Chapter 272: Thick Skinned as a City Wall
Only when Emperor Qi passed away would there be such a scene.
Just as Dongfang Qingmo and Huangfu Yi were about to go to the palace, suddenly, a whimpering sound was heard.
When they looked closely, they saw Princess Jiahe wearing a plain dress, her face covered with tears, crying heartbrokenly.
She completely ignored Dongfang Qingmo's existence, and ran straight towards Huangfu Yi like a wounded deer, then dived into Huangfu Yi's arms.
"Brother Huangfu, I, my father... wuwuwu..." Princess Jiahe cried so hard that it made people feel so distressed.
However, Dongfang Qingmo just took a step back, then crossed his arms and looked at Princess Jiahe with a cold expression.
When the palace maids and eunuchs around saw this scene, they all lowered their heads and quickened their pace, as if they were afraid of being involved in this farce.
Huangfu Yi was obviously frightened by Princess Jiahe's behavior. He hurriedly dodged behind Dongfang Qingmo to avoid Princess Jiahe's embrace.
Princess Jiahe pounced too hard, and Huangfu Yi dodged, causing her to miss the target. As a result, she lost her balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
The fall was quite severe. Not only did Princess Jiahe's knees get scraped, but blood also seeped out. She looked extremely miserable.
She was stunned at first, then tears burst out in her eyes and she cried even louder: "Brother Huangfu, why do you treat me like this! My father just passed away, and you despise me like this..."
She tried to get up while crying, but fell back down because of the pain in her knees.
Dongfang Qingmo couldn't help but sneer, his eyes full of disdain and contempt.
She raised her head slightly, a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, as she looked at Princess Jiahe in front of her.
This princess is so shameless that she can throw a tantrum without caring about her image.
Princess Jiahe was a little annoyed, but she didn't care about that.
Dongfang Qingmo did not intervene, wanting to see how Huangfu Yi would handle the matter.
Huangfu Yi frowned, his brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of boredom and impatience.
He said coldly, "Princess, please respect yourself and do not bring disgrace upon the royal family. Now that His Majesty has passed away, the most urgent task is to deal with the aftermath, not dwell on this."
After hearing this, Princess Jiahe cried even more miserably. Her sobs seemed to penetrate the sky and made people feel disgusted.
Her hands were scratching the ground randomly, her hair was disheveled, and her originally pretty face had become hideous and ferocious.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of viciousness and cruelty flashed in her eyes.
She grabbed the hem of Dongfang Qingmo's skirt and pulled it hard, cursing viciously, "It's all because of you, you vixen, that you stole Brother Huangfu's heart!"
It looked as if he wanted to eat Dongfang Qingmo alive.
Huangfu Yi frowned even more tightly upon seeing this.
A hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed.
There was a flash of cold light, and he accurately grabbed the hand of Princess Jiahe that was holding the corner of her clothes, and then he slashed it hard. With a "hiss", the corner of Princess Jiahe's clothes was neatly cut.
Princess Jiahe fell to the ground again with a dull thud.
She lay on the ground in a mess, her face full of fear and anger, and her eyes revealed a hint of fear of Huangfu Yi and resentment towards Dongfang Qingmo.
