Chapter 272: Someone is coming over there
Naturally, the Xue family had information and could find out what the eldest prince was doing, so they consciously stayed away from the eldest prince. In any case, their strength was weak, and fighting against the eldest prince would be like hitting a stone with an egg.
The next day.
Ruan Wanwan took her maid for a stroll on the street, taking a look at the recent harvests of the shop.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw two people hiding their hats and pretending to be following them. Ruan Wanwan, of course, knew all about the recent turmoil in the capital. These were probably people sent by the eldest prince, which was interesting.
She squeezed into the market, surrounded by a sea of people and bustling people, and the few maids who followed her were so crowded that they couldn't see her.
"Xiao Ping, I'll go out for a while. You can take them for a walk and keep my account."
Xiaoping agreed submissively.
A cold smile appeared on her lips, and she entered the dark alley under the surprised eyes of the two people following her.
"Come out."
The two of them were embarrassed for a moment when they heard this, and then they realized that if the princess found out about them today, she would have no choice but to keep silent.
They didn't pretend either. They pulled off the linen clothes they were wearing, revealing black night clothes and no decorations on their faces.
Ruan Wanwan chuckled: "Are you from the eldest prince?"
One of them said: "It is said that the Crown Princess is ignorant and a loser. Now it seems that the rumors are really not credible."
Ruan Wanwan whispered softly: "Rumors in the capital have always been untrustworthy. Is this the first time you two know about it?"
Another man in black was obviously impatient: "Damn it, what nonsense are you talking about, you asked her to give a death speech before she died? Kill her quickly, don't cause any trouble."
The other man in black muttered dissatisfiedly, but also knew that now was not the time to get entangled, so the two of them pulled out a machete from nowhere and struck at Ruan Wanwan.
Ruan Wanwan raised the ends of her eyes, and her originally sweet and harmless appearance looked a little evil.
She made a gesture to tell the people in Beiliangye in the dark not to act rashly. She didn't take these two lightly. Besides, she didn't intend to let them die. If they died, how could they give it to the eldest prince?
By spreading the news, how can we lure the eldest prince out, reveal his flaws, and eliminate him completely without letting the eldest prince know about it?
She smiled softly and ducked away from the sword: "Be gentle with girls."
In the blink of an eye, she was behind a man in black and kicked him out. Another man in black rushed towards her with a ferocious face. She thought about it and dodged to avoid it. She took the opportunity to jump to the roof. The location here was extremely advantageous.
The two men in black were confused for a long time and still couldn't find it.
Seeing them cursing and leaving, Ruan Wanwan felt very happy.
She returned to her store. The store's harvest has been good recently. This year's income is three times higher than last year. It seems that the reputation of her jewelry store has been completely established.
Two men in black helped each other into the inn and asked for an upper room.
"Damn it, I didn't expect that Herbal Crown Princess to be a treacherous person. She would run away if she couldn't be beaten."
Another man in black looked at him worriedly: "The eldest prince asked us to capture Bei Liangye's confidants, but the only place we can think of where Bei Liangye's confidants are is next to the crown princess he loves very much.
"
"Who would have thought that the Crown Princess would be able to protect herself when she encounters us, so Bei Liangye's confidants naturally don't need to take action."
"We were negligent this time, please report it to the eldest prince immediately."
The two parties reached a consensus, revised a letter, and sent a carrier pigeon to bring it to the eldest prince.
Not long after, a reply came, and the two of them opened it cautiously. Sure enough, the eldest prince scolded them angrily and told them to wait for the opportunity, pay more attention to the male protagonist's subordinates, and strike at the first opportunity.
The two were granted amnesty, but fortunately the eldest prince did not punish them.
royal palace
The emperor sat on the throne, closed his eyes and meditated.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince sent someone to assassinate the crown princess."
Eunuch Li reported in a high-pitched voice.
"Really? He is quite courageous, but his wishful thinking may come to nothing."
The emperor naturally knew what the eldest prince was going for. Ruan Wanwan was not willing to take the risk of being discovered to assassinate him, so he could only do it because of Bei Liangye.
Bei Liangye has been named the crown prince for a long time. Many people have tried to remove him from that position without success. Why does the idiot eldest prince think he can succeed? He is so stupid.
He changed his position and leaned on the dragon chair: "Send shadow guards to keep an eye on Beiliangye's people and him, and take action when there is danger."
The Shadow Guard is the highest level of secret guard for the master. I heard that for this kind of person, if the master tells him to die, he can kill himself without blinking an eye. When others threaten him, no matter what kind of torture is used, they can't.
If they were asked to compromise, their bones would be frighteningly hard, so Shadow Guards were also very rare.
Eunuch Li responded and took a breath of cold air. The shadow guards were dispatched. Does it seem that the emperor already attaches such great importance to Beiliang Ye?
The emperor seemed to suddenly think of something. He opened his eyes, his eyes filled with vicissitudes of life and coldness: "We should not be the only ones staring at Bei Liangye. Ruan Wanwan should also know and send someone to bring her into the palace."
Eunuch Li was a little strange. He knew that as the Crown Princess, Ruan Wanwan could sell the Crown Prince. Once the Crown Prince was killed, she would be the first to suffer. The Emperor was making a fuss out of a molehill.
But he couldn't say it in front of the emperor. It was a capital crime to speculate on the emperor's thoughts without authorization. He immediately went to the Prince's Mansion.
Ruan Wanwan had a dense network of informants in the palace, and he had already let the informants spread the news back in advance.
At this time, she was stroking the comb. There were a few broken strands of hair on the comb, and the emotion in her eyes made people feel alienated for no reason.
"This emperor is really an old fox. He knows that I also know about this matter. He called me into the palace early. I don't know what he was thinking about."
Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of Bei Liangye's absence to bully her? The next second, she denied it. Their marriage was decided by him personally, so it was unjustifiable to bully her.
This time, Ruan Wanwan failed to figure out the emperor's thoughts.
The secret guard on the side saw Ruan Wanwan's aura getting colder and colder, and quickly said: "Do you need an excuse to refuse?"
Ruan Wanwan was stunned for a moment and shook his head lightly: "No, if I panic, I don't know how much trouble will be waiting for me in the future. Besides, if the emperor called me in, I'm afraid something is really wrong."
"Princess, someone is coming from the palace."
The maid came in to report, Ruan Wanwan gave the secret guard a look, and the secret guard immediately disappeared, as if he had never been there.
Eunuch Li's fat body trembled and he personally invited Ruan Wanwan into the palace.
