Chapter 685: Die, Dad and Dad,
Although the nanny was afraid of such an inhumane method, she still said flatteringly: "You can try it. Li is doomed anyway."
"Okay, let's try it." The Princess Royal gave an order.
Li was dragged away.
Not long after, it was put into a jar and carried in front of the Princess Taichang.
The wine jar contained Li's body, with her head sticking out, which looked extremely weird.
The Princess Royal couldn't help laughing.
"Li, this is what happens when you poison me!"
The Princess Royal raised her hand and looked at the wound that had just appeared on her other hand. The wound was as big as a fingernail, but it had already begun to fester.
There was also an erosion on her thigh, and possibly on her back as well.
She could feel the pain, but she couldn't see it.
She was very terrified, afraid that the poison could not be cured and that she would die of festering all over her body!
Before dawn, the princess was awakened by a nightmare.
"Come on, pack your bags and leave immediately!"
"Yes." No one dared to disobey her.
When Ji Chuhe heard the news that they were about to set off, he immediately got up and put on his clothes.
"Did anything happen to the Princess Dowager?" Ji Chuhe asked Mianzhu.
"I haven't heard of anything going on. I guess the princess is just crazy. She really won't let us have a rest. We've only rested for less than two hours and it's not even dawn yet."
"No need to style your hair, just tie it into a bun." Ji Chuhe was too lazy to bother.
"Yes." Mianzhu immediately put away the jewelry.
Chang Yi was woken up and sat on the edge of the bed with an expressionless face.
He was already feeling confused, as if he had just fallen asleep when he was woken up. Anyone would be affected by this.
"You're going to set off at this hour before dawn! You're really crazy!" He couldn't help but curse.
"General, let me help you change your clothes. If you delay, the Princess will go crazy again." The servant who served him personally reminded him timidly.
"Am I crazy too?" Chang Yi suddenly asked.
"General, what are you talking about?"
"Otherwise, why would I fall in love with a lunatic! And I would have to marry her!" After saying this, Chang Yi walked out without even putting on his coat.
The Princess Royal had already packed everything and got on the carriage.
Chang Yi stopped a maidservant beside the Grand Princess and asked, "Have you seen Li?"
"Li and the Princess Royal got on the carriage together." The maid replied and hurried towards the direction of the carriage.
Ji Chuhe also packed up and came to the Princess Grand Princess's carriage.
"Princess Taichang, I am not feeling well today and cannot accompany you. I hope you will allow me to ride in your own carriage."
"Okay." The voice of the Princess Royal came from the carriage.
"Thank you, Princess Grand Princess." Ji Chuhe turned and walked to the back.
Xiao Yan'an helped her into the carriage.
Mianzhu quickly made the mattress in the carriage so that his wife could catch up on some sleep once they set off.
The reason why Ji Chuhe took his own carriage was that he really didn't want to see Li's current fate.
Chang Yi saw that Ji Chuhe and Prince Huaiyang were ready, so he quickly put on his clothes. This time, his people led the team in the front.
Perhaps because he was holding his anger and had no place to vent, Chang Yi led the team very fast. The horses in the carriage all started to run. The carriage was very unstable and bumpy all the way.
The Princess Dowager's carriage was bigger, so it was better. Ji Chuhe's carriage made her head hurt, not to mention catching up on some sleep.
"This group of people are starting to go crazy, right?" She couldn't help but curse, then lifted the car curtain and looked outside.
"Why hasn't the assassin come yet?"
Mianzhu: ...
A faint human figure could be seen swaying on the mountain about ten miles ahead.
There is a road between the two mountains. The carriage has to travel more than ten miles on this canyon-like road before it can reach the wide official road.
If you don't go here, you'll have to take a detour of at least dozens of miles.
Some caravans would rather take a detour than go through here, because there are often bandits ambushing here to rob passing caravans.
Chang Yi is not afraid.
He brought five hundred personal guards, plus the Prince of Huaiyang's men and the Princess Taichang's guards, a total of three thousand people.
Which bandit is so desperate that he dares to rob them on the road?
Chang Yi led the way and walked into this not-so-wide road.
The mountains on both sides are so high that as soon as you walk in, the sunlight is blocked and there is a gloomy feeling.
Suddenly, some rubble fell from the mountains on both sides.
Chang Yi immediately realized something was wrong and raised his hand to stop the convoy.
He looked toward the mountains on either side.
"General, there are people on the mountain!" A subordinate also noticed something unusual.
"Where did you come from, you bandits? Don't you want to live? Do you know who is going to die? They are the current princess, the prince of Huaiyang, the wife of the crown prince, and General Chang of Yancheng! Those who don't want to die, disperse immediately!"
Suddenly, a big rock rolled down from the mountain, and then two, three, four...
These huge rocks whizzed down accompanied by dust and smoke.
Some rushed towards the convoy, some hit them from behind, and some hit them from in front.
In an instant, the convoy's retreat was cut off. Huge rubble blocked the entire road. Not to mention horses and carriages, even people had difficulty escaping.
"Protect the Princess!" Chang Yi shouted.
Rocks kept rolling down the mountain, hitting some horses and people and killing them on the spot.
The scene was chaotic.
Xiao Yan'an jumped onto the carriage and held Ji Chuhe's hand.
"Madam, follow me on the horse."
Ji Chuhe held Xiao Yan'an's hand. As soon as she got out of the carriage, she felt her waist tighten. Xiao Yan'an directly carried her onto the horse's back, and then Xiao Yan'an also sat on the horse's back.
Rong Song also pulled Mianzhu onto the horse, and the group of people protected Xiao Yanan and Ji Chuhe firmly.
Huaiyang Wang glanced in the direction of Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an, then turned around and ordered the bows and arrows to be prepared.
Chang Yi's men also headed towards the mountain.
Prince Huaiyang's men provided cover, but the enemies on the mountain were too high, so Chang Yi couldn't rush up in a short while and was easily injured by the enemy's hidden arrows.
However, they had no other choice but to rush up the mountain to have a chance of winning.
Otherwise, they will all become living targets for these people.
There was a big rock halfway up the mountain. Behind the rock, there was a man hiding. It was the Deputy General Cheng who had escaped before. In his hand, he was holding a new crossbow with some green stuff smeared on the arrow.
Each of his arrows was smeared with poison. Even if an arrow did not hit the target, the poison on the arrow could still kill the person.
His crossbow was aiming in the direction of Ji Chuhe.
"Xiao Yan'an, use the carriage as cover! Don't expose yourself to the enemy's sight." Prince Huaiyang reminded.
"Yes, father!" Xiao Yan'an responded immediately.
"Swoosh!" A sharp arrow flew through the air.
