Xing Maozhi raised his eyes, ignored his knowing question, quickly got off the carriage, and whispered something in his ear.
Jiang Kang'an's expression changed, and without saying anything else, the two of them entered Xu's house together.
In Jiang Zhiyu's room, Jiang Kang'an 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, let alone such heavy rain.
Jiang Zhiyu slept soundly and had not left her room all day. The maid serving outside was worried but did not dare to rush in. She happened to run into Jiang Kangan coming back and quickly told him.
Jiang Kangan was also worried about whether Jiang Zhiyu had a health problem. He was planning to go to the study to talk with Xing Maozhi, but he turned around and went into Jiang Zhiyu's room first.
Xing Maozhi consciously waited outside.
After confirming that Jiang Zhiyu was fine and getting her consent, the scene at the beginning happened.
"You mean, you saw that shadow when you first left the palace and when you got off the carriage?"
Jiang Kangan's fingertips curled slightly.
Xing Maozhi nodded affirmatively. He was a very 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 haven't left. Not only that, they might be plotting their next attack."
Otherwise, why would I see it twice?
It was obvious that they had been following him!
When he thought about the threat to his life, Xing Maozhi closed his eyes and frowned.
Jiang Kang'an pricked up his ears, waiting to hear Jiang Zhiyu's inner thoughts. Perhaps because she had just woken up and was not fully awake yet, he waited for a long time but did not hear her say a word.
At this moment, Xing Maozhi suddenly let out a strange cry.
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 be..."
"Don't worry, Master Xing," Jiang Kang'an stopped his wandering thoughts, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is surrounded by guards, so there's no need to worry."
Even if things got worse, the human wall alone was enough for Xiao Lingyu to escape.
If those people really tried to assassinate Xiao Lingyu, it would be much easier to deal with.
If you catch it, everyone will be happy. If you don’t, it’s okay to leave some scars.
If there is nothing else, then the person fighting with him will be able to see his figure and movements clearly.
In general, as long as they show up, they are clues.
The most frightening thing is that the rain stops, all the clues are gone, and the person still doesn't show up.
After hearing what he said, Xing Maozhi, who had been in a panic, finally calmed down.
He calmed down. Jiang Zhiyu, who was lying on the bed, threw back the quilt and asked, "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 her head, Jiang Kang'an said again: "But I'm hungry. Do you want them to send some food over?"
Jiang Zhiyu touched her protesting belly and nodded.
She sat down at the table, swallowed a mouthful of tea, and continued the previous topic: "How did you run away?"
Xing Maozhi shook his head: "I don't know yet."
Jiang Zhiyu tapped the tabletop lightly with her fingertips: "No one noticed?"
Jiang Kangan and Xing Maozhi both paused.
yes!
Even if the three jailers in charge of guarding were drunk and made mistakes, there were dozens of jailers 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 hadn't even left just now."
He was just pretending to have escaped from prison. In fact, he was just looking for an opportunity to escape while everyone was focusing their attention on the prison.
Jiang Kangan was a little annoyed.
Liu Jie had clearly used this trick when he was in Anle Marquis Mansion, so why didn’t I think of it?
Xing Maozhi was stunned by their words and it took him a long time to say, "Then, what should we do now?"
Even if I return to the imperial prison now, it will be empty.
[What's there to be afraid of? With Xiao Yanli in the capital, he can escape for a while, but can he escape forever?]
[In fact, the original purpose of arresting Liu Jie was to find out who his master was. As long as I can find a way to tell Big Brother that his master is Xiao Yanli, and Big Brother tells the Emperor, then everything will be settled.]
【Little Liu Jie, easy to handle.】
Jiang Kang'an's originally furrowed brows slowly relaxed after hearing Jiang Zhiyu's words.
"No problem. Just as His Majesty said, just figure out how to catch him the second time. Lord Xing, just go and do your own thing. Once we find a clue, I'll discuss it with you."
Seeing him say this, Xing Maozhi was overjoyed and responded with a "yes".
…
Outside the East Palace, Xiao Lingyu was sitting in a carriage. From outside the carriage came the sounds of metal colliding and swords whistling.
He sat steadily in the car, looking at the book in his hand and turning two pages.
After a long while, the noise outside finally died down. Xiao Lingyu heard the guard say, "Your Highness, two people escaped. Capture one alive."
Xiao Lingyu paused his fingertips slightly and raised his eyebrows.
Seems a bit unexpected.
He put down the book, opened the carriage curtain, looked at the man in black kneeling in the rain under the guards' pressure, and said in a cold voice: "Who sent you to assassinate me?"
The man in black looked at him fiercely: "I'm alone!"
Xiao Lingyu narrowed his eyes slightly and gave the guard a look.
Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, the guard who was holding down the man in black quickly reached out and pulled the veil off his face.
When Xiao Lingyu saw the man's face clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his whole body seemed to have solidified into a sculpture.
He heard his own rapid breathing and heard himself say in disbelief: "Uncle, Uncle?!"
Uncle? The guards beside him all had their pupils dilated, their heads drooping almost to the ground.
The person who could make the prince call him like that was naturally the late queen’s brother - Ling Zizhong.
But the problem is that the Queen's mother's family had helped the Emperor to quell a rebellion and were almost wiped out.
Although this brother survived by chance and enjoyed favor for a period of time, he later became greedy and always crossed the emperor's bottom line. It can be said that he did everything that all the playboys in the capital did.
Until one day, he actually set his sights on the princess...
He gave the princess an aphrodisiac.
Fortunately, we discovered it in time and prevented him from succeeding.
The emperor was furious. He ignored the queen's pleas and the glorious military achievements that had been attributed to him, including the deaths of people from his mother's family. He dragged him out and beat him to death with a stick. 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 with suspicion: "Impossible, the imperial physician examined him that day, not to mention that he was hung at the palace gate for three days, how could he 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 murdered, and you don't even know how to seek revenge. We in the Ling family don't have anyone as cowardly as you!"
