Qin Mohan gave a cold laugh: "This is still for the sake of Princess Rong."
"Princess Rong?"
"That's right. As long as you are still alive, Princess Rong cannot marry me as her principal wife. So Father Emperor is looking for an opportunity to make trouble for you. But considering that it is Grandmother, Father Emperor cannot do it himself, so he handed the matter over to the Crown Prince."
But the Crown Prince is afraid that if you are gone, the Princess of Rong will definitely marry me and become my principal wife.
This is the last thing he wanted to see. After all, I was already deeply favored by my father, and once the princess of Rong Kingdom married me, I would become the consort of Rong Kingdom.
So the Crown Prince did this in order to prevent me from marrying the princess of Rong Kingdom and to gain the support of Rong Kingdom.
Furthermore, he himself wanted to marry the princess of Rong Kingdom to solidify his position as crown prince.
After hearing this, Ye Qingcheng nodded: "I see. I knew he wouldn't be so kind. He was calculating his own interests... Hmm? That's not right! If that's the case, then how could he have sent those assassins to kill me?"
"I don't quite understand this either. I originally thought that he sent someone because he didn't want to disappoint his father, as it was on his father's orders."
But then I thought about it again, and it didn't seem to be because of that.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly: "If it's not because of this, does he also want to kill me?"
"Probably! After all, you are my queen, and getting rid of you would make me resent my father."
"Hehe! I never expected that the Crown Prince, who is usually so immersed in pleasure, would actually come up with such a scheme that kills three birds with one stone."
"Killing three birds with one stone?"
"Isn't that right? He came to tell you that your father ordered him to take action against me, and that's something you can be grateful for."
On the other hand, eliminating me will cause a rift between you and the Emperor, and you will not listen to the Emperor and marry the Princess of Rong.
"In that case, wouldn't all the benefits be his?"
"Yes! That's right, but such a plan is probably the Empress's scheme."
"The Empress?"
"Yes! In addition, according to my investigation, the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince have now joined forces."
"Join forces?"
"Yes."
"Ha! They really won't give up."
"So, this trip out of Beijing is likely to be anything but peaceful."
After hearing this, Ye Qingcheng glanced at Qin Mohan.
He sighed inwardly.
Sigh! I just wanted to live a peaceful life in this ancient world, but I never expected to get caught up in the power struggles of the imperial court.
Is my life really just about fighting and killing?
In his previous life, he was a special agent in China, spending his days tracking and killing people. Now, he has transmigrated to this ancient era, yet he still cannot live a peaceful life. Is it possible that God gave him this ability just to prevent him from having a peaceful life?
Thinking of this, Ye Qingcheng sighed heavily again, speechless.
Seeing that Ye Qingcheng had fallen silent, Qin Mohan asked in confusion.
"Qing'er, what are you thinking about?"
Hearing Qin Mohan's question, Ye Qingcheng snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head: "No, I was just wondering if you also have a lot of doubts about me?"
After hearing this, Qin Mohan shook his head: "I believe you are Ye Qingcheng. Although I don't know where you got your skills from, as long as you are my wife, that's enough."
Upon hearing this...
A look of emotion appeared on Ye Qingcheng's face.
"Thank you, Qin Mohan. Although there are some things I can't tell you right now, as long as you trust me, that's enough for me."
"That's not enough, I want to stay with you for the rest of my life."
Well…
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng blushed and looked shy.
Upon seeing this, Qin Mohan's lips curled up slightly.
But just then...
donkey…
A startled horse cried out.
Immediately afterwards.
The entire carriage swayed as if it were about to overturn, tilting in an arc.
The sudden turn of events caused Ye Qingcheng and Qin Mohan to lose their balance.
"Your Highness...Your Highness, be careful, there are assassins."
While the two were still regaining their footing, Qingyi's tense voice rang out from outside.
However, before she could finish speaking...
Qin Mohan and Ye Qingcheng supported each other to steady themselves.
After all, both of them were martial artists, and their skills were superb.
So this slight swaying is nothing to them.
As soon as the two regained their balance, the swaying carriage also stabilized.
But just then...
A series of piercing, sharp sounds ripped through the void and reached their ears.
at the same time.
Countless sounds of clashing swords rang out.
Upon hearing the noise outside, the couple's expressions instantly darkened.
Qin Mohan's eyes turned cold: "Hmph, they really can't wait. I had barely finished speaking when they set up an ambush."
Ye Qingcheng also said coldly, "If that's the case, then we'll kill as many of them as they come."
After saying that.
Without waiting for Qin Mohan's reply, she lifted the carriage curtain and stepped out of the carriage.
Seeing this, Qin Mohan quickly followed.
After the two got out of the carriage, they did not get off, but stood on the platform.
Qingyi and Ningxin stood guard on either side of the carriage.
Xiao Tao, Xiao Cui, and Xiao Xin hid behind Ning Xin.
The group saw them come out.
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
"Yes! Xiaotao, are you alright?"
"We're fine," Xiao Tao shook her head.
"That's good."
Ye Qingcheng nodded.
Then they all looked down.
now.
In front of the carriage.
