The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1593 - 1680: Stop Talking Nonsense

As a result, Bai Xian couldn’t dodge the arrow in time, and the most direct effect was...

When the arrow shot forth, it seemed to outsiders that Bai Xian sensed something, using his body as a shield, suddenly lunging onto the Eighth Princess, saving her from a disaster??

Bai Xian: "!!!"

When the arrow pierced Bai Xian’s shoulder, he let out a deep grunt.

His face was filled with disbelief.

What does dragging someone down mean? This is it!

This is truly dragging someone down!

Miss Liansan, tell me, what enmity do we really have? Your timing is impeccable!

Bai Xian felt a pang of depression in his heart, and he grunted again.

The Eighth Princess was quite stunned by this arrow!

She didn’t doubt the power of the Mind-Bewitching Gu at all, even if she didn’t trust others, she trusted in the Mind-Bewitching Gu; this thing could turn someone into her puppet, used solely by her!

Yet, how similar was this scene to back then?

Back then, she had the grand Ten Miles of Red Makeup with eight sedan chairs, the ostentatious spectacle, merrily welcoming Xiao Qinghe, then just the son of a disgraced official, into the palace.

She knew that back then Qinghe had hesitated between her and Dong Baowei and knew Qinghe must have been calculating something in his heart, but she still brought him to her side, offering him a high position, just because she truly fell for this man!

And after Qinghe entered the palace, to prevent him from betraying her, she took precautions.

She obtained the Mind-bewitching Mother-child Gu from the Dajin Gu Woman, Miao Qing, and, to gain the upper hand, she planted the Child Gu in Qinghe and buried the Mother Gu in herself. Since then, Qinghe’s attitude towards her became much more enthusiastic, and he appeared genuinely sincere.

However, just a month after Qinghe entered the palace, once when she and Qinghe went hunting at the Imperial Hunting Grounds, Dong Baowei had already left the capital, but his old subordinates thought Baowei was forced away by her, so they plotted an assassination attempt.

At that time in the hunting grounds, she stood shoulder to shoulder with Qinghe.

She knew Qinghe had practiced martial arts from an early age, and beneath his former dandy exterior lay an astute and capable mind.

But that time, when the assassin aimed at her and released the arrow, Qinghe remained unmoved.

Only when an arrow pierced her chest did Qinghe start to fight back. After the assassins were either killed or injured and retreated reluctantly, Qinghe came to her side to offer concern.

She didn’t think much of it at the time, believing Qinghe’s reaction was adequate. Yet, without comparison, there’s no harm!

Both had been implanted with the Mind-Bewitching Gu, both had followed her for only a short time, yet in this world, there truly was such a ’foolish’ person, who’d naively use their body as a shield?

The Eighth Princess knew Bai Xian ’blocked the arrow’ for her, certainly due to the influence of the Mind-Bewitching Gu.

But even so, what of it?

She couldn’t help but feel moved in her heart... "You!" She quickly supported Bai Xian’s upper body, and simultaneously, the guards hidden in the shadows began their sweep.

After the assassins were nearly cleared out, Bai Xian looked somewhat distressed.

These assassins were ones he had brought in.

The Eighth Princess, being of royal birth, had many capable people by her side, and indeed, it takes some cunning to take her life.

What was hateful was this time, trying to steal a chicken resulted in losing rice instead; not only did the plan fail, but he also got injured.

Bai Xian sighed inwardly and then feigned weakness, "There’s no need to worry, Your Grace. Bai Xian’s life is cheap, and to do something for Your Grace is an honor." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The Eighth Princess lifted him, "Stop talking nonsense!" She pressed her lips tightly together and hurried towards the carriage.
