Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard it while sitting in the car. It happened that Hongying didn't go out with him today. Instead, Nanxing, with a cold expression, frowned when he heard it and glanced out through the curtain.
Mu Hu, who was still trotting along with the carriage eagerly, suddenly felt a chill and stopped involuntarily. He stood there in a daze until the carriage sped away, looking like a big dog that was inexplicably disliked by others for unknown reasons.
Ren Yaoqi thought the general who had just patrolled the city was very interesting and couldn't help but smile. However, she was a kind person, and even though Hongying was not there, she did not make any jokes or ask any questions.
Xiao Jinglin also just realized that Mu Hu, the charcoal-faced man, had been eyeing her personal maid. She couldn't help but snort coldly, thinking that it was true that if the top beam is crooked, the subordinates will be crooked too. Like master, like subordinates.
The Prince Xian's Mansion and the Ren family are both in Baoping Hutong. Although the two families are not too close, there are few carriages and pedestrians on the street at this time, so Xiao Jinglin's carriage quickly arrived at the Ren family's door.
When Ren Yaoqi was about to get off the carriage, Xiao Jinglin suddenly said, "During the banquet just now, at least three waves of people tried to enter Yunyang City, but were stopped by Mu Hu's men."
Ren Yaoqi paused as she was about to say goodbye after hearing this, and didn't get up in a hurry. She thought for a moment before frowning and asking, "Is he from the imperial court or Ningxia?"
The troops entering Yunyang City right now were definitely here for Li Tianyou's wedding. No wonder there were so many more patrolling soldiers in the city today, yet so few people on the streets. Ren Yaoqi had sensed something was amiss along the way, and now, after hearing Xiao Jinglin's words, she finally sensed a hint of tension. No wonder Xiao Jinglin had insisted on personally escorting her back.
"Probably all of them." Xiao Jinglin still had an expressionless look on her face. She was someone who had experienced the cruel baptism of the battlefield. She wouldn't even raise an eyebrow when the enemy was at the gates, let alone a few small shrimps?
However, she still warned Ren Yaoqi, "Stay out of your homes lately. Although Yunyang City, under the watchful eyes of the Yanbei Palace, is relatively safe and no one dares to make any drastic moves, you can't be sure who might resort to some cunning tactics." Xiao Jinglin also recalled Ren Yaohua's capture last time and feared someone might resort to some underhanded tactics to bring disaster upon Ren Yaoqi. After all, besides Li Tianyou, Ren Yaoqi and her mother were the closest bloodline to Prince Xian.
Xiao Jinglin's worry was beyond words. While Ren Yaoqi felt warmed, she thought of another thing. Xiao Jinglin reminded her so solemnly to be careful, and the princess was going to attend Li Tianyou's wedding banquet in person today. Does this mean that there will be some big moves in the Prince Xian's Mansion in the coming days?
Ren Yaoqi's mind resurfaced with the gentle and compassionate words that Li had said last time. Li said that she would never let her suffer any injustice.
Ren Yaoqi thought so and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jinglin inquiringly. Xiao Jinglin seemed to know what she was thinking. Although he didn't say anything, he nodded slightly.
Ren Yaoqi immediately realized that his guess was correct, and a hint of contemplation appeared on his face.
Seeing her frown, Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but comfort her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Ren Yaoqi looked up and smiled at Xiao Jinglin when he heard this: "Well, I'm not afraid."
The two of them talked for a few more words before Ren Yaoqi got off the carriage and returned to his house.
After Ren Yaoqi left, Xiao Jinglin's carriage turned around and headed for the Yanbei Palace. Along the way, Xiao Jinglin and Nan Xing were not talkative, so the carriage was very quiet, as if there was no one in it. It was rare that neither of them felt uncomfortable.
