After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country
Chapter 301: Borrowing Troops to Suppress Bandits
At the same time, the news of the misfortunes suffered by the He and Wang families quickly spread throughout Tongzhou City.
Everyone was talking about it, and there were rumors that the bandits on the mountain outside the city were extremely brutal and cruel, and they even dared to come directly into the city and attack the He and Wang families.
It is a blessing in disguise that He Ji and Wang Tao luckily avoided the catastrophe because they happened not to be at home.
Let’s talk about He Ji. As an official in the government office, he usually eats and wears clothes in the government office. This is normal and there is nothing special about it.
However, Wang Tao has been stationed in Yongguan all year round, doing his duty conscientiously and safeguarding the peace of the area.
Only because Tongzhou is relatively close can he go home every six months to visit his elderly mother, wife and daughter.
Unexpectedly, when he returned this time, Wang Tao, who was originally full of joy, saw that his home had become a ruin, and his mother, wife and daughter had all been murdered.
Such a tragic situation made him feel heartbroken. How could he live in peace?
Although their families had already moved elsewhere, they were now just putting on a show in front of the people of Tongzhou.
But the crying was so sincere and moved many of the people watching around.
Faced with the innocent and tragic deaths of their relatives, He Ji and Wang Tao were filled with grief and indignation, and resolutely decided to ask the prince for orders, vowing to wipe out the brutal bandits and avenge their dead family members.
To the people of Tongzhou, this move was reasonable and beyond reproach.
When they arrived to visit and explained their purpose, Xuan Yemin's face instantly turned extremely ugly, as if he was about to lose his composure.
He has always been good at disguising himself and likes to put on some pretentious and superficial work.
If the two men had not cried so loudly when they came, attracting half of the city's people to watch, he would probably have been murderous and executed the two traitors on the spot.
However, at this moment, the He family and the Wang family are at the center of the storm and are attracting worldwide attention.
Ordinary people would not care about all those intrigues and deceptions!
They would only become terrified and live in a state of panic all day long when they heard that bandits had sneaked into the city and were burning, killing and looting.
"This king is willing to give you two some manpower to help you avenge your family."
Xuan Yemin tried hard to suppress the rage burning in his heart and said in a deep voice: "However, I am only an idle prince living in a remote corner after all. I have no army, only a few secret guards for you to command, plus the government soldiers, which should be enough."
He Ji and Wang Tao were naturally grateful, and happily left the palace with the ten secret guards given by the prince.
Before the two of them left, Xuan Yemin did not forget to threaten them a few times, "I'm giving the people to you, but you must completely eradicate those bandits within three days. If not, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Although he said this, in fact, he had already secretly planned to bury these two people in the mountains.
After all, these were people sent out by himself. Couldn't he handle just two of them?
He Ji and Wang Tao naturally expressed their gratitude for this gift. After expressing their gratitude profusely, they spared no effort to spread the news in the city to demonstrate the prince's benevolence and generosity.
Immediately afterwards, they left the city with the group of skilled secret guards given by Xuan Yemin and many soldiers from the government office.
The drug used by He Xiang was a secret medicine carefully prepared by An Ning. Its power was beyond imagination. Even if the person who took the drug woke up, the effect of the drug had not completely subsided.
So when Yuehua slowly woke up, she felt soft and weak all over, as if all her strength had been drained away.
She struggled to get up, but her body felt as heavy as a thousand-pound burden and could not obey her commands at all.
At this moment, Yuehua just woke up from her dream and realized that she had been drugged. An indescribable panic suddenly surged in her heart.
When she recalled what happened before she fell into a coma, her doubts grew deeper.
Why did the Second Miss's personal maid, who was always with her, show up in Prince Yu's Mansion?
What is even more strange is why the princess and the concubine would follow He Xiang and leave Prince Yu's Mansion?
These questions were like a fog that shrouded Yuehua's heart, leaving her puzzled.
Although Yuehua was still a little dizzy at the moment, the subtle details that had been ignored before now emerged more and more clearly in her mind...
For example, both are daughters of the richest man's family, but the second daughter only cares about pursuing pleasure all day long.
But what is incredible is that there are actually eight people following her closely and serving her attentively, and those eight people all came from the imperial capital to have children.
On the other hand, the eldest daughter, who was regarded as the successor of the family, was all alone. Before she arrived at the Yu Mansion, she didn't even have a personal servant by her side.
This really makes no sense!
Even if it is such a major event as moving the entire family from the imperial city to here, it should not be arranged like this!
She had been in the Jade Mansion for nearly three months, but she had never seen the legendary Third Master once. It was really strange.
Plus, the time when the Jade Mansion appeared in Tongzhou was really too coincidental, wasn’t it?
The more Yuehua thought about it, the more anxious and upset she became.
At first, he didn't feel anything unusual, but after thinking about it carefully, he was shocked to find that this Jade Mansion, from the master to the servants, was filled with an indescribable weird atmosphere everywhere.
Especially the eldest lady, who always confronts the eldest young master, and the second lady always follows the eldest lady to tease the eldest young master.
But the strange thing is that the eldest young master is not angry at all. Instead, he seems to be afraid of the second young lady.
Even when talking to her, there was a hint of respect in his words.
The same is true for the eldest daughter. Although she seems to get along well with the second daughter on the surface, one can still detect a hint of respect in the way she looks at the second daughter.
As for the three masters, although she had never seen the third master, the eldest lady always showed respect in her words and actions when she met the first and second masters.
In this situation, it was as if they were not relatives who had lived together for more than ten years, but rather like a superior and subordinates who followed orders carefully.
At first, Yuehua thought that this was the family tradition of the Yu family, but this concept changed last night.
She could clearly sense that He Xiang was skilled in martial arts, and her martial arts skills were far superior to hers, and the difference was by no means just a hair's breadth.
Perhaps, she was the one who attempted to assassinate the prince before. Then who ordered her to do so?
Could it be the Second Young Miss? Or... the mysterious Third Master?
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and He Yuehuan walked in with some food.
