Chapter 293 Some are happy and some are sad, Lu Jianjia comes to the door.
"Miss, Miss, that toad has admitted defeat. His Majesty said in person that the previous marriage is invalid."
"Sword box, where did the sword box come from!"
The two spoke at the same time, then were both stunned, and then said at the same time again,
"This is the proof of the Toad Prince's surrender. Your Majesty... Your Majesty also asked you to personally deliver it to him..."
"He gave up?"
Lu Jianjia murmured softly, holding up the sword case with one hand and examining it carefully. Her fingers trembled slightly as they brushed across the sword case.
"That's right, that's right..."
At this time, Ye Miaomiao, who was standing by, seemed to have just woken up from her shock and quickly said:
"No! We can't cancel the engagement, Miss. The prince is..."
Before he finished speaking, a chill suddenly rose in the carriage. Lu Jianjia's robes swelled, her hair fluttered without wind, and she uttered a low sigh:
"you shut up!"
Ye Miaomiao immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and her body broke through the car wall and flew backwards.
Seeing this, a hint of panic flashed in Lu Jianjia's eyes. Her figure flashed, and after a moment, she returned to the carriage with Ye Miaomiao in her arms.
"Little, miss?"
Xiaoli had never seen Lu Jianjia treat a woman so harshly, and was stunned for a moment.
Lu Jianjia was breathing heavily. She raised her hand to feel Ye Miaomiao's pulse, then she breathed a sigh of relief, a flash of guilt in her eyes passing away.
Then he glanced at Xiaoli beside him, picked up the sword box and jumped out of the carriage:
"Xiao Li, take good care of her."
Before Xiaoli could come to her senses, she heard a bone-chilling cold breath coming from above her head:
"Li Mu!"
Xiaoli quickly leaned over to take a look, and saw Lu Jianjia standing on the roof of the tallest restaurant on the street, holding a sword in one hand, with a sword case on her back, and her white skirt fluttering in the wind.
"Then, that's the second young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Like a fairy, what did she just yell?"
"Li Mu? The Crown Prince of Yan!"
The onlookers, who had just heard Lu Chongyun announce the end of the duel and the cancellation of the engagement, were preparing to leave.
But they found another big melon, so they hurried back.
"Didn't they say that they had already finished the match privately and the engagement was cancelled?"
"What do you know! My third aunt's second cousin's neighbor's brother-in-law works in the palace. The exact news is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't come at all!"
"Yes! I heard about it too. The second young lady of the Lu family is so proud of her martial arts that she insisted on competing with the prince even though His Majesty had already granted her a marriage. She said that if he couldn't beat her, he wouldn't be worthy of marrying her. So, she's furious now, right?"
"Keep your voice down! How dare you make up stories about the Prime Minister's daughter?"
"You know nothing. I heard that on the day the prince entered the city, His Majesty not only rewarded him with a house, but also sent all the pretty maids in the palace to the prince's mansion."
"That's true. I heard that His Majesty not only rewarded the palace maids, but also his concubines... Hey, who kicked me!"
"..."
In the crowd, the voices that were originally discussing Lu Jianjia suddenly turned into discussions about Li Mu's hostage status.
"Jianjia! What are you doing!?"
Lu Chongyun frowned. He never expected that Lu Jianjia would have such a big reaction.
He immediately jumped up and tried to bring Lu Jianjia down from the roof first.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jianjia swung her sword directly and slashed at Lu Chongyun, shouting angrily:
"Go away!"
Lu Chongyun slightly tilted his body to avoid the sword energy, then quickly retreated several feet.
"Father...I'm not..." Lu Jianjia's face turned pale and she was about to explain.
Then Lu Chongyun winked at her and said:
"Go back with your father first!"
Lu Jianjia gritted her teeth, pondered for a while and said:
"Daughter, daughter, go and return the sword box to the prince."
"Jianjia!" Lu Chongyun was about to speak, but he saw Lu Jianjia's figure had disappeared from the spot.
Just as he was about to catch up, he heard a shrill voice in his ear:
"Prime Minister, His Majesty invites you to return to the palace."
Hearing this, Lu Chongyun frowned and turned his head to look at Eunuch Deng who was following the carriage in the distance.
While hesitating, the voice of Eunuch Deng came to my ears again:
"Prime Minister, please do not delay. News has just come from the palace that more than a dozen important officials are waiting outside the palace to see Your Majesty. I think something big has happened."
Seeing this, Lu Chongyun looked solemnly at the direction where Lu Jianjia left, and with a flash of his figure, he caught up with Emperor Hongwen's carriage.
The crowd exploded.
"Good fellow, this Miss Lu is so fierce that she even dares to fight with the Prime Minister."
"From this attitude, does it mean that you will not marry unless it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Didn't you see the sword just now? Would you dare to take it if it were you?"
"I dare you! When my wife starts fighting, she is no match for..."
"What did you say!"
"..."
Soon, a fat woman who was a head taller than the "courageous" man appeared behind him, grabbed the man by the back of his neck, and left howling like a ghost.
...
About an hour passed.
Only then did Lu Jianjia find the exquisite waterside pavilion based on her memory.
Fortunately it was this place, the exquisite waterside pavilion where she had come countless times when she was young. If it were somewhere else, she might not be able to find the place.
Lu Jianjia tried several times but still couldn't go forward to send someone to pass the message. She frowned slightly, and with a flash of her figure, she jumped directly into the mansion.
However, what surprised her was that the guards in the outer house seemed lax, but as soon as she entered the inner house, she was surrounded by dozens of guards.
It's like... a trap set intentionally.
Thanks to the fact that all the guards guarding the inner house were women, she was prevented from going berserk.
"I, I want to see His Royal Highness Li...Crown Prince. Please let me know."
After the time spent finding the way, Lu Jianjia gradually calmed down. Although her voice was still cold, her tone was much kinder.
"Take it!"
Unexpectedly, the guards didn't listen to her at all.
He sneaked into the mansion with a sword in hand, and his guards were all women.
No matter how good-looking you are, you are still a thief.
Seeing this, Lu Jianjia's brows slowly knitted together. Just as she was hesitating, she heard a slightly doubtful little voice:
"Jianjia?"
Then Ying Yu, wearing a light yellow dress and holding two hammers, appeared in front of her.
"Sister Xiaoyu!" Lu Jianjia shouted in surprise when she saw Ying Yu's appearance clearly.
But Ying Yu shrugged his nose in dissatisfaction and waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat.
After the guards had left, he put the sledgehammer on his shoulder and said with a little dissatisfaction:
"Is it appropriate to call me sister when I look like this?"
"Xiao, Xiaoyu." Lu Jianjia called softly, turned her wrist, put the soft sword at her waist, trotted to Ying Yu and asked,
"You are here, then, then is Ling'er..."
"The third young lady is in Yanshan, how come you..." Ying Yu was speaking, his eyes fell on the wooden box containing Zhishui.
Lu Jianjia seemed to have noticed Ying Yu's gaze, and hurriedly took down the wooden box, holding it in front of her respectfully and said:
"I am here to return this sword box. Please, Xiaoyu, inform him for me. Please, see His Highness."
Ying Yu looked at the wooden box, then at Lu Jianjia, with a strange look on his face. He waved his hand and said:
"The Master is out, how about you...wait?"
"Xiaoyu, you, you want to go out?" Seeing Ying Yu was about to leave, Lu Jianjia hurriedly called out to stop her.
Ying Yu then showed the sadness of a worker and complained:
"My master has taken a fancy to a girl, so I have to kidnap her for him."
"Really? You said you would give the girl two options, but you still can't bear to do so."
Ying Yu muttered softly, with an angry look on her face.
Thinking of Li Mu stealthily taking away the letter "If you're already married", I couldn't help but laugh.
"If you are stingy, then be stingy. Why pretend to be generous?"
However, when Lu Jianjia heard this, her face turned pale.
He quickly dodged and stood in front of Ying Yu, gritted his teeth, and said hesitantly:
"Xiao, Xiaoyu, can you tell me honestly, who did the prince arrest and detain in the mansion, or, or..."
