The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1409

Chapter 1409: 686 Her son (two more watches into the night)

Xiao Hen never imagined he would be the one to fall out of the crowd, how long had it been since such an incident had befallen him?

He was clearly attacked by bandits, yet the bandits could be crushed to death by a falling signboard, and when encountering thieves, they could be sent flying by a passing carriage...

Could it really be that donning men’s clothing again had brought bad luck?

Had he been trampled by those horse hooves, he would have died without knowing how.

Luckily, because everyone had swarmed forward to see the Princess, the passable area of the street became narrow, which forced the carriage to slow down somewhat.

He still had time to get up and leave.

Xiao Hen braced himself on the ground, enduring the pain in his knees as he stood up.

But just as he took a step, he stepped on something slippery and smack—down he went!

He face-planted grandly, and now he was truly——

"Ah! Not good!"

The coachman certainly didn’t expect this person, having just climbed up, to freaking fall again!

I can’t even slow down now...

And if I brake too abruptly and the Princess gets thrown from the carriage, whose fault would that be?

The guards, riding in formation on either side of the carriage, couldn’t pull their horses in time.

At the critical moment, a blue figure leaped forward from the front, soaring over the heads of the crowd.

Despite the great distance, he arrived in front of the carriage in the blink of an eye.

He didn’t stop, but with great speed, he reached out his long and strong hand, grabbed Xiao Hen off the ground, and whooshed away.

Because he had moved so quickly to save someone, he also couldn’t stop.

"Ah! He’s going to crash into the Princess’s carriage!"

"Oh no!"

The crowd simply couldn’t bear to look.

But the worrying incident did not occur; he suddenly soared up, gripping Xiao Hen, and flew over the top of the Princess’s carriage.

The two landed on the street behind the procession.

In the crowd, someone recognized the person’s identity and exclaimed, "It’s the Taoist priest, Qingfeng!"
