Chapter 735: A woman disguised as a man, a proton, and a foolish marquis (10)
"what……"
With a scream, Xiao Huan fell heavily to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood, which splashed on the cold ground, forming a pool of glaring scarlet.
This scene was shocking, enough to prove how powerful Yu Yan's kick just now was.
Yu Yan walked forward expressionlessly, raised her foot and stepped on Xiao Huan's chest, looked at him grimly, and said coldly: "Who do you think you are? How dare you shout in front of my Highness?"
Xiao Huan's face was twisted in pain, but he still glared at Yu Yan viciously, gritting his teeth and saying, "Yu Chen, if you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, when I see the emperor, I will make him order you to be executed!"
Hearing this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Yu Yan's eyes. Without hesitation, she kicked Xiao Huan again, knocking him unconscious.
However, at this moment, an anxious voice came: "Your Highness, let's go!"
Qi Yunchu hurried over, held Yu Yan's hand tightly, and whispered, "Your Highness, let's leave quickly! If someone comes later, it will be difficult for us to get away. As long as we firmly deny it, no one will know that it was you who beat Xiao Huan, and I will definitely testify for you to prove that you have been with me and have never seen Xiao Huan."
Although Yu Yan vented her anger, she was very happy.
But anyone with a brain would know that if Princess Qing'an knew that her precious son was beaten like this, the Third Prince would be finished, and Princess Qing'an would never let her go.
Qi Yunchu nervously pulled Yu Yan's sleeve and looked at Xiao Huan lying on the ground, feeling a little anxious.
Yu Yan chuckled, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Don't be afraid, just remember, today I attended the flower viewing banquet and met Xiao Shizi here in the rockery. He saw that I was a hostage, so he bullied me and injured me, understand?"
When Qi Yunchu heard this, she was stunned. She had no idea what Yu Yan was up to.
Her eyes widened and she stammered, "Huh? What?"
However, before Qi Yunchu could react, Yu Yan had already quickly walked to Xiao Huan's side. Her face turned extremely pale in an instant, as if she had been extremely frightened and hurt.
She was half leaning weakly against the rockery, which made people feel pity for her.
At this moment, Hongye also jumped out from behind the rockery, ran to Xiao Huan swiftly, carefully helped him wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then shook his body vigorously, trying to wake him up.
After a while, Xiao Huan finally woke up.
The moment Xiao Huan woke up, Hongye immediately ran back to Yu Yan, looking pitiful and miserable.
As soon as Xiao Huan opened his eyes, he saw Yu Yan leaning against the rockery. He immediately remembered the scene of being beaten up by her just now, and the anger in his heart instantly ignited.
He ran over angrily, grabbed Yu Yan by the collar, lifted her up, and shouted angrily: "Yu Chen, you are a hostage, this prince is going to kill you!"
Yu Yan moved her ears and fell backwards following his force.
A group of noble ladies came over happily and were about to enjoy the beautiful scenery when they suddenly heard a loud noise.
They looked in the direction of the voice out of curiosity and saw the Third Prince of the Southern Border Kingdom being pushed to the ground by Xiao Huan.
A timid girl covered her mouth and screamed, "Ah...Prince Xiao, what are you doing?"
When Xiao Huan heard the voice, he subconsciously looked back and answered casually: "What are you doing? Don't you have eyes? It's just a hostage. What if I kill him?"
After saying that, he continued to punch and kick the Third Prince of the Southern Border Kingdom who had already fallen to the ground.
However, by the time he realized what he had said, it was too late.
He turned around and found that the group of noble ladies were looking at him in horror.
At this time, Hongye half-knelt on the ground and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Concubine Shu has ordered me to take good care of you, please don't get into any trouble!"
While she was crying, she turned around and glared at Xiao Huan fiercely, gritting her teeth and said, "Xiao Shizi, you actually dared to kill our prince. I must send a message back to the southern border to let His Majesty know about this. His Majesty loves our prince the most, and she will definitely seek justice for His Majesty."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed and became very ugly.
After all, he is the most beloved prince of the Southern Border Kingdom!
It is said that his maternal family is powerful and has a large number of troops under their command, and his maternal grandfather is a veteran of three dynasties and holds a high position of power. What he says carries a decisive weight in the court.
Although they looked down on the Third Prince as a hostage in their hearts, who would dare to show such emotion?
At most, they would just do some small things secretly behind the scenes.
However, at this moment, the ladies looked at Xiao Huan with strangeness and vigilance.
This guy is so bold that he even dares to openly declare that he wants to kill the third prince of the Southern Border Kingdom.
At this moment, a group of noble young men from the capital, led by Ning Cheng, also came over.
After seeing the scene in front of them, they quickly understood what had happened.
However, Ning Cheng and Xiao Huan have always been sworn enemies, not to mention that he had previously paid a full 50,000 taels of silver for Yu Yan.
In this case, shouldn't Xiao Huan, his mortal enemy, also bleed a little?
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng walked quickly to Yu Yan, with a worried look on his face, and said in a concerned tone: "Third Prince, are you okay? Oh, you look so pale. I heard that you just detoxified and your body is still very weak. Don't let anything go wrong!"
After saying that, he turned his head, stared at Xiao Huan sharply, and sneered, "Xiao Shizi, you are so brave! If the Third Prince gets into an accident because of you, and the war between our North Wing Kingdom and South Border Kingdom breaks out again, you will probably be in big trouble."
Although Xiao Huan is a playboy, he is not extremely stupid.
He naturally understood that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to him.
So he quickly denied it, "Don't talk nonsense! I didn't touch a hair on his head. On the contrary, I kicked him twice just now, and he vomited blood."
"Prince Xiao, how can you talk nonsense? Our prince is weak, how could he possibly beat you? Didn't you see that our prince's face turned pale?"
Hongye stood up at the right time and shouted with a crying voice.
At this time, Yu Yan also suddenly started coughing. After coughing a few times, her face turned paler and she looked like she would faint at any time.
After hearing this, Xiao Huan angrily retorted, "You are talking nonsense! When Yu Chen kicked me just now, you, a little palace maid, were not there!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Yunchu who was standing nearby and seemed to have been frightened silly.
So, he pointed at Qi Yunchu and asked loudly: "Tell me, was I kicked twice by the Third Prince just now, and did I spit out blood?"
At this time, everyone also noticed Qi Yunchu standing aside, and turned their eyes to her.
Qi Yunchu finally came back to her senses. She looked at Xiao Huan fearfully and said with trembling lips, "Just now...just now it was Prince Xiao who bullied the Third Prince."
"What did you say? I bullied him?"
Xiao Huan's eyes widened in disbelief, and he shouted, "Just now, he kicked me twice and I vomited blood."
At this point, he thought of the blood he had vomited, and then he thought of something else and reached out to touch the corner of his mouth, "There's still blood at the corner of my mouth!"
When he opened his hands, there was no blood on them.
Ning Cheng sneered, "Xiao Huan, stop talking nonsense. If this matter is brought to the emperor, you will be punished."
