Hu Rui had no intention of chatting with him. This place was closest to the south gate. Hu Rui looked at the carriage going to the south gate and then at the carriage going east. He only felt that the carriage going south was bumping and shaking more.
, so he decisively chased eastward.
When Xu Chaoyang saw Hu Rui chasing eastward, he secretly thought something bad and hurriedly stepped up to follow him.
Hu Rui took two shortcuts on the roof and chased the carriage across a street. He raised his hand and threw two throwing knives at the coachman. The first one was dodged by the coachman, and the second one stabbed into the coachman's neck.
The driver fell down. Hu Rui jumped from the roof to the car, lifted the curtain, and felt relieved when he saw Ning Wei struggling in the bag.
Ning Wei cut off the rope at the mouth of the bag with a sword, and while sitting in the coachman's seat to drive the coach, she said: "Miss, come out by yourself, and I'll drive the coach."
Ning Wei came out of the bag and asked, "Where are we?"
Hu Rui replied while driving the car: "Chengnan, sit down, Miss. Someone is catching up."
Before he finished speaking, Hu Rui had already reined in his horse and turned to the street, heading north.
As soon as Ning Wei sat up straight, she was thrown down again, so she simply lay down and kicked the bag off.
When Hu Rui saw Xu Xuyang catching up, he threw two flying knives at him with his backhand.
Being avoided by Xu Xuyang, the soft sword stabbed at Hu Rui, and Hu Rui dodged several moves.
Hu Rui said while driving the car: "Miss, sit down."
Ning Wei sat in the corner of the carriage, holding the edge of the couch tightly with both hands, "I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me."
Xu Yang smiled coldly, put one hand on the shaft of the car, and stabbed Hu Rui's vital part on the left chest with his sword.
Hu Rui immediately leaned back to avoid Xu Chaoyang's sword. Unexpectedly, Xu Chaoyang struck back with another sword, but Hu Rui couldn't avoid it and was hit by Xu Chaoyang's sword on his right arm.
However, Xu Chaoyang did not get any benefit. When he shot his sword, Hu Rui's flying knife had already been thrown from his left hand. Xu Chaoyang's left hand was hit by the knife, and his hand went limp, causing him to fall off the car.
Hu Rui whipped the horse hard with the reins. The horse was in pain and ran forward desperately.
Xu Chaoyang was chasing after him.
It wasn't until Shi Jingyang came over with Qingshan Qingping and his entourage that Xu Chaoyang turned around and ran away when he saw the reinforcements arriving.
Hu Rui stopped the carriage and bowed to Shi Jingyang, "Your Majesty."
Shi Jingyang looked at the direction Xu Chaoyang was escaping and said to Qingping: "Chase!"
Qingping led people to chase him.
Shi Jingyang took a step forward, opened the curtain, and asked, "How are you? Are you hurt?"
Ning Wei listened to the sound of swords outside the window and suddenly heard a man's voice. She thought it was a bad guy coming forward. She was so frightened that she huddled in the corner with her head in her hands and stammered: "You, don't come here."
Seeing Ning Wei's fearful look, Shi Jingyang put down the curtain and said to Hu Rui, "Go and take a look."
Hu Rui took a step forward and said warmly, "Miss, don't be afraid. The prince is here and we are safe. Can I help the lady check to see if she is injured?"
Ning Wei's mind finally became clear, "Thank you, sir, I'm not hurt."
Shi Jingyang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ning Wei was not injured. He turned to Qingshan and said, "Come and catch the car. Go to the car to rest and briefly treat the wound first."
Qingshan sat in the driver's seat, Shi Jingyang sat on the side. Hu Rui got into the carriage.
Shi Jingyang said to Qingshan: "Hurry up and get back to Baoping Lane before dawn."
Qingshan bowed and responded, "Yes, I understand."
In the carriage, Ning Wei learned that Hu Rui was injured and felt extremely guilty.
Seeing Hu Rui come in, he bowed to Hu Rui and said, "Thank you sir."
Facing Ning Wei's gratitude, Hu Rui felt ashamed. She was assigned by the prince to be with Ning Wei, but the gangsters kidnapped Ning Wei under her nose.
Fortunately, there was no danger, otherwise, she would have to bear the blame.
Hu Rui said: "I'm sorry for frightening the lady. Is the lady injured?"
Ning Wei said: "I'm fine. How should I deal with my husband's injury? What can I do?"
Hu Rui looked down at the wound on his arm and said, "It's okay. I'll just hold down the wound and try to minimize the bleeding. I'll go back home later and deal with it later."
"Wow!" Qingshan pulled off a piece of cloth, threw it into Xiangcheng with his backhand, and said: "Miss Ning, use the cloth to bandage Mr.'s injury."
"Okay!" Ning Wei picked up the cloth and stood up to help Hu Rui bandage his wound.
After bandaging Hu Rui's wound, Ning Wei sat upright. When she twisted her neck, she felt a dull pain in her neck.
Ning Wei raised her hand and touched the back of her neck, trying to twist her neck. The pain immediately spread throughout her body, making Ning Wei freeze and dare not move.
Hu Rui noticed Ning Wei's discomfort and reached out to touch it. The skin he touched felt a little hot and said, "There is some redness and swelling here. Apply some medicine when you get home."
Ning Wei nodded. "Okay."
Hu Rui asked: "Were you awake when the bad guys entered the house?"
Ning Wei nodded and briefly told what happened.
After hearing this, Shi Jingyang asked: "When you fight against the opponent, can you tell where the opponent is coming from?"
This question was asked to Hu Rui.
Hu Rui said: "Although the opponent's face is covered, judging from the swordsmanship, it should be Lingnan Shuangyang, and the one fighting against me is Xu Chaoyang."
Shi Jingyang told Qingshan: "Go and check later to find out when these two people entered Beijing and who ordered them?"
Qingshan responded: "Yes, I understand."
The streets were clear in the early morning, but within a quarter of an hour, Qingshan drove the car to a corner on the east side of Xu Mansion.
Ning Wei got out of the car, and Hu Rui wanted to take Ning Wei into the house.
Shi Jingyang took a step forward, hugged Ning Wei and said, "You are injured. I will take Miss Ning in."
Hu Rui leaned forward and took a step back.
Before Ning Wei could react, she had already entered a warm embrace.
Ning Wei raised her head and looked at Shi Jingyang in shock. Shi Jingyang was looking down at her and said, "Hold me tight."
The warm breath spread on Ning Wei's face, causing Ning Wei to panic for a while, her brain was as muddy as a blur, and she was so slow to react that she didn't know what to do.
Seeing Ning Wei looking at him stupidly, Shi Jingyang stretched out his hand to lift her hand and put it on his waist, then put his arm around her waist. With a little luck, he jumped over the wall with Ning Wei in his arms and entered Yifeng Garden.
Ning Wei only felt her waist tighten, and her body was closer to Shi Jingyang. Even if they were husband and wife in the previous life, they had never been so close to each other.
Ning Wei only felt that her face was burning and hot.
Subconsciously, Ning Wei wanted to stay away from Shi Jingyang.
However, before she could move, her feet were already in the air, and her body had no support.
"Ah!" Ning Wei, who lost her center of gravity, exclaimed, her head couldn't help but burrow into Shi Jingyang's arms, and her hands tightly hugged Shi Jingyang's waist.
Shi Jingyang hugged Ning Wei tightly and said warmly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
When a simple sentence fell into Ning Wei's ears, it was like a huge stone falling into a deep pool, causing waves in her heart, and a complicated emotion rushed up in her heart.
Ning Wei raised her head and looked at Shi Jingyang.
Ning Wei's subconscious hugging action made Shi Jingyang's heart tense. An Wei's words blurted out and he subconsciously lowered his head to look at Ning Wei.
Looking at each other, Shi Jingyang saw shock, sadness, unwillingness and grievance in Ning Wei's eyes. Yes, more grievances.
Seeing the tears in Ning Wei's eyes, Shi Jingyang's heart felt as if it had been scalded by boiling water. He couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks.
He said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's all over."
"Miss……"
Zaohua woke up faintly, stretched out her hand to touch her sore neck, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly got up and walked to the back room. She didn't see Ning Wei in the room, so she went out to look for her in panic.
When he saw Ning Wei in the courtyard, he blurted out.
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Zaohua realized that something was wrong. Why was her young lady hugging Shi Shizi?
When Hu Rui saw the young lady and the prince embracing each other, he stepped back knowingly, not expecting that Zaohua would appear at this moment.
Hu Rui stepped forward and pulled Zaohua away. He whispered: "Follow me."
Zaohua stepped back and looked at Ning Wei and Shi Jingyang, and said softly: "Sir, Miss, she..."
Hu Rui said: "Miss, it's okay, let's go."
Zaohua turned around and followed Hu Rui away, "Okay!"
When Ning Wei heard Zaohua's voice, her consciousness immediately became clear. She stood up straight with a red face, raised her hand to wipe her face, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just lost my temper. Today, thank you, Prince."
After saying that, Ning Wei went to Shi Jing and blessed his body.
Shi Jingyang looked at the panicked Ning Wei, pursed his lips, and said, "Let's go inside first."
Ning Wei looked down at her clothes and felt even more embarrassed. She turned around and walked back to the house with a blushing face.
Shi Jingyang looked at Ning Wei who was escaping and then slowly followed him into the house.
Ning Wei went straight to the inner room, closed the door after entering the room, leaned her back against the door, and covered her chest with her hands, as if to suppress her racing heart.
After a long time, until daybreak, Ning Wei calmed down her emotions, walked over to open the closet, took out some clothes and put on some clothes.
After coming out of the inner room, Ning Wei returned to her ancient well-like appearance.
Seeing Shi Jingyang standing in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, she still panicked. She thought he had left, but she didn't expect that he was still there.
Shi Jingyang heard the noise behind him, turned around and saw Ning Wei standing at the door, nervously clenching the handkerchief in her hand.
"It's getting late, I should go back. Don't think too much about other things, I will take care of them. I didn't sleep well last night, so I need to have a good night's sleep after breakfast." Shi Jingyang said goodbye.
Was he waiting to say goodbye to her? Actually, he didn't have to.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that she didn't reply, Shi Jingyang asked.
Ning Wei shook her head and said, "It's nothing. Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please go slowly."
Shi Jingyang looked at Ning Wei and said, "There is no need to be so polite between you and me."
After hearing Shi Jingyang's words, Ning Wei's heart seemed to skip a beat. She raised her head and looked at Shi Jingyang. Don't they need to be polite to each other?
Shi Jingyang continued: "Yingzhe and I are brothers and sisters."
Ning Wei's racing heart calmed down, she lowered her eyes uncomfortably, and said again: "Thank you Shi Shi for saving me many times, thank you."
Shi Jingyang was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so he cupped his hands and said, "Take care, I'll say goodbye."
After saying that, Shi Jingyang turned around and walked out.
"Wait a minute." Ning Wei shouted before Shi Jingyang reached the door.
Shi Jingyang's feet paused, his heart filled with anticipation, and he turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ning Wei said: "Prince Shi, can you please not tell your brother what happened last night? My brother has to prepare for the exam. I don't want my brother to worry about these things and affect him."
Shi Jingyang felt a little disappointed. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell Yingzhe."
"Thank you very much! Prince Shi, please walk slowly." Ning Weifu said.
Shi Jingyang paused and walked away.
After leaving the door, Shi Jingyang saw Hu Rui under the verandah.
Shi Jingyang looked at Hu Rui's right arm and asked, "How is your injury? Is it important?"
Hu Rui shook his head, "Thank you for your concern, Sir. It's okay. I'll be fine in a few days."
Shi Jingyang nodded and said, "I will send Qiao Shi Qiaofei to assist you."
Hu Rui asked: "What about Qiao Yi and Qiao Er? Will they stay here?"
Shi Jingyang nodded and said: "Qiao Yi and Qiao Er continue to stay here. Qiao Yi and Qiao Er have to take care of the safety of Mr. Ning and Mrs. Qian.
Qiao Shi, Qiao Fei, like you, is only responsible for the safety of Miss Ning. I don’t want what happened last night to happen again."
Hu Rui bowed and said, "Yes, I understand."
Shi Jingyang said: "I will ask someone to investigate what happened last night. You can recover from your injuries and protect her. She is afraid that Mrs. Qian and Yingzhe will worry, and she doesn't want them to know what happened last night. You know what to do."
Hu Rui bowed and said, "I understand."
After Shi Jingyang finished explaining, he climbed over the wall and left Xu Mansion.
Only Zaohua and Hu Rui knew what happened last night. Ning Wei said to them, "Don't tell my grandmother and brother what happened last night to save them from worrying, okay?"
Zaohua said worriedly: "But..."
Hu Rui interrupted Zaohua, "Listen to Miss, don't give up. From now on, I will live outside."
Ning Wei hesitated and said, "No need!"
What happened last night left Zaohua with lingering fear, and she hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the safety of the young lady is very important. They say that they are not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case, sir, please come and live here."
With Mr. here, I will feel more at ease. Otherwise, I will always be worried."
Hu Rui said: "It's settled. Miss, wash up quickly, then go have breakfast with the old lady, and come back and take a nap after breakfast."
After Ning Wei washed up, she went to have breakfast with Mrs. Qian.
After breakfast, Mrs. Qian stayed with Ning Wei to talk, "Sister Wei, don't take what your father said yesterday to your heart."
That night, Mrs. Qian slept very uneasily and thought a lot while lying on the bed.
Ever since Mrs. Zhao gave Sister Wei the medicine, Sister Wei seemed to have changed. She was no longer as timid and cowardly as she was before.
Although Ning Wei didn't say much about what happened yesterday, Mrs. Qian could see from her disappointed eyes that she felt chilled.
Mrs. Qian longs for family harmony, but is most afraid of seeing her son and grandchildren at war with each other.
Ning Wei looked at Mrs. Qian, nodded slightly and said, "Grandma, don't worry, Wei'er understands."
Mrs. Qian continued: "Your father has a soft ear. He will listen to whatever Mrs. Zhao talks about. However, Sister Wei, don't worry, my grandma will protect you as long as she lives."
Ning Wei thanked her: "Thank you so much, grandma."
Seeing Ning Wei's obedient response, Mrs. Qian couldn't say any words of comfort anymore, so she said, "Go and do your work, I'll go and recite the sutra."
Ning Wei stood up and said goodbye to Mrs. Qian, turned around and left Wutong Garden, heading towards Yifeng Garden.
