Xiao Qianye saw the besieged Danzhen Palace from a distance. Minister Zuo was pacing back and forth wiping his sweat. Gao Chengchuan was leaning on a pillar beside him holding the Yan Emperor Sword. Even Prince Mingxi and Gongsun Yan were both there.

He was waiting outside with an anxious face.

When the sword hit the viewing platform uncontrollably from his hand, he knew something was going to happen.

Seeing him coming back alone, Gongsun Yan's heart suddenly rose to his throat. No matter what the people around him thought, he hurriedly greeted him, grabbed him and walked aside, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you coming back alone? Where is that person?"

"

"Did you run away?" Gao Chengchuan looked at him coldly, as if he had already guessed the outcome, and asked, "Can't the Master of the Military Pavilion's sword control skills catch up with that person?"

Xiao Qianye naturally understood the implication of the Governor's words and explained: "That man can ride on the wind and escape through light. I don't know why. My sword control skills are indeed beyond his ability."

"Huh." Although Gao Chengchuan didn't believe what he said, he couldn't refute it. He turned to Gongsun Zhe and continued: "Master Gongsun, that person took the initiative to sign up for the autumn election. Didn't Mo Pavilion investigate the details?

"

Prince Mingxi also came over and defended Gongsun Zhe: "It was indeed Mo Ge's mistake this time. It was because I acted too hastily that Minister Zuo did not have enough time to investigate the details of the candidates."

Gao Chengchuan couldn't reply at the moment. The autumn election was a matter for the Military Pavilion. The personnel were reported by Mo Pavilion, but the garrison was the capital garrison of the Forbidden Army. If this responsibility was placed on the people, none of the three parties would be able to escape!

Xiao Qianye didn't want to argue about right and wrong at this time, so he asked: "Your Highness, how is the situation of the fifth princess now?"

"Maybe... it's not good." Prince Mingxi sighed silently and kept turning the jade ring on his hand, "I just asked Dr. Zhao and he said that Shu's legs were crushed and she might become disabled.

"

Before he finished speaking, a sharp scream came from Danzhen Palace, followed by the sound of something being knocked to the ground.

Prince Mingxi's face darkened, and he walked in directly, and everyone hurriedly followed.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" The female doctor came out in a hurry, not having time to deal with the debris all over the floor.

"What's going on?" Prince Mingxi looked towards the back hall. The female doctor was sweating profusely and her tone was crying, "Go back to Your Highness, the fifth princess...the fifth princess's legs were crushed. Palace Master Qiao

He said that the only option was to amputate, otherwise his life would be in danger, but at this moment the fifth princess woke up, happened to hear the palace master’s words, refused to do anything, and even threw out everything the medicine boy was holding and smashed it..."

"Amputation?" Everyone gasped at the same time, with pale faces. In order to satisfy the curiosity of the imperial nobles, the viewing platform for the autumn election was built higher and higher. The fifth princess sat in the best position in the front row. This collapse was

It’s all on me!

Gao Chengchuan pretended to cough a few times, and Minister Zuo also turned away in embarrassment.

A few years ago, when the autumn election was not as lively as it is today, Xiao Qianye, the head of the military pavilion, once pointed out that the autumn election was an internal matter of the military pavilion, and the trial selection was only for the purpose of selecting the best. The sword has no eyes and can easily injure innocent people.

I hope that Mo Pavilion and the Forbidden Army can cancel the viewing of the battle, but people who cannot bear the rigorous life in the Imperial City all year round are breathless, so this rare excitement is accepted by everyone silently and tacitly.

"Your Highness, why don't you go and persuade the fifth princess? This matter cannot be delayed." The female doctor was so anxious that she almost cried. This life-saving matter cannot wait at all!

Prince Mingxi pondered for a long time and nodded: "Qianye, come in with me."

"Yes." Xiao Qianye followed the prince's footsteps and saw more than a dozen old doctors gathered in the back hall. Gauze, straps, and medicine jars were thrown all over the floor. Princess Mingshu was holding on to the bed with half her body, her expression was expressionless.

Pale, large beads of sweat kept sliding down her soft cheeks.

"Ming Shu!" Prince Mingxi rushed over and looked carefully under the imperial sister's dress. Blood stained the bed and flowed all over the floor.

"Don't... don't! I don't want it!" Princess Mingshu pushed the prince away like crazy, covered her face and cried bitterly, "Get out! You all get out!"

Prince Mingxi had no choice but to listen to her and ordered: "Qiao Yu, Xiao Qianye, you two stay here, while the others go outside and wait."

"Xiao...Xiao Qianye..." Princess Mingshu raised her eyes suddenly, and then she noticed that the master of the military pavilion was standing in front of her.

"You, you also get out!" At this moment, Princess Mingshu felt endless grievances, and two lines of tears flowed down uncontrollably. Isn't this person the nemesis of her life? He first refused the gift from his father.

The marriage brought disgrace to her, and now her legs are broken and she faces amputation!

"Fifth Princess, I'm sorry..." Xiao Qianye didn't know what to say. The sword hit the viewing platform out of his control, which caused the Fifth Princess to be seriously injured!

"Mingshu, don't mess around." However, Prince Mingxi suddenly increased his tone and winked at Xiao Qianye, indicating that he should continue to stay.

"Brother Imperial..." His Highness the Crown Prince's words seemed to have some kind of deterrent effect, causing Princess Mingshu to calm down and wring her hands vigorously.

Princess Mingshu bit her lip in grievance, but did not dare to cry. Brother Mingxi was the prince and the most valued son of his father. Even as a brother and sister, she could not compare with him.

The senior ministers outside should be secretly rejoicing now, right? Fortunately, she was the injured one, not brother Mingxi, otherwise, whether it was Mo Pavilion, Military Pavilion or the Forbidden Army, they would all have to pay a heavy price!

"Qiao Yu, is there any other way?" Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, Prince Mingxi quickly asked about business. Qiao Yu shook his head in embarrassment and said, "In order to prevent the viewing platform from collapsing, some sea soul stones were specially used.

The thing like the chain under the foot is heavy and heavy. Logically speaking, it won't collapse, but this... This doesn't make sense. The sea soul stone smashed the bones. If Mu Xizhao hadn't stopped it,

After a moment, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I died on the spot."

"I don't want...I don't want! Brother Mingxi, please save me, I still...I'm not married yet! I..." Princess Mingshu finally couldn't help crying. Although the prince felt distressed, he also knew that

The matter could not be delayed, so I had to pat the imperial sister on the back and comfort her, "You are a princess of the royal family, why are you worried about not being able to get married? Listen to the doctor and save your life first. Brother Huang will make the decision for you in the future."

"You, you lied to me..." Princess Mingshu couldn't help shaking her head, her forehead buzzing, her eyes gradually losing focus, and her words were incoherent, "You all lied to me... He, isn't Xiao Qianye unwilling?

"

"Ahem!" Qiao Yu quickly poked Xiao Qianye and hinted with a wink, "First lie to her, otherwise she will die!"

"I..." Xiao Qianye hesitated for a moment and said nothing.

"Look! Look at him! He doesn't want to at all..." Princess Mingshu started to laugh while crying, and then continued to cry, as if she had regained consciousness and her mind was much clearer again, "Tell me the truth, I

What's wrong? You should have met me, right? I've been waiting for you at the beacon tower several times... You, you haven't even contacted me, why did you reject me so directly? Don't you want to reach the sky in one step? "

Xiao Qianye was silent. He had indeed seen the Fifth Princess several times by the beacon tower, but he had never spoken to her once.

"What are you talking about now? Do you want to die?" Prince Mingxi cursed and waved his hand, "Qiao Yu, go get ready and amputate her leg. It's important to save your life."

"No!" Princess Mingshu pushed the prince away hard and fell down. Qiao Yu was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. How could he dare to prepare?

"Tsk..." Prince Mingxi frowned and had a headache. He could only look at Xiao Qianye and hesitated, "Qianye, how about you... you first..."

However, Xiao Qianye did not want to easily make a promise that could not be fulfilled at this time. He took a step back, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said solemnly: "Fifth Princess, I do have my heart, and I cannot accept you.

Please forgive me."

This is a courtesy to the fifth princess, a rejection without any room for mercy!

"Oh! You are really going to make trouble for me!" Qiao Yu pulled him up with a dark face and pushed him out the door.

The fifth princess was lying on the ground, looking at her dead face printed in the blood on the ground, covering her face with her hands in horror.

Prince Mingxi was so anxious that he scolded: "What are you still dawdling about? If not, just knock her out and amputate her limbs immediately."

"Yes, yes!" Only then did Qiao Yu react and quickly called the medicine boy outside the door to get the powder. Prince Mingxi personally picked up the princess and put her back on the bed. He wiped the blood from her face and sighed.

, "Do you know what you are doing? You are the princess of the royal family, right? How can you debase yourself like this?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked three questions in succession, forcing the fifth princess to dare not reply and bit her lip in grievance.

Prince Mingxi shook his head and said: "There are many people in the world who want to marry the royal princess. It was my father's fault back then. He easily married you without knowing the situation of the military pavilion master. I know you have always been very concerned about this.

I'm sorry, but you can't be so disregardful of your status! Ming Shu, please be obedient and treat your injuries first. When you get better, if you fall in love with any young master again, tell the emperor that he will definitely make the decision for you."

"Brother Imperial..." Princess Mingshu suddenly became quiet, which actually made the prince feel a little uncomfortable, and then said, "Brother Imperial has always been on good terms with Tianzheng Mansion. You have also seen the one who has a heart that the Master of the Military Pavilion mentioned."

person?"

Prince Mingxi hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the hatred burst out in Ming Shu's eyes, he took a breath of cold air.

After a long time, Prince Mingxi sighed loudly and said with seriousness: "Mingshu, don't vent your anger on innocent people."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yu knocked on the door, stuck his head in, and whispered: "Your Highness, the Star Saint is here."

"Oh?" Prince Mingxi stood up and walked out in confusion. Outside the door, the Star Saint hunched over her back, the black cat on her shoulder raised her head, and said in a weird voice, "If your Highness is at ease, let me persuade you."

Fifth princess."

Naturally, he was worried, but at the moment he had no choice but to step aside and said: "The Saint of Lao Xing is here."

The black cat slipped back into the large robe with a whoosh, and the Star Saint bowed slightly and dragged her into the room.

"Who are you?" Princess Mingshu looked at this weird man, a little scared. The Star Saint raised her face slightly, and the prosthetic leg made of dead wood under her robe held down the faceless man's mask on her face, and gently

Uncover it gently.

"Ah..." Princess Mingshu shrank into the bed in fear, even ignoring the severe pain from her severed feet for a moment, holding her breath and not daring to look directly at her.

It was a face that had been bitten by poisonous insects. It was extremely ugly. Only a hosta on the head could barely guess that it was a woman. Her huge eyes seemed to be directly pushed into the eye sockets, and her nose seemed to have been bitten off by something.

The nose and corners of the mouth were cracked, revealing a mouth of incomplete teeth!

Then, the Star Saint slowly untied her robe, and finally revealed her true appearance. She was only half a person tall, with nothing below the knees, but she was still wearing a gorgeous purple-gold palace robe, even woven and embroidered with gold threads.

Wearing an exquisite phoenix totem is in sharp contrast to the ugly face.

A horrifying smile appeared on the broken face of the Star Saint. She shook her hand, and Princess Mingshu discovered that her left hand was made of dead wood. Half of her right hand was missing, and bare bones could still be seen on the back of her hand.

It's infiltration.

"Phoenix Totem...you, who are you?" Princess Mingshu asked nervously. The Star Saint opened her mouth and made a sound of "Yeah". Her vocal cords had already been severed and she could not speak.

The black cat tilted his head and took the opportunity to jump onto the bed. His round eyes made Ming Shu's hair stand on end. He finally said, "I am your eldest aunt, Mingyu."

"Auntie..." Before Princess Mingshu could react, Black Cat continued, "You don't have to think of me now, but if you don't amputate these legs now, you won't be able to remember me in the future."

"Amputation..." Ming Shu was stunned, still unable to believe that she would face such an ending.

"My hands and feet were chopped off, and even my appearance was bitten by poisonous insects, but I still want to live. Do you know why?" Star Saint dragged her body with her hands and got closer to Ming Shu, using the black cat.
