Chapter 177
“Assassin... Assassin, there are assassins, come catch the assassins!” No one knows who shouted this, but the appearance of Su Wuduan startled everyone for a bit before they came back to their senses. They backed away hurriedly. They were afraid that it would bring disaster to the fishes in the pond.
Ji Miaoyan quickly got up and stood in front of Yun Shan. Xizeyan hesitated for a moment before he got up and followed. He also stood in front of Yun Shan, watching the two people who fell into a ball below.
Yun Shan watched the movements of the two and a thought passed through her eyes. “Don’t, don’t... don’t get me wrong, this is really just a misunderstanding! I’m not an assassin!” As soon as Su Wuduan raised his head, he was pointed at by a group of swords, spears, and halberds. He hurriedly laughed and raised his hand to surrender.
At the same time, he cast an extremely resentful accusatory look towards Cui Er: Wife, you actually tried to murder your husband with your mistress!
The two culprits turned their heads calmly. They acted as if they didn’t even know the man who was thrown out by them to block the knife.
“...” Cui Er, Xiao Shangshu, if you are so irresponsible, Senior Brother is going to cry!
Xia Yuqing glanced at her Senior Brother sympathetically, she silently drew a cross in her heart. Senior brother, if you don’t go to h*ll, who would go to h*ll? Rest in peace, amen... Then she turned her head very unscrupulously and talked to the two pretending not to know someone.
“...” You are ruthless!
“Fu Er, are you okay?” Lan Yingran aimed at this opportunity to take a step forward. He helped Yan Tingfang get out of the danger zone first.
“Is Ms. Lan okay?” Yun Shan turned her head worriedly when she heard his voice and asked in a low voice.
Although Yan Tingfang was unwilling, she knew that she had missed the best opportunity. She had to pretend to be frightened and shook her head tremblingly. She retreated behind Lan Yingran.
Lan Yingran took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly suggested: “Princess, Fu Er was already a little uncomfortable and she was frightened just now, so this minister is hoping that the princess would allow her to go back to rest first.”
Although Yun Shan still wanted to match Miss Lan, the daughter of Yingran, with Ji Miaoyan, this situation was indeed not very suitable. She nodded: “Miss Lan was frightened just now, so go back and rest. Ben Gong will bring gifts to visit one’s house another day to make amends to Miss Lan.”
“Why aren’t you guys rushing to take the person back?” Shao Zitang and the others were looking at the sky and pretending to be stupid when they heard a stern voice. They couldn’t help being taken aback. As soon as they turned their heads, they saw Feng Tingye’s torch-like eyes.
After a few people were taken aback, Shao Zitang took the lead. He took a step forward, and grabbed Yan Tingfang’s hand, “Master, Nu Cai will send the young lady back.”
When Lan Yingran saw Shao Zitang appear, he was slightly relieved and said in a deep voice. “Take good care of Miss.”
“Yes.”
Shao Zitang helped Yan Tingfang walk past Ji Miaoyan. Even if he changed his face, Ji Miaoyan still seemed to be able to feel something a little strange. His eyes remained on Shao Zitang for a few seconds, but fortunately, nothing happened.
Yan Tingfang was dragged away by Shao Zitang and everyone’s attention was turned back to Su Wuduan, who was still squatting on the ground not knowing how to get out. Fortunately, he wore dark clothes today. Coupled with the cover of the night, the dagger that Yan Tingfang stabbed on his butt was not noticed by others. But as time continues on, it will not be good.
“Who are you and why are you here? Do you want to assassinate Her Royal Highness? Tell the truth, otherwise...” Seeing that everyone’s attention was focused on the “assassin” who has become a turtle in the urn, Xizeyan took a step forward and asked loudly.
“This is really just a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. I’m really not an assassin. I just... just...” Su Wuduan’s erratic eyes flashed to the princess behind Xi Zeyan.” In fact, I...I can’t help feeling love for the princess, so I couldn’t help it...”
“Pu...” Xia Yuqing widened her eyes, staring at Su Wuduan not far away with a look of disbelief. Oh Senior brother, you are really unrelenting. You dare to show yourself fawning over other women in front of our family’s Cui Er? Isn’t that not wanting to live?!
If Su Wuduan knew what Xia Yuqing was thinking at the moment, he would squeeze her neck in a frantic manner and scream: Who is responsible for Lao Zi’s present appearance? The reason why I did this was because it is a makeshift strategy. He didn’t want to be hacked to death by someone while a dagger was stuck in his butt. It’s so d*mn shameful!
“What?” After hearing Su Wuduan’s answer, the original noisy courtyard fell into a suspicious silence, then there was an earth-shattering roar.
Su Wuduan was shocked a little bit. He reached out his hand and scratched his ears. He glanced at the man who was more stimulated than the person involved.
“Why are you yelling in front of so many people?” Yun Shan seemed to feel that Xizeyan’s move was too gaffe. She frowned, and gave a low shout.
Xizeyan’s face turned pale. He lowered his head unwillingly; “This minister was rude, please forgive my sins, but this person...”
Xizeyan gave Su Wuduan a vicious look, his eyes full of vigilance and viciousness.
Over the past few years, rushing around in the south, east and northwest, Su Wuduan can be regarded as very experienced in reading people. Now seeing Xizeyan like this, he could clearly guess the relationship between the two in his heart. He curled his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips curled up. He showed a wicked smile before Yunshan convicted him of death and said with eloquence: “Princess, this citizen heard that the princess of Shu Kingdom is graceful and feminine, and is capable of being the downfall of countries, the best beauty under the sky. Were it not for you being low-key and unwilling to compete with your juniors for the limelight, the throne of the world’s number one beauty would have been set aside for you. This lowly person didn’t believe it before, but seeing it today, I knew... the rumors outside were pure nonsense. .”
“How dare you! Are you saying that Her Royal Highness is not as beautiful as the outside rumors? Come here... take this officer...” Xize Yan immediately became triggered when he heard Su Wuduan’s words. Waving his hand, he wanted the people on the side to take him away.
“Hey hey...what’s the matter with you, uncle? Why are you talking when I am speaking to the princess? This is the princess mansion, why are you giving out the orders here? And, I haven’t finished my words yet. You are too anxious, you’re not listening to everything. Are you afraid...”
“You...”
“Master Xi, withdraw.”
“Your Royal Highness!” Xizeyan turned his head to look at the princess with a face of disbelief. There were already some dangerous warnings in her eyes. He snorted unwillingly and silently retreated.
“Hey, why does the atmosphere between them seem a little weird?” Xia Yuqing noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between them, and asked with some suspicion.
Why does she feel like her elder brother and Xi Da Ren seemed to be staging a drama of two men fighting for one woman? The most important thing was that this woman was...the princess?!
Hearing Xia Yuqing’s question, the people on the side couldn’t help being a little bit amused. Feng Tingye stretched out and took Xia Yuqing’s hand, holding it tightly. When Xia Yuqing recovered, she wanted to shake it away. Xia Yuqing couldn’t shake it off for a while, so she turned her head awkwardly and snorted coldly.
Feng Tingye laughed: “Isn’t Ai Fei usually sensitive to these kinds of things? Why are you so dull now?”
“These kinds of things?” Xia Yuqing was startled, then thought of those things in her mind. A ray of light flashed. Her mouth opened slightly, turning into an O shape again in surprise, “Could it be...that the relationship between Lord Xi and the princess is...that kind of relationship?”
No one answered, but everyone’s expression on the side fully answered Xia Yuqing’s question.
“...” Shoot, she actually saw the legendary prostitute! Heh heh, okay, although it’s not the male-to-male love that she wanted, but... sure enough, there are still such things as gigolos in this world! Those fantasies she had before...
Xia Yuqing stared at Xizeyan with twinkling eyes. After a while, she realized later that it sounds like the private life of this eldest princess is really... In that case, then is it true that the reason for her being so bitter and having an enmity against Ye Country was that it was because she was rejected and felt that she had lost face?
Xia Yuqing was fighting between heaven and earth to sort out the relationship between Xi Da Ren and the princess, while the princess started to look squarely at the man who suddenly appeared at her night banquet.
After yelling at Xizeyan to withdraw, Yun Shan took the initiative to take a step forward. Looking from a distance at Su Wuduan, who was suppressed by the sword and unable to move, her eyebrows were raised: “You just said that you haven’t finished. Ben Gong is also a little curious, what else do you have to say?”
Su Wuduan smiled, “This commoner just said that the rumors outside are pure nonsense. But this commoner didn’t mean to offend the princess at all. This commoner meant that those outside rumors don’t cover the qualities of the eldest princess at all. How can those vulgar fans on the outside truly describe the eldest princess? That is an insult to the eldest princess! The princess’s appearance and temperament is rare and one of a kind. It is like a lotus flower that is silt and not stained. Pure, clean and enchanting, it is something you can only look at from a distance. A fairy that should stay in the heavens overlooking the joys and sorrows of the human world, instead of appearing in the human world and causing the whole city to admire the magnificent scenery.”
Su Wuduan’s mouth that has been exercised by hanging around in the brothel for a long period of time wasn’t really for nothing. The sweet talk that came out caused everyone on the side to be stunned.
“Oh... sorry, let me lean on you a bit.” Xia Yuqing couldn’t help but lean on Feng Tingye’s shoulder, making an expression of vomiting. When her Senior Brother said such sweet words, it really made people...feel overwhelmed! Especially Senior Brother, did you forget that you still have a knife stuck in your *ss? !
At the front, he was full of literary talent and sweet words spoken in a personable manner, while at the back, a knife was pierced on his butt. This picture is too beautiful!
Feng Tingye stretched out his hand and patted Xia Yuqing’s back: “Ai Fei, are you... pregnant again.”
“...” You are pregnant, your whole family is pregnant! You are getting worse and worse, Ultra Seme Lord!
Yun Shan seemed to be stunned by Su Wuduan’s compliment. After all, there is no woman who did not like others praising them for being beautiful.
“This Gong Zi praises Ben Gong so highly, but... to Ben Gong...”
“!” It’s over, he just thought about saving his life, so he habitually talked sweetly, hoping to win the favor of the other party so she would let him go. But he didn’t expect... This eldest princess is also a character who plays cards in an unreasonable way. What should he do now? ! His wife is still watching. If he answers, the road to chasing his wife would go back to the starting point, but if he doesn’t answer, his life will be over!
He twitched. Su Wuduan realized that he had dealt another bad hand, so he braced himself to bite the bullet: “Princess forgive me, this commoner has no intention of offending. Just seeing the princess as a heavenly person for the first time, my heart trembles, and I was stimulated...
“In that case, Gong Zi has really revealed his true feelings. It is really rare for someone to be as outspoken as Gong Zi nowadays. If Gong Zi does not mind, how about staying in Ben Gong’s palace in the future? Ben Gong will not treat you badly... ”
“Your Highness!” Once Yun Shan’s words came out, the presence of all were surprised, especially Xi Zeyan. He widened his eyes and looked at Yun Shan,”Your Highness, this unknown person, really...”
“Xi Da Ren, what the Gong Zi said just now is correct. The person who can speak and make decisions is Ben Gong, not the people on the side.”
Yun Shan’s words were no different to slamming Xi Zeyan’s head on the ground. The warning was self-evident. Xi Zeyan’s face changed and he didn’t dare to say a word.
“!” Xia Yuqing was also stunned by this sudden turn.
Shoot, what kind of turn of events is this? ! Senior Brother, you big stallion, at this time, you are still interested in having an appointment with the ultimate boss?? I bow down to you!
If Senior Brother knew what Xia Yuqing was thinking at the moment, he would definitely shout: “I am being wronged! I really have nothing to do with her... I have no interest. Not to mention, I already have a wife and I need to keep my body pure. Even if there is no wife, I am not interested in an old women, even if this old woman looks more beautiful than a young woman! “
An appointment or not an appointment, that is the problem!
Just when he was unable to advance or retreat, Cui Er coughed slightly and reminded the two masters who were enjoying the show: “Your Majesty, Niang Niang, let’s find a way to save Master Su. If it goes on like this, the dagger behind Master Su won’t be hidden anymore.”
Cui Er’s words made the two awaken from their dream. Feng Tingye narrowed his eyes and glanced at the tight guard on all sides. His eyes sank: “There are so many eyes and ears all around, a mixture of fishes and dragons (crooks mixed with honest folks), it’s almost impossible for us to get the person out without being aware of the dagger. This is especially the case since there should be a pool of blood under Su Wuduan’s body now. It’s not discovered yet because his clothes blocked the view, but once he leaves that position, he’ll be found out.”
Xia Yuqing listened to Feng Tingye’s words. She tilted her head, pondered for a moment, then a small light bulb in her head lit up with a tinkling sound.
“Yes, I have a way. Cui Er, do you have a handkerchief on your body?”
“Yes, but what is Niang Niang going to do?”
“Just leave it to me.” Xia Yuqing anxiously took the handkerchief from Cui Er, then turned her head to look at Feng Tingye, and smiled. That smile made Feng Tingye instinctively feel a chill behind him. He reached out to grab Xia Yuqing, but it was too late.
“Oh, Jiejie, why did you run over there?” Xia Yuqing screamed and flew out.
Everyone on the side was taken aback by her scream. They hurriedly went to the side, wanting to see which official lady in the crowd was the elder sister in the room? As a result......
Everyone looked at the young man rushing out and pressing down Su Wuduan who was still squatting on the ground and couldn’t get up.
“Oh...” Her poor Senior Brother was pressed down by Xia Yuqing and the dagger that had been pierced deep in his butt was now pierced even further. This almost made him pass out on the spot.
“...” Ai Fei (Niang Niang), you seem to have thrown yourself down on the wrong side. You are pressing down on the side with the knife.
“Oh, Jiejie, what’s the matter with you? I’ve told you before, don’t run around when your period comes. See you are weak now and you made yourself bloody. Tsk tsk, be good, follow me back. Let’s go back and rest first. Fortunately, all the officials who came here today are official ladies. If any official sons came, how can you see any people in the future, who would dare to marry you?” Seeing Su Wuduan’s face become white, she hurriedly reached out and patted his shoulder.
“You...”
“I know, I know, I know you ran out secretly after being stuck at home for so long. Don’t worry, I won’t tell your uncle about this.” Xia Yuqing acted like a good sister and gave Su Wuduan another slap.
“...” Little Junior Sister, I was going to ask you, can you get off me first? You pressed me down so hard that the dagger almost pierced through me. Please let me go!
“This Gong Zi, you said he was...” Yun Shan looked at the person who flew out in front of her. Her eyes shivered and she pointed at Su Wuduan who was still sitting on the ground and asked in a low voice.
“Ah... Your Royal Highness, the Princess!” Xia Yuqing pretended to have just discovered Yun Shan. She looked at the questioning person in surprise, “Oh, your Royal Highness, please forgive our sins, please forgive our sins, my sister here... ...”
Xia Yuqing pointed with her head, with a subtle expression on her face: “There is a little problem with her. I wasn’t paying attention before and accidentally allowed her to rush out like this, I hope your Royal Highness can please forgive her this time.”
“Small problem? Xiao Gong Zi, are you sure this... is your sister? Why does she look like a man? Does Gong Zi think that Ben Gong can’t even tell whether a person is a man or a woman?? ”
” ...... ” You called me Gong Zi too! Is it not clear whether I am a man or a woman? ! Xia Yuqing murmured secretly in her heart, but she didn’t show it at all.
Looking up at Yun Shan, she sighed slightly: “The princess doesn’t know, but this commoner’s sister’s mentality has always been off...”
“You are off...” Su Wuduan’s eyes glared fiercely, wanting to explain. But when Xia Yuqing slapped him hard, his butt became sore. The expression on his face turned blue to white, then white to blue. Finally, he suppressed his shout.
Xia Yuqing rushed on and continued: “My sister has always been a little bit off with her sanity, one of which is that she likes to think of herself as a man. Not to hide it from your highness, my father and mother because of my sister’s madness has hired well known doctors from all over the world but... all the doctors said that my sister is crazy and demented. Because she is a bit crazy, usually, my parents and elders keep my sister in the house.”
Xia Yuqing wandered around with her big eyes and glanced at Yun Shan. A very evil thought flashed in her mind as she continued: “I heard that the princess was hosting a night banquet here today and had invited officials from the court and their daughters of the right age. My sister loves lively events and ran out of the house when she heard the news. Our uncle who just happened to live here also felt that this was an opportunity for my sister to come and see Ji Gongzi of the Kingdom of Shu. The appearance of Ji Gongzi is heavenly, so maybe older sister will be able to heal without medicine when she sees Ji Gongzi.”
“...” This little Gong Zi, why don’t you say that Ji Gongzi is a miracle medicine? Being able to heal someone without medicine, do you think you are acting in a mythical drama?
On one hand Xia Yuqing was entertaining Yun Shan and the others, while at the same time, she twisted Su Wuduan’s thigh with her hands. She motioned him with her eyes: Senior Brother, why aren’t you cooperating with me? If you don’t, you will get it when we go back!
Looking at Xia Yuqing’s threatening eyes, Su Wuduan felt his butt hurt even more... Suffering from the pain on his thigh, Su Wuduan raised his head towards Ji Miaoyan with an idiotic expression and a shy face: “Master Ji...”
“...”
Xia Yuqing clearly saw Ji Miaoyan was affected for a whole moment. Her heart darkened. Humph, look at the little general, you dare to go climb the wall on my Xiao Shang Shu, I hope this disturbs you to death.
“Oh, my Jiejie is sick. Your lord, my Jiejie has become delirious again. I have to take her home and ask the doctor for medical treatment. I will leave first. If my Jiejie has offended your Highness in any way, this lowly one believes that your Highness will be magnanimous and stomach this. Surely, Your Highness will definitely not mind my sister, a fool...right?”
In short, the eldest princess shouldn’t take what my Jiejie said seriously, after all, she is a fool. The words of hers were not credible at all!
Xia Yuqing raised a simple and harmless smile, which made people unable to refuse. Yet when she wanted to reach out and help Su Wuduan...
“Wait, this is really your sister? Ben gong doesn’t think so. Ben Gong has never seen a girl with such a big adam’s apple in my life. If you have to say that she is your sister, you might as well show some evidence, otherwise... I don’t mind asking a few guards.... to check her body.”
You’re ruthless! Xia Yuqing turned her head and stared at Su Wuduan’s big adam’s apple stubbornly. Su Wuduan shivered in fear that Xia Yuqing would cut out his adam’s apple on impulse.
Xia Yuqing pursed her lips and sighed softly, this woman forced me to use this killer move! Xia Yuqing turned her head and smiled at Yun Shan and said with a smile: “The eldest princess, as for the verification of the body, my sister is still the eldest daughter and is pure. If you want evidence, yes, of course I can give you something. Your Royal Highness hasn’t seen a woman with an Adam’s apple, then has the eldest princess ever seen a man who has their period? Look, what is this?”
Xia Yuqing raised the handkerchief that she had just brought from Cui Er, the plain white handkerchief. It was flushed with blood from Su Wuduan’s wound, it was quite shocking to take out.
“Blood, blood, blood... come, assassin, assassin!” The officials on the side saw the blood-stained handkerchief in Xia Yuqing’s hand, and their faces changed.
The knives, swords and halberds that were moved away were moved back to Xia Yuqing’s body. Xia Yuqing’s hands trembled with fright, even the handkerchief fell to the ground.
“What’s the matter, what’s the matter? Where is the assassin? Oh, this blood? This is because of her period, why are you so nervous?”
“Period?” Yun Shan twisted her eyebrows slightly and asked in a low voice.
Xia Yuqing was stunned. Then she remembered an ancient person might not know what a period is, so of course she didn’t understand. She coughed softly: “Period is when a girl bleeds every month. Menstrual affairs... That, hey, you know. It’s really embarrassing to let me, a good young man who has not yet married a wife, to speak about this. To force me to say this, how will my sister get married in the future? Alas...”
“...” For a moment, there was silence in the courtyard. For a long time it was like this, until there was an awkward cough from nowhere. Then the coughs began to ring one after another in the courtyard. The face of the princess was a little embarrassed.
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Xia Yuqing was busy taking advantage of the embarrassment of everyone and asked gently: “Now the princess believes me? Can we go now?”
Xia Yuqing regarded everyone’s silence as tacit consent, and helped Su Wuduan up.
As she was ready to flee, how would she know... something would happen again.
“Hold on!”
The princess’s low halt made Xia Yuqing pause. She froze and turned her head and smiled lightly: “What’s the matter, Eldest princess?”
Yun Shan stared at Xia Yuqing’s cute little face. A fascinating smile appeared on the corners of her face: “Your sister can go, but you have to stay.”
“...What?!”
