Chapter 128 What is this person doing?
Yun Qingqing held on to the saddle tightly while trying to calm the giant elephant.
However, the scene was too chaotic and the giant elephant had gone mad, so comforting it was completely ineffective.
“Ahhhh…” The Seventh Princess was so scared that she couldn’t stop screaming, her voice was filled with tears, “Ahhh, why don’t you just let go! Otherwise, ahhh, we’re both going to fall down ahhh…”
"Stop yelling!" Yun Qingqing's head was buzzing, unable to think, and she shouted back, "Do you want to be the first princess in history to be trampled into a meat pie by a pet?"
The Seventh Princess was silent for a moment.
"I don't want to, ah ah, but after you said that I feel like vomiting. I don't want to be stepped on into a meat patty..." She screamed even more miserably.
Yun Qingqing didn't have time to pay attention to her. She flexed her arms and lifted the Seventh Princess up alive, shouting:
"hold me!"
Without her saying anything, the Seventh Princess instinctively used her hands and feet to hang on to her like a bear.
Yun Qingqing finally freed up one hand, and quickly drew a golden talisman in the air with her fingertips, and pushed it towards the giant elephant.
The talisman disappeared into the dark gray skin of the giant elephant.
After a moment, its body finally stiffened and slowly fell down.
Unfortunately, it fell in the direction of the two people and was about to crush them underneath.
Yun Qingqing gritted her teeth, adjusted her posture, and kicked the elephant hard. At the same time, she let go and fell to the ground in a parabola while holding the Seventh Princess.
Ever since she took the Youyan Yujing Talisman and was reborn, her physical strength has become stronger as her spiritual power grows, and she is no longer comparable to ordinary people.
She was prepared to land on her back, maybe get a minor injury, but it wasn't a big deal.
Suddenly, a piece of silk cloth appeared from the side and entangled the two of them. Yun Qingqing felt that she was being pulled over by a huge force, and then she was caught by a soft cushion.
Someone sighed heavily beside my ear.
Even through the silk cloth that tied her up like a dumpling, she could feel the deafening heartbeat of the person behind her.
There was also a strong smell of blood that penetrated into the nose.
Only then did Yun Qingqing notice that the bodies of the black-clad assassins and guards were scattered all around, and the fight was over.
She turned around and saw Xiao Changheng's bloodstained and fierce face.
Their eyes met, Xiao Changheng's brows were twisted into a knot, and he said nothing.
"Um..." A muffled voice suddenly sounded in Yun Qingqing's chest, "Can you let me out now?"
Yun Qingqing: “…”
Just now, the Seventh Princess was hanging on her, a little low.
As a result, when she was wrapped in the silk cloth, her entire head was wrapped against her chest.
She also recognized the silk cloth; it was the decoration on the chariot used by Jing State to welcome distinguished guests.
The veins on Xiao Changheng's forehead tensed inexplicably, and he shook his hand, shaking both of them out of the silk cloth.
He held Yun Qingqing up, but the Seventh Princess was not so lucky and fell to the ground.
"Ouch!" The Seventh Princess rubbed her buttocks and her legs felt weak. Her eyes were red and there were traces of water on her face.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Yun Qingqing. She pouted and got up and pounced on her:
"Wow wow wow wow, this is so scary! I'm scared to death..."
Xiao Changheng's eyelids jumped, and he stretched out his long arms to hold Yun Qingqing horizontally on his legs. He pushed the wheelchair with one hand and changed the direction.
"Princess, how are you? Are you hurt? Are you feeling unwell? I'll call a doctor right away!"
"......?" The Seventh Princess missed her target and turned around to stare at the back of a certain prince with wide eyes. Her expression gradually changed from surviving a disaster to anger.
However, after hearing what Xiao Changheng said, she became frightened again, bit her lip and followed him.
"Why is she here? Check to see if she's hurt!"
"Don't worry, Seventh Princess. I will take good care of you." Xiao Changheng glanced at her indifferently.
The Seventh Princess shuddered and subconsciously took a half step back, pouting again:
"What's so terrible about it? The palace has the best imperial physicians. Do you know where to find a doctor?"
"Put me down!" Yun Qingqing frowned as she looked at the blood on Xiao Changheng's face and body. "I'm fine. Why don't you take a quick look at where you're injured when you have time to worry about me?"
Xiao Changheng said quietly:
"This prince is not injured, that is someone else's blood."
Yun Qingqing saw that he had no intention of letting go of her at all. She was speechless for a moment and decided to reason with him:
"Hey! You're covered in so much other people's blood, and it's all over me. Put me down quickly, and your face is all stained, it's time to wipe it off."
Xiao Changheng: ...
In the end, he let Yun Qingqing go because Nan Zheng and the city defense officers had already counted the casualties and came to report.
Some of the assassins in black escaped, but the rest who could not escape committed suicide by taking poison, leaving no one alive.
"Who is the one who tried to assassinate me? Do you have any clues?" Xiao Changheng said coldly.
"There are some..." The city defender hesitated and did not continue.
Nan Zheng glared at him and said:
"Your Highness, we discovered some patterns on the assassin's weapon. I've already asked around, and they're the insignia of the Jing Kingdom's royal family!"
The city defender broke out in a cold sweat:
"Those markings are indeed from the royal family, but that doesn't mean we're convicted of this. Perhaps someone deliberately framed us."
Nan Zheng snorted coldly:
"That could also be because your royal family is not so united, and some people cannot bear to see Jingguo ally with Daliang."
The city guard was in the wrong and did not dare to argue, but the Seventh Princess was furious:
"If there really is someone within the royal family who does such a thing, this princess will have my father punish them severely!"
She turned around and took Yun Qingqing's hand:
"Your name is Qingqing, right? Don't worry about the alliance. This princess is a man of her words and will definitely make the emperor agree to your request!"
"Let's go to the palace now. I want to tell my father how you saved me!"
Yun Qingqing smiled slightly:
"Then I'll have to trouble the Seventh Princess."
"Oh, there's no need to be so formal with me. My name is Situ Qinglan. You can just call me Qinglan like my friends!" The Seventh Princess said enthusiastically.
"Okay, Qinglan."
Yun Qingqing nodded, and the Seventh Princess became even happier.
But Yun Qingqing felt a cold gaze from the side. She turned around and saw a prince who had just wiped his face with a towel and was looking at her coldly.
she:……
What's wrong with this guy?
"Uh... Your Highness the Regent, I have sent someone to report the assassination to His Majesty. You can first go to the Honglu Temple to rest for a while and change clothes before entering the palace." The city guard suggested, looking at the prince who was covered in blood and looked like a god of death.
Putting aside the question of whether it looks good or not, what if the emperor is startled by entering the palace covered in blood?
"Why do you want to change?" Xiao Changheng curled his lips coldly, "I will enter the palace like this!"
"Ah? This..." The city defender was stunned and felt so worried that he was chewing his teeth.
Xiao Changheng didn't care what he thought at all, and brought a group of people into the palace to meet the emperor with murderous intent.
