507 Feng Qingchen, did you do this?
"Something happened."
With a swish, the guards drew out the swords from their waists at the same time. Their faces were solemn but not panicked. They protected Feng Qingchen in the middle as quickly as possible.
Their mission today is to protect Feng Qingchen. As long as Feng Qingchen is fine, they will be fine.
Feng Qingchen smiled and looked in the direction of the sound... That was right, she guessed that the snake should have successfully sneaked into the area where Su Wan was.
Obviously, Su Wan's luck was not good as she was discovered by the snake so quickly.
With a loud "bang", a column of black smoke rose into the sky, followed by the sound of footsteps in unison.
"It's Miss Su. Something happened to Miss Su." The guard felt relieved.
It is better for something to happen to Su Wan than for the emperor or the prince to get into trouble.
"Let's go and take a look." She came out of the hunting area just to see the fun, so how could she miss this opportunity.
"This..." The guard was in a dilemma. If he moved forward at this time, he would be a fool.
Feng Qingchen also understood that running to the front line for no reason would cause trouble for the guards, so he explained, "Something happened to Su Wan, so it may not be safe here. There are only ten of us in total, and we won't be able to hold out for long if we really encounter danger. It's better to go find the Crown Prince and Prince Luo, and we can all get together so that we can take care of each other if something happens."
"Miss Feng is right. Let's go now." The guard nodded secretly. No wonder she could win the heart of the Ninth Prince. The rumors were not completely unbelievable. At least this Miss Feng was quite courageous and fearless in the face of danger.
As soon as Feng Qingchen and his group appeared, the prince noticed them and shouted happily, "Qingchen, I'm glad you're okay."
The Crown Prince, Dongling Ziluo, Mr. Yuanxi and Xiling Tianlei were surrounded by guards with their swords drawn. They were all facing a powerful enemy. When they saw Feng Qingchen appear, they pointed their swords at her and refused to let her move forward.
"I just came out of the hunting area. I heard some noise over there, so I ran over here because I was afraid there might be danger." Feng Qingchen pointed to the area where Su Wan was. When he saw that Ye Ye was not there, the mockery in his eyes became even more intense.
She was sure that Ye Ye must know what had happened. Harming others will eventually harm yourself. She didn't know what expression Ye Ye would have when he saw the python.
"I'm glad you're okay. Let you go." The prince waved his hand and leaned back in his chair, gasping for breath. His face was pale and his chest was heaving violently. This series of events had really exhausted the prince.
His people came to report that there was a problem with Feng Qingchen's flare. As a result, Feng Qingchen was fine, but something went wrong with Su Wan. Both of them were a concern, and the prince was really troubled.
How can he be an emperor with such a body? Feng Qingchen looked away out of sympathy, but when he turned around, he saw the eyes of Xiling Tianlei, Dongling Ziluo and Mr. Yuanxi looking at him. Their expressions seemed to be saying, Feng Qingchen, what did you do to Su Wan?
Xiling Tianlei even asked directly: "Feng Qingchen, do you know what happened to Su Wan?"
"Prince Lei, your question is very strange." Feng Qingchen said unhappily, glancing at Dong Ling Ziluo and Mr. Yuan Xi at the same time.
"Is it strange? I don't think so. I just asked this question, why did Miss Feng react so strongly? Is she feeling guilty?" Xiling Tianlei tapped the table lightly, trying to relieve the uneasiness in his heart.
Ye Ye has been in there for a long time and hasn't come out yet. It seems that Su Wan is in big trouble.
"Feeling guilty? What Prince Lei said is really funny. Even if I should feel guilty, it's not me. Don't forget, I only found out an hour ago that today's competition was changed to the Beast Garden. It was not until the Prince told me the rules of the competition that I knew what today's competition was about. I came here unprepared and everything I used was prepared by the palace. Oh... I forgot, my spear is still here. Unfortunately, it's not stained with blood." Feng Qingchen hinted that Su Wan was well prepared and obviously knew the rules of the competition a long time ago. Only those who understand the rules can take advantage of them.
"Really? Then where were you last night, Miss Feng?" After the last assassination incident, Feng Qingchen's courtyard in the West District was heavily guarded, and no water could get in and no needle could get in.
"Prince Lei, are you interrogating a prisoner? Not to mention that Qingchen is not a prisoner. Even if I am a prisoner, Prince Lei, you are not qualified to interrogate me. Don't forget that you are the prince of Xiling, and I am the noble lady of Dongling." Feng Qingchen's eyes turned cold and his tone changed.
The Crown Prince and Dongling Ziluo also looked at Xiling Tianlei with an accusatory look. Xiling Tianlei smiled apologetically: "Qingchen misunderstood. I just asked a question. If Qingchen is embarrassed, you don't have to answer."
This is a trap set for Feng Qingchen to fall into.
"Prince Lei, we are not familiar with each other, so you'd better call me Miss Feng. As for where I was last night? It's not that I can't answer, it's just that I'm really embarrassed." At the end, Feng Qingchen's cheeks turned red and she looked shy.
Well, now she didn't need to say anything, everyone present understood what was going on. After all, no one was stupid.
Dong Ling Zi Luo's face darkened immediately, while the Crown Prince and Yuan Xi looked very interested. Mr. Yuan Xi even joked, "Qing Chen, you weren't with the Ninth Prince the whole night, were you?"
They had already received the news that the Ninth Prince had recovered from his illness and moved back to the Ninth Prince's Palace this morning.
"Mr. Yuan Xi knows the consultant well." Feng Qingchen raised her head, openly and without any shyness, which confused Dongling Ziluo and Xiling Tianlei.
What was going on between Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince? Feng Qingchen's behavior really confused them. They really didn't understand what the Ninth Prince was up to.
"Report..." A guard in light armor ran forward desperately and shouted from a distance.
"Speak." Business was important, so everyone quickly turned their attention to the guard.
"Dong..." The guard rushed forward and knelt on one knee: "Your Highness, Miss Su Wan encountered a giant python in the hunting area, so..."
Without waiting for the guard to finish, Xiling Tianlei hurriedly asked, "Is Miss Su Wan in trouble?"
"Reply... uh, no. Miss Su Wan is fine." The guard wanted to say "Your Highness", but when he thought that the other party was the prince of Xiling, he became vague.
Xiling Tianlei's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction: "Where is Young Master Ye?"
"Young Master Ye was bitten by a snake and was poisoned. In addition, many guards were injured by pythons and were poisoned. Your Highness, please summon the imperial physician." Although the guard was answering Xiling Tianlei's words, he was speaking to the prince.
"Hurry, saving lives is the most important thing, call the imperial physician." Dong Ling Zi Luo spoke faster than the prince. He looked as if he was the leader of the group and it was obvious that he wanted to suppress the prince.
"Yes." The eunuch immediately took the order and left.
A fierce look flashed across the prince's eyes, and then he nodded as if nothing had happened: "Indeed, saving people is the most important thing. I wonder how Young Master Ye is doing now?"
In the palace, he, a prince, was even more important than the King of Luo, but that was the fact and he had nothing to say.
"Young Master Ye's left hand was bitten by a poisonous snake, his left arm turned black, and he fell into a coma. My subordinates have protected Young Master Ye's heart meridian, and his life is not in danger for the time being." The guard replied hurriedly.
The prince stood up quickly. Ye Ye was the only son of Lord Ye. If he died in Dongling, Lord Ye would definitely not let it go. He would never let Ye Ye die here...
If Ye Ye dies here, it will be his responsibility.
