After rebirth, the regent princess wanted to rebel every day

"Swim up."

Jiang Wanyue pointed outward.

Xie Jingce looked at the rippling water outside in surprise, then looked around the space he was in. The bookshelves were all empty, and judging by the dust, the things might have just been moved in.

Xie Jingce looked at Jiang Wanyue meaningfully.

Jiang Wanyue met his gaze without changing her expression, but in her mind she was thinking: Why is he acting like he's guarding against a thief? She was taking her own things and she wasn't causing any trouble for him.

Seeing that Jiang Wanyue had no intention of explaining, Xie Jingce did not ask any more questions.

"Can you walk with your injuries? Aren't you afraid of collapsing halfway?" Jiang Wanyue asked worriedly.

If it really collapsed halfway, wouldn't her rescue be in vain?

"It's OK." Xie Jingce could already feel that his right arm was not as painful as before. "Let's go up first. It's time to let the people above worry about us."

Jiang Wanyue pursed her lips. If that person hadn't come for Xie Jingce, they wouldn't have been in danger just enjoying the scenery.

Jiang Wanyue did not respond. She went out of the cave with Xie Jingce and began to swim towards the lake.

On the shore, Li Yuan, the steward of the palace, was directing his subordinates to look for Xie Jingce. Chunhe and Bujing were pacing back and forth anxiously on the shore. Yan Si had been underwater for a quarter of an hour.

"Wow!"

Xie Jingce and Jiang Wanyue broke out of the water, revealing their heads.

Jiang Wanyue saw Chunhe and the other man on the shore, who looked anxious, and waved while shouting, "Chunhe! Don't be alarmed!"

When the people on the shore heard the sound, they all looked towards the lake. When Chunhe and the other man saw Jiang Wanyue, they felt relieved and were so surprised that they began to frantically rescue Jiang Wanyue.

The old housekeeper Li Yuan also cried with joy when he saw Xie Jingce.

After landing, their servants brought dry clothes for them to put on. Li Yuan said, "Since the prince has been found, I will go and call them to land."

Li Yuan pretended to turn around and retreat.

"Wait," Xie Jingce thought for a moment and called Li Yuan, "What happened today is definitely not an accident. Don't alert the enemy. I will return home with Miss Jiang in a low profile, and you guys continue to look."

Li Yuan looked to be in his fifties. He immediately understood what Xie Jingce meant and said, "I will go down and make arrangements right away."

Jiang Wanyue also felt that this matter was strange, so she immediately told Chunhe and Bujing, "You two should stay here first, just like you didn't find me and the prince just now."

Chunhe and Bujing were worried, but they also smelled something unusual and nodded heavily.

A quarter of an hour later, a low-key carriage went down the other side of the mountain, then entered the city and stopped at the back door of the Regent's Palace.

royal palace.

"You said, Xie Jingce really drowned in the lake?" Xie Jinghong couldn't hide the ecstasy on his face. His hands holding the handle of the chair trembled constantly as he confirmed again and again.

Standing below was a man in a black robe. His entire body was wrapped in black, so his appearance and expression could not be seen clearly, but it was clear that he had a long scar on the base of his left hand. He answered respectfully, "Yes."

"I have been watching around the lake for nearly two hours, but have not seen him come ashore."

Xie Jinghong laughed loudly and said with a smile on his face, "Good! Well done! Reward!"

Xie Jingce finally died. Then no one would threaten his throne anymore.

Xie Jinghong wants to snatch all the resources in Xie Jingce's hands, as well as the Heavenly Wolf Guards trained for him by his father!

When Xie Jinghong thought of this, he couldn't stop feeling happy.

"Xie Jingce, this day will come for you too." Xie Jinghong muttered through gritted teeth.

"What is my brother saying about me?"

Xie Jingce walked into the hall with his hands behind his back, looking at Xie Jinghong sitting on the dragon throne with a half-smile, but his eyes were cold.

The familiar voice exploded in Xie Jinghong's mind like a muffled thunder, and he stood there in a daze.

what happened?

Didn’t Xie Jingce drown in the lake?

Xie Jinghong mechanically turned his neck and looked at the figure walking towards the entrance of the hall, and the joy just now froze on his face.

The man in black robe turned around and saw Xie Jingce. He was also surprised, and his expression under the black robe changed slightly.

He was the one who shot the man with his own hands and saw him drown in the lake with his own eyes. Nearly two hours had passed, so he should have been dead. How could he appear here?

Xie Jingce still stood there quietly, admiring Xie Jinghong's changing expressions.

There are many people in the court who want to kill him, but they are afraid of his strength and dare not act rashly. Only Xie Jinghong will always keep an eye on his whereabouts, and once there is a chance, they will take the opportunity to kill him.

Xie Jingce had been traveling in a low-key manner today and had not brought many people with him. But for Xie Jinghong, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity to get rid of him.

"Why does the emperor look so unhappy? Is he feeling unwell?" Xie Jingce looked worried. "If he is feeling unwell, the emperor must summon the imperial physician immediately. The emperor's health is the most important!"

Xie Jinghong's face turned black, he clenched his fists, and veins bulged on the back of his hands. But he couldn't do anything to Xie Jingce, but he was very unwilling to accept this.

At this moment, he really wanted to go forward and kill Xie Jingce himself.

Soon, Xie Jinghong forced a smile and said, "I am in good health, thank you for your concern, Regent." He deliberately emphasized the word "Regent".

The atmosphere was frozen for a moment. Xie Jinghong couldn't see through Xie Jingce, but Xie Jingce knew what Xie Jinghong was thinking. Xie Jinghong didn't say anything, and Xie Jingce would never speak either.

The man in black robe stood aside and suddenly felt a little sweaty.

Not long after Xie Jingce entered the palace, Yan Si, Chunhe and Bu Jing also returned.

When Jiang Wanyue saw the three people, she also understood what Xie Jingce had said to Li Yuan. He wanted to give Xie Jinghong a "surprise" before Xie Jinghong got the news.

However, since Yan Si and the two maids had returned, there was no need for her to stay in the palace. She immediately took the three of them and got in the carriage they came in and went back to the Earl's Mansion.

"Young lady, you scared us to death today. You don't know that when the news reached the palace that the prince and the young lady fell into the lake, the three of us were afraid that something might happen to you." Chunhe still felt a lingering fear when she recalled what had just happened.

Yan Si sat aside expressionlessly without saying a word.

Bu Jing also agreed, "Yes, yes, Miss, you should take Yan Si with you next time you go out. He is very powerful. Today, when he rushed over with the guards from the palace, he single-handedly pulled out a lot of archers in the dark!" Her eyes were full of admiration for Yan Si.

Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, the guards around the prince are not vegetarians. Besides, I... I am the prince's fiancée, and the prince will protect me."

Jiang Wanyue quickly shut up. She almost told others that she knew martial arts. How could Miss Jiang know martial arts? Telling it out would definitely arouse suspicion.

Fortunately, she is witty.

Chunhe and the other two looked at Jiang Wanyue strangely. They knew that the current young lady was the young lady of the Ye family, but since the young lady was unwilling to reveal it, they simply gave up.

The carriage had been moving for a while when it suddenly jolted and the four people fell to the ground, and it was difficult for them to steady themselves.

"Where did this beggar come from? Don't you want to live?" The driver's sharp curse came from outside.
