Several commoners appeared in the alley. Seeing so many corpses, they screamed and turned to run. Yun Shang hurriedly said, "Please don't go. I'm Princess Hui Guo, and these men tried to assassinate me. Thanks to this hero, I was saved. Please help me notify the authorities. My legs are weak, and I cannot walk."
The commoners stopped when they heard the Princess's explanation and turned around. They saw that Yun Shang's eyes were full of tears. Her face looked pale as if she were about to faint at any moment. As expected, Yun Shang forced a smile before falling to the ground like she couldn't stand anymore.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Qian Yin shouted and dashed towards her. She held Yun Shang in her arms. She said to the hesitant people, "Be quick to notify the authorities. You'll be well rewarded."
After hearing the maid, the commoners rushed outside. Qian Yin turned around and looked at the man in red who still couldn't believe what had happened. She thought for a while and decided to trust him since the Princess didn't hurt him. She yelled at him, "Hey, come and help us take the Princess back to Xiping Princess Palace."
The man was even more surprised than before. "Your master was so unkind to me that I was on the edge of fury. Now you, a little girl, dare to yell at me too?"
"Will you help us or not? Your Highness is..." Qian Yin stopped as she felt the Princess move. The maid stared at Wang Jinhuan while he seemed to think about her request. The man seemed frustrated. He thought about how Prince Jing behaved when he mentioned Princess Hui Guo. Now if he went against the Princess, he would undoubtedly face the Prince's wrath.
Wang Jinhuan couldn't help but look at the sky and silently curse himself. 'You asked for it. You saw Princess Yun Shang kill someone and your curiosity led you to follow her. And then you saw what you shouldn't have seen. You should have stopped there, but you didn't. You called her to show off. You deserve it, really.'
"Fine..." Wang Jinhuan sighed. He jumped down from the roof and lifted Princess Yun Shang in his arms. Then he headed towards Xiping Princess Palace.
A servant standing at the
ervant showed the physician out, the Governor of the Imperial City said, "Your Highness, there has been a murder in Luoying Lane in the city today. A number of men in black have died. According to the people who reported this, the men in black had tried to assassinate Princess Hui Guo. That's why we are here to ask for more details."
Hua Jing frowned. "Princess Hui Guo has not yet awakened from her shock, but you can ask her maids. They always follow her. Oh and speak with this mister as well. He is the son of the Minister of Defense and War. It was he who saved the Princess."
The Governor nodded and turned to the people Hua Jing mentioned. "Let's start with the maids. Tell me what happened."
Qian Yin and Qin Yi looked at each other. Qian Yin stepped forward and said, "I'll tell you. Earlier today, Princess Hui Guo wanted to go shopping. She said she hadn't walked in the Imperial City for many years, and she wanted to see what had changed. We followed her around the streets as she shopped. Then, Her Highness thought about the upcoming banquet at Princess Hua Jing's Palace and desired new clothes. She found a clothing store and stepped in to get a dress tailored. After we came out, she continued to wander around for a while. Somehow we took a wrong turn and walked into that alley. The Princess was talking about finding a restaurant to have lunch when a dozen men in black suddenly showed up. They were threatening Her Highness..."
