My Unrivaled Princess: I Won’t Mess With You

Chapter 106: Who Sent Them?

The smell of blood made Luo Qianqian dizzy again, she leaned on the carriage and regulated her breaths, trying not to fall.

Feng Qing supported his body with his sword erect on the ground, slowly he regulated his breath and rose to his feet.

One of the mysterious men made a bow with hands folded in front, “Boss, now that you are fine, I need to head back.”

It turned out this man was Feng Qing’s subordinate, Feng Qing just sent the signal of calling for help — an arrow worked by a spring concealed in a sleeve — when he noticed the assassins.

Murong Yun and Feng Qing had been secretly training their own people, they had their own communication system and identity covers in the capital city and all over the country.

Feng Qing nodded and the men jumped to his feet and disappeared in the darkness.

The other mysterious man took off his mask, it was Lin Zimo.

Lin Zimo’s ‘s heart was still fluttering with fear after the other mysterious man had left, he dreaded to think what would become of Luo Qianqian and Feng Qing if he and the other man had not showed up in time.

“Let’s go to mine for some treatment.” Lin Zimo didn’t waste time on asking them questions, he carried Feng Qing and Luo Qianqian to the carriage and carted them to his shop.

The shop was still open, Guang Yao was dozing off by the table under the candle light.

“Yao!” Lin Zimo shouted.

Guang Yao raised his head in a daze and his eyes sparkled on seeing Luo Qianqian, “Sister!”

Guang Yao sprang to his feet and sprinted to Luo Qianqian, no trace of gloominess could be seen, Lin Zimo felt amazed how this little boy could change his face like that.

Guang Yao frowned when he saw the blood stains on Luo Qianqian’s clothes, “Are you hurt, sister? What happened? Who did this to you?”

Then he looked at the door cautiously, “Is this because of me? Have they found me?”

Luo Qianqian shook her head and comforted Guang Yao, “Of course not, I don’t know who did this to me and Feng Qing yet, but I’m sure this has nothing to do with you.”

Lin Zimo asked Guang Yao to fetch some water for Luo Qianqian, and he went to the drawer for some ointment.

Feng Qing was fine, he wasn’t injured or anything, he was just utterly worn out from the fight of attrition and needed some rest desperately.

Luo Qianqian, on the other hand, was injured on the wrist. An assassin kicked on her wrist in the fight and now she couldn’t feel anything on that wrist.

Lin Zimo hadn’t noticed the rashes on Luo Qianqian’a face until now, “Qianqian, are you having an allergy?” asked Lin Zimo with concern.

Luo Qianqian nodded, “Yes, but it’s not a major concern, I’ve taken some medicine, the Imperial Physician said they should be gone within a couple of days.”

“I will decoct some medicine for you, they will be gone in two days.” Lin Zimo promised.

Luo Qianqian smiled, “Thank you so much, Doctor Lin.”

Guang Yao now returned with a basin of water, Lin Zimo checked and cleaned up Luo Qianqian’s wound, “If the assassin had kicked you harder, you will suffer a fracture for sure.” Lin Zimo’s voice trembled when he thought about that possible outcome.

Hearing that, Luo Qianqian gasped as well, it was so close.

“Any clue who sent them?” Lin Zimo asked Feng Qing while he was applying the ointment on the wound.

“Not yet.” Feng Qing pounded on the table in frustration.

Those assassins were nothing like the ones they had dealt with before, they were goal-oriented, highly-trained and impossible to sound out by asking questions. Who had the ability and resource to deploy such a great team of assassins!

Fortunately Luo Qianqian had learned some martial arts moves from Murong Yun and did such an excellent job protecting herself, otherwise… …

Feng Qing took a deep breath in pain, he dared not to think about that possibility. He wasn’t afraid of death, but he was afraid of his master’s reaction if anything shall happen to Luo Qianqian.

His master had entrusted him with one job, which was to protect Luo Qianqian, he didn’t want to disappoint his master.

Feng Qing felt so useless, he thumped his head on the ground, “Your Highness, please punish me for my incompetence.”

Seeing that, Luo Qianqian panted for breath, she reached her left arm to support Feng Qing, but she was too weak at the moment.

“Yao, come help me support Feng Qing to stand up please.” Luo Qianqian turned to Guang Yao.

Guang Yao for sure would do anything Luo Qianqian told him to.

Feng Qing just lowered his head in self-accusation.

“Feng Qing, listen to me, you and I both know what would have happened to me if not for you risking your own life for me! I should thank you, if anything.” Luo Qianqian said the words from the bottom of her heart.

Feng Qing choked, “Your Highness… …”

“Feng Qing, enough about this blaming yourself over nothing. I need you to do me a favor, please find out who has sent those assassins for me, will you?” Luo Qianqian changed the subject.

“Consider it done!” Feng Qing clenched his fists.

Lin Zimo chimed in, “Fourth Lady, you need to rest your right wrist for a month, no practising martial arts for a month.”

Luo Qianqian’s heart sunk when she heard she couldn’t practise for a month.

“I will help Feng Qing in finding out evil backstage manipulator, soon the case will be cleared.”

Luo Qianqian cast a grateful glimpse at Lin Zimo, she thought Lin Zimo had totally let go of their past and considered her as a friend now.

Guang Yao’s eyes brimmed with tears, he wished he could suffer the pain for Luo Qianqian, he wished he could break free the inhibition in his body and practised martial arts to protect Luo Qianqian.

“Sister, is it painful?” Guang Yao asked gently.

“No, I’m feeling just fine, haven’t you heard what Doctor Lin just said? He said I’m fine and I will be even better soon.”

Guang Yao couldn’t help but wonder who those assassins could be, ‘Are they looking for me? Is sister getting attacked because of me? Will sister loathe me if she knows I’m an ill-stared person?’ Guang Yao thought in pain.
