Chu Junyi pulled Shen Ninghua to her side and opened the folding fan in her hand with a 'shua' sound. With a wave of her hand, a ball of fire fell from the sky. She then took off her outer robe and threw it over Shen Ninghua's head. "Protect yourself well!"
After saying this, she stepped forward to pull the Fifth Prince back. Just as she took a step forward, she felt someone tug on her sleeve. Turning her head to look at Shen Ninghua who was tugging at her, she frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Ninghua's gaze was as calm as water, his pitch-black eyes were as deep as night, as though they could drown a person to death. His voice was as cold as ice as he replied, "Ignore him."
Chu Junyi frowned. "Do you know what you're talking about?" Although he didn't care much about the Fifth Prince in his heart, if something were to happen to him here, how would the imperial family be able to account for such a large amount of effort?
"Of course I know what I'm doing," Shen Ninghua said after some thought. "Chu Junyi, how about I give you a favor?"
"What did you say?" Chu Junyi frowned.
He twisted the handle of the hairpin, and a golden needle flashed with a dim light as it disappeared from his hands. Chu Junyi's eyes flashed, Shen Ninghua's movements were too fast, and if he hadn't observed it carefully just now, he would have missed out on her actions.
Seeing Shen Ninghua walk in the direction of Hundred Miles Jin Ze, Chu Junyi pulled him back. "What are you trying to do?"
"Kill!" Shen Ninghua's tone was solemn, and it carried an icy killing intent. It actually made Chu Junyi feel an ice-cold aura. Stunned, he unconsciously loosened his fingers. When she came back to her senses, Shen Ninghua had already been pushed away by the crowd and wanted to pull her back.
Baili Jinze was in the midst of dodging the surrounding crowd in a sorry state. From time to time, he would be particularly annoyed when he was stepped on. Amongst the princes, his mother's status was the lowest. Although she had safely given birth to him, she had also injured his body during pregnancy, causing him to be slightly weaker. Since the Second Prince was able to lead the troops to fight, he naturally had extraordinary skills. At this moment, he was skillfully avoiding the crowd. Seeing Baili Jinze's sorry state, his eyes flashed with ridicule.
Baili Jinze searched everywhere for the guards, but didn't find a single person. As he was feeling anxious, he suddenly felt a warmth in front of him. Lowering his head, he met Shen Ninghua's watery eyes.
"Miss Shen?"
Shen Ninghua's face turned red, "Fifth Prince, please forgive me, I …" As he spoke, he tried to get up but was pushed aside by the people behind him. His expression became increasingly awkward.
Baili Jinze's heart skipped a beat, and he reached out his hand to pull her sleeve to protect her while she dodged backwards. As the situation was too hasty, he did not even feel the slight prick of pain on his arm. "Don't be afraid, Miss Shen. There will definitely be guards coming over later."
Shen Ninghua seemed to have been scared silly. She followed behind Baili Jinze in a daze, not expecting a fireball to suddenly fall from the sky. The crowd pushed and shoved, knocking away the hand of Baili Jinze who was holding onto Shen Ninghua.
Baili Jinze felt that his hands were empty. When he pushed away the surrounding people in annoyance, looking for Shen Ninghua again, he found that she had already disappeared.
At this moment, the cyan sparrow and Hong Ling, who were standing beside Shen Ninghua, had already rushed over.
Seeing that Shen Ninghua was fine, the cyan sparrow heaved a sigh of relief, "Miss, are you alright?"
"Nothing." Shen Ninghua frowned and asked, "Did you see Shen Lingghan?" She had been feeling strange since the day she had eaten. It would be strange if she didn't stir up some trouble now.
"I didn't find Second Miss." Hong Ling frowned.
"Don't worry about her for now. Bluebird, let's go to Huan Hua Creek." It was best for Shen Linghan to behave herself, otherwise, she would settle the score with her.
Baili Jinze frowned tightly. He felt that the people around him started to hurt more and more when they bumped into him. In the end, when he was stepped on, he actually felt as if he was cut by someone, causing him to cry out in pain.
When the Second Prince, Baili JinChuan, heard his voice, he immediately looked over and then opened his eyes wide. Baili Jinze had only been lightly hit by a single person, and didn't even have any strength left at first glance. However, he seemed to be in so much pain that he actually let out a loud cry and jumped into the Huan Flower Creek behind him.
Resisting the urge to smile, Baili JinChuan pushed aside the surrounding people with a gentle force, "This crowd of people is not completely boring at all." After thinking about it, she turned her head and didn't look at him again. Huan Hua was very shallow, so no matter what, he wouldn't drown. Let his fifth brother go and take a breather.
The cyan sparrow and Hong Ling stood protectively around Shen Ninghua, protecting her completely. Seeing that she was well protected, Chu Junyi's frown didn't even leave her face. The next moment, she was struck by a thought.
Looking at the splashing water, Shen Ninghua's lips curled up. He realized that someone had stepped on Baili Jinze's back, causing him to not move for a long time. He then turned around and walked out of the crowd.
Chu Junyi frowned and followed him. It took her a while to get to a place where there were fewer people. "Is this the huge gift you've given me?"
Shen Ninghua tidied up her clothes and turned around to look at the crowded crowd. With a calm tone, he said, "Young Master Chu, there's no need to worry. "Don't worry, you just need this gift."
"Do you know what you're doing?" The murder of a prince was a great crime. Although this matter was used as a cover, no one would benefit from the royal family's investigation. Besides, how could she know what she wanted?
"I've never liked to suffer losses. This time, I'm just asking for a bit of interest." The lanterns in the sky gradually descended, but the panic of the crowd did not dissipate. Still, push me and you together. Seeing that it was about time, Shen Ninghua ordered, "Bluebird, release him."
"Yes, miss."
The blue sparrow took out a firework and three fireballs rose into the air.
"You've arranged for someone?" Chu Junyi frowned. "We'd better not get involved if we can't turn the tide at this point. Otherwise we won't get any benefits from this."
Shen Ninghua raised an eyebrow, "I've heard that the Xiao family has always been very decisive in their actions. Young Master Chu, the more danger we face, the more fortunate we will encounter. If we don't lend a hand now, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"You …" Chu Junyi was about to retort when she met Shen Ninghua's eyes. There was no trace of panic or anxiousness in those black eyes, only a bright smile. The anxiety in her heart settled down, and she mocked herself as she began to think more and more about how she couldn't even compare to a girl. Since he couldn't escape his responsibility at this time, he might as well give it his all!
"I will immediately find someone to protect the Second and Fifth Prince." Shen Ninghua had a smile on his face. He hadn't seen the wrong person, but Chu Junyi was definitely different. He might be able to become his friend in the future after repaying the favor he had given him last time.
After less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of galloping horses came from the surroundings.
"The imperial guards are here to protect the second and fifth princes. Everyone else, quickly disperse!"
Chu Junyi was a little surprised. "The imperial guards arrived quickly, aren't they afraid of trouble?" After saying that, his tone paused. He couldn't help but look at Shen Ninghua in astonishment. "These people shouldn't be brought here by you, right?"
"Why not? If something were to happen in the capital, it would naturally be the imperial guards. "
Chu Junyi was amused. The imperial guards were supposed to be protecting the capital, but when something happened in the capital, they were the last ones to arrive. The Prefecture Overseer's specialty was to shirk responsibility.
As soon as the soldiers arrived, it took them quite a while to evacuate the civilians. The governor of the capital came down from his horse, rolled and crawled in front of Baili JinChuan, and cried loudly, "Your Highness, your servant came late. Fortunately, Your Highness is fine, otherwise, it would not be enough for me to die."
"Sir Sun came at such a timely time and even saved me. How could I blame you?" Baili JinChuan glanced at Baili Jinze, who had been lying on the shore for a long time without getting up, and said in a good mood. In any case, he wasn't injured, so why did he have to offend an official?
The Prefecture Overseer of the capital quickly waved his hand, "No, no, it's all thanks to Young Master Chu's messenger that I managed to get here in time." Fortunately we have Young Master Chu's help, if not we would need more time to split up the citizens. "
Baili Jin paused for a moment. Chu Junyi?
Chu Junyi's expression was humble. "No, I just did what I had to do. Anyone else would've done their best to protect the two princes."
"Fifth brother …"
Just as Baili Jin opened his mouth, a loud scream came out from the Residence of Jing Wei, "Fifth Prince... "Aiya, why are you in the water? Hurry up and get up, why are you still standing there like idiots? Hurry up and help the Fifth Prince up."
The two soldiers quickly and carefully moved to the left and right to help Baili Jinze. However, they didn't expect their fingers to touch him. They heard Baili Jinze cry out in pain, "It hurts, let go of me."
The two officers and soldiers immediately stopped. Baili Jin, who had just stood up halfway, fell back into the water with a "peng" sound. Baili JinChuan and the others were completely dumbfounded.
"Fifth brother, what's wrong? There's nothing to wait for in the water. Hurry up and get up." "Faster!"
Baili JinChuan bent down to help him, and pushed the cup away, "Don't touch me!"
Baili JinChuan's expression changed, he waved his sleeve and said, "Since Fifth Brother doesn't want to get up, then let's just stay in the water for a while."
Baili Jinze felt as if his whole body was being cut by knives, as long as his skin was touched by someone, it would be extremely painful. He knew that at this time, what he had to do was endure, but no matter what, he couldn't control himself. It was so painful that his body felt like it was about to split open.
Chu Junyi looked at Shen Ninghua and raised an eyebrow. "Is this the gift you've given me?" she asked silently.
Shen Ninghua replied, "This gift isn't big enough?"
Chu Junyi felt helpless. This gift was so big that it was shocking. But how did Shen Ninghua manage to mobilize the Prefecture Overseer of Beijing City Guards?
It seemed like this girl still had many secrets on her body.
