The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady

Ouyang Shaochen and Murong Xue looked like an intimate couple under the perfect complement between his white gown and her pale blue long dress.

The scene deeply stung the eyes of Ye Yichen. “How dare they interlock the fingers of each other, and totally ignore him even knowing the rite that body contact is strictly forbidden between men and women?”

Ye Yichen face turned as black as thunder, and clenched his hands under his sleeves, with strong and oppressive fury around him, which nearly took Qin Yuyan’s last breath. She slowly raised her head and gazed at him, hurriedly asking, “What’s up, darling?”

“I’m fine!” Ye Yichen suddenly came to his senses as his fury dissipated in an instant. Then, he strode forward without looking back. His perfunctory explanation echoed in the wind, “I’m going back to the capital for further discuss details regarding the war with the generals since that three hundred thousand soldiers’ lives are no trivial matter. You might as well stay here to recuperate!”

Seeing his determination, Qin Yuyan gritted angrily. “The square has been turned into ruins, and the mountain resort is no longer as beautiful as before. So what’s the point in staying here? ”

“He wants to get back to the capital city without me. Is he planning to leave me here and let me run my own course?”

“Yichen belongs to me, and I belong to him as well. How can he leave me here alone without taking my feelings into consideration?”

With beams of hatred in her eyes, Qin Yuyan took fast hold on the handrails of her bamboo chair. Her finger joints turned slightly pale, and veins on the back of her hands stood out.

‘Whoosh!’ A whipping sound rang as if air was sliced by a blade. A dozen men in black showed up unexpectedly, who fiercely directed their swords towards Murong Xue, Ouyang Shaochen and Ye Yichen.

They were all in black cloaks and balaclavas, same as those ghosts on the wooden snakes brought here by Cang Qiong.

“They are the escaped killers of Nan Jiang. How dare they come and seek revenge now. Ignorant morons!”

Murong Xue curved her lips upwards, and was going to draw her sword against them when she saw her enemies turn their wrists and draw back their swords before they unexpectedly sprinkled the powder grasped in their left palms on her.

Realizing the severe situation, Murong Xue immediately stepped back, and repeatedly spun the silk handkerchief in her hand, spilling all the powder back to the men in black.

After being exposed to the powder, those men suddenly stiffened as their swords fell to the ground at once. They choked themselves, and whined painfully. Extravasated blood oozed from their noses, mouths and ears as they staggered and fell to the ground dead.

Murong Xue squinted and thought, “Shameless perverts!  Knowing that they can’t kill me aboveboard, now they are trying to assassinate me by sprinkling poison.”

“Watch out, Yichen!” Hearing this anxious reminder, Murong Xue looked up, only to find that although Ye Yichen had killed several men in black in front of him, an assassinator unexpectedly sneaked up on him, and violently sent a slap towards him.

Seeing Ye Yichen was going to be punched, Qin Yuyan rushed forward on her bamboo chair and jumped on him. With a dull thud of ‘Bang’, the blow from the man in black was slapped at Qin Yuyan, who spat out a mouthful of blood along with a ‘poof’.

“Yuyan!”Ye Yichen screamed, and turned to Qin Yuyan. Meanwhile he mercilessly sent a slashing slap towards that man in black.

The man in black suddenly stretched out his left hand and violently sprinkled the powder in his palm on Ye Yichen the moment before he was slapped.

“Watch out!” Qin Yuyan screamed as she forcefully pushed Ye Yichen away. As a result, all gray powder were sprinkled on her face as her miserable shriek resounded through the sky, “Ah! My eyes! Something got into my eyes!”

Falling to the ground, Qin Yuyan covered her eyes with her hands and rolled back and forth painfully. Blood oozed from between her fingers.

“Send for a doctor here, now!” Ye Yichen’s voice resounded through the skies.

“Yes, sir!” said the servants hurriedly, who obeyed his order and went for a doctor.

Seeing Qin Yuyan in extreme pain, Ye Yichen hesitated for a while before he finally squatted down to hold her up, and strode to the guest courtyard. His gentle comfort sounded in the wind, “Don’t be afraid, it’s nothing serious. You’ll recover soon.”

Seeing the agonized look on Qin Yuyan’s face, Murong Xue slightly raised her eyebrows. “She keeps getting injured almost every day since she came to Qingyan Kingdom. There’s definitely a curse upon her here in Qingyan Kingdom!”

Now she is injured again while her previous injuries haven’t healed. So it’s impossible for her to recover within several months.

“She always gets herself injured, which is proportional to her malevolence. Could it be the punishment from God for her misdeeds?”

“If that’s true, I really need to thank god for his fairness.”

Several guards stepped forward and pulled the corpses of those men in black. Their shadows grew longer under the afterglow of the setting sun.

Murong Xue suddenly realized that it was getting late. She turned to look at Ouyang Shaochen and said softly, “Let’s go back to the capital since all escaped killers of Nan Jiang have been wiped away!”

Ouyang Shaochen simply nodded at her suggestion, and walked forward slowly. His eyes ran down all of the corpses from Nan Jiang with a meaningful look on his face.

Seeing Ouyang Shaochen and Murong Xue walk out of the square abreast, Yuan Fangfei directly grabbed Murong Ji by the back of his collar, and lifted him just like lifting an item while rushing forward, mumbling “It’s getting late. We should get back as well!”

There was no point in staying since all of the people she know had set off. So she might as well go with them.

Beaten by Yuan Fangfei, Murong Ji ached all over, and he also felt weak and a bit dazed. He forcefully struggled to break the bond between them, yet he failed. Therefore, Murong Ji had no other options but to let her stride forward with his collar in her hand.

One of the guest courtyards of the summer resort was ablaze with lights by nightfall. An imperial physician was sitting in front of Qin Yuyan’s bed, cautiously checking on her injury.

Ye Yichen turned sullen upon hearing the oppressive and painful cries of Qin Yuyan.

The curtain of the inner room was lifted afterwards as the imperial physician stepped out.

Ye Yichen hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “How is it, doc?”

The physician lowered his voice, “Your Highness, the powder sprinkled on Miss Qin’s eyes was the fiery poison from Nan Jiang, which is highly toxic, and will generate fire in the presence of water.”

“What do you mean?” Ye Yichen interrupted him with a bewildered gaze.

The imperial physician faked a cough awkwardly and thought to himself. “I may as well jump to the conclusion since Prince Jing doesn’t have medical knowledge, and won’t understand my explanation about the fiery poison no matter how detailed it is.”

“I mean that Miss Qin’s eyes were burnt by the fiery poison, and she won’t be able to see anything with them from now on.”

“How can it be?” asked Ye Yichen, who narrowed his eyes in an instant.

The physician let out a sigh and explained, “The fiery poison is highly toxic and it generates fire in the presence of water. So Miss Qin’s eyes were burnt at the moment it got into her eyes.”

“How vicious those people from Nan Jiang are!”
