Chapter 140 Chase

It was quiet at night, even in the palace where the waves were surging during the day.

Jiang Zuilan temporarily stayed in Li Chu's house. The corridor was quiet and elegant, and the sky was still gloomy.

On the corridor, Li Chu was wearing a navy blue brocade robe with a white jade belt. At this moment, a charming figure jumped out from behind him and stood beside him with a smile.

Just as the girl was about to say something, she noticed something was wrong with his expression and looked over with his clear water eyes.

Jiang Zuilan saw the girl tug on Li Chu's sleeve and seemed to say something to him.

The expression on Li Chu's face was a little uncertain for a moment.

When he raised his head again, his face was already cold. Then, he turned around and saw Jiang Zuilan not far away, turned around and walked towards Jiang Zuilan without looking back.

That girl was Yun Wanxi. Seeing Li Chu walking towards Jiang Zuilan, she seemed to be angry for a moment and stomped away.

Jiang Zuilan turned back to look at the girl who had just left. At the other end of the corridor, the girl lowered her head and muttered something. Behind her, two figures looked towards Jiang Zuilan and moved away in an instant.

Already.

Jiang Zuilan's eyes deepened, and then he looked away.

"What's wrong, Alan?"

At this time, Li Chu had already walked to Jiang Zuilan and stood in front of her. He looked at her eyes and asked.

"Who was that just now?"

"It's the eighth princess, Yun Wanxi."

Li Chu pondered for a moment and said.

"oh."

"Things in the palace..." Jiang Zuilan thought for a while and said, I'm afraid the new emperor will soon ascend the throne.

"King Yu will ascend the throne in three days, and the people in the Shangshu Mansion... will be dealt with after the new emperor ascends the throne." Li Chu said while watching Jiang Zuilan's reaction, but he did not see any expression on her face.

"..."

It was very quiet at night, as if they were shocked by the palace change, and even the people around them did not dare to make any noise.

Jiang Zuilan suddenly opened her eyes and suddenly felt a gust of biting wind, carrying an indescribable fishy smell, blowing to the tip of her nose.

Sure enough, I saw two black figures moving quickly on the window, and the door was pried open. Just the moment the door was opened, a gust of wind hit me.

"Wow——"

Jiang Zuilan curled his lips, this chair is really not strong, it will be broken into pieces after a beating.

She picked up a broken chair leg and hit the two people.

The two people didn't seem to expect that the person in front of them was capable of martial arts. They were startled and were knocked down by Jiang Zuilan.

At this moment, there was a burst of rapid and heavy footsteps outside.

Li Chu ran here while putting on his clothes. When he saw Jiang Zuilan, a light suddenly flashed across his gloomy face, and he hurried over: "Alan!"

"Are you okay? He-them?"

Li Chu said, looking her up and down, as if to see if there were any injuries on her body.

"fine."

Seeing that Jiang Zuilan was okay, Li Chu lowered his head slightly and looked at the people on the ground. He swallowed his worries and said, "Who are they?"

"They just came here during the day."

"What?!" Li Chu was shocked. He stepped forward and took off the two people's face scarves. Sure enough, they were the two guards beside Yun Wanxi.

"She really-"

Li Chu's face was pale and bloodless for a moment. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "I have made it clear to her during the day, how can she still...!"

She really wants to kill Alan!

Thinking of this, Li Chu couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

If so, then——

His gaze slowly moved outside, where the endless night covered all the light.

Jiang Zuilan only looked at the scene in front of her calmly, her cold eyes without any emotion.

"Alan, what do you want to do with them?"

"It's up to you."

In the end, Li Chu let the two people go, which Jiang Zuilan expected.

Those two people belong to the princess, and since she is living with him now, she will naturally not embarrass him.

The next day, Li Chu went out early in the morning.

In the afternoon, Jiang Zuilan had just finished eating when he heard heavy footsteps and someone knocking on the door. When the doorman opened the door, he saw soldiers at the door. The soldiers were wearing armor and had unsheathed swords.

The boy was so frightened by the chill emanating from his body that he choked his voice.

Those people walked in coldly and stopped beside Jiang Zuilan.

He glanced at Jiang Zuilan and said, "Are you the concubine from the Shangshu Mansion?"

After a while, Jiang Zuilan slowly said: "Are you here to catch me?"

"Eighth Princess, please come." The leader slowly raised his eyes, and there was no more emotion in his blue-gray eyes.

"Okay." Jiang Zuilan glanced at the people behind the leader. They were a small group of about twenty people.

Hearing Jiang Zuilan's words, a light flashed in the man's eyes. He slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Zuilan, with a faint curl of the corner of his mouth -

"please."

Then, Jiang Zuilan met the eighth princess Yun Wanxi.

The moment Yun Wanxi saw Jiang Zuilan, the calmness on her face was shattered. Her watery eyes turned slightly red. Looking at Jiang Zuilan, her whole body felt depressed for a moment.

"Are you the remnant of the Shangshu Mansion?" Yun Wanxi said, the delicate makeup on her face a little faded.

"Didn't the princess already know?" Jiang Zuilan slowly raised his eyes and looked at her quietly.

"Do you like Li Chu?" Yun Wanxi looked at Jiang Zuilan, not caring whether she saluted him or not, but asked what she had wanted to ask for a long time.

"dislike."

Yun Wanxi's eyes flashed, and she met Jiang Zuilan's eyes, looking at her seriously.

Her hands clenched into fists and she clenched them hard.

After a long time, her eyes slowly calmed down, and she nodded slowly: "Very good, what if I let you leave him?"

Hearing Yun Wanxi's words, Jiang Zuilan thought for a moment and said slowly: "Okay."

The expression on Yun Wanxi's face was filled with joy. She didn't expect that things would be so simple. She thought that this woman would toast and skip the fine wine. Now it seems that the rest of the matter can be completely omitted.

She had already thought about it. If the matter couldn't be solved, she would just let her subordinates take her...

Last night, he asked two of his men to kidnap her, but who knew they would miss her.

Moreover, Li Chu came to question her very early in the morning, which made her feel very uncomfortable. Isn't she a princess who can't compare to a concubine?

This Li Chu really has no discernment. He wants to have good looks and a good family background, but he actually likes this stinky girl who wants nothing.

Yun Wanxi sighed, but she just liked him.

"but……"

The joy on Yun Wanxi's face had not faded. When she heard this sentence, she frowned again: "What?"

"However, I don't know if the princess has ever heard of a saying that it's difficult to move without money."

Yun Wanxi's eyes suddenly widened. She thought that the person in front of her would have thousands of reasons, but she didn't expect that she would say it so directly.

Yun Wanxi couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, but a burst of ecstasy surged into her heart. She looked at Jiang Zuilan with a somewhat disdainful look in her eyes, "Go and get her one hundred thousand taels of silver!"

"I want a banknote." Jiang Zuilan added again.

"Go get it." After Yun Wanxi said this, she waved her hand!

…

Jiang Zuilan took the banknote and directly hired a carriage. The carriage left the capital. He didn't know where the destination was, but that didn't matter. It was up to him wherever he went.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves behind him, and the neighing of the horses was getting closer and closer. Jiang Zuilan opened the curtain of the carriage, and saw a group of people dressed in ordinary clothes riding up. The sharp knives in their hands were filled with iron and blood.

Seeing the fishy smell, and seeing it getting closer and closer, the coachman was so frightened that he threw down the carriage and ran away. The man who caught up with him slashed him to the ground with a knife.

"Are you the princess's people or..." Jiang Zuilan's voice was cold, and he stared at the leader closely, and then said in deep thought, "Are you the prince Yu's people?"

When Jiang Zuilan said King Yu, the man's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Seeing the man's look, Jiang Zuilan already knew the answer.

That King Yu was indeed ruthless, and he was also capable of initiating a palace coup and killing his own brother to gain power. How could he be a kind person?

It seems that they are not prepared to let themselves slip through the trap.
