Lin Xuejiao waited and waited, for nearly a quarter of an hour, but no one responded.
Just when she was feeling a little anxious, the messenger finally came back.
"Ms. Lin, please."
Lin Xuejiao jumped three feet high with joy.
He was about to go inside with A Kuan, but the secret guard stopped him.
"Only Miss Lin can go. Everyone else, please wait here."
A Kuan was about to say something.
Lin Xuejiao said to him, "A Kuan, don't worry about me. I'm fine. Just wait here."
After saying that, he followed one of the secret guards.
Seeing that there was still a secret guard staying here, A Kuan didn't feel comfortable following him stealthily.
So I could only stand obediently under the peach forest and wait.
As Lin Xuejiao walked towards the yard, she suddenly became a little nervous.
She had never seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before.
And I don't know whether the Queen is there or not...
She was thinking all the way, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the gate of the yard.
The secret guard knocked on the door very politely.
A deep male voice came from inside the door: "Come in."
So the secret guard made a gesture of invitation to Lin Xuejiao.
Lin Xuejiao then carefully pushed open the wooden door.
The first thing that caught her eye was an extremely handsome man with deep facial features, narrow and long phoenix eyes that were slightly upturned, and a terrifying light hidden in his eyes.
Even though he was wearing coarse linen clothes, it still couldn't conceal his natural noble temperament.
Then her gaze turned to the woman sitting next to her.
Her porcelain-white skin was like a piece of fine jade, and her beautiful eyes were sparkling and looking at her with a smile, as curved as the bright moon.
For some reason, the appearance of this extremely pure woman in front of him was somewhat similar to the bright and charming queen in his impression.
She tentatively called out, "Sister Ziyi?"
Just looking at the beauty in front of him, his smile became even wider.
He waved to her gently: "Xuejiao, come here."
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Xuejiao's tears of fear for the past half month suddenly burst out.
He rushed straight towards Jiang Ziyi.
"Sister Ziyi! Wuuuuuu! I haven't heard from you in the past half month. I was so worried! Wuuuuu! The Empress Dowager even issued an imperial decree saying you were dead. Wuuuuuu... His Majesty said you weren't dead and even reserved the position of Empress for you!"
Jiang Ziyi patted her back gently and said softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm here. Look, I'm not missing any limbs. I've even gained some weight."
However, Jiang Ziyi did not expect that it was the Queen Mother who announced her death.
It seems that there is really nothing worth staying in the Jiang family.
Rong Jingyuan actually reserved the position of empress for herself? This was something she had not expected.
After hearing her words, Lin Xuejiao raised her head with a sob, and then commented very impartially with a thick nasal tone: "Well, Sister Ziyi is a little rounder, but she is still very beautiful!"
After Lin Xuejiao had cried enough, she remembered that the former Crown Prince was standing next to her, so she wiped her tears and bowed to Rong Shaoxuan very embarrassedly.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Rong Shaoxuan asked, "What brings you here with the token?"
Seeing him ask this, Lin Xuejiao glanced at Jiang Ziyi and said a little embarrassedly, "Actually, I came here this time because His Majesty came to my house and said that the Empress might be here. That's why my father got the token and asked me to come here to take a look."
After hearing this, Jiang Ziyi understood that it was indeed Rong Jingyuan who instructed Lin Xuejiao to come here to find her.
I'm afraid...
When Rong Shaoxuan heard this answer, his face instantly darkened.
"When did he come to your house?" he asked cautiously.
Lin Xuejiao said in confusion: "This morning... Does this matter..."
After hearing this, Rong Shaoxuan frowned even deeper.
Since he suspected that the Queen was with him, in order to prevent Lin Xuejiao from lying, he would definitely place someone to monitor her.
At this time, the entrance to Taoyuan.
A Kuan looked at the figure walking towards them, as if he had seen it somewhere.
After he recalled it carefully, he suddenly remembered that this person was the Majesty who had visited Prince Han's Mansion this morning!
When Rong Jingyuan came up to him, Ah Kuan saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty!"
Rong Jingyuan raised his hand casually and prepared to continue walking inside.
Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly jumped down from the tree and blocked his way.
"No outsiders are allowed to enter without permission." The secret guard spoke without emotion.
Rong Jingyuan seemed to laugh out of anger. He suppressed his anger and said, "Don't you know me?"
"I know, you are the current emperor." The secret guard still responded without emotion.
Rong Jingyuan snorted coldly: "Since you know, why don't you get out of here right now!"
"I'm sorry, but the late emperor has ordered that no one from the royal family is allowed near the paths of Peach Garden. No one is allowed to enter without your Highness' invitation."
Upon hearing this, Rong Jingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Your Highness? Is the deposed crown prince worthy of being called Your Highness?"
Rong Jingyuan was feeling extremely angry at the moment. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he heard this title. What kind of a highness was Rong Shaoxuan? He was clearly just a deposed commoner.
That secret guard actually dared to use the late emperor as an excuse to pressure Rong Shaoxuan?
He immediately called out the people hiding behind him.
Ten figures suddenly jumped out of the bushes. They were ten assassins who were lying in ambush there.
This was the first time that Rong Jingyuan had been treated like this by a servant since he ascended the throne.
His imperial dignity has been despised to such an extent, which is absolutely intolerable.
He coldly gave orders to the assassins behind him, "Catch this guy and beat him up!"
The assassins received the order and immediately rushed forward.
He rushed straight towards the secret guard, fighting with every move he made with a desperate attitude.
Seeing that he could not win, the secret guard quickly took out a bamboo tube from his waist, and took advantage of the opportunity to turn around and avoid to light the fuse outside the bamboo tube with a flint.
"Swoosh!" A red smoke rose into the sky.
Everyone in the yard saw a red smoke bomb suddenly flying up in the distance.
The darkness in Rong Shaoxuan's eyes gradually deepened.
This was the message conveyed to him by the secret guard. Red meant that someone was forcing their way in by force, so he should leave quickly!
