Jiang Nianjiao also knew that Zhao Yanzhen was just a sesame dumpling. The more she went against him now, the more he would go crazy.
And there was no one in the garden now, so naturally she could only let him go first. She didn't believe he could hold her in his arms forever.
However, Zhao Yanzhen soon corrected her wrong idea. Seeing that she no longer resisted, Zhao Yanzhen pushed even further. One of his arms was around Jiang Nianjiao, but the other hand was still intertwined with Jiang Nianjiao.
And he just hugged himself like this without saying a word. It really seemed like he wanted to keep this posture forever.
It wouldn't be a problem if things continued like this. Jiang Nianjiao could only take the initiative and said, "Why is Your Highness here today?"
"I heard someone said that something happened in the Jiang Mansion, and the young lady of the Jiang Mansion was kidnapped, so I asked my father to come over."
Zhao Yanzhen's words instantly made Jiang Nianjiao's heart skip a beat.
So is he here just for himself?
But then she felt like laughing at herself for being so sentimental.
How could people like them be sincere?
So she just smiled and said, "Your Highness is really concerned about the security of the imperial city."
After hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen retorted, "The security of the imperial city is naturally guarded by the Jinwu Guards. What I am really worried about is you."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Yanzhen asked again, "Jiaojiao, what I asked you before, can you give me an answer now?"
When asked this sentence, Jiang Nianjiao's body froze immediately.
Naturally, she also knew that she would not be able to pretend to be stupid this time.
She experienced despair from her cousin. In fact, it was difficult for her to like someone so seriously now.
Now she is only thinking about herself and her family. If she regrets her marriage to Chen Jinghuai because of the third prince, this is obviously not a reasonable consideration.
And although she did have some feelings for the third prince, Zhao Yanzhen's mind was too difficult to grasp. Now they were both reborn. Zhao Yanzhen and Queen Min had suffered a lot in their previous lives. She didn't believe that Zhao Yanzhen didn't want revenge.
And as long as revenge is required, how could the Chen family's downfall have been without the involvement of the Jiang family. She didn't think that Zhao Yanzhen would not settle accounts with the Jiang family for her own sake.
But it was obviously not appropriate to reject the third prince directly. After all, he knew too many secrets of the Jiang family. Now if he randomly brought out one of the secrets to threaten the Jiang family, she would have no choice but to do anything.
But if he kept putting it off until she married Chen Jinghuai, he would be even more embarrassed and angry.
"What? Jiaojiao, haven't you thought about it yet?" For some reason, Zhao Yanzhen's words at this moment actually showed a bit of coldness.
At this moment, Jiang Nianjiao felt like she was trapped in a corner.
It seems that no matter what you do or say, these roads are blocked.
"What exactly does Your Highness want? Can you be more open and honest?" Jiang Nianjiao said softly.
Zhao Yanzhen said, "Isn't my heart for Jiaojiao sincere enough? Besides, I just want to marry Jiaojiao and become my wife. Why should Jiaojiao be so afraid of this?"
"Your Highness, do you believe what you said?" Although Jiang Nianjiao's words were light, their meaning was very firm.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen just put his head on Jiang Nianjiao's neck and laughed twice.
Before he could hear Zhao Yanzhen's reply, he heard a soft snapping sound coming from the dead branches not far away.
Jiang Nianjiao was obviously extremely sensitive to this. She quickly pushed Zhao Yanzhen away and only looked at the neatly trimmed dieffenbachia in the garden.
Even through the lush branches and leaves, you can seem to see a cluster of crimson leaving.
Zhao Yanzhen obviously realized that someone was eavesdropping, so he just strode towards the evergreen.
The person hiding behind Dieffenbachia obviously realized that his peeking behavior had been exposed, so he just quickly picked up his skirt and turned around and ran away.
After Jiang Nianjiao chased after the evergreen tree, he saw a lonely girl wearing a scarlet dress and disappeared around the corner of the courtyard with only the hem of her skirt raised.
The few people who liked this outfit were all wearing the same style, so they watched the man run away. However, Jiang Nianjiao had no idea who was peeking at him.
Zhao Yanzhen wanted to chase him again, but Jiang Nianjiao stopped him at this moment and said, "Forget it.
Your Highness. If she really wants to spread the word about what happened between you and me, what can we do to her? "
Although Jiang Nianjiao said this at this time, the real reason was because he realized that if he continued to chase, he would have to reach the hall.
Zhao Yanzhen didn't insist anymore after hearing this. Zhao Yanzhen seemed to be worried because of Jiang Nianjiao's words, so he stopped asking about Jiang Nianjiao.
Jiang Nianjiao felt extremely embarrassed because of what had just happened, so she only said to Zhao Yanzhen, "If Your Highness has nothing else to do, I will leave first."
Zhao Yanzhen said, "Where is the Concubine Xian? I have to escort her back to the palace."
Knowing that Zhao Yanzhen could not be avoided, Jiang Nianjiao no longer persisted.
Fortunately, the two of them may have their own concerns on the road ahead. It seemed particularly harmonious for a while.
The forest suburbs to the north are lush and green.
After Yanlang took Jiang Zhi hostage and stepped into the forest, when he felt that there seemed to be no pursuers behind him, he directly threw Jiang Zhi he was carrying to the ground.
Then he said, "Let's go!"
Although Jiang Zhi's consciousness was chaotic, she still heard that this man was planning to let her go.
Therefore, without much thought, not long after he finished speaking, Jiang Zhi got up in embarrassment and prepared to escape.
But neither of them obviously knew that an archer hidden in the tree was aiming at Yanlang.
As the long arrow left the string and cut through the wind, Yanlang finally realized that there seemed to be someone hiding in the tree. He ducked to avoid the arrows.
However, when he realized it, his reaction was still a beat slow.
Although he escaped the most fatal blow, his hands and feet were still shot through.
At the moment, he subconsciously thought that Jiang Nianjiao didn't mean what he said, so he only sent people to set up an ambush in the northern forest suburbs.
Therefore, he was angry and threw the long knife in his hand directly at Jiang Zhi.
Cui Qiao, who had been following them, naturally took in all this.
Although she knew there was another person hiding in the woods in front of her.
But now was obviously not the time to hesitate, so almost when the long knife was about to swing at Jiang Zhi's back, she just pushed Jiang Zhi away with lightning speed.
Jiang Zhi was obviously frightened and she screamed. At the same time, out of self-protection, she subconsciously faced Cui Qiao.
"Second Miss, it's me, Cui Qiao!" Cui Qiao didn't care about getting too entangled with Jiang Zhi, she just spoke to comfort Jiang Zhi immediately.
Jiang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Cui Qiao, and then she subconsciously hugged Cui Qiao and cried bitterly.
Cuiqiao wanted to push Jiang Zhi away, but Jiang Zhi was obviously emotionally fragile now. Holding Cuiqiao was like holding a driftwood on the sea.
In addition, Cuiqiao saw the man on the tree running away after giving Yanlang an arrow.
And the task Jiang Nianjiao assigned to herself did not include chasing the mastermind behind it.
Therefore, after coaxing Jiang Zhi for a few words, she just broke Jiang Zhi off her body.
"Okay, Second Miss, we are safe now. Please stop crying. If you continue to cry, the Songliu River will burst its banks."
Jiang Zhi, who had calmed down after being silenced by Cui Qiao, couldn't help but blush, and loosened her grip on Cui Qiao.
Cuiqiao then walked towards Yanlang who fell to the ground after being shot by an arrow.
Yanlang obviously misunderstood Cui Qiao. When he saw Cui Qiao coming over, he just stared at her with a look that wanted to kill her, "You are plotting against me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of black blood spit out from his lips.
It was obvious that the arrows that shot through his hands and feet just now were poisonous, so the blood he vomited out at this moment was all black. @
Cuiqiao rolled her eyes speechlessly, "I'm the only one here. You saw where I came from. If I had shot this arrow, you should have been shot through the front. If you want me to see, You are probably being treated as an outcast, and your people are eager to kill people and silence them. You said that your organization is so inhumane, but what are you doing by sacrificing yourself and selling your life?"
"But I think you're going to die anyway, so why not put it to good use in the end? Isn't it too much for me to take your head in exchange for some bounty?"
I have to say that Cui Qiao’s words were vicious enough, and the beautiful man listened to them.
When she said this, she was so angry that she spit out several mouthfuls of black blood.
Cui Qiao really didn't bring the antidote pills at the moment, and even if she did, his poison might not be able to be cured by the detox pills.
In addition, she was really coveting the bounty, so as soon as Cui Qiao finished speaking, she immediately sent Jiang Zhi to a place not far away to retrieve the machete that Yan Lang had just slashed at Jiang Zhi.
Seeing Jiang Zhizhen go to pick up the knife, Yan Lang's strong desire to survive prompted him to ask, "How much reward will they give you?"
Cui Qiao recalled what Zheng Honglu had yelled at the escorting guards when he was being escorted to the lobby: "Who can avenge his daughter!" If he is willing to pay for it with all his wealth.
After carefully assessing the situation of the Zheng family and the fact that Zheng Yonghe was rescued, the bounty might be greatly reduced. She touched her chin and said, "About a hundred taels."
"I'll pay you two hundred!" Yanlang said holding his breath, and as soon as he finished speaking, his whole face turned pale.
Pian Cuiqiao didn't know whether she was trying to test his patience or she really didn't know what he was talking about. Cuiqiao asked obediently, "Two hundred for what?"
"Save me! I'll pay you two hundred taels of silver! Cough! Cough!" Yanlang took another mouthful of black blood.
If Cui Qiao hadn't been able to dodge quickly, the mouthful of black blood would have almost sprayed Cui Qiao's head and face.
Cuiqiao dodged, "This is difficult, okay? I'm not a doctor, and how do I know if you will lie to me? After all, you make money by selling yourself. How much money do you have in your pocket?"
At this time, the handsome man didn't know if he was mad at Cuiqiao. His beautiful face only became darker and bluer, but he spoke a lot more eloquently: "I was the leader of the husband at the time, and I had a lot of money in my hand." A sum of savings! Will you do this business or not?"
As soon as the words fell, the black blood from coughing and wheezing only stained Yan Lang's clothes black.
If it weren't for the fact that Cui Qiao was the only one in the wilderness right now who had the ability to save him, he really didn't want to say any nonsense to Cui Qiao at the moment.
He didn't dare to take off the arrow, and he passed out completely after a moment.
