When Yu Wenhao took the order and turned around to leave, he only thought about one sentence. If it was the fourth child, then this move had been planned for a long time.
Wait until he returns to Jingzhao Mansion before taking action, killing three birds with one stone.
Killing the seventh child and blaming the boss. In the end, he, the governor of Jingzhao, was dismissed from office again because of his inability to catch the assassin.
What a good plan.
Yu Wenhao was actually secretly guarding against him. However, he really had no way to strike first.
He has accumulated a lot of connections now, but Lao Yuan's situation is too eye-catching, and people are watching everything he does. As long as he makes a mistake, or if there is any unusual behavior in the Chu Palace, his father will immediately take him in.
Father, do you know that your attention is actually suppressing me? Suppressing me to the point where I can only be beaten now.
Yu Wenhao got on the horse tiredly, remembering that he had not said a word to her since Lao Yuan was attacked until now.
Lao Yuan is timid, will he be scared to death this time?
Yu Wenhao's eyes turned red. He had never felt so wronged.
Prince An's Mansion.
Incense was burned in the study, and white smoke was slowly blowing out of the gold-cut incense burner.
The smell of agarwood fills every corner of the study.
Ah Ru carefully ground the agarwood powder. Her fingers were as white as onions, warm and delicate. Her movements were also very graceful.
Her eyes were faintly looking at the handkerchief on the case. Wang An closed his eyes and smelled the agarwood scent spreading in the air, his face intoxicated.
"This handkerchief..." Ah Ru asked softly, putting the ground powder into the incense burner, "embroidered with Princess Chu's name."
King An suddenly opened his eyes and gave Ah Ru a wicked look, "What? Are you jealous?"
Ah Ru smiled faintly, "How could it be? Ah Ru remembers her identity, but she is just curious about how Princess Chu's handkerchief came to be in your hands."
"I stole it." King An sneered.
"What's the use?" Ah Ru walked around behind him and rubbed his temples.
King An took her hand and said, "Ah Ru, I ask you, how would you react if you were scorned?"
"Disgusted, angry!" Ah Ru frowned.
"Will you inform me?"
Ah Ru said softly: "Of course, Ah Ru works for the prince. If you are wronged, you will naturally inform the prince."
King An then laughed softly, grabbed her wrist and pulled her in front of him, pressed his lips, and said arrogantly: "If my Aru is bullied and frivolous, I will definitely find the villain to fight to the death."
Ah Ru laughed, with charming eyes, "Is it related to this handkerchief?"
King An reached out and touched her lips, "I am just waiting for Lao Wu to come to my door. Lao Wu has a bad temper and is known to dote on his wife. If he is scolded by his father for failing to arrest him, he will definitely come to the door to cause trouble."
His eyes gradually became colder, and a cruel look slowly appeared in his eyes, "I will crush him under my feet and make him never stand up again."
Ah Ru then understood, and his smile deepened, "My lord, the only one who has the ability to compete for the position of crown prince, except King Ji of Qi, is the King of Chu. If even the King of Chu sinks, you will be unstoppable."
King An laughed heartily.
After laughing, he hooked Ah Ru's chin and said thoughtfully: "Tell me, if Lao Wu comes to the house to cause trouble, what gesture will I make to anger him more?"
Ah Ru thought for a moment, "Your Majesty, since you want to completely anger him, why not do something more?"
Aru whispered a few words into his ear. When King An heard the words, he was overjoyed and praised: "What you said makes sense."
King Qi’s Courtyard.
In the afternoon, King Qi gradually stabilized.
Although my heartbeat and blood pressure are still not in a normal state, they have indeed made great progress compared to before.
Yuan Qingling wanted to go home and change her clothes, so Aunt Xi ordered her to go down and prepare the carriage.
The carriage was ready, and Grandma Xi helped Yuan Qing Ling get into the carriage, and then went back to help Man'er.
Little did they know that as soon as Yuan Qing Ling got on the carriage, the carriage's wheels actually flew out.
The carriage suddenly dwarfed and tipped over, frightening the guards.
Fortunately, Yuan Qingling did not fall, but only hit her head on the crossbar of the carriage, which was not very painful.
Aunt Xi had no choice but to help her get out of the carriage and said angrily: "How do these servants of Prince Qi do things? Even if the carriage is broken, they won't repair it."
"Forget it, let's see if there are any other carriages available." Yuan Qingling felt uneasy because of the repeated accidents, so she wanted to return home as soon as possible.
The guard went in and asked, saying that there were only two carriages in the palace, and one of them had already gone out on business.
Yuan Qingling could only say: "Then wait first."
Just as he was about to go back, he saw the carriage of Prince An entering the alley and arriving slowly.
King An got off the carriage and saw the windlass flying out. He was startled and said to Yuan Qing: "Is Princess Chu going back to her mansion?"
Yuan Qingling had seen him look disgusting, but seeing him so polite and polite again felt very inconsistent.
However, due to the presence of others and not wanting others to notice, he said: "Yes."
King An smiled and said: "This carriage cannot move. Otherwise, I will lend you my carriage."
Aunt Xi was worried about not being able to find the carriage. When she heard what King An said, she quickly thanked her, but Yuan Qingling couldn't stop her.
King An said: "Too many things have happened in the past two days. Let's do this. I will escort Princess Chu back to the mansion."
"No need, I'd better wait for Lao Wu to come back." Yuan Qing Ling said.
King An did not force it, "Okay, let's go in together. It just so happens that I have something to ask Princess Chu."
Hearing this, Yuan Qingling frowned and stopped, "Forget it, I don't know when the fifth brother will come back, so I won't wait for him. Since the fourth brother is willing to lend me the carriage, I'd like to thank you very much."
, It’s just that you don’t need Fourth Brother to escort you, I have an escort.”
She held her waist and strode towards the carriage. Aunt Xi helped her get up and said, "You sit down and wait a while. I'll go in and help Man'er."
She told the guards and handlebars to keep a close eye and be alert when seeing suspicious people entering the alley.
As soon as Aunt Xi entered, Prince An got on the carriage and said to Yuan Qingling's guards: "You guys run and follow me. I will personally escort the princess back."
After saying that, he raised his whip to drive the horse, and then handed the whip back to the rider.
The guards were stunned, they weren't here yet.
Yuan Qingling was sitting inside. Suddenly the carriage started to move, and King An opened the curtain again and came in. She suddenly became alert.
"Your Majesty, the lack of intimacy between men and women is arousing criticism. You should not sit here." Yuan Qing Ling said angrily.
King An smiled and said: "It's okay, Chao Xiang belongs to me. As for your guards, they are all running behind. They don't see me coming in. They thought I was sitting outside driving the chariot together."
As he said that, he sat directly next to Yuan Qingling.
Yuan Qingling hurriedly reached out to pull the curtain and said urgently: "Stop, stop!"
The carriage rattled, the wind howled, and the handlebars shouted, and the guards running behind could hear Yuan Qingling's screams.
King An took his time and looked at Yuan Qingling's angry and red face, laughed, turned his head and asked, "Are you afraid of me?"
