The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

Bai Yu was speechless after Mu Ru Yue's words. He looked at the gentle smile on Seventh Princess's face and thought back to when she passed the trial in the mountains today. Furthermore … With this ability, Bai Yu was relieved.

It was normal for such a person to be taken advantage of and used by Jun Ruo. Even if Jun Ruo didn't use Murong Yue, a chess piece who had automatically delivered herself to his doorstep, he would still think that Jun Ruo had been taken advantage of.

With that in mind, Bai Yu instructed the coachman to head to the street where Mu Ru Yue lived.

However, just as they arrived at the entrance to the three streets behind Peony City, the carriage suddenly stopped. The three people who were in the carriage were all confused. In the next second, they only saw a flash of blood.

Blood dripped onto the curtain.

"What is it?" Bai Yu's expression instantly turned cold. He stood up and stood in front of Mu Ru Yue and the elder that didn't say anything. Mu Ru Yue also had a serious expression. At this moment, she could hear screams coming from outside.

Mu Ru Yue couldn't help but look out the window of the carriage and see a group of men covered their faces with sabers in hand, slaughtering the people here. When Mu Ru Yue saw this, a cold ray of light flashed past her eyes.

Why would such a thing happen in Peony City?

The security of Peony City was tight, this was definitely abnormal. With that thought in mind, Mu Ru Yue got up and prepared to head out.

"Princess, the situation isn't right. Please don't go out. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would just be a fearless sacrifice." As he spoke, he saw Bai Yu's expression darken when he saw a long blade stabbed into the car.

"From the looks of it, even if we don't want to interfere, they still won't let us go. I'm a person... "He always likes to be the first to strike." Mu Ru Yue said in a cold voice. After she finished speaking, she scattered a handful of poison powder before rushing out.

However, the scene that entered her eyes caused her eyes to turn red. Before they left the city, the city was peaceful. Although it was said that there was a slave market in such a dark place, these people were filled with enthusiasm.

And now?

Those who died on the ground were all in strange shapes and sizes. Under the feet of the group of black-clothed men, there were only corpses. At this moment, they were surrounding Mu Ru Yue and the others' carriages. Mu Ru Yue's expression was extremely ugly. Just as he was about to poison the medicine, he felt a sharp pain behind him. Before he could turn around to see who it was, he felt his vision go dark and he fell to the ground.

The sky gradually darkened, but the people of Peony City were unable to find peace. Rows and rows of City Lord's Mansion soldiers were inspecting every street area. There was no other reason but … Something terrible had happened in the city.

Hundreds of people were slaughtered, and some were even captured. As for the City Lord's Mansion, they only received one request from them, and that was to hand over the Crown Prince Feng Qing, and they would release the hostages. Otherwise, all of them would tear the votes.

Time... Only one night.

This method of kidnapping sent chills down one's spine. At the same time, everyone was more curious about whether the current Crown Prince would be willing to go and save the hostages. This was an almost unsolvable question.

If it was Feng Qing who died, then he would be above everyone else. Not to mention hundreds of people dying and being captured by dozens, even the people from a city that died would not be of any concern to him. Because he didn't want to be the emperor, nor did he want to fight for power.

All of this was meaningless to him. He didn't need to curry favor with anyone. In his eyes, his life was the most precious.

However, it was impossible for Feng Qing to do so now.

Right now, he had already decided to participate in the struggle for power. If he were to give up the lives of the citizens, then his evaluation of him in the capital would be terrible. As a crown prince, he didn't know how to appreciate the people's feelings and could only watch the people die.

Such a person was simply unworthy of being the Crown Prince.

In the past, he didn't want to fight for it. His father protected him, but now … In royal father's eyes, he would be treated the same as everyone else. Only the victor would be the Emperor.

But at the same time, if he were to go?

There would be many possibilities. The most likely possibility was that he was worried about the public. When he was trying to save people, he was secretly harmed.

For the sake of whether or not Feng Qing would go and save them, the citizens of the city were already in a heated argument. There were even casinos that opened a gambling house to see whether or not Feng Qing would take the risk to save those people at daybreak.

At this moment, the City Lord's Mansion was completely different.

Within the City Lord's Mansion's most luxurious courtyard, a woman's pleading voice sounded, "Your Highness, are you crazy? "How could you risk it for those people?" Doll blocked the door and shouted in disbelief.

There was a man in black robes and a mask kneeling on the ground.

Beside him stood Jun Ru, who was wearing a simple robe. Looking at this scene, he waited for the result.

Feng Qing's gaze was faint, but when it landed on Tao Er, Tao Er's face became red, but soon after, her expression became firm: "Your Highness, those people must be people from the capital that do not want to see you participate in the imperial court. If you go, then wouldn't that be what you want?"

When Feng Qing heard this, he didn't seem to mind and just said, "If I don't go, it would be normal."

"But if anything happens to Your Highness, everything will be gone. "Servant …" This servant begs you. " Her voice was choked with sobs, and when she spoke, she seemed to be filled with despair.

Feng Qing didn't really care about Tao Er's request. However, he didn't have much desire to save those people. For his sake, he had to go save someone. That was why he didn't get angry at Tao'er for blocking his way.

He only said: "I have already made up my mind. You can go and report to the City Lord. "

Feng Qing's words caused Tao Er's heart to sink to the bottom. She looked at Feng Qing in despair, thinking, if this was the Seventh Princess' request, I'm afraid that His Highness would definitely agree to it, right?

As she thought of this, a peculiar glint flashed through Tao Er's eyes. At this moment, she suddenly heard Jun Ru say, "Your Highness, have you finished settling your matters?"

Feng Qing looked suspiciously at Jun Ruo when he heard what he said.

"This morning, after Princess Hua-Yang left the house, she hasn't returned from her troubles in the city. Although I feel that with Princess Hua-Yang's character, there won't be any problems, I still have to report to her," Jun Ruo continued.

As soon as Jun Ru finished his sentence, he saw Feng Qing's expression turn unsightly. He didn't say a word and directly left the courtyard.

Tao Er's expression was unsightly to the extreme. She angrily glared at Jun Ruo and asked, "Are you doing this on purpose?"

Jun Ruoruo was quite calm and only smiled. "I'm just doing my routine to do what a partner should do. It wouldn't make sense if he didn't inform His Highness about the disappearance of the wangfei.

However, His Highness really cares about Seventh Princess. "

Jun Ruo's last sentence held deep meaning.

Water dripped onto the ground from the dark underground, splashing everywhere.

The dim light of the fire illuminated the underground cage.

"Royal Consort … Princess Hua-Yang, wake up! "

Mu Ru Yue felt dizzy. She could only hear someone shouting in her ear. It made her open her eyes. What entered her eyes was Bai Yu's slightly plump face.

"You're finally awake. If you didn't wake up now, I'm afraid you would have called for help already." Bai Yu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Mu Rong Yue had woken up.

Mu Ru Yue sat up and looked around. It was as though she was looking at a cave. There were potholes, and there were even drops of water dripping from them. In this iron cage, there was only her, Bai Yu, and that old man.

Other than this, there was nothing else.

"This place is?" Mu Ru Yue felt her voice become hoarse as she spoke. Behind her head, there was a sharp pain as well. She couldn't help but think back to the past. Just now … It was clearly someone hitting her from behind. Only then did she faint.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been caught.

"This should be the underground of the slave market." Bai Yu said.

Slave market?

Mu Ru Yue suddenly felt terrible! Then, he heard Bai Yu say, "Now, the good news is that they do not intend to carve a slave imprint on us. The bad news is... There is only one way to deal with such a person, and that is to kill him. "
