Leng Qiyue ignored the surrounding situation and hurriedly crawled back into the carriage. What was the situation? The Empress Dowager wouldn't make another move, would she?
Xiao Die opened the curtain of the carriage and saw the Imperial Guards were fighting with a dozen masked men in black outside. Yan Su was battling with a man who had great martial arts skills and could not get away.
At this moment, something climbed onto the horse carriage's shaft and rolled into the carriage. Die looked at it, it was actually Pei Zan.
Xiao Die raised her leg and kicked him down, but Pei Zi Yun was full of energy and quickly crawled back. He said, trembling, "Big sister, please give me a way out."
Xiao Die giggled and stopped kicking him.
Lying in the carriage, Leng Qiyue propped up her chin with one hand and said, "Little Butterfly, the curtain has fallen. Get it up, I want to watch a show."
"Alright!" She threw the curtain onto the roof.
Pei Zi Yun hid in a corner and glanced at the two girls. He then thought to himself, "What kind of woman is this?"
The battle outside was still going on. A lot of the Imperial Guards had already fallen, and the number of black clothed people had been reduced from a dozen to six. These six martial arts were not weak, but they did not look like assassins. Had the empress dowager invited someone from the martial arts world? Or did he find an officer?
But looking at the martial arts of those people who were unlike soldiers, there was only one possibility. Those people were martial artists.
Leng Qiyue decided to probe for a bit. She then got out of the carriage, stood on the shaft of the carriage, and raised her voice, "Everyone, I am the Second Manor Lord of Hao Yue Villa. What conflicts have I had with you?"
The person who was fighting with Yan Su, upon hearing this, made a feint and looked towards Leng Qiyue. He stretched out his hand to pull down the towel and said, "Second Manor Lord, it's me."
When Leng Qiyue saw who it was, she could not help but have a headache. The person who had come was actually Li Yu of the Three Unique.
The remaining people also pulled down their masks. Li Hua and Li Shuang were there too, but they didn't recognize the other three.
Third Jue of the Storms arrived in front of the carriage. Li Yu asked, "Second Manor Lord, how did you become the emperor's concubine?"
Leng Qiyue jumped down from the carriage and asked, "This is a long story. Why did you come here?"
Li Shuang was quick to say, "We heard that the Eldest Manor Lord was harmed by an adulterous concubine after he entered the palace. Later, we heard that His Majesty had a concubine who went to Lijiang City to provide relief, so we set up an ambush here in preparation …" But we did not expect it to be the Second Manor Lord! "
Leng Qiyue frowned. "Forget it, we'll talk about it later. Let's check on our brothers' injuries first."
Li Hua said, "Empress, don't worry, we're here for …" "The emperor's concubine came, so she didn't kill them."
Leng Qiyue nodded and walked over to a nearby black-clothed man. He was lying on the ground, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. He walked over to check and found that there was no fatal injury. He had only been knocked unconscious. She checked the others and was relieved to see that none of them were dead.
Leng Qiyue angrily said, "Don't be so impulsive in the future. If any of our brothers die here, how can we face our families?"
Li Yunan said: "Second Manor Lord, we... We are willing to go through fire and water for the Great Manor Lord and the Second Manor Lord. "
Leng Qiyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Hurry up and save this brother. If you have something to say, we'll talk about it later."
The three of them clasped their fists. "Yes, Second Manor Lord."
Yan Su glanced at Leng Qiyue; he had gone to save the Imperial Guards.
Pei Zi Yun climbed out of the carriage and said, "Empress, so you know each other. You should have left earlier."
Leng Qiyue glared at him, somewhat regretting bringing him out. Such a cowardly person had gone to the Imperial Palace. If he was threatened by someone, he might turn the tables on him.
Xiao Die helped Yan Su to save her, and came over after she was done, "Why are you so afraid of death? They were masked, but who would have thought that they would recognize each other? Could it be that you wanted the Empress to come out and die? "
Pei Zi Yun remained silent. She kicked him angrily and said, "You are a doctor. Go and save him."
"Yes, yes, yes …" Pizan hurried over to help.
Leng Qiyue found a rock to sit on and thought to herself, "So the people from Hao Yue Villa didn't know that I became their imperial concubine, and the matter regarding Bai Lan was also strictly spread outside. How did they know?" "Also, the person directing this play knows his and Bai Lan's background very well, but these are not secrets. After a little investigation, he will find out …"
"Empress Dowager, do you think it's the Empress Dowager this time?" Xiao Die asked the question in her mind.
Leng Qiyue shook her head. "Probably not. The empress dowager isn't that stupid. The Emperor specially sent so many Imperial Guards to come and receive me with great fanfare. He wanted to give her a warning, so it's impossible for her to take this risk. If I die, she will be convicted of murder and sent to the temple for meditation. The empress dowager wasn't an idiot. She was smarter than a fox, so how could she do such a thing? "
"Then who does the Empress think it is?" Xiao Die felt that Leng Qiyue's analysis was reasonable. If it wasn't the empress dowager, then who could it be?
Leng Qiyue thought for a moment and said, "Who cares? She's not the only one who wants my life in the palace. Butterfly Concubine, Rong Concubine, and Lin Fei, who doesn't see me as one of their eyes? "
Xiao Die sighed and said, "Aiya, the Queen has so many enemies. We are all women, so why can't we get along peacefully? "
Leng Qiyue smiled faintly. "Then can you get along peacefully with cockroaches?"
Xiao Die thought for a while, and then shook her head, "No, but they are not cockroaches!"
Leng Qiyue rolled her eyes. "But in their eyes, I'm a cockroach!"
Xiao Die sized up Leng Qiyue and smiled, "It would be great if all the cockroaches in the world were this beautiful."
Leng Qiyue was so amused by him that she started to laugh. At this time, Li Yu had already finished her work so she jogged over and said, "Second Manor Lord, was the Eldest Manor Lord really killed?"
Leng Qiyue shook her head and said, "It's unknown whether he's still alive or not, but Master Wuqing took him away."
Li Yu asked anxiously, "Second Manor Lord, what is going on?"
Leng Qiyue retorted with a question, "What did you come here for? Who told you that the Eldest Manor Lord was killed? "
Li Yu took out a piece of grey cloth from her bosom. On it was written in blood: "The Great Manor Lord was killed by an adulterer. Revenge ah!"
She looked at the cloth. It was not the kind used in the palace, but the kind used by the commoners to make clothes.
Li Yu said, "Five days ago, someone delivered this piece of cloth to the Hao Yue Villa, so the three of us went to the capital to inquire about it. In the end, we found out that the Eldest Manor Lord's whereabouts were truly unknown, and that the Eldest Manor Lord was harmed by His Majesty's concubine.
Leng Qiyue said with a stern expression, "If I hadn't been sitting in the car today, wouldn't you all have killed this concubine? It's not like you guys don't know which concubine caused the Grand Villa Master's death.
Li Yu said embarrassedly, "When we were asking around, we heard that the Eldest Manor Lord had been harmed by an adulterer. I also heard that the bridegroom didn't manage to get a name, but I heard that the bridegroom would go to Lijiang to help out."
"Adulterous concubine? How do I look like a adulterer? " Leng Qiyue was very unhappy.
Li Yu kneeled down and said, "Please calm your anger Second Manor Lord, I was wrong." He suddenly discovered that there was an inexplicable sense of oppression on Leng Qiyue's body, causing him to unconsciously feel fear.
Leng Qiyue hurriedly pulled him up, "Don't be like this. By the way, where was the person who shot the arrows at the carriage?"
Li Yu looked around and said in surprise, "That person disappeared, but I didn't bring that person. I saw him shoot an arrow and he didn't show himself."
"Oh? It seemed that person was the key. Forget it, you guys should return to the villa. I need to hurry back to the Imperial Palace. " Leng Qiyue did not want to waste her time thinking about it.
Li Yu nodded and moved to the side.
She had just boarded the carriage when she saw smoke billowing in front of her, as if countless horses were galloping over. Moments later, a group of more than twenty riders galloped over. They ignored Leng Qiyue's group and hurried past them.
Leng Qiyue looked at their backs in astonishment, thinking to herself, "What kind of people are they?"
Li Yu pondered for a moment before saying, "They should be the newly risen Flying Cavalry."
Leng Qiyue asked, "Flying cavalry? What are you doing? "
Li Yu said, "It's bandits. It seems that they are here for Lijiang City's relief money."
"What?" Turn around and go back to save them! " Leng Qiyue was shocked.
