Chapter 480 The Princess Returns
"Who dares to disrupt the eldest princess's funeral? Get off your horse immediately!"
Seeing this, the Xiling Royal Guards who were responsible for maintaining order on the streets rushed out to stop him, but Shao Feiyang did not stop for a moment. He was alone on a horse with a long sword in hand, and he knocked away anyone who blocked his way.
Soon, a large group of royal guards on the long street were shouting and chasing, but the next moment they were beaten to the ground.
Many people in the city along the way were wiping away tears. People knew best who was truly working for them. No matter how bad the eldest princess's reputation was, it was she who stood up to help the weak when the powerful treated them like ants and grass, and it was she who rushed to the front line to protect her country and people when Xiling lost the battle.
Several Xiling princes walked out of the princess's residence, each holding a tablet and scattering paper money, carrying a coffin carried by eight people, crying as they walked:
"My royal sister, how could you be killed by Daxing?"
"The people of Daxing killed my Princess Xiling. I will not be a human being if I don't avenge this!"
"I want the people of Daxing to be buried with my sister!"
Several Xiling princes shouted louder than each other. At this moment, a carriage came galloping and stopped in front of the princess's mansion, blocking the funeral procession from leaving.
Seeing this, the Second Prince of Xiling, who was holding the tablet, shouted angrily, "Are they all dead? How dare you send a carriage to block my sister's path to the afterlife?"
Just as the royal guards in front of the Princess's Mansion were about to step forward to drive them away, they saw two young maids coming out of the carriage. One on the left and one on the right lifted the curtain, and Ye Ninglan, dressed in red and wearing a golden phoenix crown on her head, walked out slowly.
The whole city was in mourning, and everyone wore plain linen clothes. Only Ye Ninglan was wearing a gorgeous red dress, like the most beautiful scenery here.
She stood in front of the carriage, looking down at the funeral procession from above. "My royal brothers, you are in such a good mood. What's this about?"
Someone in the funeral procession recognized that the person emerging from the carriage was the eldest princess, Ye Ninglan. They immediately turned pale with fear and exclaimed, "Ghost!"
"Isn't the Princess dead?"
The body is in the coffin, and this one in front of me...
Several Xiling princes had sent assassins to kill Ye Ninglan. When the body was found, it was so damaged that it was unrecognizable. In order to get the eldest princess, who had always been a pressure on them and was better than them in both civil and martial arts, to recover from this world as soon as possible, they unanimously admitted that the body was Ye Ninglan.
The body was kept in the princess's mansion for seven days. Several princes were terrified every day, fearing that Ye Ninglan was not dead and would come back to turn the capital upside down. But she never showed up, so they gradually put their minds at ease and thought that Ye Ninglan was really dead.
Unexpectedly, on the day of the funeral, when the coffin was being carried out of the house, Ye Ninglan came back.
The Xiling princes looked at each other, and finally the Second Prince spoke first, "You are not my sister. My sister has been killed by the Daxing people. Her body is in the coffin! Who are you? How dare you pretend to be my sister?"
The fourth prince followed up with a shout:
"Someone, come and capture this thief pretending to be the princess!"
The fifth prince was the most ruthless. "You dare to bump into my sister's coffin, you deserve death. Come, kill her for me!"
Several Xiling princes were afraid that Ye Ninglan was still alive, so they made multiple preparations. Not only were there guards with swords everywhere in front of the Princess's Mansion and on the streets, but there were also archers lying in ambush on the roofs.
At the command of several princes, all those who were ambushing in the dark appeared.
"Is that all you have?"
Ye Ninglan took out a signal arrow from his sleeve and released it. Red fireworks shot up into the sky, bursting into huge fireworks.
Several assassins arranged by Prince Xiling rushed towards the carriage in unison, and Ye Ninglan's men had already mixed in with the people. After seeing the signal arrow sent out, they immediately rushed out from the crowd. Several groups of people fought bloody battles, and the people screamed in panic and scattered.
Seeing that the situation had changed, several Xiling princes threw away what they were holding and retreated to the princess's mansion, ordering their guards to surround and kill the villain who pretended to be the eldest princess.
Ye Ninglan jumped down from the carriage, drew the long sword from his waist, and blocked their way. "Why are you leaving? Aren't you going to kill me? Come on!"
Several Xiling princes were so provoked by Ye Ninglan that they took weapons from their subordinates and rushed forward to kill Ye Ninglan.
They knew that Ye Ninglan was back, and this matter would not be easily revealed. Today, either she would die or they would die.
Ye Ninglan, sword in hand, fought the four Xiling princes without losing an inch. After a round of fighting, she pierced the second prince's chest with her sword, chopped off the fourth prince's ear, and when she stabbed the fifth prince in the chest with her sword, the latter knelt down, "Royal sister! Royal sister, spare me! This was all their idea, I was forced into this!"
"A bunch of trash! Useless things!"
Ye Ninglan kicked him several steps away, then killed the guards who kept rushing up to besiege her. The sword in her hand was like a dragon, and her body was as agile as flying.
Shao Feiyang came on horseback and saw a scene that was so terrifying that he dared not blink.
Ye Ninglan, dressed in red, was killing people everywhere. Her men had been silent in the capital for a long time, waiting for the eldest princess to return and bring about a new era. At this time, their morale was high and they quickly defeated the four princes' men.
The Sixth Prince took the opportunity to run away, but Shao Feiyang, who was riding on his horse, kicked him back to Ye Ninglan's sword. The bloody sword tip was pressed against his neck. He dared not move, "You, you can't kill me!"
Ye Ninglan killed him with one sword, blood splattered everywhere. "You want me to die, so why should I spare your life?"
Ye Ninglan has never been a bloodthirsty person, nor is he a kind-hearted person.
I will not offend others unless they offend me.
If anyone offends me, I will kill him.
Shao Feiyang dismounted and, while fighting off several of Prince Xiling's men, he quickly rushed towards the Princess of Xiling, "Ye Ninglan!"
"Daxing sent me a message saying they sent me a royal consort." Ye Ninglan raised his sword and killed the assassins who rushed forward. He turned around to look at the person who came, and his eyes lit up for a moment, "It's you, General Shao."
Shao Feiyang didn't know how to respond for a moment.
What emperor husband?
That's not what those people said when he asked for orders in front of the emperor.
Ye Ninglan was dressed in red, her dress fluttering in the wind, blood dripping from the long sword in her hand. She killed two assassins who rushed up, and then dodged and stood back to back with Shao Feiyang.
Her back was only for Shao Feiyang. They killed the enemies together and met again in the midst of blood and sword light. They had no time to express their sorrow of separation. Just one look from them told them that they had never let go of each other.
Ye Ninglan said: "If you don't say anything, I will take it as your consent."
Shao Feiyang pressed his back against hers, "I wasn't sent here by anyone else."
Ye Ninglan didn't understand what he meant for a moment, "What?"
Shao Feiyang said solemnly: "I came here by myself."
