Chapter 544: Another Assassination
"I remember when I lived in Changning Village, even though I was a prince, there were many things I had never seen before, whether it was crops or food. At that time, I thought that this rural place was a bit like a paradise on earth."
Cheng An also recalled what happened in Changning Village. He smiled and said, "I was lucky enough to be with you at that time, and it was also an eye-opener.
The villagers of Changning Village were simple and kind. It was the first time for me to eat such a watermelon. There were also cucumbers. It was really strange that there were green melons called cucumbers in the world. And the beans, one crop after another, I had never seen such crops before. "
The emperor nodded slightly, with nostalgia in his eyes.
When Cheng An talked about what happened at that time, he had a lot to say: "Your Majesty was not arrogant at the time, and he enjoyed himself with the people. It was a very harmonious scene."
If he had not been assassinated there, Li Hongting really would not want to leave there. If he had not been assassinated, he would definitely have gained something there.
But it is the same now. Lu Shian is willing to develop the north of the city wholeheartedly, and it is worth it for him to be so attentive to Lu Shian.
"Although the north of the city is a bit desolate now, I believe it will become a fertile land under her governance." The emperor looked into the distance with a firm gaze.
Cheng An echoed, "The Concubine Xian is very capable and will definitely not disappoint His Majesty. I heard that she plans to first introduce some cold-resistant and drought-resistant crop seeds for trial planting, and then gradually improve the soil."
In the restaurant, Lu Shian fell asleep on the bed as soon as he entered the room.
Looking at the sleeping Lu Shian, Que'er said to Xi'er, "You stay here and watch over the master. I'll go get some hot water for the master."
Xier nodded: "Well, tell the bearded man to go to bed early. We have to go back to the palace early tomorrow morning."
Que'er replied, "I understand. I will return to the palace early tomorrow morning."
When Lu Shian woke up again, he was awakened by the turbulence.
The carriage seemed to be flying, and she tried to reach out to hold it, but found that her hands and feet were tied.
"Ugh."
She wanted to call for help, but found that her mouth was also blocked.
She was almost mad with anger. Who on earth was that bastard? Who had tied her up like this?
After a horse neighed, the speeding carriage stopped suddenly, and the inertia caused Lu Shian's head to hit the pillar hard.
She groaned in pain and someone stopped the carriage outside.
Then came the sound of fighting.
It looked like someone had come to rescue her.
She wanted to help Gu Yong climb out of the carriage, but at that moment, the curtain of the carriage was opened. Before she could react, the person who opened the curtain was stabbed from behind, and blood spurted out, just on Lu Shian's face. Facing the man's unwilling gaze and the warm blood sprayed on his face, Lu Shian felt the fear of death for the first time.
She wanted to vomit, but her mouth was stuffed and she couldn't.
Then someone dragged the body out.
Then the carriage started galloping again.
"woo woo woo woo……"
Lu Shian wanted to say, let me go, I'm almost dying of pain, but her mouth was stuffed and she couldn't say anything.
When Shen Cuo saw the enemy driving away in a carriage, he didn't bother to fight with others and used his lightness skills to chase after them.
He was staying outside the restaurant today. Just after midnight, a carriage came out from the backyard of the restaurant. He was puzzled as to why anyone would go out at this time, considering that there was still a long time before the curfew was lifted.
He realized something and ran to Lu Shian's room to check. Sure enough, there were only two unconscious palace maids, but no sign of Lu Shian.
Without saying a word, he called his men and chased after him.
The chase lasted for dozens of miles.
Then the two sides started fighting.
The other party was obviously well prepared and knew their intentions very well, but Shen Cuo and others had no idea who these people were.
No matter who it is, as long as they want to hurt Lu Shian, he will not let them go.
Shen Cuo was very good at martial arts, and he quickly caught up with the carriage. However, as soon as he landed on the carriage, the person on the carriage stabbed him with a sword. In order to avoid it, Shen Cuo was forced to leave the carriage.
This time he did not catch up, but stopped on the road and watched the carriage go away.
Only when the carriage was out of sight did he display his lightness skills and fly onto the tree next to him. He tapped his toes and jumped lightly between the trees.
Lu Shian was dizzy from the shaking of the carriage. Just when she thought she was going to be shaken to death, the carriage stopped.
When Lu Shian saw the carriage stopped, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. At this time, she heard a low conversation outside the carriage, and she tried to prick up her ears to listen.
"Brother, what should we do with this woman? The higher-ups only said to bring her here, but they didn't say what to do with her afterwards."
"Keep it closed for now and wait for news." Then, the car door was roughly opened, and a big man with a face full of flesh carried Lu Shian into a dilapidated house.
Lu Shian was thrown into a corner, looking around nervously. It was dark and damp here, with a foul smell.
Who are these people and why did they kidnap her?
Is he from the Duke’s Mansion?
This shouldn't be the case. The son of Duke Liu is stationed at the border. Even if he hates me to death, he shouldn't tie her up like this.
If it’s not someone from the Duke’s Mansion, then who could it be?
Lu Shian racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. She was now the virtuous concubine. Looking at the Great Yuan Kingdom, her status was above tens of millions of people. How could someone risk exterminating her entire clan to kidnap her?
If they are not from the Dayuan Kingdom, could they be from the Wu Kingdom?
Lu Shian immediately shook his head to deny the idea.
It's impossible. After such a long time, Jing Moyuan can't still be thinking about me.
"Master Hai."
"Master Hai."
Lord Hai?
Obviously, a person of unknown identity had come, and Lu Shian tried hard to crawl towards the door.
Before she could crawl over, the door was opened from the outside.
Lu Shian was crawling on the ground. A man walked slowly towards her. She looked up at the pair of shoes in front of her.
By the time he saw the man's face clearly, Lu Shian was shocked beyond words.
Ye Hai was very satisfied with Lu Shian's expression.
He looked down at Lu Shian and said sarcastically, "I think I should be the first person to look at the virtuous concubine like this."
Lu Shian was so angry that she was about to die. She made a "wuwu" sound.
Ye Hai squatted down, pinched Lu Shian's chin, and sneered: "You didn't expect it, Empress Xianfei. Even if you are now Empress Xianfei, you still fall into my hands."
Lu Shian glared at him and made inarticulate sounds to express his anger.
Ye Hai continued, "You don't think that you don't have to pay for your life just because you're a queen."
Ye Hai reached out and removed the rag that was blocking Lu Shian's mouth. Lu Shian immediately gasped for breath. Her mouth was filled with the rag and her cheeks were sore and swollen.
"Ye Hai, do you know what you are doing?"
