"Lingxuan!"
A hasty, tyrannical voice broke the dark tranquility.
The girl raised her head, the alluring appearance still exuded a moving brilliance in the dim light of the lantern.
She doesn't like to let others see herself, and only on this swing can she face her true self.
With a bang, the gate of the yard was pushed open, and a girl in a red dress stood there. She cut her long hair short, and after trimming, she still looked like a phoenix.
It's just that her eye sockets still seem a little red. It's obvious that she's been in a bad mood recently.
"Sister." Lingxuan got off the swing and came to her with her head down.
Princess Shenxiao stood on the steps, looked down at her condescendingly, and asked, "What do you think of the marriage bestowed by the emperor?"
"Sister, Yan'er can't decide anything." She said softly.
"So you're going to be resigned, aren't you?" Shen Xiao asked through gritted teeth.
"But, what else can I do?" Her voice was as thin as a mosquito.
"Jiang Zizai's amazing performance at the event of the Six Houses, he is quite attractive, I think, you must be fascinated by him!" Princess Shenxiao gently clenched her fists.
Princess Lingxuan raised her head and glanced at her excitedly. She shook her head blankly and said, "Sister, I don't know what the meaning of life is. If you hate me, I'll just die."
"You!" She was really speechless, this person has been like a blade of grass since she was a child, if she couldn't breathe, she would have thought she was dead.
"I warn you, no matter what, you are not allowed to touch him in the future, it is best not to talk to him, even if you are married, he lives his life, and you live yours." There was a hint of warning in her voice.
Princess Lingxuan was startled, and she asked: "Sister, have you fallen in love with him?"
"Shut up!" Princess Shenxiao held the door, her eyes trembled, but she soon became firm, and said with a sneer: "I just want to kill him now! Let him not live until the day of marrying you! "
"Don't be impulsive, killing him will ruin your reputation." Lingxuan whispered.
"What's none of your business?" Shen Xiao glared at her.
Lingxuan didn't answer, she pursed her lips, threw the flower tightly in her hand to the ground.
"I'm leaving, remember, don't let me know that you are dating him!" Princess Shenxiao warned.
Lingxuan nodded.
When Shen Xiao walked to the door, Princess Lingxuan suddenly said, "Don't you feel too tired living like this?"
Princess Shenxiao turned her head, looked at her with a sneer, and said, "You who live in dreams every day, how do you know my ambition!"
With a snap, the door slammed shut.
Princess Lingxuan stood there for a long time, then returned to the swing and continued to swing.
She didn't see that there was a pair of eyes in the darkness, staring at them and listening to them.
…
Lu Yuan's body was placed in an ice coffin, and the ice could keep the body intact.
In the early morning, Jiang Zizai and Lu Dingxing worked together to carry the body into a carriage drawn by three black horses. Lu Dingxing sat on the carriage and he rode the horse back.
"Father, my son will take you home."
He knelt in front of the ice coffin and kowtowed, tears that he would not shed lightly, he had promised his father at night that he would never cry again in this life.
Jiang Zizai, Ruo Xiaoyue, and Jiang Yuning rode black Lin horses, guarding the left and right.
As for Wanqian and Beishan Jin, they wanted to follow, but Jiang Zizai saw that the journey was far away, so he let them stay in the Temple of Sacrifice and continue to practice.
When the sun was just rising, they brought many priests to see Jiang Zizai off.
Jiuxian didn't come, they stayed together all night last night, she didn't want to watch Jiang Zizai and Princess Lingxuan rendezvous.
Jiang Zizai didn't have to wait long, when a group of more than ten imperial guards came here, guarding a carriage.
This seems to be an elite team, all of them are Totem Martial Artists at the fourth or fifth level of Profound Vein Realm.
One of the leaders was a young man, wearing black armor, mighty and domineering, with sharp eyes and a sinister smile on his mouth.
Judging from his attire, he is of the rank of "Black Blade Commander" in the imperial guards. One person controls hundreds of imperial guards. Only a dozen people were brought this time, and not all of them should be present.
"Little Prince, and Princess Yanning, I am the imperial guard 'Nangong Fengyue', this time I will be responsible for escorting Princess Lingxuan to and from 'Great Jiangwang City'." The young man stepped forward and said.
"Tianpeng clan?" Jiang Zizai asked.
"Yes, my younger brother Nangong Fengchen has been to Dajiangwang City and disappeared there. I still think that I can investigate this time by the way." Nangong Fengyue smiled.
"I've seen him before." Jiang Zizai nodded.
"Could it be that the little prince killed him? I heard that you met in Heihunyuan." Nangong Fengyue smiled.
"Stop joking, is the princess in the carriage?" Jiang Yanning interrupted their conversation.
"That's right."
"Ziza, follow me to say hello to the princess." Jiang Yuning got off the horse, and Jiang Zizai followed her. When the two arrived in front of the carriage, Jiang Yuning said, "Princess, I'm Jiang Yuning, can we start?"
"Okay." A voice came from inside, as if she wasn't going to come out of it, which was also good, to save the embarrassment of meeting.
Jiang Yuning motioned for Jiang Zizai to say hello too.
"Then let's go." Jiang Zizai didn't bother to say hello, he returned to mount his horse, he had already started, Lu Dingxing and the others followed, and the group walked a low-key path and left Yanlong Market.
They were in front, and Princess Lingxuan's team followed behind.
There is no communication between each other.
Nangong Fengyue occasionally looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes were cold, and he had a premonition in his heart that his younger brother must die because of him.
"In the carriage, there must be Lu Yuan's corpse!"
"It was supposed to be beheaded and hung up, but now it's going to be taken back for burial!"
"He can be buried, but who will bury those hundred thousand innocent souls? God, it's not fair!"
There were some people watching on the road, they didn't care what they wanted to say, but these Lu Dingxing were used to it.
He just believes that one day, he will return his innocence to his father. This is his greatest desire in this life, and it is his destiny.
"The one behind is Princess Lingxuan, right?"
"It is said that this is to see Princess Ruohua. When the two return from Dajiang King City, they will almost get married."
"I actually think that His Majesty is really courageous enough to marry his daughter to the son of a criminal."
"He also wants to lead Jiang Zizai to the right path. After all, His Majesty is a person who loves talents."
"Speaking of which, although Princess Lingxuan is not a real princess, she has been canonized after all, and her status is that of a princess. Everything is done according to the specifications of a princess."
"I just don't know what Princess Shenxiao will think, haha..."
"I don't know if the sisters will have a scene of fighting for husbands, then there will be a good show..."
The dynasty is too big, there will be everyone, and no one can influence what other people think and say.
Jiang Zizai knew all of this.
After they left Yanlong Ruins, such a small team didn't attract much attention. The imperial guards also changed into casual clothes to make it easier for them to travel. Princess Lingxuan's carriage itself was not luxurious.
They were basically silent along the way, traveling during the day and resting in the inns along the road at night. Jiang Zizai basically stayed by Lu Yuan’s body. When they arrived at the inn, Princess Lingxuan went directly to the room to rest. Only Jiang Yanning occasionally went to say hello. , as a courtesy.
"Brother, will she become my sister-in-law?" Ruo Xiaoyue quietly asked Jiang Zizai as she watched Princess Lingxuan get down from the carriage.
"I don't know." Jiang Zizai said.
"Princess Lingxuan, she is so quiet. She looks much better than the other princess. She doesn't speak." Ruo Xiaoyue has been observing her all the time.
Jiang Zizai really felt that Princess Lingxuan was a bit strange, she and Shenxiao were both princesses, and their personalities were really different.
However, her red-blooded spirit dragon totem is a bit scary, and Jiang Zizai's black dragon seems to be of the more vicious kind.
Jiang Zizai thought, anyway, there is no contact and no feelings, so they will be married in the future, they will be called each other, and they will not interfere with each other. Princess Lingxuan doesn't seem to want to get close to him, so that's just right.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, half of the journey was over, and they were about to enter Qingluan County.
"Sister Dongyang has been brought back to Qingluan City. It is estimated that she will not be allowed to return to the Huguo Mansion in a short time." Jiang Yanning said.
"This prince is really low. The matter of my brother and sister Dongyang is none of his business, and he has to take care of it." Jiang Zizai said disgustedly.
"It would be great if my brother could come out. Elder sister Dongyang must have heard the news that His Majesty said that he would release her brother. Even in Qingluan City, she would be happy."
"Yeah." Jiang Zizi nodded.
Brother had to come out, he had been to Tai'e Prison, it was too lonely and hopeless.
Whenever Jiang Zizai remembered that he was still suffering inside, Jiang Zizai couldn't bear it.
It was late in the evening on this day's journey, Jiang Zizai decided to rest in the 'Nanling City' ahead, and still needed to walk for half an hour at night.
The team had to pass through a forest, where black locust trees were everywhere, like ghost claws sticking out of the ground.
Among the tree shadows, a man in black wiped the sword in his hand and waited here for a long time.
Her bright red tongue licked the blade, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
