No more waiting!
Ming Ruyi and Zhongli Mingye had always been on close terms. If something happened to him, it must be that someone was targeting the Prince Yu's Mansion. Song Jinyu immediately decided to return to the mansion. But...
"Your Highness, the Prince said for you to stay in the villa," Qingfeng said calmly, standing in front of her.
"..."
"The Prince gave you to me, so you must obey!"
Not obeying? Song Jinyu gave a subtle signal, and Micui stepped forward, glaring coldly. "Today, I must leave this villa."
When they all got into the carriage, Qingfeng complained to Micui, "The Prince has other arrangements. Won't this disrupt his plan?"
Shrugging, Micui said, "We simply couldn't stop the Princess."
Song Jinyu's voice came from inside the carriage, "Qingfeng, hurry up!"
Yu Duanya came out of the Xiangguo Temple with the young heir in her arms. The sun had already set. She had come today to light a long - burning lamp for her father, Yu Huairan.
Her father had died of illness last year, but she hadn't been able to return for the funeral. She could only light the long - burning lamp for him after giving birth. After marrying into the royal family, many things had become less easy and free.
Even the matter of lighting a long - burning lamp for her father couldn't be done openly.
However, the carriage suddenly stopped while it was moving. "How dare you! This is the carriage of the Prince Cheng's Mansion!"
Unfortunately, the attackers ignored them and started killing directly. Yu Duanya hugged the child, trembling with fear. The young heir was so scared that he burst into tears.
Until the maids around her were hacked to pieces by the knives, she panicked and ran out of the carriage with the child in her arms.
However, how could a woman fight against the agile black - clothed killers?
She desperately protected the heir, but it was of no use.
A flash of the knife, Yu Duanya thought she was surely going to die. She only felt heartache for the young heir who was only a few months old.
However, suddenly the knife stopped!
She looked back tremblingly and saw that it was a guard who had saved her and her son.
"Thank you, hero, for saving us!"
Song Jinyu ran out of the carriage, "Princess Duanya!"
It was her! Yu Duanya's face was full of grief and she trembled. The child in her arms had cried himself hoarse and was clearly terrified. "Don't be afraid. The attackers have all been killed."
She invited Yu Duanya and her son into the carriage. She carefully checked Yu Duanya and found that apart from being frightened, there were no major injuries.
Yu Duanya looked at her, feeling indescribable emotions. First, Song Jinyu had saved her life, and now she had saved her and her son again.
When she came to her senses, "Jinyu, I..." She didn't know what to say. Song Jinyu comforted her, "We'll enter the city tonight. We'll surely send you home safely no matter what."
Just as this little episode had just passed, Song Jinyu and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief after they managed to enter the capital city by all means.
The city gates were not supposed to be opened at night. But since they were all relatives of the princely mansions, the city - guarding officials were afraid of the serious consequences and let them in.
They sent Yu Duanya back first. By the time Song Jinyu returned to the Prince Yu's Mansion, it was already the third watch of the night.
After Zhongli Mingye got the news, he rushed over immediately. "It's not a big deal. Look how nervous you are!"
"Why didn't you listen to me!" His face was ashen. God knew how worried the mansion was when they got the news!
He had left her in the villa just to prevent Song Jinyu from getting involved in this scheme.
Now Ming Ruyi was locked in the Heavenly Prison, and he still didn't know the purpose of the mastermind behind it. But Song Jinyu had come back on her own initiative. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
Knowing she was in the wrong, Song Jinyu stepped forward and hugged him. "Mingye, I was afraid something would happen to you."
She felt his body go stiff and only then noticed his bandaged arm. She immediately felt heartache. But Zhongli Mingye shook her off. "Don't be angry. I was really worried about you."
She hugged Zhongli Mingye. "I was so restless there. How could I be at ease?" "On the way here, we met Yu Duanya."
"She was being chased and almost lost her life."
Zhongli Mingye hugged her tightly. "I only want you to be well. Nothing else matters!"
"If something happened to you, I'm afraid..." He was afraid that he would want to destroy everything!
"Alright, husband. Let me take a look at your wound."
"It's already okay!" But she didn't listen. She insisted on pulling open his clothes to check. "I'm the one with unparalleled skills in medicine and poison from Tianmen Mountain."
He looked at her with a smile, his heart full. He was determined not to let Song Jinyu get involved. But she was right. Now that they were husband and wife, how could they avoid these things?
Smelling the familiar osmanthus fragrance from her hair, Zhongli Mingye felt extremely at ease.
In the Prince Cheng's Mansion, the lamps burned all night.
Zhongli Shuoyi was extremely angry.
"Investigate! Investigate for me!"
Only the closest maids and guards in the mansion knew about the Princess going to light the long - burning lamp. Now that she had been ambushed on the way, there must be someone who had betrayed him.
Yu Duanya was still in a state of shock, hugging the heir. Zhongli Shuoyi felt extremely heartache. It took a long time for her to calm down. "Your Highness, it was Song Jinyu who saved me and the heir."
"I'll keep it in mind. I'll go to the Prince Yu's Mansion to thank her another day!"
He was serious. If Song Jinyu hadn't arrived in time, what he might have seen now would have been two corpses.
However, now that the royal family had been attacked one after another, I'm afraid there would be another storm of blood and gore in the capital!
The Queen had been attacked, the Prince Yu had been stabbed, and the Princess and the heir of the Prince Cheng's Mansion had been ambushed. None of these three things was a small matter.
As soon as Zhongli Mingye entered the bedroom, he saw Song Jinyu sitting on the bed in her nightgown, in a daze. "You came back so late. Why aren't you going to sleep quickly!"
"I can't sleep!" Song Jinyu's heart was still in a knot. Zhongli Mingye's wound was quite deep.
He gave a soft laugh and sat down. His eyes were full of teasing. "Do you want me to lull you to sleep?"
She ignored him and continued sitting with her legs hugged. Zhongli Mingye pulled Song Jinyu to lie down with him. "Don't worry! When the soldiers come, we'll block them; when the water comes, we'll dam it. Isn't that what you used to say?"
"Mingye, don't you think it's strange? Why did these three things happen at the same time?"
"Who is the one behind all this, trying to harm the royal family?"
It was really strange! How could the dignified Queen be attacked in the palace? And it was Ming Ruyi who did it!
"You just like to worry! Go to sleep. Maybe we'll know everything clearly tomorrow!" After saying that, he closed his eyes and hugged Song Jinyu tightly at the same time, not allowing her to think about these messy things anymore.
Thanks to the desperate rescue efforts of the imperial doctors in the palace, the Queen's life was barely saved, but she remained in a coma. Although the Emperor didn't like her, he would never allow the Queen of the country to die in such an undignified way.
Concubine Xue supported her belly and smiled slightly. She broke off the chrysanthemum in her hand. "Your Highness, it's getting late!"
"You have to take care of the little prince in your belly!"
Suddenly, she sneered, "Prince?"
She didn't care at all! Only avenging her younger sister was the courage that supported Concubine Xue to live on.
