?
The woman probably didn't expect that someone could control her sword with only two fingers. She tried hard to pull back her sword, but the other party's fingers moved slightly and her sword was broken.
What a deep internal force! The woman was shocked and hurriedly retreated with the broken sword. The drowning and unconscious girl suddenly jumped from the ground and tried to grab Mo Rongyi with her bare hands.
Mo Rongyi had already been protected by guards. The girl could not get close to Mo Rongyi at all.
"Your Majesty, are you all right?" Tang Zhen appeared with the guards and glanced at Ye Zhen in Mo Rongzhan's arms.
"Take them down!" Mo Rongzhan's cold and low voice revealed a strong majesty. Several imperial guards quickly surrounded the two men.
When the two men saw that they could not escape, they were about to commit suicide with the broken sword. Tang Zhen quickly stopped them and dislocated their jaws to prevent them from committing suicide by poison.
At this time, the people by the moat had been driven aside by the guards to check whether there was anything unusual one by one. The drowning girl turned out to be a thin middle-aged man in disguise. Tang Zhen let people take him away.
Ye Zhen gently pushed Mo Rongzhan's arms away and bowed her head. "This official's daughter greets the emperor."
Mo Rongzhan looked at her faintly. "How do you know that there is something wrong with that person?"
He saw her pull Ah Yi back. If she hadn't found out in time that there was something wrong with the two people, Ah Yi might have been in danger.
"The drowning girl … looks a little weird. Her hands and feet are not like a little girl's. And the mother, her hands are thick with calluses. The position between her thumb and index finger looks like she often holds a sword, so I worry that they are not really drowning." Since it was not a real drowning, then there must be a purpose. She naturally wanted to take Mo Rongyi away to avoid danger.
Mo Rongzhan looked at her again when he heard this. "Let's go."
Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment. Did he just let her go like this? She looked at his cold profile, and before he could look at her, she lowered her head and retreated.
The people by the moat knew that the emperor had come in person and all knelt down to salute.
Mo Rongzhan let them all rise and did not continue to stay here. He left with Mo Rongyi, leaving only Tang Zhen to carefully search for the remaining people.
"Yaoyao, are you alright?" Madam Pei held her daughter's hand and looked at her.
"I'm fine, Mother, don't worry." Ye Zhen comforted Pei Shi. After experiencing so much, she didn't feel frightened anymore.
Pei shi poked her. "You scared me to death just now. That sword almost stabbed you."
"I'm fine, aren't I?" Ye Zhen smiled.
Tang Zhen came over from the other side and looked at Ye Zhen with burning eyes. "Yao Yao, are you scared?"
Ye Zhen was still a little angry with Tang Zhen, but with Pei Shi and Lu Xiangzhi here, she still dealt with it. "It's okay."
"Marquis Jingning, who are those two people?" Pei Shi asked.
Seeing that Ye Zhen was still angry with him, Tang Zhen felt a little bitter in his heart. He smiled and answered Pei Shi, "Third Madam Lu, the identities of the two people are unknown. We need to go back and interrogate them."
Lu Xiangzhi smiled and said, "Big Brother Tang, your skills are really good."
Tang Zhen smiled faintly and looked at Ye Zhen unconsciously. "I'll let someone send you back first. I'm afraid it's not safe here."
"Then I'll have to trouble Marquis Jingning." Pei Shi said with a smile. She liked Tang Zhen very much. Although her daughter had no plans to marry him now, it did not prevent her from secretly looking at the young men in the capital.
She had already made a circle in her heart and felt that the best candidate was Tang Zhen. Although she was an orphan, her daughter would be the mistress of the house if she married him. She did not need to be angry with her mother-in-law. The whole house could be her own master. The most important thing was that Tang Zhen was a talented and handsome man, a perfect match for her daughter. There was no better candidate in the capital than him.
Ye Zhen frowned and said, "The assassins have been caught. What danger can there be here? Marquis Jingning is too alarmist. We can leave by ourselves, don't bother you."
"Yao Yao, let me send you back." Tang Zhen said, "You saved the little prince. There must be someone behind the scenes. I'm afraid it will be bad for you."
Ye Zhen still wanted to refuse but was stopped by Pei shi. "Marquis Jingning, you are right. Yao Yao can't go out these days."
"Mother!" Ye Zhen felt that things were not so serious.
"Let's wait for Marquis Jingning to interrogate them." Pei shi decisively decided to stop Ye Zhen.
Tang Zhen hurriedly said, "It's okay, auntie. If Yao Yao wants to go to the college, I can let someone send her."
"We also have guards at home. We don't need to bother you." Ye Zhen said expressionlessly.
Tang Zhen did not say anything more but called two guards to escort Pei shi and the others back to the Lu family.
As soon as he walked to the carriage, he saw Wang Shi coming over with Lu Jing.
"Second sister-in-law, you are here too." Pei shi's face did not look very good when she saw Wang Shi coming.
Wang Shi didn't seem to see Pei shi's face. She took her hand and asked, "Third sister-in-law, did you see the emperor just now? I looked from afar and felt that the emperor was really … handsome and dignified. "
Pei shi frowned and withdrew her hand. "Second sister-in-law, if you want to know what the emperor looks like, you can go to the palace next time and ask the imperial concubine."
Wang Shi snorted softly. If she hadn't been standing far away and didn't see the emperor, would she have come to ask Pei shi now?
"Is that Marquis Jingning?" Wang Shi glanced at the slender figure who was directing the guards to seal the road and couldn't help but ask Pei shi again.
Pei shi pretended not to hear and let Ye Zhen quickly get on the carriage.
"What are you so proud of?!" Wang Shi watched Pei shi's carriage leave and spat angrily.
"Mother, let's go home too." Lu Jing whispered.
Wang Shi glanced coldly at the concubine's daughter and said sarcastically, "Did you see that Yao Yao has the ability not only to let the emperor personally save her, but also to let Marquis Jingning care for her. They are both daughters of the Lu family. Jing 'er, are you going to be worse than Fang' er in the future?"
Lu Jing's face changed slightly. Her hands hidden in her sleeves clenched into fists. Of course, she was unwilling to lose to Lu Fang and Lu Yaoyao, but what could she do?
Why does Tang Zhen care so much about Yao Yao? Is he really … Lu Jing's heart was not reconciled. How did she lose to Lu Yaoyao?
She turned her head to look at Tang Zhen not far away, her eyes revealing a trace of affection.
"Let's go. What are you looking at? No matter how long you look, it will not be yours." Wang Shi shouted. She would only think about her daughter. As for the concubine's daughter, it was up to her own luck.
Lu Jing lowered her head and followed Wang Shi into the carriage. She must choose her future path by herself, and no one would stop her!
Absolutely!
