The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 370 Danger (2)

Butler Lin calmed down, and said again: "What about the signal flares? I haven't heard Wang Hao say anything about signal flares."

"My cousin and I have been in private contact," Jiang Ruan said: "Ye Li will attack the Jinying Palace in the future, and the Zhao family must be indispensable. Since I married into the Jinying Palace, he will think that the Zhao family should follow the Xiao family. It's a group. In order to prevent any accidents, I have been in secret contact with my big cousin. It is inconvenient for Jin Yiwei to go out tonight, but the Zhao family may not be. The soldiers and horses of the Zhao family, Ye Li, know it. Far, since there is a ready-made city garrison, it is also a good idea to use the city garrison to kill the rogues pretending to be officials." Jiang Ruan looked at the tea in front of him: "They want to ambush the entire King Jinying's mansion to catch turtles, but I have to use Zhao family's soldiers and horses wiped them all out. I want the people Ye Li sent to watch secretly to watch all this. I want them to understand that even if there is no Xiao Shao in this Jinying Palace, they definitely don't come and leave whenever they want. The place!"

What she said was extremely indifferent, but the guards and butler Lin who were ordered to protect her were secretly shocked, and couldn't help but admire her in their hearts.At the beginning, the servants of Prince Jinying's mansion had also discussed which woman in the world could match Xiao Shao, and after all, only the daughter of the Cheng family could barely count as one.The daughter of the Cheng family is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is also extremely smart. Her appearance and family background are all top-notch.But if Xiao Shao married her, what kind of situation would it be like today?At least not better than now.The daughter of the Cheng family may be as smart as Jiang Ruan, and her appearance is indistinguishable from Jiang Ruan, but she will never be a Jinying princess like Jiang Ruan.Because the lady who grew up in a wealthy family learned to be good at dancing with long sleeves, but she was not murderous. She was used to the twists and turns in the deep house, not the cruel fighting in the dark.

Only those who have experienced extreme pain and danger will have the courage to face any murderous intentions calmly. Her heart is extremely tough, as if she has not grown up in a deep house in the past ten years, but has faced countless bloody knives. It was the paved road that made her hard-hearted today.

Butler Lin said sternly: "This old slave knows, this old slave will do his best to protect the safety of the princess."

"It's not me you're protecting," Jiang Ruan said lightly, "it's Prince Jinying's Mansion."

Lin Butler's heart moved, and he stopped talking.

……

The fire soared into the sky and burned violently in the night. The crackling sound woke up the sleeping people. The rich families on a street began to shout and run out to put out the fire. At the same time, there was a noisy voice mixed in from somewhere: "Come on!" People, robbers have killed people!"

The panic contained in this voice spread to everyone in an instant.Everyone's drowsiness faded away almost at the same time, and the guards in the mansion ran out with knives, and the whole street was very noisy for a while, and the chickens were flying and dogs were dancing.

Xia Qing woke up from his sleep in a daze, dragged his shoes and put on his coat and walked out of the house, looked at the boy who hurried over and asked, "What's the matter? Why is it so noisy outside?"

"My lord, there is water in the mansion." The boy replied hastily.

"Ah?" Xia Qing woke up more than half of her drowsiness immediately, and asked eagerly, "Why did you get out of the water? Did someone get hurt?"

"No." The boy rubbed his head: "We don't have a lot of power here, and I don't know what happened. The house on this street suddenly ran out of water, and the servant just heard the noise outside saying that there are robbers. You better not go out, sir. Now, stay in the house, and the slave will go to inquire about the news."

"Bandits?" Xia Qing was stunned: "Which robber is so rampant that he even burned down a house in a street, it's too deceitful!" Just as he was talking, he saw Qi Feng in the other room also wearing his outer clothes and leaving When he came out, Qi Feng was obviously much more sober than him.Xia Qing hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, you were woken up too? Why do you think there are robbers here? Isn't the emperor's feet very peaceful? This is too dangerous."

Qi Feng was about to speak when he suddenly paused and stared at a certain place in the sky without blinking. Xia Qing followed his gaze and saw a firework blooming in the southwest sky at some point. The firework was not very big , but the sound is very clear, especially at night.Xia Qing was startled, and said: "When is this, who is still in the mood to play with fireworks? Fourth brother, what do you think is going on here?" He turned around and wanted to ask Qi Feng, but when he turned around, Qi Feng was caught. Feng's expression froze.Qi Feng's face was a little pale, and there was a trace of panic in his calm and shrewd eyes. He whispered: "Something happened, something must have happened to her, I have to go and see."

After all, he ignored Xia Qing and turned around to go out.

Xia Qing quickly stopped him: "Fourth brother, where are you going? There are robbers outside!"

"Shut up." Qi Feng shouted: "You stay here and don't go out anywhere, don't make trouble for me!" Then he rushed out of the yard, and his figure disappeared into the night.

……

Jiang Ruanfang walked into the main hall, listening to the guards from time to time telling what the situation was like outside.If it really was the fire that had ignited power, Xu did not expect that so many people would be alarmed all of a sudden. The people outside were obviously a little crazy, so they stopped pretending to be officers and soldiers and broke in directly.The guards of Prince Jinying's Mansion were all highly skilled in martial arts, but for a while they did not let those people gain the upper hand.It's just that they are outnumbered, and the opponent is coming aggressively, so I'm afraid they won't last long.

Butler Lin was also very anxious at first. For so many years, King Jinying's Mansion has stood like an iron wall in the capital, but at this moment he suddenly realized that those people who used to dare not touch King Jinying's Mansion were only because of Xiao Shao's presence.Now that Xiao Shao is not here, the Jinying Palace is like a shack with its walls and tiles stripped.The glory laid down by the ancestors is gradually fading. What everyone fears is Jin Yiwei and Xiao Shao, but not the Jinying Palace.However, the future mistress of the palace is trying to maintain it with a brave attitude.Seeing Jiang Ruan's indifferent and calm appearance, Lin Butler's restless heart gradually calmed down.

"Princess, they have broken into the palace!" The guard came to report.

"Stop it with all your strength and kill it directly. Killing one is one, killing two earns one." Jiang Ruan said slowly: "I'm still sitting here, what happened, I'll take care of it!"

She always has a calm tone, and she seems to be able to accurately grasp the places where people's hearts are most likely to change.For example, what he said at this moment immediately aroused the guards' hearts to protect the lord.Even if a woman can see death like home like this, how can a person in the palace shrink back in front of hungry wolves?Unknowingly, she has become the backbone of the entire Jinying Palace. It seems that as long as she is there, there is nothing to panic and fear.

But at this moment, Jiang Ruan's heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.Even though the general's mansion is not far from here, those people must be Ye Li's dead soldiers, and they will never show mercy.If Zhao Yi entered the yard before Zhao Yi led his troops, everything would be unknown.However, no matter what you think in your heart, you can't let it out on your face.The things in the world are most afraid of revealing the truth, but any wavering in her expression will affect the servants of Prince Jinying's residence.
