“Until the very last moment, the outcome is still uncertain. What kind of defeat are you talking about?” Chen Ziyun smiled.
She spoke such humble words, yet her words clearly revealed her pride.
At this moment, a young eunuch came in and whispered a few words in Jiang Zhenning's ear.
After the young eunuch withdrew.
Jiang Zhenning looked surprised and said in a low voice, "The Ninth Prince went along too."
"What?" The Empress was slightly surprised, but quickly regained her composure. "If we can solve two major problems at once, that would be perfect. If not, it won't be easy for them to escape."
Jiang Zhenning hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
The carriages of the Ninth Prince's Mansion soon approached the foot of the first mountain forest, and Yu Ying in the carriage was slightly anxious.
The prince seems to be off guard; the empress's plan should succeed this time.
But they probably only want to deal with the bandits and won't harm the prince, right?
Ji Fengyao sat upright in the car, closing her eyes to rest.
In fact, she was focused on using the "Gathering Spirit Technique" to actively absorb spiritual energy, carrying out her last-minute cramming strategy to the end.
Due to her special physique, the spiritual energy she attracted lingered around her, making the spiritual energy inside the carriage significantly more abundant than elsewhere.
Inside the carriage, Shang Xiye easily noticed the difference in the carriage today.
The refreshing sensation was invigorating, and the internal energy within the body stirred, becoming more active than usual.
Shang Xiye looked at the little female bandit.
Her eyes were slightly closed at the moment, giving her a somewhat otherworldly air, clearly indicating that she was focused on cultivating her inner energy.
Shang Xiye didn't expect that she could create such an atmosphere just by focusing on cultivating her inner energy, which shows how special her physique is.
If this secret were to be discovered by outsiders, the consequences would be unimaginable.
I fear that some will try to forcibly take her away, while others will use various means to seduce her.
Shang Xiye sighed softly to himself:
It seems he needs to work hard to win his young wife's heart, so that she won't be seduced by someone else.
He also needs to work hard to become stronger so that he can protect his little wife.
The carriage traveled uphill, winding its way into the forests where the autumn leaves were turning yellow.
Hearing the coded birdsong coming from the forest, Yu Ying's hands trembled with excitement:
Once that bandit dies, the prince certainly won't walk away carrying a corpse.
At that time, she was "excessively frightened," so she could do what the bandit did and cling to the prince and refuse to get off. The prince was so gentle with a bandit, so he probably wouldn't be so cruel to her either. He would most likely carry her back to the mansion with him.
Just thinking about that scene is exciting!
She had been in the Ninth Prince's mansion for several years and had finally gotten this opportunity!
Now that Consort Jia, Bai Rumei, and Mi Jiang'er are all gone from the manor, as long as we get rid of that bandit, the remaining two are no threat.
If she could just use a little more trickery to gain the prince's favor, the Ninth Prince's mansion would be hers, Yu Ying's, domain!
"Princess," Shang Xiye called softly to Ji Fengyao.
"Um?"
As Ji Fengyao opened her eyes, the prince pressed down the small square table between them, and a strong arm pulled her into his protective range.
This simple, natural gesture made Ji Fengyao's heart skip a beat. He was really good to her, although he was still somewhat different from her master.
Just a quick hug.
Ji Fengyao couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. While trying to convince herself, she reached out and hugged him, her hands trembling.
Shang Xiye: "..."
His wife's reactions always surprised him. Did she think this position was better for defending herself?
Okay, that's not impossible, it'll just take a bit of effort.
