MTL - Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child-Chapter 581 anxiety
Chapter 581 Uneasy
Actually, when they just left Luzhou, Xiao Juan noticed that someone was following him, but Xiao Yan pretended not to notice anything and continued on his way.
After dark, the group stopped to rest.
Xiao Juan then quietly told the others that they were being followed.
They pretended to be asleep and deliberately showed their flaws.
As expected, the group of assassins appeared.
was originally a good layout, as long as they can capture the assassin alive, they can ask who is the real murderer behind the scenes.
As a result, Deng Luyun messed up the matter.
This is the first time he has suffered setbacks in his life.
The self-confidence of the teenager fell into underestimation, and the whole person was dizzy.
Yu Weiwei walked over and squatted down, stretched out his hand and tore off the face scarf from an assassin's face. Seeing that the face of the other was unfamiliar, he didn't know him.
Seeing the assassin carrying a quiver behind her, she took out an arrow and looked at it, and immediately recognized it.
"This is the assassin who attacked me last night."
Xiao Lian asked, "How can you see it?"
Yu waved the arrow in his hand: "This arrow is exactly the same as the arrow that attacked me last night, they should be the same group."
Xiao Yan looked at the assassin's body on the ground, then looked at the carriage next to him, frowning slightly.
"These assassins came at you twice, but you don't know them. Could it be that there is something in you that they want?"
Yu Weiwei responded quickly: "It's that jade bracelet!"
Xiao Juan agreed with her guess.
"The reason why Li Niang died at the beginning was probably related to the jade bracelet. Now that the bracelet is in your hands, the people behind the scenes are eyeing you again."
Hearing him mention Li Niang, Deng Yuchuan couldn't help but speak.
"It must have been the Empress Dowager Deng who sent someone to do it. She didn't want people to know about the existence of the bracelet, for fear that her crime of murdering her own sister would be exposed."
Xiao Yan felt that it was not so simple.
"Assuming you're telling the truth,
If the Queen Mother was really afraid that the crime would be exposed, she would not have sent someone to kill Li Niang.
Anyway, she is the queen mother, even if Li Niang goes to sue the imperial court, she can't help the queen mother.
The Queen Mother is completely unnecessary.
There must be a bigger secret hidden here. "
A secret that the real murderer behind the scenes must hide even if he kills everyone.
The evidence is too small, and the truth can never be confirmed by speculation alone.
The nurses dug a hole on the spot and buried all the bodies of the assassins.
They set off at dawn the next day to continue their journey.
Yu Weiwei sat in the carriage, looking at the jade bracelet on her wrist in a trance.
Ling Hai saw this and couldn't help but ask.
"What did you think of?"
Yu curling: "For such a small bracelet, so many people have died, first my mother and stepfather, then Sun Dalang's family, and Li Niang, now this bracelet has fallen into my hands, is it me? will also…”
Ling Hai hurriedly interrupted her.
"No! You are blessed with all the blessings of the sky, and you will be fine!"
Yu Wei smiled.
She put down her hand: "In honor of your auspicious words, I hope I can live to the day when the truth is revealed."
It turns out that her worries were not unfounded.
Along the way, assassins kept attacking them.
Those assassins are surprisingly consistent—
are all directed at the curls.
Once the assassination fails, they will not hesitate to commit suicide.
Even if Xiao Juan had taken precautions in advance and prevented them from committing suicide on the spot, they would have died of poison in a short time.
It turns out that these assassins had already taken poison before they acted.
Once the mission is successful, they will immediately take the antidote, but if the mission fails, the poison will kill them.
This almost suicidal method of assassination is enough to show the determination of the real murderer behind the scenes to kill Yu curling.
Xiao Juan suggested: "Give me the bracelet."
If those assassins really came for the bracelet, he would bear all the risks.
Yu Lingwei didn't want Xiao Yan to take the risk for herself, but she knew how much she had, and she had no ability to protect herself. Putting the bracelet in Xiao Yan's hands would be more secure.
So she obediently handed the jade bracelet to Xiao Fan.
Soon they were attacked again.
The targets of the assassins this time became two—
Xiao Juan and Yu Weiwei.
Even if there was no bracelet on her body, the assassins still did not let her go.
After a fierce battle, the Assassins were defeated.
Deng Luyun reacted quickly this time, and did not give the assassins a chance to commit suicide. He immediately caught people, removed their jaws and limbs, and made them lose their ability to commit suicide.
Unfortunately it was useless.
After a while, the assassins twitched all over, vomited black blood, and then kicked their legs out of breath.
Apparently they had already taken the poison, and now they died.
Deng Luyun hated his teeth so much that he was helpless.
Yu Wei walked up to Xiao Juan, she looked at Xiao Jian with a bad face and said.
"Give me the bracelet anyway."
Xiao Juan stood still.
Yu Weiwei: "You saw it just now, their goal is not just the bracelet, but me too.
No matter who the bracelet is on, they will never let me go.
Instead of one more person taking the risk, put the bracelet on me. "
Xiao Juan knew she was right.
But he couldn't accept it.
"I won't let you face danger alone. Even if you die, I will accompany you."
When the man said these words, his tone was extremely low, as if the blade pierced the ground fiercely, showing a decisive momentum.
Yu curled up with a smile, seemingly helpless, but also happy.
"Well, since you have to share my troubles, then I have no reason to reject you."
So far, he has never mentioned that he wants the bracelet back.
But when he was alone, he couldn't help but wonder, is he being too selfish?
She wants to pursue the truth and avenge her mother and stepfather. No matter how much risk she takes, she is willing to do so.
But Xiao Juan doesn't need to avenge anyone.
He can safely be an outsider.
Now he has to put himself in danger for her.
Time goes by day by day.
They were getting closer and closer to Yujing. The assassins seemed to know that there was not much time left, and the attacks they launched became more and more crazy.
Once Xiao Juan was injured unfortunately.
Although it was only a minor injury, it made the feeling of unease in Lingwei's heart stronger.
Cover helped Xiao Juan to bandage the wound, and moved very carefully.
Xiao Jian took the initiative to comfort her when he saw that she didn't say a word.
"It's fine, it's just a minor injury, it'll be fine in two days."
Yu curled her mouth open, wanting Xiao Juan to stop investigating. She could investigate the Feng family's case by herself, and she didn't want Xiao Juan to be hurt for herself again.
But he still swallowed the words.
Because she knew that Xiao Yan would not agree.
He was in another place, if Xiao Juan was in deep danger, she would definitely not leave him.
Xiao Lian looked at her fixedly, and suddenly said something in a deep voice.
"I will always be by your side, you can never get rid of me."
Yu Weiwei was poked at the center, and her expression became a little flustered.
She hurriedly lowered her head: "What are you talking about? Don't ride a horse these two days, take a ride, lest the wound open."
Xiao Juan: "Okay."
