Chapter 135: Horse Hooves Clack...

"Later, the old master encountered several pursuits until he took Ah Wu's father by his side, and then he was safe. Not long after, that person entered the palace, and the old master got married. That's how the matter ended, and they never met again."

Chu Jiuning stood up.

The princess had just told her about this matter, and someone from the Empress Dowager's palace came to ask grandpa to meet?

"Your Highness, do you know the Queen Mother? Does she seem like someone who will always be affectionate? Is she someone who would meet with Grandpa?"

Chu Jiuning asked the prince, and the prince shook his head.

"Grandmother has a quiet and aloof personality. She doesn't see us often. She spends most of her time tending to flowers and plants in her palace, or eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures. That's why she only participates in the first incense offering at Dajue Temple."

Chu Jiuning told the Crown Prince in detail about the princess's invitation to meet her, and the Crown Prince's face turned cold.

"Go check and see if there's any trace of the princess's handiwork here."

Said.

He asked Nanny Hong again.

"Is the old man out?"

Nanny Hong shook her head hurriedly.

"No, the young lady repeatedly told the old man to pay attention to his safety and not to act on his own. So, because he missed his son and daughter-in-law so much, and their death anniversary was approaching, he fell ill."

Chu Jiu's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed a lot.

This is a good idea. As long as I stay indoors and have the guards watching over me, the other party won't be able to find anything to hold against me.

"It shouldn't be the princess."

Chu Jiuning felt that even if Princess Jing wanted to take action, it should be against her, not Grandpa.

On the contrary, there is a possibility.

When the princess met her that day, the walls had ears.

"Your Highness, please ask them to check who was sitting around me when I met the princess last time."

"good."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arranged the following matters one by one, and then asked the servants to escort Madam Hong back.

Nanny Hong was reluctant to leave, and kept waving with red eyes until her figure disappeared.

Chu Jiuning and his party did not delay any longer and hurriedly got on the carriage to set off.

The road to Jiangzhou is half official road and half mountain road, and it takes about ten days for a horse to travel.

Shen Liuguang had already taken his men to Jiangzhou ahead of them, one to transport the explosives to the mountain, the other to track Eunuch Liu.

The carriage journey took three whole days.

It was evening.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled.

Hongye looked at the map, and then everyone ran for more than fifty miles in the rain, found a town and checked into an inn.

Amber and Mingtang hurriedly asked the waiter to bring in hot water and helped Chu Jiuning wash and scrub her hair. They also asked the waiter to serve a table full of delicious food.

When everyone came to eat dressed in new clothes, Chu Jiuning and Amber said.

"Let everyone have their meals, eat and drink their fill, and then take turns washing up, so that everyone is comfortable."

Hongye looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

On weekdays, no matter it is windy or rainy, the secret guards will always be nearby.

"Just listen to Miss Chu."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the chopsticks and cut the lion's head into two halves, putting one half into Chu Jiuning's bowl and keeping the other half for himself.

Hongye pursed her lips.

He turned around and went out. Soon the guards and secret guards were divided into several groups, and one group took turns to wash and eat.

Because I haven't slept in bed for a few days.

Chu Jiuning had just sat on the couch and drank two cups of tea when she started yawning.

When talking to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he was talking incoherently, and finally he fell asleep leaning on the cushion.

The prince looked at her soft body as she slept soundly. The sharpness in his eyes instantly disappeared, and was replaced by tenderness. He stood up and picked up Chu Jiuning.

He turned and walked towards the bed.

The breeze is blowing and the fragrance is in the air.

When he bent over and put her on the bed, the prince saw Chu Jiuning's flawless face up close in the candlelight, his eyes burning with heat.

I can't help it.

He gently stroked her face with his fingertips.

As if she felt something itchy on her face, Chu Jiuning raised her hand to scratch her face, then reached out and put her arms around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's neck.

Just as the prince was about to get up and leave, she grabbed him and pulled him down.

lip.

Almost touching her face.

Her face had just been treated with peach blossom cream, and it was soft, tender, white, and exuded the fragrance of peach blossoms.

The moment their lips brushed against each other, a moist and soft feeling instantly made his lips numb. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Chu Jiuning in a daze, and the affection in his eyes gradually became obvious.

"Your Highness."

Hongye pushed the door open and lifted the curtain, but when she saw this scene, she retreated like an arrow.

Amber came up with a soup that could clear away heat and detoxify. Just as she was about to go in, Hongye stopped her and said with a smile.

"There seems to be a lot of food on the street. Do you want to buy some?"

"Shall I put the soup down first?"

Amber naturally wanted to go. She loved eating snacks and eating while walking so that she wouldn't feel lonely.

Hongye took a look at the soup in her hand, picked it up, tilted her head back and drank it all up, then took the plate together and pointed downstairs.

"Let's go. If we leave early tomorrow morning, you won't have the chance to buy any. Every place has its own specialties. It would be a shame not to try them."

"I didn't take any silver."

Amber wanted to go back to her room, but Hongye took out the bag of silver and money from her arms and put it in her hand.

"I have it. I don't usually spend money anyway. I'll buy it back quickly. I have to wait on my master and let him rest."

Amber thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so she handed the things to the waiter and went out with Hongye.

The prince listened to the noise outside, pursed his lips slightly, and then lay down beside Chu Jiuning.

Maybe she smelled the faint fragrance on him.

Chu Jiuning turned around and snuggled into his arms, putting her arms around his waist.

The prince's body suddenly tensed up, and the numbness on his waist from where his hands were holding made him feel as if he was in a cloud. He stared at the ceiling of the tent, not daring to move, letting his heart in his chest beat up and down.

This was the first time he was so close to a woman.

Although he is the prince.

But he has been weak since his mother gave birth to him. When the poison takes effect, it is like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, and even black lines will appear on his skin.

When I was young.

He howled in pain and rolled on the ground.

later.

He sat cross-legged in the corner, gritting his teeth and enduring it bit by bit.

For a long time.

Rumors kept spreading in the palace that he was a ghost. When the palace servants saw him, instead of being respectful, they were terrified as if they had seen a ghost.

later.

Wuyou entered the palace and found out that he was poisoned from his mother's womb, and the rumor was finally refuted.

The poison was suppressed, but it could not be eliminated.

Wuyou was extremely anxious.

It is said that if the toxins in his body are not cleared away, he will really turn into a monster, a monster that is neither human nor inhuman.

He was once in despair.

But the appearance of Chu Jiuning made the darkness all over his body disappear completely.

That medicine.

It can cure all kinds of poisons. There are no more than three of them in the world, and they are priceless.

This medicine.

It is extremely troublesome to maintain. You have to hold it in your mouth for an hour every day, and then cut blood to nourish it for two hours. The rest of the time, you can put it in a special box made with strange medicine.

After about five years of cultivation, this medicine can cure all kinds of poisons.

Chu Jiuning probably only had this one on her body, and it was very difficult to maintain, but she gave it to herself without hesitation.

Hug her gently.

The prince thought coldly that if he could successfully find out the mastermind behind the scenes, after returning to the capital, some things and people that needed to be eliminated would also have to be eliminated.

Prince Jing has been successfully brought back to Beijing.

All the people he brought with him hid in a valley two hundred miles away from the capital. He thought he was doing it without anyone noticing.

There will be a tough battle to fight eventually.

Prince Jing has been sending people to inquire about his health. Perhaps, he will fall ill after returning to Beijing.

…

Mingtang walked in with the clothes for tomorrow's wear. As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw the young lady and the Crown Prince sleeping together.

She was so frightened that she almost dropped what she was holding.

She hurriedly and quietly put the things on the table, then turned around and tidied up the outer room. After leaving a small light on, she slept on the soft couch outside.

She didn't know when His Highness passed away. When she opened her eyes, only the young lady was sleeping on the bed.

Hear a noise.

Chu Jiuning also opened her eyes, and there was already a faint light outside the window.

When the wind blows in.

With a hint of dampness from the earth.

"Has the rain stopped?"

"It stopped just before daybreak. Are you going to get up, miss?"

Mingtang asked her.

"Where's Amber?"

Chu Jiuning looked around but didn't see Amber.

"She was with Hongye. They went out to buy some food yesterday, and then Hongye taught Amber Kung Fu, so she didn't come to sleep."

Chu Jiuning nodded, got up, washed, and had breakfast.

The horses were well fed, and the carriage had been re-upholstered and made comfortable.

"We'll be on the road for several days this time, right?"

Everything that needed to be purchased had been purchased and everything that needed to be prepared had been prepared. It looked like there was enough for several days. Mingtang had seen it when he was sorting it out just now.

Amber nodded.

"Three to five days will be fine."

Only by doing it in one go can we reach our destination faster. Now is not the time to play around.

and.

When they were shopping last night, they felt like there seemed to be more people in the town.

Because people who were born and raised in this small town have slightly different skin color and appearance, people from other places can tell them apart at a glance.

They went to the clothing store, bought new clothes, then put on gauze hats and walked around the town.

It was discovered that there might be dozens of people coming.

then.

Together with the secret guards and bodyguards, they spent the entire night quietly killing all those people.

One morning.

Everyone seems normal, but in fact they are covered with eyes and are on guard.

Chu Jiuning was dressed as a man and reached out to pat his BMW.

"Your Highness, how about we compete?"

She loved riding horses, and in order to improve her riding skills, she spent a lot of money to get a lot of valuable, strong and fast horses.

"good."

The prince pursed his lips.

then.

The two of them smiled at each other, then simultaneously jumped on their horses, shouted softly, and galloped off with the clatter of their horses' hooves...
