In Tai'an Hall, Xue Xuening and Xiao Yinshuang were waiting anxiously.
Xie Wanyu walked into the house and leaned slightly, "I have met my grandmother."
Mrs. Xiao nodded slightly and rarely asked her to come and sit next to her.
Xie Wanyu ignored Xiao Yinshuang and Xue Xuening from beginning to end, and sat directly next to Mrs. Xiao.
Seeing her like this, their expressions changed, and they suppressed their displeasure as they thought of what they were going to say later.
"Grandma, I heard that there is a temple outside the city that is extremely efficacious. Many people travel thousands of miles to pray for blessings. I plan to go and pray for grandma." Xue Xuening said with a smile on her face.
Mrs. Xiao didn't know the wishful thinking of the two, she only thought that Xue Xuening was deliberately trying to please her.
Xie Wanyu pretended not to know and sneered, "I won't go. My body is too weak and I'm afraid I'm not suitable for mountain climbing."
"How about that?" When Xiao Yinshuang heard that she refused to go, she suddenly stood up from the chair.
"Why not?" Xie Wanyu gently opened her red lips and said slowly.
Xue Xuening's smile froze. She didn't expect Xiao Yinshuang to be so impatient. If Xie Wanyu noticed it, their plan would be ruined.
"My sister-in-law means that we should go together. This would be more sincere. Doesn't my sister-in-law hope that my grandmother will be safe?"
"If you can seek peace by just praying, what else do you need to do?"
Xue Xuening did not expect that she would refute her face in public, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Xiao was also a little unhappy, "Let's go together. Since you are not feeling well, please ask the maid to accompany you."
"Grandma has already said so, so I will go with you." Xie Wanyu's eyes fell on the faces of Xiao Yinshuang and Xue Xuening, with sarcasm flashing in her eyes.
At this time, Mrs. Xiao had already ordered her to go down and prepare things. After a while, two carriages were neatly lined up at the entrance of the courtyard, ready to set off to the temple outside the city at any time.
As the carriage swayed toward the outskirts of the city, Xie Wanyu leaned lazily against the window frame, closing her eyes and concentrating.
In another carriage, Xiao Yinshuang and Xue Xuening looked at each other, with sinister and cunning curves at the corners of their mouths, and a vicious cold light flashed across their eyes.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if a heavy rain could fall at any time.
A gust of cold wind blew, and the surrounding leaves rustled.
Xie Wanyu frowned. It was sunny and cloudless when she left Kyoto City, but now the sky was frighteningly dark, as if a heavy rain would fall at any time.
The carriage suddenly stopped halfway.
"What's going on?" Zhufang asked as he opened the car curtain.
A group of bandits stood outside, looking at the carriage with evil smiles on their faces.
"This is it?"
"Yes, it should be."
"What are you doing standing still? Come on!"
The driver had never seen such a battle before, and he immediately ran away in fright.
No matter how much Zhu Fang shouted, it was useless.
Several bandits among them touched their chins and looked at the two of them lustfully.
"Brothers, tie these two people up, and we will have endless money in the future."
The bandits cheered.
However, the moment they turned around, a black shadow suddenly attacked, and there were only a few swishing sounds, and a few streaks of blood splashed on the soil.
"Uh-" Several bandits covered their chests and widened their eyes in disbelief.
In the blink of an eye, they were lying on the ground, leaving a trail of blood on their necks.
"Who, who is it! How dare you ruin my good deeds!"
At this time, a dark figure came into view.
"Who...are you!" the bandit leader said through gritted teeth.
Tai Shuyi looked down at him from a high position, "You don't need to know."
After he finished speaking, he jumped up and stabbed the opponent's neck with the long sword in his hand.
With a puff, a large amount of blood spurted out from the bandit's throat, staining the ground red.
The blood on the sword in Tai Shuqi's hand and the ticking sound seemed particularly strange in the quiet woods.
Hiss - the horse was suddenly frightened for some reason, and started running with its hooves raised. The carriage jolted, and Xie Wanyu lost her center of gravity and hit the wall of the carriage.
"Madam, madam..."
Zhu Fang desperately chased after him and saw the carriage running away wildly.
He turned around and shouted: "Your Majesty, there is a cliff ahead, please save my wife."
He tapped his feet lightly and jumped on his horse to chase after him.
Xie Wanyu tried hard to stabilize her body, grabbed the wall of the car and moved outward. However, the wheels rolled violently and almost threw her out. She finally caught the edge, but her body fell back due to inertia.
boom--
A big hand stretched out in time, held her waist and pulled her into her arms.
Xie Wanyu raised her eyes gratefully, and saw that handsome face coming into view.
Tai Shuyi?
"Hold on." Tai Shuqi's gentle voice came to his ears again. He put his arms around Xie Wanyu and walked out of the car.
At this moment, Xie Wanyu realized how nervous she was.
She is not afraid that she will die. She is afraid that if she dies, the Xie family will have no one to protect them.
However, the next second, Xie Wanyu suddenly lifted her into the air. Xie Wanyu felt the whistling wind blowing by her ears, and her body was high in the air.
Her heart was beating fast. The feeling of flying like this was really shocking.
Not long after, the two landed, and the tight strings finally relaxed.
She took a deep breath, looked up at the resolute face in front of her, and her face turned red.
"Thank you... Your Majesty..."
Tai Shuqi lowered his eyes slightly, feeling the body fragrance of the person in his arms, his eyes darkened, and he could even hear the violent beating of his heart.
"Husband, madam, are you okay?" Zhufang put her hands on her knees and breathed desperately. She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person was safe.
Xie Wanyu heard the voice and hurriedly pushed away the person in front of her.
"I'm afraid there's going to be a heavy rain later. Where are you going?" Tai Shuyi asked.
Zhufang came over and replied, "Go back to your lord, my wife is preparing to go to the temple to pray for blessings."
"It's just on our way, let's come together."
Tai Shuqi looked at Xie Wanyu, waiting for her answer.
"Sorry to trouble you, Your Majesty."
Xie Wanyu was already prepared. Even if Tai Shuqi didn't show up, as long as she sent the signal, Dawu would bring officers and soldiers over.
But the fright of the horse was beyond her expectation. It seemed that Xue Xuening really wanted her to die.
She remembered that before leaving, Xue Xuening came over to say a few words to her and even touched the horse. She must have drugged the horse at that time.
The four of them rushed to the temple without stopping. As soon as they entered the temple, it started pouring rain outside.
Several people hid in the temple and waited for the rain to stop. Yan Qingzhao couldn't help but worry, "My lord, is everything going as planned?"
The rain looks heavy, and I'm afraid it won't stop for a while.
"Yes." Taishu Ai responded calmly, saying that there should be no delay in suppressing the bandits.
Xie Wanyu didn't want to say more, but she couldn't resist the worry in her heart and asked, "Does the prince want to suppress the bandits?"
"That's right."
"I heard that there is a famous wizard among the bandits who is good at using poison to harm people, but the poison is afraid of fire, so please be careful."
Xie Wanyu also intentionally reminded him how to deal with a wizard.
Tai Shuqi was so smart that he immediately understood the intention of her words.
Feeling her concern, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
Only Yan Qingzhao asked stupidly, "Madam, how do you know that Gu insect is afraid of fire?"
Tai Shuqi glanced at him, and he immediately shut up and stepped aside.
