After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

May 8th.

When Shen Yuyao learned the news of the Crown Princess's death, she was counting supplies in a farmyard at the foot of Huang'en Temple.

......

Early in the morning a few days ago, Shen Yuyao brought Xia Xiaoxian to Huang'en Temple.

Shen Yuyao originally wanted to pick up Xu Yunxuan, Zi Su and Bai Zhi and return to Lu Garden first, because she still had two important things to do.

First, Shen Yuyao wanted to see Crown Princess Chang Meirong off for the last time.

Secondly, Shen Yuyao still had too much property in the capital, and she wanted to take it back to Prince Ning's Mansion in Yanjing.

Shen Yuyao thought that a married woman is like duckweed, following her husband all her life. If she has money, this duckweed can also grow roots and not be cut.

Therefore, Shen Yuyao would agree to return to Prince Ning's Mansion in Yanjing with Prince Ning, but on the way back, Shen Yuyao wanted to go to the Duke's Mansion in Haozhou.

She really missed her parents too much.

When she met Abbot Huijue of Huang'en Temple, Shen Yuyao learned that Xu Yunxuan and her family were not living in Huang'en Temple, but had rented a small farmhouse at the foot of the mountain and were waiting for her.

Shen Yuyao's maid Zi Su would go to Huang'en Temple before noon every day to inquire if there was any news about Shen Yuyao.

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Yuyao stepped out of the gate of Huang'en Temple, she ran into Zi Su who came to Huang'en Temple to ask for news.

"Your servant greets the princess, may the princess live long and healthy!" Zi Su's eyes were already filled with tears, but a happy smile was on her face, "Your servant greets Princess Xiaoxian, may the princess live long and healthy."

After Zi Su finished her greetings, she hugged Shen Yuyao's arm affectionately and said, "Miss, it's great that you and the little princess are safe and sound."

Shen Yuyao touched Zisu's head and said, "Zisu, I haven't seen you for a few days. You have lost a lot of weight."

Zi Su and Bai Zhi have been with Shen Yuyao since she was a child. They are master and servant in name, but they are like sisters. Shen Yuyao was delighted to see them again after being apart for several days.

"Auntie, auntie, give me a hug." Xia Xiaoxian especially liked Zi Su. As soon as she saw her, she clapped her chubby hands and asked for a hug.

Zi Su hugged Xia Xiaoxian and they were affectionate for a while.

"Where are Yunxuan and Baizhi?" Shen Yuyao chuckled. After not seeing each other for a few days, she missed the quirky Xu Yunxuan and the lively and straightforward Baizhi.

Zi Su smiled when she heard this, "I'll take you there. The concubine has rented a yard and is looking forward to your coming soon every day."

Shen Yuyao responded with a "OK", and Zi Su then saw that the person driving the carriage for the princess was Lord Tang from the Black Dragon Guard, and there were two guards following on horseback beside the carriage.

However, Zi Su felt that the look in the eyes of one of the guards seemed somewhat familiar.

Shen Yuyao looked at Zi Su with doubt, and then smiled and introduced: "Zi Su, you already know Lord Tang. The two people next to him are the close guards sent by the prince."

"One of them is called Danggui, and the other..." Shen Yuyao introduced the guard who looked familiar to Zi Su and said, "This one is called Longgu."

"Ah?" Zi Su laughed, "When did the prince start using names of medicines when naming his guards?"

[Zi Su's eyes really couldn't get any better. ]

[Isn’t that dragon bone my scumbag father? 】

[Although I have disguised myself, even if I turn into ashes, my aura is still there. ]

Shen Yuyao smiled secretly when she heard this.

Zi Su took the horse stool from Tang Wei, helped Shen Yuyao onto the carriage, then carried Xia Xiaoxian up, and then got on the carriage as well.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the carriage became much more stable. Shen Yuyao hugged Xia Xiaoxian, lifted the curtain and looked out.

In early May, the weather has started to get hot, but the rural scenery is unique.

The sunlight sprinkled gently on the wheat ears, as if they were coated with a layer of gold. The faint fragrance of mountain flowers wafted in the air, and occasionally the sound of roosters crowing and dogs barking could be heard. All this made Shen Yuyao relax her whole body.

Shen Yuyao pointed at the various new things outside the car and taught Xia Xiaoxian how to recognize them one by one.

I don’t know what is in the heaven where Xia Xiaoxian is, and whether the name is the same?

Xia Yu, who was accompanying the carriage, looked at the mother and daughter, and the corners of his mouth beneath the mask had risen to the highest arc.

"Just walk through this small forest and you'll be there." Zi Su pointed to a small courtyard with green tiles and white walls in the distance and said, "That's the one..."

Suddenly, in the grove, a dozen birds flapped their wings and flew straight into the sky.

"Whoa." Tang Wei pulled the reins and the carriage slowed down.

Danggui and Xia Yu also reined in their horses and slowed down.

This is the official road leading to and from Huang'en Temple. Except for the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, there are almost no people on weekdays. So many birds were suddenly startled in the woods, so there must be a lot of people hiding in the woods.

Xia Yu found that the horses he and Danggui were riding had become restless. They began to kick and pace constantly, and their noses were breathing heavily.

They were riding war horses, and the horses would only behave like this if they sensed danger.

"Not good, the guard must have discovered him."

In the densest part of the grove, the man hiding behind a tree looked at the man in black with a face scarf beside him and asked in a low voice, "What should we do?"

"We must kill Princess Ning today, otherwise..." The man in black looked ruthless, "If we let her return to the palace, I'm afraid we will die more miserably than she did!"

The man in black pressed the sword at his waist, revealing a tattoo with a strange pattern on the back of his hand.

A breeze blew by, and after the sound of dead leaves rustling, the surroundings fell into silence again.

Xia Yu looked around, rode up to Tang Wei and said, "Perhaps it's the wind that scared the birds. Let's keep going."

Tang Wei also glanced around and saw that there was indeed no other movement, so he continued to loosen the reins and patted the horse on its butt.

With their martial arts skills, they should be able to handle an attack from 10 to 20 people.

The carriage continued to move forward. When they reached the middle of the woods, the horses refused to move forward. Xia Yu and Danggui's horses also refused to move forward another step.

Xia Xiaoxian covered her eyes with her chubby hands and said in a tender voice, "Mother, there is a bad guy ahead!"

[The people lying in ambush in the woods, judging by their breathing sounds, must all be experts.]

[It has been rumored in the capital that after Prince Ning went to the vassal state, he spent all day enjoying fireworks, and I'm afraid his martial arts skills have long been abandoned. ]

[It shouldn't be a problem for my mother to protect herself. If my father's martial arts are really useless, he will definitely be caught.]

[If it is discovered that the scumbag father returned to the capital secretly without an imperial edict, that would be a disaster. ]

[Will my mother and I be exiled because of him? Oh! ]

[My mother is already someone who defied the will of heaven and changed her fate. The records in the Three Lives Book are unclear, and I am so anxious! ]

At this moment, Shen Yuyao and Xia Yu both thought to themselves that something was wrong.

Shen Yuyao lifted the carriage curtain, jumped off the carriage, turned to Tang Wei and Dang Gui and said, "You two take good care of the keel, I'll go to the front and take a look!"

Protect the keel?

No, isn't he a close bodyguard?

Shouldn't we protect the little princess?

Tang Wei thought that Princess Ning might have said the wrong name.

No matter what, it’s always right to protect the little princess first!

Tang Wei leaped off the edge of the car, and the moment he jumped off the edge of the car, his embroidered spring sword was already unsheathed. He bent his body slightly, guarding in front of the car with his whole body alert.

Xia Yu was just about to go investigate with Shen Yuyao, but when he heard what Shen Yuyao said, he couldn't help but pause. Could it be that the princess also thought that he had lost all his martial arts?
