"Yes, I also think she has bad intentions."
Zhao Yunzhu pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement to Aunt Hua, "Let's go, let's go back."
The virtuous princess completely spoiled my mood.
She had no intention of continuing to stroll around, and the most important thing was to leave the place as soon as possible.
The group walked towards the carriage of Prince An's Mansion.
But after walking for a while, the path ahead was pitch black, and even the moonlight could hardly illuminate the road ahead.
The cold wind exudes an inexplicable feeling of unease.
Everything around was eerily quiet, with only the occasional crow making a miserable cry in the dark night.
"Princess Yunce, be careful, there might be danger here."
The leading guard looked alert and stepped forward to give a serious reminder.
Zhao Yunzhu nodded.
The maids following behind her also had serious expressions on their faces.
Zhao Yunzhu was protected by everyone and walked forward carefully step by step.
Her expression was tense, and her eyes were groping carefully in the darkness.
He pricked up his ears and carefully identified any abnormalities in the surrounding environment.
suddenly.
A series of rapid footsteps were heard in front of me, and the cold wind made an unsettling rustling sound in the dark night.
In a flash, the road ahead was surrounded by a dozen masked men in black.
Today I feel like going out for a walk.
It seems that someone wants to spoil her fun and doesn't want her to feel at ease.
"Be careful, leave one alive."
Zhao Yunzhu frowned and gave instructions to the guards.
"yes."
The leading guard answered, and everyone understood in a glance. Two guards stayed to protect Concubine Yun Ce, and the rest of the guards followed the leading guard, drew out the long swords they carried with them, and went to meet the masked man in black.
Aunt Hua and Linglong, with serious expressions, were guarding Zhao Yunzhu closely in front.
Zhao Yunzhu was protected by servants and came to a corner.
She looked at the chaotic situation and wondered in her heart where the assassin sent to kill her came from.
Her travel had not been disclosed before, so how did they know the route she took?
Is it Princess Xian, Song Shumin? It shouldn't be her, she doesn't have the ability.
Is he the virtuous king? Why did he want his life so much? For the sake of King An, who bravely fought against the enemy at the border?
I'm afraid so.
The guards sent by the steward of Prince An's Mansion to Princess Yunce are all the most skilled in martial arts in the palace.
Soon, more than half of the masked men in black were killed.
"Leave him alive!"
Seeing the masked man in black gradually losing his strength, Zhao Yunzhu reminded him again. The leading guard looked at Concubine Yunce and said, "Yes, Concubine Yunce, please rest assured!"
When the chaotic situation was completely restored to calm.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the masked man in black gritted his teeth and committed suicide by taking poison.
Not a single person was left alive, because they had the most powerful poison in the world hidden in their teeth, which could kill people in just a few seconds.
The leading guard had a look of guilt on his face; he never expected to end up like this.
Even though we were extra cautious, we still ended up in this situation.
"It doesn't matter."
Zhao Yunzhu tried to comfort him softly, but the other party was determined to die.
In the end, no useful clues were found on the masked man in black.
Zhao Yunzhu had already vaguely guessed this result.
"It's okay."
She glanced at the assassin's body on the ground, ordered someone to report to the police, and asked the injured to return to Prince An's Mansion for treatment first.
"Miss?"
When Aunt Hua saw her young lady turning around and going back, she hurried forward to stop her.
"Mammy, don't worry. Everything is fine now. I want to go back and see Song Shumin."
The leading guard and the remaining six guards protected Concubine Yunce behind her.
They have no right to ask what their master wants to do. The only thing they have to do is to protect their master.
Aunt Hua knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she could only follow him with trepidation.
The boat is still docked on the shore.
Song Shumin sat on the deck. On the stove on the table in front of her, the boiling water in the purple clay teapot made a crisp hissing sound.
"I knew you would come back."
Song Shumin placed one hand on the table, her soft palm supporting her chin firmly.
The corners of his lips curled up to reveal a faint smile, and there was a hint of cunning in his bright eyes.
"It's you?" Zhao Yunzhu was still a few steps away from the shore when she stopped and spoke in a cold voice.
Seeing Princess Xian Song Shumin shaking her head, Zhao Yunzhu frowned.
"It's not me. How could I have such ability? I'm just an accomplice at best!"
Princess Xian answered straight to the point with a smile, then slowly stood up and stood on the deck.
The guards behind Zhao Yunzhu drew their swords, ready to engage in a fierce battle.
Zhao Yunzhu knew that Song Shumin was waiting for her here because she probably had something else to tell her.
He turned to look at the guards behind him, signaling everyone not to act rashly.
"It seems that the virtuous princess is waiting for me here. I'm afraid she has something else to tell me."
Seeing the virtuous princess' faint smile, Zhao Yunzhu understood that she was probably right.
"Princess Yunce, the palace banquet will be held in a few days, and I want to make a deal with you."
"I would like to see your Majesty. If you are willing to help me, I will help you rescue your niece from the hands of the wise king. How do you do that?"
Zhao Yunzhu's pupils trembled, and waves surged in his heart.
"What did you say!"
"It seems that Concubine Yunce hasn't received the news yet." Princess Xian crossed her arms, her smile more confident. "Even today, the Xian prince's men have taken your niece away. I think you will receive the news by tomorrow at the latest."
Zhao Yunzhu clenched his hands into fists, gritted his teeth, and the anger in his eyes seemed like it would burst out in the next second.
"Song Shumin, go back and tell the Xian Wang that if you dare to harm even a hair on my niece's head, I swear I will bury the entire Xian Wang family with you!"
She gritted her teeth and spoke every word.
"Don't worry, I'll pass on the message."
Song Shumin leaned lazily against the cabin, "The virtuous prince said that as long as you can let me and the emperor talk alone at the New Year's Eve banquet, he will release your niece!"
"Today's assassination is simply the virtuous king's attempt to teach you a lesson. If you refuse, the virtuous king has promised to throw your niece into the mountains to feed the wild beasts!"
After saying that, Song Shumin waved goodbye to her, "Princess Yunce, it's getting late. I'm going back first. You should go back early too."
Zhao Yunzhu watched Princess Xian turn around and enter the cabin, a smug smile hidden in the corners of her lips.
"Miss..." Nanny Hua was full of worry. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. Countless words were stuck in her throat.
My heart is hanging high, feeling anxious and uneasy.
How could she not worry about Miss Chun'er?
"Leave the city!"
Zhao Yunzhu spoke in a firm tone. She didn't know whether what Song Shumin said was true or false.
She didn't dare gamble with Chun'er's life, she couldn't afford it.
"Miss……"
When Aunt Hua heard her young lady say she wanted to leave the city, worry was about to overflow in her eyes.
