After traveling through time, the adults were completely in my hands

On the road to Yue State, the team from Daqing State escorting Princess Jing'an to marry was moving slowly forward.

Princess Jing'an sat in a gorgeous sedan chair, holding Xiaobai in her arms, looking a little nervous. The leader of the marriage team had just come to report that they had entered the territory of Yue State, which meant that she would soon meet the prince of Yue State.

Princess Jing'an wondered if the Prince of Yue was really as Jindou said, a handsome man with both literary and martial talents.

"Princess, is this the Kingdom of Yue? I think the scenery is similar to that of the Kingdom of Daqing." Yingxiang, Princess Jing'an's personal maid, slightly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, took a look outside, and said.

"Really?" Princess Jing'an also looked out through the gap in the sedan chair curtain.

Speaking of which, this was the second time Princess Jing'an had seen the world outside the palace since she grew up. The first time was when Jindou led her out.

I don’t know if I will have the chance to come out and appreciate the beautiful scenery outside after entering the Yue Palace.

Princess Jing'an sighed softly and stroked Xiaobai's hair with her hand. Xiaobai seemed to understand Princess Jing'an's thoughts. He nudged Princess Jing'an's arm with his head, then lay down on Princess Jing'an's legs obediently and closed his eyes slightly.

"Princess, it would be great if Jindou could come with us," Yingxiang said with some regret as she lowered the curtain of the sedan chair.

During the few days that Jindou stayed in Yuxiu Palace, he became very familiar with everyone in the palace, and the palace maids also liked the lively and cheerful Jindou. When Yingxiang thought about the fact that she was now in Yue State and didn't know when she would see Jindou again, she felt really sad.

Yes, that's what Princess Jing'an was thinking at the moment. Although she had actively agreed to come to the Kingdom of Yue for marriage, the further she went, the more anxious she became.

If Jindou comes, I can talk to her. Jindou always looks cheerful. When I am with her, I won’t be as nervous as I am now.

Princess Jing'an was thinking about her own things when she heard the neighing of horses in front of her, and then the sedan chair she was riding in stopped.

"Your Highness, I have come here on the orders of the Crown Prince to welcome you!" a voice said beside the sedan chair.

Princess Jing'an slightly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw a man dressed as a military general standing beside the sedan chair with his hands clasped and his head bowed.

Knowing that this was the army sent by Yue to welcome her, Princess Jing'an said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, General, to lead the way."

In Yue State, late at night, in Concubine Ji's bedroom, the maids and nannies who were serving her had long since been driven out. Concubine Ji was alone in the room, pacing anxiously back and forth.

Suddenly, there were a few slight knocks on the window of the room, and then a masked man in black opened the window from the outside and climbed in.

Concubine Ji hurried over and asked anxiously, "How is it going? Where is the marriage team now?"

"We're almost in the capital," the masked man said as he tried to hug Concubine Ji.

"Why didn't you complete what I told you to do?" Concubine Ji pushed the masked man away in disgust and said, "Didn't I tell you to get rid of her on the way?"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent guards to protect the princess along the way. I really can't find a chance to take action. If I act rashly, I'm afraid I will be exposed. Not only will I fail to hurt the princess, but the Crown Prince will also notice it, which will ruin the whole thing," said the masked man.

"The last time the prince went to Daqing, we had such a good opportunity, but he still escaped. It's such a pity. If we had shot him to death then, we wouldn't be in such trouble now," said Concubine Ji bitterly.

Yes, the masked man also thought in his heart that when he assassinated the prince last time in Daqing, he had smeared poison on the tip of the arrow. It can be said that as long as the tip of the arrow penetrates a little bit of flesh, the prince will definitely die.

I shot that arrow with all my strength. When the arrow hit the prince, I thought he would fall down, but I didn't expect that the prince was unharmed. The arrow I shot was bounced several meters away.

I don’t know what kind of treasure the Crown Prince is wearing under his clothes, it’s so powerful.

"What should we do now?" Concubine Ji said impatiently, "The marriage procession will soon enter the capital, and by then, our chances of taking action will be even slimmer. In three days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will hold his wedding ceremony. After the ceremony, the Princess of Daqing will take up residence in the Eastern Palace. Doesn't that mean we'll have no chance at all?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have a solution," said the masked man, whispering a few words to Concubine Ji.

"Is this matter safe? Will it be discovered by anyone?" Concubine Ji asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Even the imperial physician won't be able to diagnose this symptom," the masked man assured.

"Okay," Noble Concubine Ji nodded and said viciously, "As long as that old man dies, there will be a shock in the court. Then we can seize the opportunity and make sure that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess die without a burial place!"

Having said that, Concubine Ji hurriedly urged the masked man, "Go down quickly. Don't let anyone know that you've been here."

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for several days. Can I..." The masked man came closer and put his hands on Concubine Ji's shoulders.

"It's already late, and you're still in the mood to think about this?" Concubine Ji shook off the masked man's hand and shouted, "Hurry up and leave, or you'll be discovered if you're late."

"Yes, then I'll take my leave first." The masked man bowed reluctantly, turned around and walked to the window, opened the window sash, looked around, and jumped out.

In the Eastern Palace, Crown Prince Jing Yu of Yue sat behind a desk, while a guard bowed and reported, "Your Highness, the marriage procession is almost arriving in the capital."

"Yes," Jing Yu nodded and instructed: "In the next few days, it is necessary to send more personnel to the place where the Daqing delegation is staying. We must remain vigilant at all times and not make any mistakes."

"Yes, Your Highness," the guard took the order and left.

Jing Yu sat behind the desk, lowered his head and thought for a while. Feeling a little tired, he rubbed his forehead with his hand. He couldn't help but took out the peach charm from his arms again and looked at it carefully.

On the peach charm, the marks left by the arrow were faintly visible, as if reminding its current owner at any time that someone had saved his life.

After looking at it silently for a while, Jing Yu put the peach charm into his arms, picked up a book from the table, opened it, and found some dried sunflower petals inside.

Jing Yu seemed to reappear in front of his eyes the scene when Jin Dou handed him the sunflower. The sunflower was in full bloom, reflecting Jin Dou's bright smile like a blooming flower. This scene was so vivid and beautiful that it seemed to be frozen in his mind, making him hard to forget.

Sighing softly, Jing Yu picked up a petal and placed it in his palm, but he couldn't help but think of the white and delicate little hand that was stretched out in front of him that night when Jindou performed magic.

For a moment, Jing Yu felt a little hot. He didn't dare to think too much, so he quickly put the petals back into the book, closed the book and put it aside.

I don't know what Jindou is doing now. At this moment, Jingyu's heart does not have the joy of the upcoming wedding. There is only a lot of longing and melancholy.
