569 Cruel words, I am waiting in the imperial city

"Hiss..." Feng Qingchen let out a muffled cry of pain and hesitated a little. She wanted to ask the Ninth Prince to wait for her, but she didn't say it in the end. She gritted her teeth and prepared to follow.

The Ninth Prince's body paused. Although he did not look back, he could imagine Feng Qingchen's appearance at this moment. He slowed down his pace imperceptibly and waited for Feng Qingchen to catch up.

After all, he couldn't harden his heart towards Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen was his calamity. The Ninth Prince sighed helplessly, wondering whether he should order a sedan chair for Feng Qingchen to sit in, so that she wouldn't feel the pain from her wound.

Just as this thought flashed through my mind, I heard a sound of breaking wind behind me, followed by a strong murderous aura...

Oh no, things have changed!

There was no time to think about it. The Ninth Prince turned around quickly, reached out and held Feng Qingchen in his arms: "Be careful."

A "pop" sound was heard, and a green leaf flew from mid-air and flew towards the soldier in front of Xuan Fei at a high speed.

Swish... The fresh and tender leaves were stuck in the soldier's neck, and blood flowed out of the wound. The soldier opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe that he would die under a leaf. With a thud, the knife in his hand fell, and he rushed towards Xuan Fei's direction.

If it were any other time, Xuan Fei would have screamed in fear, but at this moment she was so frightened that she stood there without any reaction.

The Ninth Prince noticed that something had changed. At the moment he protected Feng Qingchen, he reached out and pulled out the hairpin on her head and shot it towards Xuan Fei's throat. He didn't want to cause any trouble.

Unfortunately, the Ninth Prince missed the best time because of protecting Feng Qingchen...

Snap... The hairpin was broken by a man in black clothes who suddenly appeared. It broke into two pieces and fell to the ground: "You dare to touch someone from Xuanxiao Palace. You are so brave."

The man in black glanced fiercely at Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince, not taking them seriously at all. He turned around and knocked down the soldiers beside Xuan Fei one by one with a brutal attitude. He ignored the soldiers who surrounded him and held the blood-covered Xuan Fei in his arms.

"Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei, how did you become like this? Bastards, you actually dared to hurt my Xiao Fei, you are tired of living." The man in black clothes roared, holding Xuan Fei carefully, stroking Xuan Fei's hair with his big hands, wanting to touch Xuan Fei's face several times but not daring to, his eyes full of anger and heartache.

Tears seemed to be falling from his red eyes. The soldier wanted to take the opportunity to attack, but was discovered by the man in black. A handful of leaves flew out from the sleeves of the man in black, and the soldiers who were close to him fell down in a circle.

A leaf can hurt someone, what a handsome skill. Feng Qingchen had to admit that compared to this man's ability to hurt someone with a leaf, her pistol was nothing.

The soldiers wanted to charge forward regardless of their casualties, but the Ninth Prince raised his hand, signaling them not to act rashly, as he did not want to make a meaningless sacrifice.

The soldiers did not move, and the man in black did not take the initiative to hurt anyone. He just held Xuan Fei in his arms, his face full of heartache: "Xiao Fei, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, second brother is here, no one dares to bully you, second brother is here."

"Second brother?" Xuan Fei had been in a dazed state. When she heard the voice of the man in black, she finally came to her senses. Her eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes, like a frightened deer.

Xuan Fei's eyes were blurred, tears mixed with blood flowed down. After seeing who was coming, she burst into tears: "Second brother, second brother, why did you come just now, why did you come just now. Wuuuu, second brother, they bullied Xiao Fei, help me kill them, no... capture them alive, I will chop them into pieces and feed them to the snakes." Xuan Fei had a backer, and became bolder.

"Second brother, my face hurts so much. That man destroyed my face, and that woman injured my legs. Second brother, please help me get revenge. You must help me get revenge." Xuan Fei cried out of breath. In addition, every part of her body was painful, so the sound was inevitably harsh to her ears.

"It hurts, brother, it hurts, Xiaofei, it hurts, it hurts..."

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Second brother is here. Be good, Xiaofei. It's all second brother's fault. Second brother is late. Don't worry, Xiaofei. Second brother will definitely avenge you. Second brother will not let anyone who hurt you go." The man in black gently pressed the back of Xuanfei's neck, and while Xuanfei was relaxing, he knocked her unconscious. Xuanfei was still screaming in pain before she passed out.

Feng Qingchen was protected in the arms of the Ninth Prince. Looking at the tenderness of the man in black, and the heartache and doting on his face, Feng Qingchen suddenly envied Xuan Fei for some reason.

She also wanted to have a brother who would pamper and love her unconditionally, who would scold her when she got into trouble but would definitely clean up the mess for her without complaint.

There is a reason why Xuanfei is lawless. She has a strong father and a capable brother, who both spoil her unconditionally without asking why.

"Woman, take your gaze back." Feng Qingchen's gaze at the black-clothed man was too scorching, and the Ninth Prince finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he held Feng Qingchen with more strength again.

Feng Qingchen quickly retracted his gaze, pretending to sigh, but actually explaining, "It's great to have a brother."

"What are you saying? Your brothers are the ones who want to kill you." The Ninth Prince said unhappily. He was not happy with the way Feng Qingchen looked at the man in black.

This is the difference between Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince. They are both children who lack love, but they have completely different attitudes towards family affection.

The Ninth Prince was born in the royal family and was accustomed to the ruthlessness of heaven. He had long given up this extravagant hope and knew very early that he should not expect the love of his relatives. Those who were related to him by blood either wanted to kill him or wanted to use him.

But Feng Qingchen didn't have that. She was still hoping that there was a relative in this world who was closely related to her by blood and would pamper her, care about her, and give her a sense of belonging to a home.

Hearing what the Ninth Emperor said, Feng Qingchen defended himself: "That was in the Heavenly Family. It wouldn't be like that in ordinary families."

Feng Qingchen firmly believed that if her parents were still alive, she would have younger brothers and sisters. Since she had a huge fortune and a vast territory, she would not compete with her younger brothers and sisters for anything.

"Humph, that's just because you don't have enough power. As long as you have enough power, even your closest relatives can stab you in the back." How could his royal brother have sat on that position if he hadn't stepped on the blood of his brothers.

"Not everyone likes power." At least, she felt that an ordinary home was more worthy of her struggle than the so-called kingdom. What was the point of her wanting the kingdom alone?

"Indeed, some people don't like power, but that doesn't mean they can stop fighting for it. Do you understand what it means to be forced to do something? Being born that way and being in that position, you can't stop fighting if you want to. Sometimes not fighting means death. If you want to survive, you must fight and be in the highest position, because no one believes that you will not fight." The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen chatted about these mysterious things as if they were alone, and did not take the man in black and Xuan Fei seriously at all.

The man in black initially had the mentality of watching a joke, thinking that the man and woman in front of him were complete idiots, but as time passed, he realized that he was the idiot, and the other party did not take him seriously at all. Most importantly, the longer he stayed, the more dangerous Xuan Fei would be.

insidious!

This man and woman actually used conversation to divert his attention. The man in black was furious, but as soon as he drew his sword, the archer drew his bow and arrow without the Ninth Prince's order and aimed at him...
