The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

The banquet was over and it was already dark. Everyone walked out of the palace.

As soon as Qin Rubing and his companions reached the palace gate, Wu Lijuan's personal maid ran over.

"General, my young lady wants to invite Miss Qin Er to get on our carriage. They want to talk in private."

After Qin Zhong agreed, Qin Yurou left happily.

"Can you do it on your own?" Lin Shuya looked at Qin Rubing with some concern.

"Don't worry, Mom and Dad. You can go first. I'm fine." Qin Rubing was calm as usual.

Qin Zhong and Lin Shuya could only pretend nothing happened and got on their carriage.

More than twenty carriages parked in front of the gate of Yongle Palace drove away one after another.

Qin Rubing had just gotten into the carriage when a maid suddenly ran out from Yongle Palace and grabbed Zhuxiang who was about to get into the carriage.

"Miss, I just found a jade hairpin when I was cleaning the banquet hall. It looks like it was worn by your eldest daughter."

Zhuxiang glanced at the jade hairpin in the nanny's hand and said, "This is definitely not my young lady's."

But the maid didn't let go. Instead, she said anxiously, "Let your daughter take a look. It's not good to lose such a valuable thing."

"I said no." Zhuxiang also became anxious.

The two pushed each other back and forth, becoming entangled for a while.

"Zhuxiang, get in the car!" Qin Rubing lifted the curtain, stuck her head out and said loudly.

The nanny was startled and stunned for a moment.

Zhuxiang quickly jumped onto the carriage and Zhuzi drove away immediately.

After such a delay, the other carriages had gone far away and Qin Rubing's carriage was the last one to fall behind.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Qin Rubing's carriage turned from Yongding Road onto Huayang Street and headed north.

The driver Zhuzi drove the cart slowly and seemed a little sleepy.

On the west side of the road is the Prince's Palace, and on the east side is the Prince of Yan's Palace. The walls on both sides are more than two people high.

There are no other houses on this road. There are few people walking during the day, and there is no passerby at night.

It was unusually quiet tonight, even the night patrol soldiers from Jingzhao Prefecture were nowhere to be seen.

Apart from the sound of horse hooves in the carriage Qin Rubing was riding in, there was no other sound.

Suddenly, five masked men in black appeared in the middle of the road ahead, each holding a long sword in their hands, which flashed coldly in the moonlight.

Zhuzi was startled and suddenly pulled the reins tight to stop the carriage.

Just as the man in black took half a step forward, Zhuzi threw away his whip, jumped off the carriage, turned around and ran away.

One of the men in black was about to chase him, but was stopped by the leader with a gesture, who whispered, "Don't worry about him, business is more important."

Several people slowly approached the carriage.

At this time, Yan, who was lying on the west wall of Prince Yan's Mansion, tilted his head and gestured to ask: "Master, shall we take action now?"

Chu Tiancheng pursed his lips and shook his head.

Zuo Qingyun on the side whispered: "It would be unexpected if he was eliminated so soon."

After a while, he added: "I am optimistic about Miss Qin."

There was no emotion in Chu Tiancheng's eyes.

A man in black, who was walking in front, boarded the carriage, lifted the curtain, and seeing that it was pitch black inside, he leaned in to check.

"Thump", the man fell headfirst without even a sound, half of his body lying inside the carriage, and the other half hanging outside.

The others didn't dare to move forward for a moment.

Chu Tiancheng and Zuo Qingyun looked at each other.

"Let's take another look." He frowned and suddenly felt something was wrong.

The few men in black below hesitated for a while, and then one of them stepped forward. This man directly raised his sword, opened the curtain and got into the carriage.

"Plop", the sound was louder than before, and it seemed that the whole person fell into the carriage.

There were still three people left outside. The leader winked and the three of them rushed onto the carriage together.

Bang, bang, bang, it seems like all of them have fallen down.

None of the people on the wall moved.

After a while, the contact person came over. After checking, he hurriedly carried the fallen man in black away.

Only the lonely carriage was left.

"Yan Yi!" Chu Tiancheng called softly.

Yan Yi understood, climbed down the wall, covered his mouth and nose, lifted the curtain to take a look, and quickly returned.

"Master, there is no one in the carriage, but there is a smell of incense."

"Haha, what did I say? This young master has high hopes for Miss Qin." Zuo Qingyun closed his folding fan, turned over and jumped into the palace courtyard, "Go back to sleep."

"Go find out where Miss Qin has gone." Chu Tiancheng ordered Yan Yi.

Taoran Garden.

"Oh, that was a close call. Fortunately, the young lady is smart." Zhuxiang was filled with fear after listening to Zhuzi telling Qin Rubing in vivid detail what happened on Huayang Street.

In fact, as soon as they got on the carriage, Qin Rubing and Zhu Xiang changed into civilian clothes. Before the carriage turned into Huayang Street, they quietly got off the carriage and took a detour back to the General's Mansion.

Qin Rubing lit a stick of incense containing a powerful aphrodisiac in the carriage, and knocked down several people who got in.

Zhuzi looked proud, "Five men came towards me with swords in hand, and I didn't hesitate at all, I just ran away. No one dared to chase me."

"You're awesome!" Zhuxiang gave Zhuzi a thumbs up.

"Oh, boring!" Qin Rubing waved her hand. "You are so stupid, yet you still want to fight with me? Where do you get the confidence? Go to bed."

The study room of Prince Yan's Mansion.

Yan Yi came in and reported: "Miss Qin, the maid, and the coachman all returned to the General's Mansion half an hour ago."

"Who did it?" Chu Tiancheng asked.

"It's the prince." Yan Yi replied, "The secret guards waiting at the back door of the prince's mansion reported that an incense stick ago, they saw seven or eight men in black entering the prince's mansion, five of whom were carrying people on their backs."

Chu Tiancheng narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the prince was still worried that General Qin would become his helper because of his daughter.

Thinking that Qin Rubing was implicated by him after all, Chu Tiancheng ordered:

"Send two people to infiltrate the General's Mansion and protect Miss Qin inside the mansion. Send two more skilled martial artists to wait outside the mansion. If Miss Qin goes out, they will be responsible for following and protecting her."

"Yes." Yan Yi stepped back.

It was past midnight, and the light was still on in the study of the Prince's Mansion, but no one was inside.

In the dark room behind the bookshelf, there were more than a dozen people kneeling.

"Waste!" Chu Tianxing had been cursing for half an hour.

Finally, he shouted to the whole room, "Everyone who went on a mission today will be punished with thirty lashes of the cane."

A dozen people quickly retreated.

Chu Tianxing pinched his forehead. It was a real headache.

He glanced at Li Yong, the personal guard who was still kneeling on the ground: "Send a few capable people to keep a close eye on Qin Rubing day and night. I want to know her every move!"

"Yes." Just as Li Yong was about to leave, Chu Tianxing called him back and quickly wrote a note, "Send it to Qi Siyue after daybreak."

After everyone left, Chu Tianxing threw the teacup hard to the ground.

"Qin Rubing, good, very good. You dare to play tricks on me? Just wait and see!"
