Chapter 981 Smooth Arrival
"Master, it seems that there are more than one group of people who want to plot against you. One of them is probably taking advantage of the ignorant poor people, and the other group is probably a well-trained assassin."
Duoduo immediately sent a message to Lianyi.
"It doesn't matter. They are all knocked out. I will make sure they stay unconscious for two days so that I can enter Jiannan City smoothly."
"no problem."
Duoduo replied immediately, and then quietly entangled the Second Prince's men, strangled them unconscious and gave them a flower thorn, guaranteeing that they would sleep for two days and would not wake up before the time was up.
Then came the group of poor farmers who disguised themselves as bandits. They were given the same treatment. After they all fainted, Duoduo returned to the post station to report.
"Thank you for your hard work. Do you want to stay with me outside or go back to the space?"
"I am outside with my master. The spiritual energy here is thin, and it is too strenuous to open the space once. Xuanfeng also wants to come out, but because I am small and easy to hide, he didn't snatch it from me."
Duoduo explained, shaking her head.
"Okay, then you can still be my pearl flower."
Then Duoduo turned into a ruby bead flower and was inserted into Lianyi's bun, which was not eye-catching at all.
Lianyi rested for two days before she was "barely" able to set off under the diagnosis of Doctor Chen. The wedding procession was ready to go again, and this time she entered Jiannan City in one go.
Because it was the royal wedding procession, there were people both in the official and private sectors who wanted to establish a relationship with the procession, and the procession also needed to replenish supplies, so Lianyi and his team stayed here for three days.
As a newlywed, Lianyi did not receive guests, and because of her status, no one dared to disturb her. However, the ladies in the city were very considerate and gave her some extra makeup, saying that they wanted to share in the good fortune. Lianyi accepted all of it and gave gifts in return.
These ladies just wanted to establish a relationship with Lianyi so that they would not be left without a way to see her in the future. Lianyi needed money to survive in the palace. Besides having her family as a backer, she had many other places to spend money, so both sides got what they needed and everyone was happy.
The wedding procession then continued to move forward. At this time, they were already halfway back home. Lianyi arranged Duoduo to go ahead from time to time to nip any potential dangers in the bud, so the wedding procession arrived at the outskirts of the imperial city seven days earlier than expected.
Eunuch Cao asked Commander Sun to take a break for a while, and he would return to the palace to report first. The palace would definitely send someone to welcome Lianyi.
Two hours after Eunuch Cao left, Duoduo excitedly informed Lianyi:
"Master, there is a group of people with high martial arts value coming straight towards the wedding procession. Do you need me to deal with them in advance?"
"No, this is the prince's chance to be a hero and save the beauty, leave it to him."
"I see. Then I will just protect my master."
As soon as Duoduo heard it, she knew that her master had made arrangements, and she readily followed suit.
"Take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the people sent by the Meng family who were planted by other forces."
"Have you eaten yet?"
Duoduo was happy.
"What good is there for a mortal body? It's enough for them to get hurt while protecting me. I can just use this as an excuse to return the indenture and get these people with ulterior motives to get out."
Lianyi said as if she wanted to hold her forehead with her hand.
"All right!"
Duoduo immediately wilted.
Lianyi held Duoduo in her hand, rubbed her flower disk, and said with a smile:
"You are a soul-devouring flower, you should pursue something, and don't let these things affect karma. Look at me, your master. I can earn merit every time I complete a plane mission. Do you think I am really lucky?"
"Isn't it?"
"Although luck is part of strength, your master doesn't always have good luck. It's just because I have principles and bottom lines in doing things, and I don't kill easily. Think about it carefully."
"Protect the Crown Princess!!!"
At this moment, a loud shout from Commander Sun suddenly came from outside the sedan chair.
Lianyi knew that the person who was going to take action had arrived, so she immediately let Duoduo out.
At this time, Aunt Yao leaned against the sedan chair nervously and said in a trembling voice:
"Miss, please don't come out! With Commander Sun here, no one can hurt you!"
"I know, Madam Yao, please be careful."
"good!"
Before Nanny Yao could even finish saying "OK", there were sounds of swords clashing and even arrows flying through the air.
Lianyi sensed danger and tilted her head, which was wearing the phoenix crown, to the left. An arrow pierced her red veil.
The arrow was stuck on the inner wall of the sedan chair through the veil, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking. It was obviously aimed at Lianyi, but not entirely at her.
"ah!"
Lian Yi cried out in surprise, and then pretended to faint. Aunt Yao outside the sedan shouted:
“Miss! Miss!!”
At this time, another group of people riding tall horses came straight towards this side in the distance, led by the prince dressed in bright yellow.
"withdraw!"
When the team that had launched the attack earlier saw the prince's team, they immediately waved and led their people to evacuate. Their mission had been completed.
One wanted to run away while the other wanted to show off, and the two sides got entangled halfway and fought like a real fighter.
Commander Sun cursed and asked Madam Yao to check on Lianyi's condition. He then gathered people to surround the bridal sedan. He was afraid that the enemy would make a feint to the east and attack in the west, and completely send the Crown Princess away before she even entered the palace. Then he would have no way to survive.
Nanny Yao lifted the red curtain of the sedan chair and saw Lianyi leaning on one side with her eyes slightly closed. When she saw it was her, she winked at her. Nanny Yao finally let go of the worry in her heart. Only then did she feel her hands and feet going a little weak, especially when she saw the arrow shot into the wall of the sedan chair. She immediately swallowed her saliva.
Then she turned to Commander Sun and said:
"The young lady is fine for now. She must have fainted from shock. I'll let Doctor Chen take a look at her later."
Before she finished her words, a soldier said:
"Doctor Chen is also injured."
"What should I do?"
Aunt Yao said anxiously.
"Don't worry, the Crown Prince is here!"
As soon as Commander Sun finished speaking, the Crown Prince, who had dealt with the people who attacked the wedding procession, rode his horse at a trot to the front of the big red sedan chair and asked in a deep voice:
"Is the Crown Princess okay?"
"Your Highness, an arrow was shot into the Crown Princess's sedan chair. She is fine, just frightened."
Aunt Yao had already knelt on the ground and replied respectfully.
"Let me see."
The prince frowned, jumped off his horse immediately, opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and saw Lian Yi who had fainted, and the arrow. At this moment, he did not think that his princess was being hypocritical, and immediately turned around and said:
"Notify the team to enter the city as soon as possible. Let the troops from the Military Affairs Department deal with the aftermath."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
After the prince gave the order, the team rushed into the imperial city at the fastest speed and entered the palace without any obstruction.
Because she hadn't officially gotten married yet, it was inconvenient for Lianyi to move directly into the East Palace. The Queen ordered that Yunxiu Palace be allocated to Lianyi as a temporary residence, and she lived there before her wedding.
The imperial physician also checked Lianyi's pulse through the curtain and said that she fainted because she was too tired from traveling for days and was frightened. She just needed to drink some calming soup when she woke up.
After thanking the imperial physician, Nanny Yao went to boil the medicine. Lianyi's pulse record had already arrived on the emperor's desk, and kneeling below him was the imperial physician Liang who had examined Lianyi's pulse.
