Chapter 15 - A Shadow

”You!”

Xiao Qingqian's eyes were wreathed in fury as he glared at her.

I've seen people who don't care about their lives, but I've never seen anyone like Wei Qing!

Even at such a critical moment, he still had the guts to ask him ”on what basis?”

”Wei Qing, open your eyes wide for this duke and see clearly that you are this king's consort. If this king doesn't agree to your death, then you are not allowed to die!”

Wei Qing laughed even more mockingly, and said hoarsely: ”I'm willing!”

Damn it!

Xiao Qingqian wished that he could strangle Wei Qing to death at this moment.

This damn girl's skills are truly too amazing!

The guards were quick, dragging the doctor into the hall.

The thick stench of blood on his face caused the doctor's complexion to change. He rushed forward and examined Wei Qing's pulse, using medicine to prescribe the prescription, and then said with a trembling voice, ”Your highness, the wangfei will be fine after taking a rest!”

Xiao Qingqian obviously did not believe him. He frowned, and looked at the doctor doubtfully.

The doctor's forehead was beaded with sweat.

Princess Hua-Yang's injury looked frightening, but she'd easily avoided an important blood vessel. This was indeed strange.

If the princess had injured herself, then she must have been familiar with the meridians of the human body.

If it was the princess' wife who had been injured by the king, could it be that she had merely given a small lesson to the princess and had not expected it to become so serious?

”Forget it, you can leave now!” Xiao Qingqian waved his hands a little tiredly.

He had done his best, and it all depended on his fate if Wei Qing could survive.

Die'er rushed forward and stared at Xiao Qingqian with misty eyes.

”I'm afraid that the Prince would be more than willing to see the Eldest Miss die just like that, so get out of the way!”

The pressure around Xiao Qingqian suddenly dropped again.

”Men, take good care of my wife!” Xiao Qingqian did not wish to find fault here, so after instructing them, he returned to the study room.

He saw from afar a shadow quickly enter the study. He was stunned and quickly rushed over.

Perhaps the person inside had sensed something, as he leapt out from the study room's window and shot three poisoned silver needles at Xiao Qingqian.

Xiao Qingqian squinted his eyes, his body nimbly dodged, and rushed towards the shadow with a powerful burst of inner strength.

That person's eyes widened, barely dodging the attack.

The strong inner strength struck the fake boulder behind that person, and with a ”peng” sound, a hole appeared on the fake rock.

The sounds of fighting attracted the dark guards, and they all surrounded that person, closing in step by step.

Just as the black cloth cloth was about to be torn apart, a Smoke Bomb was thrown at the Dark Guard.

With a ”hong” sound, the smoke rose into the air, and the man quickly took advantage of the chaos to leave.

As the smoke dissipated, the person had long since disappeared.

Xiao Qingqian squinted his eyes, his hands clenched into fists under his sleeves, his entire body releasing a heavy aura.

”Your Highness, your subordinate has failed in his duty, please punish me severely!” The guards all knelt down.

Xiao Qingqian's gloomy eyes quickly swept across everyone's faces, and coldly said. ”Self-punishment!”

The guards quickly retreated.

Xiao Qingqian entered the study room, his gaze quickly sweeping the area. Seeing that the box containing the city map did not show any signs of being in a passive state, his heart that was hanging in the air suddenly felt at ease.

As he carefully recalled the person's eyes from before, Xiao Qingqian only felt that they seemed very familiar, but he was still unable to immediately recall who it was.

It was late, so he prepared to sleep in the study.
