Being a princess in a world with more men than women

Chapter 354: Assassinated on the Way Back to the Palace

Outside the palace, in the reception room of Li Fu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Xu Yuexi first met Li Lixue's two children and gave them gifts.

Li Lixue has two sons. The elder one is Liu Yuan, the son of her husband Liu Chenyu, who is six years old this year. The younger one is Gu Qi, who is more than two years old this year and is the son of her fifth concubine.

Li Lixue's two sons, the older one was naughty and the younger one was active, and they couldn't sit still at all. After Xu Yuexi met them, Li Lixue asked the servants who served them to take them back to the yard.

Behind them, Li Lixue was chatting with Xu Yuexi, and their husbands were greeting each other.

Xu Yuexi looked at Li Lixue's many husbands and secretly gave Li Lixue a thumbs up.

"Second sister, you are so amazing! I didn't expect that you are so thin, but your fighting power is amazing! I think there is no woman in the capital more charming than you?" Xu Yuexi joked with a smile.

Li Lixue smiled proudly and said, "Little sister, please stop making fun of me. If we really talk about charm, who can compare with you!

I heard that last time at my eldest sister's house, a man offered to be your concubine! Also, I don't know who it was, but he walked around Chunxi Street and caused a sensation, blocking the entire Chunxi Street."

Xu Yuexi blushed slightly and said angrily, "Second sister, let's stop teasing each other. Seriously, do you like all these husbands?"

Li Lixue shook her head slightly and said, "Among my husbands, there are only a few that I really like. The rest either came for the power of our Li family or for certain benefits.

But it doesn't matter. After all, once they enter my backyard, they are all my people and have to serve me well. They are all talented people. For a woman like me, it is not a loss to marry them. "Li Lixue whispered in Xu Yuexi's ear.

Xu Yuexi was silent for a while, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart.

If you think about it carefully, in today's society, although women are regarded as rare treasures, if you trace back to the source, they are facing many difficulties and helplessness where they cannot make their own decisions.

Just like herself, even though she was a princess, she had no choice but to surrender and give in under the law.

So, it is conceivable that what will happen to those ordinary women with no background at all? It is probably even more difficult for them to escape the shackles of their destiny!

At this time, it is particularly important for women to have a good mentality. Be calm, composed, and not complain about the world. Take a positive attitude to deal with all the difficulties brought by the outside world. Such a mentality can keep oneself balanced and stable no matter what the circumstances.

Xu Yuexi secretly admired her second sister's good attitude, which was comparable to that of her eldest sister.

"Little sister, what about you? Will you marry again? You have only ten husbands, and you are already twenty years old. Logically, you should marry five more husbands!" Li Lixue asked curiously.

When Xu Yuexi's ten husbands heard Li Lixue's question, they all pricked up their ears, and the group of men suddenly fell silent.

"I don't have this idea for now." Xu Yuexi replied truthfully.

She felt that ten husbands were a bit too many, so how could she possibly marry again?

However, what Xu Yuexi didn't know was that sometimes plans couldn't keep up with changes. When that time came, she would have no choice.

"That's right. You are a princess with a noble status. Your husband, even if he is a concubine, must be carefully selected. Ordinary men are not qualified." Li Lixue nodded and said.

Xu Yuexi smiled but said nothing. Even if she wasn't a princess, she didn't want to marry her again.

She has been going to the backyard a lot recently. She has been doing it too much and her body can't take it! I don't know when she will get pregnant?

After lunch, Xu Yuexi stood up, said goodbye to Li Lixue and her husbands, and prepared to return to the palace with her husband.

She doesn't dare to go shopping now. She doesn't want to experience the scene that happened last time she went shopping again.

This time Xu Yuexi learned from her experience and only brought her ten husbands and their personal attendants with her, traveling in a low-key manner. She did not use the princess's guard of honor, nor did she bring a large number of guards. She even used an ordinary carriage. This way, not too many people would notice her, right?

However, what Xu Yuexi did not expect was that even though she was so low-key, she was still targeted by someone, and the person who targeted her was not an ordinary person.

When Xu Yuexi and his carriage passed a street corner, a large number of masked men in black suddenly appeared. These men in black were highly skilled in martial arts, and they ran straight towards Xu Yuexi's carriage as soon as they appeared.

"Everyone protect my wife!" Tang Liuqing ordered.

Xu Yuexi's husbands immediately surrounded her and protected her in the middle. Xu Yuexi's side, including the attendants and the coachman, had only more than 20 people in total, while the other side had dozens of people.

Once the two sides engaged in battle, everyone was quickly forced to disperse.

Tang Liuqing killed the enemy with one hand and hugged Xu Yuexi tightly with the other hand, protecting her in his arms.

In the panic, a man in black took advantage of the chaos to stab Xu Yuexi. Tang Liuqing sensed the danger and quickly turned around to block the sword for Xu Yuexi.

"Puff..." Tang Liuqing's chest was immediately stained red with blood.

"Feng Qing!" Xu Yuexi was terrified.

Now she has neither magic power nor martial arts, what should she do?

Tang Liuqing endured the severe pain and said to Xu Yuexi: "My dear wife, I'm fine, don't worry..." However, before he finished speaking, a smell of blood hit his nose and he couldn't help but retching "Ugh..."

"Feng Qing, what's wrong with you?" Xu Yuexi asked anxiously.

At this time, Lou Moyu and Liu Yunxue pushed their way through the crowd and came over.

"Master, how are you?" Liu Yunxue asked.

"I'm injured. Yunxue, Moyu, you take my wife away first. I'll stay with them."

"No, Feng Qing, I won't leave unless you leave." Xu Yuexi shook her head.

Intellectually, Xu Yuexi knew that Tang Liuqing was right to do this. But she didn't want to! She had already lost him once, and she didn't want to lose him a second time. If they were doomed today, then she hoped that she could die with them!

"Xi'er, be obedient! Follow them!"

"No, I won't! Feng Qing, before I died, you accompanied me to the underworld. Today, I also want to accompany you."

At this time, more men in black rushed over here.

Lou Moyu was extremely anxious, he knew that if this continued, no one would be able to escape. "Master, you and Yunxue take my wife away, we will stay behind to cover them." As he said this, Lou Moyu pushed Tang Liuqing, "Hurry up!"

Seeing that the situation became more critical, Tang Liuqing didn't care about anything else and rushed out with Liu Yunxue and Xu Yuexi.

Xu Yuexi was taken away from the battlefield by Liu Yunxue and Tang Liuqing. She looked at the other men who were trying their best to intercept the men in black. They were all injured, and their clothes were stained with blood. She immediately burst into tears and felt heartbroken.

"Please be safe, my husbands..." Xu Yuexi prayed silently.
