Since the Dog Emperor closed his eyes and dozed off after he finished speaking, Jiang Ziyi did not take the initiative to find a topic to talk about next.

"Sir, Miss, we are here."

After the carriage stopped by the roadside, Ji Chenan strode out of the carriage. Jiang Ziyi followed behind him. When she lifted the curtain, she found Ji Chenan's hand reaching out to her.

"Thank you." The emperor's palm was not as distant as he looked. Instead, it was broad, warm and powerful.

Jiang Ziyi got out of the car holding Ji Chenan's hand.

I found that the market entrance was not far away.

"The market in Yao Country is quite prosperous, with many interesting things. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Jiang Ziyi looked at the bustling crowd in front of her and the dense street stalls with a wide variety of goods on display.

I can't wait to go shopping.

But he still glanced at Ji Chenan cautiously. "Is it really okay?"

"Can."

Ji Chenan took out a silver note.

"This is one thousand taels. I won't go. Go shopping by yourself. I'll wait for you in the carriage."

Jiang Ziyi: ???

What kind of domineering move is this?

Bring her out, give her money, and let her move freely? Is there such a good thing in the world?

She immediately took the banknote and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen An. Ziyi will respectfully obey your order."

After saying that, she ran away, as if she was afraid that Ji Chenan would ask to travel with her.

Ji Chenan looked at Jiang Ziyi's fleeing figure, and with a snap of his fingers, the secret guard appeared in front of him.

"Your Majesty." The man in black bowed respectfully to Ji Chenan.

"Achen, go and keep an eye on her. If she dares to make any unusual moves, just kill her." There was no warmth in his voice. He took her out today just to test her.

Because he found that he seemed to be inexplicably attracted to her since the first time he saw her, and he would always think of her in his free time. This was not allowed for an emperor, not to mention that this woman was a hostage sent by the enemy country.

"Yes!" The secret guard took the order and left.

Jiang Ziyi, who was so focused on shopping, had no idea that she was under the emperor's death gaze. She found everything she saw on the street interesting. After shopping for a while, she bought some things she liked and also bought some food.

Ah Chen followed behind her. If, as Your Majesty guessed, she had the opportunity to act alone, she would probably buy some handy weapons for the assassination, or buy some poison for poisoning.

But she didn't buy anything. She didn't even buy sharp objects like hairpins. In the end, she bought two candied haws and prepared to go back.

Achen couldn't understand. Could it be that this woman really had no intention of killing His Majesty?

While he was still thinking, Jiang Ziyi was already walking back.

Ji Chenan, who was in the carriage, seemed a little surprised when he saw Jiang Ziyi coming back.

The fact that she was able to come back meant that there was no unusual movement during the period when she was acting alone, otherwise, Achen would definitely take action.

"Brother Chenan, would you like some candied haws?" After putting away the things she bought, Jiang Ziyi sat next to Ji Chenan with two strings of candied haws, and carefully raised one string to his lips.

But Ji Chenan didn't react for a long time, and she finally realized that there must be someone to test for poison before the emperor eats. It was a bit unrealistic for her to think that these two strings of candied haws of unknown origin would go directly into the emperor's mouth.

She smiled awkwardly, "Forget it, Brother Chen An probably doesn't like sweet things, Ziyi should just eat it herself."

She took a bite of the candied haws and was about to exclaim how sweet it was.

Suddenly, there was a sudden movement in the bustling market ahead. A group of nimble masked men rushed out from the crowd, knocking down many vendors along the way, and headed straight for their carriage.

Even though Ji Chenan brought a lot of secret guards with him on this trip, they were still outnumbered by the masked men. Moreover, those masked men were quite skilled in martial arts. Just as they were about to be unable to stop the violently shaking carriage, a masked man came in with a sword in hand.

The long sword pointed directly at the emperor's chest.

Jiang Ziyi realized that these people were here to kill the emperor. Perhaps someone in the palace leaked the news that Ji Chenan was traveling incognito today, which attracted these people's attention. It seems that being an emperor is not easy, as people will always covet your life.

She couldn't let him die. If he died, her mission would fail! She had the amulet, and she believed the system would not let her die.

In the narrow carriage, the man in black pointed his sword at Ji Chenan, and he thought he could succeed.

Ji Chenan was just about to lament that the man in black was overestimating his own abilities and was about to take action himself.

However, when the sword came towards him, Jiang Ziyi used her body as a shield and blocked the sword for him without hesitation.

"Puchi." The long sword pierced into the body. Perhaps because of the amulet, the sword did not hit the vital part, but pierced Jiang Ziyi's shoulder, penetrating her shoulder blade. A strong smell of rust came from the air, and the green skirt was instantly stained with blood-red flowers. Although the amulet could save her from death, it could not relieve her pain.

"Ziyi!"

These were the last words Jiang Ziyi heard before she arrived. It was Ji Chen'an calling her. She was in so much pain that she couldn't open her eyes. In her hazy vision, why did she feel that he looked quite anxious...

The man in black who stabbed her was instantly killed by Ji Chenan after stabbing her. So... there shouldn't be any more problems...

She was in so much pain that after realizing that Ji Chenan should be safe, she fainted with relief, and the two strings of candied haws in her hand fell to the ground.

The fight between the secret guards outside was also over, and several masked assassins were captured alive.

Achen hurried in to check on His Majesty, but found Jiang Ziyi lying in His Majesty's arms.
