Ming Lanruo frowned and looked at the prince: "You don't believe me, do you think I'm harboring an assassin?"
"Of course not, I'm just worried about your safety." After saying that, the prince smiled and waved his hand.
The captain of the guard immediately had a cold face and waved people to surround the new vehicle. He stepped over and raised the curtain of the vehicle with a "swish" of his long sword.
The middle-aged man inside seemed frightened and couldn't help but panic: "What are you doing?"
"Who is this?" The prince narrowed his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man.
"I told you, that's the master I invited from the garden party this time. I plan to ask him to build a garden specifically for growing seedlings and herbs for me." Ming Lanruo said calmly and authentically.
The head guard of the East Palace looked carefully up and down the car and found nothing unusual, and nodded slightly towards the prince.
Shangguan Zhou just smiled: "Okay, Lan Ruo, you go up to the palace first and say hello to the imperial grandmother for me. Later, I will go up to the palace to say hello."
Ming Lanruo leaned slightly towards him and saluted: "Yes."
The two carriages, accompanied by the guards from the Hot Spring Palace, drove all the way to Tangquan Mountain.
Watching the carriage go away, the captain of the guard looked at the prince: "Your Highness, just let Princess Mou go. We received a tip from someone in the Jinyi Guard that King Qin is hiding next to Princess Mou!"
"Why, can you still forcefully stop the car sent by the imperial grandmother?" Shangguan Zhou asked coldly.
The captain of the guard clenched the sword in his hand with some annoyance.
They got the news this time that the King of Qin had personally brought people to Tangquan Town secretly, so they set up a trap to surround and kill the King of Qin in the name of "assassin".
In order not to alarm the Queen Mother, they even specially set up checkpoints on the way to Tangquan Palace to intercept people who were inspecting the comings and goings, but they didn't want the news to leak out.
But now the Queen Mother has been alarmed, and the matter has become serious. If Ming Lanruo is stopped by force, it will be difficult to end it.
The captain of the guard couldn't help but ask again: "If King Qin escapes and he reports to His Majesty that he is the one we are encircling and suppressing, not the assassin, wouldn't it be..."
"He will not complain. The people he came to Tangquan Town to find this time are the remnants of the rebellion against Prince Jing. My father is the most suspicious and sensitive. As long as he does not want to be completely suspected and abandoned by his father, he will not do stupid things." The prince.
Very calm.
"But... we are also using the remnants of Prince Jing to set up a trap. Your Majesty will also become suspicious of you if he finds out." The head guard frowned.
The prince narrowed his eyes and sneered: "How could your father know? King Qin is about to die, so naturally he will not leak the news."
The captain of the guard was stunned: "Your Highness..."
The prince said lightly: "No one in Princess Mourning's carriage can return to the hot spring palace, because the assassin who assassinated Gu was lurking in the carriage and killed everyone, including Princess Mourning."
The prince paused and then added: "Of course, in the end, the assassin was also killed by Gu's people, and we 'avenged' Princess Mourning."
When the captain of the guard heard this, a murderous cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he immediately said: "Yes, my subordinates will immediately send a message to the people at the entrance of the palace. At the same time, they will lead people to cut the path to set up an ambush to surround and kill the 'assassin'!"
Seeing the captain of the guard leading a large group of men and horses running murderously towards the distance, Shangguan Zhou raised his red phoenix eyes and looked at the rainy sky, sighing lightly——
"Lan Ruo, Gu didn't want this to happen. Why do you always have to let me down? I can only send you on your way in advance."
on carriage
Ming Lanruo looked at the silent scholar Yin who was sitting in the carriage with a bad expression. She coughed lightly and said, "Um, where is His Highness King Qin?"
The hidden scholar patted the carriage seat without any expression: "Here."
Ming Lanruo was stunned for a moment, and quickly opened the seat first, and sure enough she saw the unconscious man lying underneath.
It's strange, how did he stuff Shangguan Hongye into this carriage under the prince's nose?
and......
She looked at the pale and unconscious Shangguan Hongye with some confusion: "What's wrong with him? He wasn't so lively just now?"
She gave Shangguan Hongye medicine. He was obviously much better today, why did he faint all of a sudden?
Could it be...
She suddenly looked at the hidden scholar with a strange expression: "You..."
"I don't have the king, concubine, don't want to say nonsense!" The hidden scholar raised his eyes and said every word in a gloomy tone.
Ming Lanruo looked at his gloomy look and called her princess directly. She coughed lightly: "Okay, whatever you say is what it is."
The hidden scholar looked at her perfunctory look, with veins showing on her thin white forehead, and gritted his teeth: "I'm really not Mr. Rabbit! It was just a misunderstanding!!!"
Ming Lanruo looked at the frail scholar and looked like if she didn't believe it, he would die in front of her, or he would go on a rampage and commit murder.
She suppressed her laughter and cleared her throat: "Okay, okay, I believe it, but now is not the time to talk about this, we still have to get out of the car quickly!"
The hidden scholar was stunned: "Get off the car?"
Ming Lanruo sighed: "Yes, if we don't want to die, we have to get off the bus quickly.
Scholar Yin thought thoughtfully: "Why, are you worried that His Highness the Crown Prince will kill someone and silence him?"
Ming Lanruo signaled the driver to stop, and they both got out of the car.
Ming Lanruo turned around and said calmly: "It's not that I'm worried, but according to His Royal Highness's temperament and scheming, he would rather kill by mistake than let go. What's more, he is sure that King Qin is here with me."
Based on her understanding of the prince, since that man could ask her if the King of Qin was with her, he probably spoke like this because he had obtained information.
but......
She looked at the scholar in front of her with a half-smile: "Scholar Yin, you are smarter than I thought. You can see through His Highness the Crown Prince's plans at a glance. You are not an ordinary person."
I made my judgment based on my understanding of the prince in my past life. How could Scholar Yin guess the prince's plan?
The hidden scholar froze and his face turned cold.
Because Jing He was already standing behind him, and the short knife in his hand was quietly pressed against his waist.
"Who are you?" Ming Lanruo looked at him calmly, her eyes turning extremely cold.
