The mistress is mighty, bringing 88 dowries to flatten the Marquis's mansion

As soon as Tang Ruyun opened her mouth, she was stopped by Ruan Shuyan.

She shook her head gently at Tang Ruyun, and then said calmly, "Your Highness is joking. She is just worried about your safety, and has no other intentions."

The Seventh Princess smiled, but if you looked closely, you would find that her eyes were cold.

"I don't care about other things. Just answer what I asked. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude."

Even Ruan Shuyan did not expect that the Seventh Princess of Qi would speak so viciously.

After a brief pause, Ruan Shuyan smiled slightly: "Your Highness is right, but it's a pity that we don't know where the Thirteenth Princess has gone."

The Seventh Princess narrowed her eyes and suddenly looked at Ruan Shuyan.

Just when Ruan Shuyan thought that the Seventh Princess was about to say something, she turned around and left.

Tang Ruyun stared at her back: "Madam, why were you so polite to her just now? It's just..."

"That's the princess."

Ruan Shuyan emphasized the last two words. She didn't know the reason for Tang Ruyun's dominance, but it was not a good thing for them to confront the Seventh Princess.

Tang Ruyun opened his mouth and finally sighed: "I know."

After saying this, she turned and left.

Ruan Shuyan frowned slightly. She always felt that Tang Ruyun was weird, but she quickly suppressed the weirdness and returned to Xie Yuchun.

"what happened?"

Xie Yuchun noticed her abnormality almost instantly and asked in a low voice.

Ruan Shuyan shook her head gently: "Nothing."

As they were speaking, Nalan Jinxiu stood in front of the two of them.

Before Ruan Shuyan could speak, Nalan Jinxiu pointed at her and said, "Come out with me."

Xie Yuchun said calmly, "It is inconvenient for my wife to go out with the princess."

Nalan Jinxiu snorted: "She just met with the Seventh Princess of Qi and offended her."

Ruan Shuyan's lips twitched slightly: "I just said a few words to the Seventh Princess. If this is considered an offense, then are the people of Qi too petty?"

Nalan Jinxiu's eyes widened: "Ruan Shuyan, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course I know, but I am telling the truth. If Your Highness feels there is a problem, I don't mind mentioning it to the Emperor."

Nalan Jinxiu's face darkened instantly.

Obviously, she didn't dare let Ruan Shuyan go before her father.

No matter what the situation is, her father will not allow anyone to show weakness in front of Qi.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has come to see us."

At this moment, Ruan Shuyan suddenly reminded him and gestured to Nalan Jinxiu to look behind.

Nalan Jinxiu's body froze. She didn't dare to look back, for fear of meeting the eyes of the person above her.

Ruan Shuyan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Your Highness..."

"Humph!"

Nalan Jinxiu left immediately.

Xie Yuchun, who had been silent the whole time, raised his lips and asked, "Why did you think of scaring her?"

That's right, the emperor didn't even look here.

Ruan Shuyan coughed lightly: "If you don't scare me, you won't be able to get rid of Princess Thirteen."

The two looked at each other, and Ruan Shuyan looked away again. She knew what Xie Yuchun wanted to say.

"Nothing really happened just now."

Xie Yuchun sighed: "I don't mean to blame you, but the Seventh Princess of Qi is not an easy person to get along with."

Ruan Shuyan listened and looked more inquiring: "Does my husband know the Seventh Princess well?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a strange look on Xie Yuchun's face.

After a while, Xie Yuchun sighed and said, "I have met her before, so I don't know her very well. I just know that she is very difficult to deal with and her methods are very cruel. If she targets you, it will not be a good thing."

Ruan Shuyan narrowed her eyes slightly, recalling the scene of the meeting just now, and did not think that she would be targeted.

"My husband, you worry too much. I'm not at the point where she would target me."

Xie Yuchun nodded and didn't say much about it.

Not long after, the emperor and empress left, leaving behind a few princes to receive the envoys from Qi.

At that time, Ruan Shuyan and Xie Yuchun also left Qingfeng Tower.

Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, I heard a scream behind me.

"Catch assassins!"

what?

A noisy sound came from above. Ruan Shuyan and Xie Yuchun looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

The emperor and empress are gone, what's the point of sending assassins from Qingfeng Tower?

"careful!"

At this moment, Xie Yuchun's pupils shrank, and he hugged Ruan Shuyan and hid to the side.

With a "bang", a body fell where Ruan Shuyan had just stood.

The body was covered in blood, but judging by the clothes, he was from the State of Qi.

Ruan Shuyan took a deep breath, her face turning pale uncontrollably: "Husband, up there..."

Xie Yuchun tightened his arms: "Get in the carriage first."

No matter what happens above, he must ensure Ruan Shuyan's safety.

It was also at this time that Ruan Shuyan realized that she was still in Xie Yuchun's arms.

But soon, the two separated, one got on the carriage and the other returned to Qingfeng Tower.

"Miss, are we leaving now?"

Chuntao asked with a worried look on her face, and looked out through the gap in the car window from time to time.

In just a moment, the surroundings were filled with the smell of blood. Ruan Shuyan lowered her head and said nothing.

Chuntao opened her mouth but dared not say anything else.

After a while, the door of the carriage was pushed open.

Xie Yuchun, covered in blood, leaned in and said with rapid breathing, "Get out of the car and leave quickly!"

Ruan Shuyan came to her senses and immediately grabbed Xie Yuchun's hand and jumped off the carriage. She looked around and saw people running everywhere.

"Run, run!"

"The assassin is about to catch up, run!"

"Help, help me, I don't want to die!"

The crowd gathered together and many people fell to the ground as they pushed and shoved each other.

Ruan Shuyan was dragged by Xie Yuchun to run in the opposite direction of the crowd. Behind them, Huang Qing and Chuntao followed closely, fearing that they would be thrown away if they were not careful.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Suddenly, there was a louder scream from behind.

Ruan Shuyan turned her head and saw dozens of men in black rushing out of Qingfeng Tower. Every time they swung their knives, they would take a life.

The already chaotic crowd became even more chaotic at this moment.

Ruan Shuyan's face turned pale: "Husband, behind..."

Xie Yuchun kept walking: "We can't even protect ourselves anymore."

Yes, they can’t even protect themselves, how can they care about others?

Ruan Shuyan gritted her teeth and dared not look back, but followed Xie Yuchun with all her heart.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before they were away from Qingfeng Tower and the chaos behind them.

Ruan Shuyan supported her knee with one hand and asked breathlessly, "What happened in Qingfeng Tower?"

Xie Yuchun shook his head slightly: "I don't know. Those assassins didn't have a clear target at all."

Ruan Shuyan lowered her eyes: "Where are the imperial guards? Where did they go?"

Just then, the sound of horse hooves passed by.

"Gee, gee, gee—"

Ruan Shuyan was surprised: "Was that... the Imperial Guards?"
