Xiao Qingran quickly retracted the black metal threads in her sleeves and looked at the five corpses lying in the alley across from her. Her eyes grew darker and darker as she sneered, "Su Qian Xing, you really care about everything. What a pity ?"

Unfortunately, I won't be at your mercy like before.

She shook her head and walked forward. She reached out and pulled out the sword from the assassin's waist and stabbed it into his chest. After she was done, she sighed to herself, "I hope that man is safe and sound."

"Is it This King that you wish to be safe?" A man's cold voice came from behind him.

Xiao Qing's body suddenly stiffened as she turned her head in shock only to see a cold-faced man dressed in a blue robe standing at the entrance of the alleyway, with tassels and bits of gold hanging from his waist.

Su Qian Han? Why are you here? "

Didn't this man just get lured away by Li Er?

Su Qianhan stepped forward and blocked the entrance of the alleyway. Her cold gaze swept across the corpses on the ground. Her gaze gently swept across a spot of blood on their temples. Her tone was one of ridicule.

"This King has always wondered why the number of people who assassinated This King has decreased in recent days. He even thought that the crown prince had forgotten about This King due to his busy schedule. Now, it seems like there is someone who wants This King to take a break."

This woman was quite smart. She had used this sword wound to cover up their fatal wounds. If he hadn't personally witnessed it when he was suspicious, he wouldn't have blamed the past few days on her, right?

Xiao Qingran pursed her lips. Her eyes flickered but didn't say anything. The hands behind her back tightened as she thought of a way to escape.

Before she understood the situation, she didn't want to have any substantial contact with this man. She had secretly concealed it a few times, but she didn't expect to be discovered this time.

"So? [Why would Miss Xiao, who is the Crown Princess's consort, do such a thing?] When he said the word 'Crown Princess', the mockery in his eyes became deeper. He spoke with indifference, "I am afraid the Crown Prince doesn't know about this, does he?"

"No." He paused before narrowing his eyes dangerously. With a cold glint in his eyes, he continued, "More accurately, he might not even know that you know martial arts."

Not only that, due to his confrontation with Su Qian Xing, he had also investigated the people around Su Qian. However, he didn't know that this woman could fight. From the looks of her movements, she wasn't just good at kung fu.

Ah, her concealment was really deep!

Xiao Qing's gaze darkened. When he mentioned Su Qianxing's name, a trace of coldness flashed across her eyes.

Su Qian Xing didn't know that in his previous life, she had worked hard to create a gentle and generous appearance for him. Even though she did everything for his throne, she never made a move behind the scenes.

Luckily she hadn't used all her trump cards yet, otherwise how would she take her revenge now?!

Since the heavens had given her the chance to be reborn, she must drag that ungrateful man from his high position into an endless hell!

"Three times in a row, you really appeared in time every time." Su Qianhan walked forward step by step, the glint in his eyes grew more and more dangerous. "Speak, what are you planning?!"

Xiao Qingran looked at the man in front of her. The cold aura emitted from his body was frightening, but she was not timid at all. She half-jokingly said: "If I said that I helped Your Highness because I adored you, would you believe me?"

"Love?" Su Qian laughed coldly.

To him, this phrase was laughable. The woman in front of him had just helped Su Qianxing remove him from the position of crown prince half a month ago, and now she was saying 'adoration' to him?

When Xiao Qingran saw the mockery in his eyes, she could tell what he was thinking. However, he wasn't the only one who didn't believe this. Even she didn't believe in this kind of excuse.

However, she wasn't completely lying. It was true that she wanted to help him, but it wasn't because of this superficial reason.

The real reason was that he probably wouldn't believe it even if he said so himself.

"I only solved a few problems. Your highness can think that I have a goal, so you don't need to care about me, and you don't need to feel that you're giving me a favor." "What I just said was just a joke. I know that I don't dare to covet the prince with my identity."

Xiao Qingran's gaze flickered as she quietly leaned to the side. It seemed that she was not used to speaking to this man at such a close distance, but this step back seemed like she was admitting defeat, but it was actually just a gauge of distance.

She looked calm on the surface, but as she spoke to Su Qianhan, she moved her left foot slightly backwards, maintaining a posture of rushing out, "Besides, it's just a coincidence this time. Did Your Highness just say 'before'? I don't know what that means. "

Su Qian Han's tone was cold, but he did not take her actions seriously, "You want to lie to me?! You think that you can escape from This King's hands? "

She knew that if she were to face him head on, she definitely would not be able to defeat him. She pursed her lips: "Prince is a man of honor. I am alone now. Prince won't make things difficult for a weak girl like me, right?"

Su Qian laughed coldly. He glanced at the corpse on the ground and repeated what she had said, "Weak girl?"

A girl that could wipe out so many lives on her own was a weak girl?

The corner of Xiao Qing's mouth twitched unnaturally, her hanging hand tightly clenched: "What does Your Highness want?"

In any case, he had saved him just now. Although he didn't expect the other party to accept his favor, this person shouldn't be able to repay the kindness with enmity, right?

As if he had guessed what she was thinking, Su Qian let out a cold snort, "Not only was the one who slandered me half a month ago for murdering the son of Minister Li, but he is also being humiliated in court. What should I do about it?"

He had worked hard for so many years, but he didn't expect to lose to this woman so many times.

Xiao Qing Ran's body stiffened as a peculiar light flashed in her eyes. She lowered her voice as if to herself: "I will definitely return what I owe you back to you."

Su Qian Han frowned, because her voice was soft and did not catch her words, "What did you say?"

Xiao Qing then raised her head and denied, "No ? "Nothing."

She took a deep breath. "The prince has a broad mind. Since the day he was bestowed the title of Crown Prince, he has been plotted against in many different ways. He must have been calm all these years."

"You never put those civil officials in your eyes, so why would you take their rumors to heart? Naturally, you wouldn't be able to talk about being 'humiliated'."

This man had always been swift and decisive. Not to mention the current emperor, even the civil officials and military officials were wary of him. Even if he lost his power, some of them wanted to use this opportunity to please Su Qianxing but did not dare to go overboard.

Su Qian laughed coldly, "You do know this king."

He really didn't care about what those people thought, but it was a fact that the woman in front of him had schemed against him.

"But ?" He lowered his voice and said with a hint of killing intent, "This King hates smart women, but also hates self-righteous women!"

Xiao Qing was startled. She watched him turn his palm into a claw and try to grab her from the side. She barely dodged the shoulder blade attack, and instinctively shot out the black iron wire from her sleeve in order to hit the heart of the man in front of her.

The killing intent on Su Qian Han's body rapidly grew as he gathered inner Qi in his hand and attacked.

However, Xiao Qing Ran's reaction was even faster than his. She quickly pulled back the black iron wire half a second after she made her move, but because she subconsciously made a move, the hidden weapon carried ten percent of its offensive power.

At the same time, Su Qianhan's fist had arrived.

Xiao Qing Qing could only barely avoid the fatal point of his heart as she used her left shoulder to receive his punch.

With a 'kacha' sound, the shoulder blade broke into pieces, and the attack power of the Darksteel Thread was reflected back at the same time.

"Wu ~" The combination of internal injuries and external injuries caused Xiao Qing to groan as her face instantly turned pale.

Su Qian Han's next attack stopped as well. The shock in his eyes turned into confusion. He looked at the woman who was pushed against the wall and frowned.

He had just seen clearly that this woman had pulled back her weapon because she was afraid of hurting him. Since she knew martial arts, she should also know that it was impossible to take back a weapon that she used all her strength on.

Xiao Qing Ran's expression was extremely unsightly. Her lips even had a trace of white. She ruthlessly suppressed the sweet smell that was about to burst out of her chest and forced out a smile: "Your highness has beaten me too, has your anger dissipated?"

Although her face was pale, her smile gave off a feeling of brilliance.

However, Su Qianhan's face became even more unsightly because of the smile. This was the first time he did not make a move on a woman.

This woman was truly not pleasing to the eyes!

"If Your Highness can calm down, can you let me leave now?" Xiao Qingxi held one of her hands to her chest and breathed lightly, her breath carrying a slight chill.

Su Qian Han's gaze swept across her pale lips. He was very clear on the power of his fist just now. If he didn't treat her shoulder in time, she would be crippled.

She really had some backbone. She was clearly in so much pain that her face had paled, yet she was still forcing herself to speak with her.

"Leave? "Sure." Su Qian laughed coldly and suddenly pressed his hand against the wall, "I beg this king."

Did she really think that she would be able to escape his question just from this punch?

He didn't realize that this woman was so wild and unruly before this.

Such a clear look in her eyes was not something that a vicious woman should have. A woman like her should be stomped on by others as she prostrated herself lowly.

Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment. She did not expect this person to make such a request to her. Her brain short-circuited and a deep sense of humiliation overcame her.

She clenched her fists as she stared at the man, cold sweat beginning to gather on her forehead due to the pain. "Prince, this request is too difficult. I can't do it."

She had always had a clear conscience when she did things as she pleased. Surviving in this chaotic world, she had her own set of rules and never asked for anything from others.

"Can't do it?" Su Qianhan laughed deeply in a low voice. His lips curled up into a bloody and cruel smile, "Woman, do you really think that I can't do anything to you?"

As long as he wanted to, he could strangle her at any time!
