Chapter 466: The Wicked Would Always Complain First
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Princess Ni Yang stood up and said sternly.
“The Prince Consort actually has designs on Niaoniao? Why didn’t you say so earlier? Go find them!”
When the guests noticed that Princess Ni Yang was about to leave, they all stopped talking and looked at her in unison.
What was happening now?
Princess Ni Yang was not in the mood to care about the guests’ thoughts. She hurried out, her long skirt dragging across the ground.
Yan Nanguan and Wei Liao followed closely behind.
Just as they reached the door, more than a dozen guests suddenly rushed out!
“Demon woman, hand over your life!”
They pulled out the swords hidden in their clothes and stabbed toward Princess Ni Yang with ferocious expressions!
This change was too sudden. Before Princess Ni Yang could call for help, the assassin’s sword was already in front of her.
Fortunately, Yan Nanguan and Wei Liao reacted quickly.
Yan Nanguan pulled Princess Ni Yang behind him. Wei Liao pulled out the dual blades on his waist and blocked.
The weapons collided with a crisp sound.
Only then did the guests present react. They were immediately frightened out of their wits and screamed.
The assassins’ goal was very clear.
They did not even look at the others. They only wanted to take Princess Ni Yang’s life.
Princess Ni Yang shouted, “There’s an assassin. Help!”
In the end, after shouting for a long time, no guard came in.
The assassins surrounded her, Wei Liao, and Yan Nanguan.
One of the assassins sneered.
“Demon woman, the guards outside have long been transferred away. Even if you shout until your throat breaks today, no one will save you. Just die obediently!”
With that, they swarmed forward. Each move was fatal, as they sought to kill Princess Ni Yang as quickly as possible.
Wei Liao and Yan Nanguan were not pushovers.
Even though they did not have an advantage in numbers, they still relied on their powerful martial arts to knock these assassins to the ground one by one.
Seeing that their numbers were decreasing, the assassin in the lead finally panicked.
He raised his foot and kicked over a nearby table. Cups, bowls, and plates fell to the ground, and broken porcelain flew everywhere with a clatter.
This was the signal he had agreed with his accomplices.
If the assassination failed, they would overturn the table. When their accomplices guarding outside heard the sound, they would immediately rush in with their men to support them.
The next moment, the assassins saw a figure appear outside the door.
Thinking that reinforcements had arrived, they were relieved only to realize that the people who walked in were Yu Niaoniao, Xiao Juan, and Cheng Qi, who had been grabbed by the collar and dragged along the ground.
Behind them was a large group of Eagle Guards.
The assassins were shocked.
They were waiting for reinforcements. Why were these people here?!
Yu Niaoniao walked in front. Her right hand was in an abnormally twisted posture. Her clothes and hair were a little messy. Her face was pale and she looked anxious.
Xiao Juan was wearing a black narrow-sleeved robe with a leather belt around his waist and deer boots. His black hair was tied behind his head with a black headband.
His face, which was similar to Princess Ni Yang’s, was expressionless, and his eyes were as cold as ice.
Cheng Qi, who was being dragged by him, was the most miserable. His body was covered in injuries and his face was swollen. It was almost impossible to see his original appearance.
Yu Niaoniao asked as soon as she entered, “Your Highness, are you okay?”
Princess Ni Yang asked, “Niaoniao, are you okay?”
They spoke almost at the same time. Realizing that they asked the same question, the two of them froze.
Yan Nanguan exclaimed, “Your Highness, you’re still alive!”
Wei Liao had long known that Xiao Juan was faking his death, so he did not react much.
His gaze lingered on Yu Niaoniao’s dislocated wrist for a moment. He wanted to ask her how she had been injured, but in the end, he could not.
The Eagle Guards swarmed forward and subdued the remaining assassins in a few moves.
The crisis was averted.
Xiao Juan threw Cheng Qi forward as if he was throwing a piece of trash.
“Mother, this is a birthday gift for you.”
Cheng Qi rolled in front of Princess Ni Yang.
He looked up with difficulty and was stunned to see that Princess Ni Yang was still safe and sound.
Why was Princess Ni Yang still alive? Had his plan failed?
Then he saw the captured assassins.
Those were the death warriors he had carefully nurtured. Every one of them was an expert, but now, more than half of them had fallen to the ground and fainted. The remaining half were also tied up tightly.
It was obvious that their assassination had not succeeded.
Cheng Qi’s heart immediately sank to the bottom.
This was the last outcome he wanted.
Princess Ni Yang frowned at the person in front of her and said in disgust, “What is this thing?”
Xiao Juan said expressionlessly, “Your Prince Consort.”
Princess Ni Yang was amazed. Was this ugly thing actually Cheng Qi?
Although there were a lot of issues with Cheng Qi, his face was flawless.
However, the person in front of him was bruised and battered, like a stray dog.
The difference was too great. Even his wife could not recognize him.
Princess Ni Yang despised Cheng Qi for being too ugly and quickly retracted her gaze to ask Xiao Juan.
“What the hell is going on?”
Before Xiao Juan could speak, Cheng Qi shouted first, “Princess, you have to help me! I just discovered Duke Lang’s plan to murder you, so he wanted to silence me. Look at the injuries on my body. They were all caused by him!”
Yu Niaoniao was in disbelief.
The bastard actually complained first!
She was furious. “You were the one who wanted to murder the princess. You arranged for all these killers!”
“Niaoniao, don’t even think about pinning the blame on me. These killers were clearly arranged by Duke Lang.”
At this point, Cheng Qi turned to look at the trussed assassins.
“If you don’t believe me, Your Highness, you can ask them and see who’s behind them.”
Princess Ni Yang looked at the assassins.
The assassins received a look from Cheng Qi. They were all death warriors trained by Cheng Qi. Cheng Qi’s orders were more important than their lives. They immediately said, “Duke Lang instructed us to assassinate Her Highness!”
Yu Niaoniao was a little anxious. “Your Highness, they’re in cahoots with Cheng
Qi. They’re deliberately slandering Duke Lang. Don’t believe them!”
Cheng Qi knew that this was his last hope of survival. He had to grasp it. Otherwise, what awaited him was a tragic death. He endured the pain all over his body and quickly retorted, “I know that Duke Lang has always hated the princess. He has long wanted her to die!”
“In the past, he was young and did not have the ability to deal with the princess. Now that he was in charge of the Justice Department and had power, he wanted to return and take revenge.”
“He had arranged for these assassins, as well as the poison in the food and wine. Your Highness, you treated Xiao Juan so badly back then. How could he still treat you as his mother?”
“This person is ruthless and disregards his family.. Don’t believe him!”
