"Jiu'er suddenly cried so hard, Madam, why don't we go back home."
Ye Peizhu nodded, "I've heard that babies can see things that we adults can't, and sometimes they can even help us avoid danger and bring good luck.
Whenever we took Jiuer out in the past, she never cried so hard.
I only cried today. I’m afraid we may encounter some dangers on the road ahead. Let’s go back home.
As for Zhuangzi’s matter, it would be better to send someone to take a look first.
What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"Madam is right. That's settled then. Don't cry, baby. Let's go back and give the baby some delicious goat milk."
King Kang took his daughter's chubby hand and coaxed her for a few words, then lifted the curtain and whispered instructions to the coachman and guards.
The guard jumped off the carriage and left, soon disappearing from sight.
The driver turned the carriage around and headed towards the capital.
Song Jiujiu felt relieved after hearing this.
[Daddy and Mommy are so nice! They actually wanted to go home just because I cried!]
If it weren’t for the fact that my parents couldn’t hear what I was thinking, I would have almost doubted whether they could hear my thoughts.
It’s better to go back, it’s better to go back, at least we can avoid the disaster.
Unexpectedly, there was an assassin lying in ambush on the road ahead and trying to kill us!
In the prophetic dream just now, my father and mother were both injured by assassins, and I didn’t dare to look clearly because they were covered in blood.
Damn it! Who on earth wants to assassinate us?
Obviously, that bad guy Prince Gong is dead, how come another bad guy appears!
Why can’t we kill all the bad guys one after another?
If I knew who the bad guys were, I would kill you all! Humph!]
Song Jiujiu clenched her little fists angrily.
King Kang opened his mouth with a complicated expression.
His precious daughter should just be a good girl, there is really no need to kill anyone.
Leave the killing to Daddy.
After the family returned home, Qiuyun was a little puzzled when she saw them.
"Princess, have you dealt with everything at Zhuangzi? It seems like you, the prince, and the young lady returned not long after you left."
"Well, I came back first because of something. Qiuyun, go get a bowl of goat milk."
Ye Peizhu ordered.
"yes."
After a while, Qiuyun came back. Ye Peizhu fed Song Jiujiu half a bowl of goat's milk, and she drank the remaining half bowl in gulps.
Seeing their daughter drinking goat's milk with relish, Ye Peizhu and King Kang felt a little relieved of the negative emotions that had accumulated in their hearts.
King Kang called the secret guards and asked them to investigate what had happened in the village.
In the evening, the guards sent by King Kang during the day finally returned.
"Your Majesty, Princess, I discovered an assassin lying in ambush on the way to the manor!
From daytime to yesterday, many carriages passed by along the way, but the assassins did not act rashly.
I dare to guess that the assassins are probably ambushing you two!
After the assassins left, the subordinates tried to follow them, but they were very skilled and soon disappeared!
Please forgive me, my Lord and Princess!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu both felt a headache.
They never doubted the content of their daughter's words, but the confirmation that there was indeed an assassin lying in ambush only made them more worried.
Regardless of whether the assassins in ambush wanted to kill them because they were going to Zhuangzi.
They can no longer go to Zhuangzi in person.
Let's see what the secret guards' investigation results are.
The next day, Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu learned about it from the secret guards.
It turned out that a servant had hanged himself in the farmhouse.
The deceased did this because he was unable to get over a personal dispute. His death had nothing to do with Prince Kang and his wife.
But after all, the person died in the manor, which is a bit unlucky, so matters of life and death must be informed to the owner of the manor.
"Hanging himself? Are you sure he wasn't murdered?"
Ye Peizhu asked.
Secret Guard: "Princess, I have asked the people in the manor about the truth of this matter, and almost everyone's story is the same.
It was precisely because they had confirmed that the deceased had committed suicide by hanging, and not been murdered, that the people in the village did not report the matter to the authorities.
Ye Peizhu nodded and looked at Prince Kang. "Your Highness, have you thought about how to deal with this? And as for the manor, should we keep it idle or make use of it?"
Prince Kang stroked his chin, thinking, "Madam, this matter... I have no idea at the moment. What do you want to do, Madam?"
"Since the prince has said so, then I will tell you.
I want to replace the people in the village.
Those people were bought by King Ning back then, so they must be King Ning's men.
If we were to use Zhuangzi in the future, it would inevitably be reported to King Ning.
Regardless of whether we use Zhuangzi or not, how about replacing him with our own people?
King Kang agreed immediately after hearing this.
"Okay, let's do as Madam says."
King Kang immediately called people to do as Ye Peizhu said.
[Hey? Someone committed suicide in the village? It was because of this!]
What about the assassin?
Could it be that someone took advantage of what happened at the manor to deliberately lure my parents over there, and then set up an ambush with assassins in advance, just to kill them?
But, the assassination doesn't necessarily require leaving Prince Kang's Mansion, right?
No, our carriage had already left the capital city very far yesterday. If we had encountered an assassin, we would have been helpless!
I wonder if the Zhuangzi incident and the assassin incident were done by the same person.
This never happened in my previous life, so I have no reference.
But I wonder if it is still related to Prince Ning?
As my mother said, the servants in the manor now were all bought by King Ning back then.
Then it would be much easier for Prince Ning to give them orders.
Maybe Prince Ning wanted to assassinate my parents, so he deliberately caused trouble in the farm to use it as bait to lure my parents over!
And let the assassins ambush in advance!
Oh my god! I'm so smart!
This must be the truth of this matter! 】
Song Jiujiu was stunned by her own cleverness.
Ye Peizhu was a little surprised when she heard her daughter's thoughts, and then a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.
King Kang was also surprised, and thought about what his daughter was thinking. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the truth might really be like this!
Moreover, by mentioning Zhuangzi at this time, King Ning could use Zhuangzi's affairs to sow discord between him and his wife!
Prince Kang clapped his hands and continued to instruct the secret guards, "Go investigate Prince Ning and see if there's anything unusual about his recent behavior. Forget it, investigate everything Prince Ning has done recently and report it to me."
"yes!"
The secret guard agreed and left. King Kang winked at Ye Peizhu, and Ye Peizhu understood.
[Huh? Why would my father want someone to investigate Prince Ning?]
When did my dad become so smart? 】
Song Jiujiu blinked her big eyes, quite surprised.
King Kang: “…”
