Chapter 927 Adding insult to injury
The couple was so angry that they simply stopped wasting time arguing with Xiao Xixi.
They decided to take a hard approach!
Even though doing so would likely attract soldiers, they didn't care.
Take this woman away first!
Xiao Xixi noticed their actions, reached out her hand first, and grabbed the two men's faces!
The woman who was closer to her was caught off guard and was grabbed hard, leaving three bloody marks on her cheek.
The special-effect drug that Xiao Xixi smeared on the nail of her little finger then seeped into the woman's body.
The woman froze in place, unable to move.
The man reacted quickly and dodged the hand that Xiao Xixi extended to him.
Seeing this, Xiao Xixi knew that the other party had become alert and it would be difficult to succeed in a sneak attack again.
She reached out and pulled out the silver hairpin on the woman's head.
She pressed the tip of the hairpin to her throat and cried.
"I won't go back with you. If you force me again, I will die in your arms!"
Everyone present was shocked and spoke out to dissuade him.
"Girl, don't be upset!"
"If you have something to say, talk to me nicely. Don't do anything stupid!"
"Put the hairpin down!"
…
The man wanted to reach out and snatch the silver hairpin from Xiao Xixi's hand.
Xiao Xixi stepped back in a hurry, crying even more pitifully: "Don't come over here, don't force me, wuwuwu!"
The onlookers hurriedly pulled the man away, preventing him from getting close to Xiao Xixi to avoid irritating her.
The man was stopped by a group of people and couldn't move forward, and he became more and more annoyed.
Xiao Xixi, holding the hairpin in her hand, stepped back step by step.
Seeing that she was getting farther and farther away from him, the man knew that if he didn't take action, this woman would really run away!
He didn't care about anything else. He pulled out the dagger from his sleeve, pointed the blade at everyone present, and roared.
"Get out of my way, everyone! Otherwise, I'll kill you all with my sword!"
Everyone was frightened and retreated in a hurry, not daring to approach him.
The man took the opportunity to rush out of the crowd and pounced towards Xiao Xixi.
Xiao Xixi turned around and ran, shouting as she ran.
"Help! Someone's killing me!"
This scene caused a great shock on the official road. Passers-by all stopped and looked at Xiao Xixi and the man.
At this time, Xiao Xixi suffered internal injuries, her chest hurt badly, there was blood at the corners of her mouth, her face was pale, her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and she looked like a little white flower swaying in the wind, in danger of breaking at any time. She looked extremely pitiful.
The middle-aged man chasing behind had a fierce look on his face and a gleaming dagger in his hand. It was obvious that he was not a good person.
There happened to be a bodyguard team nearby, and the team was full of martial artists.
When they saw this, they thought that some bandits were trying to rob a decent woman. They were immediately filled with anger, drew their swords, rushed forward to stop the man, and prevented him from continuing to chase the poor young lady.
The man was stopped. No matter how he threatened and roared, it was of no avail. Instead, he was severely punished by the group of bodyguards.
Xiao Xixi gritted her teeth and endured the pain and ran away for a distance.
Later, I couldn't bear it anymore and felt like my internal organs were about to break.
What's worse, the poison that remained in her body broke out.
The severe internal injuries coupled with the poison were simply adding insult to injury.
A fishy and sweet taste rose up my throat.
Xiao Xixi could no longer hold on, staggered and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
My vision went dark and my head felt a little dizzy.
This feeling is worse than death!
Xiao Xixi really wanted to give up on herself and just lie there and wait to die.
But when she thought that there were people waiting for her to come back, she could only grit her teeth, force herself to cheer up, and struggle to get up from the ground.
At this time, a carriage stopped in front of her.
The car door opened, revealing a middle-aged man sitting inside.
The man was wearing a long gown with wide sleeves, his hair tied up with a high crown, and had a short beard under his chin. He looked very friendly and elegant.
He got off the carriage, stretched out his hand to Xiao Xixi, and said with concern.
"My Lady Imperial Concubine, why are you here? The Emperor knows you're missing and is very worried. He's been looking for you everywhere."
When Xiao Xixi heard the word "Emperor", she instinctively raised her head and looked at the other party.
She had never seen this middle-aged man and didn't know who he was, but from his facial features, she could tell that he had ill intentions towards her.
Xiao Xixi suspected that he was in cahoots with Yu Jiu and those assassins.
These people come in waves, they are like ghosts that won’t go away!
The middle-aged man reached out his hand to help her get into the car.
Xiao Xixi dodged his hand: "I don't know you, you got the wrong person."
She turned and tried to leave.
The middle-aged man grabbed her arm and prevented her from leaving.
"Your Highness looks badly injured. It would be best if she doesn't wander around."
Xiao Xixi scratched the back of his hand with her nails.
The middle-aged man seemed to be prepared. He twisted her arm behind her back to avoid her nails, raised his other hand high, and hit her neck hard.
Xiao Xixi felt a strong wind coming from the back of her neck.
She tried her best to break free but couldn't, and thought she was really finished this time!
If she had known that she would be unable to escape the clutches of the devil in the end, she would not have bothered with the effort just now and would have saved herself so much suffering.
Just when the middle-aged man's palm was about to hit Xiao Xixi's neck, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed the middle-aged man's forearm exactly.
The middle-aged man stopped moving.
A lazy voice sounded.
"My dear, you are dressed like a gentleman, how dare you seize a woman in broad daylight?"
The middle-aged man suddenly turned around and looked at the person who came.
I found that the other person was a young man wearing a green gown.
The man was dressed like a scholar, wearing a green turban. A smile was on his fair and handsome face. He looked very gentle and elegant, but there was not even a trace of smile in his eyes, which made people feel cold for no reason.
Xiao Xixi had already prepared herself mentally to die, but when she heard this familiar voice, her whole body froze.
She quickly turned her head to look at the source of the voice, and when she saw that familiar handsome face, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Second Brother!"
The person who came was her second senior brother, Ye Jiucheng.
Ye Jiucheng smiled at her and said, "Junior sister, I hope I'm not too late."
Xiao Xixi hurriedly said: "Not too late, not too late, you came just in time!"
When the middle-aged man saw that the two men knew each other, he knew that he couldn't fool them and could only use force.
He winked at the driver.
The coachman immediately pulled out the knife hidden under the carriage and slashed at Ye Jiucheng!
Ye Jiucheng pushed the middle-aged man away and fought with the driver.
The middle-aged man took the opportunity to drag Xiao Xixi away.
At this time, two more people showed up, namely the third senior brother Pei Qianhuo and the younger junior brother Chu Jian.
They blocked the middle-aged man's way from the front and the back.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the middle-aged man prepared to use Xiao Xixi as a hostage.
Pei Qianhuo moved his fingers, and a thin embroidery needle flew out and pierced into the middle-aged man's arm, causing him to scream in pain.
"You're not allowed to bully my junior sister."
