The villain is ruthless

Chapter 600 Don't Take Your Highness ([-])

Putting on their masks, the two walked through the crowd towards the river.

The rented boat is nearby, and the boatman is already waiting.

Jiang Zhu walked over, greeted the boatman, and then asked the little prince, "How about letting this boatman follow?"

The little prince nodded his head.

Although he wanted to be alone with Jiang Zhu, but he was too young, and he was not a good waterman, there were many boats in this river, if there was a mistake, even if he risked his life, he might not be able to protect her well.

The two stepped into the boat, and under the moonlight, the river water shimmered faintly, together with the brightly lit scene on the shore, it was surprisingly beautiful.

In addition to small boats, there are all kinds of boats in the river, such as flower boats filled with silk and bamboo, and large boats from Gaomen.

Large and small ships poured into the water, and the lights of various colors intertwined together, like a perfect and magnificent picture scroll.

The two of them didn't want to join in the fun, so they parked the boat under the autumn moon on the other side of the river, sat quietly on the bow of the boat and enjoyed the beauty of the night sky, and their impetuous hearts gradually calmed down.

The boatman kept absolute silence, secretly standing aside, and did not interrupt the guest's interest.

"Sister, the scenery today is really beautiful." The little prince said softly.

"Well," Jiang Zhu said, "the moonlight is very bright, although it is not a new moon."

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is after the Qixi Festival," said the little prince, "If my sister likes the moonlight in the heart of the river, I will come again during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Jiang Zhu couldn't help laughing, "Before Qixi Festival, I'm thinking about Mid-Autumn Festival."

The little prince glibly said, "Every day with my sister is a festival, and so are Qixi Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival."

No matter how much Jiang Zhu disliked what he said, he still couldn't pick any thorns. Compared with the coldness of the past, the current little prince is really too sweet.

"Yes, yes," she indulged, "I like it too."

The little prince smiled softly, "Let's put the river lanterns together."

Jiang Zhu naturally agreed, took out the river lantern, and prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the little prince to write his wish on the river lantern.

The little prince did not refuse, took a pen and wrote a line on the river lantern, then turned to look at Jiang Zhu, "Sister, have you finished?"

"Yeah." Jiang Zhu put the river lantern inscribed with someone's longevity into the water, "It's finished."

"What did sister write?" The little prince couldn't help asking.

"Don't tell me," Jiang Zhu blinked, "It won't work if you say your wish."

The little prince hesitated, "Then sister doesn't even see my wish?"

"Of course," Jiang Zhu said, "neither of us can see the other's wish, it will only come true in the future."

"Okay." The little prince put the river lantern beside her, looked at the two identical river lanterns, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually deepened, "One day, I will know my sister's wish, and my sister will know mine too. desire."

Thinking of the words he wrote, Jiang Zhu smiled, "That will take a long time."

"Don't be afraid," the little prince said, "I can afford to wait as long as I want."

Jiang Zhu didn't say anything more, took out pastries and hot tea, and sat on the bow of the boat with the little prince to watch the moon.

The little prince silently looked at her profile, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Time passed by, and when the tea started to cool, Jiang Zhu was going to go back with the little prince.

At that time, exclamations suddenly came from the big ship not far away.

"Assassins! There are assassins!"

"Come here! Protect the prince! Protect the princess!"

Jiang Zhu and the little prince were taken aback, and turned their heads to look at the largest boat. The brightly lit boat was already crumbling. Countless noble ladies invited by the princess were trembling with fright, crying and wanting to get off the boat.

At the bow, Zhuang Yuelan was strangled by a man in black, who was threatening Xiao Ting to teach him a lesson.

Zhuang Yuelan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she looked at Xiao Ting beggingly, she couldn't hold back the calmness of the princess, only full of fear remained.

"Save me...Xiao Ting, save me..."

On Qixi Festival, she planned to spend alone with Xiao Ting, clinker, because Xiao Ting advocated attacking Nanyue, many ministers in the court were quite critical of Xiao Ting, in order to ease the relationship, Xiao Ting proposed to invite a noble lady to test the news.

Although Zhuang Yuelan was a little disappointed when she heard the words, she felt sorry for Xiao Ting's difficulties, and immediately agreed to his proposal.

She had made a lot of preparations for the Qixi Festival, and when she was about to inquire about the news, an assassin appeared on the boat, who kidnapped her without arresting anyone else.

There was damp moisture on the person who came, it was gloomy and cold, and the smell was very unpleasant. This made Zhuang Yuelan extremely frightened. She had no choice but to ask Xiao Ting for help.

Xiao Ting was also shocked by the sudden scene, and rushed forward without hesitation, ready to fight the assassin.

Unexpectedly, the assassin wanted Zhuang Yuelan's life.

At first glance, it was Nanyue's revenge.

The news that he wanted to attack Nanyue had spread as early as a month ago. Although the emperor didn't immediately agree with his suggestion, he didn't reject it either.

Nanyue must have also received the news, knowing that the war was unstoppable, and wanted to teach him a lesson.Killing Zhuang Yuelan was no small provocation.

Xiao Ting sneered again and again in his heart, feeling that Nan Yue was extremely naive.To actually want to use his concubine to threaten him is simply whimsical.

"Yuelan, don't be afraid," although Xiao Ting thought so in his heart, he was extremely worried about Zhuang Yuelan's comfort, "Don't worry, I will definitely rescue you."

Zhuang Yuelan was deeply moved when she heard the words, "Xiao Ting, I believe in you."

The aristocratic ladies at the side were terrified by the scene in front of them. Seeing that the assassin was only targeting Zhuang Yuelan, they felt relieved. Some even cursed Zhuang Yuelan in their hearts so that the position of the princess would be vacated. .

Little did they know that Zhuang Yuelan had the aura of a heroine, even if all the women on board died, nothing would go wrong.

"Let go of the princess!" Xiao Ting looked at the assassin furiously, "I know exactly who you are, I don't want to cause more casualties, it's better to know the fate of hurting the princess."

This was a blatant threat. He already knew the identity of the assassin. If he wanted Da Zhou to let Nan Yue go, he had better not act rashly.

The clinker assassin was not afraid of his threats at all, "Xiao Ting, we know exactly what kind of person you are, and your words cannot be trusted, not in the past, nor in the future."

Before the words finished, Xiao Ting's complexion suddenly changed.

"You should not have forgotten what you and your concubine did back then." The assassin's voice was cold, like a bone-piercing ice knife, "If the emperor knows the good things you and your concubine did, it is still a question of whether you can keep your crown prince."

The corners of Xiao Ting's mouth were tightly pursed, and he stared at the assassin coldly, as if looking at a dead person, "Nonsense!"

"Nonsense?" The assassin raised his head and laughed loudly, and cut Zhuang Yuelan's neck with his hand, "Shall I remind you that you were the thorn in the side of the Empress Empress."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around.

Wasn't the queen empress back then the little prince's mother?

Jiang Zhu looked at the assassin not far away, feeling astonished.

Could it be that it happened back then, and there are other reasons?
