To pitch camp in the woods
Princess?
Haha.
It was ridiculous.
"Princess?" Jing Yi smiled disdainfully at her, "Even if you are a wangfei, you cannot harm ben wang's little heir."
"I didn't. That woman was lying. Your Highness, believe me."
"You are not worthy of this king's trust."
"But you can't ignore my eldest brother and second brother. They hold the military power in their hands. If something happens to me, they will definitely come to you."
Threats?
As soon as she finished speaking, Jing Yi fiercely pinched her cheeks. "Listen carefully. If you dare to spout nonsense again, this prince will cut off your tongue so that you won't be able to speak for the rest of your life."
"Ugh … Let me go …"
Jing Rong moved closer to her ear and whispered, "An unclean woman like you is not fit to give birth to this prince's little heir. This prince will never give you this chance."
After saying that, he shook her off.
Ji Muqing's eyes stared blankly at him. The vicious aura she had exuded earlier was completely gone.
She was no longer a pure person. Her body was filthy.
Jing Yi was such an arrogant person, he really didn't like her.
It was as if he had been sentenced to death and no longer had the desire to live.
Then, he allowed himself to be taken away and thrown into the woodshed.
She had never been to a place like this in her entire life, much less been locked up here.
The stench inside was overwhelming!
And it was very humid.
As soon as she was locked in, she felt itchy all over. She kept scratching with her hands, and her body and face were covered with scratch marks.
She didn't dare to go inside and could only stand with her back against the door.
He thought to himself, How did I end up in such a state?
As she thought about it, she slowly slid down and sat on the ground, hugging her knees.
She was the Ji Mansion's first wife's daughter. From birth, she was raised to be the Crown Prince's consort. However, her family only raised her to be pampered, arrogant, and self-righteous. They didn't teach her how to scheme and protect herself within the imperial family.
She hated him!
Within the Imperial City, there were schemes and conspiracies everywhere. Little did they know that an even greater conspiracy for power was quietly approaching.
Jing Rong's caravan sped up, not daring to waste any more time.
But —
Suddenly, the carriage stopped.
What's wrong?
Jing Rong lifted the curtain and looked outside. He saw a man on horseback blocking the entire procession.
Lang Po and his men blocked the way.
The person got off his horse and asked, "Excuse me, are you a member of the Jing family from Yufu?"
The Jing Clan from Yufu?
Lang Po thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes!"
The man took out a letter and handed it over, saying, "A young lady asked me to deliver this to you."
Young lady?
Lang Po quickly dismounted from his horse and took the letter. "Who is this young lady?"
"She didn't say anything. She only wanted me to take the letter and leave the capital immediately. If I saw any carriages or people with swords on the road, I was to ask if they were people from Jinjiang who came to the capital from Yufu. If they were, I was to hand the letter to them. I don't know anything else. I've already handed the letter to you. My mission is complete."
Get on the horse and leave!
Lang Po held the letter in bewilderment. He turned around and walked to Jing Rong's carriage. "Your Highness, someone brought a letter just now."
Jing Rong took the letter and opened it.
The letter was brief, informing him that Ji Li's men were stationed outside the city to prevent him from returning to the capital.
"Who could have sent this letter?" he wondered.
Ji Yunshu looked at it and was shocked. "This is my second sister's handwriting."
Ji Wanxin sent it!
Jing Rong was puzzled.
"How did she know that Ji Li was stationed outside the city?"
"She probably … found out something."
Ji Wanxin was the best at eavesdropping!
Jing Rong said, "It seems that Prince Yi is really prepared. He sent people to kill us but failed, so he instigated War Secretary Ji to work for him."
"I know better than anyone what kind of person my brother is. He will do anything to achieve his goals, and is even more ruthless than Prince Yi. Prince Yi married my eldest sister, so my brother should be on his side and help him. This time, he will definitely try his best to prevent you from returning to the capital. Unless His Majesty announces that secret edict, you won't be able to step foot into the capital." She was worried and apprehensive. "What I'm most worried about is that he won't let Wei Yi off just to prevent you from returning to the capital."
She was deeply worried.
But Jing Rong didn't seem worried at all.
Ji Yunshu asked, "What do you think?"
Jing Rong said, "Yunshu, when we left Yufu, Lord Qiao's warning was not without reason. Since this prince wants to return to the capital, how could this prince not think of what Lord Qiao can think of? Returning to the capital would mean stepping on the path of a faction war. This prince will not rashly return to the capital without preparation. "
"What do you mean?"
"Before the second urgent summons arrived from the capital to Yufu, this prince had already planned and sent someone to Yi City in the northwest. I believe that the news should have arrived by now."
"Northwest? “
Jing Rong nodded.
He didn't continue, and Ji Yunshu didn't ask any more questions.
What was this man plotting?
Seeing that it was getting dark, Jing Rong ordered them to set up camp.
Although it was close to the official road, it was still in the forest. Once night fell, wolf howls could be heard from the surroundings. Jing Rong ordered his men to light a few torches and set them up in the surroundings.
The rest of the people sat around the fire.
Tang Si said, "Look at you guys. Aren't you just a few wolves? I used to see them in the mountains. Actually, wolves are very docile, and they have a noble bloodline. As long as you don't provoke them, they won't attack people. "
Someone said, "Miss Tang, we have followed His Highness through fire and water. What haven't we seen? Why would we be afraid of a few wolves?"
"That's right. If it weren't for you and Teacher Ji, we wouldn't have the time to stand guard. We would have gone straight to sleep."
"What do you mean? Are you saying that Ah Ji and I are weaker than you? "Tang Si questioned unhappily.
The guards looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
Tang Si wasn't willing to give up. "Speak clearly. This lady's martial arts aren't inferior to yours. The whip in my hand can kill someone with a single swing. It's much sharper than your swords."
"Yes, yes, yes. Miss Tang is the best. If it weren't for you, our Great Young Master Mo would have lost his life."
Everyone laughed, knowing that there was something fishy going on.
Tang Si raised her chin proudly. "Of course. If it weren't for me, he would have died a long time ago." She elbowed Mo Ruo, who was sitting beside her.
Mo Ruo glanced at her and helplessly moved to the side a fist's length away. He didn't say anything.
Thus, someone started to tease.
