Jiang Rao's body jolted forward as the carriage suddenly stopped. She held on to the wall of the carriage, stabilized her body, and immediately raised the curtain of the carriage. Ming Shao was rushing in from outside and threw herself on Jiang Rao's body. Protecting Jiang Rao, he said, "Girl, I met a bandit."

Jiang Rao pinched her palm and said coldly, "Don't panic."

"Let the robbers rob and tell them that we are willing to give them everything of value."

After listening to Jiang Rao's instructions, Ming Shao nodded, rushed out of the carriage and shouted, "Madam said, I am willing to give you all the valuables! We won't report to the officials, you take the valuables and leave. "

Inside the carriage, Jiang Rao raised her hand and grabbed the hairpin on her head. She was cruel and took it off, but she hid it in her sleeve and didn't throw it out.

The pendant he was wearing was also hidden in his sleeve.

She was reluctant.

These things may not be precious in the eyes of outsiders, but they are not the same to her.

Outside the carriage, several tall and strong men with black scarves covering their faces held long knives and stopped in the middle of the road.

The black headscarves covered half of their faces, and only a pair of eyes were exposed. The eyes were all fierce and fierce, and they were the dresses of the rumored bandits.

But they didn't stop because of Ming Shao's shouting. Instead, they carried long knives and pressed towards the carriage.

Ming Shao panicked and looked back at Jiang Rao with tears in her eyes, "It's useless."

Jiang Rao's heart fell, and her palms were cold.

These people didn't come for money, even if they dressed like bandits, they probably weren't.

They just used the name of bandits to commit murder. She had seen this method when she traveled with her parents. What these people wanted was something else.

She stuck her head out and counted nearly ten people on the opposite side. She was only showing her face. Maybe it was something she couldn't see hiding behind her, and there were only two guards around her. .

The visitors were not kind, and she didn't say a word to the other side, and she didn't even know what they wanted.

If there is a bandit outside, she has a way to deal with it, but she doesn't know who it is or why she is here, she can only panic and rush here, and can't do anything.

Jiang Rao hated the situation in front of her.

"They may have come for me."

In a hurry, dare not speak too slowly.

Her eyes were fixed on the outside, and there was a rustling voice in her ears.

When she turned her head, Ming Shao burst into tears, her body was shaking, she was obviously very scared, she was shaking her hands and unbuttoning her clothes.

"Since it's for the girl, the girl should change clothes with the servant girl and pretend to be a servant girl, so she might be able to escape."

"You have already shown your face just now, as long as they have some brains, they can't hide it!"

Jiang Rao's voice has never been colder than it is today, it sounded like snow on a distant mountain, sober and cold.

She frowned, listening to the voices of the guards and the group of people blocking the road, she pulled Ming Shao's clothes and buttoned her again, and stretched out her fingers to wipe away the tears from Ming Shao's eye sockets, her voice line. Cold and severe, but his movements are very gentle, "Why are you crying?"

"If they want my life and want to humiliate my reputation, you may not be able to escape."

"If you really want to help me, get out of the car at this moment, walk around behind the carriage, don't be seen by anyone, and find a way to escape to find someone to report."

She wiped away the tears in Ming Shao's eyes, her voice slowed down, her cheeks were replaced with soft baby fat, and her face looked innocent and innocent. In a tone of voice, she coaxed the maid who was older than her, "Ming Shao, I'll be fine."

Ming Shao cried and whimpered, holding her breath and not daring to make a sound, and finally curled up and drilled out of the rear window of the carriage.

Jiang Rao watched her go out, but did not breathe a sigh of relief at all.

She untied the purse hanging from her waist, and took all the dagger and the drug in her hands. She didn't dare to breathe, and listened intently to the movement outside.

Jiang Rao's fingers were clenched tightly, but her body was slightly curled into a ball, biting her lower lip, she really had nothing else to do except for the soldiers to block the water and earth.

She really regrets it

She should have pulled Rong Ting to show off in front of everyone.

The husband she rescued by her ability didn't have time to show it off. If her life is gone today and she can't show it again, then she will be at a loss.

Jiang Rao heard that the people outside could not approach the carriage for a long time, so she couldn't help but lift the curtain and glance at it. Seeing a dozen people outside, her eyes lit up, but her doubts were inexplicably born.

Most of the time she went out on weekdays, she only brought two guards with her.

But there were more than two people who stopped the men who were ferocious and wearing black scarves.

A few Tsing Yi people mixed in.

Who are those people?

...

Outside the Golden Palace.

As soon as Rong Ting's figure appeared, the seventeenth prince, who had been waiting for a long time at the bottom, slowly walked up to him.

He did not hide the explicit hatred for Rong Ting in his eyes, clenched his teeth and shouted, "Ninth Brother."

It's just a title, and when he shouted it, word by word, he jumped out, how reluctant, how reluctant.

But seeing that Rong Ting was wearing a dark python patterned official uniform at the moment, standing with his hands behind his back, his expression was dull when he looked at him, and the whole person was very noble in appearance and bearing. The son of such a humble man bows his head?

"How is the father's body?" he asked arrogantly.

Rong Ting looked at him and did not speak.

He was only indifferent for a while, and the seventeenth prince was irritated, he stepped forward and grabbed Rong Ting's collar, his eyes were fierce, "Don't think that now the father sees you and not me, I have no way to know the father's body. What's the situation!"

There was no fluctuation in Rong Ting's eyes. He let the seventeenth prince hold his collar without arguing with him. When the seventeenth prince lifted his foot and kicked him, he finally tightened his hand and tightened the opponent's. The neck slammed the man to the ground.

His expression remained indifferent, his knuckles tightened, and he let go again.

He looked down at the seventeenth prince condescendingly, his narrow eyes half-squinted, "Don't think... I don't know what you're thinking."

Rong Ting let go of his hand and turned to leave.

The seventeenth prince looked at his back, with a look of embarrassment at first, and then the corners of his lips slowly curled up with a sneer.

Although he didn't get his wish and angered Rong Ting, he instead told him to stay in the palace for a while.

Counting the time, the people who arranged to wait for Jiang Rao at the foot of Suming Mountain may have already succeeded.

What did he say...he knew what he was thinking? What does he know? !

He couldn't wait to see how he would look when he couldn't find his wife.

...

Rong Ting walked out only twenty steps, turned the corner, and gradually closed his brows.

He glanced sideways at Huai Qing who was following him, and there was a hint of danger in his voice, "Rong Yuan is so out of control, what do you think he is doing?"

Thinking about the actions of the seventeenth prince just now, Huaiqing shook his head and said, "Now the emperor doesn't want to see the seventeenth prince. Instead, he wants to have a conflict with your highness, just to be angry for a while, which is really reckless."

Rong Ting's face was cold, and he did not agree with Huai Qing's words.

Huai Qing tentatively asked, "Could it be that... His Highness the Seventeenth wants to sue the wicked first, and cry in front of the emperor that it is His Highness that you provoke first?"

Rong Ting fell silent.

This method, only the former queen has not used it.

At that time, he was too young and had no concubine to protect him. He was bullied and could not help but beat others. He was dragged in front of Emperor Zhaowu. 's guilt.

He has more charges, and he is too lazy to care about benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and trust. After all, the guilt is his, it is better to be born a wicked person.

But over time, the situation has changed.

Now that there is no one to protect and no one can argue with one another, it will not be him.

He knows this, Rong Yuan may not know it.

Not right.

He didn't miss the excitement hidden in Rong Yuan's eyes, he thought he was covering it up well, as if he was grabbing his collar angrily to get him to punch him, but his eyes looked at him clearly. Where is it really dizzy?

Even though the seventeenth prince Changjujia and the queen were only under the protection, and his character was a little timid and cowardly, of course, those who underestimate the enemy were defeated. Although Rong Ting was unwilling to look directly at his seventeenth brother, he never looked down upon him. He should be prepared. , never much.

There was an ominous premonition in his heart, and the pace of leaving the palace accelerated a lot. When he went outside the imperial city and saw the dark guards in Tsing Yi waiting under the city gate, he finally knew what had happened.
