After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 142 Grudges and Pursuit
A dozen or so dark figures flashed through the woods like the wind, appearing like ghosts in the bend of the gorge.

Seeing this, Nuanyu understood everything. She had many enemies, but recently, only one person wanted her dead.

"Since you're here, come out, Princess Xiangfang."

How did the younger sister guess it was the older sister?

Princess Xiangfang emerged triumphantly from behind the assassin, a cold smile on her face, her eyes filled with venomous killing intent.

Judging from her demeanor, she didn't want to leave alive and couldn't implicate others.

Shi Nuanyu suppressed her unease, her face showing no sign of panic.

"The only one who's jealous of me is you. I really can't think of anyone else who would risk killing me, but..."

She pretended to ponder, "Assassinating a member of the royal family would result in the extermination of nine generations of the family, wouldn't it? Is Prince Anchang planning a rebellion?"

Those around him were horrified upon hearing this. The Prince of Anchang was usually gentle and kind, but they never expected that he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Princess Xiangfang looked disdainful. "It's common for accidents to happen during competitions. My sister has done too many bad things. I don't think he would mind if you died in Xuefeng Mountain."

he?
Shi Nuanyu grasped the key words, her mind racing as she cast a fixed gaze upon them.

Her delicate brows furrowed. "Was someone colluding with you in the assassination attempt on me?"

Logically, the instructor who had been protecting them should have realized they were in danger by now; in any case, she had to stall for time and wait for rescue.

"My sister wants to know, hahaha..."

Princess Xiangfang laughed maliciously, "Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. My sister is truly pitiful, completely unaware that she has been plotted against by the man beside her."

Should your sister pity you, or laugh at your ignorance?

A cold wind howled through the mountains, and wisps of mist rose from the bend of the gorge.

"who is it?"

Shi Nuanyu's face was gloomy, and her eyes were filled with a chilling coldness.

"Oh dear, my sister is getting anxious," Princess Xiangfang shook her head smugly. "At the royal training ground, who exactly has the power to collude with me from the inside?"

"What should I do? I can't guess it!"

A name came to mind, but before she could say it, Treasure retorted angrily.

"Impossible. The Grand Preceptor would never betray the princess. Don't try to sow discord."

The little girl was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she wanted to go up and bite her.

Shi Nuanyu patted her shoulder, signaling her to be quiet.

Her eyes were no longer as calm as before; her fists were clenched, and her voice trembled as she questioned him.

"When did you two collude together?"

Seeing her heartbroken appearance, Princess Xiangfang felt extremely pleased.

Why did she gain the favor of the Imperial Advisor?
Why does he find her disgusting even to look at her?
She was consumed by jealousy and wished they would become enemies.

"My sister is completely unaware that the Imperial Advisor and I have already expressed our feelings for each other. She only stays by your side because of the threat from the royal family."

"How pitiful! My sister gave him her heart, only to be betrayed in return."

Shi Nuanyu did not respond, and sadly lowered her eyes.

The fog is getting thicker and thicker, we can't wait any longer. The enemy is strong and we are weak. If we wait any longer, our situation will only become more dangerous, and we won't even be able to find a way to escape.

She pretended to be sad and took a few steps forward, secretly making a running gesture with her hands behind her back.

"How could you betray me? How can you do this to me?"

Upon seeing the hand signal, the group quietly gripped their weapons, preparing to flee.

"Princess, they are waiting for an opportunity to escape."

Their little tricks are no match for professional assassins.

Princess Xiangfang's face twisted in rage. "Good sister, even now you're still so restless. Kill me."

At a command, the assassins attacked in a swarm. Niu Luo rushed to Shi Nuanyu's side and, together with Zhenbao, shielded her behind him.

"Princess, find a chance to escape quickly, and I will protect you with my life."

Shi Nuanyu, clutching her short dagger tightly, was protected behind them. She reached for the Cloud Piercing Arrow at her waist and released it swiftly. White smoke shot straight into the sky, accompanied by a sharp explosion.

"You all have to get out of here alive too." It was the same last time, and it will be the same this time. They can't just sit and wait to die. She can't hold them back, and she can't abandon any of them.

"Niu Liang, you and the others protect Wan Duo and Zhang Xiuxiu."

Princess Xiangfang seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, "Escape? Where can you escape to? Today it's either you or me who dies."

Damn.

This was the first time Shi Nuanyu had ever felt such disgust for someone. Surrounded by assassins with no way to escape, she might as well fight to the death.

She drew her bow and shot arrows behind the two men to assist them; because of the close distance, she was able to hit one or two of them.

"Princess, to the right."

Treasure shouted, "Don't underestimate her because she's small. She's ruthless and deadly when fighting the assassins."

Shi Nuanyu instinctively shot an arrow to the right, the arrow piercing the assassin's heart like a whirlwind.

Her heart skipped a beat as she avoided the assassin's unseeing gaze; in this life-or-death moment, fear was not an option.

"Princess, don't be afraid, Treasure is with you."

Treasure and Niu Luo retreated to her side, their fair faces stained with blood that shouldn't have been there.

Looking at his teammates not far away, he saw that they were no match for the powerful assassin and were already injured.

"To catch the thief, you must first catch the king. Are you confident you can capture her?"

Treasure nodded firmly, "Whatever the princess wants, Treasure can make it happen."

"Leave it to you."

With all ten arrows used up, Shi Nuanyu followed closely behind the two, nimbly dodging the incoming longswords.

As they drew closer, Princess Xiangfang roared in panic, "Stop them!"

"Stop them!" Shi Nuanyu ordered, rushing forward to wrestle with Princess Xiangfang.

Neither of them knew martial arts, yet they used brute force to strike each other.

After several struggles, Shi Nuanyu grabbed her hair fiercely, pressed her down with all her might, and pulled out a short dagger from her waist, holding it to her neck.

"Stop! If you don't stop, I will take her life."

The assassins froze for a moment, then their attacks became even more ferocious.

"Hahaha, they are acting on the orders of the King. Do you really think that holding me hostage will be useful?"

Princess Xiangfang laughed bitterly, questioning resentfully, "Why do they all protect you and love you? Shi Nuanyu, why do you get their love without ever working for it..."

"Shut up," Shi Nuanyu snapped, "I don't have time to listen to your wailing."

The hostages she went to so much trouble to capture were useless; were they really going to die here today?

Princess Xiangfang looked up in astonishment; she understood everything.

"Just now you were stalling for time; you did not believe the Imperial Advisor had betrayed you."

Shi Nuanyu gripped her hair tightly, "I'm not stupid. Tell me, how can we make them stop?"

She's not stupid; she doesn't believe a few words of sowing discord from others.

She had been made a fool of. Realizing this too late, Princess Xiangfang was furious and tore her hair off with all her might.

"Kill her, kill her."

The assassin came with a sword. Shi Nuanyu's hands were bound, and she could not break free. She turned around and plunged the dagger into Princess Xiangfang's abdomen.

"Princess, be careful."

Suddenly, Wan Duo, who had broken away from the crowd, rushed in front of her. A sharp sword pierced through her arm, but Wan Duo held onto the assassin's hand tightly.

Shi Nuanyu broke free from her restraints, picked up a stone, and smashed it hard on the assassin's head.

Losing all resistance, Wan Duo's body fell backward. Shi Nuanyu quickly grabbed her and pulled her back. Her feet lost their footing, and she fell uncontrollably into the abyss.

"Princess……"

Hearing the desperate shouts from the cliff, she thought she saw someone coming to help.

Unexpectedly, such a melodramatic plot as falling off a cliff also happened to her.
