Chapter 493: We Can Live Together, Just The Two Of Us

The person driving the carriage was Chu Jiu.

After pa.s.sing through the city gates, she followed Madam Lins route, only to find that they were deviating further and further from the main road.

Realizing this, Chu Jiu suddenly became alert.

The day after tomorrow was Misss wedding day, and absolutely no incidents can be allowed to happen at this time.

Although she could see how kindly Madam Lin treated Miss, nothing must happen at this juncture.

With that in mind, she pulled on the reins decisively, wanting to turn back. After returning to the city, she would apologize to Lu Liangwei and plead for forgiveness.

However, at this moment, she felt her head go heavy, and her vision started to spin.

She shook her head, inwardly alarmed. She was about to pull out her dagger and wake herself up with a cut when she blacked out completely, falling weakly onto the carriage shaft.

Just then, a man in black swooped in and sat on the drivers seat, taking over her work and flinging Chu Jiu off the carriage in one motion.

However, just as the man in black was about to drive off, a group of covert guards in form-fitting clothes appeared and surrounded the carriage.

The man in black sneered. He did not know that the Emperor had also sent covert guards to protect Miss Wei aside from the female guard, whom he had just thrown off the carriage.

However, even if he had covert guards stationed, they had also come prepared.

He suddenly put his thumb and forefinger on his lips and blew hard, letting out a shrill whistle.

In an instant, a group of people clad in black and armed with sabers appeared behind the covert guards, murderous intent radiating off them.

The two parties immediately launched themselves into combat.

Ignoring them, the man in black found an opening and drove steadily forward as if nothing had happened.

This time, the House of Swallow Snow had sent out its most elite a.s.sa.s.sins. Although the covert guards were well-trained, it would not be easy for them to defeat the Houses elites in such a short time.

The man in black did not notice a rocket that shot into the air behind him and quickly exploded into a shower of sparks.

The man in black continued to steer the carriage forward.

Not long after, the carriage curtains were lifted, and Madam Lin said to the man in black, Return to the Yan Kingdom, quickly.

Alright, the man in black responded and immediately sped up, driving the carriage rapidly in the direction of the Yan Kingdom.

Madam Lin sat back inside the carriage and gazed at the girl lying on the cus.h.i.+oned seat, her eyes filled with endearment.

She picked up the fox-fur robe beside her and draped it over her body gently.

The girl was very vigilant, and so the coma-inducing medicine was not effective on her. Before Lu Liangwei could heighten her guard from sensing the medicine, Madam Lin had swiftly struck her coma pressure point.

She reached out and patted her back gently, her voice soft as she said, My girl, Im doing this for your own good. The palace isnt a good place. Youre so pure and kind, I dont want you to get bullied She paused, her eyes as cold as ice. All men are trash. Ill take you away, and we can live together, just the two of us.

Lu Liangwei lay there quietly, unknowing of everything that had happened outside.

The Grand Duke Mansion.

Zhu Yu waited until dusk, but she quickly got anxious when there was still no sign of her mistress.

Miss had better not have gotten into any accidents.

Not daring to delay a second longer, she hurriedly took a few servants with her and searched along the way to Cathay Medicinal Shop.

However, when they reached Cathay Medicinal Shop, they still did not see Lu Liangwei. They heard from the old beggar that Madam Lin had prepared a wedding gift for Miss, and Miss had followed her to the capital suburbs to fetch it.

Zhu Yus heart went cold when she heard this. Looking at the darkness of the night outside, she felt a looming sense of dread.

Recently, Miss and Madam Lin had gotten very close. Madam Lin was really nice to Miss, and Miss also liked Madam Lin very much and respected her as her elder.
