Mama Gui couldn't understand the meaning of the Queen Mother's words.

Isn't the next emperor of Northern Chu the third prince?

"I'm tired of mourning and want to sleep, so you can step down."

Mama Gui answered.

After learning that the emperor had died, everyone went to the palace.

As soon as the princes returned to the prince's mansion, the news of the emperor's death came, and they rushed back to the palace one after another.

All affairs are entrusted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The emperor died, and the entire capital was suddenly covered with a layer of paleness.

After Li Guifei learned of all this, she led everyone to the capital.

Inside the carriage, Apricot wondered; "The emperor died, this is too sudden."

Su Wan's expression was a little solemn; "Master told me a few days ago about the emperor's physical condition."

However, looking at Concubine Li's reaction after learning that the emperor had died, she did not show sadness.

"Caidie, Yesheng, you two pay attention to the situation around you."

"Princess, do you really believe what Miss Li said?"

"The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, I call it being prepared, if it is really the same as what Li Ruoxi said, Li Guifei wants to attack the princes and concubines, and the most suitable place is the front."

Apricot lifted the curtain and looked outside the carriage.

Further on, the road becomes a little narrower, just enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass by, on both sides of the road, on one side of the mountain and on the other side is a cliff more than ten meters high, and below the cliff is a rushing river.

The carriage came to an abrupt stop.

Apricot lowers the curtain; "What's the matter, why did the carriage stop all of a sudden?"

The corners of Su Wan's mouth hooked; "It seems that Concubine Li's plan has already begun to be implemented."

"Yesheng, is the team behind us no longer following us?"

"Yes, the slave doesn't feel that much breath anymore."

"If I guessed correctly, the carriages of the ladies and young ladies who followed behind took another road, I asked the little monk in the temple before, is there only one way down the mountain, in addition to the big road we are taking now, there is another road, this other road, it is easier to walk than this road, but because it is too detoured, you can go down the mountain in one hour, and it takes two hours to take that road, so almost no one takes that road."

Apricot Road; "Princess, what do you mean is that those ladies and young ladies are taking the farther road, and what about Concubine Li and the concubines who are walking in front."

Su Wan smiled faintly; "You'll find out in a moment."

As soon as Su Wan's words fell, a man's voice came from outside the carriage; "Nine Emperor Princesses, there is no way to move forward due to the big stones blocking the road in front, and someone has been sent to move the stones away, Nine Emperor Princesses, please wait here for a while."

Xing'er lifted the curtain, and a guard outside the carriage hugged her fist.

Su Wan asked; "How can there be stones rolling down the road? How long does it take to move the stones out of the way? ”

The guard; "It rained heavily for several days a few days ago, and the stones on the mountain were a little loose, but fortunately, after the carriage of the concubine and the concubines passed, the boulders fell."

Hearing this, Su Wan pretended to be shocked; "You said the boulder fell suddenly, but someone was injured?"

"There were no injuries."

Su Wan patted her chest; "Concubine Ben knows."

Apricot lowered the curtain.

"Yesheng, did you hear any movement?"

Yesheng shook his head; "There seem to be people on the mountain, but I'm not sure how many there are."

Su Wan let out an "um".

"Wait."

Su Wan felt that there was a lot of silence around the carriage, and the sound of birds flying over the branches could be heard.

Huang Yiyi was not with those ladies and young ladies, but sat in Fang Chuqing's carriage.

Huang Yiyi lifted the curtain; "Why are the guards gone?"

Fang Chuqing, who was sitting in the carriage, hooked the corners of his mouth; "To deal with a few women, Concubine Li Guifei really took a hard time."

Huang Yiyi was a little panicked in her heart; "What are we going to do next?"

Fang Chuqing saw the fear in Huang Yiyi's heart; "Just hide behind me for a while, and I'm sure someone will come to our rescue."

Huang Yiyidao; "Who's going to save us? Now everyone is busy with the emperor's death, where can anyone take care of us. ”

Fang Chuqing didn't speak.

…… ……

"The princess is here." Yesheng reminded.

Xing'er was about to open the curtain of the carriage and take a look at the situation outside, but was stopped by Su Wan.

"Don't look."

Apricot retracted her hand.

"Remember, it's not a last resort, don't make a move."

Yesheng and Caidie responded.

Su Wan closed her eyes, her martial arts skills were not as high as Yesheng and Caidie, and she couldn't feel the people on the mountain, but Su Wan could feel someone slowly approaching the carriage.

The sound of fighting sounded outside the carriage, and Xing'er trembled in fear.

Xiaobai in Su Wan's arms poked out his little head; "Meow Meow Meow ......"

Su Wan was stunned for a moment, Xiaobai actually told her that there were thirty-two people outside, and there were only fifteen or sixteen guards.

Su Wan looked down at Xiaobai, and the two made eye contact.

How do you know so clearly.

I am a divine beast, and my five senses are many times higher than that of you human Lin Min.

I didn't expect that there would be so few guards left for them, just fifteen people against thirty-two, it's basically hitting a stone with an egg,

Xing'er didn't dare to lift the carriage curtain to look out.

Yesheng was a little impatient; "Princess, let the slaves go out and deal with those people."

"It's not time yet."

Su Wan said calmly.

Yesheng was a little anxious; "The guards are going to be wiped out."

Su Wan said unhurriedly; "I'm waiting for the guards to be wiped out."

Butterfly Road; "Princess, are you worried about something?"

"I'm afraid that some of those guards will stay and watch us."

The princesses in the other carriages heard the shouts outside, and they trembled with fear, and none of them dared to lift the curtain to see the situation outside.

"Princess, what should we do?" Apricot asked.

Su Wan frowned, with her and Ye Sheng and Cai Die's martial arts, it was impossible to deal with more than thirty people, and it was not clear what the martial arts of that group of people were.

The target of these people is the princesses, and if the other carriages can escape from here, there may be hope.

Su Wan looked at Xing'er and asked; "Apricot, will you set up a carriage?"

Apricot nodded; "The slave learned it before."

"Okay, I'll deal with Yesheng and Caidie in a while, you take a look at the carriage of the princess, the coachman is dead, you can drive the carriage back the same way and go to Xiangguo Temple."

It is the closest to Sangokuji Temple, so it is impossible to go to the bottom of the mountain for help.

Apricot worried; "What about you, princess?"

"You don't have to worry about us."

Apricot is a serious way; "If you want to die, I will die with you with the princess."

Su Wan touched Xing'er's cheek, Xing'er was a loyal pouncer.

"You set up a carriage and go to Xiangguo Temple to ask for help, and Caidie Yesheng and I will hold on until you come back."

Apricot eyes turned red, and tears slipped down her eyes.
