As soon as he finished speaking, he felt someone tug on his arm. When he came back to his senses, he felt someone tugging on his arm. It was already in the arms of someone who was drying up.
Yu Yu turned his head and looked ahead. He saw that she was standing on a cliff. If it wasn't for her, she might have fallen down by now.
Calmly taking his arms out, he tidied up his clothes and said to Rong Gan, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life." After that, he began to look around to see if there was any other way to go.
But before she could find the way, she saw the black clothed men had already caught up, making her breathless. If her body had the physical strength of those black clothed men, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state!
After thinking about it for a while, she secretly decided that if she could make it back alive, she would have to train harder to gain physical fitness.
Seeing the situation in front of them, Rong Chi knew that they were definitely no match for these people, so he stepped forward and asked the black-clothed men: "Who exactly are you people? Why did you want to assassinate us! "
The leader of the black-clothed men did not even try to cover up his words when he heard them. He directly said, "Your Highness, we are only following orders and this matter has nothing to do with you."
"Since this prince brought her out, this prince will naturally bring her back completely. As for you guys, go back and tell your master that this prince owes him a favor."
As the prince that the emperor doted on the most, the promise he made was naturally the most precious thing in the world. It was only because he could tell that they didn't want to make things difficult for him that he brought it up.
However, they didn't expect the black-clothed men to reject him without hesitation. "Sixth Prince, we don't dare to make such a decision. If we let this girl off today, then the ones who will be in trouble after returning will be us brothers."
Then the man in black gave the others a wink, and they drew closer with their swords, for they were sure there was nowhere to run this time, and their movements were no longer as hasty as they had been before.
After seeing their actions, Rong Gan immediately stood in front of them. The meaning behind his action was obvious. The man in black sneered after seeing his actions.
He then shouted to the people behind him, "Go!"
He watched as those people got closer and closer to him, but didn't move an inch. "Do it!" "Let's go!" After saying that, she reached out and pulled Rong Gan toward the cliff behind them.
"Cover your head with your hands and curl up your body. Try to land on your back. Jump!" Even before the sounds in the air had died down, Yu He and Rong Gan had already jumped off the cliff.
To her, jumping off the cliff seemed dangerous, but she still had a chance at survival. If she stayed, she didn't think that the men in black would finally find the conscience to let them go.
The black-clothed men quickly ran to the edge of the cliff and looked down. Although the mountain of Phoenix Mountain was not very high, the cliff was abnormally steep.
There were also a lot of protruding stones, from above, it was impossible to see the bottom, "Let's go!" Go down and search for dead bodies! " And so, the group of men in black left in a grandiose manner.
With the current danger of Phoenix Mountain, Xiao Yun Chen's side felt much more relaxed.
"How many more days until we arrive at Beijing?"
Hearing the voice, the man outside the carriage immediately rode to the side of the carriage and said, "Your Highness, we will reach Beijing in two or three days."
Hearing that, Xiao Yun Chen did not say anything more. After a long while, he opened his mouth again and asked, "Is there any news from Wu Country?"
"I just received news that Miss Yu is going to accompany Sixth Prince's Palace to gather herbs for the Imperial Concubine of Wu Country to treat her illness. I presume that even without His Highness by her side, they would still be able to live carefree lives."
The tone of the man didn't carry the slightest bit of respect for a prince. Xiao Yun Chen only clenched his hands, but didn't say anything, as if he was already used to it.
There was no other reason but that this man was the Queen of Yan Nation, Xiao Yun Chen's mother's most trusted subordinate, and that Xiao Yun Chen had always been a good-for-nothing in the eyes of the Queen.
Seeing that Xiao Yun Chen didn't even scold him, the man outside the carriage felt even more disdainful towards Xiao Yun Chen. It was fortunate that he still had a noble identity, but in the end, he still bowed his head to her.
Just like that, two days passed quickly. After returning to Yan Jing, Xiao Yun Chen's first reaction was to return to his residence, but he didn't expect that he would be stopped by that man.
"Second Prince, this subject left orders from the esteemed empress of the capital for His Highness to meet her as soon as he returns."
Xiao Yun Chen took a deep breath and said, "I'll go back and clean myself before going to see mother. If you don't feel assured, you can just wait."
At first, he thought that since he said that, the man would agree. However, things did not go as Xiao Yun Chen had expected. The two of them continued to remain in a deadlock for a while, then turned around and entered the carriage with dark expressions.
"Enter the palace!"
When Xiao Yun Chen arrived at the empress dowager's palace, he saw a woman wearing a deep red palace attire sitting on a chair. The woman's head was covered with a golden phoenix hairpin with delicate makeup.
Just a gaze from her was enough to make people feel intimidated. When Xiao Yun Chen saw the girl, he immediately bowed and said, "This son greets mother."
When the woman heard the sound, she didn't immediately get Xiao Yun Chen to get up. Instead, she walked over for a while before asking, "You're back?"
Xiao Yun Chen bowed as he replied, "Yes, thank you mother for sending people to save me."
"Stand up!" After hearing the sounds, Xiao Yun Chen straightened his body and walked to a nearby chair to sit down. After that, a palace maid came up with a cup of tea.
After the palace maid served the tea, she turned around and left without a moment's hesitation. Even the palace maid who was in a hurry had an extremely calm expression. She didn't even manage to turn around and put on her skirt.
Just from this, it could be seen that the rules of the empress palace were extremely strict. After Xiao Yun Chen was done, the empress's gaze officially fell on him.
However, after seeing Xiao Yun Chen's attire, he frowned slightly. "Is that how you came to see me?"
"Your son wanted to return to the mansion to wash up and change into a fresh set of clothes before coming back to see mother, but that Liu Quan stopped your son from leaving."
