Princess Lanling seems to be a bit too bullying, but why should the emperor listen to her?
Even if she had a grudge against Shen Mingzhu and wanted to get rid of Shen Mingzhu, the emperor might not be able to listen to her.
Otherwise, when he and the eldest princess had a falling out over the pearl, why didn't the eldest princess act like this?
No, when he was in the capital, she had no chance to take action.
But this time they used him to go to the beach to exterminate the Japanese pirates and attacked Mingzhu when she was alone in the capital. It seems that the emperor did not allow Mingzhu to follow him but insisted on staying in the capital. Was there any premeditated plan?
If that's the case...
He clenched his fists so hard that the reins jangled so hard that his palms hurt, but he didn't care at all, he wanted to rush back to the capital immediately to rescue Mingzhu.
Qu Shui felt that his eyes were hurt by the wind, which made him, a man who would rather bleed than shed tears, cry.
His voice was slightly choked, "Your Majesty, they seemed to know that the prince would definitely come back, so they were afraid that the prince would come back too soon and save the eldest lady, so they tried to kill the eldest lady in prison several times. Fortunately, they wanted to kill the eldest lady in prison.
Several adults were also just people, and with the efforts of the Prime Minister, the Second Master, Wen Shizi and others, they failed at all. Later, they wanted to behead the eldest lady early, but the people in the street made trouble again.
Once, I asked the court to release the eldest lady, but they failed. The eldest lady is now being detained in Dali Temple again..."
Although it was only a few sentences, Xiao Xian felt heartbroken, as if seeing Mingzhu already suffering such pain.
For him, let alone seeing Shen Mingzhu suffer with his own eyes, even thinking about it would make him feel heart-wrenching pain.
Sometimes when he saw a woman being bullied by bullies on the roadside, he would take action without hesitation. In the past, he just wanted to save that weak person, but since he was with Mingzhu, he didn't know why, but he couldn't help but
Replace that person with a pearl.
When he saw someone suffering, he thought that if it were his beloved Pearl, he would feel an unbearable compassion.
Therefore, his originally somewhat evil temperament has become more and more righteous, so much so that even now he still feels that he still has three parts of his evil nature, but in fact, he is already full of awe-inspiring righteousness.
It was completely dark when their horses' hooves stepped onto the official road, and the horses galloped towards the capital.
There was his girl there, the beloved girl he wanted to be with for the rest of his life, and he couldn't let anything happen to her.
Suddenly, in the darkness, a man holding a lantern was walking towards their horse.
This place is close to the capital, and there are many villages in the suburbs of Beijing. Many people even have no land and only run small handicraft workshops or sell flowers in the suburbs of Beijing, so the population is considered dense.
But it was already dark now, and his face could no longer be seen clearly from a few feet away. He was walking on the road as if he were a wandering ghost without a soul, which made people feel like their scalps were exploding.
Xiao Xian and Qu Shui were naturally not afraid. They just pulled the horse to the side and let the man walk in the middle of the road.
Unexpectedly, that person suddenly bumped into Xiao Xian's horse very quickly. When he got closer, he could see his face clearly.
This man was dressed in black clothes, baggy, and his face was pale and gray, without any blood.
