Chapter 759: A Humble Gentleman
When Lin Wan heard this, she hurriedly shook her head and corrected: "Aunt Yu, you are still so young, people who don't know, when you see the two of us together, you will definitely think that you are my sister, and in another ten or twenty years, maybe people will still think I am your sister!"
Concubine Yu covered her lips and smiled, nodded Lin Wan's forehead, and said angrily: "Look at you, you know that you are talking nonsense, and you are not afraid of the jokes of His Royal Highness Prince Ximen." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Ximen Yuqing nodded solemnly and said, "What Wan'er said is the truth, how can anyone laugh at it? Aunt Yu, you will only become more and more menstruating, more and more beautiful, and surpass the little girl." β
Concubine Yu shook her head with a chuckle, and said helplessly: "This palace can't say that you two juniors can't argue with you." The hour is not early, so go out of the palace as soon as possible. Slow down on the road, don't worry, you'll be able to get back to dinner in time. β
Lin Wan nodded obediently, and walked out of the flower hall hand in hand with Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu personally sent Lin Wan out of Yulin Palace, and the two reluctantly said goodbye.
Gonggong Li led the way in front, Qingtong and Luliu followed Lin Wan's side left and right, and Ximen Yuqing walked to their side, keeping a distance of three steps. Gently shaking the folding fan, with a faint smile on his face, like a humble gentleman, warm as jade.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when they got out of the harem, Lin Wan and Ximen Yuqing got into a sedan chair respectively and went to the palace.
At this hour, the palace is very quiet. In the huge palace, you can only see groups of Yulin troops wearing armor and holding spears patrolling back and forth. Occasionally, a few eunuchs and palace maids hurried by, bowing their heads and lowering their eyes.
Outside the palace, there was a carriage in the palace prepared by Gonggong Li, and the carriage of Lin Xiangfu that Ximen Yuqing took when he came.
There was a young coachman sitting in the front seat of the carriage in Lin Xiangfu, and Lin Wan also knew that it was Qin Feng, who had not been seen for a long time.
Ximen Yuqing looked at the two carriages, couldn't help frowning secretly, and turned his head to look at Lin Wan. I wanted to say something, but I never spoke.
Lin Wan said goodbye to Gonggong Li, then walked to the carriage, hesitated slightly, and got into the carriage of Lin Xiangfu. Green Willow and Qingtong followed closely behind her, and also got into the same carriage.
Ximen Yuqing walked to another carriage and whispered a few words to his little servant Xinhe and his personal guard Jiang Hai.
Xinhe nodded, got into the carriage of the palace, and sat in the carriage, while Jiang Hai sat next to the coachman.
But Ximen Yuqing didn't get into the carriage, but returned to Lin Wan's carriage, lifted the curtain, stared at Lin Wan, and asked seriously, "Wan'er, can I come up?"
Lin Wan frowned slightly, but did not hesitate, nodded, and said, "Yes." β
Ximen Yuqing smiled slightly, his eyes were full of joy, he raised his legs and got into the carriage, lowered the curtain, and commanded in a low voice: "Let's go, follow the carriage in front." β
Qin Feng replied respectfully: "Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Ximen." β
The carriage moved slowly. Lin Wan got up early this morning, and he didn't take a nap, and with the bump of the carriage, he soon fell asleep in the arms of Lu Liu.
Ximen Yu looked at Lin Wan's sleeping face lightly, and a gentle smile pulled up at the corner of his mouth.
The north-south avenue leading to the palace was empty, and the carriage moved steadily and quickly. After a while, I have come to the bustling and lively Xiangfu Street, where the vendors at the west end of Xiangfu Street are shouting loudly, and pedestrians stop to chat with the hawkers and bargain casually.
The carriage in front had stopped, and it was blocked outside Xiangfu Street, unable to enter or retreat. Qin Feng slowly stopped the carriage, and a noisy and chaotic sound suddenly came from his ears.
Lin Wan frowned slightly, slowly opened her eyes, looked at the familiar scene outside the window, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
Qin Feng's voice came from outside: "Miss, the hawkers have come out at this hour, and they have blocked this section of Xiangfu West Street. Shall we go from South Street Alley? β
Lin Wan remembered that the alleys of Nanjie were dark and narrow, sparsely populated, and very deserted, but not too long. South Street Lane is indeed a shortcut, but it is also the place with the greatest potential for ambush. Lin Wan couldn't help but hesitate, and turned his head to look at Ximen Yuqing, wanting to ask for his opinion.
Ximen Yuqing looked at Lin Wan's inquiring gaze and immediately understood what she meant. With a faint smile, he said, "When I went to the palace in the morning, I walked from Nanjie Alley, and that road is indeed a good place for ambushes and assassinations." However, if someone really wants our lives, we will always hide like this, and it is not a solution. It's better for us to let them come and go. Let them know what will happen to us?"
Lin Wan twisted his eyebrows and said: "As the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky, why is Prince Ximen so sure?
Ximen Yuqing stared into Lin Wan's eyes, smiled seductively, and said softly: "Of course, I can use my life as a guarantee, and I will definitely not let you be hurt in any way." β
Lin Wan was skeptical, but finally nodded and commanded in a low voice: "Qin Feng, let's go south streets and alleys, be careful." β
Qin Feng immediately received the order and said, "Yes, Miss, my subordinates obey the order!"
Ximen Yuqing raised his voice to the guards in the carriage in front of him and ordered: "Jiang Hai, follow behind our carriage, follow closely." β
"Yes, Your Highness the Prince. Jiang Hai answered, and immediately got out of the car, tugged on the reins and wheels, and forcibly reversed the carriage.
Qin Feng drove the carriage and walked slowly towards the south streets and alleys, Jiang Hai's carriage followed closely behind.
In the quiet South Street and alley, only the "click" of horses' hooves and the "squeak" of wheels pressing against the ground can be heard, as if pressing on people's nervous hearts.
As soon as he entered the South Street Alley, Lin Wan's ears were already filled with the sound of a strong wind: "Miss, there is an ambush ahead." β
When Lin Wan heard this, although she had been prepared in her heart, she couldn't help frowning, and she was secretly scared in her heart.
Gale continued: "However, Miss doesn't have to worry too much, His Royal Highness Prince Ximen has a lot of secret guards around him, and his martial arts are still very high, so it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the ambush soldiers in front." β
Lin Wan breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the curtain of the car window, looked out the window, and suddenly felt a gust of yin wind, and there was a kind of murderous aura.
Hurriedly put down the car curtains, Lin Wan couldn't help but shrink back, and the green willow hugged Lin Wan tightly into his arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't be afraid, Miss, I will hold you and protect you." β
Lin Wan also hugged the green willow tightly and said, "I'm not afraid, with His Royal Highness Prince Ximen here, we will be fine, don't be afraid, we are together." β
Qingtong guarded Lin Wan and Lu Liu's side, staring at the slightly fluttering curtain with all his attention, and quietly pulled out the short knife on his waist in his hand.
"What kind of person? What kind of person is so bold that he dares to stop even the carriage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? I see that you are impatient!" Jiang Hai's voice came from outside.
