Chapter 291 Chapter 290 Meeting Wei Chang

Jiang Ruanxi on this side didn't know what was happening in the palace. She didn't know how long she had been walking, but there was still no light in the corridor. Her feet were so tired that she couldn't lift them, and she was dizzy from hunger.

I couldn't bear it any longer, so I leaned against the wall and slowly squatted down.

Suddenly, she felt something cool at her feet. Jiang Ruanxi touched it reflexively. It felt icy and slippery, and seemed to be moving. She looked down and saw a snake as big as her two little fingers, sticking out its tongue at her.

"what."

Jiang Ruanxi was so scared that she threw the torch in her hand far away. She also jumped far away, but due to long-term hunger, she fell to the ground all of a sudden.

The thrown torch was extinguished, and the corridor became dark again.

Jiang Ruanxi looked at the snake not far away that was emitting green light and slowly crawling towards her, and her face turned pale with fright.

She has always been afraid of reptiles of this kind, especially snakes.

My body moved backwards involuntarily.

But the snake seemed to find it very amusing and slowly followed her.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruanxi, who had not dared to speak, was so scared that she could no longer care about anything else and screamed, "Ah, don't come over here!"

He closed his eyes and waved his hands around.

Looking down, I could hear the sound of footsteps, which seemed to be getting denser and louder.

Jiang Ruanxi thought that Jiang Minghuai and the others had discovered her, and her heart suddenly contracted.

Her survival instinct made her no longer care about the snake in front of her. She immediately got up and ran in the opposite direction of the sound.

The people behind her seemed to have heard her shouting, and their footsteps became faster and faster.

Jiang Ruanxi's face turned pale, and she knew that if she was caught, Jiang Minghuai and the others would never let her go.

All I can do is run for my life.

"thump."

Jiang Ruanxi fell to the ground.

She tried to get up, but her hands and feet were weak.

After a while, she heard footsteps behind her, and then someone stepped hard on her back. The pain made her forehead sweat, but she dared not make any sound.

"Who are you? How do you know this secret passage?" A cold voice came from behind.

Jiang Ruanxi's body stiffened and she couldn't help but cry.

"Husband, husband, it's me."

Jiang Ruanxi seemed to have suffered a great injustice and cried out in a crying voice.

Hearing the familiar voice, Wei Chang's body stiffened. He put his feet down and picked up Jiang Ruanxi by the waist.

Seeing that her face was covered with mud and her tears had soaked the mud and solidified on her face, Wei Chang still recognized her as Jiang Ruanxi.

"Xier, why are you here?" Wei Chang asked as he wiped the mud off her face.

Jiang Ruanxi seemed to have found her backbone. She hugged his waist tightly and cried out what had happened to her recently.

Wei Chang was heartbroken by her crying. He patted her on the back and let her express her emotions.

Accompany her silently.

When she finally finished crying, Jiang Ruanxi raised her head, looked at him with wet eyes, and asked in confusion, "Weren't you exiled? Why are you here?" "The exile is fake"

It turns out that Wei Chang's exile was fake. It was a trap set up between him and Emperor Qin. He wanted to watch the Jiang family and those treacherous ministers make trouble. He used the name of exile to make secret preparations and wait for the right opportunity to act.

But he did not expect that those traitors were so impatient. Not long after he left, they started taking action.

Listening to Wei Chang telling her everything, Jiang Ruanxi was not surprised at all, as if she had known it for a long time. Wei Chang was a little puzzled, "Why aren't you surprised at all?"

"After you left, I went to the court to appeal for you. Eunuch Li secretly told me to be well and wait for your return. I thought you were exiled, and that when the time came, the Emperor would find a reason to bring you back, or when there were changes, you would come back with the army to rescue His Majesty." Jiang Ruanxi explained.

So when she was wrongly accused and beaten by Zhong Ding in the palace not long ago, she did not fight back, because she wanted to create a false impression to paralyze the people of the Jiang family. After venting her anger, she could use the name of recuperating from her injuries to secretly make arrangements for Wei Chang in the capital.

But I didn't expect the change to come so quickly.

Wei Chang nodded. Thinking that Emperor Qin was now in an uncertain state of life or death, his face became a little depressed. "We have discussed everything, but I didn't expect them to be so cruel and attack my father directly."

Jiang Ruanxi held his hand and comforted him, "Father, you will be blessed by heaven, nothing will happen. Now our most important thing is to deal with those traitors."

"Yes." Wei Chang remembered something Jiang Ruanxi hadn't answered just now, and couldn't help but continue, "Why are you here? Not many people know about this secret passage."

"The rain pushed me down."

Speaking of this, Jiang Ruanxi's eyes were filled with sadness.

I don't know what the rain is like now.

"What's going on?" Wei Chang frowned.

Before he left, in order to allow Yu Shui to protect Jiang Ruanxi well and help them escape disaster when they were in trouble, he told Yu Shui about the secret passage in the mansion.

Jiang Ruanxi told the whole story of how Jiang Minghuai came to the mansion to kill her and how Yu Shui pushed her down to save her.

Wei Chang's face was filled with frost. He didn't expect Jiang Minghuai to be so cruel that he even spared his own daughter.

Suddenly, Jiang Ruanxi remembered what she heard when she was pushed down. After thinking about it, she decided to tell Wei Chang.

"I heard them seem to be looking for me in a hurry, saying they would find me before tomorrow night. Do they have some conspiracy?"

Wei Chang shook his head. "I don't know yet, but don't be afraid. I'm back. I won't let those people hurt you."

Wei Chang was afraid that she was scared, so he comforted her.

"I'm not afraid as long as you are here." Jiang Ruanxi held his hand tightly.

"Now we have to figure out what they mainly want to do. I always feel that they are a little hasty in rebelling. Is there some mystery?" Jiang Ruanxi was still worried.

"Let's go up first, and I'll have someone check it out then."

"There should be people from their family in the mansion. Will we be discovered if we go up there?"

Jiang Ruanxi didn't expect Wei Chang to actually say he wanted to go up.

Kyoto is in chaos right now. If he shows up in Jingdong, those people will find any excuse to kill him.

Taking a quick glance, she saw soldiers standing there with no end in sight. She didn't know how many of them there were, but with so many people, they would soon be exposed.

"Don't go to the mansion. Let's go to another place that can accommodate us. Someone will pick us up when the time comes."

Jiang Ruanxi also believed that he could make the arrangements. "Well, I believe you. When the time comes, let's go out and look for Master Bian Du, right? He might be able to help us with some questions."

After all, Bian Du should know about destiny, such metaphysical things.

The reason they were looking for her so urgently might be related to her life-changing incident.
