The moment the carriage stopped, the faces of the three people changed.
At this moment, the scene outside the carriage made the coachman's eyes widen suddenly, and his fear was beyond words.
In the night as dark as ink, the leading man was wearing a black cloak, looking majestic and cold.
His face was hidden in the shadows, only his eyes, shining like cold stars in the faint moonlight, were deep and sharp.
Behind him, more than a dozen men were lined up in an orderly manner, all dressed in black and wearing cold masks on their faces, revealing only a pair of murderous eyes.
They were silent like ghosts, yet exuded a chilling aura.
The sound of horse hooves was particularly clear in the silent night.
The coachman was very panicked. Could it be that the people in the carriage had offended someone and hired a killer to take their lives?
But these people didn't take any action.
The groom suppressed the fear that was surging in his heart and asked in a trembling voice, "Sir, may I borrow your way?"
However, the person blocking the road seemed not to hear anything and did not say a word. The coachman became more and more uneasy and his heart was beating like a drum.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and asked inside the carriage: "Master Zhongli, the road ahead is blocked."
Inside the carriage, Ning Qian and Li Jing looked at each other when they heard this, and their hearts sank.
Seeing the two of them like this, Zhongli Mingchuan frowned, gritted his teeth, and got off the carriage first.
As soon as I got down, I saw the leading man riding on a horse.
It was indeed the man I met today at Qingfengzui. In the dark night, the oppressive feeling caused by this man was even stronger, making it hard to breathe.
Zhongli Mingchuan has traveled all over the country for many years and has seen big scenes before. He felt the strength of these people.
Even more frightened.
Everyone's martial arts seems to be unfathomable, they are definitely not simple!
I'm afraid it won't be a good day to go today.
But these people didn't take any action, maybe they could have some discussion.
Zhongli Mingchuan took a few steps forward, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, what do you want? Why are you stopping us?"
Jun Zechen's gaze was fixed on the door curtain of the carriage from beginning to end, his eyes were burning.
He was waiting for her to come out, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the thin curtain.
"Why am I here? You should ask the other two people in the carriage." Jun Zechen's voice was cold.
"Brother, there is only a wandering doctor and his sister in there. Did you find the wrong person?"
Zhongli Mingchuan said, trying to look calm.
Jun Zechen stopped talking to Zhongli Mingchuan, and his gloomy voice reached the carriage through the darkness.
"Jiaojiao, aren't you going to come out yet? Do you want me to invite you out personally?"
When Zhongli Mingchuan heard the man calling himself "I", his body froze all of a sudden. The coachman was also frightened and trembled all over. His legs went soft and he rolled off the carriage, shaking like a sieve.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Zhongli Mingchuan and the groom knelt down almost at the same time.
Zhongli Mingchuan once guessed that Brother Li Jing and Qianqian might have offended the royal family, but he never expected that it was the current emperor!
Ning Qian, who was in the carriage, heard the noise outside and sighed slightly, his eyes full of helplessness.
She knew that she couldn't escape today, and perhaps her freedom in this life would end today.
As long as Jun Zechen knew that she was not dead, he would never let her go.
Ning Qian slowly stood up and prepared to get off the carriage. Li Jing reached out and grabbed her wrist, his eyes full of worry.
Ning Qian shook her head gently at Li Jing, indicating that he could not leave today.
Li Jing slowly loosened his hand, his eyes filled with reluctance and helplessness.
After Ning Qian got off the carriage, Li Jing followed her down.
Jun Zechen really saw the queen, whom he thought was dead, standing in front of him again, with a man following behind her. He held the reins with such force that veins popped out, and the blood vessels on the back of his hands were like little green snakes, only then could he suppress the anger that was about to burst out from his heart.
She left the palace just to elope with an imperial physician?!
Today, this imperial physician held her in his arms right in front of him!
Ning Qian and Li Jing walked up to Jun Zechen and bowed slightly.
"I, a commoner, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Jun Zechen gritted his teeth and stared at her with her head lowered and a calm expression.
"Could it be that my queen is really a fairy who can actually come back to life after death?"
His voice was thick with sarcasm.
Zhongli Mingchuan, who had been kneeling, opened his eyes as big as copper bells in disbelief when he heard His Majesty's words.
Queen?! Qianqian is actually the queen!
He actually stayed with the queen of a country for five years.
"Your Majesty, I am Ning Qian, not your queen. I heard that your queen died five years ago."
Ning Qian had no expression on her face and spoke in a cold tone.
Her eyes were as calm as water, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"Ning Qian?"
Jun Zechen sneered, his laughter full of sarcasm.
Suddenly, he drew out his sword at lightning speed, and the sharp blade was pressed straight against Li Jing's neck.
Ning Qian raised her eyes instantly and met Jun Zechen's gaze on the horse.
Jun Zechen asked back: "Are you still Ning Qian? Only my queen can stop me from killing people."
He bent slightly on the horse's back, and the captivating murderous aura in his ink-black eyes was as tangible as if it were real, and he fixed his gaze on Ning Qian.
He spat out two words sarcastically, "Ning Qian."
Su Jingyao closed her eyes.
Has he gone crazy in the past five years? Why does he seem much more terrifying and crazy than he was five years ago?
