Ji Changye looked at the carriage in the distance, and said to the secret guard under his hand: "From now on, protect the Nine Emperor Princes in the dark until the Nine Emperor Princes return to the Imperial Capital safely. Otherwise, it is for you."

"Yes." The guard knelt down to accept the order, and immediately got up to chase the carriage.

Song Qian looked at the desolate scenery around him, and he couldn't help but worry and said, "I'm afraid the place where the Nine Emperor Princes are going will not be much better. It's enough to have enough food and clothing, but what if you get sick again and have nowhere to seek medical attention?"

This emperor is really ruthless, he really sent his own flesh and blood to this kind of place, the key is that Ji Qimu didn't do anything, just relying on Ji Qirui's words. It seems that even blood is not worth mentioning in front of power and country.

"Don't worry, I'll find someone to help him in secret. Let's go back quickly, I'm afraid that Changfeng and Ah Jin can't resist it at this time." Ji Changye comforted Song Qian, and then persuaded her to get into the carriage and leave here.

Because it was a long journey, they had to look for an inn or a post house to stay at night, and they finally found it after a painstaking search.

Song Qian and Ji Changye walked in and felt that this inn was very weird, but they couldn't tell what was strange.

"Two upper-class rooms, and some more food to be delivered." Ji Changye put the money bag on the counter, and Xiao Er immediately greeted him with a smile and led the two of them to the second floor.

"Guest, please."

The shopkeeper's eyes looked at the two of them, showed a dry smile, and enthusiastically introduced them into the room.

"You go first, we can do it ourselves." Ji Changye said.

After the others retreated, Song Qian expressed his worries: "I always feel that this place is a little weird, or I think too much."

"I think so too, but this is the only inn within a few miles, so we'll spend the night first. Song Niangzi, don't worry, I will send someone to protect you, you can rest in peace. Let's go rest after dinner." Ji Changye put down the burden he was carrying, closed the door and answered Song Qian's words.

Song Qian nodded when he heard this, no matter what, they had already come in, and if they came, they would be safe.

Soon the shopkeeper sent six dishes and one soup, and wanted to mention them to pour wine, but was stopped by Song Qian: "We don't drink, you can take it."

"Eat well, then, officer." The shopkeeper looked at the two of them a little stunned, and after reacting, he hurriedly nodded and retreated.

Song Qian always felt that he had bad intentions, but there was no evidence.

But just when she was about to put the dish in her mouth, she found the clue, and then stopped Ji Changye and whispered, "There seems to be something wrong with this dish, and the taste is wrong." These dishes are all made by her usual Ji, even if everyone's craftsmanship is different, it shouldn't emit such an obvious smell, so there is a very likely problem.

Ji Changye believed that Song Qian hurriedly put down his chopsticks and asked, "Could it be that he wants to make money and kill himself?"

"Probably, but it doesn't rule out anything else. In short, these dishes are not to be touched. But then they'll know we've found out, so it's even more disadvantageous to us." Song Qian lowered his head and pondered, and quickly thought of an idea.

I saw that she poured out the money bag with silver taels, and set aside some of each dish in a mess.

"Song Niangzi, what are you doing here? Wouldn't it be a dirty bag to carry a money bag like this?" Ji asked puzzled all night.

The other person explained, "There are no plastic bags here, and you can't take their things, so you can only use this one. In this way, if there are fewer dishes, they can believe that we have eaten them, so that they can implement the next step and expose the flaws. And this can also preserve the evidence of their drugging, and when they go to the government or the side to report the crime, they will have nothing to quibble."

After Ji Changye understood, he hurriedly helped Song Qian.

Because these dishes couldn't be eaten, Song Qian took out the dry food flatbread he brought out from the palace, handed it to Ji Changye and said, "Lord, you eat this first, and when you return to the imperial capital, you can eat it raw."

"It's okay Song Niangzi, thank you Song Niangzi." After Ji Changye took it, let Song Qian and I go along.

After a while, the shopkeeper came to clean up these with a triumphant look

The "leftover" dishes, I didn't suspect anything, and thought that Song Qian and Ji Changye must have eaten a lot.

After returning to her room, Song Qian saw a figure outside the window, it was the secret guard sent by Ji Changye to protect her safety, so Song Qian was not frightened, but felt much more relieved.

Because of the road, Song Qian was already exhausted, and he fell asleep in a moment while lying on the bed.

In the middle of the night, Song Qian faintly heard a noise outside.

The shopkeeper cautiously came to the outside of the room of the two of them, and instructed them, "These two people are from a big family at first glance, and there must be a lot of gold, silver, treasure, and silver in this area. They've already eaten the dish I fried with sweat medicine, and they won't wake up at this time. But you have to move faster, don't kill people and wake people up, understand?"

After seeing Ji Changye's generous request for two first-class rooms and that table of meals, the shopkeeper knew that he could make a lot of money tonight, and his heart was already happy, and he was busy directing his subordinates to enter the room.

At the same time, Song Qian had completely sobered up. However, after hearing the sound of the door being pushed open from the outside, she did not dare to act rashly and continued to pretend to be asleep, without being noticed by them.

The shopkeeper saw that Song Qian was sleeping so deeply, so he hurriedly came to the bed and took down the burden she put here.

Tonight seems to be a good time for him to make a fortune.

"I'll keep it for you first." The shopkeeper held the silver two full of burdens, and couldn't wait to turn around and leave, but he didn't want to be blocked by Ji Changye.

At this time, the shopkeeper looked at him in disbelief, and just as he wanted to scream, he was knocked out by a punch from the secret guard.

Hearing the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Song Qian dared to open his eyes and get up.

looked at the shopkeeper who fell to the ground and fainted, it was exactly the same as he guessed, and it was really a robbery.

Fortunately, he was the only one in her room. At this time, Song Qian was worried about Ji Changye next door, because she had heard more than two voices just now, so there were at least two people in Ji Changye's room, which was very dangerous.

"You watch him here, I'll go next door and see." Song Qian walked to the door very worriedly, but he didn't expect to see the two shopkeepers who were tied up with flowers as soon as he opened the door, and their faces were bruised.

Standing behind them was Ji Changye and another secret guard.

The two accomplices were pushed into Song Qian's room, and the door was closed by Ji Changye because he was afraid that he would be heard and discovered by the other guests.

Fortunately, the secret guard didn't use a lot of strength just now, so the shop Xiaoer woke up quickly, and he was also tied up by Wuhua and squatted in front of Song Qian and the other two.

"Be quiet, don't alarm the other guests." Ji Changye's threatening words made the three of them nod in a panic, and then they were taken off the cloth head that gagged their mouths.

After he could speak, the shopkeeper hurriedly pleaded: "Uncle, just spare us, we promise it won't happen again."

But Song Qian and Ji Changye refused to relent, after all, the words of people like them were difficult to convince, maybe they were just nonsense made up when they wanted to escape.

"It's not just us who have been stolen, do you know what will happen if this matter is exposed?" Song Qian looked at the three of them who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and said helplessly, thinking that since they were afraid of being like this, they were really greedy.

The shopkeeper replied, "At first, I didn't dare, but after many times, I dared. We can guarantee that we have only stolen valuable things for so long, and have not harmed or hurt anyone," he also wanted to use this stubble to justify himself, but unfortunately Ji Changye and Song Qian did not eat this set alone.

"What about the guests you stealed? Didn't the bones doubt you?" Song Qian asked again.

"Some of them were suspicious, but the journey here is bumpy, desolate, and it's normal for something to fall somewhere, so in the end, we didn't suspect it." The more the shopkeeper talked, the more he had no confidence, perhaps because he also realized how shameful he was doing.

Song Qian didn't expect him to be faintly proud of his points

He said, "It's not right to steal. You know that you still want to do it, it's just a god's way. What should I do? King...... Ji Gongzi?"

Fortunately, she stopped in time. Song Qian breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ji Changye.

"Tomorrow morning, they will be sent to the government, and they cannot be allowed to stay and do evil. So I locked them up in my room, and the three of us took turns watching them, so that we didn't worry that they would slip away."

Ji Changye got up and said to Song Qian, "Then Song Niangzi should rest early, and she will have to hurry early tomorrow morning."

He then escorted them back to his room with two secret guards.

The shopkeeper also wanted to plead with Song Qian, but was knocked out again by the secret guard.

Now Song Qian finally fell asleep with peace of mind.

Early the next morning, Ji Changye really took three people to ride in the carriage together, but outside the carriage with the secret guard who was driving the carriage.

"Nothing will happen along the way, will it?" Song Qian looked at the three of them, very afraid of what they would use to retaliate.

Ji Changye comforted, "Don't worry, they don't dare."

Song Qian was a little less worried.

It was another day's journey from the imperial capital, but fortunately they would pass through the town on the way, so they left the two or three people in the official mansion here.

After doing all this, they continued on their way.

Two more days passed, the palace.

No one has come to look for me these days, so I am very idle with myself and Changfeng.

"What do you say happened to Song Niangzi and Big Brother Ji? When will I be back?" Although he lived a very leisurely life and had no trouble, Ji Changye and Song Qian were not there, and he was always at ease.

Changfeng also chimed in, "That's it, when will the prince and princess come back? I knew I would have followed, so I didn't have to worry so much."

At this moment, the guards in the backyard came to report, "The prince and the princess have returned."

Hearing this, He Yujin, Changfeng and Yuan Bao smiled happily, and couldn't wait to run to the backyard, but suddenly thought that this would be too chaotic and easy to alarm people who shouldn't be alarmed, so they chose to stay and wait.

After a while, Song Qian and the two walked over.

Yuan Bao immediately rushed over and hugged Song Qiandao, "Mother, you're finally back!" Yuan Bao misses you so much!"

"My mother misses you very much, and my mother will make you something to eat at night, okay?" Song Qian touched Yuanbao's head affectionately, put the tiredness behind, and asked with a smile.

But Yuan Bao shook his head: "My mother has worked the road, so let's have a good rest." Yuan Bao is already very happy to see his mother."

Listening to his words, Song Qian was very moved.

Ji Changye also echoed: "This sentence is tiring, Song Niangzi doesn't care about these things, just go and rest in peace."
