Lin Xiner quickly put on Yueyao's light pink dress, messed up her hair and put it into a simple braid, then covered her face with a square scarf, jumped out of the carriage, and hit her with a palm back.
A strong force was given to the carriage, and the inertia forced the horses to speed up and run forward.
"Is it you?" Ximen Hen recognized at a glance that the masked woman who intercepted him was the one who had hit him that day. He couldn't help but stop, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a wanton smile, "You also slept with me
The person who lives in the bed, we can be considered regular guests, right?"
"Master Wuhen, it's your business to be romantic and happy. Don't let your idle thoughts flow into the muddy water of Prince Xuan's palace." Lin Xin'er disguised her voice and stared at Ximen Hen with cold eyes and said in a deep voice.
"Princess Xuan was kidnapped by you from under my nose, how could I ignore it?" Ximen Hen said, "Let's do this, I let you get into my bed and hide, and you also let me get the princess back.
Come, let's make it even. As long as I return Princess Xuan to Prince Xuan, if you kidnap her again, I will never interfere."
"Ha," Lin Xiner sneered, "now you know that Princess Xuan cannot be offended? Wasn't it your own idea to intercept Lin Xiner to have a drink with you on the way?"
"Yes, if I hadn't taken action, she would have been kidnapped by your carriage long ago." Ximen Hen slapped his forehead and said suddenly, "Look, I really did it in vain."
"Did you just make one more move?" Lin Xiner smiled softly, guessing that the carriage had escaped the tracking line of sight and was no longer entangled with Ximen Hen. She waved her palm and struck Ximen Hen, taking advantage of him to avoid him, and walked away from him.
Sweep away and leave in the opposite direction to where the carriage is running.
Ximen Hen chose to continue chasing Lin Xiner who was kidnapped, so he followed the horse hoof tracks of the guards from the Hou Mansion. After a while, he ran into the people from the Hou Mansion. Seeing their aimless look, he knew that the carriage
Ran.
"What bad luck, we got into trouble!" Ximen Hen bit his lip, looked around, left the people in the Hou Mansion, and hurried towards the palace.
When Ximen Jingxuan and his people followed the news to the gate of the Hou Mansion, they met the pursuers coming back dejectedly.
Initially, those few people were lucky enough to think that the one who was kidnapped might not really be Princess Xuan, but seeing that Prince Xuan arrived so quickly, it must be true.
"The robber ran away?" Ximen Jingxuan asked with a faint glance.
"Fifth Emperor Brother, you also know the capabilities of my Marquis Palace. Naturally, the guards cannot compare to the skills of Prince Xuan Palace. I did my best. When I heard the news that Princess Xuan Princess was kidnapped, I didn't hesitate at all and chased them all.
Come out." Xiaoyao Hou Ximen Jingyu came out to speak for his people.
"Brother Huang is so polite. Jingxuan has to thank Brother Huang for his help. How can he blame others for not paying attention to his own princess?" Ximen Jingxuan said, "It's important to find the princess. Jingxuan takes his leave."
As soon as the sound fell, Ximen Jingxuan and his men rode off in the direction of the carriage.
"The horse hoofprints here are messy. The people from the Hou Mansion must have lost their carriage here." The subordinate checked it out and reported.
Ximen Jingxuan looked around. There was a piece of grass under his feet, and further ahead were the fields on the outskirts of Beijing. There were several small intersections. In order to facilitate walking, the farmer paved the road with fine stones, making it difficult to leave ruts. If he did not follow in time,
As noted above, it is indeed difficult to choose a direction.
"Ask Ximen Hen to go to Prince Xuan's Mansion to see this king." Ximen Jingxuan ordered his subordinates to pass the message.
"Yes." A subordinate took the order and retreated.
Ximen Jingxuan took people back to Prince Xuan's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, haven't you found the lady?" Regardless of her fear, Yan'er hurried over and asked when Ximen Jingxuan had just returned home.
Ximen Jingxuan glanced at Yan'er's still uncomfortable legs and asked, "Did Lin Xiner know Mr. Wuhen before?"
"Master Wuhen?" Yan'er shook her head, "I have never known this man, and the young lady certainly doesn't know him either."
Ximen Jingxuan didn't ask any more questions and walked towards the study.
Yan'er stayed in place, not daring to follow, but she was worried about Lin Xiner's condition. If she had known that the young lady would not come back, she should not have asked the young lady to find some medicine for herself. It was just a fall.
Her body is not that precious, but she is a young lady. What should I do if something unexpected happens?
Lin Xiner took a few detours to make sure no one was following her, then took another road and rushed to meet Yueyao at the agreed place.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Lin Xiner asked.
"Young Palace Master's prediction is correct. There is indeed a problem with the people in Xiaoyao Hou Mansion." Yue Yao said, "Our carriage has always been ensured to be within the sight of the pursuers. When passing through the fork in the field, it speeded up a bit, but still
There was someone chasing after me, and I’m sure that person saw which way the carriage was heading, but he didn’t continue to catch up. He just lingered at the fork, as if he didn’t know where to pursue, waiting for the people behind to catch up.”
"That is to say, someone in Xiaoyaohou Mansion changed his position from following openly to making secret visits?" Lin Xiner looked around. At this time, they were climbing to the foot of Sunset Cliff. If that person really saw the direction in which the carriage was heading, then...
I will definitely chase you here, and I will continue to chase you——
Lin Xiner glanced at the traces left by the carriage driven by Huangfu Yanchong as it continued to move forward.
"Young Palace Master, there are so many famous families and noble houses in the capital, how can you conclude that there will be problems in the Hou Mansion?" Yue Yao asked puzzledly, wondering why Lin Xiner chose the route passing by the Hou Mansion and alerted Xiaoyao Hou.
"It is inferred from the historical data of past dynasties." Lin Xiner said while hiding in the dark with Yueyao and paying attention to the movements around them.
"Can people predict today from the past?" Yue Yao was puzzled.
"It's not a prediction, but it allows people to clearly see that the royal family is different from ordinary people." Lin Xiner said, "The royal family is the most ruthless, and the relationship between people is not even as good as the relationship with the ministers. Every one of them
As members of the royal family, everyone has the most basic qualifications to sit on the Dragon Throne, but there is only one Dragon Throne, and it can only be reserved for the one who is most capable of sitting on it."
"My subordinates don't understand." Yueyao still didn't understand.
"Someone desperately sneaked into Prince Xuan's Mansion and wanted to impersonate me. It was obviously to deal with Ximen Jingxuan. Ximen Jingxuan himself had no intention of becoming the emperor, and it was Ximen Che who was assisting him wholeheartedly. For the emperor, he was protecting his son, so
It’s harmless to him. Now that the emperor is in good health, he should have no problem sitting on the throne for more than ten years. The second and third princes are still young, so there is no need to rush into the stable Prince Xuan’s palace to seize the throne.”
Lin Xiner said, "If they are really interested in the position of crown prince, they should try to find the prince. From the perspective of deposing the prince, it is safer and more beneficial for them."
