Ye Xinran was stunned.
"I……"
"Xinran, I know you are a smart and kind woman! But I am not stupid! Many things have signs!" Zhu Qian narrowed her eyes and looked at Ye Xinran.
"Why are you here for the martial arts competition? How do you know someone is going to ambush us? You seem to know a lot!"
Ye Xinran pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Zhu Qian was not in a hurry. She picked up the tea and took a sip, waiting for Ye Xinran's answer.
Gu Yanming wanted to speak, but since this was a matter between two women, he felt it would be better for him not to interrupt!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss, the meal is ready!"
Zhu Qian immediately stood up happily, went over and held Ye Xinran's hand.
"Xinran, let's go and eat first! How can you think about things when you are hungry!" Zhu Qian said to Gu Yanming beside her with a smile.
"Your Majesty, let's go and have dinner together! Try the cooking skills of the chef in my mansion. It is definitely not worse than the one in the prince's mansion!"
Ye Xinran was confused by Zhu Qian's change of expression and could only follow her to eat. After a busy day, she was indeed hungry.
The three of them were sitting at the table, and just as they were about to start eating, a gust of wind blew.
Old Yan stopped and said angrily, "You didn't even call me for dinner!"
Zhu Qian curled her lips, "If I hadn't called you, you would have come too!"
Mr. Yan ignored her words, sat down, picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He only ate greasy pig's trotters, fish and sweet pastries, but no vegetables.
Ye Xinran thought, this Mr. Yan must have three highs!
The meal was quickly finished. Mr. Yan wiped his mouth, patted his butt and left.
Zhu Qian and the others returned to the study.
This time Zhu Qian didn't ask, Ye Xinran spoke directly, telling them about their meal at the inn, the encounter with the two fat men, Fang Sihuan, and Yin's affairs.
Zhu Qian frowned after hearing this.
"I feel like this matter is not over yet?" Ye Xinran said faintly, "I feel like this will be a big game, and the ultimate target is the Lu family and Imperial Tutor Lu in the court."
Gu Yanming was also thoughtful, "Whose hand could this be?"
Suddenly thinking of what Fang Sihuan said at that time, he said, "If what Fang Sihuan said is true, King Wensheng will rebel. Then could it be that King Wensheng wants to deal with the Lu family? After all, Master Lu supports the orthodoxy."
"This is very likely!" Zhu Qian nodded. "I have to write a letter and send it to Yanjing City! Let my cousin pay attention to it!"
"Don't mention Prince Wensheng's rebellion!" Gu Yanming said, "We are just suspicious! Don't give others any handles!"
Zhu Qian nodded.
"It's getting dark! Can you just rest in our house?"
Ye Xinran shook her head. She still had to go see Ye Liang and his wife to reassure them. She also had to go back to the post station to reassure the old prince and the old princess.
Zhu Qian knew their current situation and did not force them to stay. She personally sent the two of them to the gate of Zhu’s house and arranged a carriage to take them there.
Ye Xinran didn't hesitate any more and got on the carriage with Gu Yanming and headed to the Guest Inn.
Zhu Qian entered the mansion only after she saw the two men walking away.
"Zhu San!"
A man in black appeared instantly and knelt behind Zhu Qian.
"Come on, bring your people and go to that house with me again!"
"yes"
…
Ye Xinran and Gu Yanming told the inn that there were guests coming, and they talked to Ye Liang and his wife, and finally they were relieved. The two of them left the inn, and Ji Hua chased after them.
"Master, I feel like someone is watching us today!"
Ye Xinran nodded. He didn't know who he belonged to.
"You all need to be careful. Go back and have a rest! If anything happens, report to me immediately." Gu Yanming frowned.
Seeing that Ye Xinran didn't say anything else, Ji Hua turned around and went back to the inn.
"Things are becoming more and more complicated!" Ye Xinran sighed.
"It seems we can't leave for a while." Gu Yanming narrowed his eyes and said, "Someone doesn't seem to want us to leave either!"
Ye Xinran took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She felt the same way.
It was already late when they returned to the post station. Gu Yanming saw Li Yang, and they exchanged glances before looking away.
Back in the room. The old prince, the old princess, Gu Yanxin, and Gu Yanlin all came to greet them. They were very worried. After making sure that the two were fine, they each found a place to sleep.
Ye Xinran didn't want to sleep, so she left the room, and Gu Yanming followed behind her.
Jianshu and Daoqin also left the room.
Several people sat down in an open space.
Before he could say anything, he heard Ma's yelling and cursing from a room.
"What if that bitch doesn't come back tomorrow? Will she implicate us and cause us to be beheaded?"
"Mom, is that possible?" Gu Yanxu said with a guilty conscience, "She's going to run away, what does it have to do with us!"
"Have you forgotten that she is your wife? If you had known this would happen, you should have divorced her earlier!" Ma cried.
"But, it's no use saying this now!" Gu Yanxu said hesitantly.
"It's all your fault. Why did you have an affair with that bitch back then? Otherwise, I wouldn't have..."
"She drugged me, and I didn't know..."
Ye Xinran raised an eyebrow and asked Jian Shu, "What happened to Yin later?"
Jianshu looked at Gu Yanming secretly but didn't dare to say anything.
Ye Xinran looked after Yan Ming.
Gu Yanming coughed lightly and asked, "Do you have anything else to do?" and then he just chased them away.
Dao Qin stood up and said, "Phantom is back! Everything is fine now, I will go down and have a rest!" Then he left.
Jian Shu also stood up and said, "I have nothing to do. I will go down and rest as well."
After both of them left, Gu Yanming looked at Ye Xinran and said.
"Yin was raped by more than 20 people and died."
Ye Xinran pursed her lips. She had known that this would happen. But she would not save her. If Yin dared to take a few girls to die, she would not be able to live anymore.
"What about the other women she took out?" Ye Xinran asked.
"They are all back! Elder Yan gave them medicine, and they just thought they met some criminals and were rescued, so they forgot what they saw in the village."
Ye Xinran nodded, this is the best. Seeing such a scene, I will probably have nightmares for the rest of my life.
"Are you still practicing today?" Gu Yanming asked. He thought that Ye Xinran was very tired today, so why not take a day off.
"Practice! It's only a few days away!"
The two of them didn't talk, one was practicing and the other was accompanying him. They didn't go back to their room to sleep until late at night.
After making sure Ye Xinran was asleep, Gu Yanming quietly got up and left the room.
In the second half of the night, the road leading to the next stage was somehow blocked by rocks rolling down from the mountain.
In the Hua Mansion, Hua Zhang leaned on the beauty couch, with his legs lazily being pinched. He heard from the servants that Su Changfeng led his men to destroy the mountain stronghold. Zhu Qian also came out of the mountain stronghold safely, so he was not in a hurry.
"Sir, let me wash your feet!"
A new maid suddenly took off Hua Zhang's shoes and was about to pull off his socks.
Hua Zhang's face changed slightly, and he kicked the man away. He said coldly, "Drag him away and beat him to death!"
If the maidservant committed any mistake, she would be beaten to death and cry for mercy.
"Sir, please spare this servant of mine!"
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her and she was dragged out directly.
