The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Chapter 314 Someone Doesn’t Want Her to Return Alive

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking to Ping'an, he rode his horse quickly to the front to explore the way.

Ping'an seemed to still hear the instructions His Highness had just given. As expected, whoever offended His Highness would be skinned alive if not killed. However, this could not be blamed entirely on His Highness. It was His Highness Prince Li who had set his sights on the Xiang family.

If this matter were to reach the ears of the Empress, His Royal Highness Prince Li would probably die early.

After all, the Empress has the final say in the harem. It is not difficult to execute a concubine who has given birth to a prince for any reason, even if it is brought directly to the attention of His Majesty.

Ping'an took the prince's instructions to heart and looked back to see where Grand Tutor Li and Cheng Zhao's horses were.

Liang Chongyue was walking in front, traveling under the stars and the moon. They had not left the mountains yet, and they might encounter some wild animals on the road. Liang Chongyue explored the road ahead for a while and then stopped to wait for them to catch up before continuing.

Fortunately, nothing happened on the way back that slowed down the journey. Even the time was under Liang Chongyue's control. When they arrived at the first imperial farm outside Beijing, the familiar carriage was already waiting there.

When the coachman saw Her Royal Highness the Princess riding towards him, he immediately drove the carriage to meet her.

Liang Chongyue dismounted and went straight into the carriage. After putting the sword box away, she changed out of her extremely dirty clothes and put back into her exquisite dress. However, there was still a bit of smell on her body, probably because there was blood on her hair.

But it was too late to deal with it now. Liang Chongyue took off the purple gold crown on his head, let his hair down, and casually put on a few jade hairpins. After everything was packed up, Liang Chongyue got off the carriage, and the others waited five meters away.

Liang Chongyue glanced over and his eyes fell on the wound on Ping An's neck. He returned to the carriage, took out a piece of cloth, and called Ping An over.

"Don't rush back home. If I remember correctly, Grandfather should be patrolling the suburbs of Beijing at this time today. Go find him and ask him to meet you in his study at midnight tonight. Remember, this matter can only be discussed with Grandfather, no one else."

"Send these two horses back to where they came from."

It’s not that Liang Chongyue is unwilling to trust others, but the Xiang family is still under the control of his grandfather, so he can only be the one to be approached about this matter.

After hearing this, Ping'an tied the cloth strip around his neck, nodded solemnly to His Highness, and left with the two horses.

The horse that Liang Chongyue had just ridden did not need Ping'an to hold the reins. It would follow on its own as long as Ping'an gave the order.

After Liang Chongyue gave Ping An his instructions, he turned to look at Li Yu'an.

In order not to scare others along the way, Cheng Zhao wrapped his whole body with black cloth before leaving the mountain. This outfit could be worn outside the capital, but entering the city would be harder than climbing to the sky.

"Chengzhao cannot enter the city now. I will take good care of him, Your Highness. Don't worry."

Li Yu'an spoke at this time, and Liang Chongyue no longer cared about it. He nodded at him and turned to get on the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, he instructed the driver:

"Go home."

The carriage moved slowly. Liang Chongyue sat in the carriage, drinking tea leisurely and looking through the information provided by the system.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

Even Li Yu'an's people could find where Liang Chong'an kept his troops, but she couldn't.

Liang Chongyue took a sip of the cold milk tea. It had a familiar taste, probably prepared by Yunling.

Liang Chongyue took two sips and realized something was wrong. Something had been adulterated in the tea.

She is now immune to all poisons, but that doesn't mean she can't taste them.

Liang Chongyue glanced at the rich-colored milk tea and saw that there was no difference in color.

Liang Chongyue then slowly drank the milk tea in the cup and finally tasted what was in it.

It seems that someone doesn't want her to return safely, so Liang Chongyue directly contacted the system:

"Someone is trying to assassinate this princess. The driver has been replaced. It should be Liang Chongan who did it. Go and investigate."

Liang Chongyue was about to hang up when she heard the other party speak anxiously:

"Host, host, Chi Rong is here to pick you up. He should meet the carriage you're riding in. Please be careful."

Liang Chongyue listened to the system and directly lifted the curtain. At this time, they were still in the suburbs of Beijing. The driver did not notice her action of lifting the curtain. He must have thought that she would not be able to find the difference.

Or maybe he thought she must have fainted.

Liang Chongyue directly put the sword box into his backpack, used a sword to open the curtain on the other side, and paid attention to the movements along the way.

Sure enough, after Liang Chongyue heard the sound of a carriage, he soon saw an inconspicuous carriage coming from the direction of the city gate.

Even though the driver sitting in front had his face covered with a cloth, Liang Chongyue could still see at a glance that the pair of deep eyes belonged to Chi Rong.

Liang Chongyue put away his sword, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and exposed his face to the sunlight.

Chi Rong is an extremely skilled martial artist, and no movement around him can escape his sight.

As soon as she exposed her face, she noticed that the familiar eyes seemed to be grown on her face.

Liang Chongyue saw a flash of confusion and surprise in Chi Rong's eyes, but these expressions disappeared the next second.

Liang Chongyue winked at Chi Rong playfully and put her finger to her mouth to make a hushing gesture.

Although Chi Rong didn't understand what His Highness was doing, he sensed something was wrong and deliberately slowed down the carriage, wanting to follow behind the carriage in which His Highness was sitting.

Liang Chongyue waved at Chi Rong, signaling him to leave first. Soon, because of the sound of Chi Rong driving the carriage, Liang Chongyue felt the coachman move a little, as if he sat a little to the side, wanting to observe the movement behind.

Liang Chongyue quickly lowered the curtain. Chi Rong was worried. They had just reached a fork in the road, so he obeyed the prince's words and drove the carriage to the other side.

When leaving, Chi Rong did not forget to look back at what the coachman in the carriage looked like.

Liang Chongyue expected Chi Rong to come again, so he looked around while sitting in the carriage, and finally his eyes fell on the bloody clothes he had just changed.

Liang Chongyue carefully cut off a piece of clothing with a sword, wrote a message on the blood-stained corner of the clothing, and waited for Chi Rong to come again, then threw the cloth down.

Liang Chongyue sat in the carriage and waited for a while. She felt that the carriage seemed to have turned two more corners and had completely deviated from the original route.

In order not to alert the enemy, Liang Chongyue asked:

"Why did you make an extra turn? Isn't this the way back to the city?"

The coachman seemed to have not expected that Her Royal Highness the Princess would be so alert. He just turned a corner in advance, but the princess was able to notice it.

If it's just as the rumors say, no wonder the higher-ups told us to be careful.

Liang Chongyue waited for a while before hearing the driver's reply:

"Your Highness, I took the wrong road, but this is the way back to the palace."
