The villain is ruthless

Chapter 601 Don't Take Your Highness (Twenty)

Xiao Ting's complexion changed drastically, as if he didn't expect the assassin to mention the queen, his face was full of anger.

"You want to slander the prince? You don't have the ability yet."

The assassin laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Slandering you? It's ridiculous! I know exactly what kind of person you are, Xiao Ting, if you dare to cross the river and tear down the bridge, you should have thought that today would happen."

"You!" Xiao Ting regained his composure in an instant, "You'd better let the princess go! Otherwise, you won't be able to get out alive."

The Clinker Assassin is not afraid of him at all, "I dare to arrest people, but I don't want to live."

Zhuang Yuelan turned pale with fright when she heard the words, "Let me go, let me go!"

She didn't want to die, not at all!

"Save me! Xiao Ting, save me!"

"Shut up!" Seeing her struggling, the assassin turned his head and was about to stab the dagger into her throat. As soon as he raised his hand, he was stabbed in the shoulder by a sharp sword that came out of nowhere.

"Ah!" The assassin yelled, he let go of Zhuang Yuelan by reflex, and was caught by the hidden guards beside Xiao Ting in a blink of an eye.

Zhuang Yuelan hurriedly threw herself into Xiao Ting's arms, finally felt safe, and cried deeply.

The sudden catastrophe made her realize that her situation was not safe. Even if her husband was the prince, he sometimes couldn't protect her.

Zhuang Yuelan was full of fear, tightly pulling Xiao Ting's skirt, trembling all over.

Xiao Ting patted her on the back lovingly, "It's all right."

"Throw people into the dungeon." He turned around and ordered the hidden guard without hesitation.

The dark guard was about to take the assassin away, but was bitten by a snake that came out of nowhere, and the dark guard screamed in pain, and passed out immediately.

The assassin's eyes were red, he was obviously mad, he looked at Xiao Ting with hatred, and was about to rush over, but was surrounded by several guards.

"Kill him!" Seeing that the assassin was out of control, Xiao Ting's eyes darkened, and he stared at him coldly, as if looking at a dead object.

"Xiao Ting!" Seeing that he couldn't survive, the assassin had determination in his eyes, and he went all out, "You think you can cover up what you did by catching me? Let me tell you, it's a dream! Your plan will not succeed, and you will fight for it." You pay for what you did! I'm waiting for that day!"

After all, the assassin gritted his teeth and disappeared in front of everyone in a blink of an eye. At the same time, countless snakes and insects landed on the board of the boat. This is the usual method of the Nanyue Gu clan. Worm snake, let the formed snake worm avenge itself.

The sudden Gu worms frightened the noble ladies on the boat, they regretted their mistakes and avoided the Gu worms from getting into their bodies, and left under the cover of the maids.

Even so, many people were still bitten by Gu insects, or even parasitized by Gu insects.

Xiao Ting angrily cut off the Gu snake crawling towards him, looked at the scene in front of him with a full face of anger, wishing to tear the assassin's body to pieces.

Qixi Festival was obviously the season that noble ladies were looking forward to, but now it has become a night of death reminders. After this incident, his life in court will only be more difficult.

The noble ladies parasitized by Gu insects will also become a big obstacle for him.

Whenever Xiao Ting thought of this, his head ached.

He had no choice but to let go of Zhuang Yuelan in his arms and clean up the things on the boat himself.

Zhuang Yuelan stood alone on the spot, her eyes touched the wriggling red snake under her feet, she had never seen such a scary scene before, she felt numb all over, she yelled and fled to the boat below.

After Xiao Ting came back to his senses after cleaning up the mess, Zhuang Yuelan was huddled in a corner and trembling all over, apparently quite frightened.

He frowned and walked towards her, only to see her red eyes, like a frightened little rabbit.

Xiao Ting's heart softened, and he raised his hand to hug her, "It's okay."

"...No," Zhuang Yuelan pretended to be calm, "I want to go home."

Seeing that she was fine, Xiao Ting relaxed, "I'll send someone to take you back first."

Zhuang Yuelan panicked, "Aren't you going back with me?"

"I want to go to the palace to see my father." Xiao Ting lowered his eyes, with a deep cold look in his eyes, "I am afraid that such a big thing happened, my father already knows about it, and I want to give him an explanation."

Zhuang Yuelan heard that she didn't want him to go, she was very scared and wanted him to stay by her side.

When the words came to her lips, she couldn't speak them again.

She knew Xiao Ting's ambition, his goal was not only in Dazhou, but also in every corner of the mainland.

He will never be like the hero in an idol drama, giving up everything he has for the one he loves.

Similarly, Xiao Ting, who is not ambitious, is not the one she likes.

"Okay," Zhuang Yuelan held back the disappointment in her heart, and forced a smile, "Go quickly, pay attention to safety on the road, I will wait for you at...home."

Xiao Ting felt hot when he heard the words, and put her next to the maidservant, "Go back and make a pot of ginger soup for the princess, to get rid of the cold."

The maid hurriedly responded, and gave Zhuang Yuelan a very envious look.

After Xiao Ting left, Zhuang Yuelan's shoulders that had been supporting her finally softened. Looking at the direction Xiao Ting left, she had a premonition in her heart that such an accident would not be the first time, this was just the beginning.

It is easy for Xiao Ting to take the road of the emperor, but he needs to pay the same price to satisfy all his ambitions.

The people on the big boat left quickly, and the noisy atmosphere quieted down, only the remaining lights illuminated.

Jiang Zhu turned his head to look at the little prince, and found that the little prince's face was as usual, except that his eyes were much darker than usual.

Realizing that Jiang Zhu was looking at him, the little prince turned his head and smiled at her, looking unaffected, "Sister, what's wrong?"

"Nothing," Jiang Zhu shook his head.

The little prince didn't speak any more, his eyes fell on the water surface dyed red by the lights, and he didn't even look at the boat.

His expression made Jiang Zhu vaguely think that he might know what the assassin said.

The meaning of the assassin is obvious, that is, the queen's death has something to do with Nanyue, and it has a lot to do with it. Among them, the noble concubine and Xiao Ting should be the ones making the deal.

Unexpectedly, eight years after the Queen's death, Xiao Ting killed the donkey, forcing Nan Yue to jump over the wall in a hurry.

If there were other secrets behind what happened back then, then the queen would be everyone's target.

It's a pity that even if Xiao Ting became the crown prince, the noble concubine in the palace never made any progress, and was firmly suppressed by the empress.

"It's getting cold, let's go back." The little prince stood up and told the boatman to come to the shore.

Not far away, Zhuang Yuelan had already got into the carriage, only Jiang Xin's faint voice was left, as if telling what happened just now.

After returning to the house, Jiang Zhu boiled brown sugar ginger water, and the two fell asleep after drinking it.

The next day, rumors of the Crown Princess' encounter with assassins at the Tanabata Banquet spread throughout the capital.

Many people speculated that the crown prince got into trouble, and the tricks used by the assassins were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

What's more, the affected ones are noble girls, including a delicate princess. It is almost impossible for the prince to settle this matter.

At the same time, the court was also thrown into chaos, and the ministers complained to the emperor, accusing Xiao Ting of what he had done, and asked the emperor to give them an explanation.
