Chapter 290: Ah Xie Tells Tales
Di Ran held Ji Yunxie without changing his expression, but his expression was not very good when facing Ji Huashang.
His words were somewhat cold: "After all, it was King Rui who invited me. If I watch you die without helping you, it would be too inhumane."
Ji Huashang knew that she was annoyed because of what she said, so she was a little dissatisfied with her.
However, this was something she forced herself to do, so she didn't dare to say anything else and could only force a smile.
Di Ran was surprised by Ji Huashang's calmness, but didn't say anything.
He only said lightly: "It seems to me that the assassin is coming for King Rui. King Rui, do you think you have made enemies recently?"
"This……"
Ji Huashang was stunned when Di Ran mentioned this.
If she hadn't mentioned this, hadn't she noticed that those assassins seemed to be targeting her?
But she had been staying in the mansion these days. Apart from welcoming the envoy a few days ago, she had been recuperating in the mansion the rest of the time and had not done anything to offend anyone.
Where did these assassins come from?
At this moment, Ji Huashang suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Could it be that these assassins were part of the same group as the assassins he encountered when he was suppressing the rebellion?
She was out suppressing banditry at the time and was accidentally injured when she was attacked by a group of men in black.
After returning to the capital, he did not tell his mother about this matter, and he also concealed the fact that the injuries on his body were sustained while suppressing the rebellion.
I have been secretly investigating the origins of those assassins, but to no avail.
Now that I think about it, those men in black were all dressed the same, as well as using the same strange moves. It seems they were the same group of people.
I just don't know who wants to kill her?
Ji Huashang's face was gloomy, a cold light flashed across her eyes, and her expression was slightly restrained.
"Thank you, King Beichen, for the reminder."
Di Ran noticed that Ji Huashang had a strange expression, and thought that she had guessed something, and there was an ambiguous gleam in her eyes.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded, "In that case, I'll leave it to King Rui. This king and Axie will return home first."
Ji Huashang smiled faintly and bowed: "Farewell, King Beichen!"
Di Ran carried Ji Yunxie into the carriage and left under the escort of Di Yi and Shisan.
Looking at the departing backs of Di Ran and others, Ji Huashang restrained his expression.
"Master Xue~"
Xue Fei, who was directing his subordinates to deal with the assassin's body, turned around and walked over when he heard the shout.
"I am here! What do you want, Your Highness?"
Ji Huashang frowned and said, "I will go back to the palace first, and I will leave this matter to you." Xue Fei glanced at the wound on Ji Huashang's body and hurriedly replied, "Yes!"
……
In the carriage, Di Ran held Ji Yunxie in his arms, looked at his slightly pale little face, and touched his head with some heartache.
"I'm sorry for scaring you. It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought you here."
Ji Yunxie was slightly stunned, grabbed Di Ran's sleeve with her little hand, shook her head slightly, and said softly.
"This is none of your business, sir."
Di Ran's eyes were soft and he raised his hand to touch her head tenderly.
"Are you scared?"
Ji Yunxie blinked, his face slightly red, and said in a soft voice: "It's okay~"
I was a little scared at first, but with her protecting me, I didn't feel any danger and felt very safe.
Just... thinking about what happened in the cabin just now.
Ji Yunxie couldn't help but feel sad, and his mood was briefly low.
Di Ran noticed this abnormality, frowned slightly, and asked softly.
"what happened?"
Ji Yunxie pursed his lips slightly, with a look of hesitation, as if he was struggling over whether he should say it or not.
Di Ran seemed to see his embarrassment, so he hugged him close to himself, pinched his face, and smiled in a doting and gentle manner.
"Is there anything we can't talk about?"
"You can say whatever you want. As long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you."
Ji Yun glanced at Di Ran evilly, bit his pink lips lightly, and told him everything he had talked with Ji Ruxue in the cabin.
He didn't want to hide it from her. After all, marriage was not a trivial matter.
My cousin likes A Yue, but he doesn’t know if A Yue knows it.
But even if he doesn't say it, you will know it sooner or later.
My cousin is a proud and arrogant person. If he doesn't want to marry, he will definitely think of other ways.
If he gambled everything on asking His Majesty to grant the marriage, even though His Majesty might not agree, it would be bad if it caused His Majesty to have a grudge against A Yue.
