Xu Lin stood there, watching the caravan go by, the smile on his face never fading. Only after the entire caravan had vanished from view did Xu Lin pull the horse behind him and say, "Goodbye, Princess."
On the way back to Beijing, Princess Jinyi was assassinated. After the carriage arrived at the dock, she boarded a ship back to Beijing. When the ship was halfway there, it was dark and suddenly a boat caught fire.
Princess Jinyi's cabin was also covered in smoke. If it weren't for Ah Da and Ah Er's strong vigilance, something really could have happened. The two of them took Princess Jinyi to a safe place. Ah Da protected Princess Jinyi while Ah Er led the guards to fight off the enemy.
In fact, Ah Da's Kung Fu is much better than Ah Da's, but every time it is not a critical moment, Ah Da can't take action. Ah Da has only one responsibility, which is to protect the princess with his own life.
The fight went on outside for a while, but Princess Jinyi, who was hiding in the box, was completely unaware of it.
It wasn't until dawn that the river returned to calm. From time to time, a human body would emerge from the river, and a patch of red could be seen in the shallow water.
Ah Er returned covered in blood. Ah Da glanced at him. There were obvious wounds on his arms, but only minor scratches on his chest and legs. Ah Er nodded at Ah Da, and Ah Da opened the box and carried the princess out.
When Princess Jinyi woke up, it was already daybreak. Her body ached, and she felt something was amiss. She asked Zhuangyun, "Did something happen while I was asleep?"
The maid Zhuang Yun immediately stepped forward and replied, "Princess, I woke up and learned that there was an assassination attempt last night. The guards have already taken care of the person. Princess, don't worry."
To assassinate her? Princess Jinyi was completely bewildered. After thinking for a moment, she ordered, "Let Ah Er come in."
Afterwards, she rose and washed with the help of the palace maids. While they were having breakfast, Princess Jinyi summoned Ah Er to question him. Ah Er had been waiting outside for a long time. When he came in and heard Princess Jinyi's questions, he quickly recounted what had happened last night. Finally, he said, "There are still a few survivors. Princess, please take a look."
Princess Jinyi wiped her mouth and waved her hand, saying, "Just interrogate them, regardless of life or death, and ask them to find out who is behind this." Princess Jinyi, who has never been a spoiled girl, was not afraid to see those people, but she felt it was unnecessary.
After that, there were no more accidents on the ship. After returning to the capital and entering the palace, Princess Jinyi went directly to the imperial study. When she saw the emperor, she cried and said, "Father, please make a decision for me! I almost didn't see you again."
Princess Jinyi rushed to the emperor in tears, frightening him so much that he quickly asked, "What happened? Someone dared to bully my daughter. I'm tired of living!"
Princess Jinyi choked up and said, "I have never offended anyone. I really don't know why they want to assassinate me. I was also drugged with a magic potion. If it weren't for Ah Da and Ah Er, I might have..."
With a bang, the emperor slammed the table, his eyes bloodshot as he exclaimed, "How dare you!" He paused and asked, "Are you hurt?"
Seeing Princess Jinyi shake her head, he finally felt relieved and continued to ask, "Are there any survivors? Have you found out who ordered this?"
Princess Jinyi glanced at Ah Da, who stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, after rigorous interrogation of the five survivors, it was confirmed that the leader of the Cao Gang ordered the assassination of the princess."
With a sneer, the emperor said coldly: "Very good, you are quite courageous."
