Since ancient times, the battle for succession has been bloody. As the blood of the royal family, everyone wants to become the emperor. With so many people competing, it is inevitable to form cliques and factions to consolidate power.
If they don't want to be brought down and still want to keep their official positions, they can only think of a way out.
They thought that as long as they surrendered all their forces to Helian Jing and then used Xia Wanning to threaten Helian Jing and force him to accept their surrender, they would be able to escape unscathed and continue to stay in Jeju to enjoy wealth and glory.
However, little did they know that this time the emperor had issued a death order. Helian Jing had already obtained all the evidence of their corruption, so he had to return to the capital to prove his strength in order to stand out in front of his father and many other princes.
The emperor has more than a dozen sons, and there are too many people who want that position, so he must be cautious in every step.
They haven't shown their sincerity or proof that they will be useful to you in the future, and you still want to join us? Are you dreaming?
What's more, he has now found out where Xia Wan Ning is hiding and has sent his most capable guards to rescue her. Once she is rescued, they will no longer have any value or bargaining chips, and will not even be qualified to negotiate.
If it weren't for Xia Wanning, Helian Jing would feel that it was a waste of time to even meet such idiots.
…
In the villa, Xia Wanning and Jiang Sui had just woken up from a nap on the couch. They were both calm and composed. After getting up, they asked the maid outside to bring in their toiletries and had a delicious breakfast.
What a big heart.
In fact, after Xia Wan Ning calmed down, she had figured it out. If Helian Jing didn't even have this kind of strength, then what was he going to do to get the throne? So, she just had to wait for someone to come and pick her up.
Since she wasn't panicking, Jiang Sui certainly wasn't panicking either.
After they were done, the two even continued to talk about the scripts in the room. Jiang Sui told her about several other types of scripts, and Xia Wanning was very interested in them. Jiang Sui also knew that she liked the kind of scripts with cool heroines.
Xia Wanning has always had an idea, which is to set up a drama troupe after returning to Beijing. Now that she has several scripts provided by Jiang Sui, she feels very strong.
"Sui Sui, I plan to set up a different troupe when I return to Kyoto. Thank you for telling me so many interesting stories. I will write to you when my troupe is up and running."
"Different troupes, how are they different?" Jiang Sui was a little interested. He wanted to know how different our dignified heroine was.
"In fact, I think that the singing and dancing of opera troupes is very noisy, so I wonder if it can be done in a less noisy way? It can be like ordinary people living their ordinary lives, telling a story?"
Jiang Sui could understand what she said. The heroine was indeed advanced in thinking. What she meant was to act in a drama.
"I think I know what you mean!"
"Don't worry, Sui Sui. I won't let you waste your brains. When we get out, I'll give you 1,000 taels of silver as payment for the scripts you mentioned. After we return to Kyoto, I'll review and revise them. I must write a script for The Female Prince Consort."
Xia Wanning wanted to go through all this, she definitely wouldn't let Jiang Sui do it for nothing, wouldn't that be cheating him?
They have provided you with such a good script, so you should at least show your appreciation, right?
One thousand taels, this amount is an unexpected fortune for Jiang Sui.
With her current ability, she finally managed to open a shop, but she didn't know when she could earn the one thousand taels.
Forgive her for being superficial, she really couldn't resist the temptation of the one thousand taels.
It feels so good to suddenly have a few fewer years of struggle.
"As long as you like it, I won't play dumb with you. I have no resistance to money. I will not refuse your 1,000 taels."
Jiang Sui does not hide anything and shows his truest side. Sincerity is always the killer skill.
Sure enough, at this moment Xia Wan Ning felt that she was truly genuine, not at all pretentious, just being what she was, not at all an idiot.
She likes her real personality.
…
The guards sent by Helian Jing had unknowingly sneaked into the birch forest and surrounded the villa.
They all wore processed sleeve arrows on their hands, and the arrows shot out made almost no sound, and could kill people without anyone noticing.
However, they did not kill the people. Instead, they coated the arrows with medicine. Once the arrows were embedded in the skin, they would immediately make the people dizzy and unconscious.
When Helian Jing arrived in Jeju, he was not prepared to kill anyone. Since they had no intention of killing his people, he would naturally leave some wiggle room for them.
The secret guards guarding the villa fell down silently without making any sound.
However, the people in the villa had not reacted at all and did not notice anything wrong.
Xia Wanning was still chatting with Jiang Sui, and the old women who were guarding outside couldn't help but complain. These two masters were really extraordinary. They were abducted here, but they were still talking and laughing. Aren't they worried about their lives?
Soon, the sound of fighting was heard in the villa. The secret guards around Helian Jing had all been specially trained, and each of them had first-rate skills, so it was no problem for them to deal with these people.
Xiao Hechuan stood outside the villa, waiting quietly, with one hand behind his back. He still had a blank expression, as if he was planning a strategy.
In less than a quarter of an hour, their people had cleaned up the scene and the villa was under their control.
"Mr. Xiao, you can go in now."
Helian Jing's confidant came out to inform him, and his attitude was very respectful.
Because Helian Jing said that this Mr. Xiao might become their helper in the future and he must not be offended.
Xiao Hechuan nodded at him as a polite response, then stepped into the villa to find Jiang Sui.
Helian Jing's confidants felt that they saw the shadow of their master in Xiao Hechuan, both of them had a similar aura.
The maids at the door saw many people coming, but they were not their own people. They were so scared that they wanted to run away, but they were subdued in a few moves.
The guards were afraid of offending Miss Xia, so they just found the key, unlocked the door, and stood outside the door to answer:
"Miss Xia, everything is fine. The kidnappers have been subdued. You are frightened. The master sent us to pick you up."
Xia Wanning had expected this. She gave Jiang Sui a reassuring look and prepared to take her out.
But the next moment, Jiang Sui heard Xiao Hechuan's voice.
"Sui Sui, I'm here to take you home!"
As soon as his voice rang out, Jiang Sui, who had been calm before, suddenly felt a huge uproar in his heart.
She opened the door and walked out before Xia Wanning. The moment she saw Xiao Hechuan, she actually felt a sense of grievance.
