Chapter 511 Rejection
But when Yun Xianning said the words "protect Molan from being violated", it seemed that a bell broke through the fog in Shalan's mind and woke her up.

Molan.

The place where she grew up, the place where her mother abandoned her self-esteem and life to protect, the hometown of her and her younger brother.

Once he kills this Princess of Qin, she will definitely be uprooted by the Qin State... and destroyed.

A chill suddenly rose from the bottom of Shalan's heart, and she pinched the poisonous needle with her fingertips.

She tried her best to protect Molan, her brother's throne and the safety of the people, but this woman just needed a light word and acted coquettishly with her father, and she might be able to do it.

She bet with her own life on Xie Changqing's tenderness and reluctance, and finally made Xie Changqing bend his back for her after a near-death experience.

She thought she had tamed him.

He is his subordinate.

But the woman just stood there without saying anything. She glanced at Xie Changqing quietly, and Xie Changqing hesitated.

She fought with all her strength, and others could snatch it away or destroy it easily.

Anger and powerlessness intertwined in the bottom of my heart, and a bitterness seemed to rush straight into my throat.

Shalan, who had always been tenacious and fearless, couldn't help but pull out a wry smile at this moment.

But she knew she couldn't laugh like this, because others would only be more proud and cheer for victory with their heads held high.

Shalan raised her head, and her eyes, which were filled with so much astringency, soon became as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

She looked at Yun Xianning expressionlessly, "How do I know that you will definitely keep your word?"

"As soon as I became a princess, it was natural that my words would be irresistible."

"Ah……"

Shalan laughed softly: "Believing others' empty promises is the stupidest thing in the world."

Yun Xianning frowned: "Then what do you want?"

"I have a way to make sure you keep your word -" Shalan said coldly, "Stretch out your hand."

Yun Xianning frowned again.

Her request was bizarre.

But Yun Xianning still raised her hand in order to achieve her goal.

There was a hint of smile in Shalan's brown eyes, she raised her white plain hand and quickly tapped Yun Xianning's palm.

Yun Xianning's expression suddenly changed, and she cried out in pain, "Ah - you, what did you do?"

"Princess!"

The two guards following her immediately stepped forward and protected Yun Xianning from left to right.

At this time, a stone came from a distance and hit Shalan's wrist directly, making a very clear and loud "click" sound.

Shalan was spun around by the force of the stone and hit the stone pier at the corner of the street. She fell to the ground and her face instantly turned pale.

The broad fur fell off, and the long brown hair spread over the entire back.

Xie Changqing, who was walking quickly, felt his feet stiff for a moment, and his face turned gloomy.

He couldn't find Shalan, so he thought about searching carefully at the place where they separated at the beginning to see if he could find any clues.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived here, they heard Yun Xianning crying out in pain.

There was no light at that dark street corner. He only saw a short, fat figure standing in the dark, doing something to Yun Xianning, so he kicked away the stones under his feet without hesitation. Who knew that the short, fat figure was Shalan? !

The two guards were still calling loudly for the princess.

Yun Xianning fainted.

One of the guards shouted, "Catch this bitch!" Immediately, all the guards of the princess palace who were guarding Xiao Yi's carriage rushed forward, and swiped their blades towards Shalan's face.

Xie Changqing reacted hurriedly and kicked the tip of the knife away.

"Thank you, Master!" the guard of the Princess Mansion shouted coldly with a livid face: "What are you doing? This woman has hurt the princess and must be taken back immediately for interrogation. If something happens to the princess, can you bear it?"

Xie Changqing stiffly said "Wait a moment", half-crouched in front of Shalan and asked: "What did you do?"

Shalan lowered her head and looked at her red and swollen wrist without saying anything.

If you can't exert any strength there, is it broken?

"say!"

Xie Changqing pinched Shalan's chin and forced her to look up, but when he met Shalan's moist eyes, he subconsciously relaxed, but his tone was still tough: "Tell me, what are you doing? What’s wrong with the princess!”

But Shalan pursed her lips tightly, not making any sound, and just stared at him with her moist glazed brown eyes.

And the moisture gathered little by little, and more and more, but she raised her head to hold it up, and she didn't shed a single tear.

Xie Changqing froze, and after a moment he looked away and stood up.

"The safety of the princess is the most important thing." Xie Changqing said calmly: "This place is very close to the Duke of Liang's palace, and my fourth brother is also very skilled in medicine. You can ask him to take a look first to avoid anything happening to the princess's body."

"As for this person, I recognize him, and I will personally watch over him. If the princess has any shortcomings, she will not be able to escape."

The guards looked at each other.

Xie Changqing's words were obviously correct, but he could still tell from Shalan's long brown hair that she was the pot-bellied woman who was following Xie Changqing just now.

Naturally, he would be afraid that Xie Changqing would protect and allow this woman to run away.

So some people sent Yun Xianning straight to Liang Guogong's mansion, while a few others stayed with Xie Changqing, obviously for surveillance purposes.

Xie Changqing ignored them and bent down to help Shalan.

Shalan's face was pale, and cold sweat was already forming on her forehead, but she clenched her teeth without making any sound.

Her coat and skirt were already wet, and there was a faint smell of blood rushing into her nostrils.

It's just that because I wore heavy clothes in winter, the blood stains were not visible.

But Xie Changqing knew that Shalan's current situation was not right. He carried her to the carriage found by his men with a calm face, and took her back to Duke Liang's Mansion as quickly as possible.

On the way back, Shalan leaned against the car wall with her eyes closed.

Her gesture clearly told Xie Changqing that she refused to communicate.

There were faint traces of blood oozing out from under her plain white coat and skirt. Shalan's face was getting whiter and whiter, but her mouth was clenched tightly like a clam shell, and she didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end.

She prevented Xie Changqing from asking her coldly what she had done to Yun Xianning, and her indifference also prevented Xie Changqing from asking about her physical condition.

Xie Changqing closed his eyes depressedly and urged: "Faster."

The carriage swayed forward in the crowd.

There were so many people that the car couldn't go very fast at all.

Shalan's face became paler and paler, and the blood stains under her body became thicker and thicker.

Xie Changqing finally couldn't hold it any longer, stopped the carriage, picked up Sha Lan and hid in a dark alley with few people, and returned to Duke Liang's Mansion over the eaves and walls.

Shallan kept her eyes closed and showed no reaction.

When they entered Duke Liang's mansion, Shalan's plain white coat and skirt had been completely stained red, and the blood even stained half of Xie Changqing's body.

The guards guarding the door were stunned when they saw them all, and immediately ran and shouted.

Xie Zhaozhao had previously asked the steward to spend more money to keep Po Wen at home, but now he was shocked to hear the news, and the midwifery women and Po Wen rushed to Shalana's yard as quickly as possible.
