Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

"Ding Si?"

Yan Ci didn't expect that he would really come to kill her, and in public. What she had just said to Xie Chengyin instantly became a joke.

After getting off the carriage, Yan Ci consciously stood behind Xie Chengyin.

In dangerous moments, she has to cherish her life. Right now, Xie Chengyin is her life-saving talisman.

Ding Si was still wearing tattered clothes, and his thick beard covered most of his face. His sharp eyes swept across Xie Chengyin who was facing him, and stared directly at Yan Ci.

He took slight steps and walked straight towards where Yan Ci was.

Xie Chengyin's eyes flashed, thinking that he was about to attack, so he drew his sword and went forward.

Ding Si seemed not to have seen Xie Chengyin. He neither fought back nor dodged Xie Chengyin's attack. It was not until Xie Chengyin's sword fell on him that Yan Ci saw a slight movement on his face.

Yan Ci watched in shock as the blood slowly dripped from the tip of the sword onto the ground, leaving a pool of bright red.

Xie Chengyin was also stunned. He didn't expect Ding Si not to fight back. He showed no mercy in his sword. The sword that hit Ding Si's right arm was so deep that the bone could be seen.

Ding Si was still looking at Yan Ci. The pain only made him pause for a moment, and then he continued to walk towards Yan Ci.

Xie Chengyin immediately turned around and ran to Yan Ci, holding his sword horizontally in front of Yan Ci, and said to Ding Si: "Stop!"

The stern shout worked. Ding Si's eyes moved and he finally looked at Xie Chengyin.

The lips under the beard moved, "I just want to see her."

It was just a few short words, but Yan Ci suddenly felt a dull sour feeling in his heart.

It was also at this moment that Yan Ci was certain that Ding Si would never hurt her.

Otherwise, with his skills, he could have easily avoided Xie Chengyin's sword, but why did he still get hit in vain?

Thinking of this, Yan Ci walked around Xie Chengyin and walked towards Ding Si.

Xie Chengyin grabbed her, his eyes filled with worry and warning, "Thirteen, be careful."

Yan Ci smiled and patted Xie Chengyin's arm, "It's okay, he's not here to kill me, otherwise he wouldn't have let you hurt him with that sword."

Seeing Yan Ci walking towards him, Ding Si's eyes softened, but he heard Yan Ci ask him: "Why do you want to see me?"

Ding Si lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Yan Ci, "I, I want to protect you."

Yan Ci said: "No, no one will hurt me."

Ding Si suddenly said anxiously: "No, yes, they want to harm you!"

"You're talking about the person who ordered you to do this. Do you remember everything?"

Ding Si nodded. He remembered that after being fed pills by Xie Chengyin for several days in a row, he became much more conscious and he also remembered a lot of past events.

"Then why are you suddenly telling me all this? You refused to tell me when I asked you before."

"Because..." Ding Si was about to blurt out the words but he suppressed them. He paused and said, "Because you said you would remove the mother-child Gu from me, so I believed you."

Yan Ci chuckled softly, "I'm not helping you for free. I want you to tell me who's behind you."

"It's Xiao Ling."

Ding Si's answer was so straightforward, so straightforward that Yan Ci felt that he might be lying to her.

But looking at Ding Si's serious expression, he felt that he was overthinking.

But he didn't expect that the person behind the scenes was actually Xiao Ling. Although Yan Ci was deeply surprised, after a little thought, he felt that if it was Xiao Ling, many things made sense.

Those who wanted to harm Jiang Yun chose to do it at the wedding time instead of earlier or later. It was because they didn't want Jiang Yun to become the Crown Princess, and also because it was easier to succeed at the wedding ceremony.

Yan Ci thought that the person who attacked Jiang Yun was someone in the palace, because no matter whether it was the fake Yuxiu or Cailan, it was already a great fortune for them to serve the Crown Princess, but they could still be used by others to attack the Crown Princess.

It only means that person has a higher status than the Crown Princess and brings them more benefits.

In the harem, Xiao Ling is indeed the most qualified person to have such a status and to command the palace maids in Chonghua Palace.

It seems that her attack on Jiang Yun was not simply to prevent her from becoming the Crown Princess, but her ultimate goal was Crown Prince Shen Zhaoyong.

In the future that Xie Chengyin experienced, Crown Prince Shen Zhaoyong had died as early as the 25th year of Tianqing, and the one who ascended the throne was Shen Zhaoyan, who was later made crown prince.

In this way, Jiang Yun’s death was the beginning of Xiao Ling and Shen Zhaoyan’s plan for the throne, and not after the prince’s death.

In this short period of time, which lasted no more than a stick of incense, Yan Ci thought of a lot.

When she was reborn, she tried to change many unpleasant things that would happen in the future. She thought that she could prepare in advance by knowing the specific time of occurrence from Xie Chengyin, but she didn't expect that many things had already begun when they didn't even know about it.

So what she thought was still a lot of time was actually just the curtain of the finale that had not yet been opened.

The ending inside has already been determined.

Xie Chengyin had been watching from the side. He was only five steps away from Yan Ci. As long as Ding Si made any move, he could immediately take Yan Ci away and escape safely.

Seeing that Ding Si really had no intention of killing Yan Ci, and was very cooperative in telling them that the person behind the scenes was Xiao Ling, Xie Chengyin's vigilance was reduced a lot.

But as long as he cannot find out Ding Si's true identity, Xie Chengyin will never be able to fully trust him.

Without verification, who knows whether what Ding Si said is true or false, and how can we know that he is not pretending to surrender and then taking the opportunity to turn the tables.

At this time, the originally quiet street gradually became more and more crowded, and from time to time passers-by looked towards them curiously.

Xie Chengyin said: "There are too many people here, let's go back to the Marquis' Mansion and talk about it."

Yan Ci looked at Ding Si and saw that Ding Si did not refuse, so he said to Xie Chengyin: "You go first, I will go home first and come over later."

She had already wasted some time in the palace, so she should go back home and tell her family first so that they can rest assured.

Besides, she now has something that needs to be verified immediately.

Yan Ci walked to the side of the road, got on the carriage in a few steps, and then told Uncle Hong to return to the Yan Mansion.

After Yan Ci left, Xie Chengyin turned to Ding Si and said in a bad tone, "Let's go. You don't need to lead the way."

Ding Si glanced at Xie Chengyin, turned around and left without saying a word.

Quite arrogant.

Xie Chengyin also hurriedly followed. He had just been injured, so he had to treat his wound first when he returned.

On the other side, Yan Ci, who had returned to the Yan Mansion, got off the carriage and went straight to the study in the front yard.

She knew that Yan Tonglin usually stayed in the study after court.

Sure enough, the door of the study was open, and Yan Tonglin was sitting at the desk writing furiously.

Hearing the hurried footsteps, Yan Tonglin looked up.

"Aci, you're back. Why are you so flustered? What happened?"

Yan Ci walked to the desk and saw a new inkstone on the table that had not been used yet. He took it and placed it in front of Yan Tonglin.

"Dad, let some blood."
