Last night, Princess Jianing received a dagger she had always wanted from the Queen. She was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep at midnight, and Li Yu stayed with her the whole time.

So both of them were a little sleepy today. After getting on the carriage, they fell into a deep sleep soon.

The car was shaking, and Li Yu, half asleep and half awake, suddenly heard a loud noise, accompanied by the car turning strangely.

She suddenly woke up.

Beside her, Princess Jianing was still asleep. Qingbi was in a daze, not knowing what had happened.

The noise outside was getting louder and louder. Li Yu no longer cared about etiquette and pulled open the car curtain with force.

The next moment, her pupils suddenly shrank.

*

I saw dozens of people in black breaking into the team.

Their target should be the Queen and the Crown Princess, and they went straight to the car they were riding in.

The accompanying guards and secret guards are fighting against them.

As for Li Yu and Princess Jianing, there were also a few men in black, and the secret guards accompanying Prince An's mansion jumped out and fought with them.

Looking behind the carriage, there were also some scattered men in black.

For fear of accidents, Li Yu shook Qingbi with one hand and Princess Jianing with the other.

Princess Jianing slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw Li Yu's face, she chuckled, "Have we reached the capital yet?"

"No." Li Yu helped her sit up and lifted the car curtain to let her look outside.

Princess Jianing shuddered and lost all sleepiness.

"Princess, there are men in black outside. Let's try to sit inside to avoid causing trouble for the guards."

Princess Jianing was silent for a moment and nodded.

*

Three people sat in the carriage, looking at the situation outside through the curtains.

The men in black came with great force and kept hovering around the carriages of the Queen and the Crown Princess, but the guards were no pushovers and fought back and forth with them.

On their side, some of the secret guards helped the Queen and the Crown Princess, and after killing the men in black, four of them were left to guard the carriage, while the rest went to the rear to help fight the remaining men in black.

The sound of weapons striking and the neighing of horses continued incessantly. Li Yu listened and tried to calm himself down.

When the Queen travels, Emperor Tianyuan has sent countless experts to protect her, so nothing will happen to her.

*

Just as Li Yu thought, nothing would go wrong.

A quarter of an hour later, as the last man in black escaped, everyone was safe.

Because some guards were killed or injured, everyone stopped to rest.

Li Yu and Princess Jianing got off the car together and went to pay their respects to the Queen and the Crown Princess.

"I am fine, but I have made you suffer this time." The Queen said, "When we return to the palace, I will ask His Majesty to investigate this matter carefully."

Everyone praised the Queen for her wisdom.

At this time, Princess An asked, "Is the Crown Princess feeling unwell?"

Li Yu looked at the Crown Princess, only then she realized that she looked pale and slightly sick.

The Crown Princess nodded and said, "Nothing, I just need to take a rest."

The queen loved this daughter-in-law the most and was afraid that something might happen to her, so she hurriedly said, "Hurry up and ask the imperial physician to take a look."

*

The Crown Princess's personal physician, Doctor Qi, hurried over carrying a medicine box.

Everyone stepped aside to watch him feel the Crown Princess's pulse.

Because Princess Jianing wanted to stand with Princess An, Li Yu stood with her behind the Crown Princess and looked down at the imperial physician.

As he watched, Li Yu suddenly realized something was wrong.

After a few days in the palace, she met every imperial physician and remembered their appearances clearly.

The person in front of her was said to be Doctor Qi, but he was a little different from the Doctor Qi she had seen before. For example, Doctor Qi's hairline was not so high.

Even if a person is experiencing hair loss, the hairline will not reach this level in just a few days.

This shouldn't be Doctor Qi.

With alarm bells ringing in his heart, Li Yu didn't have time to think too much. He grabbed the Crown Princess' arm and pulled her back.

She moved quickly and Princess Jianing didn't have time to react, so she staggered.

The other people at the scene were also confused by her behavior and looked at her.

Li Yu didn't bother to explain too much, and pointed at the doctor who had just come back to his senses and said, "He is not Doctor Qi, he is fake."

Some ladies and noble girls cried out in shock, and everyone stepped back in panic. The guards quickly jumped in front of the queen to protect her.

*

"Empress, Crown Princess, I am Qi Ming. Don't you recognize me?" Imperial Doctor Qi lay on the ground in panic, with deep grievance in his eyes.

The Queen narrowed her eyes and looked at the Crown Princess after a while.

Li Yu helped the Crown Princess to stand up and watched her stare at the imperial physician.

Doctor Qi: "Princess, I have been checking your pulse every day. You must recognize me."

The Crown Princess looked at him for a moment and nodded slowly.

The person in front of you is Doctor Qi.

Considering that Li Yu was Princess Jianing's friend, the Crown Princess asked softly, "Madam Li, did you see it wrong?"

Li Yu stared at Doctor Qi for a while and said, "I think I am not mistaken. Since the man kneeling on the ground says he is Doctor Qi, how about bringing a basin of water and letting him wash his face in public?"

After saying this, Li Yu noticed that Doctor Qi's face changed and became dark and gloomy.

She became more certain of her thoughts.

Next to them, the Crown Princess listened to Li Yu's words and exchanged glances with the Queen.

The queen nodded.

The Crown Princess then ordered someone to bring water.

"It's not that I don't trust Doctor Qi, but now everyone has doubts about your identity, so you can give it a try. As long as you are still Doctor Qi, I will let Madam Li apologize to you. How about that?"

Doctor Qi prostrated himself on the ground and responded in a low voice.

*

Clean water was quickly delivered.

Although Doctor Qi was an old man, he was a respectable man. So when he was washing his face, the ladies of various families, Princess Jianing, and Li Yu stepped back together.

Only the guards circled around him.

Li Yu looked at him from a distance, without blinking.

The other ladies and noble girls were not very familiar with Doctor Qi, and they privately thought that Li Yu might have made a mistake. There were only a few doctors accompanying them, and if there was any change in Doctor Qi, they would have noticed it quickly, instead of the current situation.

*

Everyone was muttering and staring at the person surrounded by the guards.

Just as Doctor Qi bent down and his hand was about to touch the water, a dagger suddenly appeared in his hand.

Then he jumped up and ran towards where Li Yu and the others were standing.

Everyone was shocked and tried to avoid it.

Li Yu pulled the Crown Princess and Princess Jianing back together.

However, this fake Doctor Qi was a formidable expert. With just a few strikes, he injured the guards of Li Yu and his companions.

Just as he was about to get closer, the secret guard finally arrived.

Several secret guards surrounded the fake Qi doctor again. One of them kicked the dagger, while the others restrained him from behind and from the side.

Li Yu and his companions took advantage of this opportunity and continued to retreat under the protection of other guards.

*

One punch cannot beat four hands, not to mention there are many guards in the whole team. After a while, the fake Doctor Qi was subdued and pressed to the ground.

Fearing something might happen, the queen did not order him to be tried immediately, but instead had him locked up.

As for them, return to Beijing immediately.

Not knowing if there is any more danger ahead, it would be better for them to return to the capital as soon as possible.

As for the injured guards, if they can walk, they will go with them. If they are seriously injured and cannot walk, they will find a place to stay nearby and wait for people from the capital to pick them up.

*

In the second half of the journey, the secret guards from Prince An's Mansion and the Imperial Palace no longer hid their tracks, but followed the carriage.

When they were almost reaching the capital, the Crown Princess invited Li Yu and Princess Jianing to get into her carriage.
