Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"I am returning to Wenqu Country now, a mission assigned to me by Heaven. If you all truly wish to thank me, please make way for me and turn your thoughts into a prayer, asking the radiant three-legged golden crow to bless me, so that my journey back to Wenqu Country will be smooth and unobstructed!"

As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, the people of Wulie, who were originally looking at each other in confusion, immediately made way for her. They put their hands together and recited their long-standing prayers to the gods in unison.

"In the past, I, Wu Lie, revered the Heavens and followed my ancestors. The Golden Crow was the supreme ruler, the Lord of Time. Its wings were resplendent, and its golden light shone brightly, illuminating the four seas and reaching far and wide."

Amidst the sincere blessings of the people of Wulie, the Wenqu Kingdom's envoys slowly departed the capital. Even as the outline of the bustling capital gradually faded, Bai Yue could still catch the lingering traces of blessings on the wind.

Finally, she took another look at the city, then turned around gently and disappeared into the quiet of the carriage. Half a day's journey passed quietly, and the team finally arrived at the end of the journey, a sparkling port.

The fleet of Wenqu State, which had been arranged in an orderly manner, was like a giant dragon ready to take off, quietly waiting for the return of the diplomatic mission. As soon as the carriage stopped, Bai Yue jumped out of the carriage lightly, wanting to see what the situation was.

"Hey, this atmosphere is a little off!"

Bai Yue looked around and found that although the fleet was busy, there seemed to be an invisible wall separating their carriage from these people.

What is even more puzzling is that until now, not a single official from the Wenqu Kingdom has come forward to pay their respects to Yun Qingchen. This strangeness makes Bai Yue's heartstrings tense. She quietly tightened the sharp dagger in her sleeve. The coolness from her fingertips seemed to dispel a trace of uneasiness.

"Strange, why is it that no one has come to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now?"

Xiaoyi muttered as she jumped lightly from the carriage. As her eyes moved, she saw Yun Qingchi walking slowly not far away. Her heart skipped a beat. Before she could whisper to Bai Yue beside her, she could no longer contain her inner joy and ran towards him like a gust of wind, her smile blooming like a flower.

"Greetings to His Majesty Prince Hui. I never thought that Xiaoyi would be able to meet His Majesty again here!"

There was a hint of joy in her words that was hard to conceal.

When Yun Qingchi heard this, a cunning light flashed in his eyes and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh? It's Xiaoyi. It's only been two years since we last met, and you've grown into a graceful young lady!"

This sudden praise instantly made Xiaoyi's face turn red, and she said a little shyly.

"Your Highness, Prince Hui, you're making fun of Xiaoyi again. I... I don't want to be a grown-up girl..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a sudden sharp pain came from her abdomen. Xiaoyi looked up in surprise, only to see Yun Qingchi holding a dagger with a cold glow in his hand, with bright red blood still dripping from the tip of the blade, and his smile became even brighter.

"Well, since you don't want to grow up, then I will help you. After all, only death can make everything stop."

His words were gentle, but as cold as ice, making people shudder.

“Xiao Yi!!!”

At that moment, Xiaoyi's figure was like a withered petal, slowly embracing the earth. This scene instantly ignited the turmoil in Sixuan's heart. He seemed to be driven by an invisible force, and jumped off the seat like crazy, rushing towards the figure that was gradually losing its life.

"Xiaoxuan, it's dangerous, stop now!"

Bai Yue's cries were torn into pieces by the wind. Because she was concerned about Yun Qingchen in the carriage, she failed to pull Sixuan, who was almost crazy, in time.

At this critical moment, a cold arrow streaked through the sky, like the whisper of death, accurately hitting Sixuan's heart, freezing him on the way to Xiaoyi.

"hateful!"

Bai Yue no longer hesitated. He raised his sword and decisively cut the ropes that bound the carriage and the horses. His movements were so decisive, as if he was racing against death.

At the same time, Yun Qingchen in the carriage was also startled by this sudden change. When he lifted the curtain, Bai Yue did not hesitate for a moment and held his hand tightly.

With an irresistible force, she pulled him onto the horse's back, and the two of them rode together, using the power of the frightened horse to stir up a cloud of dust and gallop towards an unknown fate.

This sudden change made the originally peaceful journey instantly thrilling. Every beat of the horse's hooves was like the drumbeat of fate, beating on everyone's heart.

"Your Highness, Prince Hui! What are you doing? How could you be so cruel to the Crown Prince's personal maid and loyal servants..."

The officials of the diplomatic corps were all dumbfounded as if they were swept away by a sudden storm. It was not until Bai Yue and Yun Qingchen disappeared from view that some of them cast questioning glances at Yun Qingchi with some disbelief.

"My Lords, what are you talking about? We have killed people before. Are you so tired from the journey that you mistook a dream for reality?"

Yun Qingchi's lips curled up into a meaningful smile, like a poppy blooming in spring, beautiful but deadly.

"Come here, please ask everyone to return to the cabin to rest. Without my personal permission, they are not allowed to take a single step out of the cabin!"

"As ordered!"

Following Yun Qingchi's order, the guards of the envoys quickly surrounded the stunned officials like a solid wall. Most of them chose to obey silently out of fear, but a few officials who were filled with righteous indignation shouted loudly with anger.

"Yun Qingchi! How dare you secretly harm the crown prince? Such an act is tantamount to treason and slaying the master!"

Yun Qingchi's eyes suddenly turned cold, like a sharp blade in the cold night. He smiled lightly, and that smile contained endless coldness.

"Oh, the word 'loyal minister' has been perfectly embodied by these gentlemen. Well, since they are loyal ministers, let's grant them a chance to 'reflect in the water'. Come, shut their mouths, and once the boat sets sail, let them dance with the blue waves and calm down!"

After saying this, Yun Qingchi turned around and said to a servant beside him with a smile.

"Alright, I've already cleared out those close associates around my eldest brother. Next, I ask your Lord Lin Xian to do a clean job, so that my eldest brother and his wife can disappear silently from the eyes of the world like the waves on this river."

The servant raised a sly smile and bowed, speaking with confidence.

"Your Highness, Prince Hui, please rest assured. My prince has laid a tight net. This day next year will be the anniversary of the death of Crown Prince Chenyun and the Crown Princess. These two will never appear in this world again."
