Ji Yunshu said, "Jing Xuan …"
"Anyway, I'm satisfied to see you again today."
Tears fell from her eyes.
She always thought she was grateful to Ji Yunshu.
She never expected to see her again in Huyi.
Her heart was full of emotions.
"Jing Xuan, I know you don't want to implicate us or the Great Lin, so I didn't ask Jing Rong to take you away that day. But Jing Rong said he would think of a perfect plan to take you away from here. You don't have to worry about anything else." Jing Xuan shook her head, "Actually, I've accepted my fate since the day I got married here. I know how I should spend the rest of my life. What I'm most afraid of is implicating you. I don't want you to risk your lives for me. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease even if I leave this place. "
"Yes."
Jing Rong immediately grabbed her arm and said seriously, "Don't worry, I'll find a suitable opportunity. When it comes, I'll take you away from here immediately! Xuan 'er, you call me Imperial Brother. I can't watch you suffer here! Besides, I'm your only family in this world.
”
"Imperial Brother …"
"Listen to me. When that day comes, you must leave with me."
Jing Xuan's eyes reddened and she bit her lips.
She nodded heavily.
Jing Rong reached out and gently caressed her head.
He wiped away her tears.
Jing Xuan suddenly remembered something and looked up at him, "Oh right, Imperial Brother, there was an assassin in the mansion and the Third Prince was injured. Is it …"
"Yes, I did it."
"What if …"
"It's fine. At the banquet tonight, the Prince didn't notice anything."
"That's good!" Jing Xuan relaxed and looked outside. It was getting late, so she said reluctantly, "I can't stay here any longer. Otherwise, the maids will be suspicious. Imperial Brother, Yunshu, you two should leave quickly."
Ji Yunshu said, "Jing Xuan, you must be careful."
"I know."
"When we're done, we'll come to pick you up."
"Alright, hurry up and leave!" Jing Xuan took a step back.
Unexpectedly! Her back bumped into a bookshelf.
This caused a book placed on top of it to fall.
"Dong!"
It smashed into the ground.
Coincidentally, a group of guards who were passing by heard it.
The leader of the guards held a torch and pointed it in the direction of the library.
He was instantly on guard!
Then he made a gesture, and the guards around him immediately surrounded the library that did not have any light.
"Who's inside?"
Ugh!
The guard's voice was very loud!
It immediately attracted the attention of the patrolling guards.
In the blink of an eye, a dozen or so guards rushed over and surrounded the library from the inside out.
Jing Rong and the other two watched as the torches slowly approached.
Jing Xuan clenched her fists and asked worriedly, "What should I do?"
Hurry!
Jing Rong calmly walked to the door and saw that they were surrounded. Even the back window was lit up by torches.
Now, it was like being trapped in a cage.
Unable to escape even if he had wings!
"We can't let the Third Prince know that we're here to see Jing Xuan, or else she'll be in big trouble."
If they were discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Jing Xuan was bound to suffer.
Perhaps his life would be in danger.
Jing Xuan said, "We can't let them know that you're here."
Jing Rong peeked through the crack of the door and saw the guards getting closer.
He calmly pondered for a moment and immediately tore off a piece of cloth from his body.
He decided to cover his face and go out.
"Imperial Brother, what are you doing?"
"I'll go out and distract them. You guys think of a way to leave this place."
"You'll be recognized even if you do this!"
"I can't let anything happen to you."
Jing Xuan decided to stake everything on one throw. "No, I can't let anything happen to you! I'll go out and distract them. I'll tell them that there's no one inside. "
Jing Rong immediately stopped her. "Those guards are very shrewd. They won't believe that there's no one inside. They'll definitely come in and search carefully."
"No matter what, I'm still the princess. If I don't let them come in and search, they won't dare to come in. Imperial Brother, I can't let you be implicated because of me. Otherwise, even if I die, I won't be able to rest in peace."
She made up her mind!
After saying that, she pushed Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu to the side and opened the library's door.
When the door opened!
Red light shone in from outside.
It was a little dazzling!
Jing Xuan squinted her eyes and slowly adapted.
She walked out.
Outside, there were dozens of guards standing.
Several torches shone in the surroundings.
The leader of the guards recognized her. "Your Highness?"
They couldn't believe it!
The originally vigilant guards looked at each other in dismay.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
Jing Xuan calmly stood at the door and said, "I was a little bored, so I went in to look for a few books to read."
"Then, the movement inside just now was …"
"Just now, I was careless and knocked over the shelves inside. A few books fell. You don't need to be so nervous."
Her tone was very calm.
There was no trace of panic in her voice.
But …
The guard obviously didn't believe her. "Your Highness is inside. Why didn't you light the lamps?"
"I did light the lamps, but they were blown out by the wind!"
"There's no one else inside?"
"No."
The guard looked behind her. The library was very dark, so he couldn't see clearly. He took a step forward and said, "Your Highness, please let us through. We want to go in and search."
Jing Xuan frowned. "What? You don't believe me? "
"Of course not. It's just that an assassin entered the mansion and hasn't been caught yet. So, this subordinate wants to go in and search."
"If I say there's no need to search, then there's no need to search. Are you going to ignore my words?"
"Please forgive us, Your Highness. We are just taking precautions." The guard ignored her words and continued to move forward.
Who didn't know Jing Xuan's status in the mansion?
She couldn't even be compared to a maid.
So, these guards called her 'Your Highness' on the surface, but in their hearts, they didn't take her seriously!
Jing Xuan saw the guards approaching. She couldn't help but take a few steps back. Her eyes trembled. She took a deep breath and said, "All of you, stop! I said there's no one inside. No matter what, I am still Your Highness. Do you dare to disobey my words? "
Reprimand!
The guards were stunned!
Rather than being timid, it was better to say that they were surprised.
Originally, everyone thought that the Great Lin woman was a pushover. They didn't expect her to have such a side.
The leader immediately replied, "This subordinate doesn't dare."
They stopped moving forward!
A guard quietly approached the leader and asked, "What should we do?"
"Go and inform His Highness."
"Yes!"
The guard left.
Jing Xuan saw the situation and continued, "Since you don't dare, all of you can leave! I still want to go in and find a few more books. Don't disturb me. "
