To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C83

Before they could even reach the entrance of the alley, a group of black-clothed men blocked their way. Li Mu’s eyes turned deep, revealing a hint of coldness, he turned and said to Yi Yue: “Bring your young miss onto my carriage, I’ll come over later!”

The princes did not get along with each other. It was no longer a new thing to fight openly or secretly.

“Who are you people?” Li Mu asked coldly.

“The person who wants your life!” The other party would not waste time talking to him, so after he said this, all the swords in his hands attacked him.

Li Mu’s guards had also appeared at this moment, or perhaps it could be said that they had never left this place before.

On the other side, Yi Yue was protecting Shi Anran as she walked towards the carriage. As soon as she opened the curtain of the carriage, she threw a fatal strike towards them. Luckily, Yi Yue moved quickly, but in the blink of an eye, they were surrounded.

There were guards protecting her secretly by Shi Anran’s side, but before the guards appeared, there was already an extra person by their side. Looking at Xiang Rongcheng’s gloomy face, Shi Anran inexplicably felt at ease, as though as long as he was here, even if there was any danger, she did not need to worry.

Still angry at Shi Anran for sending the river lamp to Third Prince, Xiang Rongcheng didn’t look at her and deliberately put on a cold attitude.

“You dare to bully two weak girls in groups under the feet of the Son of Heaven? I think you are tired of living!” Xiang Rongcheng’s body was emitting an extremely frightening aura, especially when he thought about it, if he had not been following behind Shi Anran, she might have been injured right now, or even …

The black clothed man did not speak, as though he was determined to win against Shi Anran, and rushed towards him. Who was he, Xiang Rongcheng? How could a generational general put these assassins in his eyes? Xiang Rongcheng clenched his fingers tightly onto the sword hilt, blocking the attack in front of him. Then, with a beautiful turn of his body, he landed behind the black clothed man, and with a sweep of his sword, he injured several people’s right arms.

Although Shi Anran knew that he was proficient in martial arts, her heart was still in her throat.

The majority of the people had already fallen, but Xiang Rongcheng still remained standing as if nothing had happened. The cold glint in his eyes swept across everyone and he said coldly, “Who else wants to die?”

The man in black looked at each other, and in the end, tactfully slipped away.

The rules of the martial arts world were that no one was to pursue a desperate situation. Seeing that the black clothed man had admitted defeat, Xiang Rongcheng did not continue.

Just then, Li Mu ran over. Seeing this, he was surprised: “Anran, are you alright?” Anxious, Li Mu didn’t even say the word lady anymore.

Shi Anran shook her head at him. A normal girl would have already screamed at him when she saw such a bloody scene, but she was not afraid at all.

There were many kinds of fate in this world, but when Li Mu saw so many beautiful women, he did not feel that it was too late for him to hate them. This level of appreciation was definitely higher than his father’s liking for those beautiful Consort Candidate s in the throne room. Li Mu actually had a feeling that he appreciated each other very much for a while.

“Has Third Prince been injured?” Xiang Rongcheng asked indifferently.

Li Mu did not explain any further, opening his mouth: “The young general just saved Anran, I thank the young general on behalf of Anran!”

Anran, Anran, they were calling each other so intimately, how long have they known each other? He was clearly Shi Anran’s fiancé, why did he save his own woman, and even want others to thank him? Xiang Rongcheng held back his anger, but because of his identity, he could not say much, so he just agreed and did not speak anymore.

“You’re injured!” With her sharp eyes, Shi Anran saw that the hand that was holding the sword was bleeding, and the blood red bead was rolling down the sword blade drop by drop.

Xiang Rongcheng glanced at her indifferently, and said without a care: “No problem, as long as Third Prince is well, I will take my leave!”

Shi Anran quickly withdrew her worry, and then turned and looked at Li Mu, her eyes filled with worry, and she heaved a sigh of relief, “Luckily, Third Prince is fine!”

In the imperial family, many things were done involuntarily, and this wasn’t the first time they had been assassinated. Hearing her say that, Li Mu started to blame himself. He frowned and said softly, “Anran, I nearly caused you harm this time, it’s my fault!”

Shi Anran looked at him with her beautiful and mysterious eyes quietly, as if she was extremely surprised by Third Prince’s words, “No one expected such a thing to happen, how could it be Third Prince’s fault? It’s just that people do not have good intentions, the Third Prince must have many eyes, and should not allow others to take advantage of them. ”

Shi Anran knew in her heart that every man had some desire to protect, and after experiencing life and death, it would further increase the relationship between her and the Third Prince.

Li Mu calmly looked at the girl with fair skin and extremely beautiful eyes, as a strange feeling flashed through his heart. His gaze inadvertently stopped at Shi Anran’s chest, seeing Shi Anran looking at him, his face blushed and he explained, “Anran, have you been carrying this jade pendant with you all this time?”

“This gift is extremely precious, Anran will definitely wear it!” The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They had an indescribable and mysterious aura mixed in with each other.

The carriage stopped outside the residence, and Li Mu actually felt that they were travelling extremely quickly. Shi Anran blissfully looked at him, lowered her eyes and smiled, “Anran thanks Third Prince for the gift, I will not be keeping you any longer for tea later!”

“Alright, but I’ll remember this tea!” Li Mu’s gentle smile was extremely gentle and kind, and after seeing Shi Anran in with his eyes, he finally smiled and shook his head as he climbed into the carriage.

After hearing that, Shi Anyi was so angry that she threw the hairpin in her hand. “Just what method did Shi Anran use on them, they all pasted it onto her, one by one, there is still a young general’s fiancé left who is not enough, and now he still wants to fight over the Third Prince with me!”

“Aiyo, you should lower your voice. What’s the point of saying those words to others if they were to hear them?” How could the Third Madam not feel heartache for her daughter? However, she did not have the control over the Third Prince.

“Mother, I am just angry. What’s so good about her? Mother, tell me, what’s so good about her? ” Shi Anyi was so angry that she almost started to cry, as she held onto her mother’s hand, crying incoherently.

The third wife patted her daughter’s shoulder and consoled her, “Shi Anran can use such seductive methods to seduce people, how can you compare to my daughter?”

She wanted to get the Third Prince’s heart, but Shi Anran had beaten her to it. How could she not be angry? She couldn’t lose to anyone, and even more so, she couldn’t lose to the elder sister she hated the most.

When Shi Anran returned to her room, she had already gone to sleep, but a few messy images would always pop up in her mind, all of them relating to Xiang Rongcheng. Thinking about how he had been injured and lost so much blood while fighting the hitman … The more Shi Anran thought about it, the more confused she became, and she finally fell asleep in a daze.
