After breaking off the engagement, the daughter-in-law of the Hou family drove the boss in the capit

The mighty envoys from Western Shu left Qingyang as gloriously as when they arrived.

People on both sides of the road sent each other off, and the current prince Shen Weixun personally took several courtiers outside the city.

"Have a good trip, everyone!" Shen Weixun cupped his hands and said goodbye with a smile to the envoys from Western Shu, with a somewhat perfunctory expression.

The envoy from Xishu naturally saw that, but now that Xishu was in the wrong, he deserved this treatment, and he did not dare to be presumptuous, lest Dongshan Kingdom settle accounts.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality during these days, Your Majesty. When I return to Xishu, I will definitely report it to Your Majesty!" the envoy from Xishu said very politely.

Shen Weixun nodded. At this time, the curtain of the second carriage in the Xishu group was opened. Taihe jumped out of the carriage and came straight to Shen Weixun.

She was too close, and Shen Weixun stepped back slightly, keeping a certain distance.

"Your Majesty, you really don't care about me?" Taihe asked, with teasing in his eyes.

Shen Weixun's face remained calm and he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, "The princess will definitely find her husband. I already have a sweetheart, so naturally I can't delay the princess!"

Taihe tilted his head and smiled. He didn't seem angry at all. He just looked at the Dongshan courtiers and guards and asked in his tone, "She's not here?"

"What did the princess say?"

"Of course it's Princess Jianyue. She and I can be considered friends after all. Didn't she come to see me off when I left today?" Taihe said, his tone was very low, and his smart eyes seemed to also Became bleak.

In fact, Taihe was even sadder at this time than when he had just been rejected by Shen Weixun.

"Princess Jian Yue has other things to do. I'm afraid I won't be able to come to see the princess off today, but she asked me to bring something to the princess!" Shen Weixun said, and the guard behind him handed over a box. Xun handed the wooden box to Taihe.

Taihe quickly took it, waved his hand towards Shen Weixun and got into the carriage. Soon the Xishu convoy had already set off, driving towards the distance in a mighty way.

In the carriage, Taihe couldn't wait to open the box and saw several exquisite gifts in the box.

One of them is a woman's handkerchief, embroidered with gorgeous flowers, just like the scenery the two of them admired together that day.

Taihe couldn't put it down holding the handkerchief. There was nostalgia and reluctance in her eyes, but in the end, she just carried the handkerchief with her and didn't think about it anymore.

If you continue to cut off, you will be subject to chaos.

The convoy of envoys from Xishu was on its way every day. On this day, everyone stayed in the wild when night fell, preparing to wait for dawn to start their journey.

When Taihe got off the carriage, he heard the guards complain that the Eighth Prince had been making a fuss all day long, hitting and scolding the guards.

"Let him go, now he is just a useless person and can't cause any trouble!" Taihe smiled lightly, with sarcasm and disdain in his smile.

The guard took the order, and Duan Xu was sitting slumped in the carriage with dark eyes.

These days, he is like a useless person, needing help from others to eat, drink, and defecate. If he returns to Xishu like this, all he will be waiting for is the rejection of his father and the ridicule and contempt of others. However, Duan Xu has no idea about this. Method.

The night slowly fell, Duan Xu still had his eyes open, and a gust of wind seemed to blow the car curtain.

A figure appeared silently in the carriage. Before Duan Xu could shout, his mouth and nose had been blocked, making him unable to move or make a sound.

Duan Xu's eyes widened, looking at the man who suddenly appeared in the carriage, horrified and helpless.

But because of his irritability these days, the guards stayed far away, especially now that it was dark and most of the guards had gone to bed. Only the patrolling guards were left. This man had excellent martial arts and did not alert the guards at all. .

"Do you want to ask, who am I? What do I want to do?" The visitor smiled, and then asked and answered himself, "Last time you sent someone to assassinate me, don't you know what I look like? I am the second son of Chengjiabao. Young Master, the person you want to assassinate!”

Duan Xu couldn't help but shake his head. He already knew that Cheng Shi was coming with bad intentions. What frightened him even more was that Cheng Shi actually knew that the mastermind behind it was himself. He clearly kept the matter extremely secretive. "If you dare to kill me, I will never let you go!" Cheng Shi said, suddenly taking out a dagger and killing Duan Xu with one blow.

From the beginning to the end, Duan Xu never uttered a single word, and thus ended his life.

The prince who once had the most hope of competing for the throne in Western Shu died quietly in this wilderness.

Cheng Shi watched Duan Xu die, turned around and flew away immediately. He thought he was already hidden, but he didn't want to alert the guards anyway.

Dozens of guards chased Cheng Shi, but Cheng Shi could only fly away.

Just when Cheng Shi was almost entangled by the guards of Xishu, a slender black figure blocked the guards. Cheng Shi saw the person coming and opened his mouth, but was stopped.

"Let's go separately!"

At this moment, Cheng Shi nodded, and the two immediately separated and left, but because of this, the guards were blocked, allowing Cheng Shi to quickly get rid of them.

But on Lin Jianyue's side, the situation was not optimistic.

Originally there were only four or five guards, and Lin Jianyue was completely sure to escape, but she didn't expect that there were secret guards in Xishu. Suddenly many secret guards were alerted and chased Lin Jianyue, forcing Lin Jianyue to return again. The place where envoys from Western Shu were stationed.

Because she knew Cheng Shi's character, she kept Tingzhou paying attention to Cheng Shi when the envoys from Xishu left. Sure enough, Cheng Shi came to assassinate Duan Xu alone.

Lin Jianyue was worried and followed her, but happened to meet Cheng Shi being chased.

Looking at the secret guard behind him, he was about to catch up. Just when Lin Jianyue was frowning in pain, a voice quickly came out: "Princess Princess!"

Lin Jianyue saw that the curtain of a carriage was opened, and Taihe was looking at Lin Jianyue with a worried face.

At this moment, Lin Jianyue gritted her teeth, took a gamble, and rushed into Taihe's carriage. The secret guard behind him has already arrived.

The secret guards had been searching, and naturally they knocked on Taihe's carriage.

In the carriage, Taihe looked as usual, "There is no movement in my princess's carriage. That person may just be a knight from the nearby arena!"

After the secret guard left, Lin Jianyue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Taihe with some gratitude. She never expected that Taihe would save her again.

"Are you injured?" Taihe asked, with concern in his eyes. He didn't ask any questions about why Lin Jianyue appeared here in black.

Lin Jianyue shook her head and looked at Taihe with a somewhat probing look.

"You don't want to ask me what I did?" Lin Jianyue tried.

Taihe smiled, with a doting look on his face, "I must be here to kill the Eighth Prince!"

One sentence made Lin Jianyue look at Taihe with caution, but Taihe reached out and held Lin Jianyue's wrist, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, leave the rest to me!"

Lin Jianyue wanted to ask why Taihe wanted to help her, but she remembered that every time Taihe behaved strangely, she couldn't get the result, so she gave up.

But she is now certain that Taihe is not an enemy.

After the secret guard slowly left, Lin Jianyue was about to leave, but at this time Taihe suddenly hugged Lin Jianyue. Under Lin Jianyue's puzzled eyes, Taihe said in a low voice, "Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!" Lin Jianyue flew away, but Taihe looked at the remaining warmth in his palm and did not move for a long time.
