The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 34: Chapter 34: I’ll Do It

Xia Wenjin squinted her eyes and looked down, perfectly capturing his reactions.

Oh, promising! He’s doing it like he’s got a knack for it.

At this moment, surrounded by lush greenery and blooming flowers, the youth in a moon-white robe lay there with features as picturesque as a painting, even more beautiful than a painted scroll!

Xia Wenjin shook her head, shaking off the admiration in her heart.

It’s just a handsome man, isn’t it? In her past life, she suffered because of this; in this life, she must remember, beautiful men and fierce dogs are not to be approached!

”Search carefully, don’t let that villain escape!”

Xia Wenjin climbed high, and out of the corner of her eye, she could already see someone approaching. She couldn’t be bothered to look at the handsome man portrait anymore and quickly closed her eyes to play dead.

The rustling noises grew closer, mingled with chaotic footsteps.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, ”Look, there’s someone under the tree.”

Then came even more chaotic and clear footsteps.

With his eyes closed, Huangfu Jingchen felt himself surrounded, weapons aimed at him. He couldn’t help but regret his mistake silently; he should have found a high place too, like Xia Wenjin.

At this time, a woman’s voice said, ”Don’t hurt him, don’t hurt him; that’s Miss’s person, quickly see if he’s dead or alive!”

It was Qiao Xi’s voice.

After Wang Wan’er ran away, she immediately cried to her father, and Governor Wang swiftly dispatched the city’s elite guards to hunt down the villain.

Although Wang Wan’er was so scared that her limbs went soft, she still remembered she hadn’t had a taste of the two supreme youths she had just acquired. She instructed Qiao Xi to follow and bring them over if they were alive.

Qiao Xi immediately spotted the youth lying under the tree, surrounded by several soldiers wielding weapons, whom Miss couldn’t stop thinking about. She hurriedly pushed her way in, saying, ”All of you, step aside. With your clumsy hands and feet, if you damage Miss’s person, you couldn’t repay it even with your lives. Let me do it!”

The youth on the green grass was sleeping peacefully, looking very handsome. Qiao Xi swallowed her saliva, her eyes flashing with a bit of secret joy as she extended her hand towards Huangfu Jingchen’s face. If she didn’t take advantage now, where would her chance be in front of Miss?

This youth had a face like White Jade. She wondered what it felt like to touch.

Closer and closer...

Qiao Xi almost couldn’t control her drool again. Just when she was about to touch him, excitement surged in her heart. However, just a finger’s width away, the boy lying quietly and silently on the ground suddenly opened his eyes.

Startled, Qiao Xi hastily withdrew her hand and fell backward from the shock.

Huangfu Jingchen sat up, bewildered, glanced at the surrounding vigilant soldiers, frowned at Qiao Xi who had fallen to the side, and rubbed the back of his neck.

The soldiers immediately thought they understood: Was he knocked out from behind?

”Well... I was just looking at you...” Qiao Xi said guiltily, her eyes darting around, smiling nervously, trying to think of something to cover up. But before she could come up with a good excuse, her wandering eyes suddenly froze in terror, ”Up... there’s someone above!”

Xia Wenjin, playing dead: ”...”

Finally, she was discovered. It wasn’t in vain that she stretched her neck so long!

Qiao Xi thought it was so bizarre. When she first entered the yard and saw dead bodies everywhere, she was so scared she almost couldn’t walk.

Several of Miss’s ”servants” were also dead; they hadn’t escaped with Wang Wan’er in time and were left behind.

But unexpectedly, the two supreme youths that Miss valued the most and wanted the most were both found. The one under the tree was alive, but was the one in the tree... alive?

Having seen many dead bodies and gruesome scenes while following Wang Wan’er, Qiao Xi, though startled, wasn’t afraid and instead commanded, ”Quick, quick, get her down!”

Huangfu Jingchen stood up and said, ”I’ll do it!”

A soldier laughed, ”You little young master, you look frail. Can you climb a tree?”

Huangfu Jingchen cast a cold glance over, and the soldier immediately shut up. Strange, this pretty boy looked very weak, but why was his gaze so intimidating?

Huangfu Jingchen was also perplexed while climbing the tree. He clearly disliked Xia Wenjin, so why did he step up when Qiao Xi called someone else to get her down?

Perhaps Qiao Xi’s actions nauseated him earlier, and the principle of ”do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire” made him intervene, especially since he and Xia Wenjin were somewhat acquainted. Consider it a good deed for the day!

Huangfu Jingchen really climbed up the tree, astonishing the people below, with a soldier exclaiming, ”Not bad, pretty boy! Throw the person down, we’ll catch her.”

The words ”pretty boy” were far from a compliment, and Huangfu Jingchen’s brow furrowed coldly, yet he chose not to argue with these uncouth soldiers.

He reached out to right Xia Wenjin and said blandly, ”She’s unconscious, not dead! I’ll wake her up!”

Xia Wenjin: ”...”

She’s holding it in!

Huangfu Jingchen extended his hand under Xia Wenjin’s nose.

Xia Wenjin thought to herself, the act’s quite believable!

Just as that thought arose, a sudden sharp pain struck her philtrum.

Unprepared, Xia Wenjin yelped in pain. This bastard, he really did it!

Huangfu Jingchen, expressionless, announced to the people below, ”She’s revived!”

Xia Wenjin: ”...”

This playacting to win credit, she reluctantly acquiesced!

Xia Wenjin was furious—saving his sister my foot, was it really him who saved her? She clearly saw her pretending to be unconscious and deliberately pinching her philtrum so hard. It hurt so much, so much. This bastard stinking little boy!

Yet, she couldn’t break character!

With tears of pain, and feeling like biting a piece of flesh off Huangfu Jingchen, Xia Wenjin lifted her teary eyes and, despite her deep reluctance, expressed boundless gratitude, ”Brother, I thought I was going to die. It’s all thanks to you for waking me up!”

Huangfu Jingchen gently patted her head, nonchalantly accepting, ”I’m your brother; who else would save you if not me?”

Xia Wenjin: ”...”

Is she about to cough up blood?

Why has this little brat suddenly become so cunning?

Though Huangfu Jingchen’s face showed no expression, the slight curve of his lips revealed his good mood. He said, ”Can you move? If not, shall I carry you down?”

A glint of mischief flashed in Xia Wenjin’s eyes. She immediately reached out, hugged Huangfu Jingchen, and said coquettishly, ”Can’t move!”

Huangfu Jingchen: ”...”

This is can’t move?

His whole body stiffened.

Miscalculation!

Seeing this boy about to cough up blood out of anger amused him so much that he momentarily forgot this boy was a darn Long Yang, and his instinct nearly made him throw Xia Wenjin off entirely.

But now, so many people were watching from below.

This darn Long Yang, what perfume was on her? Such close proximity made the fragrance drill straight into his nose. Though he didn’t want to admit it, it smelled quite nice.

No, that’s not the main point. The main point is, this darn Long Yang was clinging to his waist like an octopus. He now wished to burn all the clothes this brat had touched!

Calm, calm!

Enduring great disgust, Huangfu Jingchen let Xia Wenjin hold onto him as he jumped down from the tree.

It was a flowering tree, with branches only about one and a half times a person’s height from the ground.

But would this height seem a bit high to ordinary people?

Considering this, Huangfu Jingchen stumbled as he landed and conveniently lifted his knee, aiming a heavy hit at her abdomen to knock this darn Long Yang out!
