"stop!"
Qin Jialuo came hurriedly with several maids.
Seeing that Xie Yunqi had a sword pointed at his throat, his face suddenly changed.
She took a few steps forward, but was stopped by Zhixia with her arm across.
"Princess Qin, please stop." Zhixia said coldly.
Qin Jialuo looked at Zhixia coldly, and laughed in anger: "What? This princess can't even walk?"
She looked past Zhixia and looked directly at Chu Qingluan, sneerfully: "Chu Qingluan, you are really capable! Pei Yuan is dead, and you want to vent your anger on Xie Yunqi? Why? Do all the men in the world have to revolve around you? If one dies, another must be buried with you?"
Chu Qingluan's eyes became fierce, and the veins on the hand holding the sword bulged, but she still did not turn around, just staring at Xie Yunqi.
Seeing this, Zhixia immediately shouted: "Qin Jialuo! Pay attention to your identity! If you dare to disrespect my princess again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Qin Jialuo sneered, neither advancing nor retreating, but raised her voice and said: "Relying on you, a wild princess who was sealed halfway through?"
"Humph! This princess is an envoy of the Qin Empire, representing the diplomatic relations between our two countries! But you——"
She pointed at the dead body on the ground, implying: "Xie family's secret guards assassinated your princess, Xie Yunqi can't escape the blame! But what about you? Chu Qingluan, you want to kill him to vent your anger without even investigating?"
"Shut up!" Zhixia couldn't stand it anymore and waved her hand: "Someone! Send Princess Daqin back to the tent!"
The guard stepped forward immediately, but Qin Jialuo threw his sleeves and shouted sharply: "Get out!"
She stared at Chu Qingluan's back and her voice suddenly rose. "Chu Qingluan, if you dare to touch Xie Yunqi today, you will be an enemy of the Qin Dynasty! This princess will definitely write a letter back to the country and ask my father--"
“Bang!”
Zhixia slapped her hard in the face with her backhand.
Qin Jialuo staggered a step, covered her face and looked at Zhixia in disbelief: "You dare to hit this princess?"
Zhixia said coldly: "This slap is to make you realize your position. If you dare to say one more word, the next slap will be more than this."
Qin Jialuo's face turned pale, and she finally realized that Chu Qingluan would not be threatened by her at all at this moment.
She gritted her teeth and took two steps back. Her eyes swept across everyone with resentment, finally landing on Xie Yunqi. Her voice suddenly became soft: "Prime Minister Xie, do you see this? This is the person you want to be loyal to..."
Xie Yunqi finally raised his eyes, with a cold look in his eyes.
"Princess Qin, this is none of your business."
He was speaking to Qin Jialuo again, but his eyes never left Chu Qingluan's face.
Qin Jialuo's breathing stagnated, a trace of unwillingness and resentment flashed in his eyes, and then he sneered: "Good! Very good!"
She turned her gaze to Chu Qingluan: "Chu Qingluan, let's wait and see!"
He took her away, and the cliff became dead silent again.
Chu Qingluan's sword was still against Xie Yunqi's throat, and her voice was hoarse: "Xie Yunqi, do you have anything else to say?"
Xie Yunqi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was only determination in his eyes: "Your Majesty... I have nothing to say."
Chu Qingluan's wrist trembled, and the sword tip suddenly raised up——
“Sizzle!”
The sword flashed, and a piece of bright red sleeve was cut off and fell into the pool of blood between the two people.
"From today on, there is no more friendship between you and me."
Chu Qingluan sheathed her sword, her voice colder than the snow: "I will personally go and collect the blood debt of the Xie family!"
After saying that, she jumped onto the horse's back and never looked at Xie Yunqi again.
Zhixia immediately led his men to follow. The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and in the blink of an eye they disappeared over the cliff.
Xie Yunqi stood there, the wound in his throat still bleeding, but he seemed to feel no pain.
He bent down to pick up the broken sleeve on the ground, rubbing his fingers along the edge of the sword mark, and suddenly laughed softly: "The friendship is over... heh..."
Before the laughter died down, a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the cloth in his hand red.
"grown ups!"
Fuan was shocked and immediately went forward to support him.
Xie Yunqi raised his eyes, looked in the direction where Chu Qingluan disappeared, and ordered Fu An: "Let's go back to the hunting ground!"
——
On the other side, Chu Qingluan was riding a fast horse, galloping wildly in the mountains and forests, leaving even Zhixia's shouts far behind.
The wind was whistling in my ears and the mountain road in front of me became blurred in the fog after the rain.
She dug her nails deep into her palms, blood dripping down the reins, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
She had to get to the bottom of the cliff as soon as possible.
Even if there is the slightest possibility, she must find Pei Yuan.
If he's alive, I want to see him in person. If he's dead, I want to see... his corpse!
"Princess, there is danger ahead!" Zhixia's cry was torn apart by the mountain wind and left far behind.
Sudden--
“Whoosh!”
A poisoned arrow shot out from the woods and pierced the horse's leg!
The horse she was riding soon neighed and fell to the ground. Chu Qingluan spun around the moment it hit the ground, using her internal energy to fly into the air.
But at this moment, another arrow came through the air and pierced directly through her right shoulder.
“Puff!”
The severe pain caused her movements to slow down for a moment, and she fell straight to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
However, after landing, the fallen leaves on the ground suddenly collapsed, and she fell directly into a deep pit.
With a "bang" sound!
As luck would have it, the back of her head hit a stone hard, and a scarlet light exploded in front of her eyes.
Before she fell into complete darkness, she vaguely saw a white figure appear at the mouth of the pit...
…
When Chu Qingluan woke up again, she was in a shaking carriage. The wounds on her shoulders and arms had been bandaged. The back of her head still ached slightly, and her vision was a little dark.
