Reborn on the wedding night, the regent princess said she knew she was wrong

Yuan Qingling estimated the time and thought to herself that Yun Ziheng should have gone far away.

She waved her hand gently, signaling the maid beside her to move more slowly and carefully pack up the exquisite pastries.

"Miss, what are you doing? Shouldn't we wait for Lord Yun?" Xuezhi tidied the pastries on the table, raised her head, and looked at Yuan Qingling with a puzzled look on her face.

Yuan Qingling slowly stood up, put on a cloak, and then walked towards the door without hesitation.

After hearing Xuezhi's question, Yuan Qingling paused for a moment.

She didn't look back, her eyes were firm but with a hint of helplessness as she said, "Pack up quickly and leave with me. Lord Yun is kind-hearted and generous to others, I can't let him get in trouble."

Being with a woman of her status would damage his reputation.

Xuezhi still didn't quite understand and continued to ask, "But Miss, Lord Yun has repeatedly told you to wait for him here. If he comes back and finds that you are not here, he might think that you deliberately deceived him!"

Yuan Qingling couldn't help but sigh softly and explained, "As long as he walks into the house and sees that there is no one, he will naturally understand the reason. Don't dawdle any longer, pack up quickly, and let's set off right away."

After saying that, Yuan Qingling no longer paid attention to Xuezhi, turned around, quickened her pace, and walked towards the stairs first.

Seeing this, the maid behind him could only quickly clean up the food on the table and follow.

When Yun Ziheng came back, he did not see Yuan Qingling and the box was empty. He almost thought he had entered the wrong box.

His expression turned cold, "What's going on?"

Yin Feng walked out from the darkness and told Yun Ziheng exactly what Yuan Qingling had said before.

"Master, I was afraid of exposing my identity, so I sent Yin Mu to accompany Miss Yuan. I will stay here and wait for you." Yin Feng added.

Yun Ziheng nodded.

He thought of the unrest outside the city that Yuan Qingling had mentioned before and her evasive look, and he began to understand a little.

"I'll ride there as fast as I can, you go find a carriage, and then find a few sets of women's clothes and cloaks and put them in the carriage, and then follow me along the way." After Yun Ziheng said this, he walked quickly towards the stairs.

The fact was just as he expected.

When he caught up with Yuan Qingling on horseback, they were confronting bandits.

"My beauty, why didn't you get off the carriage earlier and accompany us brothers? Why did you do this? Now you see, the carriage is broken, the horse is dead, and you and your servant are injured. Don't you still have to accompany us brothers now?"

Those bandits seemed to have expected that no one would come to help Yuan Qingling and his servant, so they teased Yuan Qingling and the others like wolves teasing their prey.

Yuan Qingling's maid held Yuan Qingling tightly behind her, her face full of panic and vigilance.

The clothes of several people were torn. It was probably because they fell out of the carriage when it broke down just now and rolled on the ground due to inertia and got their clothes scratched.

"You are so bold. You dare to do this right here at the feet of the emperor and at the city gate of the capital." Xuezhi said angrily.

"Oh, what a fierce little maid. I guarantee you'll have a blast later." A greasy voice sounded.

"Hehe, I don't know where the emperor Mo Beichen is under the feet of this world. Now he's just a baby in charge. I don't care." A bandit with a sly face spoke.

"You, you are too presumptuous. How can you call the current emperor's name directly? Aren't you afraid of being punished?" Xueyin spoke with pretended calmness.

"Hehe, Mo Beichen is just a young boy, I just called him that, why are you so anxious, do you have any ideas about the emperor? Hehe, don't be anxious, let the brothers check the goods first." After cursing, another bandit looked at Xueyin with a lewd smile.

Yuan Qingling was somewhat surprised to hear that they showed no regard for the current emperor.

He looked at the men carefully again, feeling somewhat puzzled. "The world is peaceful now, and you guys don't look like bandits. How do you make a living like this? Aren't you afraid of getting your family into trouble?"

"Oh, little beauty, you are still too young to try to get the truth out of me. You were probably still nursing when your brothers were licking blood from the knife. Don't waste your energy. Even if I tell you, you won't be able to tell anyone."

Yuan Qingling's lips curled up into a smile, and the person who had spoken earlier shouted angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

Yuan Qingling laughed sarcastically, "You keep saying that you are not afraid of our emperor, and you don't care that this is the gate of the capital, but I see that you are clearly very scared. You are so cautious even when facing a few weak women like us, and you are so evasive when you speak. I can't tell that you have been through blood and wounds before. Are you just bragging to show off your heroism? It's really hilarious."

When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly darkened, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Yuan Qingling took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands carelessly while speaking, "You are so cautious in your words and careful in everything you say. Aren't you afraid of even a few weak women like us?"

"Nonsense, why would we be afraid of you? You can be crushed to death with just one finger. It's a joke. Why would we be afraid of you?"

"If you are not afraid, why don't you even dare to tell the people behind you?"

"Where is the person behind us?"

"There was no one behind me, so why didn't they hit the carriage in front of them, but stopped mine? Could it be that I'm in trouble today?"

"Then you did make a mistake today and provoked..."

"Shut up, you loser." As soon as the man finished speaking, he was kicked to the back by the person next to him.

When Yuan Qingling saw this, her thoughts were confirmed. She couldn't help feeling sad and fell silent for a while.

When those people realized that their identities had been exposed, they stopped talking.

"Hurry up, don't dawdle, take them all away first, and clean up all traces at the scene." A leader waved his hand, signaling everyone to capture Yuan Qingling and others.

Yuan Qingling clenched the dagger in his hand and his eyes instantly became alert.

However, in the next moment, the horrifying sound of an arrow piercing flesh suddenly reached everyone's ears.

Yuan Qingling was startled and raised her head suddenly. Then she heard a very familiar voice coldly saying, "Who dares?"

As the words fell, Yun Ziheng was seen walking out slowly from the darkness with a longbow in hand and a bag full of arrows on his back, with an upright posture.

Yuan Qingling's expression changed slightly, and then she quickly turned her gaze to Yun Ziheng who was approaching step by step.

At this moment, Yun Ziheng's eyes were as deep as a pool of water as he stared at Yuan Qingling.

Yuan Qingling couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of guilt when Yun Ziheng stared at her like this, so she subconsciously quickly looked away.

Isn't this Yun family's eldest son too kind-hearted...
