Chapter 594 Just stay in the Jiang family for a few days
When returning home, Su Lingyue and Li Jing and their group rode in a carriage, while Yunting rode a horse.
Su Lingyue leaned on Caidie's shoulder, half-closed her eyes, and looked drowsy.
But what happened in the Jiang Mansion today made her feel very uneasy.
"Ah Qing, can you tell who those men in black are?"
Having fought with Su Heng's men many times, Li Jing could naturally recognize the familiar moves at a glance.
"Ask your father." Li Jing said coldly. When she glanced at Su Lingyue, her eyes softened a little and she looked away in annoyance.
Su Lingyue: "..."
She actually guessed that this was a possibility, but just wanted to confirm it. She didn't expect it to be true.
Li Jing must be feeling very complicated when facing the daughter of her enemy, who is also half her master. It is really difficult for her.
It’s easy to understand if you know who it is. It should be her father who helped Zheng Zixu.
For a man who deserved to be killed, she once again harmed her innocent uncle's family. If her second cousin and uncle were not rescued, she would probably never be able to face her aunt, eldest cousin and Yan'er again.
She had seen how skilled her father's men were. The Jiang Mansion's guards might be able to handle one or two of them, but if a group of them attacked together like they did tonight, apart from Xiao Yu's guards who had practiced martial arts for many years, there probably wouldn't be many people in the capital who could handle them.
The carriage arrived at the side gate of the palace. After Su Lingyue got off, she said to Caidie Caiyi, "I'm a little hungry. I want to eat some rice dumplings with fermented rice wine and then take a bath."
One of them went to prepare food, and the other went to prepare hot water.
After sending Caidie Caiyi away, Su Lingyue turned around and asked Yunting who was following behind her, "How many of you are there in total?"
Under the dim lantern light, Yun Ting met the clear eyes and answered respectfully, "A few hundred people."
He didn't say the specific number, but Su Lingyue was very satisfied with the number.
"Are they all as good at kung fu as you?"
"No, some are slightly inferior. There are many who are on par with Su Heng's men."
Su Lingyue nodded, "Yeah, I understand."
Yun Ting nodded, "Does the princess have any other questions?"
"No more." Su Lingyue paused, a smile on her face. "Thank you for your prompt decision today and for rushing to the Jiang Mansion so quickly, so as to avoid more serious consequences."
Yun Ting's lips twitched slightly, "It's my duty to do this."
"Okay, are you done talking? I have something to tell you." Li Jing grabbed Su Lingyue's wrist and pulled her away with an impatient look.
Yun Ting looked at the two people leaving, his eyes darkening.
Li Jing pulled Su Lingyue away and didn't say anything until she returned to Furong Pavilion.
Su Lingyue couldn't help but ask, "Aqing, what do you want to tell me?"
Li Jing pushed her into the room and said coldly, "It's dark now, don't leave Caidie Caiyi and run around."
After that, he left without looking back.
Su Lingyue blinked. Is this what Aqing wanted to say?
Although she didn't understand why Aqing suddenly became so considerate, Su Lingyue was still in a good mood to receive her concern.
Although Ah Qing appeared cold towards others, she actually had a gentle and warm heart. She had known this for a long time.
Caidie Caiyi had not returned yet, so Su Lingyue went to the outside of the main house to check and saw that the lights inside were off. She instructed the guards at the door to keep watch until the night before returning to the side room.
Caidie had already brought the hot rice dumplings made with fermented rice wine, and Caiyi had someone bring the bathing water.

After Su Lingyue and his group left, Jiang Siyuan asked the housekeeper to report the case.
The son of the Minister of Revenue was assassinated, and the assassin even pursued him to his home. This disregard for the law and disregard for imperial officials attracted the attention of both Jingzhao Prefecture and the Dali Temple.
We patrolled around and checked, but found no useful clues.
"Master Xiao Jiang, the assassin has nothing on him that can prove his identity. We can only file a case first and then investigate once we have clues."
"Thank you both for your help. My father and I await your good news."
"We will do our best and report the news truthfully."
"Thank you."
After seeing off the Dali Temple's Shaoqing and the Jingzhao Prefecture's case handlers, Jiang Siyuan's worries increased even more.
Guards patrolled back and forth at the feet of the emperor. For such a wealthy family, those assassins could come at any time, and it was unknown whether they would come back in the future and do something even more serious.
Thinking of this, he could only frown even more tightly and place his hopes on Prince Su's Mansion.
He had a feeling that if anyone could fight against those people, it must be Prince Su's Mansion.

As usual, after giving Xiao Yu a massage, Su Lingyue saw that he had fallen asleep with his eyes closed, so she simply lay down beside Xiao Yu, admiring his sleeping face while swinging her feet waiting for Xiao Yu to wake up.
"Say whatever you want to say."
"Ok?"
Su Lingyue was stunned for a moment, and seeing Xiao Yu looking at her with his eyes open, she asked tentatively, "Is the prince awake?"
"Yeah." Xiao Yu looked at her, his lips slightly raised.
It turned out that Xiao Yu could see that she had something to say.
Su Lingyue no longer hesitated. Frowning, she looked at Xiao Yu and said, "The assassination at the Jiang Mansion yesterday was carried out by my father. The guards at the Jiang Mansion were no match for the assassin. My eldest cousin asked if we could borrow a few guards to stay at the Jiang Mansion for a while. Once we find suitable guards, we can send them back."
She looked at Xiao Yu expectantly, but Xiao Yu seemed not to see the expectation in her eyes and asked, "Does Yue'er want to help him?"
Su Lingyue nodded, "I do."
"Then tell Yun Ting to arrange it. You are the husband's wife and the mistress of this palace. You can order them to do anything."
Su Lingyue was stunned and couldn't react for a moment. She didn't expect Xiao Yu to give her such power.
"May I?"
"of course."
The firm and gentle words were like a warm current, wrapping Su Lingyue's whole heart, making her feel warm and at ease, just like Xiao Yu.
Su Lingyue moved her body, hugged Xiao Yu, and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek.
"Your Majesty, you are so kind. I really, really like you."
After the kiss, they kissed each other's cheeks affectionately. Such gentle rubbing made Xiao Yu's heart melt.
"Little thing, you are getting better and better at saying sweet words."
"Your Highness likes to hear it, I will tell you every day!" Su Lingyue hugged him and refused to let go.

Su Lingyue told Yun Ting what Xiao Yu said and ordered, "Pick a few people and send them to Jiang Mansion!"
Yun Ting's eyes darkened as he looked at Su Lingyue and said, "Princess, this assassination may be a test."
"What do you mean?" Su Lingyue looked at Yun Ting in confusion.
"Last time, for Miss Jiang's reputation, I killed a dozen of Su Heng's men. This time, they dared to send people to assassinate the Jiang family. I'm afraid they are suspicious of when the Jiang family had such a master, so they sent assassins again. This time, Jiang Ting didn't come out to fight the enemy immediately. I'm afraid Su Heng has become suspicious. If I want to dispel his thoughts of revenge on the Jiang family, I'm afraid I have to go there in person. As long as I show my face, they won't dare to act rashly."
After hearing Yun Ting's words, Su Lingyue pondered for a moment before asking, "What is your plan?"
Yun Ting said: "I only need to stay in the Jiang family for a few days."
Su Lingyue thought that the palace now had enough guards guarding it, and Yan Qing was also there to protect it personally, so her father would not rashly send anyone to die.
On the contrary, the Jiang family is in a more dangerous situation than the palace, and they really need someone who can deter those assassins.
Yun Ting had already appeared in the Jiang family under the name of Jiang Ting. With him around, his father would probably be a little wary.
"Okay, let's do as you say. Pick a few people to go with you. Expert guards aren't easy to find. Train the guards at the Jiang residence so they can fight back when you're not there. Can you do that?"
Yun Ting nodded respectfully: "Yes! I will do my best to do it."
Su Lingyue didn't see that under his drooping eyes, there was a deep undercurrent.
