After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Chapter 259 A little effort

Cui Rongrong's face had returned to its former gentleness, as if the slight disturbance just now had never existed.

However, when he looked at her docile appearance, his heart felt as if pressed by a huge rock, and his breathing became heavy.

The anger that had nowhere to be released could only be swallowed back into the stomach.

He adjusted his tone, trying to make it sound softer: "Don't let your imagination run wild. I will do what I promised you. You just need to wait for me to come back, okay?"

Cui Rongrong's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I am not at ease, so what? Haven't you been sending people to monitor me in secret?"

He knew everything about her late-night visit to the Zhang family and the eldest lady's surprise visit.

She is not stupid, how could she not know all this?

Obviously, he knew her whereabouts very well and must have arranged someone behind the scenes.

Song Yanyi's eyes narrowed slightly. He had expected this moment to come sooner or later, so he simply stopped trying to hide it.

"Just so you know, I have someone guarding you for your safety. If you are in danger, I can protect you immediately."

His words were sincere and unquestionable.

Cui Rongrong sneered and asked, "Is it protection or surveillance?"

Her eyes were full of doubt.

His eyes turned cold, and his words were filled with a chill that could not be refuted: "If you were not so complicated, why would I send someone to guard you? You know your own behavior best."

Cui Rongrong chose to remain silent and was unwilling to get entangled with him anymore.

She understood that his reasons were always so good that even if she argued, the outcome would not change.

Song Yanyi is always the one who doesn't play by the rules.

He took a deep breath, his tone mixed with a bit of helpless compromise: "Wanwan, just this once, listen to me and stop making trouble. When I finish dealing with the current matter, I will naturally give you a satisfactory explanation."

"What's your business?"

she asked calmly.

"Tomorrow is the autumn hunting season. I must accompany the emperor into the enclosure. It will probably take three days to go there and back."

His hands gently kneaded her hair, his eyes revealing reluctance, "There may be changes in the next few days, and the capital may not be peaceful. I have asked Fu Xian to lead people to protect you, okay?"

Cui Rong lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "I know."

He couldn't tell whether this was her true obedience or just a superficial perfunctory response.

Now that everything about her is in his control, how can she break free?

Standing up, he said, "Then I'll go first and come back in a few days to bring you a rabbit, how about that?"

He knew that Xie Xiuzhu liked these little animals, and perhaps Cui Rongrong would like them too.

"it is good."

She responded briefly.

He curled up a smile, picked up the food box, and turned to leave.

Cui Rongrong looked at his back as he gradually walked away, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

The next morning, the streets of the capital were particularly lively because of the large group of officials led by the emperor to go hunting in autumn.

The team was spectacular, stretching for several streets and advancing all the way out of the city. The scene was shocking.

Cui Rong stood in front of the window, looking at the noise outside with an expressionless face.

Su Yue didn't understand what he meant: "Miss, you clearly want to leave with Mr. Li, why don't you let me go with you? I really can't feel at ease without me by your side..."

Cui Rongrong's tone was still calm: "Someone has to take care of the store, and Ajin also needs to be taken care of. I left in a hurry because time was tight, you can come later."

Su Yue felt an unknown worry in her heart: "Girl..."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Cui Rong comforted.

As the royal procession gradually moved away, the streets of the capital returned to tranquility, but also became a little more empty and lonely.

Almost all the prominent figures in the capital followed the emperor to Taihang Mountains for hunting.

When Cui Rong went downstairs, she saw Fu Xian standing in front of the store, no longer hiding.

"Cousin girl."

Fu Xian clasped his fists and saluted respectfully.

Cui Rong nodded slightly: "Thank you for your help."

"It's not hard, it's not hard!"

Fu Xian glanced at her secretly, afraid of angering her.

But when he saw that she was not angry, he felt even more uneasy.

The next day, before dawn, the shop doors were closed and a slight sound broke the tranquility of the early morning.

Fu Xian, who was dozing on the roof, suddenly woke up, turned over to the eaves, and saw a blue-gray carriage galloping out - that was his cousin's carriage!

Fu Xian's face suddenly changed. He immediately turned over and ran into the house, rushing to the third floor, only to find that Cui Rongrong's room was empty.

"Oh no, my cousin has escaped, hurry up and chase her!"

At the command, the secret guards moved quickly and tracked the carriage that disappeared in the morning light.

After the secret guards went away, Cui Rong quietly appeared from the back door, and another carriage that had been waiting for a long time immediately came up.

Li Jingzhao lifted the car curtain and said hurriedly, "Miss Bai, get in the car quickly. They may notice something unusual soon and turn around to chase us!"

Cui Rongrong nodded, lifted her skirt slightly, and stepped into the carriage swiftly.

The driver whipped his horse whip violently, and the carriage sped off like an arrow into the dark night before dawn, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Inside the car, Li Jingzhao breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately you were prepared, otherwise it would be difficult to escape under their surveillance. Don't worry, we will be safe once we leave the city, and they will have no way of knowing where we are going."

Cui Rong suddenly asked: "Can we really leave here and fly away?"

"Of course, I have the pass."

Li Jingzhao answered confidently, his tone full of anticipation for the future journey.

Cui Rongrong's lips blossomed into an elegant smile, as if a spring breeze was blowing on her face, and she said softly: "Mr. Li, you have helped me so selflessly that I really don't know how to express my gratitude."

Mr. Li shook his head, his eyes as gentle as the warm sunshine in early spring, and said lightly: "No, I just saw that you were alone and helpless, and I couldn't bear it, so I wanted to lend a hand. No need to thank me, it's just a small favor."

Cui Rongrong's eyes were clear and firm, and she replied sincerely: "Even so, I still have to express my gratitude to you. I think maybe a small gift can show my gratitude."

After she finished speaking, Cui Rong gently reached her right hand into her wide sleeves. Her movements were light and mysterious, and an imperceptible tension seemed to permeate the air.

Li Jingzhao raised a playful smile, with curiosity flashing in his eyes: "Oh? What kind of precious thing is it? If it is too valuable, I can't afford such a generous gift..."

Before he could finish his words, a sharp chill suddenly approached his neck, and a sharp dagger was silently pressed against his throat. The cold metallic texture made him shiver involuntarily.

"What exactly do you want?"

His expression suddenly changed, and his tone was filled with surprise and vigilance.

Cui Rongrong's eyes became as cold as ice at this moment, and her voice revealed an unquestionable determination.
