"You should get up first!" Princess Anhe said. She had actually wanted to tell Yu Yuxi some important words for a long time, but every time she saw Yu Yuxi, she could always hear some ulterior motives in her words, which made people laugh.
I didn't like it very much, so An and the eldest princess simply gave up their thoughts. But now this attitude is just right.
Aunt Qin came over and helped Yu Yuxi up.
"When you enter Prince Duan's Mansion from now on, you should put your own safety first, and try not to interfere with other things. You are just a woman in the backyard, and you are only a concubine. If anything happens, it's not your fault.
If you can do it, remember that as long as you don't get involved, the Xuanping Hou Mansion will always keep you safe."
Princess An and the eldest princess spoke with sincerity and sincerity.
This is all the protection and confidence she gives to her granddaughter.
Don't get involved in the fight for the right to inherit the line. Even if King Duan fails in the future, she can still survive...
The wind blew outside the window, and light raindrops fell down. Yu Xijiao put down her chopsticks before eating her dinner. She looked at the dark sky outside the window and said to herself: "Why doesn't this rain stop?
.”
It started to rain before dinner. Although it wasn't heavy, it was still raining sporadicly. This time it seemed to be heavier.
"Girl, the road is wet. It's not easy for the eldest princess to leave the road at this time."
"Grandma just left?" Yu Xijiao was stunned. She thought An and the eldest princess had gone back early.
It has been raining since she left.
"My servant doesn't know. The second girl asked to see the eldest princess. When I went to the kitchen to get dinner, the kitchen said that there was no need to prepare the eldest princess's dinner. He said that the eldest princess would be leaving soon, and he said this
We've been talking for a while, but I don't know if the eldest princess has left or not." Qingyue said.
The ladies in the kitchen were all talking about how surprising it was that the eldest princess could stay until now. The most surprising thing was that she actually talked to the second girl for so long.
"Is grandma leaving at this time?" Yu Xi stood up abruptly. According to Qingyue, she may not leave at this time. Why isn't the kitchen ready?
"I don't know, girl, I'm going to go out and ask around." Qingyue said hurriedly when she saw her expression was not good.
Yu Xijiao shook her hand: "No need, I'll go take a look now."
Seeing that she looked uneasy, Qingyue didn't dare to stop her and put a cloak around her. The master and the servant held umbrellas and went out. The rain was still falling and the road was already soaked. The rain was not heavy but it didn't stop.
When the master and servant arrived at Princess An and the eldest princess's yard, they left after being notified.
"Where is the second girl?" Yu Xijiao asked the housekeeper who was waiting in the yard with a stern face.
"I just left. The second girl and the eldest princess talked a lot today, and the eldest princess asked everyone else to leave." The housekeeper said respectfully.
This has never happened before. The eldest princess has never been able to say a few words to the second girl.
In fact, it's not the second girl's fault. Every one of the masters in this mansion has failed to talk to the eldest princess. The third girl now seems to be better than the other masters.
"What did you say?" Yu Xijiao asked.
"I don't know, slaves, slaves are guarding the corridor." The mother-in-law lowered her head.
Yu Xijiao felt uneasy and looked up in the direction of Yu Yuxi: "When did the second lady come back today?"
The mother-in-law replied that it was still early when Yu Yuxi came back an hour ago.
Yu Yuxi and her grandmother have been talking here for such a long time, and it is unreasonable to wait until it is so dark before going back.
With this thought in mind, he turned around and rushed to the parking lot. When he arrived at the parking lot, An and the eldest princess's carriage had already left.
Yu Xijiao stood on the porch of the parking lot, stretched out her hand and pressed her chest, her heart was beating suddenly, she was very uneasy, always feeling that something dangerous was going to happen.
"Girl, girl." Mingyue chased her out, holding a lantern in her hand.
"Let's go." Yu Xijiao looked at the dark sky and strode towards the rain curtain.
"Girl!" Qingyue was startled and hurriedly chased after her with an umbrella.
After getting into the usual carriage, Mingyue sent someone to find the carriage driver.
The carriage driver came quite quickly. Hearing that Yu Xijiao was going to Princess An and the eldest princess's residence, the carriage driver turned the horse's head and drove out of the residence.
The rain was falling in wisps, and where there was light there were many threads that looked like slipping silk threads. Yu Xijiao frowned and sat in the carriage. The heavy curtains were raised high, leaving only the gauze curtains down.
"Girl, should we take the street or the shortcut?" the coachman asked after stopping in front of the house.
If you want to take the main street from the Xuanping Marquis's residence to the Anhe Grand Princess's residence, you have to take a detour half the way. It's also night at this time, and my grandmother hasn't had her dinner yet.
It was clear that grandma had stayed so late, but the kitchen had not been prepared for grandma. Was it Mrs. Zhou's dereliction of duty, or was it due to other reasons?
This was not the time to pursue this matter. Grandma was late, it was raining outside, and Grandma had not had dinner yet. Grandma's temperament would inevitably take a shortcut.
"Take a shortcut." Yu Xijiao ordered, stamping her feet vigorously, "Quick!"
In response, the coachman turned onto a small road, passed by the small road, and went straight to the mansion of Princess Anhe. This was not a main street, but also a relatively remote section of road.
Yu Xijiao has walked along the small road several times. There is a section of the road close to the main river. It is now the flood season and the main river is full of water. The rain is not heavy but dense. It has been raining for so long. The closest place to the main river is
When they turned the corner, thinking that the road around the turn was not far from the main river, Yu Xijiao broke into a cold sweat on her vest and did not dare to think any further.
He clenched his cuffs hard and exhaled a heavy breath slowly. He must have scared himself, it should be...impossible! Even if Yu Yuxi was crazy, she wouldn't do this to her grandmother, right?
No, probably not...
She thought so in her heart, but her body couldn't help but tremble. She had been reborn and planned every step of the way. She had almost never been so out of control, but she was not sure now. She only hated herself for not paying more attention to her grandmother's affairs at that time, thinking that her grandmother would have
He has already left.
She knew that Yu Yuxi was back and that Yu Yuxi had gone to see her grandmother, but she didn't expect that her grandmother would talk to Yu Yuxi for so long. Moreover, the house had not prepared dinner for her grandmother. It was so late and it was raining. Shouldn't she leave her behind?
Next, what is father doing?
Hurry up, hurry up!
She pulled open the gauze curtain and let the wind and rain outside the car window fall on her face, which also allowed her to see the road in the wind and rain more directly.
"Mingyue, are you following?"
"Don't worry, girl, I have informed you before I go out." Mingyue knew that Yu Xijiao was asking about her secret manpower, so she nodded.
Sensing this tense atmosphere, Qingyue did not dare to say anything more, and only pursed her lips tightly.
"Girl, what's going on ahead?" Mingyue said suddenly.
Yu Xijiao turned her ear to the window and listened. There was no sound, and she couldn't hear anything.
"Hurry, hurry up." Yu Xijiao knocked on the car wall.
Mingyue simply got out of the carriage, went to the shaft to listen carefully, and stretched out her hand to point the direction to the carriage driver.
Finally, Yu Xijiao also heard the noise, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat. Grandma didn't know if something was going on? She would be fine, absolutely fine, so she left for a while.
An and the eldest princess were already some distance away from the carriage. She was old and suffered from old injuries, so she couldn't run far at all. After being pulled by Aunt Qin for a few steps, she could only hide under a small tree nearby.
Behind the trees, the man in black was already chasing after him, and he heard footsteps approaching from tree to tree in the distance.
It was getting late and raining, so An and the eldest princess took a shortcut.
Go to the small road from Xuanpinghou Mansion, pass through several alleys, then walk along the river for a while, then turn to the nearest street intersection in front of the Dachang Princess Mansion, and you will be there.
There is a turning place by the river. After passing this place, you can slowly leave the river.
But at this point, the wheels slipped and the carriage almost tipped over into the river. Fortunately, the coachman reacted quickly and jumped off the carriage and pulled the shaft, which prevented the carriage from overturning.
But even so, the wheels of the carriage had sunk in, making it unsustainable for a while.
Princess An and the eldest daughter got out of the carriage with Aunt Qin. Under the protection of two guards, they thought of taking shelter from the rain in an alley a few hundred meters ahead. There were only a few scattered trees here, which could not shelter from the rain.
After taking only two steps, An and the eldest princess suddenly stopped and said sternly: "There are people, prepare for war!"
The two guards reacted quickly and stepped forward, drew their swords, and stopped in front of the eldest princess.
But at this moment, a sword stabbed from behind a tree, hitting a guard in the belly. The guard was stabbed and took two steps back. He bent over while holding his stomach, and then fell heavily to the ground, with blood staining the muddy ground.
ground.
"There is an assassin." Aunt Qin threw the lantern in her hand on the ground and said loudly, while pulling An and the eldest princess to run forward.
Another guard turned back behind them and got into a fight with a man in black who rushed up. Another man in black ran past him and chased An and the eldest princess, but he was unable to do anything.
The coachman ignored the carriage at this time and passed by him to chase the man in black who ran past.
The night was dark, the rain was falling, and the area was remote, so even if I shouted, no one might hear me.
Fortunately, there were still trees. Aunt Qin looked around and found a tree nearby. She pulled An and the eldest princess to squat down, and lowered her voice and said: "Princess eldest, please go and lead people away. You are here, carriage."
My husband should be here soon."
There were two assassins, one was fighting with the guards, and the other was chasing after her. Aunt Qin could see clearly that as long as she lured the assassins away, the eldest princess would be safe.
"No need." Princess An and the eldest daughter took Aunt Qin's hand and whispered, "Wait a minute."
"Princess, we can't wait any longer. This assassin knows we can't run away, so he's looking for us now." Aunt Qin said desperately. It was actually easy to find just a few scattered trees. Seeing this man in black, he was about to
Come here, why would Aunt Qin let the eldest princess take this risk?
