Early in the morning, as soon as the city gates were opened, Li Huaizhi, Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, escorted the prison cart into the capital city gate.

It was still dark at this time, and he didn't dare to relax at all.

He encountered many poisoning and assassination attempts along the way, but fortunately, there was a force hiding in the dark to help him, so that he and the prisoners did not die.

Although he had no idea who those people were, through long-term contact, he realized that they were helping him, so he stopped caring about them.

Now that we are in the city, I wonder if that gang is still there.

Although it is under the feet of the emperor, it is also surrounded by tigers and wolves. As long as you haven't entered the gate of the Dali Temple, you are not safe.

He held the reins with one hand, placed the other on the sword at his waist, and looked around.

The peddlers on the street have already braved the severe cold and walked through the snow.

Li Huaizhi didn't dare to relax at all.

When they reached North Street, which was still some distance away from the Dali Temple, Li Huaizhi suddenly heard the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed.

The horse neighed.

His heart tightened, and he immediately tightened the reins, drew his sword, and shouted to his men: "Attention, there are enemies!"

More than twenty soldiers drew their swords, surrounded the prison van, and guarded it strictly, leaving no chance for the criminals to take advantage.

Li Huaizhi thought there would be a fierce battle, but unexpectedly, before the assassin came out, the sound of weapons clashing was heard in the dark.

Although he really wanted to turn around and take a look, he still stood guard with his sword in hand to prevent any accidents because he had a mission to accomplish.

More than twenty soldiers had their hands red from the cold, but they did not slack off at all.

His deputy looked in the direction where the fighting sound came from and said, "Sir, it looks like that group of people are helping us again!"

wrong!

That group of people followed them out of the city but didn't enter, so it couldn't be them.

This is another group of people fighting the assassins.

It seems that the force is quite powerful.

Li Huaizhi did not refute his deputy.

No matter who they are, their purpose is clear. They want to help him escort the prisoners to the Dali Temple. They are not enemies.

After a few muffled groans, the sound of fighting gradually faded.

"withdraw!"

Li Huaizhi didn't dare to relax after hearing this. He stayed there for a while, making sure there was no movement before putting away his sword.

Li Huaizhi sheathed his sword and ordered his men behind him: "Those people have already retreated, put away your swords and set off!"

"Yes, my lord."

The long street was completely quiet, with only the sound of horse hooves and wheel wheels.

In Prince Jing's mansion, Lu Ming covered his chest and knelt down in front of Xiao Chang'an, "Prince, I failed to live up to your trust. I didn't expect that they also had an ambush in the city."

Seeing the blood oozing out of Lu Ming's chest, Xiao Changan said unhappily, "You failed even though you were injured like this, you are such a loser!"

Lu Ming covered his chest and lowered his head, "I am useless, please punish me, Master!"

Xiao Changan looked down at him and gave him a cold glance, "Forget it, I didn't expect you to do that. Go down."

Lu Ming stood up and left the hall.

Xiao Changan walked to the corridor, looked at the silver-white ground in the dark night, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It's time for a showdown.

Early in the morning, at Wang Qing's house, Dian looked at the poison in her hand, a fierce look flashed in her eyes, and she poured it directly into the abalone and chicken porridge.

"Give it to that bitch, and ask her to deliver it to the master." Dian ordered the nanny, and then said: "Ask her to persuade her father to divorce me, and don't let her get suspicious."

The nanny showed no surprise on her face. She nodded, turned around and carried the food box to Wang Yirong's yard.

Arriving at Wang Yirong's courtyard, the nanny handed the food box to Wang Yirong and said softly, "Second Miss, this is the abalone and chicken porridge cooked in the kitchen. Take it to the master and persuade him to consider the lady's opinion yesterday."

Wang Yirong asked in confusion: "What's your opinion?"

The nanny calmed down and said, "The second young lady is smart. She must have known that the master had caused trouble. Madam wanted to divorce the master and temporarily save the others, but the master disagreed."

She sighed, looking melancholy, "Second Miss, the master loves your mother, I'm sure he will listen to you. Please persuade him and consider everyone. Madam will find a way for him from outside. Otherwise, if the Wang family goes to jail, the master will have no hope."

"Second Miss, now that Prince Jing has abandoned the Wang family, you can only save yourself. You don't want to go to jail, do you?" The nanny looked at Wang Yirong with pleading eyes.

Wang Yirong sneered in her heart.

She would do anything to put this family of criminals in jail.

Wang Qing loves her mother? How ridiculous.

Will Zhong Ai cause her mother's family to be destroyed? Will Zhong Ai deceive her, causing her to be desperate and end up in a brothel, where she will die of depression!

Wang Yirong pretended to be strong, still looking extremely terrified, "Okay, I'll try my best to convince my father."

She handed the food box to the maid Xi Que, bowed to the nanny, and left the yard.

Passing by the rockery in the garden, Wang Yirong stopped and signaled the magpie to open the food box.

Wang Yirong plucked the silver hairpin from the magpie’s head and put it into the porridge and stirred it. The hairpin immediately turned black.

The magpie's almond eyes widened in fear, and he murmured tremblingly: "Miss?"

There is poison in this porridge!

Someone wants to use the young lady to kill the master!

She was obviously frightened.

Although she knew some of the things Wang Yirong was doing, Wang Yirong never told her what to do, and she had never encountered such a life-threatening situation.

Wang Yirong sneered, "You really want to plot against me and use me? Humph!"

She just noticed that something was wrong with the nanny beside Dian.

The nanny had always been just like Mrs. Dian, she looked down on her and never showed any kind look to her.

Wang Yirong looked at the frightened magpie and smiled, her beautiful face was incomparably gorgeous, "Magpie, it's just poisoning, it's a small matter."

The magpie calmed down and asked in a low voice: "Miss, what are you going to do?"

If she gave it to the master, she would be charged with murder. If she didn't give it to the master, the lady would not let her go.

Wang Yirong showed a smug smile, her smile was as beautiful as a peach blossom in early spring, and her appearance was extremely beautiful. "Let them fight each other, what does it have to do with me?"

Although Xi Que didn't know what Wang Yirong wanted to do, he still smiled and nodded.

The young lady from her family has always been able to turn danger into safety, otherwise she wouldn't have come out of the brothel with a clean record.

When Wang Qing heard the servant report that Wang Yirong had brought him breakfast, he paused and asked the servant to let her in.

Wang Yirong walked in slowly, wearing a pastel-colored long coat with a gentle smile on her face.

"Did you sleep well last night, father?" Wang Yirong stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

There were dark circles under Wang Qing's eyes that were hard to hide. He was so worried that he almost didn't sleep the whole night.

But he didn't want his daughter to see him clearly, so he pretended nothing happened and said, "Shang Ke, get up."

Wang Yirong stood up with a smile, took the food box from Xi Que's hand and put it on the table.

The magpie bowed, walked out of the house and closed the door.

Wang Yirong suppressed her smile, opened the food box with a heavy face, and took out the porcelain cup, bowl and spoon inside.

"Come for the father himself!"

Wang Qing got up and walked to the bed, picked up a silver dagger under the pillow, went back to the table, pulled out the dagger, and stirred it in the porridge.

The dagger turned black in an instant.

Wang Qing's face suddenly became gloomy and he knocked over the porridge on the table, spilling all over the floor.

Even at this point, Dian still has no intention of saving him!

"Father, Madam...how could it be?"

Wang Yirong's eyes were wet with disbelief, and she looked weak. "What should my father and I do? My father is gone, and I can't live anymore. Wuuuuu!"

Under the handkerchief, the corners of Wang Yirong's mouth slightly raised.

It seems that her father saw the powder left on the bowl a few days ago.

Wang Qing was still furious, and looked with bloodshot eyes at his weak and unable daughter kneeling on the ground.

He has never cared much about this daughter.

But at this moment he had no one to trust, so maybe he could take a chance on her. After all, she was his own daughter.

"Please do something for your father."
