The three of them got on the carriage together and arrived at the hot spring villa in the sunset.
Only then did Xie Wan Ning realize that what Pei Yuqing had said that day, that there were no guest rooms in this villa, was a lie.
Not to mention the guest rooms, there are even several guest courtyards, each with a hot spring pool for guests to take a bath.
That person just didn't want to share the bed with her, so...
Xie Wan Ning felt a little annoyed, but more than that, she missed her husband.
They had been apart for so long that she felt that the man's lies to her were no big deal.
He just didn't want to be separated from her, what could be wrong with that...
The newlyweds who were in love with each other were forced to separate. Xie Wan Ning was not really heartless, so how could she not miss him at all?
Especially in the place where two people have fallen in love, the longing for each other is even more urgent and fierce.
Xie Wan Ning finished her medicinal bath early, lay on Pei Yuqing's bed, and fell asleep with longing for him.
However, that night, not long after Xie Wan Ning fell asleep, there was a violent knock on the door.
An anxious voice came from outside, "Miss Xie, wake up quickly, there is an enemy attack."
Xie Wan Ning thought she was dreaming, otherwise how could she hear Ming Feng's voice.
But the door in front of her was creaking from the knocks from the person outside, and it was about to collapse under the force, leaving her no time to lose consciousness.
Xie Wan Ning was horrified. She quickly put on her clothes and walked towards the door.
She knew that before Lu Ziyan left Beijing, he left Mingfeng behind to protect her secretly. Since the other party showed up at night, then...
"What happened?"
Ming, who was outside the house, almost wanted to break in, but when he saw that the ancestor finally opened the door, he didn't care about anything else and said concisely: "The villa was surrounded overnight, and it is estimated that there are one or two thousand people."
Xie Wan Ning looked around and asked, "Where's Pei Er?"
When she came out of the Duke of Pei's mansion, she brought more than a hundred soldiers with her. Such defense was already airtight under the feet of the emperor, but at this moment, she didn't see a single soldier.
"It's too late. Follow me first." Mingfeng grabbed her wrist and said, "Pei Er found out that someone surrounded the yard overnight and went to fight the enemy. However, the enemy was not a mob like the bandits and refugees. They haven't come back yet and may never come back."
Couldn’t come back…
Pei Er is dead!
Xie Wan Ning's heart sank. Pei Er was quite strong in fighting power, and there were more than a hundred palace soldiers with him, but he was dealt with silently.
The hot spring villa is not very big, and there was quite a bit of noise here. Pei Yuxuan and Pei Lin were woken up and ran over from their own yards.
Both girls were surprised when they saw Ming Feng.
Xie Wan Ning didn't have time to explain to them, and said hurriedly, "Don't ask anything, let's leave here first."
As she said this, she was about to reach out to pull them, but Ming Feng beside her said, "Please forgive me, young lady. The people outside are all experts. We are short of manpower here. I can only protect you and leave."
"You want me to abandon my sister and run for my life?" Xie Wan Ning was furious. "I can't do such a thing. If you want to leave, go ahead!"
Ming Feng's face changed and he advised: "The Jingjiao camp is less than fifty miles away from here. Let's break out first and then it won't be too late to get reinforcements!"
It's hard to say whether he can even protect one person and leave safely, so how can he dare to bring so many people.
The more people there are, the bigger the goal.
Ming Feng was unwilling to take risks. He was willing to risk his life to protect Xie Wan Ning, all because of his master's order. As for the other people in the Pei family, they were nothing to him.
But Xie Wan Ning still refused.
Although she couldn't be sure which prince's people were outside, she was sure that they were coming for her.
Pei Yuxuan and Pei Lin are both ordinary girls. Even though they have noble status, they cannot influence the overall situation in the court.
Only her!
Thanks to Lu Ziyan, in the eyes of some people, she is the key to the overall situation.
The words of Concubine Xian are still fresh in their minds. They want to make her disappear in order to influence Lu Ziyan.
If she ran away, the other party's action would fail, and these two beautiful ladies would be left here to face their wrath. It is predictable what would happen.
Pei Lin was so scared that she fell to the ground, holding Xie Wan Ning's legs tightly with both hands, begging with a trembling voice.
Xie Wan Ning helped her up and comforted her in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, the person they want is me."
Mingfeng's expression kept changing. Just when he was wondering whether he should use force, Pei Yuxuan said, "When the villa was built, there was a secret room. We can hide in it."
Thinking quickly, she headed towards the master bedroom.
Xie Wan Ning's face was filled with joy, but she was stopped by Ming Feng when she tried to follow him. "It's no use hiding. If the people here can't find you, they will dig deep into the ground."
No matter how secret the secret room is, in the eyes of those who live on the edge of death, it is only a matter of time before it is found.
Mingfeng didn't dare to take the risk. Rather than hiding and being found, he believed that he could escort the person out.
As long as you get out, you will find reinforcements and won't sit and wait for death.
Both are good.
"Let's do it!" Pei Yuxuan pulled Pei Lin, whose legs were limp with fear, and said in a deep voice: "We are all a burden. You can't escape with us. If you don't want to die together, then we have to hide first. Sister-in-law, you break out and bring in reinforcements..."
"No!" Xie Wan Ning said: "If you are found..."
"This is the best way," Pei Yuxuan interrupted, "Don't hesitate, sister-in-law, hurry up!"
The people brought by Pei Er and Ming Feng are defending outside. They don’t know when they will break in, so there is really no time to hesitate.
Ming Feng made a prompt decision: "Have someone change into the two girls' clothes and come out to confuse the view. This way we can delay the battle for a while longer."
