Legitimate Daughter, Precious Phoenix - C326 Encountering assassin
The horse carriage stopped in front of the house, and the lanterns in front of the house were held up to the ceiling. Song Qingyu saw Zuo Linyu speak with the coachman. The distance was not far, but Song Qingyu could not hear anything clearly.
Xiaosu helped Song Qingyu over the threshold.
Zuo Ruyu had already turned around and walked over with large strides.
Little Su lowered her eyes and let go of his hand before retreating. Song Qingyu was supported by Zuo Linyu. The one on the left was dressed in a black robe. The robe was embroidered with complicated patterns. A flood dragon was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws at him. Under the light of the lantern, it was vivid and lifelike.
Zuo Liyu didn’t like to talk too much. In the past few days, he didn’t talk much with Song Qingyu. There were also some chores that he couldn’t finish, so he had to eat three meals a day to accompany him.
However, this was the first time that Song Qingyu felt a sense of oppression around him.
At this moment, he did not say a word. He extended his arm to Song Qingyu’s waist and gently lifted him into the carriage. Song Qingyu did not even have time to be surprised as he had already been placed on top of the horse carriage.
The coachman opened the curtain for Song Qingyu. Song Qingyu had yet to react to the series of movements made by Zuo Linyu when he subconsciously slipped into the carriage.
The carriage arranged by Zuo Linyu didn’t have the name of the palace on it, but rather a simple carriage. The interior, however, was different from the outside. The golden silk silk cloth with the green silk threads was laid out comfortably on the platform on all four sides. There were windows on both sides, and beaded curtains blocking the outside world. However, there was a faint gust of wind coming from the carriage window, blowing against the curtain.
After a closer look, Song Qingyu guessed that this was specially prepared for her by Zuo Linyu. However, why would Zuo Liyu be so careful? He wanted to marry the princess who had come from Nanyao, and it was rare for Princess Nanyao to be able to take part in a literary event. There was no need to curry favor with her.
Just as he was thinking about it.
Zuo Ruyu had already walked in half a step and sat by Song Qingyu’s side.
He said to the outside, “Let’s go.”
The carriage slowly moved forward, steady and without any bumps. Hearing the sound of the wheels turning, Song Qingyu simply closed his eyes and took a nap.
Song Qingyu didn’t have any intention of getting tired, he just didn’t want to have the chance to talk to Zuo Linyu.
Even though it seemed like Zuo Linyu was extremely strange tonight, she didn’t have any intention of speaking. Song Qingyu glared at him with his eyes closed.
The carriage didn’t go on for long before it suddenly jolted.
Caught off guard, Song Qingyu was almost thrown forward. Suddenly, his head was lightly pressed against the wall and he was pushed into Zuo Linyu’s arms.
“This is the door to the backyard of the prince’s mansion. It’s set up as a threshold.”
Song Qingyu cast a sidelong glance. Since Zuo Liyu knew that such a thing would happen, she didn’t say a word beforehand. Pulling her was just in time.
No matter how Song Qingyu thought about it, he always believed that Zuo Linyu was doing it intentionally. These tricks to fool little girls. Song Qingyu did not even bother to look at him with disdain. He was even a bit angry as he calmly came out from his embrace and leaned against the other side of the carriage.
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
Song Qingyu spoke a few words and leaned against the side of the carriage, not looking at Zuo Linyu’s expression.
Zuo Linyu didn’t say anything either.
Song Qing Yu was leaning on the other side, but there was no movement from Zuo Linyu. She lowered her eyes. Not long later, Song Qingyu was still fast asleep.
“Ah Yu, are you hiding something from me?”
Zuo Linyu’s voice suddenly rang out, jolting Song Qingyu out of his sleep. He was somewhat dazed when he heard her question. Song Qingyu judged what Zuo Linyu meant.
Or did Zuo Yuyu know that the list was fake?
While Song Qing and Yu were thinking, another voice sounded.
“Forget it, rest well and focus on recuperating. This King will not ask about this matter anymore.” Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to deliver the medicine along with the tonic. The medicine was concocted by the imperial physician in the palace, so it will be useful in improving your injuries. ”
Zuo Linyu’s voice was deep and low.
Song Qing and Yu felt uncomfortable.
She looked inside and did not respond. The carriage continued to move forward. Song Qingyu thought that it would take at least half an hour for them to reach the Song Manor.
After a long time, the carriage gradually slowed down and finally stopped.
Song Qingyu opened his eyes and sat up straight. He let out a long sigh of relief before looking at Zuo Linyu, “My lord, thank you for taking care of me these past few days.” I will definitely repay you for saving my life. ”
As Song Qing Yu spoke, his sleeves were suddenly pulled to his sides.
“Let This King carry you for a moment before leaving.”
Song Qingyu frowned and hurriedly pushed Zuo Linyu away. “Even if you saved me, Prince, you should remember that you’re going to marry Princess Nanyao and Jiahui.”
“I told you, no matter what, you are my wangfei. Ninth Brother might not be able to return safely from the battlefield. As long as you say it, this king doesn’t need to marry Princess Nanyao at all. This King can ask Father to seal This King away. We’ll never come back. This matter of the marriage alliance will also not reach This King. ”
Song Qingyu didn’t have the time to think about what Zuo Linyu had said. It was just that those words, ‘King Yi’, might not have returned safely from the battlefield, making Song Qingyu feel uncomfortable.
“Even if King Yi doesn’t return safely, whether he lives or dies, since I’ve already promised the emperor and empress, I’ll definitely marry King Yi.”
She said that she was anxious to get out of the carriage, ignoring her injuries.
Zuo Linyu didn’t chase after her, but clenched her fist and smashed it against the carriage. There was a bang.
Song Qingyu heard the sounds coming from the carriage and did not turn back. He lifted the curtain with one hand and headed outside.
What entered his vision was not the Song Manor’s vermillion gate, but a sharp saber that slashed at Song Qingyu’s neck.
Song Qingyu saw that it was a masked guy. When the man saw Song Qingyu, he froze for a moment. The blade had hesitated for a moment, but when the blade struck down, Song Qingyu took advantage of the moment of reaction to leap backwards and jumped off the carriage. He was in severe pain from exerting too much force on Song Qingyu’s wound. She subconsciously looked at her wound.
The man missed and struck Song Qingyu a second time.
Caught off guard, Song Qingyu quickly retreated to the back. He saw that he was surrounded by a dozen men in black, and the body of the driver who drove the carriage earlier was lying on the side. Song Qingyu took half a step back defensively as he felt another attack from behind him. Song Qing and Yu were about to reach for the dagger at their waists.
Suddenly, his hand was pulled, and Zuo Yuanyu pulled Song Qingyu to his side. He turned around, and protected Song Qingyu from the back. At the same time, he raised his sword to block the attack in front of him. At the same time, it revealed itself from behind.
Song Qing and Yu opened their eyes wide as they saw a knife cut into the left side of Yuanyu’s back. Due to the impact, Zuo Yuanyu pushed Song Qingyu a few steps forward. He quickly turned around and slashed across the man’s throat with his sword.
