Chapter 391 Sending you on your way first
"However, I think that since so many assassins in the palace have left the prince and princess unharmed, I suppose I will be fine too."
“Why don’t you come to my residence? I will protect you personally,” Tuoba Yan’er said.
Yan Chenyu laughed and said, "The people of Xixia are too fierce, I'm scared."
Tuoba Yan'er...
The banquet ended quickly.
Yan Chenyu rode in a carriage with Pei Yanchuan and Jiang Wanning, watching Pei Yanchuan and Jiang Wanning rest with their eyes closed.
Suddenly, she laughed out loud, "Your Highness and Your Highness, do you know there's going to be a good show later, so you want to get some rest and refresh yourselves?"
Yan Chenyu wasn't annoyed. She sat to one side, a smile playing on her lips, and lifted the carriage curtain to look at the familiar street outside.
After so long, she's finally back.
Sudden,
The carriage lurched forward, and Pei Yanchuan immediately pulled Jiang Wanning into his arms.
Yan Chenyu managed to avoid being thrown out by clinging tightly to the car window.
"Your Highness, Your Highness," Mo Ran said through the curtain, "a corpse suddenly appeared ahead. I got out of the carriage to check, and it was Lord Zheng."
Yan Chenyu laughed and said, "I wonder who did this, my future husband or Consort Song."
As she spoke, she looked at Pei Yanchuan and Jiang Wanning.
The two ignored her.
“Take a detour,” Pei Yanchuan said simply.
This road leads to the Imperial Street, and if someone commits murder on the Imperial Street and happens to witness it, then whoever reports it to the authorities will be the prime suspect.
Someone will see it tomorrow morning.
Furthermore, this Lord Zheng is not a good official, and it's not worth Pei Yanchuan standing up for him.
"yes."
Mo Ran walked around the carriage and continued towards the Prince's Mansion.
Before they had taken two steps, the carriage lurched again. "Your Highness, there are people blocking the way."
Pei Yanchuan looked up. "They should be looking for this princess."
"Let the princess go down and handle it herself."
Yan Chenyu exclaimed in panic, "Aren't you going to take care of me?"
"Why should I, the king, have any say in your affairs?"
"If anything happens to me, none of you will escape either."
"Do you think I would be in any trouble because of the death of a princess from another country?"
"This princess is only a title bestowed upon her; she is not of legitimate royal blood."
Yan Chenyu panicked, "You can't do this! Aren't you afraid of incurring Nan Li's hatred?"
“What hatred could there be?” Jiang Wanning said with a smile. “Jiang Wanru, you still haven’t learned your lesson all these years.”
"If the King of Nanli really cared about your life or death, he would send you a few maids and servants who know martial arts."
"The army that escorted you here is now camped outside the city, waiting for you to get married before returning. There are about a hundred of them. Do you think they can cause any trouble outside the city even if they don't go back?"
"Your life is still as worthless as ever."
"You ran away, instead of hiding and living a peaceful life, you actually came back to us."
Yan Chenyu stopped pretending and glared fiercely at Jiang Wanning. "With my great revenge still unavenged, how can I hide and live a wretched life?"
"I can't eat or sleep well just thinking that you're still alive and well."
"Yes, I am just a pawn of the Southern Li Kingdom, but do you dare to kill me?"
"If something happens to me in your palace, Chen Jie will definitely take the opportunity to cooperate with Nan Li. How much of a chance do you think you have then?"
Pei Yanchuan said in a deep voice, "Even if you don't die, the result will be the same."
"Since your life or death is unimportant, why keep you alive?"
“No,” Yan Chenyu said, “It is important for me to be alive, but our king only wants one thing, not that he really wants to join forces with Chen Jie.”
Yan Chenyu said, "If he gets his hands on that thing, he naturally won't get involved in your affairs."
"Perhaps it can even help you eliminate Chen Jie."
Yan Chenyu waited for the two to continue asking, but Pei Yanchuan and Jiang Wanning did not ask any further questions.
Since you want something, that thing is naturally not easy to obtain.
Pei Yanchuan had a vague feeling that what he wanted was related to himself.
"Mo Ran, ask the people outside what they want to do?"
Mo Ran responded by asking, "Whom do you intend to kill by blocking our path?"
The man in black didn't speak, but simply drew his sword.
"Your Highness, let me go down and take a look."
Pei Yanchuan knew who the person opposite him was, and he also knew that she was just venting her anger and would not dare to kill anyone else in the carriage except for Lord Zheng.
He nodded. "I will accompany you."
Jiang Wan Ning got off the carriage and looked at the man in black. "Your Majesty arrived quickly, but you haven't changed your shoes. They're too conspicuous."
Song Zhuran subconsciously moved her feet under her skirt.
"I know that Her Highness wants to talk to the princess more today. What do you say?"
Pei Yanchuan and Jiang Wanning calmly stepped aside, and Yan Chenyu inside the carriage...
Song Zhuran simply stopped pretending and ripped off the veil on her face. "Then please do me the favor. I didn't get to have a proper chat with this princess earlier."
"I'd like to communicate more at this moment."
Swallow sinks into fish...
When did Song Zhuran become so impulsive and thoughtless?
It wasn't like this before?
That's why she dared to deliberately make her uncomfortable in public, relying on her understanding of all of them. After all, back then, Song Zhuran also treated her like a dog to deal with others.
Yan Chenyu felt a surge of panic and moved back, shrinking into the corner of the carriage.
"slowly."
Suddenly a voice made Yan Chenyu feel as if she had been saved and had come back to life.
Outside the carriage
Song Zhuran frowned slightly and turned to look at the carriage that had slowly come to a stop beside her. It was the carriage of the Song family.
Lord Song looked at his daughter, "What are you doing here?"
What are you doing?
Song Zhuran said coldly, "If you know what's good for you, go back now. You didn't see anything today."
"If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being impolite."
Lord Song looked pained. "What on earth are you doing?"
"Are those rumors outside true? And when did you learn martial arts?"
"Why are you stopping the carriage of the Prince of Langya?"
Song Zhuran grew impatient with the barrage of questions. She raised the hand holding the sword and pointed it at Lord Song, saying, "I should have killed you sooner."
"That way, you wouldn't be blocking my way today."
"Considering you raised me all these years, I'll give you a quick death today and send you on your way."
"Otherwise, after some time, what I did might lead to the extermination of your entire family."
Lord Song took two steps back before regaining his footing. "What exactly are you talking about?"
"Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in the palace and be a good imperial concubine, assisting your elder sister?" Lord Song said with heartache.
Even though his two daughters were already the most distinguished people in the world,
They were just waiting for the Empress to give birth to a prince; their Song family's future would only be upward, not downward.
But lately, I've felt that both of my daughters are acting strangely, and today at the banquet...
