Chapter 101 A sudden appearance——
Yan Hong was also imprisoned by the prince, but he did not die.
It’s not that the prince is so kind to him, but there is too much value in Yan Hong that cannot be killed.
For example, how did Yan Hong know the relationship between Ling Qingyan and the others? If he had seen those eyes, he would have an impression of them, so he must have accomplices.
And where did the magical medicine come from, and what other secrets did he know.
Yan Hong did not betray Shen Chuo, not because of their deep brotherly love, but because if he could get out alive, he would have to rely on Shen Chuo to get close to the prince, if Shen Chuo could do his job well.
After all, he and Shen Chuo have known each other for more than ten years, and they have such a deep friendship, so he knows very well that Shen Chuo will definitely not help him and may even hope that he will die in prison.
You can only rely on yourself.
There is only one bottle of True Word Water, and he is not capable of knowing the secret recipe.
The news that allowed him to survive was that he was the illegitimate son of the favored imperial concubine in Li Kingdom. This news interested the prince, so Ling Zhuoan did not kill him for the time being.
Some people are more valuable alive than dead.
Some hatred may affect the fortune of a country.
Ling Zhuoan fed him medicine and sent someone to supervise him. He secretly sent Yan Hong back to Li Country and exchanged messages with him.
“…”
As the days passed, Ling Qingyan became more and more excited. These days, she asked Mansheng and Shen Chuo to come to Yaohua Palace every day in the name of finding friends to relieve her boredom.
Every day they were given some gold and silver to hide on their bodies and take out of the palace.
On the day of the blessing ceremony, the palace quickly became restless.
Civil and military officials and royal family members gathered in front of the palace gate and got up very early, but Ling Qingyan had been in very good spirits these days, so even though she got up early, she was still very excited and in high spirits.
She had an extremely detailed route map with her, which was carefully made for her by Mansheng and Shen Chuo.
There are also drugs and poison powder and daggers for self-protection, horses at the foot of the mountain, and people arranged by my father.
The majestic and solemn emperor was in front, and the prince, wearing a black crown that showed his extraordinary status, followed behind on a white horse. The royal family members were all good at horseback riding. Ling Qingyan sat on the horse and behind the prince was a group of princesses and princes.
She could feel the scrutiny from everyone without even looking at her.
But neither she nor the prince overstepped the boundaries in either their positions or their behavior.
The prince still had an indifferent expression and did not show any inappropriate look to anyone.
Princess Tangning also took a quick look around and seemed to be in a good mood enjoying the scenery.
A pair of eyes stared at her for too long. Ling Qingyan turned her head to look at the Fourth Princess Ling Xi, raised her lips and smiled, "Why is Fourth Princess staring at me like this?"
Ling Xi looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. She really wanted to ask what the relationship between Ling Qingyan and the emperor was. Had she not heard of the rumors, how could she have the nerve to come to the prayer ceremony? However, considering that the not-so-friendly prince was not far ahead.
The words Ling Xi wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he said, "It's okay."
It was like a handful of cotton was sprinkled on her body, making her extremely itchy. She wanted to remove the cotton, but she had no choice but to let the cotton stay, which made her feel very itchy.
She also believed most of the rumor. After all, the Crown Prince treated Ling Qingyan very differently.
Very good, Ling Zhuoan avoided her and didn't even look at her.
He didn't pay much attention to himself, which was beneficial to Ling Qingyan's escape plan.
The weather is very good today. The clouds have dispersed, revealing a bright and clear blue, like the reflection of a lake, and the sky is clear and blue.
Strands of warm wind blew people's hair, and the royal flag in front fluttered in the wind, looking majestic and extraordinary.
Soon, everyone reached the top of Dongshan Mountain.
The top of the mountain had already been prepared by people from the Ministry of Rites, including offerings and incense for sacrifices.
This year's sacrifice was a little different. The emperor, the crown prince and all the officials prayed to heaven and earth, begging God to protect Daling, and to bring peace and prosperity to the country and the people.
The rest of the royal family went to another place to pray to the ancestors of Da Ling and protect the prosperity of the Ling Kingdom.
Ling Qingyan is not of royal blood, so she consciously stood at the very end, reducing her presence to the lowest level.
Ling Qingyan followed suit and kowtowed very politely.
Dear ancestors and emperors, I will not burn incense, but my heart is truly sincere, as the sun and the moon can bear witness to.
May all ancestors bless me to leave Beijing safely today.
There is no disrespect in not burning incense for the younger generation. It is mainly to escape from your descendants.
Ling Zhuoan is so powerful, but he is indeed a little paranoid. If I don't run away, it will affect his reputation. After all, he could have been a wise king and left his name for eternity.
I sincerely hope that Lingguo will get better and better. If the ancestors appear, please bless me. Because I am so sensible, I hope that when I leave Beijing and start a new life in the future, everything will go smoothly and I will not have to worry about food and clothing.
The money is rolling in and you are making a fortune every day.
Ling Qingyan is very pious.
The princes and princesses used this to burn incense, and Ling Qingyan sneaked away when no one was paying attention.
There were quite a few guards at Dongshan, but the emperor had given Ling Qingyan a token, which was like the emperor himself coming. It could intimidate anyone except Crown Prince Ling Zhuoan.
Ling Qingyan was frightened and was most careful to avoid people.
Her good father was worried about her, so he prepared guards to meet her outside the forest and protect her in the future. Finally, after leaving the crowd, Ling Qingyan found her horse and rode away. The free wind blew on her face, and she rode down the mountain quickly while paying attention to safety.
Everything went smoothly along the way thanks to her careful preparation.
The right time, the right place, and the right people.
Thank you for your ancestors’ blessings!
Just as she was about to descend the East Mountain, she suddenly saw a man coming out from the middle of the road and blocking her way.
"Long time no see, Your Highness." The man was dressed in black and wore a familiar mask, and his voice was even more familiar.
"Mu Xianzhi?!"
"Haven't you been sick for several days?!"
Ever since that day when Mu Xianzhi and the emperor came to the Eastern Palace together, Mu Xianzhi has been on sick leave.
He didn't come to the blessing ceremony, and Ling Qingyan thought he wouldn't show up.
He did not appear in the name of Taifu.
This outfit is clearly an assassin's attire.
"Are you going to cause trouble at the blessing ceremony?"
After all, Mu Xianzhi was a man who dared to kill even the prince before. He was dressed in black, and it was obvious that he had no good intentions.
Mu Xianzhi shook his head and looked at the girl with her ponytail flying high, looking extremely unrestrained.
"Your Highness thinks too highly of me." Mu Xianzhi raised his lips and smiled lightly, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes that were full of evil. "How could I have such high ambitions?"
"It's just that business has been really slow lately. All we've been taking are small, insignificant orders. It's really boring."
"so."
"Kidnap a lying princess to play with me."
