Li Yu was taken back by the eldest princess and her son-in-law. It was verified that Zhang Ruyue had indeed gone to Xia Wenlian, and their testimonies were similar. Later, Zhang Ruyue was brought back by Fu Jiuqing and Fu Yizhou, who told Zhang Tuyi that he was going to take over the post of chief guard. Later, General Xia caught the remaining villains in the Wanghai Tower, Those remaining evildoers admitted that they were with the people who assassinated the eldest princess and the son-in-law and took away the son of a son. Those remaining criminals were all killed after they hit the wall.
"Is there any news from Youjiao?" Duan Qingzhi said to Zuo Jiao, the bodyguard behind him.
"Go back to your highness. Right Jiao is already settling down. He will settle everything before the officers and soldiers find them." Zuo Jiao replied.
"Well, we should go to find Ruyue."
In a private room of Man Xiang Lou
"Your Royal Highness" Zhang Ruyue gave a little salute.
"Miss Ruyue, don't be so polite" Duan Qingzhi raised his hand.
Then he said, "Sit down." Zhang Ruyue sat in the position where he served the dishes.
"Thanks to Lady Ruyue, my son can be saved this time."
"The prince can be saved only by himself. The prince knows that the prince knows martial arts, so it's not surprising that the groom was killed, is it?" Zhang Ruyue looked up slightly at Duan Qingzhi, as if he had seen through everything, and his face was expressionless but cold.
"Yu Er is still young, and what she has learned is just some basic Kung Fu." The prince then gently knocked on the table from time to time.
"Thanks to the support of His Highness the Prince and He Xiang, my father was able to move to the position of minister to the right this time." Zhang Ruyue suddenly avoided the topic.
"Don't you want to know who the assassins are?" Duan Qingzhi was confused.
"It has been found out that those assassins are the remnants of some villains under Wang Yao. They want to kill the eldest princess and his son-in-law, and they are going to kill the prince and throw him on the street to avenge Wang Yao." Zhang Ruyue officially responded to Duan Qingzhi's words.
"In fact, you know everything. The teacher said you are smart." Duan Qingzhi looked at Zhang Ruyue, who was looking down, and left his seat to look at the lake outside the window.
"As a woman, it's better not to know some things. Only her family members are the ones Ruyue wants to save." Zhang Ruyue looks at the wine on the table. Although she wants to drink it, she doesn't touch it, just drinks the tea put in front of her.
"Everything has been handled. It should be five days before Lord Zhang arrives in the capital."
"Well, thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Ruyue said that she was going to get up and leave, when the prince stopped her.
"Next month, the empress will prepare a gift for me to choose the princess. Will you come?" Duan Qingzhi suppressed his tone, but he was eager to know what Zhang Ruyue thought.
"If the post is posted, it will come," Zhang Ruyue said and got up and left.
Because she was dressed in men's clothes without makeup, wore a hat to cover her face, and tied a piece of cloth on her hand, she only gave the number plate and silver when she saw the waiter, and did not say anything, so her identity did not arouse suspicion from others.
Zhang Ruyue did not go to Xia Wenlian immediately after thinking that day, but Fu Yizhou. She told Fu Yizhou about her guess, because she knew that although Fu Yizhou did not express that he was right, he was the prince's man.
She asked Fu Yizhou to take her to see the prince, and told him that when she went to Wanghai Tower to have wine a few days ago, she heard several people who spoke with a northern accent. They had obvious cocoons on their hands. It seemed that they had been trained in the army.
Then the prince told her that there would be a carriage passing through the East Street in Shenshi. The people on it were the prince and a groom, who needed her to find a legitimate reason to save the prince accidentally. What the prince wanted to do was to catch the assassins and the "northern people".
Zhang Ruyue didn't care whether the prince was alive or dead at that time. She also knew that the prince intended to protect the prince. She just wanted to know whether his father was the one who broke the situation, but she was wrong. They never thought of letting Zhang Tuyi break the situation. His majesty's capture of the son was just a warning to the eldest princess and the son-in-law, but it was always his grandson and would not kill him. The prince should have gone to ask his majesty for someone to pass, So I know when a carriage will pass by today.
However, the prince didn't tell the emperor's son-in-law and the eldest princess about this, but he just mentioned it, but smart people knew what to do as long as they heard a key word, so the prince must have said something on purpose to let them know that the assassins the prince wanted to catch were the people of the emperor's son-in-law, and they should have died, so they had no choice but to use these "northerners".
Zhang Tuyi was just used to confuse people, because his majesty's sudden consent to Zhang Tuyi as a minister would lead people to think that there must be a connection between the two, but the prince knew that it was his majesty's act and went to him. He also wanted to know what the purpose was, but the matter was no longer important. The prince should want to protect the princess.
Zhang Tuyi had his own residence after he was granted the title in Beijing, and Zhang Ruyue also wished to be reunited with his family. As Shang Shu Wang was busy handing over work with Zhang Tuyi, Zhang Tuyi either returned late or did not return at night. He simply could not take care of his family affairs and went to see Xia Wenmo, the general who satisfied him.
He thought that he would ask Zhang Ruyue about his idea when he had time. Before he knew it, he would go to the palace to hold a ceremony for the prince to choose his wife. Zhang Ruyue was invited. When Zhang Tuyi knew that it was already the day before the ceremony of choosing the princess, he went to Zhang Ruyue in a rage.
"Like the moon, like the moon" Zhang Tuyi shouted loudly before entering Zhang Ruyue's yard. After entering the yard, he looked around for Zhang Ruyue's shadow, and finally saw Zhang Ruyue practicing calligraphy in the small pavilion.
"Oh, Ruyue, why do you want to promise to participate in the ceremony of selecting the crown princess?" Zhang Tuyi interrupted Zhang Ruyue who was practising calligraphy.
"Why can't I go when I get the post?" Zhang Ruyue put down her pen, sat down on the chair beside her and drank tea.
"Why didn't he tell me when he received the sticker?" Zhang Tuyi also picked up his cup and drank tea, in a somewhat dissatisfied tone.
"My father is busy with business all day. He either leaves early and returns late or doesn't come back directly. How can I have a chance to talk to my father?" Zhang Ruyue complained.
"Oh, I can't help it. I'm not familiar with these things for the first time. There must be many places to learn."
"So my father is busy. I have no chance to discuss with him."
"But if you are..., I will be here for General Xia..." Zhang Tuyi hesitated and broke his words.
"If I am selected as the princess, my father wants me to marry Xia Wenmo."
"Yes, but what should we do now?"
"Once the general Xia was not hired, my father didn't go to the Xia mansion to say that the two families would want to marry. Isn't it normal for me to take part in the ceremony of selecting the crown princess? Besides, it's one thing whether I can choose one or not. Besides, these things are all predetermined. I just want to see the excitement."
"You see the excitement? How can things of the royal family be discussed like this? And the prince came when he was near the city. He was very curious about you and asked me for several pieces of your pen and ink. I doubt whether you and the prince have an affair?" Zhang Tuyi said something angrily.
"My father never said this in the letter? And don't my father know that women's innocence can't be talked about?" Zhang Ruyue said in an interrogative tone, looking at Zhang Tuyi.
"I just want you to marry a better family, but I don't want you to join the royal family. The water there is too deep. If something happens to you, I can't pull you." Zhang Tuyi replied with a guilty heart.
"I know what my father means. What I should do tomorrow is to go. My father has just been promoted. If he refuses, his father will understand this better than me." Zhang Ruyue put down her tea cup and returned to her boudoir.
"Is he pleased with me?"
