I don't know how to deal with the rest of the matter, no one told me, and no one dared to discuss it in private. It's just that after knowing that after we returned to the palace on the mountain, Changyun began to pack up his things, saying that we were going back to the palace in advance.

After all, it's just a summer retreat in the mountains, and the guards can't compare with the palace at all, and I don't know who the other party is, how many people there are, and what forces are involved behind it, for the sake of safety, of course, the sooner you return to the palace, the better.

In order to better protect the safety of the concubines, everyone did not walk together, but left one by one, after all, the road in the mountain is narrow and inconvenient to move, and it is difficult to control in case of an ambush.

I was the last to leave, not that Jiang Yao deliberately put small shoes on me, but that I was the first to risk my life as a queen, not to mention that although the other concubines also appeared at that time, they were not targeted like me, so after thinking about it, they still put me last.

When I left, it was already afternoon, I didn't have much appetite, and after eating two bites of porridge, I looked at the sky and waited for Changyun to call me out.

Although it is still a long time before it gets dark, at our current speed, it is already smooth to be able to return to the palace before dark. After all, this palace is still a long way from the imperial city.

The people in front of them were all going well, and the group of assassins who ambushed them in the hunting ground didn't seem to have gotten any advantage last time, so they didn't dare to do it at will, which made the people behind feel a little relieved.

I was the last to leave the palace, and everyone naturally felt that there should be no accidents, because it was getting late, and the sight in the mountain was not very good, even if they wanted to ambush, they shouldn't pick this time.

But it is often the most relaxed time when the most unexpected things happen, and when the group of people suddenly appears, everyone is not able to take precautions.

There was a lot of chaos, I didn't dare to open the curtain to see what was going on outside, so I shrank in a corner and tried to avoid the range where others could hurt me.

I could clearly hear the sound of swords facing each other outside, and I could hear the wails and cries of pain, and the body of the carriage shook for a moment, and a pair of adult men's feet appeared faintly in the slightly lifted curtain, standing with their backs to me.

The voice of the person who came was very familiar, and he stood on the carriage without panic at all: "Who is so bold and reckless, dare to startle the queen's mother!" ”

It's Zhao Yi!

Hearing Zhao Yi's voice, my originally panicked heart suddenly settled, so that at that time, I didn't have the slightest doubt at all, and completely put my safety in Zhao Yi's hands, and I trusted him 100%.

Zhao Yi stretched out his hand to me and said that it was no longer safe inside, and he wanted to take me to a safe place.

I didn't hesitate, on the contrary, I grabbed his hand with great gratitude.

When I got out of the carriage, the eyes of the masked men in black instantly shifted to me, and I unconsciously shuddered all over my body, and my intuition told me very conclusively: The other party's target is completely aimed at me this time.

I rushed out of the encirclement under the leadership of Zhao Yi, and those people didn't mean to hurt me, so that Zhao Yi could take me without falling behind among so many people.

But Zhao Yi still underestimated the number of the other party, thinking that he would be a little relieved if he broke out of the encirclement, but out of nowhere, a group of masked people ran out, with a sharp posture, and Yin Xian was much more well-trained than the group of people who rushed up rashly.

Zhao Yi was not flustered, looking at his expression, the appearance of these people seemed to be completely expected by him. Zhao Yi grabbed my wrist, his eyes flickered, and he said vaguely in a low voice: "I'm sorry ......"

I've heard a lot of people say sorry to me, and after someone else says that, there will always be a lot of things that make me sad, but I've always been an afterthought, always hesitating and confused.

So when this incident happened, I reacted almost instantly, looking at the group of masked people who were gradually approaching us, my heart was suddenly tugged, and I unconsciously looked for that familiar figure inside, anxious and flustered.

How I wish he wasn't there, and at the same time, how much I wish he would show up. But when I thought about the aftermath, I began to resent my selfishness and resentment of my incompetence.

If Yu Jing really did such a rebellious thing, even if he had the Yu clan as a backer, he would not be able to escape Jiang Yao's sanctions. The collapse of the emperor will not allow others to sleep peacefully, let alone such a large-scale assassination operation.

I quickly turned my head at what happened yesterday, why did some archers point their blades at me when everyone else was besieging Jiang Yao?

I thought of what the fifth sister said to me when she entered the palace, I didn't speculate too much about what she said at the time, and now I think about it, it turned out to be every word, she had already hinted at me very implicitly, but I only cared about myself at that time, and didn't think about anything else.

At that time, the words were like an initiation, the causes and consequences were entwined together, and it was a heavy blow to me that showed that there were contradictions within the Yu clan, and it was likely that he was the only one standing by Yu Jing's side.

From this, I made a bold conjecture that this assassination was not planned by the Yu clan, because Jiang Yao has begun to expand his power in recent years, and the border tribes have not been left alone for the time being, at least the forces in the capital have gradually been under his control.

However, there are not only royal nobles in the capital, but also people who are no longer in the government, although these people carry the stars and the moon on their shoulders, but their hands are involved in secular things, and under the power of enough power, they can even deter the court outside the rivers and lakes.

If Jiang Yao wants to fully display his talents, he has to put all the power in his own hands, and the desire for power has never been a frontier, not to mention that Jiang Yao is still an emperor, he has a thousand or ten thousand reasons to conquer those opposing parties and eradicate dissidents. If you want to reach the pinnacle of power, you naturally have a grudge against the Yu clan in the capital.

Over the years, Jiang Yao has made a lot of beatings to the Yu family, although it seems insignificant on the surface, the two families still exchange courtesies and live in harmony.

In fact, once interests are involved, where are these superficial harmony, and the dark tide is turbulent inside, I don't know how many times you have tested each other back and forth.

Although the Yu clan is the dominant among many clans, it does not mean that they can treat the court as nothing, no matter how powerful the clan is, it is only a clan after all, and Jiang Yao has the entire country.

Jiang Yao doesn't need to make a big deal against the Yu clan, he only needs to boil the frog in warm water, even if the Yu clan is so powerful, it can't withstand the consumption of the world for a long time, and the majesty and sharpness of a clan are exhausted, and there is no uncomfortable arrogance, and it is not threatening.

So when I didn't find Yujing, the stone that suddenly hung in my heart suddenly went down again, and Yujing didn't do anything stupid because of me, which is really good.

At the beginning, the people who came to hijack the carriage were not hostile to me, nine times out of ten it was the people from Yujing's side, and the people of the Yu clan wanted to make a move against Jiang Yao, they were determined to break the net, if Jiang Yao really had an accident, I was afraid that the forces opposing Jiang Yao would pounce on me like a hungry tiger and tear me to pieces.

But Yu Jing will be worried, it is not difficult to imagine that when he knows that the people in the family are preparing to assassinate Jiang Yao, he will raise the voice of wanting to protect me, although the people of the Yu clan will be obedient to Yu Jing's will on the surface, it is inevitable that they will not feel that I am a burden in their hearts.

Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have not been informal, and the more they are obsessed with the love of their children, the more they are imprisoned and unable to be used, so that they have fallen again and again until they are annihilated. The people of the Yu clan will think that it will be a scourge to keep me sooner or later, it is better to take advantage of the chaos to solve me together, and even if they are prepared for the worst, even if they don't hurt Jiang Yao, they will get rid of me as much as possible, so when everyone's attention is on Jiang Yao, they will send additional people to attack me.

I don't know if the people who were sent here were worried about Yu Jing in their hearts, so they didn't kill me, if those people weren't caught between the two factions, I'm afraid that I have been beaten into a sieve by arrows at this moment, where can I breathe here properly.

I don't know if there is anyone in the palace who is in harmony with the Yu clan, at least from the fact that Yu Jing sent someone to kidnap me alone, he definitely didn't act rashly, but got some definite information.

So what about the group of people I met after Zhao Yi rushed out with me? I'm afraid it's not on Yujing's side!

What about Zhao Yi? The "I'm sorry" he said to me at the beginning, the kind of eyes he made me look pale at the beginning, did he already know that the person who shot this time might be someone from the Yu clan?

If he knows, then what kind of attitude does he have towards me? Obviously, he was standing in the carriage and shouting "Queen Mother", undoubtedly to attract everyone's attention, if he was really there, he would definitely be led by this sentence.

Zhao Yi obviously also knew that there might be more than one wave of people in ambush, so he would take me from a place where there was no threat to my life to escape to those who wanted to kill me, because the other party retained a strong killing intent and malice, then Zhao Yi was the one who stood on the moral high ground.

I'm still too naïve, just the first time Zhao Yi appeared, I should think about it carefully, the ministers and the harem concubines should not be too close, so Zhao Yi appeared here is very likely to be allowed by Jiang Yao.

Why did you arrange me to the end, in order to use me as bait to lure out Yujing?

In the game between the two sides, the Yu clan did not have the upper hand as a force in the rivers and lakes, not to mention that the Yu clan still has a tendency to develop in the capital in recent years, and it has the intention of getting involved in court politics.

This assassination operation was unsuccessful, maybe the people of the Yu clan didn't really want to kill Jiang Yao, but wanted to give him a warning and tell the current emperor that the Yu clan is not easy to mess with.

But this is a contest between the two sides either you die or I die, Jiang Yao is a person who will not back down, and the Yu clan is also the arrogance accumulated over the past hundred years, one of the two sides must make concessions before both sides lose the fight, then, the side that leaks the flaws first loses, for Jiang Yao, who is bent on suppressing the Yu clan, Yu Jing is this excellent bargaining chip.

What about Zhao Yi? At that time, in the paddock, he whispered to me "I'm sorry", and the look in his eyes when he looked at me was about to stop talking, did he already find out that it was probably the handiwork of the Yu clan?

As Yu Jing's playmate from childhood to adulthood, Zhao Yi's understanding of Yu Jing must be deeper than mine, personality, archery, they have all studied countless times, and it is not difficult to deduce the identity of that person from the other party's moves.

Why did Zhao Yi stand in front of the carriage and shout "Queen Mother"? I don't think he's threatening the other party, it's more to remind some people who have a heart - the queen is here, take it if you want.

Zhao Yi is definitely not a mediocre and ordinary person who usually shows, on the contrary, he can know how to restrain his edge when he is young and vigorous, he is definitely one of the best people among the dragon and phoenix, once he was the official slaughterer, and he is also the minister of the humerus in the court, assisting the right-hand man of Yin Jun.

It's a pity that in his childhood friend and Jiang Yao, who was in the position of the emperor, Zhao Yi still chose to be loyal. I looked at the other group of people hiding in the shadows and were about to move, knowing that the praying mantis catching cicadas and the yellow finch were behind, I was afraid that Zhao Yi had already set up an ambush here, as long as Yujing appeared, he would definitely have no return.

Zhao Yi doesn't have such a big right to act alone, and Jiang Yao knows about it, so he arranged me to be the last, so as not to hurt the other concubines, Jiang Yao thought of everything, I just thought that he was thinking about my safety.

I suddenly laughed, the kind of transparency that cleared the thick fog and finally saw the original truth, and broke away from Zhao Yi's hand.

The wrist was grabbed back again, with a domineering and fierce that could not be refused, I was a little painful, mixed with the anger in my heart, and said coldly: "Let go!" ”

"The queen has such a big temper."

The voice......

I turned around and saw Jiang Yao standing firmly beside me, his eyes firmly looking at the masked man in front of him, and there was a little understatement of disdain in his eyes. It seems that everything is under his control, and it is more about the slight pride of the victory in this game.

I'm white, this is a contest between Jiang Yao and the Yu clan, so now that I am involved, the purpose is no longer so simple and timeless. It is true that the Yu clan can send someone to assassinate them, which is not very glorious, but fortunately, the other party has hidden themselves very well, who can know what Jiang Yao has done to the Yu clan in the past?

Jiang Yao came, to be honest, I was a little flustered, although I felt a little angry and resentful in my heart, but when this object was really standing in front of me, I was a little scared.

Jiang Yao is an uncontrollable person, he has a strong desire to win and lose, and he will never allow others to contaminate his own things, even if he is a nominal queen like me.

The masked people around him didn't dare to act rashly, and the guards who ambushed in the shadows were also well hidden, Jiang Yao stood in the center of all the focal points, and said with a smile: "If you don't dare, just retreat, and I will leave you with a whole corpse!" ”

The group of masked people looked at each other for a moment, and made up their minds in their hearts, it was impossible to retreat at the moment, but how could the people of the Yu clan be compared to the rabble, even if they wanted to die, they had to die with dignity, and they must not insult the pride of the Yu clan.

Jiang Yao gave an order, and the guards hiding in the shadows also appeared, the group of masked people were obviously not ordinary people, and they all played every move to the extreme, even if they did not have an advantage in numbers, they still easily controlled the situation.

Jiang Yao took my wrist and took two steps back, as if he also felt a little underestimated.

The more menacing these people are, it is enough to see how jealous and defensive the people of the Yu clan are against me, I am afraid that each of them has received a military order, and they will not give up if they do not take my life.

I don't know if it's because of me, or if there are other concerns, Jiang Yao's movements are a little stiff, and he also tried to defend against the attack that Zhao Yi didn't have time to prevent.

Although that person was quickly blocked by the guards beside Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao had already leaked the bottom, and the next people were even more one after another, trying every means to get close to Jiang Yao.

I'm a little worried, although Jiang Yao is not a good husband to me, he is definitely a virtuous king to the people of the world, and I can tell which is more important.

When Zhao Yi finally got out and stood beside Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao watched the sky getting darker and darker, and knew that if he continued to consume it, he would only suffer, so he ordered: "Zhao Yi, you take the queen to escape first, and there will be someone under the mountain to answer you." ”
