Considering the curfew time in the city and everyone's safety, the banquet came to an end, and the women left one after another after greeting Princess Ling'an.
At this time, the corridor leading from the backyard to the front yard was illuminated by lanterns.
Several women walking together saw Jiang Ran and Song Yao beside them and waved goodbye: "Sister Jiang Ran, Miss Song, let's go first!"
The dimples on Jiang Ran's cheeks were exposed. He put his hands on his waist and saluted the girls in a dignified manner and said goodbye: "Sisters, please go slowly."
"Goodbye." Song Yao didn't have so much etiquette. She raised her hand and waved casually, then turned to look at the long corridor in front and said softly: "Didn't those two people say they were here to pick us up? Why are there no people there? Is it possible?
Maybe you drank too much?"
Jiang Ran said softly: "Maybe wait for us in the front yard."
Song Yao nodded slightly and was about to step forward when she was stopped by a voice from behind.
"Miss Song." Xiaoqin ran over quickly, gasped twice, and said to her: "Miss Song, my princess has something to tell you."
Hearing this, Song Yao looked suspicious, looked at Jiang Ran and murmured: "What could she do to me?"
"Since the princess invites you, Yaoyao, you'd better go there." Jiang Ran took back the arm she held and reminded him in a low voice.
Song Yao nodded slightly and replied: "Then I'll go back as soon as I can. Sister, you go to the front yard first."
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and looked around: "I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, then I'll be back soon." Song Yao responded, then followed Xiaoqin back the same way, heading towards the backyard.
Watching her back go away, Jiang Ran leaned slightly against the pillar on the side so as not to block other paths, and did not forget to return the greeting to the person who greeted him.
Little did she know that in the dark courtyard, two figures hiding behind the treetops were already staring at her.
Li Chonghan rubbed his sleepy eyes, still a little angry, and slapped the servant next to him on the head: "I asked you to wake me up early. Everyone is running away now. If there is no beautiful girl, I will pickle you and send you away."
Go and be a eunuch in the palace."
The servant touched his head, with a look of grievance on his face. He had obviously started calling him "Master" a long time ago, but he slept like a dead pig, and now he placed the blame on himself!
Li Chonghan squinted his eyes and saw Jiang Ran's appearance clearly, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "I have never seen such a beautiful girl before. She is just like a fairy. I just don't know whose family she comes from. Take a look."
In order to help Li Chonghan satisfy his evil desires, the servant had already memorized the appearance of the woman from the official family. After staring at Jiang Ran for a few times, he found that she had an unfamiliar face. After thinking about it, he replied: "Master, this is
It should be a merchant in the city or a woman from a small family who can take action!"
Hearing this, Li Chonghan raised the corner of his mouth, but after observing for a while, he found that Jiang Ran didn't move at all, and asked doubtfully: "Why doesn't she leave?"
"Perhaps he is waiting for someone." The servant guessed.
Li Chonghan frowned slightly. If this little woman walked with others, he might miss. Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked around, and found that there were no other people on both sides of the corridor. He bit his lip and thought for a while, then looked down.
The man said: "Give me the poison!"
The servant's eyes suddenly widened: "Master, are you going to do something here? If Princess Ling'an finds out..."
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Chonghan: "Why is there so much nonsense? Just give it to me!"
Hearing this, the servant could only take out the drugged handkerchief prepared in advance and put it into his hand.
Li Chonghan skillfully held the drugged side in his hand, looked at Jiang Ran again, showed greed, and walked over directly to avoid a long night of dreams: "Little beauty, here I come!"
On the other side, in the courtyard in front, Li Yu glanced at the courtyard behind and said to Tang Ji, "What's going on? There's no one here, why haven't they come out yet?"
Tang Ji also looked in the direction of the backyard. It had been about five minutes since the last woman came out. A trace of worry suddenly arose in his heart. He stopped writing and walked over: "I'll go take a look."
"Hey, I'll go with you." Li Yu quickly caught up.
In the corridor, Jiang Ran spotted a fat man walking from the courtyard, and felt a little confused. The courtyard was dark, what was he doing there? But it didn't have much to do with him, so he walked back and exited the small courtyard.
He stepped forward and looked at the end of the corridor, but still didn't see Song Yao's figure.
Soon, when the obese man approached, Jiang Ran immediately showed a vigilant look. Having lived in a brothel all year round, she could see the greed and thoughts in the man's eyes at a glance. She glanced around and found no one, so she no longer hesitated.
, and ran towards the front with steps.
"Hey, little sister, why are you running!" Li Chonghan shouted softly, but found that the other party had no intention of stopping at all, so he cursed in his heart, waved his hand and shouted: "Chase!"
Jiang Ran ran a certain distance and found that the two people behind him were still chasing after him. He confirmed his inner guess and shouted loudly: "Help!"
Her voice was not very loud, but it was ignored by Li Chonghan. He glanced at the stone arch in front of him. If this little beauty was allowed to run out of the yard, he would not be able to do anything again, but he felt unwilling to do so and shouted
:"hurry up!"
Immediately, Li Chonghan stretched out with all his strength, ignoring the beating fat on his body, and ran forward. When he saw the opponent right in front of him, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
But the next second, the pretty woman ran into the arms of a man in green.
The latter didn't hesitate at all. Seeing Li Chonghan rushing towards him, he grabbed Jiang Ran's slim waist and kicked him up.
"Ah yo~"
The fat on Li Chonghan's body shook violently twice, and then he became unstable and fell to the ground.
Tang Ji ran down when he heard her cry for help. Now he was relieved to see that she was okay, but a cold light burst out in his eyes, and he asked softly: "What happened?"
Jiang Ran clung to his arms, breathing heavily, and explained: "I was just waiting for Yaoyao in the corridor, but he suddenly came over. I was afraid that he would be unruly to me, so I ran away to the front yard, but he
But he chased me."
Hearing this, Tang Ji clenched his hands and turned his attention to Li Chonghan with a snap.
Li Chonghan also saw the person clearly. He didn't expect that this woman was actually related to Tang Ji. He quickly raised his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, Mr. Tang, misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."
"I misunderstood your mother!" Tang Ji roared uncontrollably, then raised his foot and kicked the opponent.
The servant standing by wanted to go up and stop him, but when he saw that Tang Ji's eyes were red, he took a step back in fear, looked down at Li Chonghan, and even applauded Tang Ji in his heart.
Let you always bully me!
If you don't listen to my advice, you have to take action!
Deserve it!
Tang Ji kicked the opponent several times in succession, and his attack became stronger and stronger.
Li Chonghan screamed in pain and shouted: "I, I am the Crown Prince Yin!"
But even if he revealed his identity, it would have no effect at all. Tang Ji even increased his strength.
At this moment, Li Yu also rushed over. Looking at the scene in front of him, he suddenly forgot to breathe. He walked closer and found that the person lying on the ground was Li Chonghan who had greeted him not long ago. Although he hadn't figured it out yet
situation, but it was definitely not possible for Tang Ji to beat Prince Yin like this. He looked around and found that the guards from the Princess's Mansion had not come yet. He had an idea and walked straight to Li Chonghan and took out a dagger from his sleeve.
He hesitated and cut the back of his hand, then collapsed on the ground and shouted: "Help, Prince Yin wants to assassinate me!"
