After not seeing him for a long time, Xie Siheng's handsome and deep face looked even more angular, and his aura was impossible to ignore when he stood there.
He glanced at Ji Changying who was staring at her with wide eyes, then walked towards Jiang Qianruo without looking away, bent down slightly and apologized.
The moment Jiang Qianruo saw him, many emotions flashed in her eyes, pain, sadness, complexity and pity.
After all, this was the younger generation whom he had watched grow up and loved for so many years. No matter how painful and upset Jiang Qianruo was, he knew in his heart that this child was innocent.
Finally, she sighed and reached out to help him up: "Why are you here? Are you okay along the way?"
"The people in the capital have been very restless recently. Calculating the time, you should be arriving soon. The Emperor asked me to come out to greet you. I encountered some small insects along the way, and dealing with them took some time, so I'm a little late."
Xie Siheng raised his head and glanced around silently before answering.
Jiang Qianruo smiled and said, "It's not too late. The timing is just right."
After confirming that the people coming later were their own people, Xing Wu and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. After helping to get rid of the remaining people, they skillfully bandaged their wounds.
Ji Fengyi and the others also checked each other for injuries.
Tang Qingfeng whispered to Huang Lao's ear: "That's great now, new love and old love, what do you think uncle should do?"
Old Huang glared at him fiercely: "Shut up! Why don't you go and see the injured person? All the years I've spent teaching you have been wasted! You have no sense at all!"
Tang Qingfeng's face full of gossip suddenly disappeared, and he went to check on the wounded with a frown on his face.
Ji Changying was checking in the dark whether the masked men in black had any valuables on them.
Anyway, they are all ownerless now, so whoever gets them owns them.
The capital is big and it is not easy to live there.
She had already felt the soaring prices before she even arrived.
"Girl!" Ji Fengshou sneakily held two silver bills in his pocket and looked around cautiously: "I found this, hehe!"
He showed Ji Changying the two corners of the silver bills in his arms, then immediately held them tightly again.
He found all these!
Ji Changying glanced at it approvingly: "We've had a good harvest tonight."
"That's right! These people are much better than the ones from a few days ago. Those people were so poor that even a rat would cry when seeing them. Dad even touched their underwear and got nothing!"
It's been half a month, and after touching so many people, I finally saw something! Ji Fengshou suddenly felt that the suffering of the past half month was not in vain.
"Miss Ji!"
The father and daughter were talking when Ying Er came over and greeted them happily.
Ji Fengshou winked at Ji Changying and sat down on the corpse as if he was going to rest. "Long time no see. Go talk to this little brother. Dad will sit here for a while."
Ying Er looked at him in surprise: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Mr. Ji's taste is getting stronger and stronger."
There are so many reasons why he couldn't rest, but he actually sat on the corpse to rest. I admire you!
Ji Changying: “…”
"When did you come here?"
Ji Changying turned around and left with Ying Er while talking.
"We set out as soon as we received the news this morning. We originally planned to pick you up this afternoon, but we ran into some trouble along the way, which delayed us until now. I didn't expect you to have such a relationship with my prince, and that we would meet so soon."
Ying Er was full of emotion.
Because of the eldest princess, his status as the eldest son of the royal family has become awkward, and even the four of them don’t know what their future holds.
Once the eldest princess's background is made public, it is still unknown whether the four shadow guards will be taken back by the emperor.
Ji Changying looked at him puzzledly: "What is my relationship with your family's prince?"
Ying Er was surprised again, "My prince's mother is the eldest princess! Your mother..."
Ji Changying widened her eyes: "Your prince is not from some marquis's mansion..."
Wait! It's normal for the mother to be the eldest princess and the father to be a marquis, right?
So, it means Xie Siheng’s mother and her mother… are they real or fake princesses?!
Ying Er and her stared at each other, "This..."
The two spoke and fell silent at the same time.
"The prince personally investigated this matter for a long time and presented the results to me. You..."
Ying Er wanted to say that the prince was also innocent, after all, he was not born at that time, but after thinking about it, he, a shadow guard, seemed to have no right to say so.
Scratching his head, he shut up.
Ji Changying glanced at Xie Siheng, who had lost a lot of weight and was talking to Jiang Qianruo.
Unexpectedly, he is the eldest princess's son!
And from what I heard before, it seems that his father, the Marquis, is not that good either.
After his son was lost, he actually found an imposter to replace him. Now the identity of his biological mother has also become fake. His grandfather, who was powerful and loved him, is no longer his biological relative. I don’t know how they will get along in the future.
Hiss~ How can I describe how tragic this is?
"If my mother doesn't care, then I care even less. In comparison, what I'm more concerned about now is who sent the assassins during this period? Do you know?"
As soon as Ji Changying withdrew her gaze, Xie Siheng felt it, and his tense back slowly relaxed a little.
Looking at Jiang Qianruo in front of him, he said solemnly: "I intend to bring all these crossbows and corpses back to the capital and hand them over to the emperor for his decision."
"Whose family is it?"
Jiang Qianruo's words were sharp. These people were none other than those princes who had taken action. It was just that no one knew which one of them was so impatient and unable to handle such a heavy responsibility!
Xie Siheng was silent for a moment. "Before we left the capital, we received news that Prince Yi's men had made unusual movements and sent a number of assassins out of the capital. The people who tried to stop us on the road discovered Prince Zhuang's men among them. What happened tonight... is still unclear."
Jiang Qianruo laughed in anger: "Good! Each one of them is really good!"
Perhaps some of this information is deliberately intended to confuse the public, or perhaps all these people are involved.
Regardless of who it was, Jiang Qianruo was completely furious this time: "Bring them all back to me. I want to see what the emperor says this time! Everyone wants me dead, but I want to live!"
Xie Siheng had been speaking without emotion, but now his words were filled with sincerity: "You will live a long life."
Jiang Qianruo turned her head to look at Xie Siheng, raised her hand and pinched Xie Siheng's wrist. She sighed: "Heng'er, you have lost a lot of weight."
Such actions and addresses brought Xie Siheng back to his childhood.
Every time A'niang took him to the palace to see his grandmother, she would always gently pinch his wrist to see if he had gained weight.
If I feel he is fat, I always tease him. If he is thin, I always feel distressed and ask others to bring him lots of food and coax him to eat.
His mother was acting coquettishly with his grandmother and accusing him of being a picky eater.
It all seemed like it happened yesterday, but when I came to my senses, everything had changed.
The stern expression on Xie Siheng's face fell for a moment. His throat was dry and he moved his lips: "The weather has been unpredictable recently, so I've eaten less."
