Chapter 197
The two little ones obeyed without question. They grabbed Liu Yurou's skirt and dragged her onto the boat.
After leading the three away, Jin Yi walked to Song Xuan's side, clasped his hands and said, "Master, the boat has docked. The two young masters are clamoring to board the boat. Shall we board first?"
He deliberately didn't want the large boat recommended by the boatman, and only asked for two small boats.
Song Xuan was already unhappy, as if something was stuck in his heart. Hearing Jin Yi say this, he took the lead and walked towards the ship.
That tall and slender back seemed to conceal anger.
Upon seeing this, Jin Yi quickly stepped forward to remind Shen Qingnian: "Master Shen, please follow His Majesty."
"Thank you, Young Master Jin," Shen Qingnian said, then followed the man.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Jin Yi raised his hand to wipe away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and sighed softly, "If only Eunuch Xia were here."
He, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, actually did the work of the eunuch.
Throughout history, conflicts between emperors and their concubines have always been resolved by the chief eunuch in charge of the palace. One could easily be implicated during this process, making it an extremely difficult task.
Just as Jin Yi finished her reflection, she caught a glimpse of a yellow figure out of the corner of her eye and hurriedly followed after her—it was Xiao Ju.
Xiaoju walked hurriedly, her face filled with worry, fearing that Shen Qingnian would be dealt with by Song Xuan after she arrived.
Over the years, she had lived a peaceful life with her mistress. In her heart, her mistress was her benefactor. These three years were stolen by her. She should have died at Shen Zheng's hands long ago. Every extra day she lived was a bonus.
Now that the young lady is traveling on the same boat as His Majesty, she definitely has to go along. If His Majesty gets angry, she can at least stand in front of the young lady to protect her...
When Jin saw Xiaoju, his eyelids twitched, and he quickly strode forward to grab her.
Xiaoju's arm was grabbed by Jin Yi. She tried to shake him off but couldn't. She couldn't help but glare at him angrily: "What are you doing? Don't stop me!"
This person is truly despicable; he threatened her with his eyes just now, and now he's trying to stop her.
"Why are you going to cause trouble by following along?!" Jin Yi's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.
He finally managed to get the two of them together, why is this guy meddling in?
Xiaoju's eyes reddened with anger. She recognized the man; he was the commander of the Imperial Guard in the capital. Three years ago, when they left the city, their carriage was almost discovered by this man.
It's a mix of old and new grudges.
"You shameless scoundrel, let me through! If anything happens to my young lady, I'll fight you to the death!" Xiaoju was being held by Jin Yi's hand and couldn't break free at all. She was both angry and anxious and could only curse out loud.
Jin Yi was a commander, and he was respected wherever he went. He had never been insulted like this before. He sneered and lowered his voice, saying, "What do you mean 'your young lady'? Master Shen is clearly the current Empress. If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame my long sword for being blind!"
Having said that, he released Xiaoju, placed his hand on the sword at his waist, and used his thumb to slightly push the hilt open, revealing the gleaming blade. His gaze towards Xiaoju became even more sharp.
Xiaoju was so frightened that her heart pounded and she involuntarily took two steps back.
Jin Yi emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, so his chilling aura was naturally terrifying.
Behind them, Shen Qingnian and Song Xuan had already boarded a boat, which was pushed into the water by the boatman and slowly drifted in the moat. From another boat came Xiao Shenxi's voice: "Xiao Ju, come quickly! Mother has drifted away!!"
Jin Yi looked at Xiao Ju and said coldly, "Master Shen will be fine. You don't need to get involved."
Having said that, he released his thumb, and the small section of the gleaming blade fell back into its sheath. He then turned and walked toward the boats on the riverbank.
