Chapter 149: The Lame Princess vs. the Blind Hostage Prince Consort (26)
A temporary rest area in the hunting ground.
Because Yuan Ting had not arrived yet, all the officials and their wives were chatting idly.
Lu Cha ate the osmanthus cake fed by Luo Jinshuang with great satisfaction.
It feels so good not to have to do it myself.
"Your Highness, Concubine Lan's sudden attention to you may be a premeditated act. You should be careful."
Seeing Luo Jinshuang feeding Chu Jinghong a piece of cake, Lu Cha blinked:
"Is your relationship so good?"
A rare blush appeared on Luo Jinshuang's cheeks: "Jing Hong and I confirmed our relationship a few days ago."
“?!”
Lu Cha was stunned.
My little heroine, was she taken advantage of?!
[The second male lead is always by the female lead's side, caring for her tenderly and considerately, and naturally they will fall in love with her over time.]
【You've been guarding me in vain, hahaha.】
Just as the system had stabbed Lu Cha in the heart, Chu Jinghong bowed and then stabbed him again:
"Your Highness is also our matchmaker. We will definitely invite you to preside over our wedding in the future."
“…”
Draw your sword, rival!
Coincidentally, at this moment, Lingying brought Xun Ji who was in the tent over.
Lu Cha couldn't really kill Chu Jinghong, so she grabbed Xun Ji's sleeve and whimpered: "My Huahua is gone~"
They even asked me to deliver the flower pots! Too much!
Looking at the little girl with a pouting mouth, glancing resentfully at the wretched-looking servant, Xun Ji frowned slightly.
Was she bullied?
A teasing voice suddenly sounded:
"It was rumored that Princess Yuanchang looked like a demon, extremely ugly. But seeing her today, she is clearly delicate and lovely."
The man in military uniform who came over was tall and strong, with thick eyebrows, eagle eyes and deep facial features. He was the crown prince of Xiliang Kingdom - Xi Hanfeng.
Xi Hanfeng glanced at Xun Ji vaguely, then his gaze returned to Lu Cha, and he said directly:
"We're currently in need of a Crown Princess. How about marrying the eldest princess? It would help promote diplomatic relations between our two countries."
What?
The villain's partner is trying to poach someone?
Lu Cha instead held Xun Ji's hand, taking the opportunity to avenge the beauty's flight, and said seriously:
"My consort is jealous and petty, always ready to cry, make a scene, or even hang himself. Please, Crown Prince Xiliang, don't joke with me."
Xun Ji lowered his head timidly and said nothing.
The peach blossom eyes behind the ribbon were staring at Xi Hanfeng.
The sharp cold light flashing in it was like a cold warning from a wild beast.
Xi Hanfeng was completely unaware and said meaningfully, "The eldest princess does love her husband."
At this time, Yuan Ting came riding a fine horse, with a false smile: "What are Prince Xiliang and Anping talking about? What makes them look so happy?"
"Just some homely things."
Yuan Ting didn't believe Xi Hanfeng's words at all, but due to his status, he couldn't ask any more questions. He turned around and looked down at Lu Cha in the wheelchair, pretending to be kind:
"Does Anping want to join the hunt?"
"Prince Consort Xun has difficulty with his eyesight. I can find a strong guard to carry you on his back."
Once this matter gets out, Yuanlu Tea's restored reputation will surely fall to the bottom again.
Lu Cha smiled and asked, "Royal brother, your dragon body is not in good condition. Riding a horse all the time will make things worse, won't it?"
Come on! Let’s hurt each other!
Yuan Ting's face darkened.
He noticed that Xi Hanfeng's eyes looking at him became subtle. He couldn't help but tighten the reins, suppressing his anger and avoiding Lu Cha's questions, and shouted loudly:
"I declare! The hunt begins!"
Lu Cha is disgusted.
That’s it?
Luo Jinshuang, a participant, asked before leaving: "Is there anything your Highness wants? Jinshuang will call you back."
Lu Cha was excited: "Rabbit!"
She wants to eat meat.
Luo Jinshuang nodded in agreement and left with Chu Jinghong.
Not long.
In the rest area, more than half of the people were missing, and those who remained were all the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.
Lu Cha rested his chin on his elbow and looked expectantly at the mountains and forests in the distance.
The eager look on his face was like a greedy cat waiting for dried fish.
Xun Ji's eyes dimmed slightly: "Your Highness, do you like rabbits very much?"
"So furry and cute." Lu Cha licked her lips and was about to say that braised food was the best, when whoosh——
A sharp arrow shot from the side.
Lu Cha quickly turned the wheelchair around and pulled Xun Ji away.
Several assassins in black and masked faces jumped out from all directions, each holding a cold sword.
"kill!"
"There's an assassin! Protect the princess and the adults!" The guards stationed at the hunting ground immediately drew their swords and fought.
The rest area suddenly became chaotic.
Because Yuan Ting went into the mountains and forests and took away many guards, there were not many people left here.
Several assassins took advantage of the opportunity and flew towards Lu Cha: "You evil woman, die!"
Bang——!
The long black whip danced like a snake, tightly wrapped around the neck of an assassin, and threw him far away to the ground.
Lingying also drew the soft sword from her waist: "Your Highness! Take the Prince Consort away quickly! These people are coming for you!"
Lu Cha ignored him, retracted the blood-stained whip, and his almond-shaped eyes were so bright that he could not hide his excitement.
Oh no!
You can kill people openly!
Lu Cha was so excited that she was about to stand up to satisfy her desire, but unexpectedly a group of men in black arrived and quickly and efficiently dealt with the assassin in front of her.
There was no chance for Lu Cha to expose himself.
Which bastard stole my head? ! ! !
The system's thoughtful answer: [The ones next to you, these are his secret guards.]
“…”
Lu Cha was silent, his fingers feeling a little itchy.
Otherwise, just kill the villain.
But at this moment, the assassins saw that the situation was not favorable to them, so they turned and shot arrows.
One of them went straight to Xun Ji's eyes, accompanied by the assassin's cold shout:
"Go to hell, bastard!"
Xun Ji froze instantly and clenched the stone between his fingertips.
Everything before his eyes was rapidly reversing, forcibly tearing him back to that nightmarish childhood.
He was maliciously tied to a rough tree trunk and became a target for the princes to practice archery.
"Hahaha! Look! This bastard is so scared that he bit his lip!"
"You lowly thing! How dare you stare?! Bring me a bow!"
The young princes struggled to pull the longbows one after another, and the sharp arrows either fell to the ground or scratched his skin.
Or, pierce the corner of the eye.
The surging and hot blood instantly filled his eyes, madly dyeing the world into a sticky red.
Almost, I fell into endless darkness forever,
But those evil and twisted faces, and the rampant laughter and scolding of "bastard", have been hiding in the deepest part of his heart since then, like a ghost demanding his life.
Day and night, he shook the mourning stick that made his blood run cold.
Xun Ji's body was shaking violently and uncontrollably, and the scars at the corners of his eyes seemed to turn into blazing flames, burning his flesh and bones.
The resentment that grew in his chest surged and destroyed his soul, and even swept away his heart that had suddenly shrunk due to fear.
Just destroy this world.
Kill them all.
Every person, every living being...
Xun Ji laughed softly, and when he was about to go crazy, he was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace.
That sharp arrow had already fallen to the ground.
Lu Cha gently rubbed Xun Ji's head and let him rest his chin on his shoulder:
"Don't be afraid, it's safe."
A soft voice suddenly rang beside my ears.
It is like a gentle yet strong spring breeze, forcefully dispersing the depression and leaving only the warmth that symbolizes vitality.
Xun Ji tilted his head in a daze, and through the ribbon, he could only see the woman's fair cheeks and her slightly raised red lips.
Completely different from the desperate dark red, it is bright, like the scorching sun.
Want...more.
Whether it melts his flesh and blood or burns his soul.
Xun Ji greedily grabbed Lu Cha's sleeve.
He wants it.
[Ding—Villain’s favorability +20, Darkness -20.]
Lu Cha found that Xun Ji was rubbing his neck like a dog, which was obviously abnormal, so he decisively chopped him unconscious with a knife.
By the way, he pinched the soft flesh on Xun Ji's face.
Sure enough, the little villain is the cutest when he is half dead~
-
Inside the curtain.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders around, Lu Cha easily carried the unconscious Xun Ji to the bed.
"Your Highness, the remaining assassins have been dealt with by the guards. The mysterious men in black have already left. They must be friendly forces."
Speaking of this, Lingying frowned and couldn't help but guess:
"Could today's assassination be arranged by the Emperor?"
"After all, the assassin appeared not long after the Emperor left."
"You'll know after trying it." Lu Cha smiled slyly and rolled up his sleeves: "Go get some white cloth and some medicine for wounds."
"Tell me, I'm injured."
Let the fool behind the scenes be happy too~
Lingying nodded in agreement, not noticing that the incense burner she had placed on the table to drive away the smell was still emitting wisps of smoke after such a long time.
