Chapter 86: Killing Men and Women
“Your Highness!”
Qiao Yihuan exclaimed, his eyes wide open as he looked at the scene in disbelief.
He Zhiyu's face was grim and his brows were furrowed. A feather arrow hit his chest, but he did not feel any pain. He only felt the sound of the jade plate on his chest breaking.
Without thinking too much, he took the bow and arrow from the guard beside him, put an arrow on it, and shot an arrow through the calf of the last assassin.
"Keep alive."
The guards around him immediately nodded in agreement.
Qiao Yihuan ran over in a hurry, and He Zhiyu took out the broken jade token from his chest.
This is the jade token that Wan Yan gave me when I was in Yongzhou.
It was this jade token that blocked the fatal blow for him.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" Qiao Yihuan's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He anxiously touched his chest but found that no blood was seeping out.
"It's okay, don't worry." He Zhiyu put away the jade token that was broken into two pieces.
He Baozhu was still in shock. How could she, who normally didn't even dare to kill a chicken and could only watch super sweet and refreshing TV dramas, withstand such pressure?
Now, she had come to this unknown ancient time for no apparent reason, and the moment she opened her eyes, she was faced with a life-and-death battle. The assassins died one by one, blood spurting out of their necks, and He Baozhu felt that her whole body was numb.
So scary!
Having witnessed the murder, she felt that she needed to see a psychiatrist at this moment.
He also has to be a super handsome psychologist to make up for her weak heart.
"Baozhu, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Yunxi City?" He Zhiyu asked.
He Baozhu was a little overwhelmed when asked this question suddenly. She had been experiencing a real version of Battle Royale since she opened her eyes. Now that she had gradually calmed down, the memories of the original owner began to emerge rapidly in her mind.
The body she wore was not that of an ordinary person, but that of the tenth princess of the current dynasty.
He Baozhu's eyes suddenly lit up. Princess?
Damn, it was worth it!
As soon as she opened her eyes, she found that the assassin who was chasing her was none other than her husband.
Although the original owner was a princess, she was unpopular since childhood and was timid and cowardly.
Later, when she reached the marriageable age, the emperor issued an imperial edict to grant her marriage, and after marriage she was sent to a remote fiefdom.
Over time, the prince consort got to know the heroine's personality and changed his attitude.
Not only did he take concubines wantonly and ostentatiously, he also allowed his concubines to be disrespectful and bully the princess. He even felt vain because he thought that although he was a prince consort, the princess could only live under his will, and he took pleasure in bullying the princess.
The original owner was indeed an even more cowardly loser than her. Not only did she not dare to resist, she also had no say in her own princess mansion.
As a result, this time she was pregnant but had a miscarriage by her concubine. She could no longer bear it and finally got brave enough to secretly return to Beijing to complain to the emperor.
As a result, the prince consort decided to go all the way and sent assassins to assassinate him.
If she hadn't met a kind person and the original owner's brother, the prince, hadn't arrived in time, she would have died as soon as she came through.
Qiao Yihuan said in a gentle voice: "Your Highness, the princess was just frightened. Why don't you let her have a good rest and ask again after returning to the capital?"
He Baozhu looked at Qiao Yihuan and felt a liking for him.
What a gentle person, not only did he save me, but he also helped me out of trouble so gently.
He Zhiyu nodded slightly, "Yihuan is very thoughtful, and I didn't consider it carefully. Let's get on the carriage first, and we will return to Beijing."
He Baozhu naturally got on the same carriage with Qiao Yihuan. She was still a little scared in her heart and did not dare to get on the same carriage that the original owner had taken when she came here alone.
"Princess, don't be afraid. Now that His Highness is here, he will definitely protect us."
He Baozhu nodded but said nothing.
As a time traveler, she would make more mistakes if she spoke more. Moreover, the original owner was a timid and cowardly person, so she should not be too reckless and wait and see what happens.
Qiao Yihuan said: "My father is the Minister of Revenue, my name is Qiao Yihuan. This is my friend, her name is Liu Yanran."
Liu Yanran secretly looked at the princess who suddenly appeared. In the novel, this person should not have much role, and she would not even meet Yihuan at this moment.
She remembered that this unfavored princess should have died suddenly. Thinking carefully, she thought that the news should have been reported back to the capital in early spring.
He Baozhu said: "Thank you for saving me."
Qiao Yihuan looked warm and said, "You are too polite, Princess. It is my honor to help you. I hope you are okay. There is not enough charcoal in my carriage, so please don't mind it."
He Baozhu shook her head and still said nothing, as if she was really frightened and dared not speak.
Qiao Yihuan poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her. "It would be great if my sister could come with us. My sister's carriage is always very warm, so the princess won't have to suffer from the cold."
The original owner didn't know much about the people in the capital. She grew up in the palace and didn't know much about the people and things in the previous dynasty and the capital, so she didn't know much about Qiao Yihuan.
But after getting to know each other for a while, she felt that Qiao Yihuan was a very nice and gentle person. She was very friendly and made people feel relaxed when getting along with her. She didn't have the arrogant temperament of the daughters of the ancient noble families that she had imagined.
He Baozhu closed her eyes but carefully digested everything in the original owner's memory. The more she digested, the more suffocated she felt.
It is unheard of that a princess could be treated like this.
The carriage did not go directly into the city, but stopped outside a farm outside the city.
Qiao Wanyan did not enter the manor. She asked the coachman to take Butterfly Grass and Xu Shujian home first, and she waited for the prince and his entourage in the carriage.
Hearing Zi Yuan's voice, she immediately got off the carriage and walked quickly towards the prince, with undisguised worry in her eyes.
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
He Zhiyu shook his head and said, "Thanks to you, I am fine now."
Qiao Wanyan didn’t understand. What does it have to do with her?
"Wanyan?" Qiao Yihuan's voice sounded behind him.
Qiao Wanyan turned around and glanced at the strange woman beside Qiao Yihuan, guessing that this person should be the unpopular Tenth Princess, He Baozhu.
"Wanyan has met the princess."
She leaned forward slightly and saluted, her gestures graceful and elegant. Her fairy-like face raised a faint smile, and the hazy glow of the warm sun pierced through the clouds and mist and sprinkled on her body, like a holy light appearing, stunningly beautiful.
He Baozhu was stunned on the spot.
The shocking image made her heart pound and her brain buzz.
If she wasn't a sister, how could she look like this?
This is better looking than hers!
Qiao Wanyan looked at He Baozhu staring at her in confusion, and walked over to hand her the hot water bottle in her hand, "Princess, the tip of your nose is red, did you catch a cold?"
He Baozhu took it stiffly, and the moment her fingertips touched it, she felt like something was flowing out of her nose.
