Chapter 395 If Xiao Tang knew, she would definitely run away.
[And the one who deserves to die a thousand deaths is the one who was propelled up by that main villain.]
Who knows how he suddenly knew how to pitch a tent?
With a soft cough from the woman, everyone suddenly looked at the princess.
Upon realizing it was the princess, everyone was no longer surprised and left as if they had just understood.
Qi Chen's lips twitched as well, "So it belongs to the Princess... What is its use?"
After much thought, I realized that their military camp tents were larger, while this one was much smaller, probably only suitable for use when traveling and sleeping outdoors.
Xiao Tang smiled wryly, "It's just for sleeping, it's not very useful."
He suddenly caught sight of Di Jingling out of the corner of his eye.
His silver mask revealed no emotion.
He was looking at her too.
But behind the mask, she could vaguely read a hint of a smile in the deep eyes.
Xiao Tang pursed her lips speechlessly.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't understand why the main villain would set up a tent.
Di Jingling originally didn't know how, but when he returned last night, he overheard Xiao Tang's telepathic conversation with the system. The system told her how to do it, requiring only a few simple steps and pressing a mechanism.
Of course, he wouldn't say such a thing.
Xiao Tang wrinkled her nose.
Afterwards, she packed up the tent and urged Ruyi to pack her luggage before they set off back to the capital.
...
At this moment, the imperial palace was not as relaxed as Beixiao City.
The Empress Dowager had nightmares every night, and this day she was awakened by one of them.
When I opened my eyes, I was suddenly met with a pair of sinister eyes.
It's Di Yanhen!
She was startled and screamed.
The man grabbed her by the neck.
"Yanhen, you...you are Qing'er's brother after all. You can take my life, but can you spare Qing'er's life?"
The moment the Empress Dowager's neck was gripped, she felt utterly hopeless.
Ever since she learned of Di Jingling's death, she knew she was doomed.
Without Di Jingling's restraint, Di Yanhen's rise to power was meteoric.
Tears welled up in the Empress Dowager's eyes.
Di Yanhen roared with a ferocious expression, "Why? Who has ever pitied or cared for my Rou Rou!"
In his excitement, he spat all over the Empress Dowager's face, and his shout left the Empress Dowager stunned.
The Empress Dowager wondered what Xiao Rourou's death had to do with her.
She was so wronged.
"Everyone will pay the price for my Rou Rou—you, the little emperor, and Xiao Tang!"
When Xiao Tang was mentioned, Di Yanhen gritted his teeth.
Anger surged to the top of his head.
The chilling aura emanating from him was like that of a wild beast, devouring reason.
The Empress Dowager was so frightened that she trembled.
"You, you, you... calm down. If you kill me now, Xiao Tang will find out and will definitely run away."
"You, you must keep me here, Xiao Tang will naturally come back to claim credit."
The hand that had been gripping the Empress Dowager slowly loosened its hold.
That makes a lot of sense.
Killing the Empress Dowager like this would be too lenient on her.
Moreover, Xiao Tang is a very cunning woman, and she is easily suspicious.
For the first time, I don't think the Empress Dowager is stupid!
He shook off the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager's already frail body fell heavily to the ground, her eyes red and her breathing rapid.
She almost died at this man's hands.
Di Yanhen raised his hand and made a gesture.
"Send men to keep an eye on her and the young emperor. If they try to run away, break their legs!"
The dark figure darted into the hall, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
Di Yanhen left after saying this, glanced disdainfully at the Empress Dowager, and turned away.
He simply didn't want to look at the Empress Dowager's face any longer. Every glance reminded him of his poor Rou Rou being burned alive, a sight that truly pained him.
Back in that dilapidated house, he picked up the blackened brocade box, his heart burning as if on fire.
Just as he was feeling heartbroken, a gloomy male voice came from behind him.
"Do you want revenge?"
Gloomy and somber, like a demon.
Four simple words, yet they resonate like a magic bell.
Di Yanhen, who was somewhat stunned, suddenly turned his head, but the person was wearing a black veiled hat, so his true face could not be seen.
The only impression I had was that he was a tall man dressed in black.
Who are you?
"You don't need to know who I am. Just tell me, do you want revenge? I'll help you."
Di Yanhen frowned. "You won't even tell me your identity. How can I trust you? Do you want revenge?"
"Heh, then you'd better not regret it later." The man said this and turned to leave.
They didn't even give him a single clue.
Di Yanhen let out a soft snort.
Why would we need such a mysterious man to deal with Xiao Tang?
Can't he handle a stupid woman?
...
On her way to the capital, Xiao Tang had already encountered two groups of assassins.
These assassins were either dealt with by Di Jingling's bodyguards during the day, or left far behind by her snowmobile at night.
Two days later...
We'll be able to return to the capital soon.
Xiao Tang sat in the inn, eating the candied fruit on the table.
Yan Shi was filled with emotion: "It seems that Di Yanhen has really gone all out. When we return to the capital, Your Highness, won't there be a trap waiting for you?"
So much poison has been planted in Beixiao City.
That capital city...?
Xiao Tang munched on a candied fruit, smacking her lips as she said, "Do you think he'd go to such lengths to deal with a woman like me?"
Yan Shi was taken aback.
"Now that the Regent is dead, he will surely send people to search for the Regent's body everywhere. He won't care about me."
