Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback

A few people allowed Bai Chen to lead them out of the room.

As soon as they exited, a dozen thugs surrounded them.

Bai Chen slowly moved towards the door, his strength gradually returning. He looked at a horse tied at the door and asked Liu Xi, "Can you ride a horse?"

Liu Xi quickly replied, "No."

Bai Chen originally planned for Liu Xi to ride the horse away first, but unfortunately, she couldn’t ride. He continued, "It’s okay. I’ll definitely take you away. Don’t be afraid."

Liu Xi’s eyes welled up. At such a time, Bai Chen was still trying to comfort her.

"Don’t worry about me. You go quickly!" Liu Xi knew that Bai Chen, in his current state, couldn’t possibly take on these fierce people.

If the Heir of Prince Zhen Nan got killed because of her, she wouldn’t be at peace.

"Don’t say foolish things. We leave together." Bai Chen’s voice grew more serious.

The man with the strangled neck snorted, "Such a lovely couple, but unfortunately, neither of you will leave tonight. Do you know who our master is? He’ll be here soon. I advise you to be wise and let me go immediately!"

Bai Chen tightened his grip, strangling the man’s neck again, "Less nonsense."

The man’s hand groped inside his sleeve, trying to pull out the powder to knock out Bai Chen and Liu Xi again.

Bai Chen swiftly pressed down on the man’s hand, while a nearby thug tried to snatch Liu Xi. Bai Chen took the opportunity to grab Liu Xi’s hand and quickly ran towards the door.

"Catch them!" the man with the reddened neck shouted furiously.

"Yes!"

All the thugs rushed forward, and Bai Chen opened the door, pushing Liu Xi out and quickly closing it behind him, shouting, "Run!"

Outside the door, Liu Xi’s eyes widened with shock. Bai Chen was ready to risk his life for her!

She pounded desperately on the door.

Bai Chen was quickly surrounded. He fought the thugs barehanded.

After all, he wasn’t weak in martial arts. After taking one down, he snatched a knife from him.

The knife in Bai Chen’s hand gleamed coldly under the moonlight. He shouted towards the door, "Run! You’ll only burden me here!"

"No!" Liu Xi shook her head, tears flowing. She had always been rational, but today she felt an impulsive urge to stay. If Bai Chen died, she couldn’t live with the guilt.

Liu Xi looked towards the desolate surroundings. No one would come to their rescue. Today, she and Bai Chen were probably doomed. She stood at the door and said firmly to Bai Chen, "I won’t leave! If you live, I live. If you die, I die!"

Bai Chen’s pupils dilated. What did Liu Xi mean by those words? Was she confessing her feelings?

Just those words filled Bai Chen with power.

Bai Chen raised the knife and plunged it into one of the advancing thugs, killing him on the spot.

"Liu Xi, wait for me!" Bai Chen’s eyes were bloodshot, his heart pounding. He couldn’t die here; Liu Xi was waiting for him outside.

He had to get out alive!

The leading thug shouted, "Quick! Scale the wall and catch that pretty girl!"

Bai Chen charged towards the man climbing the wall, but after killing one, another climbed over in his place. Bai Chen scaled the wall, grabbed Liu Xi’s arm, and pulled her into his embrace, shielding her tightly.

The scent of blood and the fragrance of his clothes filled Liu Xi’s nostrils. Her eyes involuntarily turned to Bai Chen.

With a knife in one hand, he retreated and said to her gently, "Alright, we’ll live together, but I forbid you to die!"

Liu Xi was in Bai Chen’s arms, so close to a man for the first time, especially in such a dangerous situation.

Her heart unconsciously began to race.

Soon, the thugs surrounded them both.

In the nick of time, an arrow whizzed through the air, striking down a thug wielding a machete, killing him instantly.

"Be careful, it’s an ambush!" the leading thug shouted.

Suddenly, a dozen horses galloped from the woods.

A red-robed woman sat on the leading horse, gazing at Liu Xi and Bai Chen under the moonlight.

"Miss!" Liu Xi looked as if she saw a deity, her excitement palpable.

Bai Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. The Regent Princess Consort and Mr. Xiao had arrived with a group dressed in night clothes!

The sound of hooves halted in the night, as Zhan Lan and Xiao Chen reined in their horses, and the constables dismounted.

The leading thug couldn’t recognize the identities of these people. As the thugs surrounded Bai Chen and Liu Xi, the leader viciously threatened, "You best mind your own business, or you’ll offend someone you shouldn’t and suffer the consequences!"

He suddenly caught sight of Zhan Lan’s beautiful face and laughed lecherously, "I was just looking for someone suitable, and here comes a stunning beauty!"

Saying that, he reached his greasy hand toward Zhan Lan.

Zhan Lan stepped forward and fiercely kicked the lead thug in the stomach, sending him flying into the subordinates behind him.

The lead thug got up quickly and swung his fist at Zhan Lan with lightning speed, expecting it to land heavily on her exquisite face.

But damn it! She dodged!

Zhan Lan leveraged his arm and threw him against a tree trunk with a heavy thud before he fell.

"You wretched woman... courting death, are you!"

Before he finished, Xiao Chen pinned him to the ground with a foot, grinding his back into the dirt, and shouted fiercely, "Watch your mouth."

Soon, a dozen thugs were surrounded.

"You... who are you?" The leading thug started to panic.

"Tie them all up and take them back!" Xiao Chen ordered.

"Yes!"

Zhan Lan looked towards Liu Xi, "Liu Xi, get into the carriage and leave with the heir first."

"Yes, Miss!" Liu Xi was smart and knew she would only be a burden to the lady here, so she immediately helped Bai Chen and moved towards the carriage Zhan Lan brought.

Bai Chen’s arm was over Liu Xi’s shoulder, and seeing the wound on her arm, he adjusted to support her as they walked.

After the events earlier, the relationship between the two shifted subtly.

"Heir, your wounds are severe. Let me support you," Liu Xi said with some concern.

Bai Chen smiled faintly, "It’s nothing, just minor wounds. If they hadn’t drugged me, I would have killed them all!"

Liu Xi frowned, "Please get on the carriage, heir!"

Outside the carriage, Liu Xi glanced at the leading thug still shouting, "Ah, you’re the constables from the Capital Government, aren’t you? You can’t tie me up! Do you know who my master is?"

Suddenly, an arrow shot over. If Xiao Chen hadn’t quickly pulled him aside, the leading thug would have died.

The leading thug shivered all over and no longer dared to speak.

Then, a rain of arrows came down on the resisting thugs.

"They want to kill us to silence us!" Zhan Lan quickly shot arrows.

"Fight back!" Xiao Chen ordered, and the constables immediately picked up their bows and shot into the darkness.
