"Qingcheng, Qingcheng, no..."
Ye Maochun grabbed Hua Qingcheng's hand tightly to prevent her from jumping into the Yousi River to save people.
"Dad, I'm useless. I can't save him..."
Looking at the surging Yousi River, which is known as the "forbidden land of death", Hua Qingcheng collapsed on the ground, hugging Ye Maochun and crying loudly.
"Qingcheng, this isn't your fault. It's Dad who has implicated Young Master Gongyang..."
Seeing his savior die in the freezing cold Yousi River in an instant, and his daughter looking heartbroken, Ye Maochun burst into tears and felt so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
"Dad... Master Bai's surname is Bai, not Gongyang!" Suddenly, Hua Qingcheng stopped crying and said coldly.
"Okay, okay, okay, it's Mr. Bai..." Seeing his daughter in a bad mood, Ye Maochun felt distressed and worried.
"Dad, I'm fine." Hua Qingcheng wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and then got up from the ground.
"Xiaobai, please send Grandpa back to Prince You's Mansion. Your mother and I have important matters to attend to."
As Hua Qingcheng finished speaking, Xiaobai immediately shook his head, "Awoo~Awoo~." (Xiaobai must stay by his mother's side.)
Just when Hua Qingcheng was about to scold Xiaobai, Tianji arrived with his men.
Hua Qingcheng glanced sideways at Tianji and said sternly, "General Tian, listen to my orders immediately. Arrange for a boat to search for Master Bai in the river. I want to see him alive or dead!"
"Yes, Your Highness." Tianji saluted Hua Qingcheng respectfully.
However, just as Tianji was about to turn and leave, Hua Qingcheng's voice rang out again, "General Tian, you failed to rescue in time and delayed the important matter. After completing the search mission, return to the barracks and collect twenty military sticks!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Tianji looked at Hua Qingcheng with a complicated expression. Knowing that his "aunt" was in a bad mood, he didn't say much and silently took the responsibility of delaying the military plan.
"Awoo~Awoo~" (Xiaobai turned back halfway and didn't inform Tianji. Mother, you blamed him wrongly this time...)
Xiaobai on the side tried to explain to Hua Qingcheng, but his tiger roar sounded like a noise to Hua Qingcheng.
"General Tian, General Tian...paying respects to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess!" Just then, a soldier came running over to report. Seeing Hua Qingcheng here, she hurriedly saluted Hua Qingcheng.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Hua Qingcheng's tone was extremely cold.
The soldier felt a shiver run through his body and then respectfully reported, "Replying...replying to Her Royal Highness, our men have captured Xia Houyu who was trying to sail south, and they've also found traces of Xia Houjing."
"Really? That's great! Bring Xia Houyu here to me!"
Hua Qingcheng swept her sharp gaze over the soldiers, as sharp and terrifying as a beast that had caught its prey, making the soldier who reported the news feel weak in the knees.
After a while, Xiahou Yu, who had already boarded the boat and was planning to escape south, was dragged here like a dead dog.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
…
Before the soldiers brought Xiahou Yu over, Hua Qingcheng couldn't wait to step forward and gave Xiahou Yu several powerful slaps.
"Pooh!"
Xiahou Yu turned his head and spat out the blood and the two teeth that were knocked out in his mouth, glaring at Hua Qingcheng hatefully.
"Nalan Qingcheng, are you crazy? Killing is not enough, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Now that my daughter has fallen into your hands, you can kill her or chop her up as you please. But, what is the meaning of humiliating me like this?"
"Haha, I humiliated you?" Hua Qingcheng laughed in anger. "You... you and Xiahou Jing actually dared to treat Master Bai like that. You deserve to die! A few slaps in the face are nothing. I wish I could tear you into pieces!"
As she spoke, Hua Qingcheng kicked Xiahou Yu, whose hands were tied, hard in the abdomen.
Xiahou Yu felt pain and immediately fell to his knees.
Seeing Hua Qingcheng standing up for Bai Yuheng, Xiahou Yu raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a sinister smile: "Nalan Qingcheng, you must say, that Gongyang Yuheng is indeed worthy of being the most handsome man in the Imperial College! Not only is he extraordinarily handsome, but... and he is also very comfortable to use! This princess and my mother have both tried it! Hahahaha..."
As Xia Houyu finished speaking, Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but recall Bai Yuheng's once elegant and graceful figure; and the last time she saw him, he looked so miserable, lonely and desolate, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world...
Hua Qingcheng's eyes became even colder. She raised her hand and slapped Xia Houyu in the face again.
"You damned bastard!" Hua Qingcheng cursed, "How dare you do this to Master Bai!"
Xia Houyu sneered and continued to provoke, "Why, are you jealous? Unfortunately, you will never see him again. He has fallen into the Yousi River and his body has been completely destroyed!"
Hua Qingcheng felt a sharp pain in her heart, but she suppressed her grief and shouted, "Come here, take Xia Houyu away and keep him under strict guard!"
The soldiers immediately took Xiahou Yu away, while Hua Qingcheng stood quietly there, her fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound, and a cruel light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If someone offends me, I will repay them tenfold. No one can bully Nalan Qingcheng without paying the price! Master Bai, I will definitely avenge you and make Xiahou Jing and her daughter pay for your blood debt with blood!"
Hua Qingcheng resisted the urge to cut Xiahou Yu into pieces and did not kill her immediately.
Because Hua Qingcheng planned to use Xia Houyu to lure Xia Houjing to her door. In order to avenge Bai Yuheng, Hua Qingcheng didn't care about being a gentleman or not. With the actions of Xia Houjing and her daughter, she was just retaliating!
