Shen Xizhi hiccuped and followed behind Jiang Jingyu, and after venting, she felt that her body and mind were smooth, even if she met Zhang Lianyi at this time, she could face it calmly.

"Lord Wang, then again, if you collect the corpses of you and my family, won't the emperor blame you?" she asked with a pair of red eyes.

After the sun sank into the distant mountains, twilight began to spread from the horizon.

"Why do you think this king entered the palace today?" Jiang Jingyu asked without answering. It was nothing more than that he secretly collected the corpses of the Shen family was revealed, and the emperor asked him for guilt.

Thinking of all the things in the imperial study, Jiang Jingyu frowned.

At that time, the Shen family's dossier was thrown at his feet by the emperor, and today asked him angrily: "You have the audacity to collect the bones of the Shen family for the sake of a Shen pity, where do you place me?"

"Do you think I don't know what you are doing with the Shen family's files? Have you seen anything wrong and found out anything unusual? No, no, then the Shen family's sin is a certainty, real!"

It is said that the Son of Heaven is angry and floats millions of corpses, but in the imperial study, Jiang Jingyu stood in front of the angry emperor and blocked all his anger.

After all, it is a pity that she is the princess of Erchen, and Erchen hopes to calm her heart. ”

"Peace of mind?" the emperor suppressed the anger in his heart, "What is her identity, what is your identity? You have rebelled several times for her, you are really addicted to love, confused!"

"Erchen understands. Jiang Jingyu hung his head, looking like he didn't eat oil and salt, "Erchen likes her and is willing to love her." What's more, isn't the son like this now, isn't that what his father wants to see?"

He showed a cold smile and stabbed the emperor in the eye.

"Get out, get out! I don't have a rebel like you!" the Emperor roared and chased him away.

"That's how he is...... Who is it with?" A helpless sigh fell into Jiang Jingyu's ears and turned into a useless wind.

"What about you?" Shen Xizhi touched Jiang Jingyu, "Does the emperor know about you helping my family collect the corpses? Then can he punish you? You are already not a saint, if you are rejected again, how can it be good?"

In the end, she was worried, 027 said that Jiang Jingyu was the protagonist of this world, but in her opinion, Jiang Jingyu left the palace at a young age and went through twists and turns. In recent years, the emperor has become more and more interested in enjoying the joy of family, so that he can say a few words in front of the emperor.

If he was hated by the emperor because of himself, wouldn't there be nothing?

"It didn't matter, I told some lies and coaxed over. Jiang Jingyu could see the care in her eyes, and the chill in her eyes seemed to dissipate somewhat.

The quarrel between him and the emperor will definitely fall into the ears of others, just let him see who is behind it.

The Shen family was buried halfway up the mountain, and when going down the mountain, Jiang Jingyu took out the lanterns that had been prepared a long time ago, and the two lit the lanterns, and groped with a little light in the square inch, extending the time of going down the mountain a lot.

"What do I think...... We seem to be lost. "The road during the day and the road at night seem to be diametrically opposed. Shen Xizhi's eyes widened, and there was no thought in his head.

Jiang Jingyu observed quietly for a moment, he raised his hand and touched a tree, and a scratch appeared from under his hand.

It's not a sign he made, someone is leading them astray.

But when he lowered his head to meet Shen Xizhi's blank gaze, he lied, "It's this road, and the mountain road is difficult to walk at night, so it seems slow." ”

Shen Xizhi nodded matter-of-factly, "That's the truth." ”

After a while, the light went away.

The killers in the shadows held their breath. They did not pass on the nocturnal clothes, but wore the clothes of mountain bandits, and took advantage of the night to try to kill their prey in one fell swoop.

"Go this way. Seeing that Shen Xizhi was about to step into the encirclement, Jiang Jingyu quietly pulled her, and didn't look at the mark on the tree over there, "That mark is wrongly engraved." ”

"Damn!" the killer in the grass slammed the ground in annoyance, then reached for a flare, and with a shriek, a little silver light dragged its long tail into the sky.

"What is that?" Shen Xi's heart was not good, but Jiang Jingyu covered his eyes, grabbed her waist with one hand, and her figure disappeared in an instant.

Then a few more silver lights rushed into the sky, and at the same time, the killers hidden in the shadows all appeared, and no matter how ignorant Shen Xizhi was, he understood that someone was trying to take their lives.

Who could it be?

While being taken away by Jiang Jingyu to escape for her life, she also had some thoughts to think about.

She's just a weak woman, she doesn't want anything, and no one should want to kill her. And although Jiang Jingyu is the prince, he has no real power, let alone an enemy.

But that doesn't make sense - who would want to kill someone for no reason?

The lantern had already been discarded in the process of escaping, and Shen Xizhi did not have the same good eyesight as Jiang Jingyu, and she couldn't see clearly at night, so she could only be half-pulled and half-dragged by Jiang Jingyu to shuttle through the forest.

At this time, the killers are like hunters, and they are tracking the two like ghosts.

"Hide here. Jiang Jingyu took her to a small cave and grabbed the dead branches and leaves next to her to cover up.

I don't know when the sound of a symphony of soldiers came from outside, but no one shouted out, this was a bloody battle with only weapons colliding.

Shen Xizhi's back leaned against the stone wall, and he reacted in hindsight and asked him: "Are those reinforcements arranged by the prince outside?

For the sake of caution, neither of them said that they would take out the fire fold to illuminate it, but the cave seemed to be a little small, and Shen Xizhi could almost hear the steady heartbeat in Jiang Jingyu's chest.

She retreated silently, the coldness of the stone wall reaching her body through her clothes, and it was very uncomfortable.

Jiang Jingyu's deep voice sounded, "The enemy who has been planning for a long time, this king is just luring the snake out of the hole today. ”

The voice was very close, as if it was above Shen Xizhi's head.

After he finished speaking, Shen Xizhi nodded, and remembered that he couldn't see it in such darkness, so he answered softly.

What she won't ask is where Jiang Jingyu, an idle prince who doesn't even have real power, came from such an enemy who wants his life.

She didn't know that in the dark, there was a pair of calm eyes that kept looking at her, seemingly deep, but without the slightest emotion.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Xizhi's tense nerves relaxed in the gradually dissipating sound of fighting.

Suddenly, a faint light came from far and near, and Wei He, who had opened the branches at the entrance of the cave, poked his head over, handed the torch to his subordinates, knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord Wang, all the thieves have been ambushed." ”

Back where the carriage was parked, it was already completely dark. Fortunately, Wen Ru had already picked up firewood and lit the fire, and sprinkled some anti-snakes, insects, rats and ants around it.

As soon as the two approached, they saw a pot on the shelf of Wen Ru on the fire, and the pot was bubbling.
