Chapter 1256 - Entertainment Programme

The Vassal Prince of An’nan, Chou Fu, strode forward as he reached out to embrace Commandery Princess Yi’an’s slim waist with his muscular arm.

He hugged her tightly into his embrace.

This action was done in one breath and gave off a very manly feeling.

However, as the two people were neither married nor engaged, this kind of overly intimate action looked extremely uncanny in everyone’s eyes.

The noble ladies all reached out to cover their mouths in shock.

Yi’an was also both alarmed and furious. She tried to struggle, but the Vassal Prince of An’nan’s iron arms were so secure around her waist that she couldn’t break free immediately.

Amidst the people’s shouts, Vassal Prince Chou Fu swiftly struck out at the gray-clothed person’s chest with his palm.

The gray-clothed person didn’t even utter a sound, merely getting pushed back with the Vassal Prince of An’nan’s palm strike.

In the blink of an eye, the person fearlessly charged over again with the momentum of killing Commandery Princess Yi’an with a single slash of the saber.

Yi’an originally did not possess a high cultivation, and she had yet to recover her wits from this sudden assassination. This caused her to reflexively shrink into the Vassal Prince of An’nan’s embrace, her fair white hands tightly grabbing the lapels on his chest.

The gray-clothed person, along with his three subordinates, surrounded the Vassal Prince of An’nan and attacked him simultaneously.

The valiant vassal prince warded off those people’s attacks while hugging Commandery Princess Yi’an’s waist with one arm and only occasionally retaliating with his sword.

Meanwhile, Qiao Mu’s party was standing far away from them.

When the gray-clothed assassin appeared on site with his subordinates, Qiao Mu and the others’ first reaction was quite hilarious.

They simultaneously reached out to grab the spit, the platter, the meat, etc., and moved backwards with them to avoid the possibility of the dust that got kicked up during the fight spoiling their food.

That’s why they were all deadpan when they saw the vassal prince saving the damsel in distress.

After moving the food and equipment to a safe distance, everyone sat down on the lawn and continued to drink and eat collectedly.

After the Vassal Prince of An’nan stabbed that gray-clothed man with his sword, the man quickly waved his hand and beat a hasty retreat with the other assassins.

They came quickly and ran off quickly, the whole incident taking no more than 10 minutes.

Duan Yue shook his head speechlessly. “Their performance is too fake.”

With Duan Yue, Situ Yi, and company’s intelligence, as well as those people’s overly fake performances, there was no hiding it from them.

Crown Prince Mo said with a smile, “No matter, just treat it as an entertainment programme to go with our meal.”

“What entertainment programme? Why don’t I understand what you guys are talking about.” Liang Qingqing was not as crafty as the rest and simply didn’t understand what performance these people were talking about. She only knew that the people at the royal court were quite calculative.

Qiao Mu knitted her brows and looked over at Yi’an and the Vassal Prince of An’nan before retracting her gaze. She then said to Liang Qingqing, “Just ignore them.”

To obtain the beauty’s favor, the Vassal Prince of An’nan actually arranged such an unfathomable performance of saving the damsel in distress.

It truly made one unable to form a favorable impression of him.

On the other end, the farce came to a hasty end with the Vassal Prince of An’nan gently placating the terror-stricken Commandery Princess Yi’an.

Afterward, the Vassal Prince of An’nan volunteered to escort Commandery Princess Yi’an back to the palace.

Yet Commandery Princess Yi’an’s gaze kept drifting over in Qiao Mu’s direction as she glanced at the crown prince through the crowd in infatuation.
