Chapter 218: Chapter 218 Commandery Princess, Please Forgive the Trembling Hands of Your Servant

At that moment, Li Chengyuan had no doubts that the person before her would kill her.

Having no choice, she shouted out loud.

"It was her!" Li Chengyuan pointed at Ayao, who had just regained consciousness on the ground.

Ayao was stunned for a moment.

Li Chengyuan did not give her any chance to speak and screamed, "It was she who did it!"

Xiao Pingfeng turned his head to look at Ayao, who looked panicked. She kept stepping backwards, "I... I didn’t mean to! She was already breathless then, I truly didn’t mean it!"

As soon as these words were uttered, a murderous intent instantaneously pervaded the room.

Ayao felt as though an invisible hand was already choking her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe.

In the next second, the man who had been crouching before Li Chengyuan had appeared in front of her.

Faster than him was the dagger.

It went straight through her chest.

Ayao’s eyes widened, she looked down at her chest that now bore a bloody hole, blood spilled from the corners of her mouth, and then her resentful gaze fell on Li Chengyuan, who was not looking back as she ran toward the door, "She..."

Ayao pointed towards the door.

Li Chengyuan, as if chased by evil spirits, ignored her wounds and madly dashed towards the door.

"Help! Someone is trying to kill me—help! Someone help—"

She pushed open the door and fell heavily into the courtyard.

With one eye blinded, she rolled down the steps twice, finally landing on the blue stone slab.

Xiao Pingfeng emotionlessly pulled the dagger from Ayao’s body and walked towards the door.

Li Chengyuan lay with her hands forward while Xiao Pingfeng followed closely behind, maintaining a neither far nor close distance.

The coldness emanating from his body was like that of a battleground.

When Xiao Hongshen and others stepped into the courtyard, this was the scene they saw.

"Stop!" Xiao Hongshen was the first to act, attacking Xiao Pingfeng.

Xiao Pingfeng dodged swiftly, his steps firm and unwavering as he moved towards Li Chengyuan on the ground.

Kill her!

His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"This sir!" Ji Yuntai quickly picked up a few stones from the ground and threw them at Xiao Pingfeng’s location.

In an instant, the courtyard in front of Xiao Pingfeng underwent a drastic change.

Seizing that moment of stupefaction, Xiao Hongshen successfully swept Li Chengyuan off the ground into his arms and moved to a safe place.

By the time Xiao Pingfeng emerged from the formation, he was already facing a host of soldiers.

"Assassinating Princess Yaochi is a capital offence, sir; you must be aware of that, shouldn’t you?" Ji Yuntai and Xiao Pingfeng locked eyes in midair.

At this moment, Xiao Pingfeng still wore Yizhi’s human skin mask: "Murder for life, the rules of the rivers and lakes."

Ji Yuntai marveled at the opponent’s destructive presence and wondered when such a person had appeared in Xiliang City.

He looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him before.

"Why waste words with him!" Xiao Hongshen coldly ordered the soldiers, "This man attempted to assassinate Princess Yaochi, take him down!"

The soldiers shouted in unison and began to close in on Xiao Pingfeng in the middle of the courtyard.

Xiao Pingfeng didn’t regard this group seriously; his gaze swung between Ji Yuntai and Li Chengyuan.

Out of these people, only the man in the wheelchair posed some challenge.

He pursed his lips and threw the dagger in his hand at Li Chengyuan without hesitation!

The dagger, powered with inner strength, shot towards Li Chengyuan, who was in Xiao Hongshen’s arms.

Li Chengyuan screamed out, "Your Highness, be careful!" She suddenly hugged Xiao Hongshen, exposing her back completely to the dagger.

Xiao Hongshen’s eyes widened with shock, but his hand moved faster than his heart, pulling a nearby soldier in front to shield himself as the dagger plunged straight into the soldier’s body.

Xiao Pingfeng, seeing this, felt his ferocity intensify.

He did not linger for battle.

He leaped onto the roof and, after a few jumps, vanished into the horizon.

In the sky, his voice, still carrying the power of his inner strength, lingered faintly.

"This woman, I must kill her! See how long you can protect her!"

Hearing such a threat, Xiao Hongshen’s face turned livid.

Li Chengyuan, who was in his arms, had long since fainted, her body covered in blood and fallen into his embrace.

"Summon the physician!" Xiao Hongshen roared toward Ji Yuntai.

...

Chang Qianhu pursued Xiao Pingfeng to the city gates, where, amidst the swirling sandstorm, he saw Xiao Pingfeng standing on a withered tree branch.

From a distance, his figure appeared stern and solitary, as if he merged with the heavens and the earth.

At that moment, Chang Qianhu felt as though he were standing on an ancient battlefield.

He couldn’t help but grip his long sword tightly, trying to gain a semblance of pathetic security from its blade.

"... Daring to assassinate the princess sealed by the Emperor himself, surrender immediately!" Chang Qianhu’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he shouted against the sandstorm.

Beneath the yellow sand, that man’s gaze finally fell on Chang Qianhu.

"Are you Yan Wanqing’s soldier?" Xiao Pingfeng asked.

Chang Qianhu frowned deeply, "Even if I am? I advise you to be sensible. Once General Yan returns, he will deal with you harshly!"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the man burst into laughter.

He laughed so hard that his entire body began to tremble.

At the same time, the oppressive aura around him grew even more dismal.

"You are her soldier, I won’t kill you, but go back and tell Xiao Hongshen that Li Chengyuan must die!"

Chang Qianhu couldn’t understand why the man’s malevolent aura was so intense; he only saw a gust of wind sweep across, and instinctively covered his mouth and nose with his hands.

When he opened his eyes again, the man had disappeared.

Chang Qianhu stepped forward with the sword in his hand, only to find nothing but bare withered branches.

He moved forward, poked it with his sword, and the withered branches instantly turned into powder.

Chang Qianhu’s expression changed repeatedly, and finally, he rushed back towards Xiliang City at full speed.

This man is not to be underestimated!

He must have significant backing; he needed to hurry back and discuss this matter with the City Lord.

...

Li Chengyuan had lost her child, was blinded in one eye, and her delicate hands had been injured, bound to leave scars in the future.

But not a single maid in the City Lord Residence sympathized with her.

In fact, no maid or manservant was willing to serve in her courtyard.

Even though the steward offered to double their salary, none of the maids were willing.

It was as if the courtyard housed not a person, but a man-eating demon.

This situation gave the steward an unbearable headache.

Eventually, with no other choice, Xiao Hongshen could only have Mo Shan look after Li Chengyuan.

But he didn’t know that there was already a long-standing grudge between these two people.

Inside the house.

Mo Shan was holding a basin of water, with a cloth hanging over it.

"Commandery Princess, wash your face."

Li Chengyuan, with bandages on her eyes and hands, was unable to touch water.

Seeing Mo Shan standing upright with the basin, she felt an unbearable frustration.

"Don’t you know to wet, wring, and hand it over to me?"

Li Chengyuan’s expression was angry, "I may have been tragically blinded and my status diminished, but I am still of noble birth, how dare you, a mere servant, try to trip me up?!"

As she spoke, she got up, intending to slap Mo Shan with her unharmed hand.

But unexpectedly, faster than her was the basin of water in Mo Shan’s hand.

An entire basin of water was poured down from above her head, drenching both her and the bed.

Li Chengyuan screamed, only to hear Mo Shan’s emotionless voice.

"My apologies, Commandery Princess, my hand slipped. Please punish me."
