Chapter 1429: Chapter 1428: Clearly Murder
Chu Feiyan rode her horse and charged all the way to the edge of the cliff.
After dismounting, she just stood at the cliff’s edge, facing the wind, looking into the distance, without any movement.
Until Xi Jiu caught up, chasing right behind her.
"Feiyan Commandery Princess, don’t do anything foolish!"
Xi Jiu was terrified at seeing her standing at the edge of the cliff.
Without thinking, he quickly rushed over.
When Chu Feiyan turned around, she saw him just arriving in front of her.
She was startled and instinctively took two steps back.
But she didn’t remember that behind her was a deep abyss.
This step back, her foot slipped, and she fell straight towards the cliff.
"Feiyan Commandery Princess!"
Xi Jiu was frightened out of his wits and grabbed her clothes.
With a tearing sound, he ripped off a piece of her sleeve, but Chu Feiyan’s descent didn’t stop, with half of her body already suspended in mid-air.
"Ah..." she screamed in terror.
"Feiyan Commandery Princess!" Xi Jiu really didn’t want to die, but he had no choice, so he jumped up and caught her in midair.
The two of them rolled down the cliff’s edge, and Xi Jiu swiftly pulled out a dagger from his waist, plunging it into the rock wall forcefully.
Fortunately, they hadn’t fallen far, so the force and speed of their descent weren’t too fast.
Therefore, Xi Jiu’s stab allowed the dagger to withstand the weight of both people.
Xi Jiu held onto the dagger with one hand and tightly grasped Chu Feiyan with the other, then performed a powerful roll.
Finally, he brought Chu Feiyan back up from the cliff’s edge.
The two of them rolled onto the ground, continuing to roll inward, finally reaching safety.
Xi Jiu jumped up from the ground and immediately rushed to Chu Feiyan, pulling her towards the inside of the mountaintop in quick strides.
"What are you doing? Let go!" Chu Feiyan struggled forcefully.
This man’s strength was too great; his five fingers gripping her wrist were like iron, almost crushing her wrist bones.
"Let go quickly!"
If he didn’t let go, her wrist would break!
"Let go! I order you to release me! Do you hear?"
"Let go! Let... wow!"
Xi Jiu finally released Chu Feiyan, but this time it was to throw her away.
Chu Feiyan was directly thrown to the ground by him.
Luckily, there was grass on the ground; otherwise, such a fall would have hurt her half to death.
"What are you doing? How dare you treat me like this! You bold fool!" Chu Feiyan sat on the ground, raised her head, and glared at him fiercely.
"I can sentence you to death at any time as the Commandery Princess!"
Though her father lost power, she was still appointed by the Emperor!
Furthermore, this time she acted righteously against her own kin, earning merit for the Imperial Family; the Emperor would not punish her but reward her for her contributions.
She wasn’t utterly powerless! This damn guard dared treat her like this! Is it because he bullied her for losing her father as a backing?
Xi Jiu was also glaring at her, irked by her cursing demeanor!
"Since you are so powerful and can kill me, then why seek death?"
"Seek death?" Chu Feiyan frowned tightly and said displeased, "Who is seeking death?"
"Naturally, it is you, Feiyan Commandery Princess!"
He thought that after the Princess talked to her, this woman would at least think better about her own life.
Unexpectedly, in the palace, she seemed to have figured out many things, but as soon as she came out, she was ready to die!
Just now, she nearly cost him his life!
The more Xi Jiu thought about it, the angrier he became.
His gaze towards Chu Feiyan also unconsciously grew colder.
But surprisingly, Chu Feiyan glared at him fiercely, angrily shouting, "When did I seek death? Clearly, it was you who tried to murder me!"
