Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 1242 - 1239_1

Against Gong Zixuan’s fierce attack, Xiao’er did not back down!

Aside from the times she was pregnant and in confinement, she did not practice martial arts, but she was very diligent in practicing martial arts in her training space!

Concentrating intently, Xiao’er tackled Gong Zixuan and his subordinates, and quickly dealt with his subordinates.

Gong Zixuan couldn’t believe that even when they teamed up to attack Xiao’er, she didn’t lose any ground!

Glancing in the direction of Shangguan Xuanyi, Shangguan Xuanyi had already dealt with several of Gu Xuan’s subordinates, leaving only Gu Xuan and his three subordinates!

This couple, they are both freaks!

Each one was far superior in martial arts skills!

How did they train to reach such levels!

With only Gong Zixuan left to deal with, Xiao’er’s attack was even fiercer!

She wanted to deal with Gong Zixuan as quickly as possible, and then assist Shangguan Xuanyi!

The martial arts skills of Gu Xuan and his subordinates were much stronger than theirs!

Gu Xuan was the instigator of all the troubles!

Shangguan Xuanyi’s martial arts was already slightly superior to Gu Xuan’s, so he was bound to have some advantage!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to bring Xiao’er to assassinate them!

Gu Xuan, seeing that the six subordinates plus himself were no match for Shangguan Xuanyi, was injured by Shangguan Xuanyi! And the injury was not light!

He knew that he shouldn’t continue to fight!

If he continued to fight, he would surely die!

Gu Xuan quickly threw a bottle in Xiao’er’s direction, at this time three black things flew out of the bottle towards Xiao’er.

Seeing this, Shangguan Xuanyi’s face changed, he swiftly threw three darts to shoot down the three black things one by one.

Although he didn’t know what they were, his instinct told him he shouldn’t let them bite Xiao’er!

Gu Xuan’s things were certainly very strange!

Gu Xuan took the opportunity to escape. His Qinggong was very fast, in a blink of an eye he flew away and disappeared into the forest.

Shangguan Xuanyi wanted to chase him, but at this time the three subordinates of Gu Xuan rushed up in a frenzy, intercepted him with all their strength, preventing him from pursuing!

Shangguan Xuanyi snorted coldly, and he injured the three men attacking him with a flick of his whip!

Without Gu Xuan, he quickly dealt with the three men!

On Xiao’er’s side, after more than a dozen moves against Gong Zixuan, Gong Zixuan felt he was out of strength!

If this went on, he would definitely lose!

Moreover, Gu Xuan had already left! Was he waiting to die by staying!

Gong Zixuan launched a fierce blow at Xiao’er’s vital points, trying to escape amidst the chaos!

In order to end the battle quickly, Xiao’er sidestepped his attack, disregarding the injury on her arm and directly pressed on, landing a palm on Gong Zixuan’s chest.

Gong Zixuan was sent flying by Xiao’er’s palm strike, he landed near Shangguan Wanru and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Zixuan!" Shangguan Wanru screamed, quickly rushing towards Gong Zixuan.

Seeing Gong Zixuan injure Xiao’er, Shangguan Xuanyi shot a dart towards Gong Zixuan.

"No!" Seeing this, Shangguan Wanru shouted, then threw herself onto Gong Zixuan.

A dart had hit Shangguan Wanru’s back.

At that moment, someone darted out from the house and quickly whisked away Gong Zixuan on horseback.

Xiao’er wanted to give chase, but Shangguan Xuanyi hurriedly stopped her: "Don’t chase! Deal with your wound first! You’ve hit him hard, and if he doesn’t get treated soon, he’ll surely die!"

Once Gu Xuan left, Xiao’er’s blood would be all over the place! That would cause trouble!

Xiao’er came to herself to realize that her arm was bleeding. She looked at her arm; the wound was deep and painful, of course.

Xiao’er immediately took out a pill and swallowed it.

Shangguan Xuanyi came to Xiao’er’s side, sprinkled some Jinchuang ointment powder on her wound, and then carefully bandaged it with a cloth.

After treating Xiao’er’s wound, he glanced at the blood on the ground.

When Gong Zixuan injured Xiao’er, he carefully noted where Xiao’er’s blood had dropped, quickly collecting Xiao’er’s blood and any blood-stained sand in the area.

To prevent any oversight, he gathered up all the blood near the area where Xiao’er stood.

Once this was taken care of, their attention turned back to Shangguan Wanru.

At that moment, Xiao’er and Shangguan Xuanyi reached Shangguan Wanru. She didn’t take a fatal hit from the dart, but she passed out from excessive blood loss.

Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at Shangguan Wanru and furrowed his brow: "Pull out the dart, apply some medicine to her, don’t let her die! Take her back and hand her to Uncle Wang. Let him decide what to do with her!"

Nobody from the Shangguan family should be allowed to play fool. Even if she was to die, she must fully grasp the reality first! Once she discovers what she has done, whom she has trusted erroneously, I presume she would rather die than live!

Besides, the royal family of Minze Country is harmonious, the king and Prince An hold each other in high esteem, and their affection is quite profound!

That’s because they always take each other’s feelings to heart, considering one another, and the king always highly respects Prince An!

Handing over Shangguan Wanru to Prince An to deal with would be best! Betrayal of the country is punishable by death! Retribution for traitorous acts falls on the entire family under the law!

If Prince An can’t bear his daughter’s death and spares her life, he’ll forever feel guilty and grateful to the king!

Otherwise, if Shangguan Xuanyi killed Shangguan Wanru or if he left the wounded Shangguan Wan’er without aid, even though Prince An would know it was justified, his heart would inevitably resent it!

Because Shangguan Wanru is Prince An’s daughter, even though she deserves death, a daughter is still a daughter!

If Shangguan Xuanyi inadvertently allowed her to die, if she died it would be one thing, but now if he left her to die despite her being alive, once Prince An finds out, even if he agrees with it in principle, he would still harbor guilt. And what about the Princess Consort An: Shangguan Xuanyi believed she wouldn’t be able to accept it.

Shangguan Wanru is their daughter that they have cherished for more than a decade, and he believed that no matter how much they detested her, they would not possibly watch her die patiently!

Shangguan Xuanyi would not allow a single Shangguan Wanru to be an additional thorn in Prince An’s side, disrupting the existing harmonious relationship, leaving a hidden danger for the future! Therefore, Shangguan Xuanyi decided to save Shangguan Wanru and hand her over to Prince An.

He’s always acted openly and straightforwardly. Injuring her was only because she threw herself at Gong Zixuan to save him, that is not wrong!

Even killing her would not be wrong. However, she’s lucky! she has a good father, and therefore her fate requires additional consideration! She will be handed to her father for punishment, taking into account his feelings.

Thus, Prince An could not avoid dealing with Shangguan Wanru!

Shangguan Wanru would have no face to live then!

Xiao’er understood why Shangguan Xuanyi was saving Shangguan Wanru — to prevent a potential disaster in the future, Shangguan Wanru had to be saved.

If Shangguan Wanru wakes up and learns the whole truth, she should wish she were dead.

Remember, Princess Ling’er would be a great witness!

Xiao’er looked at Shangguan Wanru with mixed feelings.

She stepped forward and pulled the dart out of Shangguan Wanru’s back.

"Ordinary Jinchuang ointment should be fine! The dart didn’t hit a vital spot! Whatever happens, happens!" Shangguan Xuanyi turned his back and spoke.

Xiao’er applied the treatment to Shangguan Wanru, found a carriage in this mansion, put Shangguan Wanru and Princess Ling’er’s child on it, and left.
