Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

A pair of bony hands lifted the car curtain and said, "Song Shuang, go and take a look."

Song Shuang returned, bowed, and reported, "Your Highness, this is the family of Lord Su, the Minister of Rites. The horses were startled and the carriage hit a rock on the side of the road. The carriage was damaged, and Concubine Liu and the young lady from the Su Mansion were injured."

Miss Su?

Ye Zhi recalled that day, in a corner of the street in the capital, she was holding half a roasted sweet potato in both hands, eating it with relish, her brows relaxed, and chatting happily with her fourth brother beside her.

Afterwards, he investigated out of curiosity and found out that the girl was the eldest daughter of the Su family.

"Are the two injured seriously?" Ye Zhi asked.

"Madam Liu suffered some minor injuries, but it's nothing serious. But Miss Su fainted from shock. After the court doctor gave her acupuncture, she has woken up."

Ye Zhi looked up at the sky.

Today, his mother pressed him hard, forcing him to marry the daughter of the Prime Minister. He was unhappy about this and wanted to stay in Baiyun Temple for a while to avoid the limelight.

Unexpectedly, it started to rain when the carriage was halfway there.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the road up the mountain will definitely be difficult to walk on.

He could not just stand by and watch Su Tinggui's family members die and let them fend for themselves.

"Forget it, let's take everyone from the Su Mansion and return the same way."

He went up the mountain to seek quiet and peace, not wanting to be too conspicuous.

He rode in a carriage, and the ten guards who accompanied him rode on horseback.

How could he bring back so many women from the Su family?

He thought for a moment and said thoughtfully, "Song Shuang, send Miss Su here to rest."

"Send someone back first and see if we can rent another carriage."

"Now, the rest of the women in the Su Mansion will follow the convoy first."

After Ye Zhi gave the order, he lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

An old woman came hurriedly, carrying a young girl on her back.

The woman on the back was wearing a long pink skirt. The edge of the skirt was fluttering in the air with the strong wind, like a butterfly with broken wings, trying hard to spread its wings and fly.

Her veil was very thin, and the rain wet the upper part, which clung to her cheek like a cicada's wing, outlining her delicate facial contours.

Her eyes were slightly closed, and slowly opened as she approached the carriage.

Those were a pair of watery eyes, perhaps because of excessive shock, or perhaps because of the rain and fog, the hazy color in those eyes made people fall in love with them at first sight.

Xi Shi shed tears, the fairy frowned... All the men in this world are obsessed with those women with peerless beauty and are crazy about them.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness, for saving my life." She began to express her gratitude.

Her voice is delicate and soft, like a feather, gently sliding across the skin, with a hint of shyness and dependence, which makes people want to protect her.

"Don't be polite, young lady." Ye Zhi smiled slightly, and the demeanor of a refined gentleman was perfectly interpreted by him.

"Your Highness, it's raining heavily outside. How can I occupy your carriage alone..." Su Jiaojiao said in a tactful tone, with a hint of shyness on her face, and whispered: "How about..."

"Your Highness Prince Jin..." The rest of her words were interrupted by Concubine Liu.

Not far away, Concubine Liu, her face covered in blood, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Jin, for your great kindness. Your Highness, this kindness will be forever unforgettable to us, mother and daughter."

She stood upwind, a little away from the carriage, but when a gust of wind blew, waves of earthy smell mixed with the smell of horse feces and urine drifted towards her.

Everyone's breath froze.

Although Ye Zhi was a prince, he was under the control of his mother when he was a child. If he was disobedient, he would be punished by cleaning the stables.

The smell of horse feces and urine was his nightmare as a child.

Ye Zhi's brows knitted together tightly, not wanting to even glance at Aunt Liu. He turned around and ordered, "You escort the Su family back home. This prince will go ahead."

He jumped on his horse, not even bothering to put on his raincoat, and turned around and ran away with a flick of the whip.

"Your Highness..."

Su Manman called out softly in the direction the horse left, trying to make one last effort.

However, a gust of wind blew, drowning out her voice, which turned into the sound of the wind and disappeared without a trace.

I have never been so angry.

Even when she was divorced by Prince Qi's Mansion and kicked out by the Crown Prince's Mansion in her previous life, and died tragically on the street with nowhere else to go, she had never been so angry.

Her mother.

It ruined her first path to the throne of Queen.

Due to the anger and the turbulence caused by the carriage overturning, Su Jiaojiao closed her eyes and fainted.

……

When I woke up again, I was lying on the bed in the inn.

It turned out that on their way back, the group encountered a huge storm and the vehicles could not pass, so they stayed in an inn on the roadside outside the city.

This inn is located in a remote area, and few people pass by on weekdays and nights.

Tonight, contrary to usual practice, the hurried sound of horses' hooves on the road sounded like the sound of death-prompting drums. The sound of horses' hooves frightened the guests in the store into a panic.

The door of the inn was knocked open, and Lord Cao, the Minister of Justice, dismounted from his horse and strode in.

Aunt Liu, who was lying on the crack of the door and watching, trembled with fear and took several steps back, "Jiaojiao."

Her face was pale. She ran to the bed and grabbed Su Jiaojiao's hand. "It's Lord Cao, the Minister of Justice... I wonder what happened?"

Having been imprisoned in the Dali Temple once, Aunt Liu was still frightened and felt uneasy when she saw officials.

Su Jiaojiao naturally knew what had happened.

The news of His Royal Highness Prince Qi being assassinated must have been reported back to the capital, so Lord Cao came.

"We haven't done anything wrong, so why worry?" Su Manman missed the opportunity to be alone with His Royal Highness Prince Qi today, and she felt very upset.

It’s all Aunt Liu’s fault.

He was angry and had a bad attitude towards Aunt Liu.

"Jiaojiao," Aunt Liu said, completely clueless. She grabbed Su Jiaojiao's hand and said, "We haven't returned home tonight. I wonder if the messenger guard has delivered the letter yet?"

"If we don't come home overnight, your grandmother will definitely complain, and your father will be worried..."

Aunt Liu kept muttering, but Su Jiaojiao's mind was not here.

In his previous life, Ye Zhi’s words meant that if he had not arrived in time, Ye Mo would have been dead.

Now, she stopped Ye Zhi.

Now, she is very concerned about the outcome of this assassination.

Is Ye Mo dead?

Is Su Manman dead?

Is Lin dead?

If they were all dead, then she would only need one move to avenge all the hatred from her previous life.

As she was thinking, there was a commotion at the gate and a figure rushed in. He hurried up the second floor, came to the door of their room, and knocked on the door, "Open the door, it's me."

This voice is so familiar.

Aunt Liu was stunned. She rushed over to open the door and was stunned.

Under the candlelight, Su Tinggui was wearing a straw raincoat, and raindrops flowed down his hair and the edge of the raincoat to the ground.

His hair was completely messed up by the strong wind, and it stuck to his face. Water droplets were flowing on his face, and only his eyes were flashing with anxiety.

As soon as I entered the room, I looked at Aunt Liu. There were scratches on her face, but she could run and move, so her injuries should not be serious.

He glanced at Su Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the bed with a scarf covering her face, and asked hurriedly, "Jiaojiao, where are you hurt?"

"Dad, I'm fine!" Su Jiaojiao's eyes were slightly red, "I was just frightened."

"Then your face..."

"It's okay." It was all done by my mother.

"As long as you're all okay," Su Tinggui's voice was hoarse. "I heard from the guards that your carriage was overturned and you were injured. I was really worried, so I came to check on you."

"master……"

Upon seeing Su Tinggui, Concubine Liu finally found a place to vent all her grievances. She rushed over, not caring about the mud and water all over his body, and hugged him, crying, "I was so scared. I thought I would never see you again."
