Chu Chenlan couldn't help but feel very surprised when she heard Ouyang Yunyao's words. She widened her eyes and looked at Ouyang Yunyao, and she actually forgot how to answer.

Her maid Luo Mei, seeing Chu Chenlan was stunned and didn't speak for a while, quickly said to Ouyang Yunyao, "Princess Jing, the princess and the servants really don't know what happened in Kyoto."

Ouyang Yunyao glanced at the maid and found that this maid and another maid were skilled in martial arts. She thought that there must be some experts around Chu Chenlan.

At this time, Chu Chenlan came back to her senses and said, "Third Sister-in-law, I really haven't heard anything."

"This happened the day before the princess left Kyoto, and the news spread all over Kyoto."

Chu Chenlan was very upset after hearing this. How come no one in her palace told her about such a big thing in Kyoto? Could it be that she... Her second brother and cousins ​​didn't say a word when they sent her off. She shook her head and said, "Third sister-in-law, I was busy traveling the next day and didn't ask about what happened outside the palace."

Ouyang Yunyao didn't expect Chu Chenlan to really not know what would happen to someone like her if she went to Southern Chu? But this was not her business.

"Yan'er, please tell the Third Princess."

"It's the princess."

"The thing is... Miss Liu is not the daughter of the Grand Tutor. She is the daughter of her master Lai Gong and her mother..."

After Xia Yan told the story that happened in front of Tutor Liu's mansion, Chu Chenlan and her maids were all shocked and stunned.

"Third sister-in-law, is this true?" Chu Chenlan asked stutteringly. She didn't believe it at all.

"This is true. It couldn't be more true." Ouyang Yunyao said as she looked at her shocked expression.

Chu Chenlan had to believe it now. Then she thought of the fact that Liu Qingxiu had helped her to hold a banquet in Wanchun Garden, and she muttered to herself, "No wonder! No wonder!"

Ouyang Yunyao heard her mumbling to herself and knew that she had a good relationship with Liu Qingxiu. She must have remembered something. Ouyang Yunyao curled her lips and thought to herself, if she knew that Liu Qingxiu was going to assassinate her, she would be surprised. Isn't this just like what people say, a fake sister?

Ouyang Yunyao waited for Chu Chenlan to digest the news for a while before she said slowly, "Third Princess, I have another piece of news that may make you uncomfortable. Liu Qingxiu is now chasing our fleet. She vows to kill you and stop you from marrying Liang Haobo, the second prince of the Southern Chu Kingdom."

After these words were spoken, Chu Chenlan and her four maids were stunned.

"Come and kill the princess" maids.

Chu Chenlan stared at Ouyang Yunyao and pointed at herself. "She, she, she wants to kill me."

Ouyang Yunyao couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw these people like this.

"Third Princess, why are you so nervous? She can kill me if she wants to."

Chu Chenlan smiled at Ouyang Yunyao and her nervous mood eased.

"Third sister-in-law, I just can't understand why she wants to stop me from marrying Liang Haobo? Why does she want to kill me?"

"It's obvious. Since she's not the daughter of Master Liu, she can't marry into the royal family in Xichu to realize her ambition. She wants to marry Liang Haobo, which means she wants to get rid of you."

"If she kills me, will she be able to marry Liang Haobo?"

"They are senior brothers and sisters, right? Don't you know that Liang Haobo has always liked Liu Qingxiu?"

"Ah! He likes Liu Qingxiu?"

"Why, you don't know this either? You... Never mind, never mind. It's not too late for you to know now. Stay out of your room less these days and be careful."

Ouyang Yunyao rolled her eyes and looked at her speechlessly. How could this princess be even dumber than the original owner?

"Thank you, Third Sister-in-law. I will pay attention." Chu Chenlan didn't know why Ouyang Yunyao looked at her like that. Before she could react, Ouyang Yunyao said, "Well, a group of men in black came to the ship last night. You should know that those people also came to assassinate you, but they were all dealt with by your third brother and his men."

"Assassinate, assassinate me, Third Princess, who are they?" Chu Chenlan was a little panicked now. She didn't expect that there would be so many people who wanted to kill her just because she was related to her husband.

"They are from Beiyue. They want to kill you and destroy our marriage with Nanchu."

The two talked for a while, and then Chu Chenlan took a few maids and hurried back to her room. At this time, she was very surprised and very conflicted deep down.

When she got to the room, she was still talking to herself, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

"Princess, is this a mistake?" Her maid Luo Hua still asked in disbelief.

"Since Princess Jing said so, the news must be correct." The maid Luo Mei said affirmatively.

"Then why is there no news from my second brother?"

"Princess, Prince Yu must be afraid that you will feel uneasy if you know. Prince Yu will definitely be able to stop Miss Liu." Luo Yu replied.

……

At this time, in the Western Chu State, on the official road from Kyoto to the Southern Chu State, several waves of troops were chasing Chu Chenjing and his ships.

Chu Chenyu's master Wu Yuan and Chu Chenyu's trusted guard Chen Ru, with a large number of people, went straight to Nanying Wharf, the largest wharf in Guannan Prefecture.

There are many ambushes at this dock. No matter which dock they get off the ship at, they have to pass through here to reach the State of Southern Chu. They will ambush Chu Chenjing nearby.

They planned to use the bandits here to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and they were determined to kill Chu Chenjing. They were moving very fast. In order to hurry up these days, they only rested for one or two hours every night and continued on their way. Now they have surpassed the fleet led by Chu Chenjing.

On the way, Wu Yuan received a pigeon message from Chu Chenyu, informing him of Liu Qingxiu's situation. Chu Chenyu asked his master Wu Yuan to send some people back to intercept Liu Qingxiu, and the people behind him would arrive soon.

Wu Yuan thought this was a good idea, and sent a letter back to Chu Chenyu, asking him to find a way to rescue Lai Gong so that they could join forces.

……

The second wave of people were the secret guards led by Liu Qingxiu. She used the token given to her by Lai Gong to control all the secret guards in the house, and she led 400 secret guards to chase after them.

On the road, Liu Qingxiu, who was riding on a horse, raised the whip. "Snap". She turned her hand and whipped the horse's buttocks hard. "Go". At this time, her face was gloomy, and there was a hint of cruelty in her eyes.

She brought these people with her, only consuming some dry food on the way, and continued on her way, without resting at night. Behind her, on the left and right were Ye Yi who had followed her before and Pan Bao, the leader of the five hundred secret guards.

"Miss, we are almost catching up with the fleet now, you can take a rest." Ye Yi said with concern.

"No, wait until we catch up before you rest."

"Yes"

"Gee!" Liu Qingxiu pulled the horse again and increased the speed.

"Gee!" The people following behind also sped up. She didn't expect that the five hundred secret guards Lai Gong left for her were all equipped with horses, which really made it easier for her to catch up this time.
