"Witch." Murong Zhi pointed his sword at Chen Qing and spat out two words in a cold voice.
"Witch?" Chen Qing laughed. "People always try to smear and embellish areas they can't touch, to cover up their ignorance."
Murong Zhi knew that Shen Qing had a mouth that could deceive people, so he didn't say much to her.
"Today, I will eliminate the harm for the people." Murong Zhi raised his sword and attacked Chen Qing.
Chen Qing's body was flexible and adaptable, and she moved freely between Murong Zhi's attacks. The hairpin in her hand would occasionally stab at tricky angles, forcing Murong Zhi to be careful and on guard.
Murong Zhi's swordsmanship was fierce, and each move contained great power, trying to use force to defeat cleverness. His sword force was like a violent storm, continuous and uninterrupted, not giving Shen Qing any chance to breathe.
For a moment, the only sounds in the alley were the clanging of swords and the heavy breathing of the two men.
Murong Zhi's all-out attack was so powerful that even though Shen Qing managed to block it, her hairpin shattered and her arm went numb. She took a few steps back. She panted slightly, but a smile remained on her face.
"That's great, Your Highness. Do you want to kill me right away? Or do you want to take me back and torture me slowly?"
Murong Zhi suppressed the chaotic internal energy in his body. The fishy and sweet taste rising from his throat made him unable to speak.
"Your Highness, are you keeping silent because you're afraid of being bewitched by me?"
"Don't be afraid. You are already a child of destiny. If it weren't for the useless guards around you, how could you have ended up like this?"
"It doesn't feel good to be controlled by a little girl like me, right?"
"Have you ever wondered if you hadn't sent people to massacre the people in Qingshan Temple, would you not be in this situation now?"
"The two right-hand men I was so proud of have lost their arms, and the position of Crown Prince can only be maintained through marriage."
"Really, it's a bit embarrassing..."
Murong Zhi spat out a mouthful of blood, he covered his chest and glared at Shen Qing.
"Shut up..."
"Did I get it right?" Chen Qing folded his hands in front of him and looked at Murong Zhi with a smile, "Do you want to kill me?"
Murong Zhi raised his sword and jumped up, rushing towards Shen Qing.
She didn't meet his attack as Murong Zhi had expected, but instead tapped her toes and quickly retreated using her Qinggong. Her movements were as light as the wind, and she seemed to have no intention of resisting. She also generously exposed her body, making her his unguarded target.
Murong Zhi thrust the sword straight at her. Just as the sword was about to touch her, he clearly saw her smile turn into fear, and her originally calm expression was replaced by panic.
Murong Zhi's heart trembled, and he secretly said "Oh no!", then he realized that he had fallen into a trap.
However, it was too late. His sword had already flown like an arrow, unable to be retrieved. With a thud, the sword pierced her shoulder, its powerful impact sending her crashing to the ground. Her body slammed to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust, and her clothes instantly stained red with blood.
The crowd around them panicked and dodged, then surrounded the two of them.
Murong Zhi widened his eyes. He never expected that he would fall into her trap like this.
"Your Highness, please spare my life!" Shen Qing spat out a mouthful of blood and pleaded with the slightly panicked Murong Zhi. "I will not stand in your way again!"
"Prince!"
"Oh my god, the man committing violence in the street is the prince!"
“It’s totally illegal!”
"Last time he was reported to have behaved improperly, and now he's killing someone in the street. Is such a person worthy of being the crown prince?"
If such a prince becomes emperor in the future, wouldn’t he be a tyrant?
Murong Zhi listened to the discussion of the crowd, then looked at the pitiful Shen Qing lying on the ground, his mind working rapidly.
“Chen Qing?!”
Jiang Zhuo quickly pushed through the crowd and ran over to help Shen Qing up, the worry in his eyes almost drowning her.
"Lord Jiang, save me!" Shen Qing raised his hand and grabbed the collar of Jiang Zhuo's shirt, looking at him pleadingly.
Jiang Zhuo understood almost instantly that she was acting. No matter what she did, he just had to cooperate.
"Your Highness, even if you dislike the princess, you absolutely cannot lynch her in the street! In this bright and clear world, under the feet of the Emperor, how can you be so reckless and disregard human life?
As the crown prince, you should set an example and abide by the rules of propriety, not be so tyrannical and unjust! As an official appointed by the court, I have the responsibility of monitoring you. Tomorrow morning, I will report you and seek justice for the princess. Let His Majesty and the entire court judge this matter!"
Shocking! The prince disregarded the law and wanted to kill people to vent his anger. Lord Jiang denounced him in the street for his disregard for human life.
"solitary……"
"Lord Jiang, it hurts so much..." She just wanted to make it impossible for Murong Zhi to explain to the people!
Jiang Zhuo immediately picked up Shen Qing and took her to the clinic.
Only then did Murong Zhi feel a sharp pain in his temple.
"Your Highness!" Rong Xuan chased over and supported Murong Zhi. "Are you okay, Your Highness?"
"Go back to the East Palace first."
Jiang Zhuo held Shen Qing and ran quickly towards the clinic. He glanced at Shen Qing in his arms from time to time.
"Don't worry, I'm fine..."
"Don't talk."
Shen Qing simply stopped talking and just leaned quietly in his arms, like a tired fox.
She closed her eyes slightly, nuzzled his clothes, and sniffed his unique scent, a mixture of light pine scent and a man's unique scent that made her feel particularly at ease.
If it could always be like this, maybe it would be nice.
"Doctor! Doctor!"
"What's wrong, Mr. Jiang?" An old man with a long beard ran out.
