After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 268 Chapter 268

Shen Qingci's voice was not loud, but almost everyone present was terrified.

Sheng Tingzhao was still struggling to say something, but Shen Qingci stepped on his heart: "Maybe His Highness Fifth is getting impatient, I'll send you down right now!"

Sheng Tingzhao was so painful that he almost passed out, Shen Qingci's kick was not particularly heavy, but it was killing people.

In an instant, the situation took a turn for the worse.

He who thought he was sure of winning in the blink of an eye fell prostrate at her feet.

Sheng Tingzhao had never been so humiliated before.

But the pain in his limbs and bone marrow that went deep into the bone marrow almost made him lose his mind, and he couldn't even say the words of rejection.

At this moment, someone quietly approached the carriage.

Shen Qingci glanced over, "It seems that you didn't take my words seriously."

As soon as the words fell, the guard who originally wanted to approach the carriage and take Wang Baoqin on the carriage as a hostage hadn't had time to realize the meaning of Shen Qingci's words.

In the next instant, a hysterical scream was heard.

Everyone was startled, even the guard who was trying to get close to the carriage couldn't help but take two steps back.

Because just now, with a twist of Shen Qingci's wrist, he unceremoniously pierced the hairpin into Sheng Tingzhao's shoulder blade.

Sheng Tingzhao's screams and the sound of the hairpin breaking were heard almost at the same time.

"pity."

Shen Qingci tsk-tsk: "It's a waste of such a good hairpin of mine."

It is of course difficult for ordinary silver hairpins to pierce Sheng Tingzhao's shoulder blades.

But in order to achieve the purpose of shocking everyone, she injected all the internal force she could erupt into the hairpin while stabbing fiercely.

Although not many, it was more than enough to stab Sheng Tingzhao, this little bastard.

The softer silver hairpin has become as sharp as an arrow, but its texture is like emerald jade.

That's why the moment Sheng Tingzhao was stabbed, it broke into two pieces.

Everyone was startled, and after seeing the broken hairpin, they felt a little lucky, thinking that she had nothing to defend herself.

After all, there were only two silver hairpins left on her head, and they looked much smaller together than the one that had just been discarded, and they might not even be able to defend themselves.

But before their minds became active, Shen Qingci twisted his wrist and unexpectedly conjured a dagger out of nowhere.

The dagger was turned over at her fingertips, with a cold light shining, and it looked like it was the ultimate in cutting iron like mud.

"You say, if I accidentally slipped my hand and poked two holes in your Fifth Highness, what should I do?"

After finishing speaking, Shen Qingci lowered his eyes, looked at Sheng Tingzhao who was already in pain and could only breathe in: "I think this finger is pretty pretty, how about this."

"If I find that your person is dishonest once, I will cut off one of your fingers, and if I find out that you are dishonest twice, how about cutting off your palm?"

Sheng Tingzhao froze.

People no longer dare to act rashly.

Even the guard who tried to get close to the carriage just now felt a little weak at this moment, and quickly took two steps back.

The broken half of the hairpin was still stuck on Sheng Tingzhao's shoulder blade.

Shen Qingci twirled the dagger in his hand, patted the end of the broken hairpin that was half missing, and the collision of the silver hairpin and the black iron made a bang bang sound.

Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

Shen Qingci acted as if nothing happened, with a cold smile on his lips, he looked up at the guards.

"what do y'all think?"

She was obviously smiling, but to these guards, the look in her eyes was more terrifying than the evil ghosts crawling out of Shura Hell!
A group of people knelt down and begged for mercy: "Princess Ning, please hold her hands high!"

Shen Qingci smiled slightly: "When you killed my prince, did you show your hands high?"

In one sentence, everyone choked.

Shen Qingci was too lazy to argue with them, her eyes swept over everyone's faces, and finally said coldly: "Who is the person in charge of you?"

"Princess Ning."

Shen Qingci followed the sound, it turned out to be the guard who had just made up his mind to get close to the carriage.

She felt vaguely familiar.

However, without her asking, the other party has already declared his family name.

"My lord, Wang Yuanqing, is accompanied by His Highness the Fifth Highness."

Shen Qingci remembered.

Wang Yuanqing, Wulang of the Wang family, was born in the main house, and the nephew of the queen's natal family.

He is Sheng Tingzhao's companion, and a leader among the younger generation of the Wang family.

Shen Qingci should have vaguely seen this face at the palace banquet, so he had a vague impression.

According to his status, apart from Sheng Tingzhao, he was indeed the biggest among this group of people.

He is also the most courageous and considerate.

Before others had recovered from the shock of being threatened by Sheng Tingzhao just now, he had already thought of using Wang Baoqin on the carriage to counter Shen Qingci.

"Princess Ning, this is the end of the matter, please don't be obsessed with it. My master never thought of hurting the life of the princess. Why do you have to fight with us now?"

"Besides, King Ning is dead, and the evidence of King An's treason is conclusive. If there is anything wrong with my Highness in Wang Hao's hands, Wang Hao is not afraid of implicating the entire Shen family?"

"My highness has always respected the princess, if the princess is willing to stop, I, Wang Yuanqing, can swear here that my highness will never pursue this!"

Seeing that he was going to continue talking, Shen Qingci lost the patience to listen.

She clenched the dagger tightly in her hand, and said with a sneer, "Noisy."

"If you say one more word, I'll cut off his tongue."

Saying that, Shen Qingci really raised his hand to touch Sheng Tingzhao's face.

Her expression is definitely not just talking!

Seeing this, Wang Yuanqing's knees softened and he knelt directly on the ground, how dare he preach to persuade him to surrender.

"Princess raise your hands high!"

"Just let our Highness go, everything is ordered by the princess!"

Shen Qingci raised his finger and pointed to Ting Lan beside the carriage: "You, drive the carriage over here."

Ting Lan first looked at Wang Yuanqing, seeing that the other party hadn't said anything, then cautiously led the carriage and followed.

Although Ting Lan acted cautiously, she was afraid of offending Shen Qingci's appearance.

But Shen Qingci knew that Ting Lan was his own.

Although the identity of Ting Lan's double informant is easily suspicious.

Perhaps Shen Qingci was in a daze for a moment when she first saw Ting Lan in the woods, but she soon regained her composure.

But she believed that Sheng Tingye used human eyes.

At that time, in front of Sheng Tingzhao, it was difficult for her to make eye contact with Ting Lan, but when she was asked to help Wang Baoqin into the carriage, it was actually a test for Ting Lan.

With the act of handing the drowsy Wang Baoqin to Ting Lan, she calmly stuffed a pack of medicine powder into Ting Lan's hand.

That's how the poison on Sheng Tingzhao's body came from.

He was only focused on scheming Shen Qingci, but he didn't expect that the tea Ting Lan gave him was already poisoned.

Sheng Tingzhao was very contradictory.

When facing Sheng Tingye, he was inferior and bad.

But sometimes, he acts too conceited and arrogant.

He was very sure of the queen's cedar poison, so he never doubted the influence of cedar poison on Shen Qingci, thinking that he was sure of winning.

He also believed in Ting Lan, the secret agent assigned to him by the queen, so he showed his back in front of Ting Lan, so that he was poisoned without knowing it.

He wanted to get rid of the shackles of the queen and the royal family, and he didn't want to be their puppet, but he relied on them in everything, and believed in their strength and giving.

And, to take a step back.

Even if she really misjudged the person and Ting Lan didn't follow her suggestion, even if he didn't have any poison at that time, Shen Qingci could think of other ways.

Knowing that these few days are the critical period of the decisive battle, Shen Qingci did not dare to take it lightly even if he was properly hidden in Xianglan's house.

She was covered from head to toe.

What they saw was as simple as three hairpins on their heads.

Many thoughts just flashed through his mind.

Although Ting Lan was one of his own, but he didn't want to be seen through by these people so early, and it would be convenient for him to take care of her later, Shen Qingci pretended to be annoyed and said, "It's in vain for me to trust you so much before."

After hearing that Lan had already harnessed the carriage, before she could "explain", Shen Qingci directly tied her, Sheng Tingzhao and Sheng Tingjing's hands behind their backs with straw ropes, and twisted them into a ball.

But unlike those two, Ting Lan's end was tied with a slipknot.

Shen Qingci, behind everyone's back, squeezed Tinglan's palm with the cover of his wide sleeves.

Ting Lan understood, and pinched her back.

The purpose of Shen Qingci's binding Ting Lan with the two of them was not only to play for these people and confuse them, but also to let Ting Lan help her pay attention to the movements of the two brothers.

In case these two people broke free.

After the three were tied up, Shen Qingci turned to look at Wang Yuanqing: "Send someone to find out what's going on in Yunzhou City."

Wang Yuanqing responded and quickly pointed out one person to come out.

He knelt down and waited for a long time, but he didn't see Shen Qingci's next words. He couldn't help but look up at Shen Qingci with doubts, and asked, "What else does the princess want?"

Shen Qingci patted the dirt on his hands that he accidentally rubbed just now, and said casually: "The person who brought you retreats twenty feet, and asks those archers to withdraw, I will be with your master, in case he If you accidentally kill the wrong person, you can't blame me."

Hearing this, Wang Yuanqing's back felt cold.

Although she knew that Shen Qingci was good at punching and kicking, she didn't expect her insight to be so powerful that even the archer he had just used gestures to quietly go to ambush on the hillside not far away was aware of it.

"Yes!"

Wang Yuanqing was dripping with cold sweat.

Shen Qingci snorted coldly: "There are more."

"What did I just say?"

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, but that smile was more terrifying to Wang Yuanqing at this moment than the captivating black and white impermanence!
Before he had time to beg for mercy, Shen Qingci raised the dagger and stabbed Sheng Tingzhao's instep.

The next moment, Sheng Tingzhao's screams resounded throughout the forest.

And he couldn't bear the severe physical and mental pain any longer, he followed in Sheng Tingjing's footsteps and passed out.

Seeing her ruthless attack piercing Sheng Tingzhao's instep with a dagger, her threatening words before were like a thunderbolt resounding over everyone's heads——

"If I find that your person is dishonest once, I will cut off one of your fingers, and if I find out that you are dishonest twice, how about cutting off your palm?"

Sheng Tingzhao's hand was cut behind his back, and it was inconvenient for Shen Qingci to strike, so he simply stabbed the dagger into his foot!
What she said before was really not just words!

For a while, there were already some unsteady archers not far away, and even Wang Yuanqing, who issued this instruction, felt a sharp pain that his limbs had been chopped off.

God knows if he returns to the capital and tells the queen and everyone in the Wang family that it was because of his order that the fifth prince was severely injured, will he still be able to keep his head!

It would be fine if Sheng Tingzhao could be saved by taking the risk, but if there was a slight mistake, he would be the first one to be buried with him!

Wang Yuanqing didn't dare to take any more risks, he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Princess, please spare me! My little one promises that this kind of thing will never happen again! Please hold your hands high!"

Shen Qingci glanced at him lightly, and with a lift of her wrist, she directly pulled out the dagger that had just been inserted into Sheng Tingzhao's instep.

Sheng Tingzhao, who had passed out completely this time, couldn't even scream.

Seeing her holding the dagger still dripping with Sheng Tingzhao's blood, Wang Yuanqing lowered his head even lower.

There was no need for him to raise his hand to give an order, the guards had already retreated twenty feet in accordance with Shen Qingci's order.

"What should I do next, please tell the princess!"

Shen Qingci pulled the corner of Sheng Tingzhao's spotless brocade robe and wiped the dagger clean, then turned his head and said indifferently: "No more, step back."

Hearing this, Wang Yuanqing almost knocked his head over.

Is this gone?

For a moment, he thought he seemed to have heard it wrong.

Although he was afraid of the movements of Shen Qingci's hands, but he was afraid that he had misheard and offended Shen Qingci, so he had no choice but to ask, "Is there no other orders for the princess?" ?”

Shen Qingci put away the dagger, and glanced at him impatiently: "It's gone, get out."

Wang Yuanqing froze and almost vomited blood on the spot.

For a moment, he couldn't understand what Shen Qingci was thinking.

In this case, after she captured Sheng Tingzhao, there were clearly too many things that could and should be done.

Not to mention anything else, even if it is to escape.

But she chose to stay put!

Moreover, he just ordered people to go to Yunzhou City to inquire about the news.

What is she... on earth going to do?
Wang Yuanqing's mind was spinning quickly, and he was circling a lot of confusion, but under the intimidation of Shen Qingci, he had no choice but to suppress it, and quickly retreated twenty feet away under the signal of her eyes.

Shen Qingci didn't even look at him, she was sure that everyone was gone, so she walked a few steps towards the side of the slope, and glanced in the direction of Luofengpo from afar.

However, in the next moment, a muffled groan was heard.

Shen Qingci followed the sound and turned his head to look, only to realize that it was Sheng Tingjing who woke up leisurely.

It seemed that he hadn't figured out his current situation for a while, and Sheng Tingjing, who had just opened his eyes, was still confused and dazed, but he regained his senses the moment he met Shen Qingci, who was standing condescendingly in front of him.

"It's you!"

He gritted his teeth and let out a low snort, his scarlet eyes were already full of hatred and anger, perhaps mixed with emotions that Shen Qingci couldn't understand.

Seeing him struggling hard, his throat rolling and about to open his mouth, Shen Qingci strode forward and knocked him unconscious with a hand-cutter.

"An eyesore."

She snorted coldly and stood up slowly.

The raging wind and snow rolled up her skirt and fluttered. Her slender figure was wrapped in the wind and looked graceful and exquisite, as if it could be blown away by the wind at any time.

A delicate flower that looked clearly so weak, but with a glance over it, Wang Yuanqing and the others were so scared that they subconsciously held their breath.
