Chapter 383 Easy to control
Xing Maozhi raised his eyes and ignored his knowing question. He quickly got off the carriage and whispered something in his ear.
Jiang Kangan's face changed and he said nothing more. The two of them entered Xu's house together.
In Jiang Zhiyu's room, Jiang Kangan and Xing Maozhi sat opposite each other. Jiang Zhiyu sat on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, looking at them blankly.
Rainy days are especially suitable for sleeping, not to mention such a heavy rain.
Jiang Zhiyu slept groggily and did not leave the room for a whole day. The maid serving outside was worried, but did not dare to rush in directly. She happened to run into Jiang Kangan coming back, so she hurried to tell him.
Jiang Kangan was also worried about whether Jiang Zhiyu had a physical problem. He turned around and went into Jiang Zhiyu's room first, intending to go to the study to talk with Xing Maozhi.
Xing Maozhi consciously waited outside.
After making sure that Jiang Zhiyu was fine and getting her consent, the scene at the beginning happened.
"You mean, you saw the shadow when you just left the palace and when you got off the carriage?"
Jiang Kang'an's fingertips curled slightly.
Xing Maozhi nodded affirmatively. He was an extremely cautious person. He would rather kill someone by mistake than let go of something that endangered his life.
"I suspect that the people who rescued Liu Jie did not leave. Not only that, they may be plotting their next attack."
Otherwise, why did he see it twice.
It was obvious that they were following him all the time!
When Xing Maozhi thought that his life was threatened, his eyes were tightly closed and his brows were wrinkled.
Jiang Kang'an pricked up his ears to listen to Jiang Zhiyu's thoughts. Perhaps because she had just woken up and was not fully awake, he waited for a long time but did not hear her speak.
At this moment, Xing Maozhi suddenly screamed.
Jiang Kang'an and Jiang Zhiyu looked over and saw that his face was pale and his voice was a little hoarse: "If we are all targeted, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also..."
"Don't worry, Lord Xing," Jiang Kang'an stopped his wandering thoughts: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is surrounded by guards, don't worry."
Even if it was unfortunate, the human wall alone would be enough for Xiao Lingyu to escape.
If those people really wanted to assassinate Xiao Lingyu, it would be much easier. If
they caught him, everyone would be happy. If they couldn't catch him, leaving some scars would also count.
If there is nothing else, then the people who fight with him will be able to see his figure and movements clearly.
In general, as long as he shows up, it is a clue.
The most feared thing is that the rain stops, the clues are gone, and the person still doesn't show up.
Hearing him say this, the panicked Xing Maozhi finally calmed down.
He calmed down. Jiang Zhiyu on the bed lifted the quilt: "Liu Jie ran away?"
Xing Maozhi: "..."
Jiang Kangan chuckled: "Yes, Liu Jie ran away. You slept for four or five hours today. Are you feeling unwell?"
Seeing Jiang Zhiyu shook his head, Jiang Kangan said again: "But I'm hungry. Do you want them to send some food over?"
Jiang Zhiyu touched his protesting stomach and nodded.
She sat down at the table, swallowed a mouthful of tea, and continued the previous topic: "How did he escape?"
Xing Maozhi shook his head: "I don't know yet."
Jiang Zhiyu tapped the table with his fingertips: "No one noticed?"
Jiang Kang'an and Xing Maozhi paused.
Yes!
Even if the three guards in charge of guarding drank and made mistakes, there were dozens of guards inside and outside the prison. How did they manage to transport Liu Jie out quietly without disturbing anyone?
Unless...
Jiang Zhiyu and Jiang Kang'an said at the same time: "They didn't leave at all just now."
It was just a false illusion that they had escaped from the prison. In fact, they just took advantage of the fact that everyone was focusing on the prison and then looked for an opportunity to escape.
Jiang Kang'an was a little annoyed.
Obviously, Liu Jie had used this trick when he was in Anle Marquis Mansion, why didn't I remember it!
Xing Maozhi was frightened by their words, and it took a long time for him to say: "Then, what should we do now?"
Even if he returned to the imperial prison now, the house would be empty.
[What are you afraid of? With Xiao Yanli in the capital, he can run away for a while, but can he run away forever? ]
[In fact, Liu Jie was originally arrested just to find out who his master is behind the scenes. As long as I find a way to tell my eldest brother that his master is Xiao Yanli, and my eldest brother tells the emperor, then everything will be done. ]
[Little Liu Jie, easy to grasp. ]
Jiang Kang'an's originally frowned brows slowly relaxed because of Jiang Zhiyu's words.
"No problem. Just as His Majesty said, just figure out how to catch them the second time. Lord Xing, just do your own thing. I'll discuss it with Lord Xing after we find some clues."
Seeing him say this, Xing Maozhi was overjoyed and agreed.
...
Outside the East Palace, Xiao Lingyu was sitting in a carriage. There were constant sounds of metal colliding and swords whistling outside.
He sat steadily in the carriage, reading the book in his hand, and even turned two pages.
After a long while, the noise outside subsided. Xiao Lingyu heard the guards say, "Your Highness, two people escaped and one was captured alive."
Xiao Lingyu's fingertips paused slightly, and his eyebrows raised.
He seemed a little surprised.
He put down the book, opened the car curtain, looked at the black-clad man kneeling in the rain under the pressure of the guards, and said coldly: "Who sent you to assassinate me?"
The black-clad man looked at him fiercely: "I am alone!"
Xiao Lingyu narrowed his eyes slightly and gave the guard a look.
Taking advantage of the unpreparedness, the guard who was pressing the black-clad man quickly reached out and pulled the veil off his face.
Seeing the man's face clearly, Xiao Lingyu's pupils shrank, and the whole person seemed to be frozen into a sculpture.
He heard his own rapid breathing, and also heard himself say in disbelief: "Uncle, uncle?!"
Uncle? The guards beside him all had pupils trembling, and their heads were drooping almost to the ground.
The one who could make the prince shout like that was naturally the late queen's brother - Ling Zizhong.
But the problem was that the queen's maternal family had quelled a rebellion with the emperor and was nearly exterminated.
Although this brother was lucky enough to survive and was favored for a period of time, later on, he was greedy and kept crossing the emperor's bottom line. It can be said that he had done everything that all the dandies in the capital did.
Until one time, he actually set his sights on the princess...
He gave the princess an aphrodisiac.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time and he didn't succeed.
The emperor was furious. He ignored the queen's pleas and the glorious military merits of the people from his maternal family who died in the battle and dragged him out and beheaded him. His body was hung on the palace gate for three days.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lingyu suppressed the shock in her heart and looked at him suspiciously: "Impossible, the imperial physician checked it that day, not to mention that you were hung at the palace gate for three days, how could you still be alive?!"
The man in black said "Pah", "Don't call me uncle! I don't have a nephew like you! Your own mother was killed by someone, and you don't know how to take revenge. We don't have someone as cowardly as you in the Ling family!"
