Chapter 570 Help!
Hearing the commotion outside, Chu Nanzhi sat in the carriage and ordered in a low voice, unhurriedly: “Let’s go, let’s keep everyone in line and let’s go to the south of the city.”
Sang Qi silently waved to the guards, and a group of people walked out of Beimufang with the carriage guarded at a leisurely pace.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the alley, I saw a bloated middle-aged man running in panic in the torrential rain, shouting as he ran, “Help.”
Footsteps slammed on the ground, splashing waves of sand mist.
Chu Nanzhi opened the corner of the car curtain and looked out. She didn’t recognize Han Yicheng, but the figure of the person chasing behind him looked very familiar. He was only covered by a veil, but his clothes were not the same as when she saw him at noon. no difference.
She pretended to be surprised and shouted into the distance: “But Han Yicheng?”
“Exactly.”
As if seeing a savior, Han Yicheng rushed to the carriage with big strides, recognized Princess Pingning at a glance, and shouted for help: “Princess, save the officer.”
“Oh?”
Chu Nanzhi pretended to look at the four big men who were chasing up, and said coquettishly, “Who is so bold, who dares to commit murder in the street in broad daylight, and I will take them all down.”
Seeing this, the guards rushed straight up.
“Catch those who are alive, I want to live.”
Chu Nanzhi exhorted the guards excitedly.
While everyone was fighting, Chu Nanzhi looked at Han Yicheng who was in a panic, and asked wonderingly: “Who did Yicheng offend? Someone wants to murder you in broad daylight?”
“I don’t know, I don’t know.”
Han Yicheng also had a bitter expression on his face. He lived his life carefully, but he never offended anyone.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, I’ll find out when the assassin is taken down.”
Chu Nanzhi passed a paper umbrella out from the carriage, and said with concern: “Master Yicheng, let’s take shelter in the carriage.”
“The lower officials dare not.”
Han Yicheng buried his head in fear, not daring to meet her eyes.
“Then hold the umbrella, don’t get wet.”
Chu Nanzhi stretched out her hand to prop up the umbrella, and warmly handed it to him.
Han Yicheng took the umbrella and looked at the guards beside him, feeling more at ease.
After a while, I saw a few guards escorting a veiled strong man over.
He Ying put away the knife, and pretended to report to Chu Nanzhi: “Princess, my subordinates are incompetent. They only caught one assassin, and the other three escaped.”
“It’s raining so much, it would be nice to catch one.”
Chu Nanzhi smiled casually, asked He Ying to bring the young servant to him, and asked aggressively on purpose: “Who ordered you to assassinate Mr. Yi Cheng?”
The young servant was startled, showing an extremely confused expression.
Fortunately, there is a veil blocking it, so that people can’t see the strangeness on his face.
“Your Highness’s canonization ceremony is imminent, how can there be troubles in the city again, take this guy back to the mansion for safekeeping, if he is willing to confess honestly, he can save his life, if he refuses to confess, then find a place where no one is around and settle this guy, Give Master Yi Cheng a bad breath.”
Chu Nanzhi pretended to be angry and ordered.
Han Yicheng was still hesitating, but He Ying sent several people to take the masked man down quietly.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the dazed Yicheng, couldn’t help snickering in her heart, and then said calmly and calmly: “Please forgive me, Master Yicheng, you also know that there have been a lot of things happening in the city recently, Your Highness has already It’s very frustrating, if you let him know about this matter again, and get involved with the Lord for no reason, I’m afraid it’s hard for me to persuade him, after all, Lord Yi Cheng is an old man in the county, I don’t want to see you being implicated innocently .”
“The concubine is thoughtful, and the officials are very grateful.”
Han Yicheng was also worried. These assassins came for no reason, which made him completely clueless.
“Master Yicheng, let’s get on the carriage. It just so happens that I’m going to the south of the city to do some business, so I’ll give Master Yicheng a ride along the way.”
Chu Nanzhi’s eyes flickered and she sighed sadly: “Your Majesty Yicheng, you should be more careful in the future. What you met today was Ben Gong. If you encounter something like this again next time, you may not be so lucky.”
Han Yicheng nodded heavily with a bitter face, and roughly guessed in his heart who was trying to kill him.
It seems that now the only thing to do is to seek refuge from the princess.
After deliberating for a while, he finally let go of his worries, straightened his clothes, and got into the carriage with a heavy face.
Chu Nanzhi was overjoyed, it seemed that the old guy was afraid after all, and he didn’t want to provoke him any more, just quietly watching the rain scene outside the car curtain.
After a long time, Han Yicheng finally couldn’t hold back, and took the initiative to say frankly: “Actually, the lower official guessed who wanted to kill me.”
“Oh? It seems that Mr. Yicheng really has a grudge with others?”
Chu Nanzhi cooperated with him, immediately showing a look of astonishment.
“It’s not that the lower officials intend to make enemies.”
Han Yicheng frowned and said: “Because a few days ago, the lower official overheard a few servants in the Rongning Garden whispering about something in the post house, and the lower official was curious, so he went to the garden, just happened to Came across this.”
“Rongning Garden?”
Chu Nanzhi asked in surprise again: “Isn’t that the other courtyard where Concubine Yue lives? Is there anything in it worthy of Master Yicheng’s curiosity?”
“Hey, Wangfei, it’s really hard for an official to talk about this.”
Han Yicheng is already in a state of desperation, and he is in a dilemma: “I only hope that the official will come and tell the truth, and the princess can think of some ways to save the official’s life.”
“Is it so serious?”
Chu Nanzhi also frowned: “What on earth can make Mr. Yi Cheng so scared? Could it be that Mr. Yi bumped into something that shouldn’t be seen?”
“Hey.”
Han Yicheng sighed deeply again.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Chu Nanzhi hurriedly urged: “Lord Yicheng, it’s okay to say, although my palace is not as noble as Concubine Yue, but at least it’s the governor’s wife of Pingning Prefecture, His Royal Highness’s concubine, so naturally I can’t just sit and watch As long as his servants are harmed innocently, as long as it is within the power of this palace, I will definitely help you out of your worries and problems.”
Han Yicheng struggled desperately in his heart again, and finally blurted out: “Concubine Yue Gui and His Royal Highness Nandu Wang committed adultery in Rongning Garden.”
“Adultery?”
Chu Nanzhi showed a shocked expression, and pretended to reprimand: “Han Yicheng, don’t slander good people with empty words, those are Concubine Yue and Uncle Three Emperors, and regardless of their extremely high status, one is Your Majesty. One is His Majesty’s imperial concubine, how could they do such a rebellious thing.”
“It’s absolutely true.”
Han Yicheng’s thick eyebrows trembled and his whole face darkened: “I know that His Highness will never trust this matter, so I dare not speak nonsense.”
“But you told me today.”
Chu Nanzhi stared at him with deep eyes.
“Because Concubine Yue Gui and the King of Nandu wanted to kill the officials, and the officials only wanted to find a way to survive.”
Han Yicheng didn’t beat around the bush, but expressed his feelings directly.
“Well, if these assassins were really sent by Concubine Yue Gui and Uncle Sanhuang today, it would be understandable for Han Yicheng to want to expose them.”
Chu Nanzhi sighed for a long time: “You can catch thieves, take stolen goods, and take advantage of traitors. Even the one-sided words of Mr. Yicheng are hard to believe.”
