Chapter 508: The Carriage Gives Way
A maid walked out of the Shen family's carriage, opened the umbrella, and walked in the direction of Yuan Wu and them.
Only then did I see clearly that behind the carriage was a group of guards wearing black cloaks, all with swords on their bodies, their heads hung down, and their faces could not be seen clearly, but they were all waiting quietly behind their horses at this time, and did not move.
The maid, who was originally quite imposing, suddenly calmed down, but she still stubbornly completed Madame's instructions.
She walked up to Yuan Wu and asked, "You guys...... Which house is it?"
Yuan Wu raised his eyes and looked at the maid in front of him, but did not speak.
Seeing that Yuan Wu ignored herself, the maid was a little angry in her heart, but she dared not speak out, after all, they still had so many guards.
But the second master of his own family is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he is also the number one in the court, so he suddenly had the courage to ask: "What about you, which house are you from?"
Ji Yanning in the carriage heard the movement, lifted the curtain, and looked at the maid: "What's the matter?"
The maid beside Mrs. Shen naturally recognized Ji Yanning, and when she saw her appearance, her eyes widened suddenly: "It's you!"
Yuan Wu replied to Ji Yanning and said: "The carriage in front of us asked us to retreat, intending to pass first, but our subordinates have already given up a lot, and it stands to reason that we can pass, but there is no passing on the other side." β
Ji Yanning's gaze was faint, he looked at Mrs. Shen's maid, and said, "Since your coachman can't come, you can go back and let us go first." β
"Why did you let you go first?" said the maid, reluctantly.
Ji Yanning raised his eyebrows slightly: "We have already given it to you, but you can't get over, is it possible for us to stay here with you in the rain?"
The maid just wanted to say something, but when she saw Yuan Wu's expression, she immediately sank, as if as long as she said a word, the coachman would kill her.
She shuddered, but didn't finish her sentence: "I'll go and tell Madame." β
The maid hurriedly climbed back to Mrs. Shen's carriage with an umbrella and said, "Madam, in the carriage opposite is the eldest lady of the Ji family, Ji Yanning." β
Hearing Ji Yanning's name, Mrs. Shen and Shen Yanlan were both stunned.
Immediately, I heard Mrs. Shen say: "It's really unlucky, sure enough, there is nothing good to meet her." β
"Miss Ji also said to let our carriage back and let them pass first. The maid said.
Mrs. Shen sneered: "Why do you want me to let them?"
"Yes. Shen Yanlan echoed and said outside, "Coachman, hurry over and let the opposite one retreat." β
The coachman saw that the other side had slowly moved the carriage to the middle of the street, and he wanted to shout at them, but when he saw the guards behind them, he was immediately stunned.
He turned to Mrs. Shen in the carriage and said, "Madam, let's go back first and let them pass first." β
Mrs. Shen didn't want to see Ji Yanning in the first place, and this time they met on a narrow road, she must be unwilling to give in, she said: "Don't let go." β
Jin Hece immediately stepped forward and said: "Presumptuous, you dare to get in the way of the carriage of the Xuan Palace, you are impatient!"
Since the person opposite is so stubborn, they naturally don't mind using their identity to oppress others.
Jinhe's voice was so loud that even in the pouring rain, his words could still be heard clearly.
Mrs. Shen was stunned and froze in place.
Only then did I remember that Ji Yanning had been named the county lord of Congxi and married King Xuan, who was the fiancΓ©e of King Xuan.
She lifted a crack in the curtain slightly, and sure enough, she saw that there were a lot of guards around the carriage opposite, and the posture was really not small, it seemed that King Xuan should also be in the carriage.
Mrs. Shen secretly scolded Ji Yan rather than a fox and a fake tiger, but at the same time, she could only admit it, after all, their Shen family could not afford to provoke the palace.
She gritted her teeth and said to the coachman, "Stand back." β
When the groom heard that the other party was from the Xuan Palace, he thought that he had made them wait for so long just now, and he was a little frightened for a while, so he could only hurriedly let the carriage move to the side slowly.
Although he had just made way to a small road, Yuan Wu had already ridden his horse and passed by quickly.
As soon as the carriage passed, a group of black-clad guards followed, and the sound of horses' hooves was particularly clear in the rainy night.
"Boom!"
There was another thunderclap, which frightened Mrs. Shen and Shen Yanlan in the carriage.
"It's all Ji Yanning, it's really bad luck to meet her. Mrs. Shen couldn't help but say.
Shen Yanlan lowered her eyes and said: "But with such a net worth, I didn't expect to be able to climb high to His Royal Highness King Xuan." β
When I think of the posture just now, I am so good when I go out, isn't that the princess's style?
Originally, she didn't look down on Ji Yanning, and felt that she was not worthy of her brother, but she was even less worthy of King Xuan.
Shen Yanlan had seen King Xuan from afar, he was a man with a very outstanding appearance, he heard that he had made many meritorious contributions, and now he held great power, he was the husband candidate that the ladies of the family in Chang'an City thought about, but he didn't expect to be picked by Ji Yanning.
How can she Ji Yanning be able to marry King Xuan as a concubine?
Mrs. Shen snorted coldly: "She looks like a fox, but she fascinates men, and it won't be long before King Xuan will definitely dislike her." β
Shen Yanlan didn't speak, she was thinking, Ji Yanning can be a princess, she is so much better than Ji Yanning, why can't this kind of good thing fall on her head?
The carriage began to move, but the groom was not very good at driving, and was hit at first, and it took a long time to straighten the carriage.
Now that the carriage of the Xuan Wangfu is not there, he can't blame others.
When Ji Yanning returned to Liufu, Ziyu was already waiting at the gate of the mansion with an umbrella, and when she saw the carriage stop, she hurriedly stepped forward with an umbrella.
"Let's go back. Ji Yanning turned around and smiled at Rong Che.
Rong Che helped her down, nodded, and said, "I watched you go in." β
Because he cried for too long when he was in Linglong Mountain, Ji Yanning's eyes were still a little red and swollen, and when he heard Rong Che's words, a smile flashed in the corners of his eyes, and he walked into the mansion with Ziyu.
The rain was very heavy, thunder and lightning, and it did not stop until midnight, and it has been violently washing the entire Chang'an City.
It's like you're washing something.
Ji Yanning was a little disturbed by the thunder, her heart was beating so hard that she always felt bored.
This rainy night made her sound a lot of dying things again.
She was scared.
She covered her head with the quilt, trying not to hear the wind, rain, thunder and lightning outside, but the rain tonight was so strong that she couldn't ignore it.
The body became more and more cold, Ji Yanning covered his ears tightly, and his body curled up into a ball.
Suddenly, someone lifted her quilt, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly pulled out her dagger and subconsciously stabbed at the other party.
It's just that as soon as Ji Yanning's hand was waved into the air, he was directly held by someone and couldn't move.
"It's me. β
It was Rong Che's voice.
Ji Yanning's eyes widened, still a little incredulous, her eyesight was very good, even at night, she could clearly see Rong Che's appearance.
His clear eyes looked even better in the dark.
Rong Che took off the dagger and placed it on a stool beside him.
Ji Yanning looked at Rong Che, and finally couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and cry.
Rong Che gently patted her back, feeling her body cold, and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." β
Ji Yanning leaned on his arms, her eyes kept falling, she didn't know why she was so excited, she had never been a crying person, she had already cried twice today.
My eyes hurt, but I couldn't stop the tears.
"I'm useless. Ji Yanning asked.
Rong Che shook his head and said, "No, you're good enough." β
Ji Yanning sobbed: "I'm so afraid, I'm so afraid that I will fall asleep, and I will go back to the beginning, back to twenty-two years ago." I'm afraid that what is happening now is just a slap in the face. β
Rong Che hugged her tightly, and found that her body was still trembling.
"It's not a dream, I'm real, and you're real. Rong Che said, "Everything will be fine." β
Ji Yanning continued: "I saw my bones buried today, and I feel that it is the real me who has died, what am I now? I am afraid that when I wake up, this body will become the original Ji Yanning again. β
Rong Che listened to her words, his eyes were slightly sunken, he didn't know what he was thinking, and said: "What I like is you, it is you now, no matter what you become, I will not give up." β
When Ji Yanning heard his voice, he didn't know why he gradually calmed down.
The restless heart was finally calmed, and the sobs became quieter and quieter.
She knew exactly who she really was and what she was going to do.
She can't have weaknesses and can't back down easily.
Because the great revenge has not been avenged.
Because there are still those who care about her.
Ji Yanning gradually quieted down, Rong Che looked down at her, took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes for her, and said, "Don't cry anymore, your eyes can't stand it." β
"Uh-huh. Ji Yanning replied softly.
She won't cry anymore, she will make the enemy kneel in front of her and cry to her!
Several huge thunders sounded in the sky, and every time Ji Yanning couldn't help but tremble, although the movement was very small, Rong Che still felt it.
He hugged Ji Yanning in his arms and let her lie down in peace.
"Are you sleeping in my room like this?" Ji Yanning looked at Rong Che, who lay down with him and encircled himself in his arms.
Rong Che looked at her: "It's not that I haven't slept, when I was in Laizhou before, when I was in Qianzhou, wasn't it like this? β
Ji Yanning said: "Then you ...... tomorrow morning"
"Don't worry, you won't be discovered. Rong Che chuckled, "You don't have to worry about these little things." β
Ji Yanning nodded, leaned on his arms, gradually calmed down, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he slowly fell asleep.
