Jiang Xiaoran finally had a chance to talk to Ye Siming alone.
“It was too dangerous. Do you know why His Majesty was so nervous?”
Ye Siming poured himself some tea. As he drank, he looked at the child who was stroking a rabbit not far away with an indifferent gaze.
He asked casually, “Why?”
Jiang Xiaoran said in a mysterious tone, “There were assassins in the imperial abode! They almost kidnapped the Xie Family’s eldest daughter. If I hadn’t come into this by chance, she would have gone missing by now.
“His Majesty was worried that there will be more people lying in ambush in the forest, thinking that something has happened to you and the princess.” Ye Siming frowned at first. “Assassins?
Only then did he look Jiang Xiaoran in the eye and sized him up a few times.
“These bruises on your face were beaten up by assassins?
Jiang Xiaoran patted his chest proudly. “I didn’t let those two assassins off easy either. Their faces are even worse. It you don’t believe me, go to the woodshed to take a look later!”
Soon, he thought of something and changed his words. “Oh, you probably can’t see anymore. They’ve already been tortured by His Majesty until they don’t look human anymore.”
Ye Siming sneered, a teasing look hidden in his lazy and arrogant eyes.
“There were just two of them, but they can beat you up like this. Jiang Xiaoran, you have to practice well.”
Jiang Xiaoran frowned. “You can’t blame me for this. They were instructed by the Huang Family and were martial arts experts!”
Ye Siming was about to look for Gu Nuo’er when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned around with a cold expression. “Who did you say? The Huang Family?”
“That’s right. The two assassins said that it was Lord Huang’s eldest son, Huang Changrui, who sent them over. However, Huang Changrui probably heard that something had gone wrong and ran away. We haven’t found him
yet. ”
Ye Siming’s eyes were cold and gleaming.
After a moment, he sneered. “Looks like he hadn’t learned a lesson last time.”
He didn’t hit him hard enough!
He was good at finding people.
Jiang Xiaoran was stunned. “What do you mean? Do you have a grudge against the Huang Family?”
Before Ye Siming could answer, an imperial guard quickly rode over.
“Your Majesty! Eldest Young Master Huang has been found!”
Everyone quickly pricked up their ears to listen.
Gu Yihan narrowed his eyes. “Where is he?”
“This subordinate was ordered to search the forest and discovered Eldest Young Master Huang who had fallen to the ground in a dense forest.”
After the imperial guard finished speaking, there were two other fast horses behind him. The guards rode them and dragged a wooden board behind them.
A person covered in dirt was tied up with a straw rope.
When the officials saw the person, they immediately recognized him!
Wasn’t this Lord Huang’s eldest son, Huang Changrui?!
Huang Changrui was lying on the wooden board and wailing non-stop, “My legs are so numb and sore. Are they going to be crippled?!”
Gu Yihan frowned. “What is he howling about?”
The imperial guards brought up a few stones and small white sections of threads.
“We also saw this setup that looks like a hidden mechanism beside Eldest
Young Master Huang. These few stones must have hit Eldest Young Master Huang’s acupoints and made him temporarily unable to move. This subordinate also brought them back.”
When Gu Nuo’er heard this, she quickly jumped to her father’s side.
She tiptoed and glanced at the stones with her round eyes.
She immediately said happily, “It’s my mechanism!”
Gu Yihan picked the child up and asked with a bright smile, “Baby Nuo, this is yours?”
“That’s right! Eighth Brother taught me about mechanisms. I originally wanted to catch a little rabbit, but when the bear came, I forgot about them. I didn’t expect to catch a big guy!”
Looking at Huang Changrui, who was wailing non-stop, Gu Yihan immediately laughed brightly.
“Dear subjects, did you see that?! Did you hear that?! The princess is so lucky. Who would dare to act rashly?”
The officials lowered their heads, frightened by the princess’s overly blessed luck..
