Chapter 32 Self-cultivation of the top love brain? !
Jiang Yingcheng's excuse for the treasure hunt was very perfunctory. He just said that when he came to Pinfangyuan yesterday, he accidentally dropped the jewelry he was carrying in the yard.
The two people with guilty consciences couldn't wait for her to start "treasure hunting" right away. As soon as she finished speaking, the two of them nodded hurriedly and said they would accompany her to look for it.
Jiang Xingran looked suspiciously at the three people's faces again and again, but couldn't find any clues, so he had to follow them.
A group of people walked into the yard in a mighty manner.
Pinfangyuan does not occupy a large area, but it has all the necessary houses. This results in the rooms being crowded together in the backyard, with complicated routes.
Jiang Yingcheng pretended to look left and right at first, but the closer she got to the target location, the faster her steps became, and finally she trotted straight towards the room.
007 was unable to warn in time and could only retreat in despair, having the same escapist personality as Jiang Yingcheng.
Eunuch Changshun had already secretly reminded his subordinates behind him to walk lightly and try not to make any noise. He also ordered people to call the secret guards in the dark over, and only then did he feel at ease and followed closely behind the young prince.
Cheng Yunmeng also made a gesture to Jiang Xingran to keep quiet.
Before reaching the destination, Jiang Yingcheng lightened his steps and began to move forward slowly and tiptoe.
Suddenly, there was a conversation in the room, and everyone subconsciously held their breath.
"Brother Xiangyang, do you feel better today?"
It was a young female voice. Cheng Yunmeng recognized it in an instant. The voice belonged to the palace maid named Xun Tao.
But the tone was much gentler than when facing the mother and son.
Then, the slightly weak voice of an adult man sounded: "Xiao Tao, I'm so sorry for you these days, otherwise, I really don't know..."
"Brother Xiangyang, as long as your injury can be healed, Xuntao will do anything for you willingly," she seemed to smile, her joy naturally revealed in her voice, "Do you need any other herbs for your injury? Xuntao can go out and find them!"
"Thank you, Xiaotao, but... the herbs I need next are really too expensive..."
"It's okay, Brother Xiangyang," Xun Tao said anxiously, "I saw a red hairpin gifted to you in Lan Zhaorong's jewelry box. I can steal it out tomorrow, sell it outside the palace, and exchange it for money to buy medicine for you!"
The people who were eavesdropping outside the house were all startled.
Everyone didn't know where to look.
What kind of life did Empress Zhaorong live in the palace? She even dared to bully a palace maid so openly.
Cheng Yunmeng clenched his teeth tightly. While he was filled with anger, he was also filled with an emotion called shame.
This has always been the life of the mother and son in this courtyard. She has long been accustomed to it. Today, she just heard these experiences again with her own ears.
But......
But today, there are still so many people here.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yunmeng suddenly remembered that there was a little guy here.
She quickly squatted down, stretched out her hands, and covered Jiang Yingcheng's ears.
This is a dirty world that belongs only to adults, and kids should better listen less to it.
Jiang Yingcheng opened his big round eyes and smiled at her with a smile on his face.
Cheng Yunmeng's heart softened, as if the whole world had become much purer.
The unbearable laughter and talking in the house continued, and the boy's inner voice also rang out almost at the same time.
"Xiao Tao..." The man's voice was very moving, "When my injuries are healed, I will definitely take you away from this cannibalistic palace."
[Hehehe, when you go to the guillotine, remember to take her with you! ]
The boy's inner voice was full of strangeness, but with the innocence that only belongs to this half-grown child, Cheng Yunmeng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Who is it?!" A loud shout suddenly came from inside the house.
Jiang Yingcheng was startled and looked around in every corner, finally finding a weapon that suited his taste - a shovel for shoveling snow.
[Go! !] She raised her short legs and ran towards the house.
Cheng Yunmeng also hurriedly followed.
However, before the two could rush into the house, the shabby wooden door was kicked open from the inside with a bang.
A man with sharp features walked out of the house with a sword in hand, and the murderous aura surrounding him was as real as a substance.
Jiang Yingcheng, who had just grasped the shovel, froze in place.
【This... this is different from what we agreed on! 】
007 had clearly said that this guy was very weak and would be easy to deal with, so how could he still rush out with such force?!
Cheng Yunmeng also staggered back two steps, his pupils trembling, and he had the same doubts in his heart as Jiang Yingcheng.
This person... doesn't look like someone she can handle!
While shouting for someone to come, Eunuch Changshun ran to Jiang Yingcheng and hid her behind him with his trembling body.
"This man is the assassin who tried to kill your Majesty last month. Anyone who can capture him will be rewarded handsomely!"
The man had a fierce expression on his face, but he didn't want to fight with anyone here. He tiptoed and was about to escape from the roof.
However, he was stopped by the secret guards following Jiang Yingcheng, and the situation became very tense for a while.
The man somehow managed to recover his inner strength briefly, and fought back and forth with the secret guards. Although he was not suppressed too harshly, he still found it difficult to escape.
His eyes quickly scanned the yard and finally fell on Jiang Xingran.
Having lived here for so long, he already knew exactly who Jiang Xingran was.
Even if he is no longer favored, he is still the prince of Emperor Mingze. As long as he can hold him, there is still a glimmer of hope...
Xun Tao ran out the door and after seeing the scene clearly, she screamed and collapsed to the ground.
She heard what Eunuch Changshun had just shouted.
But wasn't her brother Xiangyang the bodyguard who was lynched by Concubine Rougui? How could it be so...
What about the assassin who wanted to kill someone?
Jiang Xingran realized the assassin's intention when his eyes swept over him. At this moment, he saw Xun Tao lying in a trance at the door. His dark pupils turned twice, and he raised his legs and ran towards the wide open door.
He placed the dagger in his hand against Xun Tao's neck and shouted at the center of her trembling body: "If you don't want me to accidentally kill her, you'd better surrender immediately!"
No one stopped.
The assassin known as Brother Xiangyang even chuckled sarcastically: "Kill me if you want."
Xun Tao raised his head after being in a trance for a while, and muttered as if he hadn't reacted, "Kill me if you want?"
She had taken good care of Brother Xiangyang for so long, and he had just tenderly said that he would take her away with him...
Telling the person who threatened her with a knife, "Kill me if you want?"
Then what about the tenderness and affection between them during this period? !
Xun Tao used all her strength to stop the trembling all over her body. Her eyes, which were red with anger, closed tightly and then opened slowly.
She exerted force suddenly, and taking advantage of Jiang Xingran's distraction, she snatched the sharp dagger with a desperate attitude and quickly placed it on the opponent's neck.
He shouted loudly: "Brother Xiangyang! I have captured the Seventh Prince!"
"With him, we can escape from the palace!!"
Jiang Yingcheng was stunned.
Could this be the legendary——
