The next morning, Qin Shi and his men were waiting outside the princess's mansion.

When the servant guarding the gate saw that Qin Shi had brought hundreds of officers and soldiers, he hurried in to report to Princess Yuehua.

When Lady Wen'an, the county lord who had rushed over upon hearing the news, saw the scene in front of the door, her brows immediately twisted into knots.

When Qin Shi saw Princess Wen'an coming out, he took the initiative to explain: "Your Highness is worth a lot of money. In order to protect your safety, I have borrowed some soldiers from Magistrate Su and Jiedushi."

Upon hearing this, Lady Wen'an turned around with a gloomy face and walked into the princess's mansion and informed Princess Yuehua of the situation outside the door.

Princess Yuehua was in deep thought with a cold face. All the personal soldiers of the princess's mansion had shown their faces in front of Qin Shi, so they could only be used openly.

The only ones she could secretly use were the seventy death warriors she had recruited, but it was not easy to mobilize all of them.

Princess Wen'an asked anxiously, "Mother, do we have to go back to Beijing with the people from the Dali Temple?"

"If you don't reply, you are disobeying the order." Princess Yuehua stared at her with a dark face, "Do you want to rebel?"

Wen An lowered her head and remained silent. They did not have the ability to rebel.

Princess Yuehua thought for a moment and said, "The journey back to the capital is long. It's not surprising that we encounter some dangers along the way and a few people die."

Princess Wen'an suddenly looked up and said, "Mother wants to..."

A quarter of an hour later, Princess Yuehua and Lady Wen'an came out of the Princess's Mansion, accompanied by their personal servants.

Qin Shi dismounted to greet her, and when he saw Lu'e, his eyes moved.

Just as he was bowing to Princess Yuehua, the sound of resounding footsteps came from the side.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the princess's personal guards.

Princess Yuehua smiled and said, "Qin Shaoqing, is it safe for me to bring a team of personal guards to protect me?"

"Of course you can."

Afterwards, a group of people set out on the journey back to Beijing.

When the people of Yizhou saw such a grand scene, they couldn't help but wonder what was going on and stopped to watch.

Not long after the team left the city, they stopped at the foot of the mountain of Fanyin Temple.

When County Mayor Wen'an saw the team stop, he opened the window to check the situation outside, and then he saw a carriage and three fashions.

One of the monks was talking to Qin Shi, but she couldn't hear what they were saying.

Just when she was about to get off the carriage to ask, Qin Shi walked towards the carriage.

After a while, Qin Shi walked to the side of the carriage.

"Your Highness, the three masters from the Fanyin Temple are going to the Huguo Temple to visit Master Wunian. They will accompany us along the way."

Hearing this, Princess Yuehua knew that Qin Shi was not asking for her consent, but informing her.

She snorted in her heart, but a gentle smile was on her face, "I understand."

In fact, one of the three monks was Chen Yi.

Chen Yi was not going to the Huguo Temple to visit Master Wunian, but he was worried about Qin Shi, so he specially brought two monks to escort him back to Beijing.

And Liu Yan, who was protected by Chen Yi, was in the carriage at this time.

Originally, Qin Shi wanted Liu Yan and their troops to split up and return to the capital, but Princess Yuehua's people were watching too closely.

They were unable to go to Fanyin Temple to pick up Liu Yan, so they asked someone to send a message to Chen Yi, asking him to take Liu Yan to the post station to wait for him.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yi did not take Liu Yan to the post station, but chose to wait here and set off with them.

The team continued to move forward. When Princess Yuehua passed by Chen Yi and the other two in a carriage, she glanced at the three of them and the carriage.

She inexplicably felt that there was someone in the carriage.

＊＊＊

Beijing, Gu family.

Jiang Yueyang, Wen Shuyan and Qiao Xi came to Gu's house to add makeup to Gu Ruo.

Tomorrow is the wedding day of Gu Ruo and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Jiang Yueyang opened one of the boxes she brought with her, and inside lay an exquisite hairpin.

The head of the hairpin is carved with a lifelike phoenix, with a dazzling ruby in its mouth.

Then, she opened another smaller box, which contained a pair of diamond rings that she had bought specially in the mall.

When Gu Ruo saw the diamond ring, she couldn't help but pick it up and examine it curiously, "This ring is so unique."

Jiang Yueyang explained: "I read about a place in a book where people would wear such a ring when they got married.

The small one is yours, and the big one is for His Royal Highness. When the time comes, you and His Royal Highness will give each other this ring, which means that you will stay together for the rest of your lives and never leave each other. "

After hearing this, Gu Ruo blushed.

During this period, her relationship with the Crown Prince had changed a little. Although she still didn't like him, they got along well.

Seeing her blushing, Qiao Xi couldn't help but ask, "Aruo, tell me the truth, do you like the Crown Prince a little bit?"

"Your Highness is very gentle and caring." Gu Ruo didn't say she liked him, "I think I will like your Highness in the future."

In other words, I don’t like it yet.

"Really~" Qiao Xi smiled and stretched out the last syllable.

"Sister Qiao Xi~" Gu Ruo said to her coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Come and take a look at the wedding gift I gave you."

As he spoke, Qiao Xi opened the box in his hand, and inside was a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Goddess of Childbirth.

She chuckled, "Aruo, I wish you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have a son soon, and may your offspring continue to grow!"

When she saw the Goddess of Childbearing, Gu Ruo's face was already red. Now, when she heard Qiao Xi say that, her face flushed.

"Sister Qiao Xi!" Gu Ruo chased her and hit her, "Don't forget, you are not married yet!"

"I'm not afraid. I'll have to go through that sooner or later anyway."

The two of them chased each other and it took a long time before they stopped.

Seeing them come back and sit down, Wen Shuyan opened the brocade box she brought.

She gave him a pair of jade bracelets. The jade bracelets were translucent in color and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were worth a fortune.

"Aruo, do you like this jade bracelet?"

Gu Ruo smiled and nodded, "I like it. I like whatever you give me. If your family can give me ten jars of good wine, I will like it even more."

"no problem."

What followed was a burst of laughter, and as they laughed, Gu Ruo burst into tears of joy.

"It's great to have you guys."

Amid the sounds of crying and laughing, night fell quietly.

In the distant wilderness, Qin Shi and others camped for the night on a mountain road surrounded by mountains.

As the night deepened, everyone fell into a deep sleep, and the assassins hiding in the mountains approached quietly.

Chen Yi in the carriage slowly opened his eyes.
