The Initial Volumes of Heaven Bring Trouble ☆ And Dear Princess Chapter 24: The Difficult-to-Prevent Hidden Arrows (Revised)

  Her eyes were fixed on the table, her back to the window, and she didn't care whether her behavior was decent or not. Her beautiful eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and she muttered to herself: "Who is watching her after all."

  The overall layout of the second floor is elliptical, with tables and chairs arranged in a staggered manner in the middle. The ends of the southeast are the up and down stairs, while the northwest has large and small elegant rooms.

  Although countless eyes had been focused on her since she entered the number one building in the world, there were three gazes among them that couldn't help but draw her attention.

  She's not a big shot in Jin City, and even her face that could lead people to commit crimes has become ordinary under Liang Chen's skillful hands, and it would be hard for anyone to remember her if she were thrown into the crowd. How could someone pay extra attention to her?

  Is the person staring at her an enemy or a friend?

  "Miss, the meal is here."

  "It smells so good." Yixin suddenly raised her head, staring at the dishes placed on the table, and said with a slightly curved pink lip: "Tell me the names of these dishes."

  The second floor is full of self-satisfied expressions, knowing that the dishes in this number one restaurant in the world are the top-notch in the entire city: "Mustard Duck Palm, Sesame Fish Waist Fruit Heart, Fried Fresh Mushroom Sauce Fragrant Eggplant, Dragon Boat Scoop Fish, Slippery Clam Ball, Sauce Stewed Quail, Oyster Oil Beef Willow, Sichuan Sauce Duck Palm."

  She rattled off all the dishes in one breath without even pausing for air, leaving Yixin stunned.

  "Good day, enjoy."

  "Yes, miss."

  Another two taels of silver were tossed into the second child's arms, but who would have thought that she had secretly seen this scene and her mouth twitched violently as she muttered to herself: Can't we not be so stupid?

  Why is it that every time her husband, Liang Chen, rewards someone, he always likes to take out two taels of silver.

  Is it really because they're so silly?

  "Thank you, miss, for your generosity. Please use it sparingly." The shop assistant grinned from ear to ear and tucked the silver coins into his bosom, beaming like a flower.

  In just a little while, he earned four taels of silver as tips, which was more than his monthly salary.

  If it weren't for the occasion being off, I'd really like to shout out: A woman's money is easy to earn.

  "Looks delicious, you guys hurry up and eat." The colorful and shiny slipper limpets were the target of Yixin's chopsticks, one after another, all heading straight for them. The feeling of the flavor bursting on her tongue was uniquely comfortable. "It's really delicious, you guys should hurry up and eat, otherwise I'll finish it all off."

  They exchanged a glance, smiled lightly and picked up their chopsticks to eat elegantly.

  To those who didn't know, Yixin's eating habits were like a country bumpkin who had just arrived in the city, while the two maids sitting beside her looked more like young ladies from wealthy families, gentle and polite.

  "Haha, that girl is really interesting."

  "Compared to those rich girls who are like puppets on strings, she is indeed very interesting."

  She, after all, is a young lady from which family, why her behavior and conduct are so different from others, is it natural or intentional?

  "Jing Sheng, it turns out that those gentle and elegant ladies from noble families are just puppets on strings in your eyes, haha, you've described them so vividly!" Ximen Chuli stood up, laughing loudly and unrestrainedly.

  He has always done things his own way, and now that he's interested in her, why not get close to her and get to know her well, it would be a waste for him to come all the way to the emperor's feet without doing so.

  "He's obstinate and refuses to change his ways." Xia Hou Jingyun drained the wine in his cup and spoke out coldly.

  "Don't be too serious, youth is for being carefree."

  "When did you become so desperate that you would eat anything."

  Ximen Chu nearly tripped, but fortunately his reflexes were quick and he didn't fall to the ground. "That girl may not be particularly good-looking, but her smile is really too beautiful; anyone who's seen it once would want to own it."

  People like them who have been living in a world of intrigue and conspiracy since birth will never be able to possess such a pure and innocent smile.

  The more unattainable it is, the more it is longed for.

  The more unattainable it is, the more I want to attain it.

  Xia Hou Jingxuan lowered his eyes, silent and wordless, only constantly drinking wine. He couldn't refute Ximen Chuli's words, living in the bloody killings, they yearned for such a brilliant smile, but could never have that kind of smile.

  "That girl's identity is not simple." The low, husky voice carried a chill, and the wine cup in his hand shattered with a loud crash, spilling the pale yellow liquid all over his robes.

  "What?"

  "Someone wants to kill her."

  Time was running out, and in an instant, a black arrowhead cut through the air, its target precisely the back of Yixin's neck.

  Ximen Chu just came to his senses, only to see that his good friend Xia Hou Jing's hidden arrow had already hit the black arrowhead. The silver chopsticks that were coming straight at him almost simultaneously hit the arrowhead as well, producing a piercing crashing sound.

  Bang!

  Ah——

  Yi Xin's heart skipped a beat, her body leaned forward in conditioned reflex, a strand of black hair was cut off by the sharp arrowhead, dancing lightly in the wind, unknowingly captivating someone's eyes.

  "Miss, are you okay?" The beautiful scenery and good timing asked in unison, their faces pale as they stared at the arrow lying on the ground, their hearts racing, they didn't even realize that someone was trying to assassinate Yixin.

  Damn it, what if something happens to the princess, how will they explain it to the king?

  "It's nothing."

  Very soon, Yixin calmed down, a faint glimmer of light flashed in her lowered eyelids, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were clear as water, as if nothing had happened.

  "Miss, let's return to the mansion." Mei Jing was frightened, wondering who would dare to make a move on the princess, and even resort to using a hidden arrow to harm someone.

  Yi Xin's eyes flickered, and she pushed away Liang Chen who was supporting her. She squatted down to pick up the arrow that had broken into two pieces on the ground. The black arrowhead sparkled with a cold, harsh light in the sunlight, piercing and sharp.

  Snow-white arrow feathers fluttered in the gentle breeze, fragmented images began to converge in Yixin's mind, then shattered, repeating the cycle. The clear eyes started to become infatuated with distance, the hand grasping the arrow feathers tightened continuously, those images seemed like a complete mirror, suddenly smashed by a fist, bursting into brilliant fireworks in her mind, and then extinguished.

  "Miss... Miss..."

  "What?"

  Looking at the arrow feathers tightly held in Yixin's hand, Liang Chen called out to Yixin several times, but couldn't bring back her consciousness. It seems she had to inform the king about the assassination attempt on the princess. Who was it that didn't get along with the princess and wanted her dead?

  "Miss, give me this broken arrow." Mei Jing still held the arrowhead in her hand. This arrow that killed the princess must be handed over to Ye Juechen for examination and couldn't be discarded here casually.

  "Uh-huh."

  Things flashed through her mind too quickly, and Yixin couldn't catch anything, but why did she inexplicably feel a sense of familiarity with the arrow?

  "I don't know how to address you, sir, but thank you for saving me."

  "But it's just a small effort." To him, it was indeed just a small effort, but he didn't think that the man in the opposite room would also take action.

  Sword-like eyebrows, phoenix eyes radiating power, elegant and refreshing demeanor, wearing a dark-colored brocade robe with silver silk threads outlining the shape of a green pine tree, jet-black hair tied up high, leaving only a single strand gently brushing against her cheek, expression calm and indifferent.

  Her gaze swept across the man's face, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes, but without any pause, her pupils remained clear as water. "Thank you."

  Since she didn't want to say it, why bother making a fool of herself.
