The noise outside the window was louder.

Even Shu Yao sensed something was wrong: "What's going on outside?"

It was the sound of swords clashing, mixed with a faint smell of blood, no one was more familiar than Li Mingji.

He said "wait a moment" soothingly, tiptoed, flew up to the eaves of the corridor, and saw shadow guards and soldiers wrestling with each other outside the princess's mansion, densely packed.

Emperor Yong left an army to guard the princess' mansion, plus Shu Yao's own personal guards, the total was only a few dozen.There are thousands of soldiers who are fully armed and carrying weapons surrounding the princess's mansion.

They were surrounded.

Besides the royal family, who else can train such elite soldiers?

The answer is about to come out.

Under Emperor Yong's pressing step by step, someone finally couldn't sit still.

"Li Mingji?"

Seeing that Li Mingji hadn't come down for a long time, Shu Yao couldn't help calling him.Li Mingji jumped down and stood in front of her: "Princess..."

"Princess, princess!"

Pine Needle hurriedly pushed open the door of Haitang Courtyard, with an anxious expression on her face, "Princess, the infantry commander Lu Deruis led troops to surround the palace of the princess, and I want to see you by name!"

Although the purpose was not clearly stated, bringing troops to the Princess's Mansion openly is tantamount to provocation.

Shu Yao's expression turned cold.

Lu Derui, the commander of the Infantry Division, is from the Lu family in Fanyang, one of the five surnames in the capital.

Fan Yang's Lu family is the most low-key of the five surnames.However, the children of the Lu family guarded the northwest and held a lot of military power.

Lu Derui was 24 years old, dressed in military uniform, squinting his eyes and smiling casually.It wasn't until he saw the girl's figure walking towards him that he smiled sincerely, and his greedy eyes fell on the girl's fair and slender neck: "Princess, long time no see."

Three years ago, Lu Derui's mother passed away, and because of Ding You, he did not marry a wife.Now his family is planning a marriage for him and choosing a noble daughter, but Lu Derui knows in his heart that, like those powerful children, he also has evil intentions for His Majesty's favorite jewel.

It's a pity that the little princess has an arrogant temperament, and she didn't even dare to look at the carefully prepared gifts.

However, today is not what it used to be, and now the little princess has fallen into his hands.

Lu Derui was sizing up his prey when he suddenly noticed a cold gaze. He raised his head and saw a young man dressed in black followed by Shu Yao. He obviously didn't look at him, but exuded a dangerous coldness.

I heard that the little princess loves a guard very much recently, and he always takes it with him wherever he goes. Is it this little boy?

Shu Yao remembered Lu Derui.

This person is like a piece of dog-skin plaster. He always stuck to her wherever he went before. After being trained by her a few times, he didn't come close to him again, but his eyes still made people hate him. When he saw her, he looked like a jackal would salivate when he saw raw meat. It's strange. disgusting.

Seeing the tall horse and dark human head behind him, she frowned and said coldly: "Lu Derui, what do you mean?"

He led troops to surround the princess mansion?
Lu Derui saluted gracefully: "The minister is following orders, and please don't leave the mansion for the next few days. Princess, don't worry, as long as you cooperate, the minister will not hurt you."

The army is brought before us, so there is no harm?Shu Yao looked at him coldly: "Who gave you the order? What happened outside? The chief of this county will enter the palace to face the saint!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a "shua", and the soldiers behind Lu Derui all showed their sharp long knives and laid them across in front of the princess mansion.

The housekeeper and servants around him were already trembling with fear, and they were about to kneel down.

Li Mingji took a step back, his wide sleeves covered his wrists, and he was playing with the dagger in his palm.

Shu Yao was also frightened so that her face turned pale, and Li Mingji held her hand, feeling the temperature from his body, and the panic in her heart dissipated a little.

These people didn't dare to touch her yet, and she couldn't lose in terms of momentum.

Lu Derui raised his hand, signaled the soldiers behind him to put away their weapons, and said with a smile: "Look, these soldiers didn't obey the command, which frightened our Princess. However, please rest assured, the Princess, without my instructions, they will not will move."

He spoke respectfully, but Shu Yao didn't answer any of his questions.There is probably only one reason for this situation-Emperor Yong also had an accident.

Today is the Qionglin Banquet, and Emperor Yong is still in Qionglin Garden in the west of the city, with only a few servants with him...

Shu Yao's heart sank: "What are you going to do?"

"Didn't you say that?" Lu Derui smiled, "I am following orders, and I hope the princess will cooperate and endure these few days."

After all, the topic changed, and the threat was obvious, "Otherwise, princess, don't blame the minister for being rude."

The panic-stricken appearance of the little princess is also endearing.He was reluctant to take the life of the little princess, so it was okay to use other methods to torture her.

"Princess, this is a guest," Lu Derui raised his eyebrows, "Don't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"

Shu Yao was not polite: "Get lost!"

……

The princess' mansion was already surrounded, and Lu Derui could not be stopped at all, so Shu Yao simply ignored him and went back to the Haitang courtyard by herself.

Lu Derui just walked into the princess mansion with such a swagger.

Pavilions and corridors, rockery and flowing water, artificially dug lakes, and glazed pavilions are magnificent and gorgeous, and rare and precious potted plants that are hard to find are randomly placed on the side of the road.The princess's mansion was remodeled from Qinyanghou's mansion, and it's not like Lu Derui had been here before.However, compared to Qin Yanghou's Mansion, it can be described as earth-shaking here now, which is enough to show Emperor Yong's love for Shu Yao, even the shadow guards were transferred here.

It's a pity that Emperor Yong still made a mistake.

Except for the guards outside, there are not many people in the princess mansion.However, Lu Derui noticed that even the cleaning boy in front of the door was handsome. Thinking of that little white-faced guard, the little princess's preference is really consistent. No wonder Xie Yanzhou wasted so much thought and didn't warm her up.

Passing the Begonia Courtyard, remembering that this is the residence of the little princess, Lu Derui was about to go in when he suddenly stopped.A Persian cat with mandarin duck eyes stood in front of him, bared its teeth, and its fur exploded.

Different-eyed cats are very rare in the Central Plains. Lu Derui snorted and was about to pick up the nape of its neck and throw it out. A porcelain bottle was thrown from the window.

The accuracy was surprisingly good, the porcelain bottle shattered in Lu Derui's hand, leaving a few bloodstains, he groaned in pain, and the Persian cat ran away quickly.

"Stay away from the yard of the princess."

Shu Yao picked up the cat, gave him a hard look, and closed the courtyard door forcefully.

A shadow of prey flashed across Lu Derui's face.It's been a long time, but the little princess's temper is still as annoying as ever, and she doesn't pretend to be in front of people she doesn't like.

It's a pity that now is not the time to move her.

In the room, after comforting the frightened Persian cat, Shu Yao plunged into Li Mingji's arms, her arrogance had long since disappeared, her eyes were red, like a bullied rabbit, "Tell me, how is uncle doing now?" gone?"
