Chapter 122 Return
Chapter 122 Return
"Husband... that's terrible!"
Lin Yuan's whole body was shaking, his lips were trembling, and his voice was trembling.
She nestled in Li Hengan's arms, closed her eyes, and kept repeating a few words as if she was possessed.
"assassin!"
"Who would attack the Taiwei Mansion?"
……
Li Hengan held her in his arms, stroked her head, and kept comforting her: "Don't be afraid! I'm here! Don't be afraid! We're almost at the Taiwei Mansion!"
At the same time, shout out loudly: "Faster!"
"drive!"
Uncle Li roared and raised the whip again.
The horses were running like crazy.
The carriage was shaking violently, and Lin Yuan was so scared that she hugged Li Hengan tightly.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Li Chu called out to the carriage, "Master, we are only 20 miles away from the imperial capital."
"Are there any assassins chasing us?"
Li Chu looked around and saw that the grass and trees were calm and there was nothing unusual, so he said, "Looking at the current situation, it is relatively safe for now."
Li Hengan thought for a moment and ordered, "Don't slow down, hurry back to the Taiwei Mansion."
"Yes!" Li Chu responded.
The tension was finally relieved. Li Hengan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lin Yuan, "We are almost at the Taiwei Mansion. Don't be afraid!"
Lin Yuan held him tightly, not letting go, and nodded continuously.
A shallow pothole appeared on the road and the carriage was going too fast, so it bounced up.
Li Hengan held Lin Yuan with one hand and supported the seat with the other.
A sharp pain spread through the palm of my hand.
He frowned, raised his hand and saw a walnut shell embedded in the palm of his hand.
Li Hengan raised his head suddenly and looked around.
There were only him and Lin Yuan in the carriage!
A wave of fear came over him and Li Hengan's heart beat faster.
Lin Yuan noticed it, looked up at him, and asked again: "Husband, what's wrong with you?"
"parking!"
Li Hengan pushed Lin Yuan away, jumped out of the car and walked back.
He opened the doors one by one and checked, and finally came to the carriage where Nanny Li was sitting.
The car stopped suddenly, and Li Ma Ma found it unusual, so she opened the door and asked anxiously, "Sir, how is the young lady?"
Li Hengan remained calm and said, "We are almost at the Taiwei Mansion. Check the carriage."
After that, he turned around and left.
He waved to Li Chu, and Li Chu came over. He immediately ordered: "You sit next to Li Bo and take the convoy back to the mansion first. I will ride back to find Ming Lu..."
"what?"
Li Chu was so shocked that he even interrupted Li Hengan.
Li Hengan seemed calm and said, "Don't make it public. When we get to the Grand Marshal's Mansion, drive the main car directly to the back door of Chengyun Courtyard. Without telling Li Ma and the others, tell them that my wife has gone to pay respects to her father and mother. Report the truth to the Grand Marshal and send someone to support us."
"Master, it's too dangerous. You can't go back alone!"
"Almost all the guards you brought with you are dead. You must escort them back to the palace safely."
After saying that, he mounted Li Chu's horse and rode away in a cloud of dust.
When Nanny Li heard the hurried sound of horse hooves heading backwards, she felt even more uneasy.
She leaned her head out to look, but could no longer find any shadow.
Changle asked: "Madame Li, who's riding a horse?"
Nanny Li did not answer and looked forward again.
At this time, the convoy began to move forward, but there was no sign of Li Chu riding a horse.
Qian Yue also looked over and said in surprise, "Master Li Chu is missing."
Matron Li was restless, muttering to herself, "Why is he running backwards?"
Changle speculated, "Did the uncle forget something at Qingyuan Temple?"
"Who is so brave? How dare you assassinate someone from the Grand Marshal's Mansion?"
Qian Yue still had lingering fears when he recalled how he had just broken through the encirclement, and he kept patting his chest.
Nanny Li was always very nervous. She said, "I have to get off the car and go see the young lady!"
Changle grabbed her clothes and shouted, "Madame Li, the carriage is going so fast, do you want to die?"
Qian Yue also advised her: "Madame Li, don't worry about it, the young lady must be in the main car!"
Nanny Li was in a dilemma and had no choice but to sit in the car.
Now, Li Chu is not too worried!
"Li Chu, where is the eldest son?"
"Hey! Uncle Li, drive carefully!"
"Li Chu, where is the eldest master?"
……
Just now, Li Hengan was holding me, so I felt more stable.
Now, Lin Yuan was sitting in the carriage with his arms and legs spread out, shouting and screaming.
After a while, Li Chu saw the gate of the imperial capital from afar.
"The eldest master has ordered that we slow down when entering the city. No one is allowed to get off the car or make a sound when entering the mansion. Violators will be punished by the family law!"
The convoy slowly drove into the gate of the imperial capital.
Lin Yuan was restless again. She lifted the curtain and asked, "Li Chu, where is the eldest master?"
"The eldest master has important matters to attend to. Miss Lin, just follow his instructions and don't make any unnecessary troubles."
"He suddenly disappeared, and I asked about it. Do you think I am making things complicated?"
Lin Yuan got so angry that he pulled the curtain hard and it fell down.
Lin Yuan grabbed the curtain and threw it towards the door.
After arriving at the Taiwei Mansion, the main car drove straight to the back door of Chengyun Courtyard.
Halfway through the journey, Li Chu asked Lin Yuan to get off the car.
Lin Yuan was sulking and sat in the carriage without moving.
Li Chu was extremely anxious when he thought of Li Hengan taking the risk alone. He said sternly, "Mrs. Lin, this is the main car. You need to think clearly about your identity. Do you want to drive to Chengyun Courtyard and ask the Grand Commandant to invite you out?"
When Lin Yuan heard this, cold sweat broke out on his back.
When she got off the car, she had no one to support her and she staggered and almost fell.
"The eldest master has ordered that when we arrive at the Grand Marshal's Mansion, Miss Lin must return to Zhuyu Pavilion immediately. No one is allowed to spread the word and no one is allowed to delay!"
Just then, two maids passed by and Li Chu asked them to send Lin Yuan back.
