The Story of a Stroppy Princess

Chapter 45

“Damn it! It’s the grenade! Everybody, lie down!” Out of instinct, Hua Yueling pounced on the two people behind her . At this moment, Nangong Lieye had fallen on Ouyang Ruyan, while Hua Yueling threw herself on Nangong Lieye without hesitation .

“Bang!” It was exploded and well-illuminated .

“Ling’er!” Mo Wushuang and Nangong Yixuan cried out in alarm . They were forced aside by the people in black . Hearing Hua Yueling’s yelling, all the people there flung themselves down the ground, while Ye You, at the fastest speed, threw himself onto the one who threw the grenade .

Soon, it rose a thick smoke and constant cough . With bright flare, the one in black vanished, only leaving pale Ye You lying aside .

“Ling’er!” Mo Wushuang was the first one to jump over, only to find Hua Yueling’s back burnt, her hair fluffy and messy, her clothes worn and burnt . Bloody wounds spread her arms and legs .

Nangong Lieye under her just felt a burst of scorching hot, and Hua Yueling put her arms around him . The whole weight overwhelmed Ouyang Ruyan who was under him and shed strings of tears .

“Ruyan . Are you OK?” Nangong Lieye pulled Ouyang Ruyan to her feet as she was almost being squashed .

“Third brother, are you a real man? Ling’er took great risks to save you, but you ignore her!” Nangong Yixuan roared in anger .

“Ling’er, Ling’er, wake up?” Seeing Hua Yueling’s eyes hazy, Mo Wushuang hurried to call out .

“Wushuang...” Hua Yueling opened up her eyes slowly, and smiled at him gently, “I, I’m going to faint . ” Then, she titled her head and fainted immediately .

“Ling’er!” Mo Wushuang cried in a hurry, and then he picked her up immediately, and leaped out .

“Mo Wushunag, what are you going to do, put her down!” Nangong Yixuan hurried to stop him .

“I’ll save her . You’d better handle your business, Ye You seemed to be injured! You can come to Tianjiu Tower to see her tomorrow!” Mo Wushuang’s complexion was extremely serious . After that, he left, leaving Nangong Yixuan stay dumb there .

“Prince, Prince, what’s the matter with you?” Ouyang Ruyan looked at the Third Prince in tears, who was staring stupidly at Mo Wushuang as he left .

“Hum!” Nangong Yixuan shot an angry look to Nangong Lieye and said, “Without Ling’er’s protection, you may have been killed! I just don’t get at it that why she takes a fancy to you! You really don’t deserve such a good girl!” Then Nangong Yixuan rushed to check Ye You’s injury .

“Ye You, are you all right?” Nangong Yixuan helped him up quickly .

“I, I am poisoned . ” Ye You’s wan face became livid . And he has hit his acupoint to prevent the spread of poison .

“What!” Nangong Yixuan shouted, “We need help!” He was calling for his own man who was busy in chasing those assassins in black .

Hua Yujin rushed in quickly, “Forth Prince, we got one . ” Intending to make up for what he lost, Hua Yujin fought for his life to catch those assassins for blood was everywhere on his arms .

“Good job! Take Ye You back quickly . He is poisoned . Call the Imperial Physician! How can there be so many assassins, shit!” Nangong Yixuan couldn’t figure out why there were so many spies and assassins . Without Hua Yueling’s preliminary arrangement, he would be definitely dead tonight .

“Where is my sister?” Hua Yujin cast a glance at Nangong Lieye, who rose to his feet slowly, and the trembling guests and servants around, but he could not see Hua Yueling .

“Ling’er is injured . Mo Wushuang has taken her back for treatment . We need to clean up this mess first and then check carefully to see if those bastards have left any clues!” Nangong Yixuan immediately recovered the composed demeanor and began to command .

Feng Yun and Lu Hu carried Ye You back to the Ministry of Penalty immediately . They had their own Imperial Physician .

“Prince . . . ” Sweating with pain, Ouyang Ruyan shouted to Nangong Lieye, who was still in a trance .

“Ruyan, hold it . I’ll call the doctor right away! Anyone here!” When Nangong Lieye came to his sense, he picked up Ouyang Ruyan in hurry and rushed to the second floor immediately . But he left a word, “Forth brother, stay here and wait for me back!”

Nangong Lieye didn’t comprehend the big fuss tonight . But the last thing he understood was that Hua Yueling, with such a hatred toward him readily took the risk of losing her life to save him . Was it because she still loved him? Such a thought made his heart contracted .

Nangong Yixuan snorted coldly, turned around and left . Tonight, Nangong Lieye disappointed him in great deal . A woman sacrificed herself to save him, but he only cared about another woman . Such a man equaled to a bastard . Even if he was his brother, he despised him very much .

The Full Moon Tower was lighted . When clearing the battlefield, it was found that the death toll included three members of the raid team, one guest, nearly a dozen servants and guardians, while others got injured here and there, which made Nangong Yixuan and Hua Yujin a headache because this was the result of their prevention . Without their early prevention, the death and injury toll would be immeasurable .

In the Tianjiu Tower, Mo Wushuang put Hua Yueling on the soft white bed . Looking at her pale face, he felt rather sad .

“Wushuang, what’s the matter?” An old man with white hair came slowly .

“Uncle Hong, Ling’er is hurt . ” Mo Wushuang slightly gave the way, so that Uncle Hong could see the injury of Hua Yueling .

Running his narrowed deep eyes at Hua Yueling on the bed, Uncle Hong frowned, “How could she be hurt so badly?”

“She was hit by a grenade . ” Mo Wushuang went to the nearby cabinet, looking for something .

“Grenade? How can it appear in the capital?” Uncle Hong’s tone became astonished .

“I don’t know . I’ll do the investigation after she becomes better . ” Mo Wushuang had a passion for weapons . He really wanted to collect grenades, which was rare to see and he was never offered the chance . Once the chance occurred, they had been blown up .

“Well, she should be OK . Take good care of her! I’m leaving right now . ” Uncle Hong said and walked away slowly, as if he believed that Mo Wushuang could save Hua Yueling’s life .

Mo Wushuang closed the door . This was his bedroom . He went to the bedside and looked at the back-ragged Hua Yueling . His face turned red and said, “Ling’er, I have to save you, sorry . ” Then he took a breath and began to turn Hua Yueling’s side over and untie her clothes .

“Soft Gold Vest?” Mo Wushuang was surprised to see the light gold vest clinging to her exquisite body, but now the vest was a little dark . He now understood why Uncle Hong said she was OK .

“Little rascal!” Mo Wushuang smiled and shook his head . This meant that her life was now out of risk . She only had injury on her hands and feet .

However, when Mo Wushuang pulled back her clothes beside the wound, he took a breath again after seeing her bare hands and feet . The places with burnt flesh and skin stuck together were quite a number . What a horrible scene! Then he began to worry about whether such a beautiful woman as Hua Yueling would accept such brute injuries .
