Chapter 204 The Princess's Embroidered Robe Has Come to Life!!!
Chapter 204 The Princess's Embroidered Robe Has Come to Life!!!
Although nothing in this world is absolute, and we cannot be completely certain that the person who cast the illusion on the Second Princess was not a highly skilled cultivator or immortal, there are not that many coincidences in this world. The two people that Yu Liu and the others targeted first were the Second Princess's husband and Consort De, who had an affair with the Second Princess's husband. And now the illusion has appeared on the Second Princess. How many coincidences are there in this world?
Even if the second princess isn't a powerful demon, it at least proves that she has some connection with a powerful demon!
As for the nature of the relationship, that requires further investigation.
The only question is whether that powerful demon will give them more time to investigate...
Zhengze raised his head, as if he could see the sky outside through the roof of Zhu Fang Palace. It was still daytime, but behind the layers of clouds, the already dim imperial star became even dimmer.
If we wait until the imperial star completely disappears, then the inevitable chaos that will engulf the world will remain unchanged.
And that day is not far away.
We must save the emperor before that happens!!
Zhengze's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. When he felt the body leaning against him move, he immediately lowered his head and saw the princess, who had been resting with her eyes closed, slowly open them. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes, like black gemstones, reflected his own image, making her look so captivating.
For a moment, he was somewhat stunned.
Yan Ning calmly glanced at Zhengze and the princess, who were looking at each other, then looked away and disappeared from Zhu Fang Palace with her baby in her arms.
Hmm, I'd better not be a third wheel here. It's so rare to be with the baby, enjoying some quality time together is the best thing to do!
Thus, after suppressing Yu Liu's suggestion to investigate the Second Princess, Yan Ning, accompanied by Yu Liu, appeared on the busiest street in the capital.
Of course, before appearing, I remembered to put a trick on Yu Liu.
Inside the palace, Yu Liu's existence was no secret, so it didn't matter whether it was concealed or not. However, it was best not to frighten the ordinary people outside.
The streets were bustling with people, and vendors lined both sides of the street, selling all sorts of things. Yan Ning protected Yu Liu as they weaved through the crowd, finding a rare moment of enjoyment in the moment.
The two of them walked hand in hand through the bustling crowd. No matter how large the crowd was, it couldn't break their tightly clasped hands. Yan Ning's mood gradually improved, and he kept smiling as he led Yu Liu from stall to stall.
Although Yu Liu didn't understand what was so great about this, she could tell that Aning was genuinely happy this time, so she dutifully accompanied her, watching as Yan Ning was in high spirits and would occasionally take out money to buy one or two things she liked and hang them on her body.
Yes, it was hanging on her.
The deep green jade pendant is carved with bamboo growing in the rock. Not bad, not bad. The rock carving looks quite like Xiao Liu'er's true form. I'll buy it and hang it on my waist.
So, Yan Ning hung the jade pendant on the waist of her embroidered robe with a smile, which added weight for no reason. Yu Liu inexplicably felt a little pain in her waist.
The fabric used to sew the embroidered garment was thin and light, and the jade pendant almost weighed as much as a small portion of the garment, so of course it was heavy when hung up!
But seeing Ah Ning so happy, I couldn't bear to say it...
Yu Liu silently wept in her heart, then saw Yan Ning buy another pale yellow silk handkerchief. The handkerchief was embroidered with a large bird. Although it was not a phoenix, at least the feathers were beautiful and looked quite similar to the pattern on the embroidered dress. So, the handkerchief was stuffed into the chest of the embroidered dress.
Yu Liu: It's so uncomfortable, sob sob QAQ!
Then came all sorts of decorations to match the embroidered clothes. Yan Ning bought them one by one with great enthusiasm, and then put them on Yu Liu, who could only whine and sob.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. Just when Yu Liu thought she was about to succumb to this unbearable pain, bright red blood suddenly splattered out from the crowded throng, staining the world red.
"what--"
"Murder!!! Murder!!!"
In an instant, chaos ensued.
The headless corpse of a commoner slowly fell to the ground with a thud, the sound echoing in the ears of the surrounding people and intensifying their fear.
The crowd on the street was already shoulder to shoulder with little open space. Suddenly, someone was beheaded, and everyone was terrified and scattered in all directions. There were already many people, and with the panic, many were pushed to the ground without warning, while others fled in all directions in a panic. Various screams could be heard, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
It was this chaos that gave the attackers an opportunity.
A dark glint appeared silently, its target aimed directly at Yan Ning's back.
Yan Ning held Yu Liu tightly in her arms, her eyes filled with obvious anger. Anyone would be angry if their good mood was interrupted, especially since Yan Ning hadn't had the chance to dress up Yu Liu so freely for a long time. The feeling of reliving it was so wonderful, yet someone had to come and bring about their own destruction.
Yan Ning neither dodged nor evaded, but secretly spun the flying scimitar, which directly touched his back and chest, making a clanging sound. The scimitar did not cut through his skin and pierce his heart as the attacker had expected. Instead, it seemed to have hit something hard, and without even tearing his clothes, it lost momentum and fell straight down.
Two fingers intercepted the curved blade halfway through. Yan Ning glanced at the curved blade held between her index and middle fingers and already knew who the person was. With a flick of her wrist, the curved blade spun and flew towards the street corner ahead.
"Ah Ning, are you alright?"
Yu Liu didn't see the curved blade touch Yan Ning's body, but she did see the curved blade flying towards her. She passively nestled in Yan Ning's arms and asked worriedly.
"It's alright! You've seen my abilities before, baby, so don't worry."
Yu Liu thought about it and realized it made sense. When she first met Aning, Aning helped her fulfill her wish by going out every day to catch criminals. There were times when she couldn't handle the situation, but Aning always took the lead and solved it easily!
Yan Ning didn't use any special techniques to dodge the flying scimitar; the attacker easily dodged it, revealing his true identity.
It was an old man, probably in his fifties or sixties, with gray hair and a face full of wrinkles. His facial features had a hint of handsomeness, making him look like a handsome old man. However, his eyes were dark and unfathomable, lacking both the vicissitudes of old age and the vitality of youth. They were like a stagnant pool, very eerie.
By this time, the frightened crowd had mostly fled. Even those who had been pushed down struggled to their feet and limped away. The once bustling street was now left with only Yan Ning and the old man in a standoff.
"Ming'er..."
The old man spoke first, his aged voice hoarse and sounding very rough and unpleasant.
"After all these years, you actually dare to lay a hand on your father..."
