Outside the window, there is a continuous snow scene.
It was white everywhere.
Even when the sun comes out, it's still freezing cold wherever you stretch your hand.
A large group of carriages, under a huge escort, marched slowly and calmly towards Jinling City.
Li Qingluo held the heater in his hands and listened to Nanping chattering.
"Sister Luo'er, it seems that we'll have to wait until spring to ride again."
"Although I don't think it's cold today, these ladies in Jinling are all like birds raised in a greenhouse. It really spoils the fun."
"Look, today only you, me, and four other girls ran horses. The others came here to play chess, read books, and chat."
"I really don't understand. If they don't even go to the horse farm, what are they doing here?"
"It was all in vain, and it ended badly for us as well."
Li Qingluo spoke bluntly: "They are naturally hindered by your status, so it's not easy for them not to come, right?"
Princess Nanping chuckled and fell into Li Qingluo's arms. "Then this is all thanks to my mother. Originally, I only wanted to invite you and Sister Nanjia, but my mother said that if we were going to do it, we should do it on a grand scale."
"Anyway, the last winter banquet at the Princess's residence was ruined by Liu Qingzhu, so this time she asked me to take full responsibility and organize it from start to finish."
"But my mother would never have imagined that Liu Qingzhu would have the audacity to come again today."
"But she caused the Fourth Prince to lose his heir, and now she has become his favorite concubine. It's really ridiculous and funny."
"My mother was so angry about the Fourth Prince's childlessness, but he just forgot about it and married a beautiful woman. When I think about my mother's expression when I go back later, I can't help it, hahaha..."
Nan Ping held her stomach and laughed non-stop. Li Qingluo occasionally tickled her and touched her ticklish spots, making her laugh so hard that she couldn't stop.
Suddenly, the carriage braked suddenly and jolted. If Li Qingluo had not hugged Nanping, she would have rolled off the seat.
"What's wrong? What happened? You little slave, if you don't drive properly, I will punish you severely when I get back!"
The groom replied in panic, "Your Highness, I dare not, it's just that everyone in front suddenly stopped."
Nanping got up angrily, cursing as he tried to go out to see what was going on.
Nanny Deng and Que'er rushed over and pushed the double doors of the carriage tightly.
"Girls, there's a fight going on up ahead, don't come out."
"Please wait for me to go ahead and check it out. Que'er and your Highness's guards are waiting here. I'll be back soon!"
Nan Ping and Li Qingluo looked at each other and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
Li Qingluo quickly lifted the curtain of the car window and looked out. Madam Deng had already hurried away. Que'er came over and said, "Miss, don't be anxious."
Nan Ping poked her head out from behind. "You maidservant, at this moment, why are you saying 'don't worry' instead of 'don't be afraid'? I know Sister Luo'er is an archer, but if there's real danger, and she wants to protect her life, you still have to fight for your lives, understand?"
Que'er lowered her head: "Yes, Your Highness is right, I understand."
Li Qingluo shook his head: "No, in this critical moment, you just need to protect yourself first. I can save my own life. Nanping, listen -"
The faint sound of fighting really came from the front.
Nan Ping's expression changed. "If something happens today, how can I explain it to my mother and the powerful families in Jinling City?"
There were seventeen or eighteen girls, at least ten of them came from wealthy families.
Nan Ping suddenly felt that the situation was of great concern, and immediately called all the guards around him: "Hurry up and go to the front to see what's going on. If you need to take action, don't turn back to report. Protect the girls of each family with your life!"
Because Li Qingluo and her group's carriage was the last one to leave, and Nanping was a princess, there were more than twenty palace soldiers and guards following behind.
The carriages in front were each protected by four guards and servants from each mansion, but if anything really happened, those few people would probably only be enough to sacrifice their heads.
The more Nanping heard the sounds of fighting, the more anxious he became.
Li Qingluo couldn't comfort her, but fortunately, Nanny Deng came back soon.
She gasped and quickly replied, "Miss, it seems that the imperial court is arresting some traitor ahead. We are unlucky to have run into them today."
Nan Ping exclaimed, "What?! Was there any girl who got frightened and got hurt?"
Nanny Deng: "We were frightened, but Princess Qinyu was there to steady the ship, so we're all safe for now."
As he was speaking, Princess Qinyu's guards came back on horseback and shouted, "All convoys, turn around and return to camp! Return to camp—"
Li Qingluo: "Right now, we have no choice but to return to the horse farm camp and escape this disaster first!"
Nan Ping: "Then what are we waiting for? We are the last one, and now we are the first one. Hurry, coachman - turn the carriage around and go back, hurry back!"
Li Qingluo took the opportunity to call Que'er over: "Our carriage..."
Li Qingluo whispered something to Que'er, who turned around and disappeared from sight.
Nanping didn't care about Que'er at all. She was like an ant on a hot pan at the moment. She was still worried, so she assigned a dozen guards to the front to protect the team.
"Amitabha, please protect this believer from being implicated today, and keep all of us safe and sound—"
However, at this moment, Princess Qinyu's men came up to the back and said, "Your Highness, our princess said she seemed to have seen His Highness Prince Su. We would like to ask you to lend us twenty soldiers from the princess's mansion to help His Highness Prince Su capture the traitor. Would you be willing to do so?"
