Chapter 982: Death is Certain
After receiving the news, the Thousand Islands delegation had already sent a carriage to wait at the palace gate.
The little prince Yi Zhou was standing next to the carriage.
He seemed to have been waiting for a while, and the tip of his nose was red from the cold.
Seeing Yimei coming out, Yizhou immediately took two steps forward and called her "third sister".
Yi Mei didn't even look at him, she just walked past him, lifted her skirt and got into the carriage.
Yi Zhou was just ignored by her.
He stood there all alone, with his handsome face red from the cold, looking like a bullied puppy, so pitiful.
This situation was obviously not the first time it had occurred, and the coachmen and guards were used to it.
They had no right to interfere in the private affairs of the royal family and could only pretend that they saw nothing.
Yi Mei opened the car door and asked impatiently, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
The driver cautiously reminded, "The little prince hasn't gotten on the carriage yet."
Yi Mei's gaze swept towards Yi Zhou, with undisguised disgust in her eyes.
"I don't want to ride in the same car with this little bastard! Let's go and ignore him!"
After saying that, she slammed the car window shut again.
The coachman looked at the little prince with sympathy, whispered an apology, and then drove the carriage away.
Most of the guards followed the carriage, leaving only one guard behind to protect the little prince's safety.
The guard dismounted and wanted to give his horse to the little prince.
Yi Zhou shook his head and said, "No, I can just walk back by myself. I can also take a look around Shengjing City on the way."
The guard did not insist any longer and he led the horse and followed the little prince.
The two of them walked back slowly.
By the time they arrived at the Honglu Temple, it was already past noon.
Everyone had already had lunch and the fire in the kitchen was extinguished. The guards went to find the officials from the Honglu Temple and asked them to prepare meals for the little prince.
However, the official apologized and said that the cook had gone home to rest, and he could only send some snacks to the little prince as a token of his apology.
The guard was a little angry. He felt that the other party's attitude was too perfunctory.
But Yi Zhou didn't say anything and silently accepted the snacks.
He asked while eating.
"Where's the third sister? Has she eaten yet?"
The guard said in a sympathetic tone: "The third princess has already eaten."
The entire delegation treated the Third Princess as their treasure, and even the officials of the Honglu Temple treated her with great respect. If anyone's share was missing, the Third Princess would definitely not be left out.
On the contrary, the little prince in front of him is not loved by his father and mother, and his situation is extremely embarrassing.
If the Privy Councilor had not specifically requested that the little prince accompany him, the Emperor of the Thousand Islands would never have thought of sending the little prince on a diplomatic mission to Dasheng.
Yi Zhou had just finished eating halfway when he heard Yi Mei's voice outside.
"I don't care! I just want the Haishenghua, you have to give it to me!"
Yi Zhou immediately wiped his hands and mouth and walked out of the room quickly.
He saw the Privy Councilor striding out of the room opposite.
Yi Mei followed closely behind, holding a shining sword in her hand!
Guan Ying walked quickly forward and spoke to the third princess behind him.
"The Sea Flower is something that the Great Sheng Emperor wants. Please forgive me for not being able to give it to you at will. If you want the Sea Flower, you can ask the Emperor for it after you return to the country."
Although the sea flower is precious, there is not only one of it. The royal family of the Thousand Islands alone has collected more than a dozen of them.
Given the emperor and empress's love for the third princess, I believe that as long as she asks for it, the emperor and empress will definitely give it to her.
But Yimei insisted on taking possession of the sea flower that Ying was keeping!
After being rejected repeatedly, she immediately got a little angry.
She pulled out the sword hanging on the wall, pointed the tip of the sword at Guan Ying, and forced him to hand over the Haishenghua.
Guan Ying didn't want to confront her head-on, so he simply pushed the door open and walked out.
Yimei chased after him with a sword in hand.
"Stop talking nonsense. Today, I want the Haisheng Flower in your hand. If you don't want to die, hand it over immediately!"
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of her, Guan Ying had to call for his guards and forcibly took the sword from Yi Mei's hand.
When her sword was taken away from her, Yi Mei became even more furious.
She pointed at Guan Ying angrily.
"Just wait for me! This matter is not over yet!"
After saying those harsh words, she rushed out angrily.
Guan Ying gave a wink, and immediately four guards chased after him.
Yi Zhou stood not far away, staring at the scene in a daze.
When he noticed Guan Ying looking over here, he subconsciously stood up a little straighter.
Guan Ying bowed to him and said, "Your Highness, the Little Prince."
In this delegation, only Guan Ying would salute him seriously when he saw him.
It was because of Guan Ying's strong recommendation that the emperor of the Thousand Islands agreed to let his little prince go on a diplomatic mission to Dasheng.
Yi Zhou was full of gratitude to Guan Ying.
Yi Zhou asked cautiously.
"What happened to Third Sister?"
Guan Ying said helplessly: "The Third Princess insisted on taking the Haisheng Flower away. It was an important item to be used in a deal with the Emperor of Dasheng. How could she just take it away? I disagreed, and she got angry."
Yi Zhou was puzzled: "Why does Third Sister suddenly want Hai Sheng Hua?"
Guan Ying sighed, "She probably wanted to use the Haisheng Flower to please the Emperor of Dasheng. After all, everyone knows that the Emperor of Dasheng is in urgent need of the Haisheng Flower. She likes the Emperor of Dasheng, so naturally she is willing to do anything for him."
Yi Zhou felt that even if his third sister gave the Haishenghua to Emperor Dasheng, the Emperor Dasheng might not necessarily like her.
Judging from the attitude of Emperor Dasheng towards the imperial concubine, at least in the short term, there will be no other women in the eyes of Emperor Dasheng.
I’m afraid the third sister’s plan will fail.
After Yimei left the Honglu Temple, she didn't know where to go, so she just wandered around the city.
Four guards followed her all the time, responsible for protecting her safety.
When I was with the imperial concubine before, she mentioned some special foods in the city.
Following the advice given by the imperial concubine, Yimei went looking for food one by one.
With the comfort of delicious food, she felt much better.
Yimei kept strolling around until it was completely dark, and then she decided to go home.
Who knew they would be ambushed halfway!
There were a total of seventeen assassins on the other side, who deliberately ambushed on the road leading back to the Honglu Temple. There were not many people around, and it was a dark and windy night, so it was difficult to notice them ambushing in the dark.
As soon as Yi Mei showed up, this group of assassins rushed out!
Seventeen people besieged five people.
The Yimei side was outnumbered and was quickly defeated.
Four guards were killed one after another.
Yi Mei was so frightened that her face turned pale and she screamed continuously.
Several families living nearby heard the screams and some of them stuck their heads out, but when they saw so many assassins, all of them armed, they immediately shrank back in fear.
The assassins raised their knives and slashed at Yimei!
Yimei was so frightened that her heart almost stopped beating. She froze in place and even forgot to dodge.
She felt that she was doomed to die this time.
…
Good morning everyone!
Yimei: My Lady Imperial Concubine, please save me! QAQ
……
Please give me a monthly ticket~~
