"If I behave myself today, Her Majesty will still not let me go, right?" Chen Qinghan laughed, a little shrilly, "I'm such a rotten creature, I'm not afraid of death anymore."
The queen's face turned pale and blue, looking ugly. She never thought that she could be controlled by her now!
"I will pretend nothing happened yesterday, and Your Majesty should also pretend nothing happened. Only then can we be safe and sound. Otherwise, I will die. Even if Your Majesty doesn't care about her reputation after such a scandal in the royal family, I'm sure His Majesty will not let it go!"
The Queen's chest heaved violently with anger, her face extremely gloomy: "You, you!"
"I'll take my leave."
Chen Qinghan bowed and turned to leave.
The queen was so angry that she smashed the teacup beside her: "Asshole!"
Not long after Chen Qinghan left, a palace maid came trembling with fear and announced, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhennan is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Zhennan strode in and asked, "Is the Queen teasing you?"
The Queen's expression changed, and she said hurriedly, "How dare the Queen Mother tease you, Your Highness? The eunuch who came to see you later was definitely not ordered by the Queen Mother. I don't know where she went in the middle of the night..."
Prince Zhennan had an ugly look on his face. That woman had been drugged and disappeared from his tent last night. She must have gotten herself into the good hands of someone else!
"Your Highness, why don't you think about this? You hold power. Who else in the court would dare to oppose you and ruin your good deeds?"
Prince Zhennan's face turned ashen.
The political situation is in chaos now, and it should be his time to show his power, but he is being constrained everywhere. How can he tolerate this?
-
The horn sounded, and the mighty army broke camp and returned to the city.
Back then, Xie Xianyu and Wanruo were in the same car. Wanruo was so worried about him that she didn't sleep for half the night. She was forced to get up and go back to the city as soon as she closed her eyes in the morning. As soon as she got in the car, she fell asleep in his arms.
After leaving Yanhui Mountain and returning to the capital, Qing'an asked, "Sir, shall we go back to the mansion first?"
Xie Xianyu still had to go to the palace to discuss matters. He glanced at Wanruo, who was still sleeping soundly in his arms, and said, "Let's go back home first."
Their carriage left the emperor's entourage and headed towards Xie's mansion.
The carriage drove out of Zhuque Street and headed towards the main road in the east of the city. The street was bustling with people, and the carriage was not moving fast.
Xie Xianyu lowered his eyes to look at her sleeping face, then raised his hand to smooth the loose hair on her cheek.
Suddenly, his ears moved slightly, he raised his eyes suddenly, and dodged to the side while holding her. Then a feather arrow broke through the air and pierced into the wall of the car.
Qing'an frightenedly pulled the reins and asked, "Sir, are you okay?"
Then a group of men in black surrounded them from all directions, holding knives and killing them directly.
His Majesty is returning to the city today, and most of the imperial guards are escorting the emperor back to the palace. In contrast, there are few imperial guards on the streets. The enemy must have calculated this time to kill.
Xie Xianyu flew out of the carriage holding Wanruo. Wanruo woke up in shock and looked back to see that the carriage was immediately riddled with arrows.
Qing'an immediately blew a whistle, and then Fu Xian and his men descended from the sky and started fighting with the group of killers.
"Sir, you go first!"
Xie Xianyu protected Wanruo with one hand and drew his sword with the other to pierce a killer who was raising a knife to kill him.
Without hesitation, he cut the reins of the carriage, picked up Wanruo and climbed onto the horse, intending to retreat with her first.
Fu Xian and his secret guards are enough to deal with these people. There is no guarantee that they have a backup plan. She is here, and he cannot take risks with her.
"Hold me tight." He held her in his arms and was about to leave.
But suddenly he heard the sound of horse hooves. He looked up and saw a group of people rushing towards him. There were a thousand people in this group, and it was effortless for them to kill these assassins.
Xie Xianyu narrowed his eyes slightly and saw that this group of people were holding a flag with the word "Ding'an" on it.
A female general led the charge with great momentum. Seeing that something unexpected was happening, the assassins immediately retreated.
Xie Xianyu glanced at Fu Xian and said, "Chuei, I want him alive."
"yes!"
Fu Xian took the order and immediately led his men to hunt down Shang Dian.
Xie Xianyu carried Wanruo off the horse and asked her, "Are you okay?"
Wanruo's face turned pale, she was a little frightened and shook her head.
The female general dismounted and walked up to Xie Xianyu, clasping her fists and saying, "I am Zhu Jia, and I have returned to the capital on the orders of Marquis Ding'an to celebrate Your Majesty's birthday. Who are you?"
Xie Xianyu raised his eyes to look at her, his gaze suddenly darkened, and he raised his sword with his backhand and stabbed directly at her.
She turned pale with shock and was unable to dodge. The sword had already brushed past her hair and passed through the air. Then a scream was heard behind her.
When she turned around, she saw an assassin with a knife behind her being stabbed in the throat.
Xie Xianyu said calmly, "Are you from the Marquis of Ding'an? I'm Xie Xianyu."
Zhu Jia looked back at him in surprise, then hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "It's Master Xie. I've heard of your great name for a long time..."
"Did Marquis Ding'an have any letter for you to bring to me?"
"Yes, yes."
Zhu Jia took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Guo Xianyu with both hands. He couldn't help but secretly glance at him. It was rumored that Xie Xianyu was a genius with great foresight, but he never thought that he was also so good at martial arts.
"Thank you very much for saving me just now, Lord Xie. Otherwise, I would have died at the hands of that villain. I was too careless." Zhu Jia couldn't help but laugh.
"No problem."
He turned to look at Wanruo: "The carriage is no longer available, let's go back home on horseback."
Wanruo nodded: "Okay."
Zhu Jia then noticed that the woman beside him, like the other ladies in Beijing, was just pretty and useless at the critical moment.
Wanruo turned around and looked at her: "Thank you, General Zhu, for saving me."
"It's just a piece of cake." Zhu Jia's voice was cold, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
