Chapter 82 Something Happened
She stood in the room and hesitated for a long time before she finally digested the news and accepted the fact that someone wanted to kill her.
She walked to the door. Countless rehearsals had enabled her to calm many people down. She took a deep breath and then opened the door with a calm expression.
"Princess, do you have any instructions?" the maid asked respectfully.
"I want to go out!" The princess held her head high, and her face showed no trace of the panic she had just shown in the room.
"Princess, you've been exhausted from the long journey. You should take a rest!" The maid had no intention of letting her go.
"Pah——" The princess slapped him upon hearing this, "What? I can't even go out for some fresh air? Who gave you the courage?" Her little face was full of anger.
"I know I was wrong," the maids knelt down together, "I deserve to die, please forgive me, Princess!" They put their heads on the ground, shaking all over.
The princess then walked out with a swagger.
She had not walked a few steps out of the room when she saw Commander Qin, who had escorted her to Chiyan this time.
She looked around vigilantly, and when she didn't find anyone suspicious, she grabbed Commander Qin's arm and pulled him to a corner where he would not be easily discovered.
"What's wrong, Princess?" Commander Qin bowed.
"Commander Qin." The princess' face was filled with anxiety. "Someone wants to kill me. There are assassins. They are hiding in this post station. Please save me." She regarded Commander Qin as her life-saving straw.
"Princess, don't be anxious!" Commander Qin was confused. "Who said that, Princess? Our people are here to guard you. No one will dare to disrespect you. Don't worry, Princess!" Although he didn't say it, he couldn't help but feel that she was a little too nervous. Everything was fine, there was no assassin.
"I don't know who he is!" Seeing Commander Qin's face full of disbelief, the princess became even more anxious. "But someone really told me. He handed me a note saying that someone wanted to kill me and told me to run away quickly!" She was afraid that an assassin would jump out and kill her right now. The panic on her face was obvious.
"Princess, don't worry. I will definitely protect your safety!" Commander Qin did not argue with her. "No one can approach the princess and threaten her life." This is also his duty. He has to send people to the Chiyan Imperial City, so he will naturally do his best.
The princess insisted on escaping, but Commander Qin persuaded her to go back.
She sat in the room anxiously, her mind highly concentrated. She would panic at the slightest disturbance around her.
But nothing happened at night, so she began to doubt herself, wondering if she was overthinking it and whether the note she saw today was just a bored prank by someone.
Although she thought so, she still felt a little uneasy in her heart.
It was midnight and she had already fallen asleep when she suddenly heard someone shouting.
"The fire is coming!"
"The fire is coming—"
"Someone come put out the fire——"
The princess woke up from her sleep with a start. When she sat up on the bed, there was already flames outside and the air was filled with cries and shouts.
She thought something was wrong and was about to open the door and run out.
When she opened the door, two groups of people were already fighting outside.
She knew that everything that happened during the day was true.
Just when she was at a loss, a group of people saw her and stabbed at her with swords in their hands.
