There really was an accident …

Just thinking about it made him panic!

"This animal is worse than pigs and dogs." If he were to ascend to the throne, how would the commoners in the world be any better off? " Wenshansu said angrily.

Yuwen Chenglian had truly lost all sense of humanity.

When he thought about how those five people had met with a tragic end just like that, he thought about the calamity that had befallen him all those years ago. He also thought about how his daughter still had not suffered any grievances. He hated Yuwen Chenglian to the extreme! All these years, if it wasn't for some things that he couldn't get hold of, and if it wasn't for the fact that he had to look for evidence from him, he would have done the same and killed him.

However, he couldn't. He had to make the grievances between his daughter and his wife known to the world. He had to let everyone know how despicable that hypocritical Prince Wei was!

"What are you arguing about!" The coachman opened the curtain and stuck his head in to glare at them, "If you dare to speak ill of the prince behind my back again, be careful that I won't cut you down!"

"Then come." Xiao Ruyue sneered coldly.

The man was so angry that he almost pulled the curtain down.

The Wenshansu snorted coldly and comforted Xiao Ruyue, "Empress, do not get angry with such a person. Be careful of your own body. This commoner believes that for the sake of evil, those who have done so will be punished by the laws of the country, and Her Majesty will be able to seek justice for the Empress. "

"I'm fine with it, thank you very much." Xiao Ruyue hesitated for a moment, seeing that Wenshansu was calm on the surface, she was secretly surprised.

His father seemed to know everything, but he was very calm. What exactly were he and the Wang Shangshu plotting? Or, what had they been investigating all these years?

Her heart became more convinced, that these people's father had concealed his identity secretly, other than trying to avoid the thief Yuwen Chenglian, what other incredible secret was he hiding.

The carriage suddenly jolted and Xiao Ruyue was almost thrown out.

Luckily the Wenshansu stopped her, "Esteemed Empress, are you alright?"

Xiao Ruyue sighed and shook his head. Her face was slightly pale.

Wenshansu could not help but be worried in his heart.

The horse carriage was used by the innkeeper as his own family. Occasionally, he would forcefully receive the guests and help them bring some things. It was rather simple and crude. Sitting up was also very tiring, so he couldn't bear to see the person driving the carriage from the outside.

His old bones couldn't take it anymore, not to mention the fact that the empress was pregnant with a child. With a woman in her sixties tormenting her, her body would find it hard to endure.

He did not know how it happened, but the carriage kept bumping and shaking, causing Xiao Ruyue's face to turn ugly. Her stomach churned unbearably.

"All of you be careful. The Empress is weak, and can't withstand torture!" Seeing that she was enraged, the Wenshansu shouted angrily towards the outside.

"How can he be so delicate." That person said in disdain.

Then, Yuwen Chenglian's angry roar came out, "Stop!"

The carriage stopped as he spoke.

There was a "bang" from outside. It was unknown what had landed on the ground. The wind blew up the curtain, and a faint smell of blood floated in with the wind.

Xiao Ruyue suddenly thought of something, and her stomach churned even harder. She got out of the carriage and saw that under the illumination of the torch, there was actually a person lying on the ground with blood flowing out of the wound on his neck. He struggled for a few moments, then stopped moving.

This person was the person who was driving the carriage for Xiao Ruyue and Wenshansu.

Xiao Ruyue clenched her teeth and looked at Yuwen Chenglian. He was still holding onto the blade, and blood was dripping down from the blade.

This situation went without saying.

"Your Highness, he has followed you for many years and has always been loyal to you, you …" The leader said as he looked at Yuwen Chenglian in such a manner.

"Shut up!" Yuwen Chenglian said coldly, "He's courting death! Min Er is this king's person, the only empress after this king ascends to the throne in the future, who does he think he is! Who gave him the guts to be so rude to Min Er? "

Xiao Ruyue felt a chill all over her body.

Although most of the time Yuwen He called her Elder Sister Xiao in private, he would occasionally call her Min Er. When the two words came out of his mouth, she felt extremely nauseous, and couldn't hold it in anymore, spitting out the food she had eaten a long time ago.

The leader was standing closest to Yuwen Chenglian. If he couldn't dodge in time, it would affect his, so the leader immediately glared at her with a cold face, "You woman!"

"Do you want to die too!?" Yuwen Chenglian held his blade up with a sinister look in his eyes.

Xiao Ruyue sneered, if Xiao Ruyue had seen how she protected her, she would have been moved, but now, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that she was just a hypocrite.

She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the corner of her mouth, raising her eyes to look at the leader's gaze, "I know that you have disliked me for a long time. If you want my life, it's not impossible. It just depends on whether you have the ability to do so. "

"You!"

"Step down!" Yuwen Chenglian shouted.

The leader refused to accept this and said, "Your Highness, please don't forget what you promised. We will only be at your command if we follow Lord Liu Liu Yuan and the others and follow you. If you had just left the control of the Flowing Sand Pavilion Master, you would want to slaughter your way through the river to destroy the bridge.

Liu Yuan.

So Liu Yuan was really saved and hidden by Yuwen Chenglian's men.

Yuwen Chenglian had actually escaped from the Flowing Sand Pavilion Mistress.

Previously, when Yuwen Chenglian was able to escape from the Duke Palace and hide in the capital for so long without leaving a trace, he must have found the Flowing Sand Pavilion Master's protection.

However, that was also true. There was only one emperor, and there was only one chair. If you want it, I want it too. Naturally, they would not give it up to each other. The end result would be a fight to the death.

Some of the knots in Xiao Ruyue's mind, and some things that she couldn't understand for a long time, were all enlightened because of their few words.

At this moment, she really wanted to say thank you.

But this was clearly not the time.

Yuwen Chenglian's face was filled with anger at the leader's words, he raised his blade and said, "You dog slave, who gave you the guts to speak to this king like that? This King sees that you do not want this life! "

The leader hesitated for a moment, his expression relaxed and he knelt down towards Yuwen Chenglian, "Your Highness, please spare me."

His attitude just now was like a completely different person.

"Hmph, at least you're sensible!" Yuwen Chenglian coldly snorted, and kept his blade.

The leader kowtowed to Yuwen Chenglian again before he stood up.

When they met again, Xiao Ruyue felt a bit of doubt in her heart. She had a strange feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Why did she have a bad premonition?

Xiao Ruyue's heart was in a panic, the Wenshansu saw that she was in a bad mood and hurriedly helped her sit back down.

After this incident, Yuwen Chenglian did not affect his resolve to bring them along again. The group of people abandoned the corpse and allowed the hooves of the horses to trample over it, before setting off once more.

Xiao Ruyue warned Wenshansu again, "There must be demons behind this abnormal event. We need to be careful."

Wenshansu was a smart person, he naturally understood what she meant and nodded.

The further they went, the worse the road became. It was very bumpy.

Xiao Ruyue had been robbed and bloodied all day, and now she was working all the way, and her food was not tasty, so she was not feeling good.

Her stomach was churning and she was feeling very uncomfortable. There was a slight pain coming from her body. Her forehead was sweating and her face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

"Empress, is your complexion alright?" The Wenshansu was worried.

Xiao Ruyue shook her head, signalling for him to be quiet, and spoke with her mouth wide open: "Don't let them be aware of it."

Wenshansu immediately understood her concerns, and sighed with some heartache.

Xiao Ruyue pressed her finger on the acupoints on her body, from her arm to her neck and even on the back of her palm.

Xiao Ruyue had experience from before, so he and the Wenshansu each grabbed onto a small window at the side, thus they were not thrown out.

Just as the carriage stopped, they heard Yuwen Chenglian shouting from the outside: "What's going on?!"

Something really happened?

Xiao Ruyue did not dare to carelessly poke her head out, and looked at Wenshansu, preparing to take precautions.

"According to the route and the time, we should have already passed through the wilderness by now. What path did you lead me on!? " Yuwen Chenglian asked.

The leader then replied, "Your highness, this is how we travel."

These words of his completely lost the respectful and cautious attitude from before, and became extremely frivolous, as if he didn't care if Yuwen Chenglian attacked him or not.

Xiao Ruyue's heart thumped loudly. She really wanted to sew her crow beak shut.

That was true.

"What do you mean? This is clearly not the way to Tartar. "

"Has Your Highness forgotten?" At this time, Tatar is fighting with us, and the only way to get to the border city of Tatar is through the hands of the Great General, so even if we go, we won't be able to get past him, so why would we need to die? "

At this point, anyone who wasn't a fool would be able to hear his voice.

Listening to this person's speech, Xiao Ruyue's heart was in her throat.

Or perhaps, all the people present had already betrayed Yuwen Chenglian. And if they sided with some new master, it was obviously impossible for them to be Yuwen He.

Earlier, she had thought that if it fell into Yuwen Chenglian's hands, she would be able to protect herself no matter what. But if it fell into someone else's hands, then it would be hard to say.

Wenshansu was also worried. He and Xiao Ruyue looked at each other, worried.

The thing that Xiao Ruyue was most worried about was that after the people outside and Liu Yuan, their follower, abandoned him, the only other option would be to choose the "Quicksand" mysterious helmsman — Quicksand Pavilion's Master, Yan Jue.

If it were anyone else, forget about if they had defected to the Flowing Sand Pavilion Master, she would definitely have fallen into Feng Yuting's hands.

By then it would be too late.

Feng Yuting viewed her as a thorn in her side, if she fell into Feng Yuting's hands, it would be equivalent to death.

There was no chance of her surviving!
