Xie Jingchen vaguely felt that the postmaster had been bribed by Concubine Yue and wanted to join forces to frame his little Zhizhi. He was about to rush in when he saw Uncle Xie and his men rushing over.
"Your Highness, you can't go in."
Uncle Xie Liu strode up to him and murmured in a low voice: "If Princess Pingning is really inside, wouldn't you have harmed her by entering so recklessly?"
Looking around, he didn't see Lin Jinxiao's figure. He had no other way to persuade Xie Jingchen. He could only try to stabilize him and wait until Lin Jinxiao arrived before making any plans.
Xie Jingchen hesitated and looked inside the post house. It was quiet everywhere and the atmosphere was strange and deep. Looking at Yi Cheng's malicious expression, he felt increasingly uneasy.
"I will go in no matter what today, Uncle Six, please don't try to persuade me."
Xie Jingchen was already in a state of confusion and couldn't listen to any advice at all. Now he just wanted to see little Zhizhi safe and sound.
At this moment, Han Yicheng finally understood that the reason why the princess wanted to deal with Prince Xie was probably to make him lose control and rush into the post house first.
"Please thank Prince Xie to think twice. Princess Pingning is indeed not in the post house."
Han Yicheng replied with firm eyes.
"You can't hide it from me. If Princess Pingning makes any mistake, I'll see how you explain it to Prince Pingning."
Xie Jingchen stared at him angrily and almost drew his sword at him.
"Prince Xie, where do you start with these words? How could something happen if the princess is so good?"
Han Yicheng had a bitter look on his face. Why is it so hard for people to believe the truth these days? He urged again: "The princess is indeed not in the post house."
Xie Jingchen was so angry that he pulled out a sword from the guard beside Uncle Xie Liu and pointed it at him: "If you don't let me in, I will kill you immediately."
"Your Highness."
Uncle Xie Liu was so frightened that his brows froze, and he held a handful of cold sweat and secretly said: "Isn't the emperor's nephew crazy? He dared to kill the Yi Cheng of the Dahe Empire for that woman."
He quickly grabbed the sword from his hand and said earnestly: "Your Highness, you must not forget the mission you have shouldered this time."
There was a stalemate in front of the door, when suddenly there were sounds of mighty footsteps coming one after another.
Several people heard the news and went to see Lin Jinxiao arriving with a large number of soldiers.
Han Yichen hurriedly came forward, looked at Xie Jingchen who was not far away and looked dull, and said with lingering fear: "Your Highness, you are finally here. This Prince Xie wants to break in without saying that the princess is in the post house."
Posthouse.”
"oh?"
Lin Jinxiao glanced at him sharply: "Prince Xie is so concerned about my princess. She has been staying at the house in recent days and has not gone out. Even I don't know that she has come to the inn. How can Prince Xie judge that?"
Is she in the inn?"
"I"
Xie Jingchen was suddenly speechless and glared at Uncle Xie beside him angrily, guessing that he must have asked someone to inform Lin Jinxiao about the post house.
But Xiao Zhizhi sent someone to convey the message to her, so she would definitely not break the promise. She must be in the post house at this moment.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked his cronies to go to the restaurant to deliver the message.
Uncle Xie completely messed up his plan and rashly lured Lin Jinxiao over. If Concubine Yue and King Nandu do something crazy and hurt little Zhizhi again, he will live with guilt for the rest of his life.
But it was not easy to question Uncle Six at this time. Looking at Lin Jinxiao with a solemn expression, Xie Jingchen asked in a deep voice: "I wonder what the purpose of King Pingning's visit is?"
"Three assassins ran away in the city a few days ago. We secretly arrested them for a few days and learned that the three assassins had escaped into Rongning Garden. His Highness was worried about endangering Concubine Yue's safety, so he personally led us to capture the assassins.
"
He Yingxiong stepped forward proudly and raised his hands to report.
Lin Jinxiao just smiled at Xie Jingchen without saying a word.
This made Xie Jingchen look very worried.
His own princess was currently in the post house. He didn't care about his wife's safety. Instead, he pretended to care about Concubine Yue. Thinking about the fact that he was about to bring Princess Yuanxi into the palace, Xie Jingchen was filled with contempt:
He really is a heartless and unjust person.
But he was not allowed to say anything else. Lin Jinxiao had already raised the Emperor's Sword and waved decisively towards the sergeants behind him: "Surround Rongning Garden immediately and capture the assassin."
Suddenly, there was a surge of people, and they rushed into the post house.
Xie Jingchen secretly looked at Han Yicheng, looking at his calm demeanor, he couldn't tell who was Nandu Wang or Xiao Zhizhi at all.
It's even more unclear what Lin Jinxiao's intention was.
But whether it was to capture an assassin or a traitor, if little Zhizhi had been hiding in the post house, it would undoubtedly endanger her safety. Without thinking, she led her guards to follow her into the post house.
The purpose of Lin Jinxiao's trip was clear. As soon as he entered Rongning Garden, he quietly ordered people to control the guards in the garden, and ordered He Ying to lead people to surround the entire garden.
This sudden change made the maids guarding outside the hall completely unable to deal with it. They were helpless and were about to report to the hall. He Ying directly threw a sword forward and inserted it into the door.
The maids were so frightened that they immediately ran away with their heads in their hands, not daring to approach the main door of the main hall.
Seeing the silence inside, He Ying made a quick decision and sent someone to guard the door. He loudly shouted to Lin Jinxiao: "Your Highness, I'm afraid that the assassin has sneaked into the inner courtyard and may endanger the noble concubine."
"Is the imperial concubine okay?"
Lin Jinxiao pretended to shout into the palace: "Today, several fierce assassins entered the post house and rushed into Rongning Garden. I personally brought people to protect the imperial concubine Zhou Quan."
At this time, Concubine Yue and Prince Nandu were enjoying themselves. When they smelled the movement outside, they were frightened and broke into cold sweat all over their bodies.
Concubine Yue's eyes widened in surprise. She lay on Lin Tingkai and whispered in a low voice: "When did the assassin come to the garden? How dare this poor settler suddenly break into the garden without my permission?"
Lin Tingkai was so anxious that he quickly lifted her off him, got up hastily, and while putting on his clothes, he urged: "You have to find a way to hold him down for a moment so that I can escape, otherwise you and I will die.
"
"this"
In desperation, Concubine Yue was also in a state of confusion, hesitating and not knowing what to do.
When Lin Jinxiao saw that there was still no movement in the room, he raised his voice and shouted towards the palace: "When you hit the door, you must protect the safety of the imperial concubine. Don't let the assassin hurt the imperial concubine."
Xie Jingchen was also worried. After searching for a long time in the garden, little Zhizhi was nowhere to be seen. He didn't know what her current situation was. She wanted to avoid being kidnapped by assassins or killed by Concubine Yue.
Not caring about Xie Liushu's obstruction, he hurriedly followed He Ying and rushed forward to open the door together.
When the palace door opened, two disheveled figures came into view.
Before Concubine Yue could think of how to respond, these people barged in, which was really infuriating.
She hurriedly stopped in front of Lin Tingkai, trying to block King Nandu's figure, and cursed fiercely: "You guys, who don't know the heights of the world, dare to break into the palace's annex without permission. What crime should you be punished for?"
"Ah, Uncle Sanhuang, you are here too."
Lin Jinxiao ignored Concubine Yue's accusations and directly pointed the finger at the person behind her. He was shocked and said: "What are you doing? A man and a woman alone in this courtyard in broad daylight. Isn't it against the rules?"
This scene was so unsightly that He Ying, Han Yicheng and all the guards turned away with embarrassed expressions.
