Xue Mingyue and Xiao Yu stared at each other with big eyes.

Although she agreed with what he said in criticizing Xie Lang, the point was not at all. She knelt down and looked at him solemnly: "Did His Highness stay alone, or did he consult with His Majesty?"

When Emperor Jingping's chariot left, even Tang Qiyan, who was still recovering from his illness, was taken away.

How could this big prince be left behind?

Xiao Yu's eyes evaded, and his tone sounded a little guilty, but he was still so confident: "I have already asked my father for instructions, and he naturally agreed to my staying."

He just beheaded first and played later.

Regardless of whether the father agrees with it or not, he has already stayed anyway, can he still be captured?

Xue Mingyue: "..."

Xue Mingyue's whole body felt numb instantly. Seeing him like this, she knew that he had not greeted Emperor Jingping in advance.

She stretched out her hand and pinched Xiao Yu's cheek, and warned: "I will order someone to catch up and talk to His Majesty right now. No matter what His Majesty's arrangements are, you must be obedient. Do you understand?"

Xiao Yu tried to win leniency.

Before she could open her mouth, Xue Mingyue pinched her upper and lower mouth into a duck-bill shape. She smiled and said, "That's it."

The person with the highest martial arts skills around Xue Mingyue was Lidong.

However, Xie Lang had left Wu Ye behind and wanted to choose one of the two to tell Emperor Jingping. Naturally, she chose Wu Ye. She was not willing to let her own people suffer during such a long journey.

Wu Ye thought to himself, okay, he is not one of us yet.

Why has it been so long since Mr. Marquis to please his wife? Wu Ye thought rebelliously in his heart, Lord Marquis is really useless.

In fact, the situation was not as bad as Xue Mingyue thought.

Because Emperor Jingping soon knew that his youngest son was missing, Xiao Yu only escaped by himself this time, without even telling the eunuchs and guards who had been with him for many years, which shows how terrified they must have been when they found out.

They even suspected that Xiao Yu had been kidnapped by others.

Just when Emperor Jingping was anxiously asking the guards to search around, he found the letter Xiao Yu had left in the carriage, in which he wrote down his whereabouts. After reading the letter, Emperor Jingping asked the guards to go back to the camp to find him. Xiao Yu is gone.

Xue Mingyue didn't know those twists and turns.

But she still thoughtfully prepared a sumptuous lunch for Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu was very happy when he saw the table full of food, thinking that this was her agreement to let him stay with her.

Xue Mingyue smiled and gave him some food: "Eat more."

Xiao Yu was moved and said: "Sister Xue, you are indeed good to me."

Liu Yun and Liu Xing couldn't hold back their laughter and lowered their heads so as not to look at him. If he had more life experience, he would realize how similar this meal is to the decapitation meal.

Before the two of them finished their meal, the guards came over first.

When Xiao Yu was taken away without any obstruction, Xiao Yu was still a little confused. He looked at Xue Mingyue with tears in his eyes, trying to get her to speak out and let him stay, but Xue Mingyue...

Of course she won't do this!

Xue Mingyue couldn't hide the joy on her face and urged: "Your Highness, please leave quickly. Don't let Your Majesty worry."

Soon, Xiao Yu was carried on horseback by the guards and flew away in the dust.

Liu Xing then asked: "Miss, His Highness the Sixth Prince cannot be more sincere in his treatment of you. Why do you want to send him back?"

Before Xue Mingyue could answer, Lidong slapped Liu Xing on the head.

"You are stupid. Did you forget about the snakes we encountered last time when we went into the mountains with His Majesty the Sixth Prince? His Majesty the Sixth Prince neither greeted His Majesty nor brought any bodyguards with him. What if we accidentally encounter someone who is ambushing and assassinating us again? ?”

Lidong's tone was very hateful that iron cannot become steel.

After all, there is only a small team of Jinwu Guards left in the camp. In Lidong's view, this manpower is not even enough to protect the wife. If there is another Sixth Highness, they will definitely not be able to protect her fully.

To put it in simpler terms, His Highness the Sixth Prince is a big trouble.

It is only right to get rid of this kind of trouble as soon as possible. Otherwise, if something really happens, the only one who will be punished will be Xue Mingyue, the unlucky guy.

Xue Mingyue: "..." That's right, the words are rough and the reasoning is not rough.

She nodded and said seriously: "That's what Lidong said, but even if His Highness the Sixth Prince leaves, you can't take it lightly. The Holy Driver left and took away almost all the guards, so we must be more careful."

This is just a precautionary measure.

Xue Mingyue has not forgotten how many central officials Xie Lang, the newly promoted Jinwu Guardsman, has interrogated or dealt with in the past few days. She only knows that even before, Xie Lang would take a bath every time he came back to remove the smell of blood from his body. .

But ever since he exposed himself once and she smelled it, she had guessed it.

No wonder every time I see him, he always has a sense of tide about him.

Because of this, Xue Mingyue also had a little understanding of what Xie Lang was doing now, so she paid more attention to her own safety.

She cherished her life, even if she stayed in the tent all day long with nothing to do, she no longer casually went to the creek to fish or go into the mountains to collect herbs as before. The farthest place she went was to the temporary stable to see her little red horse.

But what Xue Mingyue never expected was that she would encounter an assassin just like this.

The black-clothed assassin lurked in the stable. The moment Xue Mingyue approached the stable, he jumped out of the fodder and stabbed her with his long sword. His movements were extremely decisive.

Xue Mingyue: "!"

This doesn't make sense. When did there be this pile of dry fodder next to the stable? !

She usually feeds the horses by asking them to be led out!

Lidong immediately drew his sword out of its scabbard and faced the assassin.

Liu Yun and Liu Xing were so frightened that after they realized what they were doing, they immediately pulled Xue Mingyue and stumbled back, shouting loudly as they ran: "There is an assassin! Come quickly, catch the assassin!"

"Come quickly, there are assassins——"

Xue Mingyue ran so fast that she felt like her heart was about to jump out.

The three of them only ran for a short distance when several assassins, also dressed in black, suddenly appeared in front of them. Her expression suddenly became cold, and she forced herself to calm down as soon as possible. He quickly grabbed Liu Yun and the two of them to stop and gradually retreated.

Wu Ye was entangled not far away and could not get over in time.

Xue Mingyue's hand held her left wrist without leaving any trace.

She stared at them expressionlessly and asked, "Who sent you to kill me?"

The man in black on the opposite side didn't react when he heard this. Xue Mingyue's voice trembled when he saw it, and he laughed self-deprecatingly: "There are so many of you, I will definitely not be able to escape anyway. Everyone is dead, so just let me die." Do you understand?"

"At that time, you can also tell the person who wants to kill me all about my expression. I believe they will be willing to listen."

Xue Mingyue, who was always observing them, was good at tempting.

The movements of several men in black who were approaching were all stunned.

They exchanged glances.

At this moment, Xue Mingyue suddenly raised his left wrist, pressed the sleeve arrows tied to his wrist with a neat movement, and shot out several short arrows, piercing the air and shooting straight towards the black-clothed assassin!

"Quick, run back!"

She grabbed Liuyun Liuxing and immediately ran to the stable to find Lidong.

Xue Mingyue felt that her lungs were filled with wind and her throat hurt. She bit her lower lip hard and ran faster, but at this moment she suddenly heard "Puff--" coming from behind her. The dull sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh.

Not long after, a big hand pressed on her shoulder.

"Mingyue, it's me, Ling Su."
