Chapter 187: Assassination

"Song Niangzi, what about the shop?" He Yujin suddenly thought of this stubble and hurriedly asked Song Qian.

Hearing this, Song Qian lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "I can only close the door first, and I can't trust other people's operations." And they also have their own things to do, and it is impossible to take care of the shop all the time. The most important thing is that I basically make desserts alone on weekdays, which will soon set off, and ordinary people are afraid that it will be difficult to learn in a short period of time. So let's close the door first, it won't delay for a few days anyway, right?"

It was not easy for her to take the shop to where she is now, and she must not give up her efforts and bury the shop for the sake of temporary interests.

After listening to her explanation, everyone else also understood and stopped asking about the shop.

Now that it has been arranged, what they have to do now is to go back and pack their things and prepare to leave early the next morning, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the Queen Mother to delay for too long.

At night, Song Qian packed up the clothes of the past few days in the room. Yuan Bao walked over and asked softly, "Mother, are we going to go for a long time?" Where is the Imperial Capital, far from home?"

"It won't take long, I guess it's only a few days. But it's hard to say, my mother doesn't know what the meaning is, so she can only go there and take a step at a time. Don't worry about ingots, when you get to the imperial capital, the prince will arrange everything. When the time comes, we will just listen to him." Song Qian put down the clothes in his hand and comforted Yuanbao and said.

Yuan Bao frowned, and asked with a serious expression, "How does my mother know that we can trust the prince and Ah Jin?" It is said that people in the royal family are unpredictable and can do anything for themselves. What if they betray us then? Can we still come back? Mother, can we not go, just stay in the town and not provoke them." Yuan Bao took Song Qian's arm and shook it constantly, pleading.

Song Qian listened to his words, and was a little surprised where he heard these words or knew these things, but she didn't ask for the first time, but said comfortingly: "Yuanbao, you think too much, after getting along for so long, don't you know what kind of people Wang Ye and Ah Jin are? Even if someone wants to harm us, my mother will protect the ingots. As for whether you can not go to this question, you have to remember that some things are absolute and cannot be changed. If my mother doesn't go, I'm afraid that the trouble will be a lot, and when the time comes, I will affect you, not to mention how much my mother will regret it. So no matter what, do you have to understand?"

She didn't want to go to the troubled waters of the imperial capital, but she couldn't help it, who let herself get into trouble? Even if you are reluctant, you can only accept your fate.

After all, ingots are still children, and it's normal to think of these.

However, then Yuan Bao did not cry ignorantly, but after hearing Song Qian's explanation, he chose to understand Song Qian, and comforted him in turn: "Remember my mother's words, don't worry, when I arrive in the imperial capital, I will be obedient, and I won't let my mother worry about me." And if there is danger, I will definitely be able to protect my mother."

Listening to Yuanbao's words, Song Qian's heart was very moved, so he touched his head lovingly, pointed to the mattress that had been made, and said, "It's not early, if Yuanbao is obedient, go and rest first." Otherwise, I will have to leave early tomorrow, and I will not be able to get up."

"What about my mother? Won't you rest with ingots?" Yuan Bao thought that Song Qian was leaving, so he hurriedly grabbed her hand.

Seeing his careful thinking, Song Qian explained, "My mother should pack her luggage first, so that she won't be too anxious and lost when she gets up tomorrow morning. Don't worry. When my mother has packed these things, I will go over and rest, so I will go obediently."

Yuan Bao had no choice but to nod, and then obediently returned to the bed under Song Qian's gaze, and lay down alone to prepare to rest.

Song Qian watched his actions with relief, and she also felt a little tired at this time, so the movement of folding clothes in her hands was much faster. In this way, after finishing the work early, you can go to rest by yourself.

The next day, early in the morning.

Song Qian woke up an hour earlier than usual, and took advantage of the fact that the others had not yet gotten up to prepare their rations on the road.

"Mrs. Song, this breakfast is too rich, and you are too powerful." On weekdays, I wake up very early

After arranging the prepared carriage outside the door, Changfeng came to the kitchen to help, and was very surprised when he saw the breakfast prepared by Song Qian.

Song Qian modestly replied, "What's the matter, it's just the usual breakfast. I've cooked your favorite lean porridge, go and serve it."

Changfeng smiled when he heard this, and went to the kitchen expectantly.

The others also woke up one after another, and after they were all cleaned up, the breakfast prepared by Song Qian was also brought up one after another.

"Let's eat, we'll have to leave when we're done," Song Qian reminded, and the others really quickened their movements, afraid that they would delay their departure because of themselves. That way, they won't be delayed.

After getting into the carriage as promised, they had just set off to the entrance of the alley, when the carriage stopped suddenly, and Song Qian and the others sitting inside were shocked and full of strangeness. He Yujin was curious and poked his head out first, and found that it was Ji Qirui's carriage blocking their way, and Changfeng was walking over to negotiate.

After he put his head back, although Song Qian and Ji Changye sat upright, they still couldn't hide their curiosity about what was happening outside, so they both looked at He Yujin, even if they didn't say a word, let He Yujin understand what was going on.

So under the two pairs of expectant eyes, He Yujin said, "Outside, the prince's carriage is blocking the way, it seems that he already knows our whereabouts, otherwise what are you doing here early in the morning?" It's really difficult, how can he be everywhere." He Yujin was very dissatisfied, he didn't expect that he would be ruined by someone who shouldn't have appeared when he got up in the morning.

Ji Changye was also a little helpless, but he still got out of the carriage in consideration of the etiquette, caught up with Ji Qirui who came up, and took the lead in speaking: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I really didn't expect to meet you here."

The other party replied with a fake smile: "This prince is passing by here on some business, and he happened to find your carriage, so he wants to come and see it."

Of course Ji Changye didn't believe these words, after all, yesterday's Li Zhonglai was too fanfare, he looked at himself and Song Qian all the time, how could he not know about this matter? So he's here now, most likely to find out their whereabouts and plans.

In short, I didn't have a good heart.

But they knew each other well, so Ji Changye didn't say it explicitly, and still replied with a calm look: "It just so happens that the weather is good these days, and the minister and Song Niangzi want to go out for a walk together, and the scenery and air are good this morning, so they will leave now." If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is interested, why don't you go?" He was just polite, after all, he knew that Ji Qirui would not really follow.

As Ji Changye thought, Ji Qirui responded politely: "This prince has other things, so I can only refuse the kindness of the prince, and we will go together next time we have the opportunity."

This made He Yujin, who was sitting in the carriage, relieved, and was very glad that Ji Qirui didn't really agree, otherwise how would they fulfill this lie?

After seeing Ji Qirui leave the alley and go away completely, Ji Changye returned to the carriage with confidence and let the coachman set off.

Song Qian asked worriedly, "Is it true that the prince won't follow?" Looks like he already knows our plans, if that's the case, how could he leave so easily?" I'm afraid he will follow them quietly.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Song, the prince has already arranged this matter, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any signs of them, someone will appear to stumble them as soon as possible, buy time for us, and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and them can't keep up with us, so that they won't be exposed." Changfeng came in from outside, and happened to hear Song Qian's words and explained.

Ji Changye didn't say a word, and acquiesced to Changfeng's words.

This made Song Qian feel at ease, so he no longer worried about this matter, but waited quietly for the carriage to drive towards the unknown imperial capital.

Seeing that it was about to fall night, Yuan Bao was already tired and fell asleep on Song Qian's lap, so Song Qian proposed to rest first and wait until he was rested before hurrying. Ji Changye agreed to Song Qian's proposal, so he asked the driver to park the car on the side of the road and continue to drive after three hours.

Song Qian took out the food prepared in advance and distributed it to everyone, and just as everyone was full of praise for this skill, the sound of fast horses running suddenly came from outside, and the shadow of torches was reflected on the curtain.

Ji Changye

Several people suddenly became vigilant, and Changfeng got up and walked out first, ready to check what was going on.

But when he went out, there was nothing, which couldn't help but make Changfeng strange, and he thought that he had mistaken and was about to go back, when a man in black suddenly fell from the sky, and the sword in his hand slashed straight at him.

He was able to have a strong martial arts and quick reaction to avoid the opponent's attack. At this time, his face was serious, knowing that they had been assassinated. So without saying a word, he called out the other secret guards and fought with the man in black.

Song Qian in the carriage was very worried when he heard the movement, and Ji Changye comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Changfeng can handle it. Let's stay here, lest we cause trouble for them."

Since Ji Changye said so, Song Qian could only temporarily let go of the worries in her heart, but when she sat down, the carriage board behind her was pierced, and a knife stabbed in.

Ji Changye hurriedly pulled Song Qian to his side, but fortunately, her clothes were only torn and she was not injured.

The man in black was quickly solved by Changfeng, looking at the figures all over the ground, Changfeng hurriedly got into the carriage and asked, "Lord Wang, Song Niangzi, Yuanbao, Lord Jin, you are not injured, are you?"

"We're fine, maybe we'll find out who they are?" Ji Changye said as he took off the cloak on his body and put it on Song Qian, covering the place where his clothes were torn.

Song Qian's words of thanks didn't have a chance to say, so he could only put them in his heart.

Changfeng shook his head in embarrassment: "I've already seen it just now, most of their faces are disfigured, and the scars on their faces are unrecognizable. And it's very clean, and there is nothing of value, so it's still difficult to investigate." Look at the book

"There's always a way to find out, so let's hurry before it happens again on the road. When we get to the Imperial Palace, we'll investigate again." That's all we can do for now.

"Yes, Lord." The wind sent down and asked the guards to clean the place, and then drove the carriage out of the place as if nothing had happened.

Song Qian was still a little frightened, so he didn't close his eyes almost all night, holding Yuanbao's hand and not knowing what he was looking at.

"Song Niangzi, take a rest."
