finished speaking, she turned to Qingluan and the others and said:
"Qingluan, Dujuan, go and search those corpses to see if there are any items that can identify them."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Royal Aunt, let's go back first! We can't keep Grandmother worried. Let Qingluan and the others search!"
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess frowned, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.
"Okay! Let's go!"
After saying that.
The two then headed back towards the temple, leaving Qingluan and the others behind.
Now, let's talk about this side.
After Qinglong and his companions fought hundreds of rounds with the four shadowless figures,
The four shadowless figures, realizing they were outmatched, chose to flee.
Seeing this, Qinglong and his companions gave chase.
Therefore, the four of them were unaware of what was happening in the temple.
And very soon.
Ye Qingcheng and the Princess returned to the temple.
When the Empress Dowager heard that the two women had returned, she quickly got up and went to greet them.
Upon seeing Ye Qingcheng return covered in blood, she was immediately filled with worry.
"Qing'er, how are you? Where are you hurt?"
"Your Highness, are you injured?" Qinglian and Ningxin asked with worried and anxious expressions.
Ye Qingcheng first shook her head at Qinglian and Ningxin, then reached out to support the Empress Dowager's hand and said with a smile, "Grandmother, don't be nervous, your granddaughter-in-law is fine."
"You're alright? Then what about the blood on you?"
"These are the bad guys."
"A bad guy?"
"Um!"
"Are you alright?"
As the Empress Dowager spoke, she looked Ye Qingcheng up and down.
Seeing the Empress Dowager's anxious expression, Ye Qingcheng was deeply moved and said with a smile, "No, it's nothing at all."
Upon hearing this...
The Empress Dowager nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good."
"I'm sorry, Grandmother, I've worried you."
"You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"
The Empress Dowager spoke with a loving expression, then turned to look at Qinglian and Ningxin.
"Quickly, help your princess to wash up and change her clothes."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Highness, please allow us to help you wash up first!"
Ye Qingcheng nodded, then said to the Empress Dowager, "Grandmother, then your granddaughter-in-law will take her leave now."
"Okay! Go ahead!"
"Grandmother, now that your granddaughter-in-law is back, it's getting late. Why don't you go and rest? Don't tire yourself out."
"Very well, very well, as expected of my thoughtful Qing'er. Alright, go ahead!"
"yes."
Then.
Ye Qingcheng, Qinglian, and Ningxin then headed towards the bathhouse in the temple.
After they left.
The Empress Dowager looked at the eldest princess.
"Qing'er, what happened to those robbers?"
"Reporting to Mother, they are all dead."
Do you know who it is?
"I don't know, but Qing'er's people are already looking for clues."
