The Princess Cannot Escape: The Cunning Prince Is Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 7 Encountering Danger

Yin Quan knew that Xiahou Ying, that germaphobe, would never have a change of heart so easily!

After saying that, the elegant and aloof Xiahou wiped her hands and left. Before leaving, she tossed the white handkerchief she had used to wipe her hands to Yin Quan and casually instructed, "Take this and throw it away."

Clutching the spotless white handkerchief in her hand, she screamed angrily at the tall, receding figure, "Xiahou Ying! You son of a bitch!"

She stomped on the white handkerchief furiously, as if the snow-white square cloth were Xiahou Ying's exquisite and otherworldly face. As she stomped, Yin Quan roared, "Xiahou Ying! Go to hell! You germaphobe! You pretty boy! You sadist! Go to hell! Go to hell! I'm the one who's the same width from top to bottom?! You're the one who's the same width from top to bottom! Your whole family is the same width from top to bottom! Drown in a pig cage! Drown in your grandma's pig cage! I didn't even marry into this family! What right do you have to tell me what to do!"

Just as she was venting her frustration on the white handkerchief, a horse's neigh suddenly drew her attention.

"what are you doing?"

"The master has ordered that we have horse meat hotpot tonight," the burly man in coarse cloth replied nonchalantly, grabbing the reins to lead the horse away.

"Horse meat hot pot?" Upon hearing this, Yin Quan blinked at Xiao Bai, who was pawing at the ground with its hooves, and suddenly realized what it meant.

This is revenge! Naked revenge!

Thinking of this, she calmly picked up the already soiled handkerchief from the ground, grabbed a handful of dirt, and asked with interest, "Horse meat hot pot? Is there something to celebrate?"

"We only follow orders and know nothing else." The man said, glancing at Yin Quan, when a handful of sand suddenly flew towards him, causing a sharp pain in his eyes.

"Little White! Run!" With a clever move, Yin Quan snatched the reins from the man who had temporarily lost his sight, roared, and jumped onto the horse's back. With a powerful kick, he immediately charged towards the back gate.

As expected of a tribute horse from the Western Frontier, Xiaobai's explosive power and speed were as fast as lightning. In an instant, it broke through the encirclement and left the royal guards far behind.

"She escaped on a jade unicorn?"

In the study, Xiahou Ying looked up from the silk scroll and gazed at Wei Jun.

"Yes." Wei Jun replied, lowering his head even further.

"Let her be." Xiahou Ying turned a page casually, averting his gaze.

Upon hearing this, Wei Jun looked up, somewhat puzzled.

"Go and follow her." Just as he was puzzled, the indifferent voice rang out again. Wei Jun accepted the order and quickly left the study. Only after leaving the Duan Prince's residence did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it was just his imagination, but ever since Yin Quan fled, the atmosphere in the mansion seemed to have become even more oppressive…

Riding Little White all the way out of the city, just as Yin Quan was beginning to feel somewhat relieved, Little White let out a long neigh and started to turn around and run back.

Just as she was getting closer and closer to the city gate, a wooden arrow suddenly shot out from the thick bushes. With a sharp "whoosh," Yin Quan almost instinctively pressed her entire body against the horse's back, narrowly escaping the attack.

Turning back to the arrow shaft, half of which was embedded in the tree trunk, she felt a shiver run through her heart.

So what if he kidnapped her little white dog and ran away?! Did he really have to be so serious about taking her life?!

Just as they were pondering this, more wooden arrows shot out from the bushes, each with a thin iron wire tied to its end, instantly trapping Xiaobai and Yin Quan, who was riding on it.

As she watched as the surroundings were gradually covered by layers of dark iron wire, Yin Quan felt a tightness in her scalp and bit her lip.

Is this some kind of scheme to drive them, men and horses, to their deaths?!

Although Xiahou Ying was a perverted and germaphobic bastard, at most he would only torment her in various ways, and would never take her life...

Thinking of this, Yin Quan felt a chill run down her spine. She tightened her arms around the white horse's neck and whispered soothing words to prevent the horse from being startled and causing unnecessary losses.

Looking at the iron wires that gleamed strangely in the sunlight, she frowned and sighed inwardly: How poisonous! They've actually been sharpened! At the same time, several men dressed in rough clothes suddenly leaped out from the surrounding bushes.

Squinting at the men who were carrying crossbows but were not masked, Yin Quan pursed her lips and asked, "Does Yin Zhengting know that Liu Ruyue sent you to kill me?"

Clearly not expecting her to be so calm, the men holding crossbows were stunned for a moment, then regained their composure. The leader let out a low growl and pulled the trigger towards Yin Quan's face!

She instinctively covered her head with her hands, swayed, and instantly lost her balance.

As if sensing the danger, Little White let out a neigh and immediately tried to leap up.

Just as the gleaming iron wires in the sunlight were about to touch the white horse's strong neck, Yin Quan suddenly raised his arm to pull the reins, and at the same time, the wooden arrow was already close by.

Seeing the wooden arrow flying towards her in an instant, Yin Quan immediately shouted at the top of her lungs, "Whoever saves me now, I'll marry him!"

"Don't speak so soon, I don't want to marry you yet..."

A clear, cold voice drifted down from above, carrying a chilling coolness. Staring unblinkingly at the snow-white figure that descended from the sky like a god, Yin Quan's lips were parted for a long while before she finally roared, "Bastard! You pervert! Why are you eating horse meat hotpot for no reason!"

Before her roar could subside, several loud "bangs" rang out, and the iron wires surrounding her snapped, intercepting the wooden arrows that were already flying towards her.

As soon as Xiahou Ying landed, Wei Jun and three other white-clad guards surrounded him and Yin Quan, each with a cold and stern expression.

Looking down at Yin Quan, who was still gripping the reins tightly, he pursed his lips and said expressionlessly, "Clean it all up."

Upon hearing this, Yin Quan suddenly got goosebumps all over.

How cruel!

Before this, she had never thought Xiahou Ying was a scary person, but now, she felt a strange and inexplicable fear.

Suddenly, a chilling voice drifted into my ears: "Are you injured?"

Suddenly snapping back to her senses, she paused for a moment, then followed his gaze to her bloodstained arm.

Looking at the blood-stained sleeves, Yin Quan pouted.

Little White was struggling so much just now, perhaps it was cut during that time...

Suddenly, my wrist felt a warmth, and before I could react, a pair of well-proportioned hands grasped mine.

"Eh?!"

"Don't move." Without even glancing at her, Xiahou Ying's command was concise and devoid of any emotion.

Yin Quan shrank back silently, biting her lip, and turned her head to look at the white-clad guards who were cutting melons and vegetables with ease. Then she looked back at the snow-white figure in front of her, her heart filled with doubts.

"You came to save me? What medicine did you use on me? It doesn't hurt at all..." Before she could finish speaking, Yin Quan felt everything go black and lost consciousness.

Silently watching the woman who had fallen into his arms and temporarily lost consciousness, Xiahou Ying lowered his gaze. After a long while, he slowly moved his thin, cicada-wing-like lips: "Sleeping potion."
