Unfortunately, Xiao Yanli was too cautious.
There is only one chance to find clues to the treasure on her body without hurting anyone.
They were not sure whether Song Shiwei's emotions at the time were enough to make the clues appear, or how long it would take for the clues to appear, and whether it would be long enough for Xiao Yanli's men to arrive.
There are too many uncertainties.
But Xiao Chuji seemed to be deliberately avoiding the question and did not mention it.
Jiang Zhaorong licked her lips, her voice dry and tentative, "Your Highness, are you sure this is a fake assassination and no one will be hurt?"
"Of course," Xiao Chuji said calmly, "What are you worried about? Could it be that I would have a problem with the treasure?"
Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Jiang Zhaorong looked at him intently for a few seconds before she smiled and said, "Your Highness, you're worrying too much. I'm just too concerned."
Xiao Chuji glanced at him and didn't comment.
He stood up and said, "Everything will wait until tomorrow. Just be ready for the response."
Jiang Zhaorong nodded.
After leaving the house, Xiao Chuji's face darkened instantly: "We will take advantage of the opportunity tomorrow. If we can capture him alive, we will bring him back alive. If not, we will kill him directly."
There was no way he would allow Song Shiwei to meet Xiao Yanli alive.
If he can't get the treasure, no one else can either.
The guard next to him responded.
…
The next morning, the Xu family, including He Yanting, were having dinner.
Yes, after a long period of free meals, the Xu family has become accustomed to He Yanting appearing at the dinner table.
After seeing his 'tea art', in order to prevent Zhiyu from being really deceived by him, they also evolved from tit-for-tat in the beginning to tit-for-tat behind Zhiyu's back.
Including but not limited to: eye warnings, verbal sarcasm...
Of course, all of this happened while I was carrying Jiang Zhiyu on my back.
Anyway, he had no evidence to support his claim. If he complained to Zhiyu every day without any proof, Zhiyu would soon become disgusted with him.
This is what the Xu family likes most.
But if he doesn't complain, they can only endure it silently. Anyway, the Xu family will not suffer any loss.
The breakfast was filled with turbulent atmosphere, but the servant's announcement soon broke the atmosphere.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince requests to see the Second Young Lady."
In the Xu family, since they were not married yet, they were naturally called Miss. Jiang Sulan was the eldest and Jiang Zhiyu was the second.
Jiang Zhiyu still had a good impression of Xiao Lingyu. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Let him in."
Although it was a bit outrageous, everyone thought it was reasonable when it happened to Jiang Zhiyu.
The servant led Xiao Lingyu in. After everyone exchanged greetings and a few pleasantries, they all turned their eyes to the pot of flowers in Xiao Lingyu's hand.
The flowers are carved to lifelike form, with lush branches and leaves, and except for the color, they look just like real flowers.
It is precisely because of its color that one can tell at a glance that it is a flower made of gold.
When Xiao Lingyu came with such a pot of flowers, it was obvious who her target was.
Sure enough, Jiang Zhiyu's eyes suddenly lit up.
He Yanting straightened his back imperceptibly, and the Xu family members looked at him with undoubtedly gloating eyes.
Are you stupid? Look at them!
[Throwing money at me? I'll take this!]
【Quick! Dazzle my mouth! 】
Jiang Zhiyu had a bright smile on her face and moved attentively and quickly.
She stood up and walked to Xiao Lingyu, taking the golden flower from his hand very naturally, and said, "Just come, why bring a gift? It's so formal."
Everyone: “…”
"Have a seat now. Have you eaten? Eat more. You're welcome."
She held Jinhua in one hand and pressed Xiao Lingyu down on his seat with the other, then stuffed the chopsticks into his hand.
Xiao Lingyu laughed dumbly: "I'm not here to eat for free, I'm here to apologize to you."
"At the palace banquet that day, something happened suddenly. I only came up with that idea in a moment of desperation. It certainly damaged your reputation. I hope you won't mind."
"It's not surprising, it doesn't matter if it happens a few more times."
Jiang Zhiyu blurted out.
He Yanting: “…”
Xiao Lingyu chuckled, looked at the chopsticks in his hand, picked up some food, and took a few bites before putting it down.
"By the way," he took out the handkerchief from his bosom and wiped his mouth, "Sixth brother is taking a concubine at noon. Miss Jiang, is you interested in seeing it?"
There was nothing else to do, so Jiang Zhiyu nodded in agreement.
The auspicious time determined by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory is noon, which is when the most people are present.
There were no gongs or drums, no firecrackers, and no one congratulated. If it weren't for the two red lanterns hanging on the door of the Sixth Prince's mansion, no one would have realized that the Sixth Prince was going to take a concubine today.
When the time came, the main gate opened and a 'wedding sedan chair' was carried out.
It is called a wedding sedan, but in fact it is just an ordinary sedan covered with a red cloth.
Jiang Zhiyu squatted on the eaves: "Tsk tsk tsk, man."
Squatting with her were He Yanting on the left and Xiao Lingyu on the right.
After all these years together, in the end, I didn't even get a wedding sedan.
【Tsk, tsk, tsk.】
He Yanting: “…”
Xiao Lingyu: "..."
The wedding sedan swayed as it moved, not seeking stability but speed.
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air suddenly rang out. In mid-air, four flying knives flashed with cold light and stabbed towards the wedding sedan chair together.
Five men in black took off from the rooftop across from the street corner and flew towards the wedding sedan.
"Thump, thump, thump," four flying knives were blocked by swords and fell to the ground with crisp sounds. In just a moment, the four men in black fought one on one and entangled the four sedan bearers.
"Who is coming?!"
The sedan bearer growled, but the man opposite him had no intention of talking to him. He flipped his wrist and the knife in his hand flew out, leaving a streak of light that shot straight into the sedan bearer's face.
The sedan bearer dodged, the sword in his hand flying, and sword energy scattered in all directions as he danced, and the stall next to him was shattered in an instant.
The two were evenly matched in terms of fighting power, and neither of them had the upper hand. Seeing this, the lone man in black took advantage of the moment when the other two were restrained and slipped into the wedding sedan.
The sedan bearers' eyes suddenly widened. Without caring about anything else, they waved their swords and the entire wedding sedan exploded, revealing the scene inside.
There was a flying knife stuck in Song Shiwei's chest, her face had lost all color, the wedding sedan was torn apart, and her body had no support. In front of everyone's sight, she fell heavily to the ground.
It looked like there was no hope at all.
Both sides froze in their tracks, shock etched in everyone's eyes. The person closest to the black-clad figure entering the wedding sedan couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! What are you doing?! Didn't you say to capture him alive?!"
The man in black who entered the wedding sedan looked even uglier than him: "It's not me, she became like this as soon as I entered!"
Now is not the time to argue. Seeing the sedan bearers reacting, the men in black turned around and left without any further fight.
Two sedan bearers chased after him, one ran back to the mansion while the other stayed where he was.
The three people who witnessed the whole process: "..."
Xiao Lingyu frowned: "Song Shiwei, is he really dead?"
