Chapter 107 Survival
Pei Wanqing has thought a lot since entering the palace, and now she has figured it out.
She had nothing to lose.
She shouldn't have gone against Pu Qiongzhi.
Without Pu Qiongzhi, there is still Fang Miaozhu...
The Ninth Prince cannot gain power at the moment, so naturally he needs support.
Money, power, political parties, army... these things, he can only win over by relying on his in-laws.
The only reason she could think of for being rejected was because she was too targeted towards Pu Qiongzhi!
What the Ninth Prince is looking for is a princess, who can also be of help.
She could provide what he needed, but she couldn't win over his concubines, and even caused unrest in the family, which was already inferior.
In this way, in the eyes of the Ninth Prince, she had lost the grace of a wife.
It took her two lifetimes to understand.
These people may be nothing in the eyes of the Ninth Prince.
This world revolves around men and those in high positions, just like her father, who had the support of her maternal family but still kept a concubine in order to have a son.
But it's too late to say these things now...
Although she failed to become the Ninth Prince's consort, she could still become the Queen Mother!
After leaving the palace, Pu Qiongzhi wanted to throw the letter away.
However, thinking of Pei Wanqing's changes, she found it interesting and simply opened it and read it.
Pei Wanqing is also very interesting.
She actually wanted to surrender to her and win her over to the Ninth Prince?
Pu Qiongzhi couldn't help laughing out loud.
She doesn't really think that I sent her to the palace so that she can live a good life, right?
Or does she still not know that it was her own design that allowed her to enter the palace?
However, even in this situation, Pei Wanqing still wholeheartedly helped the Ninth Prince...
The reason behind this is already very intriguing.
Pu Qiongzhi thought about what Nangong Hua told her.
If she and Nangong Hua were both resurrected from the dead, would the Ninth Prince become the future emperor?
Pu Qiongzhi frowned, "I really can't rule out this possibility..."
However, if she really has such an advantage, why doesn't she take the opportunity to choose a prince who is easy to control?
What's more, with Prime Minister Pei's ability, he has enough capital to even rebel.
She couldn't quite understand Pei Wanqing's thoughts.
The carriage headed towards the Jinnan Palace.
Nangong Jiayu looked at her aunt quietly all the way.
Although he didn't know what his aunt was thinking, he knew he couldn't disturb her at this time.
Sometimes when he was thinking about academic matters, as soon as Zhiyun opened his mouth, his train of thought was completely disrupted!
However, the journey was not very peaceful.
Pu Qiongzhi originally planned to return home directly after leaving the palace, as the imperial physician was still waiting to treat Zhai Lou!
However, she suddenly remembered that she was going to sign a contract with Princess Roujia today.
When two people go into business together, they must communicate well in advance.
But who would have thought...the location of the Jinnan Palace is remote and requires passing through a barren forest.
There was silence all around, and then the sound of an arrow piercing the sky was heard.
"Whoosh——" It shot into the wall of the carriage!
Pu Qiongzhi was startled, "There's a thief!"
"Aunt, be careful!" Nangong Jiayu exclaimed.
The coachman and attendants outside shouted, "Madam, there are assassins!"
"Madam, be careful!" Yan'er shouted hurriedly.
The arrows came again.
Pu Qiongzhi quickly moved to the side and dodged again.
She picked up a big knife from the box beside her and took off the crown on her head with her other hand.
The attire of ladies in the palace was very complicated and it was a bit cumbersome at this moment.
"Brother Yu, hide first!"
She covered Nangong Jiayu with the small tea table and handed him a dagger, "Protect yourself!"
"Aunt, be careful!" Nangong Jiayu grabbed the dagger and hid it.
Pu Qiongzhi jumped out and saw that everyone outside was already fighting.
She quickly joined in.
There weren't many people coming, but Pu Qiongzhi brought even fewer people.
They were fighting almost one on two.
Pu Qiongzhi felt increasingly overwhelmed by the cumbersome clothes.
However, she unexpectedly discovered that the person she was fighting with didn't seem to want to hurt her.
There were two times when the opponent almost hit her vital points, and when she tried to avoid it, she saw that the opponent dodged even faster.
She became suspicious and exposed the flaw on her back, trying to avoid the vital parts and test it out.
But I didn't expect that the other party would hide so quickly.
After confirming this guess in her mind, Pu Qiongzhi's mind worked rapidly.
If these people weren't coming for her, and had no intention of seeking wealth, then what they were doing...
Either it's a delay or it's a sleight of hand!
Pu Qiongzhi was startled and simply put away her sword and ran towards the carriage.
"Brother Yu!!!"
She suddenly opened the curtain, but saw Nangong Jiayu holding a dagger and stabbing the dead man in black on the carriage board.
The man had already fallen in a pool of blood, but he was still like a madman, hitting again and again with all his might...
"Brother Yu! He's dead! Is Brother Yu okay?"
Pu Qiongzhi stopped Nangong Jiayu and carefully checked the child for any injuries.
"Dad, Mom..." His eyes lost their luster and he just looked at Pu Qiongzhi confusedly and shouted.
Pu Qiongzhi quickly hugged him in her arms, "It was my aunt's fault. Don't be afraid, Yu'er! I will protect you!"
The sounds of fighting outside gradually faded away.
"Madam, they are gone! I have sent someone to report to the Prince of Jinnan's Mansion, and someone will be here to pick us up soon!" Yan'er quickly reported the situation to Pu Qiongzhi.
Zhitao, who was following beside them, was so scared that she was trembling under the carriage.
Yan'er pulled her out and asked, "Did you get scared?"
"Sister Yan, why aren't you afraid..." Zhitao knelt on the ground, her limbs limp.
Yan'er was also exhausted at this time and didn't have the strength to help her, "You get up first, the ground is cold!"
"Scared? Of course I'm scared! But my wife and I used to run into this kind of thing all the time when we were out doing business! There were so many robberies!"
"Wow... I'm so useless!" Zhitao couldn't help but shed tears after surviving the disaster.
She felt a surge of fear in her heart and remembered many things in an instant.
Ever since the Madam asked her to follow and serve, she couldn't help comparing herself with Sister Yan'er all the way.
Now at the critical moment, she doesn't dare to fight to the death like her sister Yan'er!
In fact, she is not as brave as her master!
Pu Qiongzhi was still trying to comfort Nangong Jiayu at the moment and didn't notice what was happening between them.
Pu Qiongzhi was still a little dazed until the King of Jinnan arrived with his men.
If anything happened to the child, she didn't know how to explain it to Lord Gongning and Concubine Ru!
Seeing that the Nangong family only has this one child left! Who wants to kill him?
Pei Wanqing? The Pei family? Fang Miaozhu? Or someone else?
Nangong Jiayu was silent for a long time before she realized that she was being hugged tightly by her aunt.
He stretched out his little hand and patted her back, "Auntie, don't be afraid! Yu'er will protect you!"
"Grandfather and father taught Yu'er martial arts. Yu'er can protect my aunt! The men of the Nangong family can only die in battle!"
