Qin Shuyan lowered her head and said nothing.

Madame Qin took her hand and said step by step: "This time King Qi's birthday banquet, let's only participate in it and not mix. ”

Only then did she answer Qin Shuyan's question: "The second prince hasn't expressed his position for the time being, but your father has already mentioned this matter to the emperor a few days ago, and the emperor has not refused." ”

If there is no rejection, there is hope.

Now they are not afraid of anything else, they are afraid that Qin Shuyan will not cooperate.

Looking at this face that was full of contradictions and entanglements at the moment, Mrs. Qin couldn't help but sigh: "Don't think nonsense, if the emperor asks, you must not make a mistake, you know?" ”

"But ......"

Qin Shuyan wanted to say something, but Mrs. Qin shook her head.

"You've always been a smart kid, you should know what to choose."

Mrs. Qin patiently persuaded her: "You don't like the third princess, don't you still be a good sister with her for many years?" Now you don't like the second prince, but you didn't understand it before, my mother looks at him as a talent, and he is worthy of you. ”

Qin Shuyan felt that these were not two things that could be compared, not to mention: "Although my daughter has been good sisters with the third princess for many years, I still don't like her in my heart......"

She had to say it again, but Mrs. Qin finally had a cold face: "Okay, the words of the parents are the matchmaker, that is, the prince and the princess must also listen to the emperor!" I'm just afraid that you won't be able to turn around to persuade you, what your father and grandfather decided, is it possible that there is still room for you to resist? ”

These words made Qin Shuyan's face stiffen.

It's not that she doesn't understand, but marriage is really not so easy to compromise.

"The Qin family is different from the past, the crown prince is gone, if we don't turn to the second prince, he will ascend the throne in the future, and the first thing to deal with is us!"

Mrs. Qin was a little angry, if not, why did they have to bow their heads to others?

At that time, the Qin family was high, so it didn't matter if they satisfied their daughter and let her marry King Qi.

But now the world has changed.

She finally suppressed her voice and whispered: "When the Qin family is infinitely beautiful, you enjoy the honor, and now that the family is in trouble, you should take responsibility, do you want our family to be wiped out like the Jiang family in the future?" ”

Qin Shuyan choked for a moment, feeling that her mother was really a bit alarmist.

Why did the Jiang family destroy the door, it was a master of high merit, and it was a collaborator with the enemy and treason, no matter what point the Qin family could not get involved in now, how could it be to the point of annihilation.

But the words had already been said to this point, and she would never listen to her mother again if she wanted to refute them.

Maybe the second prince is indeed a good choice, but ...... What should His Royal Highness King Qi do?

She couldn't help but think of the scene every time she saw King Qi before, he was so good, so gentle, and always looked like a fairy, which made people fascinated and intoxicated.

talked to him several times, but he didn't dare to look at her squarely, and deliberately showed that he was very close to Jiang Mengyun that day.

He should have her in his heart......

Qin Shuyan twisted her handkerchief in distress and didn't move for a long time.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of King Qi's birthday.

Jiang Mengyun had nothing to give, so he picked a piece of jade in better condition and made a fan pendant.

The last time I went to Prince Li's mansion, I was followed by peony, but now things are people, and the person who is bent on dealing with himself will die first.

Mingyue was packing up her things and preparing to send them out, and when she saw the fan pendant in her hand, she also remembered that she had said about peony before, but remembered a message: "Girl, a few days ago, Peony's mother asked someone to deliver a message." ”

"Deliver a message?" Jiang Mengyun was a little curious, "What words?" ”

"I said that I want the girl to pity the daughter, and I want you to plead for mercy and give their family some relief." Mingyue said and smiled, "I heard that his brother's bride price was not ready, and the family that was originally scheduled to ruin the marriage, and he was unwilling to marry his daughter to him." ”

Jiang Mengyun pondered for a moment, and quickly understood.

"Are they so poor that they run out of food?" She asked.

Mingyue couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly: "How does the girl know?" Their family used to rely on peonies, but now that she has committed a crime, she has no source of livelihood. Before, they were still thinking about begging the queen, but who knows......"

She didn't say any more, and changed the subject: "I heard that her father and brother are not so easy to get along with, and she secretly took the girl's things before, and she was about to send them home." ”

Jiang Mengyun smiled.

Now that he still has the ability to find someone to help bring the message into the palace, it seems that the original peony in this palace is not as simple as it seems.

She looked up and asked, "Do you know who came in and brought it?" ”

Mingyue didn't expect her to ask this, so she was stunned for a moment: "This...... It was a small palace maid in the imperial dining room who came to see the slave maid, but she should also help others spread the word. ”

Jiang Mengyun raised his eyebrows and asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Mingyue thought about it for a while, and then said: "The slave didn't hear it before, but then she accidentally said it and leaked it, as if she couldn't afford to say something if things didn't work out." The slave maid thought that if she helped outsiders to spread the word, there should be nothing she couldn't afford. ”

But what they can't afford is nothing to do with Jiang Mengyun.

Not to mention that Peony has always been kind to her, even this kind of faceless person who relies on pretending to be pitiful to win the sympathy of others, she will not be nosy.

The topic was quickly brought up, and it didn't take long for someone to rush to say it was time to go.

The holy driver left the palace, and he was accompanied by a concubine, so although it was in the capital, a lot of guards were still arranged.

Emperor Liang had told Jiang Mengyun to follow Concubine Yi every step of the way.

Concubine Xi was helped into the carriage by Xiaoxing, Jiang Mengyun seemed to remember something, and was about to get into the car, but suddenly stopped.

Several people stayed in front of the carriage for a while before they got into the carriage, and the team moved forward slowly.

The distance from the Daliang Palace to Prince Li's Mansion is not too far, but because of the large number of people following, it seems to be much slower than when I traveled alone before.

Jiang Mengyun and Mingyue were sitting in a carriage, tightening the fan pendant that had been prepared before.

Mingyue watched from the side for a while, and subconsciously wanted to lift the curtain to look out, but Jiang Mengyun suddenly raised her hand to stop her.

"Don't move." She said.

Mingyue was startled by her sudden action, and she didn't react: "Girl, what's wrong?" ”

Jiang Mengyun didn't answer.

But soon, there was a noise outside.

Sharp arrows suddenly flew in all directions, and the forbidden army shouted in unison to greet them, and a few of them couldn't dodge and were shot to the point, and immediately fell to the ground screaming.

Without waiting for everyone to react, several masked black-clothed men flew over, with long swords in their hands, and rushed madly towards the carriage of the royal driver and the concubine.

The royal driver was supposed to be the key object of protection, but at this moment, all the forbidden troops hurriedly surrounded the concubine's carriage.

There's no way, they just can't surround it if they don't want to!

Before leaving, the emperor suddenly ordered that it was Jiang Mengyun who was originally sitting with the concubine, but now it is the emperor.

The inside of the royal car was empty, and Jiang Mengyun himself got a small carriage to follow.

Who would have thought that something would really happen!

Emperor Liang and Concubine Xi were kissing and talking tiredly, and Concubine Yan was talking about the little thing in her stomach kicking her, and their carriage was kicked several times from the outside.

Fortunately, in order to ensure safety this time, this carriage is made of pure iron, and several layers are reinforced inside and outside, otherwise it would have been torn apart long ago with the movement at this moment.

Concubine Yu screamed in fright, and the whole person pounced on Emperor Liang: "Your Majesty, what's wrong, what's wrong?" Ahh

She probably used all her strength, so the voice was so high-pitched and loud that the group of people in black were all attacked by the sound waves.

It was this pause that the forbidden army had come back to their senses.

Jiang Mengyun lifted the curtain and glanced out, and it happened that a man in black was poked into a sieve by several forbidden soldiers, and he threw it in front of them with all his might.

There was a muffled "bang".

Jiang Mengyun lowered the curtain before he crashed into the carriage, and pressed it with his hand, so that the person did not crash directly into the carriage.

Mingyue was so frightened that she wanted to scream, but fortunately, her hands were faster than her brains, and she had already covered her mouth violently.

She was trembling all over, but her reason was still there: "Girl, this, what's going on?" ”

"Kill." Jiang Mengyun smiled.

This time, the assassin didn't know what kind of people he used, and his martial arts were obviously higher than the one who attacked her in the palace before, but it was only a little higher.

As far as fighting alone is concerned, Jiang Mengyun thinks that he can still get out of the way.

But now the other party obviously has no intention of fighting alone.

Look at this battle, in order to ensure that the mission is foolproof, the tactics of crowds are used to deal with her, a little weak woman.

The crisis was temporarily lifted, and Jiang Mengyun opened the curtains a little more.

In order to ensure the emperor's safety, the forbidden army obviously tried their best and did not hesitate to use their bodies to block forward.

A few men in black didn't look like the kind of killers who liked to walk alone, but they faintly put themselves in formation, and there were people in the front, back, left and right who held important directions.

A few people in the vicinity were wielding long swords, and the first few in the back were holding large swords.

On the roof in the distance, there were several archers.

This is obviously something that has been hidden and arranged for a long time, and I don't know what the officers and soldiers who came to investigate the danger did before, and it seems that they did not find so many assassins.

"Brothers, come on!" The black-clothed man at the head roared, and rushed over again with his sword like crazy.

They missed the blow and flew forward again.

The long sword and the broadsword slashed at the carriage of the carriage fiercely, making a "sonorous" sound of gold and stone impact.

This defense is really powerful, and they are a little confused about what to do for a while.

The forbidden army immediately found an opportunity to take advantage of, and rushed forward without showing weakness to resist.

The carriage is very safe, as long as the other party does not open the door, you will not be able to hurt the people inside.

After all, they are more numerous, and they are completely unafraid of death, and they quickly grasp the initiative.

The people stood in a circle, and the concubine's carriage was guarded in it.

Although the man in black was fierce, he couldn't attack it for a long time, so he suddenly had scruples and didn't want to continue fighting.

They seemed to let out a low roar of annoyance, and one of them tried to go up again, but was stopped by his companions, and fired two arrows symbolically, pulling up a few of the seriously wounded on the ground, and running away.

It wasn't until the battle was completely over and someone stepped forward to tell the situation that Emperor Liang opened the car door angrily with a black face.

"Give me a check! Who is going to assassinate me and Concubine Xu, I will give you a day's work to turn the capital upside down, and also find out who is committing the rebellion, do you hear? ”

"Subordinates listen to orders!" The forbidden army responded in unison.

Emperor Liang was still a little apprehensive when he sat back in the carriage, but fortunately he listened to Jiang Mengyun's words and changed his seat before leaving, otherwise if he was still in the imperial car, the forbidden army soldiers were guarded in two ways, I am afraid that he might not be the opponent of the assassin.

When the time comes, they will definitely choose to do their best to protect him, so won't the concubine ......

As soon as this thought passed through his mind, Emperor Liang couldn't help frowning, could it be that the other party's real target was actually Concubine Xuan? But what is it for her little concubine to spend such strength to assassinate?

Is it because she's pregnant?

Emperor Liang's face suddenly darkened completely, and he subconsciously thought of what Jiang Mengyun had reminded him of before.

Sure enough, the question of heirs is urgent.

If they don't hurry up and have more sons, and don't wait for the enemy country to attack, they themselves may perish.

The other party obviously thought of this, so he refused to let go of the pregnant concubine.

It's just that I don't know if this incident is whether the assassins from the enemy country have infiltrated the capital, or if there is a mistake within the Great Liang.

Because of this episode, the forbidden army suddenly became more vigilant, and almost everyone was protected outside the carriage.

The news of the assassination of the holy driver also quickly caused quite a stir.

Some merchants on the side of the road secretly looked out through the crack in the door, originally wanting to see if they could see the emperor's true face, but who knew that they saw a bloody assassination, and they were immediately frightened.

Until the team left, they didn't dare to go out for a long time.

However, Prince Li's Mansion got the news and hurriedly sent an additional team of guards to respond.

But fortunately, there were no more accidents on the road after that.

Jiang Mengyun sat in the carriage and tightened the last rope of the fan pendant, while Mingyue was pale and trembling all the way and didn't dare to speak.

The second time.

The second time such an impactful assassination occurred in front of her eyes again, if the last time in the palace was only a little frightening, this time it made people feel chills.

Those strong killing intent can be felt even by a person like her, who doesn't know martial arts.

The girl seems to have guessed that this will happen before, maybe those who are not going to the emperor and the concubine at this moment are not going to the emperor and the concubine at all, but are coming to the girl like last time?

Although Mingyue didn't know the reason, she somewhat understood King Qi's worries.

No wonder she had to take the risk to tell her that day, she must go to Miss Jiang's side and protect her.

But now, it seems that she hasn't really done anything to protect her, but she is a girl, and she will be in danger when she returns.

Although it was a birthday banquet, Mo Ziqi did not go to work in person.

When someone outside helps greet guests, he is happy.

What's more, he is not in the mood to care about these things at the moment.

Yuan Bao rushed in in a hurry, and took several breaths before choking and said, "Master, no, it's okay, Miss Jiang, they've arrived." ”
