Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

"sure?"

"determine."

"Okay, make sure to take them both to a safe place before the Emperor finds my sister."

"Yes."

At this time, Ling Yunche, who was far away from the capital, had no time to rest in the past few days.

I don’t know how many people are looking for him.

They actually chased him all the way to Heilongjiang.

"Ling Yunche, have we been discovered?"

Although Ruyi lived a poor life during the past six months away from Beijing, she did not suffer at all because of Ling Yunche.

But she still hoped that her brother Hongli could take her back as soon as possible.

"Ruyi, don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will definitely protect you!"

"With your words, I feel relieved."

Soon, another group of people came and assassinated the two.

The leader rushed towards Ling Yunche and attacked him, determined to take his life.

His moves were brutal and ruthless, and he seemed to be a man of the underworld.

Ling Yunche only knew some martial arts, and had no chance to fight back against this kind of gangster.

"Who sent you? Why did you kill us?"

"Oh? A couple? That's interesting. I can only tell you that the one who wants both of your lives is from the palace."

"We'll pay double what that person paid!"

The other party just laughed at Ling Yunche's bargaining.

"With the way you two are dressed, you probably can't even come up with ten taels of silver. How can you give me double? They gave us a full hundred gold!"

What is the concept of a hundred gold?

There are only a handful of people in the palace who can afford a hundred gold coins.

Ruyi thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out who wanted to kill them both.

It definitely can’t be her brother Hongli.

"Who are the people in the palace you are talking about?"

"I can't tell you this. If you want to know, you'll have to wait until next life~"

After saying that, the other party attacked again and went straight to Ruyi's door.

Ling Yunche had no time to resist and could only use his body to block the fatal sword for Ruyi.

"Pfft-"

"Well--"

The sword penetrates the flesh.

Hearing a muffled groan, Ling Yunche was in so much pain that he was completely speechless.

It seemed like someone was coming from a distance, so the group immediately evacuated the area.

Ruyi, who was being held by Ling Yunche, was in a daze, and kept asking in a hoarse voice, "Ling Yunche? What's wrong with you? Ling Yunche, say something?"

"Where are you hurt? Let me see, please say something."

"Why aren't you talking? Where are you hurt?"

Because Ruyi kept pushing Ling Yunche, Ling Yunche finally couldn't bear it and fainted.

Ruyi felt her body suddenly sink as if being pressed down by a huge rock, and she was having difficulty breathing.

"Over there! Quick! Save the Imperial Concubine!"

A group of soldiers ran towards them.

When he got in front of Ruyi, he quickly took Ling Yunche off her and helped her up.

"Royal Concubine, I am late."

"Did the Emperor send you here?"

"No, it was Concubine Yu who sent us here."

Only then did Ruyi remember Ling Yunche, "Oh, you guys take a look at what happened to him? Where is he injured?"

One of them walked forward to check, and his face looked bad. He hesitated for a long time and didn't say where Ling Yunche was injured.

"What's going on? The Imperial Concubine is asking you a question. How come you're injured here..."

In the palace, when Jinzhong received the news that someone had found Ruyi, he was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

A pair of arms wrapped around Jinzhong's waist from behind, and the side of her face was pressed against Jinzhong's back affectionately, and she asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Jinzhong turned around and sighed while hugging his Lingzhuer, "Something has indeed happened. The Imperial Concubine may be returning to the palace soon."

Wei Yanwan was stunned for a moment, raised her head to look at Jinzhong's chin, and playfully poked it with her hand.

"Since you're back, then come back. You look like you're facing a great enemy, as if you've done something bad without telling me."

Jinzhong, who was holding Wei Yanwan, stiffened his body, but Wei Yanwan still noticed this slight abnormality.

The smile on Wei Yanwan's face immediately faded, and she asked seriously, "Don't tell me you sent someone to kill her?"

Jinzhong didn't say anything.

"..."

"So if your people fail, will it implicate you?"

This time even Jinzhong was at a loss.

After all, there are only a few people in the entire palace who can afford to spend a hundred gold coins to hunt down others.

Who could have imagined that a eunuch who rose from second in command to the chief eunuch could make so much money.

Wei Yanwan’s biggest worry now is whether Jinzhong will be implicated if Ruyi returns to the palace smoothly.

After all, it is not a good thing to be charged with the crime of murdering the imperial concubine. If it is discovered, the person will be beheaded.

Wei Yanwan pinched her chin with her fingers and thought, "No, I have to think of a way."

"Master Ling, no, don't you blame me?"

Jinzhong was afraid that his master would blame him for making this decision on his own.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yanwan didn't care about Ruyi's life or death from beginning to end, and didn't even ask, for fear that it would implicate him.

For a moment, Jinzhong felt a little ashamed and blamed himself for doing such a stupid thing.

"Why not blame you?"

Jinzhong's heart trembled, he lowered his head, and thought, it's true.

Lord Ling should hate him.

However, Wei Yanwan continued, "Look at you, spending a hundred gold coins to buy a life? Is there anyone as wasteful as you! Wouldn't it be better to give this money to me? From now on, give your money to me, do you understand? How can you spend money so recklessly? I don't think her head is worth a hundred gold coins."

Jinzhong looked up in disbelief, then immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll give all my money to Master Ling."

As long as Master Ling doesn't abandon him, he can give her his life.

As soon as Wei Yanwan saw Jinzhong's character, she knew that he must be thinking about something else, so she decided to teach him a lesson and let him scare himself for no reason.

cut.

Hailan is a person who can hold it in.

He made sure that his sister and others were on their way back and about to arrive in Beijing before he was willing to tell the emperor about this.

But the joy she expected did not appear on Hongli's face.

"Your Majesty, my sister is about to arrive in the capital. When will you bring her into the palace? She has had a very difficult time outside the palace for the past six months. She has been ill and recently had a fright. I am very worried."

Hongli put down the imperial edict conferring the title of Prince Ding'an on Yonghuang and looked at Hailan with a fierce look. He curled his lips in a sneer, "I didn't know that Concubine Yu is so powerful now. She even knows the Imperial Noble Concubine's schedule so clearly. What? Now you can make the decision whether to accept the Imperial Noble Concubine into the palace or not?"

Only then did Hailan realize the seriousness of the problem.

She had been worried about her sister these days and was distracted for a while. Now she had displeased the emperor, so she immediately knelt down to explain.

"Your Majesty! That's not what I meant!"

"If that's the case, then you should explain to me why you know so much about the Imperial Concubine's affairs outside the palace."
