The fifth prince and his entourage ran for two miles along the secret road and finally escaped into the valley. Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they heard someone chasing them from behind. Several people quickly got into the tall grass next to them, not daring to make a sound.
movement.
Fifteen and the secret guards pretended to search, then reached out and patted Lao Tie on his shoulder.
Lao Tie remembered his master's previous instructions and swam silently into the grass. The gray-haired old man felt a sharp pain in his ankle and fell down.
"There is movement over there." Several secret guards moved towards the direction of the noise and surrounded it.
Mr. Dong and his master were both in that direction, and the few accompanying guards had no choice but to jump out and try their best to lure the hidden guards away.
Lao Tie, who had completed his mission, had already scurried back to Fifteen's shoulders, followed Fifteen all the way to fight and kill, and got rid of several of the Fifth Prince's guards.
Seeing that Prince Yun's secret guards had gone away, the fifth prince breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly went to check on Mr. Dong who was lying in the grass - although he was lying on his side, he maintained a 'crouching' posture.
The fifth prince's attendant wanted Mr. Dong to lie down flat, but his body was very stiff and he couldn't straighten it no matter how hard he tried.
The fifth prince stretched out his hand to check Mr. Dong's breath, but he was still breathing: "What on earth is going on?"
"I think I saw a snake swimming in the grass just now. It is very similar to the color of the grass. I am not sure." The attendant hesitated and said.
"Check if there are any wounds." The fifth prince clenched his hands into fists. This trip was not going well anywhere, which was really annoying.
"Maybe it's here..." The waiter pointed to a purple-red blood spot on Mr. Dong's ankle.
"It looks like it was stung by an insect. The poisonous snake should have two teeth marks." The fifth prince took out a small porcelain bottle from his body and carefully poured out a Qingling Pill.
Although he was reluctant to part with it, he still gritted his teeth and stuffed the elixir into Mr. Dong's mouth.
"Your Majesty, we have to leave here first. If those secret guards come back again, we will be in trouble.
"Let's go." The fifth prince was also a little panicked now, "Let's go to Tang County and meet the people there first."
"Yes." Mr. Dong's current posture is not easy to carry or carry. I really don't know what to do...
More than fifteen people waited at the exit of the valley for a long time before they saw the fifth prince and his attendants walking out, carrying an old man on a bamboo pole.
Seeing the appearance of the three of them, Fifteen almost laughed out loud, squatting on the tree and twitching his shoulders.
Lao Tie rolled his eyes: If you twitch again, I will be shaken off by you.
After confirming that the fifth prince was not only alive and kicking, but also had the strength to carry people, the fifteen or so people went back to their lives with peace of mind.
The fifth prince and his attendants arrived at Tangxian County early the next morning. They summoned their men and were shocked to find that all the people ambush along the coast had been strangled, leaving no one alive.
"Your Majesty, someone must have leaked the news." The attendant was also a little dumbfounded.
Prince Yun's secret guards traced all the way to the other courtyard because they discovered the saw-toothed beetle. Then their ship would not be attacked by the beetle, and it would not dock in Tang County. So, why did they ambush the people here?
Will he be strangled?
This matter is indeed strange, and the fifth prince also suspected that there was something wrong within the organization: "First find a place to settle down, and then ask the doctor to check on Mr. Dong."
The doctors in Qingzhou City are helpless to deal with Mr. Dong's illness. Maybe the doctors in Tangxian County can do something about it. Mr. Dong is from Zhongzhou, so it will be more troublesome if something happens to him.
"Yes." The nearby waiter responded and drove the carriage to the county seat.
At this time, everyone on the boat was also confused. It was like being possessed by an evil spirit that night. Wherever the boat docked, there was a scene of swords and swords.
Although all of Prince Yun's guards were capable of fighting, none of the assassins could get close to the building. But hearing the thrilling sound of the fight was still chilling.
At this time, several adults from the Third Law Department felt very lucky. If they had escorted the criminal, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even one assassination attempt, and they would have died a long time ago.
Eunuch Zhang suffered from the heat at noon the day before and was not feeling very well. He listened to sword fights all night and fell completely sick from shock and fright.
When the high-rise boat docked at the dock outside the imperial capital, he couldn't even walk. Two guards carried him directly to the carriage. Like Eunuch Zhang, who was frightened and sick, there was also Mr. Zhao, the censor Zhongcheng.
Ming Ruo sat on the carriage and rolled his eyes outside - all of them were really 'weak'.
"Your Highness Prince Yun, it's still early now. After we enter the imperial capital, we have to go back to the palace first, right?" the Minister of Punishment asked softly outside the carriage.
"After you return, you two will personally escort the prisoner to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and I will send the princess back to the palace. Then, we will meet at Chengtianmen." It was rare for His Highness Prince Yun to say such a long speech, and the Minister of Punishment almost burst into tears with gratitude.
"Wei Chen obeys your order." As soon as the Minister of Punishment got on the carriage, he started to complain to Chu Shaoqing, "Master Zhao is really ill at the right time, so let us two help him. Fortunately, Prince Yun entered the palace with us, otherwise...
…”
"The division of labor has been clear from the beginning of this errand. We can just report our respective official duties to the emperor. I don't know Mr. Zhao's accounts." Chu Chenzhou was drinking tea and poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Zheng
In front of the waiter.
When Shilang Zheng heard what Chu Shaoqing said, he suddenly understood: "What Mr. Chu said is that Mr. Zhao is responsible for those accounts, and I don't know about it either."
The motorcade marched leisurely and entered the imperial capital through the South City Gate at noon. Prince Yun sent his own soldiers to escort the criminal to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Mingruo got off the carriage and looked up at the glittering golden plaque hanging on the main entrance of the palace.
"What are you looking at?" Si Haochen held Mingruo's hand.
"Look at this plaque, it's so dazzling." Ming Ruo felt quite emotional in her heart. Time is really amazing - the first time she stood in front of this mansion, she was full of scruples and doubts about this mansion. Now, she has a safe and secure place to belong to.
Feeling it.
Zhou Guan laughed and said: "The princess has really good eyesight. A few days ago, the Supreme Emperor came to sit in the palace and said that the plaque on our palace had faded and asked the Ministry of Industry to send someone to paint it again."
"The Supreme Emperor has returned to Beijing?" Ming Ruo remembered that the Supreme Emperor didn't like people living in the imperial capital.
"I came back from the Dragon Boat Festival, and then I came to our palace to sit down at odd hours, and asked Miss Zicao and Aunt Dong to make some salty snacks to eat." Housekeeper Zhou quickly sent someone to send a message to Meiyuan, saying that the prince and princess were back.
, and he accompanied him to answer the question.
Mingruo guessed that Emperor Danxu saw that Si Haochen hadn't come back for a long time and thought of something stupid. Seeing that the momentum was not right, Emperor Danxu came back to nip the bud in the cradle.
When Mingruo returned to Meiyuan, Aunt Dong was waiting in the courtyard with Zisu, Lithospermum and Jiyue: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Jin'an."
"No gift." Ming Ruoxu helped Aunt Dong, "How are you at home?"
