After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Jiang Ruoli's shout broke the silence of the night.

Jiang Ci'an was startled when he heard his sister's cry.

Is there another assassin?!

Jiang Ci'an ran out in a hurry.

When he arrived at the princess's tent, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the patrolling guards had already protected the two of them.

"Where is the assassin..." Jiang Ci'an said as he entered the tent.

When Jiang Ci'an saw the eunuch lying on the ground, pinned down by a large stone slab and a chair, he suddenly stopped.

There is a big question mark in my mind.

???

What is this doing???

Looking at the guard who didn't know how to start, Jiang Ci'an closed his eyes.

"Tie him up and take him away for interrogation."

Thinking of the two assassins who just committed suicide, Jiang Ci'an emphasized: "Keep an eye on them."

The guard bowed, "I understand."

After leaving the tent, Jiang Ci'an looked at the two people who were still a little frightened, feeling mixed emotions.

How did these two people move such a large stone slab?

"Are you okay, little sis?"

Jiang Ci'an looked at Jiang Ruoli's body and made sure she was not injured.

"Second brother, I'm fine..."

Seeing Jiang Ci'an coming, Jiang Ruoli felt relieved, and then she realized that her back was wet because of the fear she had just had.

Jiang Ci'an patted her head soothingly, looked at the princess who was looking puzzled, and said with a cupped hand: "I am late in coming to your rescue, please punish me, Your Highness."

Xiao Yuyao didn't say anything, but stared at Jiang Ruoli with sparkling eyes.

Since childhood, Xiao Yuyao has liked two types of people the most.

One type is a person with a good-looking appearance. Females can be sisters, and males can be brought into the princess's mansion as male favorites in the future.

The other type is the courageous ones, who dare to do things that others dare not do, and she admires such people very much, regardless of whether they are men or women.

At this moment, Xiao Yuyao admired Jiang Ruoli who saved her very much.

Jiang Ruoli felt uneasy when Xiao Yuyao stared at her.

She saved Princess Yuyao's life, so she shouldn't be targeted by her, right?

"Princess?" Jiang Ci'an spoke again.

Xiao Yuyao retracted her gaze and said, "Let's go, follow me to meet my father."

She had to find a way to lure Jiang Ruoli into the palace.

When Jiang Ruoli arrived at Emperor Chengren's tent, she saw Xiao Yujing being bandaged by the imperial physician as soon as she entered the door.

Jiang Ruoli was panicked.

[How did His Royal Highness get injured? ! ]

[Is the assassin coming again? ]

[But these assassins were originally arranged by the Third Prince, just to play a trick of inflicting pain on one's self.]

[The Third Prince hasn't come yet, so why is there an assassin?! ]

Jiang Ruoli was filled with doubts and uncertainty.

Xiao Yujing's heart trembled.

Was the assassin tonight arranged by the Third Brother?

Xiao Yujing looked at Jiang Ruoli.

No wonder Jiang Ci'an added so many guards today. It must be Jiang Ruoli who revealed the matter of the assassin to him.

She even knew all this.

Xiao Yujing's eyes were gloomy.

Jiang Ruoli saw Xiao Yujing looking at her and quickly lowered her head.

Duke Jiang was shocked when he saw his daughter and the princess coming in together.

Did Li'er also encounter an assassin?

Xiao Yuyao ran towards Emperor Chengren, hugged his arm and started crying.

"Father, you don't know how dangerous it was just now. Such a big knife was placed on my neck. I almost died!"

Xiao Yuyao gestured as she spoke, and pointed at the two drops of blood on her neck.

The corner of Jiang Ruoli's mouth twitched. If she had come any later, the emperor might not have been able to see the wound.

"But thanks to Jiang Ruoli, she is amazing."

Xiao Yuyao chattered away and recounted what happened tonight from beginning to end.

When talking about Jiang Ruoli moving the large stone slab, Jiang Ci'an couldn't help but feel his heart twitching.

My little sister is really... brave and resourceful.

Duke Jiang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at his daughter's actions.

"Father, Jiang Ruoli saved my life. If she hadn't been there tonight, I might have... might have already..."

Xiao Yuyao took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

Emperor Chengren patted Xiao Yuyao's arm soothingly.

The series of assassinations tonight have angered the emperor, who is known for his benevolence.

Emperor Chengren hasn't been as angry as he is today for many years.

Not only did he want to kill him, he also set his sights on the princess.

Okay, very good, he will not let any of these people behind the scenes go.

However, those who deserve rewards should still be rewarded.

Emperor Chengren looked down at Jiang Ruoli.

This woman looked petite and weak, but she saved members of the royal family time and time again.

I don't know if it's out of true loyalty or if it's intentional...

"The Jiang family girl is quite courageous. She actually dared to attack the assassin."

Jiang Ruoli bowed down and knelt.

"Your Majesty, I got up to use the restroom at night and saw a eunuch sneaking around. He knocked out a palace maid and entered the princess's tent. I was afraid that the princess would be in danger, so I dared not speak out. That's why I risked my life to attack the eunuch."

"The princess is a royal descendant, and anyone who encounters this situation will risk their life to save her."

What you mean is that saving your daughter was purely accidental. With your status, who would not save her?

Don’t think too much!

Emperor Chengren laughed and praised, "Good! As expected of a girl from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, you are both brave and resourceful. I will reward you handsomely!"

Duke Jiang's family had served in the army for three generations and were loyal to the cause. Emperor Chengren expected that Jiang Ruoli would not do anything to plot against the princess.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Duke Jiang, Jiang Ci'an and Jiang Ruoli all knelt down.

Before leaving, Jiang Ruoli looked at Xiao Yujing again.

His injury... looks a bit serious.

After leaving the tent, Jiang Ruoli was thinking about something when she was suddenly hit on the head.

Jiang Ruoli was startled and touched her head.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

"You still dare to ask me, do you know how dangerous tonight is?"

Duke Jiang was really angry.

Jiang Ruoli took Duke Jiang's arm in a flattering manner and said, "Look, I'm fine now, so don't be angry."

Duke Jiang snorted coldly, "Save this for your mother."

Jiang Ruoli paused, her face stiff.

"Good father, can you please not tell mother about this?"

Duke Jiang glanced at her coldly, "What do you think?"

I thought of the solemn promise I made to Mrs. Jiang last time.

Jiang Ruoli suddenly felt like the sky was falling.

-

At this time, Concubine Jia was in her tent.

"Snapped!"

A jade comb fell heavily to the ground.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

"Not only can we not kill him, we can't even kill his daughter!"

Concubine Jia's eyes were red and she was breathing heavily.

"Your Majesty, calm down! Be careful, there may be ears on the other side of the wall!"

The senior palace maid Qinglian was crawling on the ground. At this time, there were only the master and servant in the tent.

Concubine Jia was filled with resentment.

Although Heng'er was unable to come to the Autumn Hunt, she still arranged the assassin according to the plan.

She knew that assassinating Emperor Chengren would not be easy, and she was prepared for failure.

But she was unwilling to get nothing tonight, so she arranged for people to kidnap Princess Yuyao, lock her up for a few days and then send her back to the palace, so that the dog emperor could taste the pain of losing his beloved.

But unexpectedly a girl from the Jiang family showed up.

Not only did her plan get disrupted, but the eunuch was also captured.

In case of exposure...

Seeing that Concubine Jia had calmed down a little, Qinglian stood up and walked to her side.

While massaging her shoulders, she said, "My lady, don't worry about that little eunuch. I secretly poisoned him when I arranged the people. He will die suddenly in less than two hours."

"In this case, the Dali Temple officials will definitely think that the eunuchs are in cahoots with the two assassins."

Concubine Jia also planned this.

She was not afraid of what the eunuch said, because she just denied it.

She was worried that if the prince took over the matter, it would sooner or later lead to her being the cause.

Thinking of the two assassins who died tonight, Concubine Jia slumped dejectedly in her chair.

How should I explain this to Heng'er...
