Ruan Ze was indeed extremely guilty, and readily agreed. He looked at Ji Yunyun without saying anything, and asked again: "Miss Ji, how could the people from King An's Mansion come to Zhuangzi so coincidentally?" ”

"I don't know." Ji Yunyun shook his head, saw Ruan Ze's face, and understood, "Are you suspecting that I told the prince that they would come to Zhuangzi so coincidentally?" ”

She couldn't help but explain, "Shizi is not such a nosy person, he won't care about the matter between you and Miss Huo, and he won't tell others about us, you can rest assured." If you are afraid that there will be an accident on the way down the mountain, you might as well ask them how many days they plan to stay, so that we can leave early. ”

"I'm not worried that the prince will tell anyone about us, it's just ...... I feel that Shizi seems to care a little about you, Miss Ji. Ruan Ze waved his hand and finished speaking.

Ji Yunyun was stunned for a moment, his cheeks couldn't help but be a little hot, and he glared at him angrily, "Don't talk nonsense." I was tired and went back to the house to rest. After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ruan Ze stood in place and was a little stunned, this was the first time he saw her shy expression, the corners of her eyes were crimson, her eyes were bright, he had been in contact with her for so long, and he never thought that she would have such a little daughter.

"Cousin." A timid shout next to him woke him up, and he turned his head to look over, Huo Xiuxiu was standing under a tree not far away, not knowing when he came.

"Cousin." Seeing that there was no one around, Ruan Ze hurriedly pulled her behind the rockery and asked with concern: "Yesterday, you massaged your mother until the middle of the night, and you didn't rest in the house, why did you come out?" ”

"Last night, because of Miss Ji's matter, Mrs. didn't have a good appetite, I didn't eat anything for dinner, I heard that she likes to eat red fruit cheese, I want to find ingredients and make a bowl for Mrs. by hand." Huo Xiuxiu said.

Ruan Ze said with a smile: "If you have a heart, I will let people look for ingredients, you go back to the house to rest first." ”

"I just saw Miss Ji and it seems that there is nothing serious, what are you talking to her?" Huo Xiuxiu clenched her sleeves, looked up at him and asked.

"I'm apologizing to her, if I hadn't begged her to come with me, she wouldn't have been bitten by a poisonous snake." Ruan Ze said with a look of shame.

"She doesn't blame you, does she? Miss Ji is really a good person, she is good-looking, has a good family background, and is kind-hearted and willing to help others, no wonder...... No wonder Madame likes her, I have no way of comparing myself with her. Huo Xiuxiu bit her lip and said.

"You don't have to compare with her, in my heart, you are the best." Ruan Ze reached out and hugged her into his arms and kissed the top of her hair, "No matter how good-looking a girl in the world is, she can't compare to my Xiuxiu." ”

"Will talk and coax me." Huo Xiuxiu buried a smile in his arms with a smile on her lips, but the picture of Ruan Ze watching Ji Yunyun leave just now kept flashing in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart.

After staying in Zhuangzi for another two days, Li asked his subordinates to pack their luggage and prepare to go down the mountain to return to the capital. I have asked people before, and it will take a few days for the group of An Wangfu to return to the capital, who knew that when Zhuangzi walked to the mountain road, he saw a few carriages waiting on the side of the road in front of him, and it was the people of An Wangfu.

Qi Chengduan sat on the horse, saw someone coming from behind, rode up to meet him, and arched his hand towards the current Li family's carriage: "Madam, our carriage is broken down in the middle of the road, can you borrow a section?" Someone had been sent back to the palace, and when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, a carriage from the palace would come to pick them up. ”

"It's okay, Ze'er, help the prince." Li lifted the curtain and smiled and agreed.

There are only two carriages in King An's Mansion, one for Princess An, and the other for Qi Yan and Qi Qing, and now both carriages are broken down in the middle of the road, so they can only go to the carriage of Chongenbo Mansion. Princess An took Biqiu to the Li family's carriage, and Qi Yan and Qi Qing went to Ji Yunyun's carriage.

Ruan Ze led people to help remove the carriage that was blocking the middle of the mountain road, and the group slowly got back on the road.

"Didn't you return to the capital in a few days? Why are you on the road today? On the carriage, Ji Yunyun asked Qi Yandao.

Qi Yan said: "Originally, it would be a few days, but Sister Yun, didn't you send a piece of warm jade to the mother concubine, it was more useful than soaking in a hot spring, so the eldest brother decided to go back to the palace in advance." ”

It's such a coincidence, it can't be intentional. Ji Yunyun picked up a crack in the curtain and looked outside, Qi Cheng was riding a horse in front of the carriage.

Ruan Ze was very uneasy, in the past few days, he had finally let Huo Xiuxiu get close to his mother and cultivated some good feelings, and now the two were sitting in the same carriage again, and the plan that had been made early in the morning could not be disrupted.

He turned the horse's head to Qi Cheng's side, and the two of them lowered their voices side by side and said, "Shizi......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Qi Cheng, "Don't worry, I won't disrupt your plan." ”

Sure enough, after a while, he went over and knocked on the wall of Li's carriage and said, "Mother, Yan'er and Qing'er are quarreling again, you go over and take a look." ”

After hearing this, Princess An was quite embarrassed and said to the Li family: "The two sisters and brothers often quarrel, so you can see and laugh, I'll go over and take a look." ”

The carriage stopped, and Princess An went to Ji Yunyun's carriage behind, and Huo Xiuxiu's heart was put down.

"Why is Miss Wang so nervous?" Seeing that she had been clutching her sleeves, even with a mask, she couldn't hide her nervous look, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's the first time that a folk girl is riding in the same car with the princess, so I'm nervous." Huo Xiuxiu found an excuse to prevaricate.

"Don't be afraid, Princess An is a very kind person, so there is no need to be nervous." Li Shi didn't doubt it, smiled and patted her hand, and said softly.

Huo Xiuxiu sorted out her expression and smiled at her, slightly opened the curtain of the window and looked outside, planning that the place where the mountain bandits would appear was just ahead.

In the carriage behind, Princess An was a little surprised when she went up, her daughter and youngest son were playing chess with Ji Yunyun, and the other was holding her chin and watching quietly on the side, where did she look like she was quarrelling?

She looked at the two children and asked aloud, "Cheng'er said you quarreled?" ”

Qi Yan and Qi Qing glanced at each other suspiciously and shook their heads.

Princess An frowned, and was about to pick up the curtain to call Qi Cheng to ask, Ji Yunyun understood, coughed lightly, and interrupted her, "Princess, do you still like Nuan Yu?" ”

"I like it, I like it so much, I don't feel cold outside with it." Princess An was really interrupted, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, I will be much better in the winter in the future." ”

Ji Yunyun also bent his eyes and smiled: "It's good to be useful to the princess." ”

Princess An was about to say something with a smile, when the carriage suddenly stopped, and a rough and hoarse voice sounded outside.

"Don't move, take out all the valuable things!" Outside the carriage, a group of black-clad masked men surrounded them, and a burly man rode on a horse, carrying a large knife on his shoulder, and shouted angrily.

Here it comes. Qi Cheng glanced at the man in black, pulled the horse back two steps, and motioned to the guards of King An's Mansion to retreat to the carriage behind.

Ruan Ze rode out of the crowd on horseback, looked at this group of mountain bandits who had been hired by him, and reprimanded loudly with a straight face: "Bold! Do you know who we are? Dare to stop our carriage is impatient?! ”

"At first glance, you are rich, and you are the ones who stop you! If we don't take the initiative to take it out, then we have to grab it ourselves! The burly man at the head snorted gloomily, and with a wave of his big knife, the black-clothed people around him swarmed up.

Ruan Ze was stunned, how is this different from what he explained? Obviously, he should have said a few more words, and he would do it when Huo Xiuxiu was ready in the carriage, why did he do it so quickly?

The black-clothed people who rushed up all had a cruel murderous aura in their eyes, not at all like acting, Qi Cheng's pupils shrank suddenly, something was wrong!

The man in black who came over first had already exchanged hands with the guards of Chongenbo Mansion, and with a sword down, the guard's calf was cut a large wound, and blood gushed out.

Ruan Ze only then realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "There are mountain bandits!" Protect the ladies and girls! ”

Ji Yunyun originally knew in the carriage that they were surrounded by mountain bandits and didn't take it seriously, and wanted to pick up the curtain to secretly see how Ruan Ze and Huo Xiuxiu acted, who would have thought that the sound of swords outside was becoming more and more intense, and the muffled snorts and screams of swords entering the flesh also came and went, she couldn't help but be a little frightened, this scene is too realistic, right?

"Mother Concubine......" Qi Yan and Qi Qing were already frightened and hid in Princess An's arms, Princess An's face was also a little pale, and she hugged the two children and forcibly comforted her: "With your brother outside, it's okay." ”

Ji Yunyun had doubts in her heart, and she couldn't help but want to pick up the curtain to take a look, she carefully opened the curtain of the car, and just saw that there was chaos outside, a man in black was passed through his chest by Qi Cheng with a sword, she didn't have time to exclaim, Qi Cheng saw her in a blink of an eye, turned around to block the carriage, and said with a tense face: "Go back." Then he reached out and pulled down the curtains.

"Miss Ji, what's going on outside?" Princess An asked with a pale face when she saw her movements.

Hiding the shock in her heart, Ji Yunyun smiled at her with a calm face, "Don't worry, princess, there is a prince outside." ”

Chongenbo Mansion and Anwang Mansion, there were not too many guards on both sides of this trip, and the total was less than ten, but the black-clothed people who came only roughly estimated that there were twenty or thirty people. Qi Cheng and Feng Ji led the guards of the An Wangfu to firmly guard the carriage behind, the carriage of the Li family in front was a little precarious, Ruan Ze's martial arts were sparse, and because he didn't react at first, the man in black had a chance, and after folding the two guards, the man in black approached the carriage and lifted the curtain.

Huo Xiuxiu felt that something was wrong when Ruan Ze shouted loudly, she guarded in front of the panicked Li family, and saw that the curtain of the car was suddenly opened, and hurriedly escorted the Li family to retreat to the corner of the carriage.

The man in black saw the precious jade pendant on Li's head and wrist at a glance, his eyes showed a greedy essence, and he reached out to Li when he got into the carriage.

Li screamed in fright, Huo Xiuxiu's face was extremely pale, and with trembling hands, he pulled out the hairpin under his hair and stabbed at the man in black.
