The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Chapter 274 Swearing Revenge

The assassin in black reacted swiftly, drawing a short knife from his waist and holding it to Murong Qingyun's neck. "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill her."

Murong Qingyun was so frightened that she couldn't speak coherently. Even in such a critical moment, her first thought was that Murong Peifeng was alright.

"Fine, we won't come over, just let her go!" Murong Peifeng was a little flustered for the first time.

The assassin's tone was fierce, "We'll release her if you can clear a path for us to leave!"

"Your Highness!" Gao An was somewhat reluctant, after all, keeping these people around was ultimately a hidden danger.

Seeing this, the assassin's knife moved even closer to Murong Qingyun's neck. Murong Qingyun trembled with fear and said in a trembling voice, "Big brother..."

Seeing the tense situation, Murong Peifeng said coldly, "Release them!" and then stepped aside to make way.

Murong Qingyun was dragged towards the door by the assassins, and a group of masked men in black kept retreating. Just then, another arrow came from the shadows and pierced the throat of the leader of the assassins.

Murong Peifeng quickly pulled Murong Qingyun behind him, and the assassin fell to the ground in pain. The two groups immediately resumed their fight.

Before long, the assassins were all killed, and corpses littered the ground.

Murong Qingyun had never seen anything like this before and fainted in Murong Peifeng's arms.

"Gao An, take the Fourth Miss back to her room. The rest of you, clean up the body!"

"Your Highness." At this moment, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was Teng Hui, who was holding a bow in his hand. Clearly, the arrow he had just shot was the one he had fired.

“I recognize the martial arts style of the newcomer. He is one of Qi Zhi’s capable subordinates. It seems that Qi Zhi already knows your identity.”

Murong Peifeng's face was grim. He had met Qi Zhi several times, but he didn't know when he had been exposed.

"He has finally found me. Now, what does Teng Xiang think we should do?" Murong Peifeng asked Teng Hui, turning to him.

The wind and snow continued unabated, much like their predicament.

"Qi Zhi sent people here this time to eliminate the threat completely. We can't wait any longer; we must strike first."

"What Prime Minister Teng said is exactly what I was thinking," Murong Peifeng said through gritted teeth.

His eyes turned red instantly, and he said angrily, "Qi Zhi, your mother killed my mother that day, and now you want to harm me. I swear I will not be a man if I do not avenge this!"

Almost instantly, an idea came to him.

The wind and snow outside were getting heavier and heavier. Seeing Murong Peifeng like this, Teng Hui couldn't bear it. "Young Master, let's go inside first."

Fate has played a cruel trick on him. He was supposed to be a prince of a country, loved by his parents, and destined to inherit the throne. But now his father has passed away, his mother has died, and he is forced to wander in a foreign land. This child is destined to suffer a great deal.

……

royal palace.

The roads were slippery due to the snow, and the sedan chair moved very slowly. Jing Anle closed her eyes to rest when she suddenly heard Mu Ping whisper outside the sedan chair, "Princess, there are people ahead."

"Huh?" Jing Anle suddenly opened her eyes. "Who is it?"

"It's Miss Zhao and Mrs. Zhao."

Jing Anle lifted the sedan chair and saw Zhao Yayi and Madam Zhao standing outside. They were wearing satin goose feather cloaks and their makeup and attire were exquisite. They were indeed much more presentable than when they first met.

"See Your Highness the Princess!"

Jing Anle nodded and said, "No need for formalities. It's chilly tonight. Madam Zhao, Miss Zhao, why are you waiting here?"

"Your Highness, my wife and I have come to express our gratitude for the imperial physician's treatment," said Madam Zhao.

Zhao Yayi chimed in, "The imperial physicians in the palace are indeed highly skilled; Mother has fully recovered."

Jing Anle knew that they had been stationed at the border for many years and lacked medical care, which made her feel a little sad. Moreover, they had waited here for so long just to thank her, which warmed Jing Anle's heart. She smiled and said, "Madam Zhao is too kind. I was deeply moved when Miss Zhao risked her life to protect me that day. There is no need to worry about my small contribution."

"However, Miss Zhao's outfit today is truly beautiful, it really catches my eye," Jing Anle said, changing the subject.

Zhao Yayi was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Jing Anle to say such a thing, and her cheeks flushed. "Your Highness is too kind."

Jing An smiled warmly, "If Miss Zhao has time, she can come to the palace to play anytime, so I can have a companion."

"If Your Highness will not abandon me, I will obey your command!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.
