"Miss Liu, although you and the princess are good friends, you should not forget your status. How can a mere doctor be worthy of the princess?"
Pei Yuanhai looked at Liu Qiaoer sarcastically.
It seems that if we want to take Mingxin away today, we will have to go through a lot of trouble.
Liu Qiaoer stared at Pei Yuanhai coldly. Although he looked handsome, there was a sinister coldness in his bones. Such a man was terribly paranoid. Even if he couldn't get what he wanted, he would not let the other person have an easy time.
Honglian had already drawn her sword. She protected the two women behind her, her face as cold as frost: "Doctor Liu is from our Prince Yi's Mansion. Master Pei hasn't married the princess yet, right? You are overreaching."
Pei Yuanhai obviously didn't take the three people seriously and smiled sarcastically.
"Everyone in the capital knows that the princess is engaged to me. Now the princess and Mr. Lu have cheated on me. It's okay for me to come and ask for an explanation, right?"
Liu Qiaoer smiled: "If you don't come in broad daylight, come at night. If you feel humiliated, you can cancel the engagement. Don't worry, our princess's reputation does not depend on you to maintain it."
Pei Yuanhai scratched the tip of his nose with his thumb, revealing a hint of sneer.
"If it were in the past, I would really consider our marriage. After all, a woman like this who is fickle, shameless, and frivolous would only feel dirty to the Pei family even if she was sent to the Pei family."
Liu Qiaoer was so angry that her fists hardened.
"Pei Yuanhai, who are you calling a fickle person? She's clearly devoted to you, but you treat her like this. Bah, what Pei family? They're just trying to gain fame."
Pei Yuanhai sneered: "But it is true now. Her reputation has been ruined. Now only I can marry her without bearing any grudges. She should thank me like General Zhenbei did."
A light suddenly flashed through Liu Qiaoer's mind. Princess Mingxin was harmed by him, so why was General Zhenbei also harmed by him? Could it be that he controlled General Zhenbei
"The princess is ill, I want to take her away. If you move aside, I will let you go. If you don't move aside, Pei Yuanhai, I will make you pay double for everything you did to her."
How could Pei Yuanhai let Liu Qiaoer take the person away? He had already informed the Queen Mother that he would marry Princess Mingxin in advance, and his happy day would be in three days.
But seeing that Liu Qiaoer was unwilling to give in, he just waved his hand.
"Leave the princess here, and don't care about the lives of the others."
How come the Zhenbei General's Mansion was also controlled by Pei Yuanhai
Mingxin's maid Shuangjiang also stood behind Pei Yuanhai.
Liu Qiao'er also took out a crossbow to defend herself: "You are the guards of the general's mansion, how can you easily obey the orders of outsiders."
These guards were a little confused and at a loss as to what to do when General Zhenbei also arrived.
When he saw his daughter behind Liu Qiaoer, he immediately became anxious.
"Put her down. If you dare to threaten me with her again, I will not be polite."
General Zhenbei knew that Liu Qiaoer and Princess Mingxin were good friends. Although he did not interfere with his daughter's friendships, there was no need to treat Liu Qiaoer like this.
In desperation, Honglian took out the token of Prince Yi's Palace.
"General, I am here on the orders of Prince Yi to take the princess back for medical treatment. The princess has many scars from being whipped. General, you know that we have a doctor from Medicine King Valley in our mansion, so please let her go."
General Zhenbei suddenly froze, his head buzzing, and he forgot what he wanted to say. When he heard that Princess Mingxin was injured, he showed a dazed expression.
"Injured? Who? Who is injured..."
At this moment, Liu Qiaoer suddenly discovered that Pei Yuanhai was holding a silver needle in his hand. Just as he was quietly stabbing towards General Zhenbei, Liu Qiaoer fired a crossbow.
With a cry of "Ah", Pei Yuanhai's arm was injured.
Liu Qiaoer took a step forward and pulled his arm, and saw that there was indeed a silver needle between his fingertips.
"This needle is poisonous, Pei Yuanhai, how dare you poison General Zhenbei..."
As soon as Liu Qiaoer said this, the guards of the general's mansion pointed their arrows at Pei Yuanhai again.
Pei Yuanhai refused to accept the offer and continued to argue: "I didn't do that. You put the poison needle in my hand just now. You framed me..."
At this moment, General Zhenbei seemed to suddenly wake up. He grabbed Liu Qiaoer and threw her out fiercely, saying fiercely, "What are you doing? Do you want to kill him?"
Liu Qiaoer was about to be wrongly accused and died. She was so angry that her heart and lungs were about to explode: "General, he is the one who hurt people. He wants to control you..."
The guards of the general's mansion once again turned their attention to Liu Qiaoer.
At this moment, the guard came over hurriedly and reported: "General, the Queen Mother's decree has arrived."
Liu Qiaoer was planning to take Princess Mingxin away while they were going to receive the imperial edict, but who knew that she was taken away by General Zhenbei.
Along the way, no matter how Liu Qiaoer explained, General Zhenbei acted as if he didn't hear her. He frowned and strode towards the front hall.
The Empress Dowager sent an imperial decree that the wedding of Pei Yuanhai and Princess Mingxin would be held three days later.
The imperial edict did not mention how Lu Yunzheng would be dealt with, but it did state that Pei Yuanhai might be the owner of the general's mansion in the future.
After the eunuchs in the palace left, Pei Yuanhai stood up again, looked at Liu Qiaoer with disdain, and wanted to pull Princess Mingxin over.
Mingxin's mentality completely collapsed at this time.
"I won't go, Qiao'er, I won't go. Save me. He never thought of marrying me. He just wanted to use me to get his father's military power and frame Lu Yunzheng. They have a big conspiracy..."
"I overheard it secretly. It's true. He and the Third Prince were plotting to harm Lu Yunzheng and Master Lu... When he found out about me, he beat me up and let... many people bully me..."
Mingxin's mind was clear at this time, and she remembered everything that happened in the past.
Thanks to Liu Qiaoer who gave her an antidote when she first met her, her mind became clear.
However, before Mingxin could finish his words, suddenly, a hidden arrow shot from somewhere unknown, shot towards Mingxin's heart with a "whoosh".
By the time Liu Qiaoer found out, it was too late to pull her away.
Ming was stabbed in the heart and collapsed in Liu Qiaoer's arms, blood flowing out continuously. Her pretty face was full of regret.
"Qiao'er, you're right. When you love someone, you have to be reserved. You can't give it all. I'm leaving... Qiao'er... you... take care of yourself."
Princess Mingxin also traveled through time. It was rare for her to find someone in this world who could relate to her.
But such a pure woman was actually harmed by Pei Yuanhai.
Liu Qiaoer hugged Mingxin tightly and took out all the medicine powder to suppress the wound to prevent too much bleeding.
At this time, Honglian also caught the person who shot the arrow.
As luck would have it, it was Pei Yuanhai's servant. He knelt down and begged for mercy, putting all the blame on Pei Yuanhai.
"Please spare my life. I failed. I didn't want to kill the princess. I just wanted to..."
He glanced at Liu Qiaoer. The person he wanted to shoot was Liu Qiaoer, but his angle was wrong, his hand shook, and the shot went astray...
"Puchi" Honglian's face was cold, and he raised his knife and killed the person who shot the arrow.
General Zhenbei's mind seemed to be clearer at this time. He looked around blankly, not knowing what was going on.
