The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

Ye Zong immediately appeared and helped Xiao Chengchang up.

Xiao Chengchang endured the severe pain, stood up trembling, and tried hard to control his facial expression.

Seeing his expression, Su Yuejian instantly understood what was going on with those thieves.

She sneered in her heart, thinking that he wanted to direct and act out a heroic drama himself.

In order to facilitate his actions, Xiao Chengchang had his men clear the road. Now his men had retreated, and the people coming down the mountain and some carriages were stuck here.

At this time, curious people came over, and some opened the car doors or lifted the curtains and stretched their necks to look at his miserable appearance!

Xiao Chengchang didn't expect Xiao Heng to be so perceptive. He glanced at Su Yuejian in the car and the glaring eyes behind him, suppressed his anger, and pretended to be gentle.

"I just passed by here when I came down the mountain."

Xiao Ningyao was puzzled.

"Second brother, have you come down the mountain a long time ago? Why didn't you take my carriage and bring my guards with you?"

Su Yuejian glanced at the weeds on his body and said sarcastically, "Why is your Highness Prince Gong covered in weeds? Did he walk on a grassy path?"

After he said this, Xiao Ningyao and Yao Cai noticed his clothes. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he must have been in a haystack just now, which was why he was covered in so much grass dirt.

Xiao Chengchang's expression froze when he heard this, and he didn't know how to explain.

Ye Zong, who was standing by, suddenly thought of something and said something clever, "The prince just went to the bushes to relieve himself, and that's why his clothes got dirty."

Xiao Chengchang's face darkened when he heard Ye Zong's excuse.

But there was no better way to say it at the moment, so he could only say, "Yes, I just went to the bushes to relieve myself."

Yao Cai felt that something was wrong after hearing this. That meant that His Royal Highness Prince Gong had been here since just now.

She wondered, "Then why didn't His Royal Highness Prince Gong show up to protect the princess when those bandits showed up just now?"

Faced with Yaocai's questioning, Xiao Chengchang's face was full of black lines and his lips were tight.

Those who were watching the fun and listening to their conversation started to spread the story by word of mouth.

Some quick-talkers started discussing.

"The eldest princess was killed, and His Royal Highness Prince Gong was watching from the sidelines. This royal family truly lacks sibling love!"

"Isn't it said that His Royal Highness Prince Gong is always virtuous? Why would he stand by and watch?"

"Oh my! I just saw the Regent's guards carrying several burly men away. With their physiques, perhaps His Royal Highness Prince Gong was frightened and couldn't fight them off!"

"I can't believe His Royal Highness Prince Gong is such a coward!"

"Yes, those guards are all the Regent's men. If we're talking about fighting, it has to be our God of War, Prince!"

As they spoke, everyone began to recount Xiao Heng's brave and fighting achievements.

"That's right. Our War God Prince joined the army at the age of fourteen and led troops into the battlefield at the age of fifteen. In just a few years, through battles both large and small, all those small vassal states and tribes on the border were conquered. Only then was Tianjin able to become the leader of the four countries. The most famous one was the battle against Beiyi. With only 30,000 Xuanjia soldiers against the 200,000 Beiyi troops, he actually defeated Beiyi's barbarian army and forced them to retreat north of the Helan Mountains. Since then, they have never dared to attack again. There is also the Battle of Liangzhou City..."

For a time, public opinion intensified. Some people said that Prince Gong was cowardly and ruthless, while others praised the Regent for his bravery and fighting skills, which were admirable.

No matter which statement Xiao Chengchang heard, he would be furious, but he usually appeared gentle in public, and he couldn't lose his temper and ruin his past image.

Seeing Xiao Chengchang's face was dark and green, Su Yue curled her cherry lips into a mocking smile.

Xiao Ningyao listened to the discussions outside and looked at Xiao Chengchang with a somewhat ugly expression.

Xiao Chengchang hurriedly explained, "Jing'an, Princess, please don't misunderstand me. I just arrived here and didn't see any bandits. I don't know what happened."

"Are you in danger? Are you injured?" His tone was anxious, as if revealing deep worry.

Looking at his innocent look, it seems that he really knows nothing about the criminals.

Xiao Chengchang feigned anger and spoke again, "In broad daylight, in the open, there are bandits who hijack a car. This matter will not be tolerated by the king. Princess Minghua, don't worry! When I return, I will have Jingzhao Prefecture send more people to patrol and maintain security, and we must completely eliminate this bandit problem!"

Seeing his confident look, Xiao Ningyao's displeasure was somewhat dispelled.

The moment Xiao Heng in the carriage saw Xiao Chengchang coming out, he knew what he was planning and his face became very gloomy.

He said coldly to the outside, "Prince Gong, you don't have to worry about eliminating the bandits. Instead of that, why not tell the Ministry of Works to build a few thatched huts along this road? Then you won't have to go to the bushes to relieve yourself when you go out."

"Puch-"

"Hahahahaha..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people burst into laughter.

Su Yue couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She didn't expect that the Regent was such a sharp-tongued person.

Xiao Ningyao looked at Xiao Chengchang's red face and tried hard to control the smile on her face.

At this moment, Xiao Chengchang was completely humiliated. Feeling Xiao Chengchang's murderous gaze, Ye Zong shrank his neck. He thought his excuse was clever...

Xiao Chengchang knew he couldn't afford to offend Xiao Heng, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Uncle Emperor is very thoughtful."

He lowered his head to look at his injured leg, then thought for a moment and looked up at Su Yuejian again, "Jing'an, you guys are going down the mountain, but I don't have a carriage ready. Why don't we go together?"

Xiao Ningyao glanced at Xiao Chengchang, then turned to look at Su Yuejian who had a cold face beside her.

It seems like her second brother also has feelings for Yue'er!

What about the little uncle?

Xiao Heng listened to his shameless words and wanted to smash Xiao Chengchang's skull with one palm. He warned him in an unhappy tone.

"Has Prince Gong's Mansion become so poor that it doesn't even have a carriage to go out? It seems that I should ask my brother if he has not paid you a salary all these years!"

Xiao Chengchang's face became even uglier. Why did Xiao Heng target him everywhere?

Xiao Heng continued to sneer, "Xuanfeng, go get a horse for this poor nephew of mine."

Xuanfeng took the order and after a while he found an old horse and led it to Xiao Chengchang, then forced the reins into Yezong's hands.

Looking at the skinny old horse in front of him, Xiao Chengchang's face was so dark that ink seemed to drip out.

Xiao Ningyao didn't care about that. Seeing Ye Zong take the horse, he said to Xiao Chengchang, "Second brother, you can ride down the mountain faster. We'll go first."

She also wanted to eat the delicious food made by Yue'er, and she had already wasted most of the day.

Then he asked Yaocai to close the car door and Qingshan drove away.

After the roads were cleared, people began to disperse and go down the mountain.

Xuanfeng drove his carriage slowly past Xiao Chengchang.

He looked at the departing carriage with a sinister look on his face.

"Ye Zong, immediately send someone to bring Du Laoguai to Prince Gong's Mansion."

Xiao Heng, if you want to go against me, I will never let you go!
