When the secret guard at the gate of the courtyard saw the smoke bomb rising, he pushed open the gate and shouted inside: "Your Highness, please leave here!"
Then, without looking back, he ran towards the entrance.
Lin Xuejiao was panicking at the moment, "Sister Ziyi, did I do something wrong..."
Jiang Ziyi held her hand and comforted her softly, "It's okay, it's not your problem."
From the smoke bomb and the reaction of the secret guards, Jiang Ziyi guessed that Rong Jingyuan must have followed them here.
She said to Rong Shaoxuan, "Since he already knows I'm here with you, he won't give up unless he sees me."
When Rong Shaoxuan heard Jiang Ziyi's words, he instantly guessed what she meant and was stunned.
"You..." He opened his mouth, but the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
Jiang Ziyi walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "Thank you for taking care of me for the past half month. I can't stay here any longer and cause you any more trouble."
Jiang Ziyi was about to turn around gracefully, but was suddenly grabbed by a strong force on the wrist.
"You are not trouble, and I won't let you say you are trouble!"
Rong Shaoxuan's voice was hoarse and deep, with an imperceptible forbearance. The hand clasped on her wrist was like a stone handcuff, impossible to shake.
Jiang Ziyi tried to pry his fingers open, but failed.
She could only sigh helplessly, "If I stay here and he comes, how will you deal with it?"
Although Jiang Ziyi couldn't bear it at the moment, she had to encourage him.
She remembered that in her previous life, Rong Jingyuan was still sitting firmly on the throne until her death.
Rong Shaoxuan seemed like a person who did not exist in this world, and no news about him had ever been heard.
Since this is the case, if she wants him to change in this life, she must now ignite his desire to fight.
"I can protect you." Rong Shaoxuan stared at Jiang Ziyi, motionless, without even blinking, as if he was afraid that if he blinked, Jiang Ziyi would disappear from his sight.
Jiang Ziyi placed her hand on the back of his hand, shook her head, and asked with a wry smile, "What can you use to protect me?"
"I have a plan!"
When Rong Shaoxuan finished saying this, the wooden door was suddenly slammed open by a huge force, and two people flew in from outside, and the door panel fell off. Looking closely, lying on the ground were Rong Shaoxuan's two secret guards, who had been beaten to a bloody mess.
Lin Xuejiao was frightened by the sudden incident and quickly hid behind a pile of wood.
Immediately afterwards, a foot stepped in from outside the door. Before the person was seen, a sarcastic voice was heard, "The Queen is really hard for me to find." Just now, when Rong Jingyuan saw Lin Xuejiao entered the yard and did not come out for a long time, he guessed that Jiang Ziyi must be in that yard!
When Jiang Ziyi raised her eyes, she saw the familiar face of the person who walked into the yard.
A dangerous dark light flashed across Rong Jingyuan's eyes, and a sharp cold light flashed out. Behind him were a group of people who supported him, and there were as many as ten people in total.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, he saw Jiang Ziyi.
It had only been half a month since they last met, but he felt like a long time had passed.
In particular, he noticed that her face seemed to have become rounder, and she no longer had the seductive, alluring aura she once had. Instead, she looked quite pure and lovely... exactly the type he liked...
Rong Shaoxuan noticed Rong Jingyuan's gaze, grabbed Jiang Ziyi's wrist, and protected her behind him.
Seeing Rong Shaoxuan's hand clasped on Jiang Ziyi's wrist, the anger in Rong Jingyuan's eyes seemed to set the yard on fire.
Rong Shaoxuan glanced at Rong Jingyuan, then glanced at the two subordinates lying on the ground. He lowered his eyes and his face was gloomy.
He said in a loud voice: "The late emperor has ordered that members of the royal family are not allowed to approach the Taoyuan path."
"When the whole world is united, we should put the people first and govern the country with virtue."
"Your Majesty, you have intruded into a commoner's home and even injured someone. May I ask, from whom did you learn the art of governing a country? It's so crude."
Rong Shaoxuan's sarcasm was not concealed at all, and Jiang Ziyi exclaimed in her heart when she heard it.
As expected, when Rong Jingyuan heard this, he instantly became furious, and his facial features were slightly distorted.
"I am now the ruler of a great country and I can rule the world with a single word, late emperor?" Rong Jingyuan snorted coldly, as if he did not take the late emperor's words seriously at all.
Jiang Ziyi almost burst out laughing when she heard what he said. What was Rong Jingyuan so arrogant about? He hadn't even dealt with the Queen Mother and the Jiang family yet, yet he dared to say that he could rule the world with a single word?
After hearing what Rong Jingyuan said, Rong Shaoxuan's eyes became grim.
Rong Jingyuan was born to Concubine Hui. Later, it was heard that his biological mother passed away and he was raised under the name of Concubine Xian. Now it seems that it is true that the person raises the same dog as him. He was raised to be so uncultured that even the late emperor did not take him seriously.
Rong Shaoxuan pursed his lips. If the throne was currently occupied by such an arrogant person, then he should really consider whether to intervene...
Seeing Rong Shaoxuan still tightly grasping Jiang Ziyi's wrist, Rong Jingyuan was furious and roared, "Hurry up and let my queen go!"
Rong Shaoxuan curled his lips and asked, "Yours?"
"Didn't you send someone to kill your queen half a month ago? The one standing here now is not your queen, she is my wife."
Even though Jiang Ziyi had lived two lives, she couldn't help but blush when she heard Rong Shaoxuan call her his wife so bluntly.
Lin Xuejiao, who was hiding behind the firewood and eating melons, was stunned.
Huh? The Empress is the wife of the former Crown Prince?
What does this have to do with that?
