Chapter 453 Husband, there's something I should say, but shouldn't I?

Because Emperor Jingling's carriage was in front and the women's carriages were behind, Emperor Jingling's carriage was the first to be stopped.

The carriage stopped so suddenly that Yan Ruyu, who hadn't even finished eating half a bun, had the bun stuck in her throat due to the jolting of the carriage.

She looked at Xiao Tang with a completely bewildered expression.

Xiao Tang was calmer than her. She pulled back the curtain and saw the patrolling soldiers.

These soldiers were all men of the King of Jiangnan.

They were each carrying two portraits: one of her and Di Jingling in an older version, and the other of Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu, oblivious to everything, leaned out to ask, "What's going on?"

Just as he poked his head out, Xiao Tang forcibly pushed it back in.

Yan Ruyu looked at her, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Are you stupid?! Don't you know what's going on?"

Xiao Tang rolled her eyes at him without any politeness.

After all, even if this guy is naive and innocent, he can't be this stupid, right?

Xiao Tang became increasingly speechless as she thought about it.

"Uh... that guy found us so quickly? I thought... he'd be stupid enough to arrive half a beat late."

Ignoring the woman's stunned expression, Xiao Tang cupped her face in his hands.

Without saying a word, he smeared all his disguise materials on her face.

Yan Ruyu now realized that something was wrong, and dared not resist at this moment.

She remained frozen in place until the strange disguise material was applied to her skin.

Seeing her frozen like this, Xiao Tang whispered a reminder: "Don't be nervous, we're just acting seriously, you know how, right?"

She had already torn off the old woman's disguise.

At this moment, she is exactly as she is.

As for Yan Ruyu, she transformed him into a man.

The carriage door was suddenly flung open, and Xiao Tang, like a weak and pitiful woman, leaned softly into Yan Ruyu's arms.

"Brother, I'm so scared!"

Yan Ruyu, who was still out of the loop, immediately lit up when she heard the word "brother".

She probably immediately understood that Xiao Tang wanted to put on an act.

Like a man, she put her arm around Xiao Tang's shoulder and deliberately spoke in a deep, unnerving voice: "How could you scare my little Tang sister!"

The guards who inspected the carriage seemed a little guilty and apologized repeatedly.

However, as they left, the guards still took a few more glances at the "perfect couple" inside the carriage.

The brother is nothing like a brother, but that woman is very beautiful, and also a bit... strange in a way?

When the guards inspected the carriage in front, they were utterly terrified by what they saw inside: Emperor Jingling.

After all, at this moment, Di Jingling had the face of a demon, dark and terrifying.

The guards were quite frightened.

Even the most terrifying demons aren't this scary.

Xiao Tang had no idea about the carriage ahead until it started moving smoothly, at which point she assumed everything was going well.

Yan Ruyu patted her chest gently, "I was so scared just now, I almost thought we were doomed."

Xiao Tang glanced at her and said, "It's a good thing you can act, otherwise we might have been arrested."

Yan Ruyu pursed her lips with a hint of hesitation: "But with the Regent here, how could we possibly end up being arrested?"

She counted her fingers.

His tone was somewhat pitiful.

She truly trusted Xiao Tang completely, and it was fortunate that Xiao Tang was there, otherwise she would have been terrified and at a loss.

Looking at her silly appearance, Xiao Tang sighed inwardly, feeling sorry for her.

This woman had a miserable time when she married Prince Yu, and now she's being eyed by a Prince from Jiangnan.

The crucial point is that the bald man also has a half-grown bald son, which was something she never expected.

Xiao Tang couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

Yan Ruyu sighed softly, "I don't know where to go next."

Is no one home?

“As soon as I was targeted by the King of Jiangnan, my parents fled the whole family. They couldn’t possibly care about me anymore.”

“Uh…” Xiao Tang was speechless.

Yan Ruyu lowered her eyes, "Moreover, I am a discarded woman, a woman abandoned by Prince Yu. I have no feelings about it, but my parents think I am a stain on the family."

"Sigh, being a woman is really tough!"

"What are your plans next?" Judging from Yan Ruyu's appearance, it seems unlikely that she would go into business.

She doesn't seem to be very bright.

If you go into business, you'll lose money.

This woman was a pampered young lady who had always lived a life of luxury, and then became a princess – she was definitely suffering from the ills of the wealthy.

This girl, you're sending her to work?!

Xiao Tang could already imagine the terrible scene that would unfold.

At this moment, Yan Ruyu was also struggling with how to proceed.

After all, it seems I can't stay in Jiangnan any longer.

It will be difficult to make her self-reliant.

It's even more impossible for her to go and find her parents.

Her parents ran away because they didn't want to have any contact with her.

"Never mind then, let's discuss it again once we reach the safe military camp." Seeing the woman's hesitation, Xiao Tang decided not to ask her any more questions.

Asking is pointless.

The troops dispatched from Jiangnan were stationed in a secret location.

This area is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The man who called himself the King of Jiangnan was very careless and had no idea that the area had already been garrisoned.

After Xiao Tang and Yan Ruyu got off the carriage, she saw the man in black robes walking ahead and happily chased after him.

"My husband~"

The two words "soft" have a strong connotation of coquettishness and playful reproach.

Unexpectedly, Di Jingling did not give her an answer, but instead just gave her a cold glare.
