The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

"What's wrong? What happened?" Dongfang Wan'er asked in astonishment as she was almost thrown out of the carriage.

"Wan'er, stay inside the carriage and don't come out." Ye Jiuchen quickly jumped off his horse, drew his sword, and stood guard beside the carriage. His eyes were sharp as he warily scanned his surroundings.

Immediately afterwards, countless arrows flew from all directions, as dense as raindrops. Ye Jiuchen wielded his longsword, accurately deflecting each arrow.

At the same time, a group of guards rushed out upon hearing the noise and quickly surrounded the carriage, forming a solid defensive line.

"Protect our master!" the guards shouted in unison, their expressions tense yet resolute.

"Miss..." Qiuqin hid inside the carriage, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She knew a fierce battle was about to unfold.

Dongfang Wan'er felt a pang of regret, realizing she had perhaps corrupted Qiuqin. Just as she was lost in thought, a sharp arrow shot towards the carriage with a "whoosh," startling her.

"Oh no, Qiuqin, jump out of the carriage! It's not safe here!" Dongfang Wan'er shouted anxiously. In the blink of an eye, the two jumped off the carriage, which was instantly struck by an arrow and torn to pieces.

"Haha, everyone, let's attack together! If we capture that woman, we can threaten Ye Jiuchen!" the leader of the men in black said smugly. Although he didn't know Dongfang Wan'er, seeing how much Ye Jiuchen cared about the person in the carriage, he hatched a plan.

After Dongfang Wan'er and Qiuqin jumped off the carriage, they stood to one side...

However, despite their valiant resistance, the enemy was numerous and powerful, and the situation remained extremely critical.

Just then, Ye Jiuchen, wielding a long sword, flashed through the enemy ranks like a ghost. His swordsmanship was incredibly sharp, each strike containing boundless killing intent, chilling his enemies to the bone.

Suddenly, a cunning man in black took advantage of Ye Jiuchen's momentary lapse in attention and launched a fierce attack on Dongfang Wan'er. In this critical instant, Qiu Qin stepped forward without hesitation, using her body to block the fatal blow.

"Qiuqin!" Dongfang Wan'er screamed in terror. Her eyes widened as she watched Qiuqin fall into a pool of blood.

"Miss, I'm alright..." Qiuqin managed to squeeze out a few words with difficulty, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth. But her eyes revealed determination and resilience.

Ye Jiuchen heard Dongfang Wan'er's exclamation, turned around and saw that Qiuqin was seriously injured.

If Qiuqin hadn't taken the sword for Wan'er, then Wan'er would have been injured... He was instantly enraged, his eyes flashing with fury.

His sword energy was like a rainbow, instantly killing several men in black, and then he charged towards the men in black who were attacking Dongfang Wan'er.

"Dark Night, keep an eye on Qiuqin..." Dongfang Wan'er couldn't care less about revealing her skills now!

With a cold look in her eyes, she swiftly made her move, sending dozens of silver needles flying out like lightning with a casual wave of her hand.

Instantly, more than a dozen men in black screamed and fell to the ground.

"Watch out for that woman, she has a hidden weapon..." a man in black shouted in alarm.

"Hmph, do you think you can avoid it just by being careful?" Dongfang Wan'er sneered.

She moved her hands rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of silver needles appeared in her hands.

Then, without hesitation, she shot the silver needles at a group of men in black.

"puff……"

"puff…………"

"puff……"

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

With each muffled thud and the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground, one after another, the men in black fell to the ground.

Before they could even react, they were struck in vital areas by silver needles and lost their lives.

"Retreat..." the leader of the men in black shouted when he saw that things were not going well.

He realized that he had encountered an extremely powerful opponent, and that continuing the fight would only lead to the deaths of more of his men.

However, Dongfang Wan'er would not let them off so easily.

"Trying to escape... Dark Night, leave one alive..." Ye Jiuchen said coldly.

Before he finished speaking, he flashed forward like a ghost towards the group of men in black.

He was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he caught up with the men in black who were trying to escape.

He grabbed one of them by the collar and threw him backward.

The man traced an arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, his fate unknown.

Ye Jiuchen continued to pursue the other men in black, giving them no chance to escape.

Dark Night and his group of guards descended like the Grim Reaper, each strike precisely reaping the lives of their enemies. Their agility and speed made them impossible to see.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Dongfang Wan'er didn't hesitate any longer and flew directly to Qiu Qin's side. She gently helped Qiu Qin up and asked with concern, "Qiu Qin, how are you?"

Qiuqin's face was as pale as paper, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth. She coughed weakly a few times, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and said in a weak voice, "Cough cough, pfft... Miss, I'm fine... I just suffered a minor injury..."

However, before Qiuqin could finish speaking, she fainted from the pain. Dongfang Wan'er was frantic and quickly helped Qiuqin to a large tree to sit down, letting her lean against the trunk. She anxiously called Qiuqin's name while checking her injuries.

Blood was gushing from Qiu Qin's chest wound. If the man in black had been a fraction more precise, Qiu Qin would have died on the spot… Dongfang Wan'er frowned deeply…

At this moment, An Ye and his group of guards had dealt with all the enemies. They stood respectfully to the side, awaiting Ye Jiu Chen's instructions.

Dong Yejiu glanced at the corpses on the ground, a flash of anger and determination in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said to An Ye, "Dispose of these bodies without leaving any trace."

Dark Night nodded and led his guards to begin cleaning up the scene.

Only one person was left alive…

Seeing Qiuqin's severe injuries, Dongfang Wan'er was extremely anxious and couldn't care less about anything else at that moment. She secretly rejoiced that she had brought a medicine kit with her, just in case.

"Someone come here!" Dongfang Wan'er shouted.

Hearing the commotion, An Ye quickly ran over and asked with concern, "Miss Wan'er, what are your orders?"

"Take this." Dongfang Wan'er handed a large piece of cloth to An Ye without hesitation, and said briefly, "Cover yourself up..."

An Ye immediately understood Dongfang Wan'er's intention. He hurriedly called An Yi, and the two worked together to spread out the large cloth, forming a barrier to conceal Dongfang Wan'er and Qiu Qin. In this way, those around could not see what was happening inside.

Dongfang Wan'er carefully opened the medicine box, trying to find the medicine she needed, but she suddenly realized that the items were not enough to meet her immediate needs. So, she cleverly used the medicine box as cover to take out more items from her storage space.
