When the carriage entered a remote mountain road, five or six men in black suddenly emerged from the bushes and woods on both sides, each holding a machete.

"We are Prime Minister Yan's servants. What...what do you want to do?" a servant shouted in a trembling voice.

The men in black ignored the servants' shouts and continued to move closer to the carriage.

The old woman in the carriage was so frightened that her face turned pale. She pulled open the rear curtain of the carriage, jumped out and ran in the direction she came from.

A man in black threw the knife in his hand, stabbing the old woman through and she fell to the ground and died on the spot.

Yan Shaorun saw this scene through the gap in the car curtain and was trembling with fear. He hugged his brother tightly and whispered to him not to make any sound. He looked around the car, trying to find a way to hide.

The man in black approached the carriage and hacked the coachman to death with a knife.

Before the two servants could even make a move with their knives, the men in black chopped off their heads.

Blood splattered on the carriage curtain. Yan Shaorun clenched his teeth tightly, his tearful eyes filled with despair.

He buried his brother's head in his chest, not wanting his brother to see this horrible scene.

Just as the leading man in black was about to lift the curtain of the carriage, two eagles suddenly swooped down from the sky. One of them knocked the knife out of the man in black's hand with its claws, while the other pecked his eyes with its sharp beak.

A huge sharp force pierced the eyeball, and blood spurted out from the eye socket. The leading man in black covered his eyes and screamed.

The other five men in black immediately raised their swords and chopped at the two eagles, but the eagles were very agile and quickly flew high into the sky.

At this moment, Gu Qinghuai and Cui Shishi arrived at the scene. Neither of them was wearing a mask, because these six killers must die today!

Cui Shishi held a big knife in her hand and started fighting with the man in black.

Gu Qinghuai took out a miniature crossbow coated with poison and shot directly at the men in black, first shooting the blind man in black to death, then shooting down two more, and finally taking out a Tang sword, and together with Cui Shishi, they dealt with the last two.

In order to prevent an ambush, Gu Qinghuai asked Baishou and Baiwei to scout the area carefully and kill any man in black immediately if they found him.

Gu Qinghuai walked to the carriage, opened the curtain, and saw two children hugging each other tightly and trembling like leaves.

Gu Qinghuai felt a pang of pain in her heart. She smiled friendly and said softly, "You are Shaorun and Shaoze, right? I am your mother's friend. I am here to save you. Come, follow your aunt. I will take you to see your mother."

Looking at Gu Qinghuai's smile, Yan Shaorun's nervous mood relaxed a little, but he still didn't dare to completely trust Gu Qinghuai.

Because, I don’t know since when, my mother has no friends, except Aunt Chujiu, she doesn’t have any friends at all.

My mother stayed in that small courtyard every day and never went out.

Gu Qinghuai took out two hot meat buns from his backpack and continued to seduce them gently, "Are you hungry? Come, have some delicious meat buns."

Yan Shaorun and Yan Shaoze were indeed very hungry. They had not had a drop of water since they woke up in the morning until now, which should be afternoon.

Yan Shaoze drooled and stretched out his little hand, but was slapped down by Yan Shaorun.

Yan Shaoze pursed his lips in grievance but didn't dare to cry.

Yan Shaorun said timidly: "Thank you, auntie, we are not hungry."

Gu Qinghuai laughed. This little guy was very alert, which was a good thing.

Gu Qinghuai broke off a small piece from each bun and put it into his mouth in front of Yan Shaorun. "Look, auntie has eaten it all. It's not poisonous. Eat it quickly. If you don't eat it, you will faint from hunger and won't be able to see your mother again."

Yan Shaorun swallowed his saliva, then took the buns and gave one to his brother and one to himself.

The two little ones started to eat voraciously.

Gu Qinghuai took out two more bottles of milk, opened the caps, and handed them to them, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Cui Shishi had already searched the corpse, taking away all the valuables, even the gold teeth.

The horse pulling the carriage was confiscated by Gu Qinghuai.

Gu Qinghuai fed the horse a strength pill and a pet intelligence pill. Even if the Yan family recognized the horse, they could not take it back.

After the two little guys had eaten and drunk their fill, Gu Qinghuai carried them on Chi Yan's back and immediately returned to the imperial capital.

Originally, Gu Qinghuai and Cui Shishi planned to hold one child each, but Yan Shaorun refused to be separated from his brother, so Gu Qinghuai had to put them both on his horse.

It was already dusk when they returned to the imperial capital. Gu Qinghuai took the two children directly to Prince Yi's Palace.

Prince Yi saw Gu Qinghuai dressed in black and with two children, so he asked, "What are you doing? Who are these two guys?" Gu Qinghuai held Yan Shaoze in his arms, holding Yan Shaorun in his hand, and walked directly to the hall, "Let's talk inside."

Prince Yi: ...

Why did he feel that this woman entering his house was like entering her own home?

When did Qi Jingyi become so easy to talk to?

What’s even more infuriating is that he didn’t lose his temper? !

Prince Yi followed Gu Qinghuai into the front hall with deep self-doubt and contempt.

After sitting down, Gu Qinghuai said directly: "Your Highness, these are the eldest princess's two children, Yan Shaorun and Yan Shaoze. The Yan family wanted to send them away today, but they were intercepted by men in black on the way. If I hadn't been out on business and happened to encounter them, the two children would probably have been killed. Minister Yan has sensed the changes in the court situation and wants to completely give up the eldest princess of Leyang. Prince Yi, what do you think about this matter?"

Prince Yi was stunned for a moment, and soon anger appeared on his face, "Where is Yan Nanbai? Didn't he say that he would protect Le Yang and the child?"

Also, where were the secret guards he sent? Such a big thing happened, but they didn't even come to report to him!

Gu Qinghuai sneered: "The Yan family has forcibly sent Yan Nanbai to southern Xinjiang. It seems that they want to slowly kill Princess Leyang!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Yan Shaorun's eyes showed fear, and then the corners of his eyes turned red, and his two little fists clenched tighter and tighter.

Prince Yi was furious: "This Prime Minister Yan is really good at changing his attitude according to the situation! Le Yang is a daughter of my royal family, how dare the Yan family treat her child like this! Sihe! Bring your people and follow me to the Yan Mansion to pick up Le Yang and bring her back to the palace!"

Gu Qinghuai was delighted and deliberately provoked, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of Princess Leyang's current situation and status? Aren't you afraid that someone will frame you for being in cahoots with the deposed crown prince? Aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame you? Aren't you afraid of offending the Third Prince and Consort Shu?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Yi took a deep look at Gu Qinghuai and snorted coldly, "The crime is not for a married woman! Le Yang was pardoned by the emperor! I want to see who wants to frame a brother who has taken the knife for the emperor countless times!"

Good job!

Prince Yi, you still have some blood in your veins. This county lady takes back all her contempt for you.

Gu Qinghuai smiled and said, "I wish Your Highness a successful start. I will stay in the palace to take care of the two children and hand them over to the princess personally. However, Prince Yi, please do not tell outsiders that it was me who saved the two children, so as not to cause trouble."

"I'm not a fool!" Prince Yi glanced at Gu Qinghuai.
