The door of an ordinary carriage suddenly opened on the roadside.
The female driver immediately jumped off the carriage, lowered her head and stretched out her hand.
A hand slowly reached out and rested firmly on the back of the female driver's hand.
That hand was obviously a woman's hand at first glance, but it was different from the delicate and soft hands of ordinary women. The joints were distinct, slender and dry, the palm was extra wide, and thick calluses could be seen on the knuckles.
These hands are not pretty, but they are very powerful.
A tall woman wearing a hat and riding clothes got out of the car. With the support of the female driver, she dismounted on the wooden ladder.
Just standing in front of the carriage, she exuded a domineering majesty that made people dare not look directly at her. Her face could not be seen clearly through the long hanging fence, but her voice sounded like thirty-five or six.
Mu Ling looked over in surprise, "Your Highness?" She didn't expect that the eldest princess would come in person.
With the word "Your Highness," the woman's identity became instantly clear.
The common people who were still standing around the carriage were immediately frightened and knelt down. In the blink of an eye, a circle of people gathered around the carriage.
Even the people from Baihe and Huangcheng Division bent down in fear.
The old man who knew about it saw a few people standing around him who were still hanging on for their lives, so he quickly grabbed a few of them and said, "Kneel down quickly, that's Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"
Qin Yao and Liu Ji, who were being dragged by their clothes, looked at each other and squatted down with the children in tacit agreement. Anyway, they were far away and the princess, who was kneeling or not, should not be able to see them.
Just peeping at the majestic and domineering eldest princess from a distance, Liu Ji was greatly disappointed.
He thought that all princesses were elegant and beautiful, but why did the eldest princess look so simple and concise, and her aura looked a bit like that of a wicked woman in her family?
Just thinking about this made Liu Ji tremble and began to sympathize with the prince-in-law whom he had never met before.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, I don't know what kind of life that person lived.
The eldest princess stood in front of the carriage and said to Mu Ling in an incomprehensible voice: "Come here."
Bai He dared to cross his wooden feathers again, so he had to ask his men to let go of her.
Mu Ling glanced at Bai He and Liu Qian fiercely, then walked quickly to the eldest princess and knelt down on one knee to apologize.
“My subordinates did things poorly, which caused His Highness to come out in person. Please punish me!”
The power fence worn by the eldest princess was tilted slightly, as if she glanced at her. Through the power fence screen, she felt the gaze of the owner of those eyes. Mu Ling's throat tightened, and she swallowed nervously. It hangs even lower.
It seemed like a long time passed, but it seemed like only a short moment. The fence that came to the side turned back, and Mu Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“My subordinates are ignorant and have caused trouble to you all.” The eldest princess said in a gentle tone, apologetically to Liu Qian and Bai He.
The two of them lowered their backs in fear, Liu Qian said in a hurry that he didn't dare.
A laugh came from under the fence, and he looked at Bai He, "How is the prince doing lately? Has the assassin who wanted to kill the prince been caught?"
Bai He shook his head, "I would like to thank the Princess for your concern on behalf of the Crown Prince. Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been doing well recently and the assassin has been caught."
She said in a slightly surprised tone, "Really? Yesterday, I heard that Mr. He personally led people to chase him outside Nanlou Pass, and he was captured so quickly?"
White Crane nodded, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Yes, he has been captured."
"Then I'm relieved. The prince is really lucky to have you by his side." She laughed again, sounding like the eldest sister was caring about her younger brother and felt relieved knowing that he was safe.
“Then let's go, my lords, please continue.” The eldest princess nodded to Bai He and Liu Qianqing, turned around and got into the ordinary carriage.
Mu Ling led his horse and followed the carriage, and the three of them quickly walked away. It seemed that the eldest princess was just passing by and was not involved in the Zhu family's raid.
However, in fact, a quarter of an hour had passed since she showed up and chatted slowly. Coupled with the time created by Mu Ling earlier, it was enough time for the female members of the Zhu family to pack up and prepare.
And after what happened, the people from the Imperial City Department did not dare to go too far and did not search for the jewelry carried by the Zhu family's female relatives.
But everything in the Zhu Mansion was confiscated, not even the stools were spared. In less than half an hour, the originally wealthy and luxurious Zhu Mansion turned into an empty house.
Liu Ji watched helplessly, not knowing what to think of, and he was frightened to death.
Qin Yao looked at him strangely, "What are you doing?"
The big shots have left, and the common people stood up again. After watching the excitement, they dispersed and went about their business.
Liu Ji led Siniang to a less crowded area on the street, passed by the empty Zhu Mansion gate, took another look inside, and said with emotion: "How can it be wasted in the blink of an eye?"
He turned around to look for Qin Yao and saw her standing behind him. He felt relieved and muttered in a low voice:
“Madam, do you think that if we offend the powerful people in the capital, will we also end up with our homes confiscated and exiled?”
Qin Yao shook her head seriously, "No."
Liu Ji was overjoyed, "Really?"
A smile appeared on Qin Yao's lips. She looked at him sympathetically and said word by word: "Of course, because we will only end up being beheaded or killed."
Liu Jigang's grinned mouth froze and fell down a little bit, like a mourning concubine, with his head hanging down and his eyebrows drooping, and he never wanted to say a word to her again!
"But if I offended Her Royal Highness the Princess, I wouldn't have ended up like this, right?" Yin Le suddenly looked at Awang and asked in a low voice.
He is a native of the capital, so he must know about things in the capital.
Awang looked at her strangely, "Why do you say that?"
Yin Le grabbed her sleeves and shook her head. She couldn't tell. Just seeing that the eldest princess actually came forward in person when Zhu's house was raided just now, I felt that she wouldn't be so violent.
Awang reminded her: "Have you forgotten Mr. Gongliang's legs?"
Yin Le was startled, "What does this have to do with Mr. Gongliang's legs?"
She still didn't know why Gong Liangliao's legs were missing. Awang glanced at Qin Yao and saw that she had no intention of objecting, so he whispered a few words in Yin Le's ear.
Yin Le was immediately shocked, and his hair stood on end, "Mr. Gongliang's legs, his legs are actually..."
What he didn't say was slapped back by Awang.
Realizing that he had almost made a mistake, Yin Le immediately gritted his teeth, took two quick steps to get in front of Qin Yao, and grabbed her wrist - the capital is so scary, Master, help me!
Qin Yao glared at Awang angrily, looking frightened.
Awang looked innocent. Didn't his wife ask him to say it?
Qin Yao sighed softly and patted the back of his apprentice's trembling hand, "Don't worry, as long as you don't seek death, you won't die. We are all honest and good citizens."
Yin Le said more seriously, "Yes, we are good people." As if saying this, there was no need to be afraid.
Qin Yao saw it funny and dragged the lost Liu Ji back from the middle of the road, and the family continued to walk towards Nanshi.
They didn't notice that in the alley, next to the ordinary carriage that should have gone away, a pair of eyes spotted them and were very shocked. (End of chapter)
