Ling Xi's face reddened from being lectured, but she was still a little wronged. "I'm just too worried. Wouldn't he just have to wait for those people to die? " As Ling Xi spoke, tears were already in his eyes.
"Princess Hua-Yang is a magnanimous person. Although I paid some price, she agreed." The Old Uncle Zhang said.
Hearing that, Ling Xi heaved a sigh of relief, his face revealing a happy expression: "That's great, now I should be able to face him, right? When he comes back, everything will be all right. "
Ling Xi's words made the Old Uncle Zhang shake his head, his expression becoming extremely complicated: "Girl, don't be too stubborn in everything. Those people betrayed you and me, they are already people who deserve to die. You used all sorts of excuses to make those people stay. But don't forget, you and I are not free people after all. It was only a temporary measure to work with the princess consort now. "One day, you and I will be pawns."
Old Uncle Zhang's words made Ling Xi's face darken, "I know."
"It's good that you know this. Do your job well, don't think about the person who left you here anymore. If that kid had really been able to take responsibility back then, he wouldn't have left you alone to look after so many refugees! " When Old Uncle Zhang finished his sentence, there was even a hint of reprimand.
That's right, no one knew that the gentle and strong Miss Ling Xi who cared for others outside was only waiting for one person. For that person's words, he wanted to stay in this Refugee areas.
Of course, this was another story.
"royal sister-in-law, I hate that underground world." Princess Wuyou said to Murong Yue after he left the courtyard of the Old Uncle Zhang. Murong Yue could not help but be moved and ask: "Why?"
Princess Wuyou shook his head, his eyes also filled with confusion. "I don't know either, I just feel that something will happen there."
"Don't worry, no one will touch that place. I'm only using the water there." Murong Yue knew that the Princess Wuyou was also concerned about him, so he said this with a good temper. Princess Wuyou's gaze fell on her body.
Under the sunlight, Murong Yue's face did not look very clear, only that pair of phoenix eyes were still eye-catching.
Princess Wuyou liked Murong Yue's gaze because she could always see the gentleness she wanted within. Available... Today's matter caused her to feel slightly suspicious in her heart. Why did the royal sister-in-law bring her to this place?
What did the royal sister-in-law hope him to discover? Or ? Princess Wuyou did not dare to continue thinking about it and kept quiet.
"Who is it!" At the exit of the Southern part of the city, two blade wielding men walked towards Murong Yue and the Princess Wuyou, vigilantly watching the two. In the surroundings, there were still many people who were pressed down here.
Princess Wuyou, who was originally thinking about something, was suddenly interrupted like this, and immediately became furious. He raised his head, and when he saw that it was two officials, he coldly snorted: "How dare you! Who am I? Go and call Jiang Zilan out for your grandaunt! "
"Our lord has already been sent by the Your Majesty to investigate the assassins. We were ordered to stop those who tried to escape. "Please make it clear." The one who spoke was not the two people who stopped Murong Yue and the Princess Wuyou.
It was another person walking over from not too far away. This person was dressed in the uniform of the imperial guards. However, his clothes were embroidered with golden edges. It was obvious that he was of a much higher rank than the other two. Princess Wuyou snorted, with a look of disdain: "What's the relationship between investigating an assassin and This Princess? Go get him! Didn't you want to know who your aunt is? "Just ask him!"
The three words "This Young Noble" caused the hearts of everyone present to thump. One must know that the nobles had naturally come in large numbers today as well, and it was difficult to ensure that there would not be any princess who would stealthily run out to see the State Advisor. If they were to run into the princess now, perhaps even ten heads wouldn't be enough.
Seeing Princess Wuyou making things difficult for others, Murong Yue wanted to laugh. It had to be said that when Princess Wuyou was being unreasonable, no one could stop him. However, it was also because of this that the suspicion of her and the Princess Wuyou was eliminated.
No assassin would do something so obvious in front of so many people. Princess Wuyou was indeed smart.
"So it's Your Highness. Your Highness, please wait a moment." Without a trace of anger on her delicate face, it only took a short while for Murong Yue and the Princess Wuyou to see Jiang Zilan.
At this time, Jiang Zilan was still wearing the same patrolling uniform, but it was no longer as exuberant as before, and was instead more dejected and dejected. The gazes they used to look at Murong Yue and Princess Wuyou were also filled with hidden bitterness.
The others didn't know what was wrong, but he had personally put Murong Yue and Princess Wuyou in, so he naturally suspected these two people first. In particular ? Neither of them was the type to stop things. Only the heavens knew how much he wanted to rush out to find the Princess Wuyou and fight to the death with Murong Yue when he was just questioned!
"I wonder what business Your Highness and Royal Concubine have with me?" Jiang Zilan's current tone was not very good, and he was even a little tired.
Hearing this, Princess Wuyou's expression froze, but he still arrogantly raised his head and willfully said: "These subordinates of yours wanted to investigate This Princess, and they even used a knife to scare This Princess. Jiang Zilan, you've grown up! You even dare to block This Princess's way! "
Hearing that, Jiang Zilan felt a headache: "My little mistress, some of them have never seen you guys before, it is normal for them to stop you. Furthermore, Your Majesty has personally ordered that no one is to leave until the assassin is found out. "
"Even This Princess is not allowed? Humph! Would the This Princess still be able to assassinate the State Advisor? " Princess Wuyou said with dissatisfaction.
"Young mistress, you should just relax for a while. You can leave after you find out more about it." Jiang Zilan said helplessly. It wasn't that he wasn't willing to let Murong Yue and Wuyou go, it was just that the situation was extremely serious right now.
Furthermore ? It was definitely done by these two women!
Jiang Zilan shouted from the bottom of his heart, but did not say much. Instead, with a calm expression, he said to the two guards: "The two of you, this is Your Majesty, and this is Seventh Princess.
When the two saber-wielding guards heard his words, they shuddered and immediately kneeled down.
"Humph!" "All of you are sensible." Princess Wuyou snorted. He turned around to look at Jiang Zilan, and said with a bit of grievance, "I said ? Can't you really let me go back? If royal father knew about my Li Palace, I would be dead for sure! "
You know you made a mistake? Jiang Zilan rolled his eyes. The current him did not even have the strength to breathe. He snappily said, "Anyways, I have already been killed by you guys, so hurry up and leave. "Later on, remember to go to the prison to see young master."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Zilan ordered the guard at the door: "Your Highness is about to return to the palace, hurry up and move aside."
Here, Jiang Zilan held absolute power. Although an assassination attempt had occurred, the Emperor did not question the people of Jiang Family at all. In fact, he only wanted him to stay here and guard the place.
If not, Your Majesty would not have really done anything to Jiang Zilan.
Therefore, when these people listened to Jiang Zilan's orders, they naturally gave him and the Princess Wuyou a path.
"Thank you." Princess Wuyou turned around, smiled mischievously at Jiang Zilan, and then left while pulling Murong Yue along. Jiang Zilan looked at Princess Wuyou's back, a trace of helplessness flashing past his eyes, and a little doting.
