A bright light flashed in the black pupils of the man in black. After a moment of pause, he raised the long sword in his hand and slashed at Xiao Tiange.
At this critical moment, there was a whoosh, and an arrow flew through the air. The man in black quickly ducked to the side. After looking at Xiao Tiange on the ground, he flew and disappeared into the vast moonlight.
"Pfft..." A mouthful of fishy sweetness spurted out from his throat. After holding it in for a long time, Xiao Tiange was finally unable to hold it back any longer.
"Catch the assassin, catch the assassin..." The royal guards in the palace, waving spears, swords, or bows and arrows in their hands, rushed from a short distance away.
As an afterthought, Xiao Tiange snorted coldly, her whole body went limp and she couldn't muster any strength. Youlan was so frightened that she had lost her soul for a long time, and besides shedding tears, she still shed tears.
"Princess...how are you? How are you? Don't scare me. I'm such a naughty little girl..."
"Don't worry, I'm not dead yet!" Xiao Tiange stretched out her hand to wipe away the blood on her mouth, gritted her teeth and stood up from the ground, and just after she stood firm, she saw a thin man not far away.
The figure quickly disappeared.
He shot the arrow just now, so who is he?
Xiao Tiange didn't have time to think about who the person who saved her was, but she only saw a cold and thin figure disappearing under the silver moonlight, with a hint of sadness in that figure.
As soon as he stood firm, there were all the imperial guards kneeling on the ground in front of him. The leader knelt on one knee with a look of fear on his face, and his voice was trembling to show how scared he was now.
"My rescue came too late, but I still hope that the princess will atone for her sins!"
Xiao Tiange looked coldly at the imperial guard who was kneeling on the ground. His face was expressionless, but he curled his lips and sneered:
"If I had waited for you to come to rescue me, I would have died more than once. I don't know what the purpose of you group of forest guards is here!"
The commander, who was already frightened, now had his head completely pressed against the ground. He didn't dare to look at Xiao Tiange at all. He didn't even dare to take a breath, and his whole body was trembling.
Xiao Tiange was not angry, and his innate domineering attitude completely intimidated him.
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die..."
"You deserve to die, but I don't want to break the killing ban because of you, a dog slave. You and I, you and your bunch of drunkards, get out of here. If this kind of thing happens again in the future, I will not take it easy!"
The commander nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, I accept the order!" Then he got up from the ground, at least three times faster than when he came, and disappeared in front of Xiao Tiange.
Xiao Tiange frowned. It was because of this kind of food bag that the assassin could come in openly to kill people. If he could come in once, he would naturally be able to come in a second time.
The area where she was kicked was burning like a fire. She had tried her best to support herself just now, but now she couldn't hold it anymore and she fell down on Youlan's body.
"Quickly, help me back to Wuyang Palace..."
The next day, rumors spread that the Sixth Princess was injured by an assassin in the Royal Garden, and Xiao Tiange did not go to class because of this incident, but was recuperating in Wuyang Palace.
Xiao Jingzhu and Murong Yi came over one after another to see Xiao Tiange's injury. Xiao Jingzhu was busy with official duties and could not accompany him for too long, so he had to deal with political affairs first.
But Murong Yi didn't have to be like this. He looked at Xiao Tiange, whose face was pale and bloodless, and tears of distress fell down drop by drop.
It made Xiao Tiange feel heartbroken. In fact, the imperial doctor had said that although the internal organs were injured, the injury was not serious. In addition, Xiao Tiange had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, so her physique was better than that of ordinary people, and she was still young.
, you can recover after a few days of rest.
But even so, Murong Yi still loved his daughter very much, and kept blaming himself in his heart. He should not have left her to go back so late, and he should not have sent her back in person. He had regretted it for an hour.
Xiao Tiange finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Father, my son is really fine. Even if you don't trust the imperial doctor, you still have to believe in my son!"
Murong Yi raised his eyes, his beautiful eyes were filled with crystal clear tears, and his long eyelashes were covered with crystal tears. His red lips were slightly parted, not to mention how attractive they were.
Xiao Tiange swallowed her saliva. After all, this father was her relative in this world. She also knew that his concern for her was definitely not an act.
She got up from the bed, threw herself into Murong Yi's arms, put her arms around his waist, smelled his unique smell, and said in a sweet voice:
"Father, just trust me for once, okay?"
She raised her head, her jade-like eyes wide open, and looked innocently at Murong Yi, who was very close at hand. Murong Yi lovingly reached out and touched her smooth and slightly chubby little face.
"Okay, I believe you, but Ge'er, my father really feels sorry for you, you are still so young..."
Before he finished speaking, tears fell from his beautiful eyes again.
Xiao Tiange acted like a child when she acted coquettishly in her father's arms. She hugged her father's waist and giggled, and kept rubbing her little face in her father's arms, which made her father extremely ticklish.
After sending Murong Yi away, the innocent smile on Xiao Tiange's face slowly faded. After what happened last night, she understood a truth. If she is not strong enough, she must have strong left and right hands.
As for herself, it was impossible for her to become invulnerable to all poisons in a short period of time, so there was only the second way to go.
She asked Youlan to choose a white gown for her, put it on, and then casually tied her hair into a simple and refreshing bun.
Looking at herself in the mirror, although she looks childish, she has begun to take on a beautiful appearance. She really has inherited the excellent genes of her parents and was born so beautiful.
However, under this childish appearance, there is a mature heart. Xiao Tiange curled her lips and smiled faintly in the mirror. The evil smile made Youlan standing aside take a breath.
Is this child standing in the mirror, smiling to herself, exuding an evil spirit, their princess?
Although she didn't know who the assassin who plotted against her last night was, she knew that she would find out soon, and the assassin would not come to assassinate her without any reason. As for the reason...
Xiao Tiange put away that smile and turned around. Born in the royal family, she was afraid that many things were out of her control. Although she always kept a low profile and never crossed the line, she was not a soft persimmon.
If the bullying really came to her, she didn't grow up a vegetarian.
She stepped out and walked out. Youlan came back to her senses and followed her in small steps, asking as she walked:
"Princess, you have not recovered from your serious injury. Where are you going? If the emperor and your noble lord find out, my life will definitely be in danger!"
"Youlan, do you know that if you continue to be nagging like an old lady, I will kill you right away?"
Xiao Tiange stopped and spoke casually, but Youlan felt the hairs on her back stand on end and immediately fell silent.
Xiao Tiange glanced at Youlan, smiled, and walked out. Youlan didn't dare to say a word anymore. She just kept her mouth closed along the way, not even daring to let out a fart, and followed Xiaotian silently.
