Not only did she not die, she even incited these ignorant people to try to attack the princess of the time.
It's simply the opposite of Tiangang!
Zhixia dug her nails deep into her palms and stared at Gu Yanran who was standing tall in the carriage.
That once familiar face now carries a strange weirdness and madness.
What’s funny is that none of these believers noticed her abnormality and they all treated her like a living Bodhisattva.
Just as Zhixia was about to step forward to expose her, she heard the believers who had led the group start to attack the gate of Langanju.
Behind him was a crowd of enthusiastic people, their eyes red, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, hoes, torches, and stones, smashing against the vermilion lacquered gate.
"Stop! Stop now! She is not a saint at all, she is the real witch!"
However, Zhixia's voice was quickly drowned out by the excited crowd.
Everyone was still in high spirits at that time, who could hear it?
Zhixia suddenly drew out the dagger, with a desperate determination in his eyes.
"No! We have to stop them!"
At this critical moment——
"stop!"
I saw a team of armored soldiers coming in formation, and the one leading them was Qi Che who disguised himself as Yun Yan.
Holding the handwritten order of the Third Prince Chu Hong, he said loudly: "Langanju is a forbidden area. Anyone who trespasses will be charged with treason!"
A hint of jealousy flashed across Gu Yanran's eyes. It was just a little bit away from the door being broken open.
She sneered and refused to give in.
"Sir, are you going to disobey the will of the Virgin Mary?"
She had finally incited these fools to gather here today, just to force Chu Qingluan to show up, point out in public that she was a witch, and make her unable to stay in Youzhou City.
But she didn't expect that Yun Yan would protect her so much!
Are all the men in the world dead?
Why are they all leaning towards Chu Qingluan?
Thinking of this, Gu Yanran's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but it was quickly replaced by compassion.
"Dear believers!" She had tears in her eyes and her voice was sad.
"Look! These soldiers are protecting the evildoers who are wreaking havoc in Youzhou!"
She pointed at the crumbling gate and said, "Are you going to watch your loved ones continue to be harmed by witchcraft?"
The crowd suddenly became agitated, and several bribed strong men took the opportunity to shout:
"If the official wants to protect the witch, we will kneel down and die here!"
"Holy Mother, I am not afraid of death!"
As they spoke, a few old ladies actually knelt down in front of the officers and soldiers, trembling, which made the soldiers with knives suddenly at a loss.
The third prince had issued an order prohibiting any action against unarmed civilians, and anyone violating the order would be punished by military law.
Qi Che was stunned!
I didn't expect Gu Yanran to be so reckless and desperate to force Chu Qingluan to show up.
He approached Gu Yanran and warned her with a voice that sounded almost like gnashing his teeth: "Are you crazy? How dare you disobey the Third Prince's order?"
Gu Yanran raised her chin, her eyes flashing with madness: "Mr. Yun, you are just a small guard commander, are you qualified to teach this saint a lesson?"
Indeed, in terms of status, Gu Yanran is indeed much higher than Qi Che.
What's more, she did it on purpose. She wanted to kill Chu Qingluan to avenge her personal vengeance before the Third Prince rushed back to Youzhou.
Even if the Third Prince came to settle accounts with her, she could easily shirk responsibility by saying that Yun Yan in front of her had been bewitched by Chu Qingluan and she was just cleaning up the mess for the Third Prince.
She just didn't believe that Chu Qingluan was just a pawn in the hands of the Third Prince. Could he kill her to avenge Chu Qingluan?
Qi Che's pupils shrank slightly, and his fingers unconsciously pressed on the dagger in his hand.
However, at this tense moment, the red lacquered door of Langanju suddenly made a heavy creaking sound and slowly opened inwards.
At this moment, a dazzling light poured out from the crack in the door, causing everyone to squint their eyes involuntarily.
After a long while, when the light faded, everyone held their breath after seeing the figure coming out.
Chu Qingluan was seen walking out slowly in a bright red palace dress with a golden phoenix pattern and a golden crown with nine phoenixes holding pearls on her head, surrounded by sixteen armed guards.
The morning sun gilded her with a layer of gold, and as her clothes fluttered, the phoenix embroidered with gold thread seemed to be about to spread its wings and fly high.
"I am Chu Qingluan, the legitimate princess of the Great Chu."
Her voice was clear and melodious, like pearls falling on a plate, "Who is being so presumptuous here?"
In an instant, the whole audience fell silent!
The civilians holding weapons were all dumbfounded, and the old ladies kneeling on the ground were trembling all over, their eyes widened, and they all looked at this scene in disbelief.
With this kind of dignified demeanor and majestic posture, how could this woman be a witch?
It is clearly the goddess from the nine heavens descending!
"God, goddess..."
Someone in the crowd shouted, and soon someone knelt down involuntarily and bowed to Chu Qingluan, "The goddess has descended, the goddess has descended..."
The rest of the people also slowly reacted and looked at each other, all somewhat confused.
Isn’t it said that the person imprisoned inside is a witch?
How did she become a princess again?
Faced with Chu Qingluan's demeanor and majesty, no one suspected that she was a fake.
For some people, elegance and grace are ingrained in their bones, and it is not possible to fake them.
"Everyone, please be clear-headed and don't be fooled by her. This must be the magic trick of the witch."
Gu Yanran's face changed. Seeing that something was wrong, she immediately reminded everyone in a sharp voice.
Qi Che also stood there in a daze, obviously caught off guard.
But after a moment's thought, he understood again -
The princess is trying to take advantage of the situation to break the impasse.
Now that the people of the entire city have witnessed her identity, the Third Prince must think twice before secretly imprisoning her.
Thinking of this, a sinister gleam flashed across Qi Che's eyes.
What a good move of retreating to advance!
Here, Gu Yanran was still trying to resist.
She took out the mirror from her sleeve and pointed it at Chu Qingluan.
"The magic mirror given to me by the Virgin Mary will reveal your true form today."
Just as she was about to point the mirror at Chu Qingluan, her wrist was suddenly hit by something.
It was Zhixia who threw a hidden weapon to block Gu Yanran's action.
There was a crisp sound of "crash".
The mirror that was said to be given by the Virgin Mary fell to the ground in an instant and broke into several pieces.
In an instant, the fragments of the mirror reflected a strange light in the sunlight.
When everyone looked closely, they saw that there was a layer of black powder attached to the inside of the fragments, which was now drifting away with the wind.
"Is this... Black Scale Powder?"
An old drug dealer in the crowd exclaimed!
