Chapter 471

The carriage finally came to a stop.

Chen Ning knew that they had reached their destination. She had returned to the king's palace that was like a cage.

She took a deep breath and stood up. Since she had made a decision, she would not regret it.

The palace was not her safe haven and she could not stay in the palace forever. What she had to face and what she had to solve, she had to solve it sooner or later.

She just did not like fighting a battle she had no confidence in. Before she could think of a way to get rid of the identity of the Ding Yuan Princess, she did not want to face Chu Shao Yang.

But she had to save Xiao Ru from Chu Shao Yang's hands.

She raised the curtain and prepared to leave the carriage, but she was suddenly stunned.

The place where the carriage stopped was not in front of the King Ding Yuan Palace's gates, but rather in a remote back alley.

In the dim twilight, the alley was deep and dark, releasing a kind of dark and gloomy atmosphere.

"Who are you? Why did you bring the carriage here? "

Chen Ning's eyes fell onto the carriage driver. He was wearing the uniform of a royal guard and his back was facing her.

When the carriage driver heard this, he slowly turned around. The hat on his head was low, so she could not see his face.

He stood up and walked over to Chen Ning step by step.

For a moment, she thought that this guard was Mo Chuan in disguise.

But it wasn't!

He was shorter than Mo Chuan by a head and thinner than Mo Chuan. The hand holding the horse whip was black and rough.

"Stop!" She coldly reprimanded, but the carriage driver ignored her and continued to walk over.

She couldn't help backing up, backing up into the carriage. Her back hit the cold wall of the carriage and there was no way back.

At this moment, the King Ding Yuan Palace's gates were decorated with lanterns. There was a row of large red lanterns, looking from afar, it was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

Chu Shao Yang was wearing a duck blue brocade robe, making his figure look tall and slender. His face was like jade and his handsome face was filled with vigor.

There were quite a few commoners looking from afar, thinking that his highness was going to marry someone new. They couldn't help whispering to each other and discussing.

"Someone come, go see why the princess' carriage hasn't arrived yet!"

Chu Shao Yang looked in the direction of the street. He had already waited for an incense stick of time, but there was no sign of the carriage. The longer he waited, the more anxious he became.

"Yes, your highness." A black figure flew out like the wind, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

The smile on Chu Shao Yang's face slowly froze. He stared in the direction of the palace and a strange feeling of unease filled his heart.

Did she suddenly change her mind and didn't want to come back?

Did she suddenly change her mind and not want to come back?

Suddenly, his ears twitched as he heard the sound of hooves and wheels approaching from afar. His taut face relaxed and the smile on his lips grew wider.

A palace carriage appeared in his line of sight in the night.

It. it. She came!

Chu Shao Yang was filled with excitement as he walked down the steps with a smile. The carriage suddenly stopped and the one driving it was the hidden guard from before.

"Chu King" Ning "he said, he" Chu "," King "," Chu, "King".

"King" s "Ning" a "King". off. "Chu."

"What?"

Chu Shao Yang's expression changed and he jumped into the carriage without even thinking. He opened the curtain and saw that there wasn't a single person in the carriage.

Impossible!
