"Tell your wolf to release my sister! Although you are the Crown Princess, you can't just kill the Prime Minister's daughter as you please!"
Ye Qingxue's gaze fell on Ning Xun's face.
His mind was still replaying what General Lan had said earlier: Ning Xun was leading men to guard the city gates tonight, not allowing anyone to enter or leave. This was enough to show that these assassins tonight were all arranged by the Ning family.
Ye Qingxue's gaze slid from Ning Xun's face to Ning Rong's face.
Ning Rong is still showing up at the city gate so late at night, she must be here to see how she dies.
Ye Qingxue suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen.
Zhuang Xin was finally pulled up, and when the firelight shone on him, Ye Qingxue discovered that his body was covered with wounds, even on his head.
He must have been trying to protect her when he fell, and the hole in his head from the sharp rocks was still bleeding profusely, making his face look even paler, as if he were dead.
"Didn't you hear my elder brother, Crown Princess? Let me go!" Ning Rong was both panicked and furious. "Your pet wolf kidnapped me for no reason. Even if this matter reaches the Emperor, you are still in the wrong. If you don't want to be blamed by the Emperor, I advise you—"
Ning Rong's voice stopped abruptly.
As Ye Qingxue walked up to her, her chilling eyes fixed on her like a demon, Ning Rong suddenly shivered.
The next moment, Ye Qingxue grabbed her collar, and Ning Rong's legs went weak, almost falling onto Ye Qingxue.
"What do you want to do! Let go of my sister!" Ning Xun rushed forward, trying to rescue Ning Rong, but saw Ye Qingxue raising a dagger.
He suddenly stopped, not daring to go any further, and swallowed hard.
Ye Qingxue's dagger slashed a deep X across Ning Rong's face. Ning Rong screamed in agony, her body trembling uncontrollably, her face covered in blood.
"I never show mercy to my enemies!" Ye Qingxue's voice was cold. "But you should be glad you're pregnant, otherwise I wouldn't have just scratched your face!"
She was accumulating merit for the baby in her womb.
She felt abdominal pain and tightness in her stomach. She was actually terrified, as if keeping Ning Rong's child would also allow her to keep her own child. Therefore, she did not kill Ning Rong.
She let go of Ning Rong.
Ning Rong screamed and screamed, completely collapsing: "Ye Qingxue, you dare to disfigure me! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!!"
General Lan immediately ordered his men to detain her, forbidding her from getting any closer to Ye Qingxue.
Seeing his sister being hurt like this, Ning Xun disregarded everything else and charged directly at Ye Qingxue with his long sword in hand. Ye Qingxue kicked the arrow at her feet high, caught it, and threw it fiercely at Ning Xun.
It struck Ning Xun squarely in the knee, causing his legs to buckle and him to kneel on the ground.
But that wasn't the end. Ye Qingxue, like a demon, came up to him, kicked him to the ground, and stepped on his knee, grinding it down hard.
The Ning family's guards rushed forward quickly, but they were too late.
"Ah, my leg—" Ning Xun's screams echoed through the valley, and the cold sweat flowing from his body was more than the blood.
General Lan took a deep breath; it looked painful.
Ye Qingxue looked at General Lan, and only then did General Lan notice that Ye Qingxue's face was completely bloodless.
But he still heard Ye Qingxue say, "General Lan, these assassins are really arrogant. Not only did they try to take my life, but they also harmed the Ning siblings! When you get to Father Emperor, you must ask him to thoroughly investigate who arranged these assassins. They deserve to die!"
General Lan was taken aback for a moment, but quickly understood.
Ning Xun was absolutely furious: "My people all witnessed how you broke my leg and how you disfigured my sister. How can you still deny it?"
Ye Qingxue said, "Can your people testify? That's great! My people and General Lan's people can also testify that these assassins who are chasing me were all sent by your Ning family!"
Ning Xun's heart skipped a beat. Yes, how could his own people testify? If his people could testify about Ye Qingxue's evil deeds, then Ye Qingxue's people could also "testify" about the evil deeds of their Ning family!
Damn it, it's one thing if I can't kill Ye Qingxue.
Was he supposed to just swallow his anger and suffer in silence, his leg broken and his sister disfigured? He refused to accept it!
"Your Highness, this humble general knows how to speak!" General Lan replied obediently.
Granny Xing came running from afar with Uncle Yong, calling out, "Qingxue, Qingxue..."
Upon hearing that familiar, concerned voice, Ye Qingxue could no longer hold on and fainted.
