Her guards

Chapter 210 Don’t be angry

"What? Jiang Meng is an assassin!"

"Sister, no, I just sneaked in to play—"

She was carrying weapons—

"That's just a slingshot, the slingshot I play with—"

The school was noisy. Princess Heisei walked out and felt a buzzing in her ears.

Just as the class was interrupted, Yang Luo arrived with his guards, saying he wanted to capture the assassin's accomplices.

The assassin was a girl under ten years old, and her accomplice was Jiang Rui, the princess's companion.

……

.......
Jiang Meng was still in pain from the fall when the maid shouted again, "Catch the assassin!"

A dozen or so imperial guards, whose whereabouts were unknown, jumped out and pinned Jiang Meng down.

Jiang Meng was shocked, scared, and angry, and called out her name.

“My sister is a princess’s study companion, Jiang Rui,” she threatened.

But as soon as she finished speaking, the maid sneered, "Fine, you've given up your accomplices, arrest them all!"

Jiang Meng was dragged to the place where the princess was studying, dumbfounded, and watched as Miss Yang directed the guards to rush in and bring her sister out as well—

My sister was completely terrified.

"Princess, Princess, she's wronged me—" Jiang Meng cried out as Princess Heisei came out, "Help—"

The maid standing nearby also shouted, "What injustice? She suddenly appeared; she had malicious intentions—"

Miss Yang also pressed her hand to her chest, her expression terrified: "Princess, be careful, the assassin is right next to the princesses."

Princess Heisei took a deep breath: "Yang Luo, stop joking. Miss Jiang was chosen by my father as my study companion. To say she's an assassin is to question His Majesty."

Her gaze swept over Yang Luo, then landed on Jiang Rui, who had her head down.

"Whatever grudges you two have, settle them yourselves. Don't use the excuse of being assassins."

The two women had a feud? The girls' eyes flickered; clearly, they were aware of the rumors surrounding Zhu Yunxiao and Miss Yang.
So, is Miss Yang deliberately bullying Miss Jiang because of love turned to hate?
Mo Zheng seemed not to understand or see Princess Heisei's words or the reactions of the others around her. She shook her head at Princess Heisei and said, "Princess, even if His Majesty chose it for you, there are bound to be oversights."

She looked at Princess Heisei and spoke earnestly.

"After all, the palace maid that your mother personally selected for you attacked you."

Princess Heisei's expression froze.

The girls who had been gossiping about the students also fell silent.

Standing behind, Yang Hui shouted, "That's right, it was my cousin who saved you that time."

As she spoke, she squeezed out and ran to Yang Luo's side, looking at Princess Heisei.

"Princess, you have poor judgment in people. You should listen to my cousin."

"This Jiang Rui might really be an assassin!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the girls who were watching stirred up a commotion.

Princess Wuyang suddenly lifted her foot and walked towards Yang Luo's side.

"Yang Luo, if there are assassins, you must protect me," Princess Wu Yang said. "My mother lost her life because of you."

Miss Yang smiled at her: "Don't worry, Princess."

Princess Nangong paused for a moment, looked at Princess Heicheng, then at Yang Luo, and raised her hand to greet her.

"Wu Yang, Miss Yang, you should come here," she called out. "Get away from Jiang Rui quickly—"

Seeing the reactions of the two princesses, some of the companions who were originally standing next to Jiang Rui subconsciously moved their feet.

After all, the assassins were ruthless infiltrating the palace and even killed a concubine...

Princess Heisei watched this scene, feeling both angry and amused. How could they believe such absurd words from Miss Yang?

Should we believe Miss Yang? Or should we believe her rumored identity...?

Princess Heisei's face darkened: "Everyone knows of Father Jiang's merits. How could his daughter be an assassin, especially since it was just a slingshot toy..."

Before she could finish speaking, Miss Yang suddenly reached out and took the slingshot from the guard, then picked up the small stone that had been confiscated at the same time, raised her hand, and pulled back the slingshot towards Princess Heisei—

Her actions were too sudden.

No one reacted.

Princess Heisei froze instantly.

She seemed to see a pebble flying towards her.

She heard a sharp whooshing sound.

The next moment, the wind brushed past my shoulder.

Bang! A crisp cracking sound came from behind.

All eyes turned to her as Princess Heisei slowly turned around and saw that the vase on the flower stand by the door behind her was broken.

Miss Yang's voice rang out again.

"Princess, toys can hurt people too."

“Even someone as delicate as me can break a piece of porcelain, while Miss Jiang comes from a family of military generals. Her father is brave, skilled in battle, and highly proficient in martial arts. His daughter, even if she is young, should not be underestimated.”

The hall was quiet, and the girls accompanying the students instinctively pressed their faces.

That's terrifying. If you were hit by a pebble, even if it didn't penetrate your face, it would definitely leave a huge scar...

Jiang Meng fell silent, staring blankly at the shattered vase.

Jiang Rui, who had been keeping her head down, also looked up, her expression lost in thought. It wasn't because she was frightened, but because Miss Yang had mentioned her father...

He praised his father.

Initially, when Miss Yang's maid first met her, she also praised her father.

They, mistress and servant...

Miss Yang's voice came again.

"I roughly know why this Miss Jiang came to hit me."

"They believed the rumors and attacked me without asking any questions."

“Miss Jiang, even if you are not an assassin by nature, your actions are exactly what an assassin would do.”

"Therefore, it's not wrong of me to say you're an assassin."

Upon hearing that sentence, they roughly understood why Miss Jiang had come to hit them... The companion girls in the hall had different expressions, so who was bullying whom?

Jiang Rui's expression shifted for a moment, then she suddenly raised her hand and struck Jiang Meng.

A crisp slapping sound rang out.

Jiang Meng, who had been in a daze, was caught off guard and screamed, covering her face as she looked at her sister in disbelief.

"Jiang Meng, how could you do such a despicable thing?" Jiang Rui said, emphasizing each word, "You've completely disgraced Father!"

Jiang Meng's face was red and swollen, and she burst into tears.

……

Miss Yang did not actually take the Jiang sisters away.

Seeing that Jiang Rui had slapped her sister, she didn't say anything more, turned around and left with her people.

The crying in the schoolroom stopped not long afterward.

It must be Jiang Rui who took Jiang Meng away.

As for Princess Heisei, Miss Yang and her servants did not care.

"Her sister, whom she had always protected, slapped her in public and scolded her for disgracing their most revered father," Mo Zheng whispered to Yang Luo. "It felt like a stab in the back; it hurt a lot, but it was also a way of getting revenge, wasn't it?"

Yang Luo looked at Mo Zheng and smiled: "I know the truth in this life, so I'm not so angry with Jiang Meng. In my eyes, she's stupid and ridiculous."

Mo Zheng said, "She still needs to be taught a lesson."

As they spoke, the sound of birdsong could be heard.

Mo Zheng listened intently for a moment.

Although Yang Luo couldn't understand the words, he knew that it must be Uncle Hong's men relaying the message.

"What?" she asked in a low voice.

"Those people are here," Mo Zheng said softly. "They want to see you."

Yang Luo breathed a sigh of relief: "Perfect, I'll go talk to them about what's been going on lately, ask them for help again, and maybe make them slip up a bit more."

Mo Zheng cautioned, "Be careful."

Yang Luo nodded: "Don't worry, I'm surrounded by an impenetrable wall of defense right now."

Besides Mo Zheng's men, the emperor also provided many overt and covert guards.

Mo Zheng nodded with a smile, watching Yang Luo walk briskly outside.

Lingyu's voice came from above.

"Junior sister," he said, "the teacher is calling you."

Mo Zheng withdrew her gaze, lifted her skirt, and walked briskly to him. Looking at Ling Yu's expression, she exclaimed, "Ah, are we going to get punished again?"

Ling Yu nodded with a smile: "You interrupted Mr. Zhong's lecture, so you're punished by having to organize Mr. Zhong's lecture notes."

Mr. Zhong was the instructor who just gave the princess and her companions a lesson.

Mo Zheng let out a wail: "I was wrong."

Ling Yu turned around with a smile: "If you're wrong, just accept the punishment."

Mo Zheng, oh dear, oh dear, keep up!

……

……

"Miss Asheng has arrived."

"Inside please."

Yang Luo jumped off the carriage. After two disguised guards entered the restaurant first, she slowly followed them in. Behind her, a few hidden guards dispersed around the street leading to the restaurant.

Actually, this restaurant belongs to Uncle Hong and his family.

Of course, Uncle Hong no longer needs to avoid these secret guards, because they also have imperial-bestowed secret guard badges.

"Miss Asheng, prepare Miss Yang's favorite dishes right away."

"Please have a seat here and wait a moment."

Amidst the shouts of the workers, Yang Luo walked toward the prepared room.

She was still thinking about what had just happened.

She was indeed not angry with Jiang Meng.

Because, right now, she can kill Jiang Meng without any effort.

Why be angry at someone who can be killed at any time?
With a smile on his lips, Yang Luo entered the inner room accompanied by two men who were pretending to be shop assistants under Uncle Hong.

"Miss Asheng seems to be in a good mood," the old man said with a smile as he stood indoors.

Yang Luo glanced at him and saw that besides the old man, there was another old man sitting inside, carefully preparing tea...

Did they bring servants to prepare tea?
Yang Luo withdrew his gaze and responded to the old man's words: "Our young lady has avenged her great grudge, so of course she should be happy."

The old man nodded: "So it was the Li family who were behind this. Miss is amazing; you've caught them red-handed."

Yang Luo smiled faintly and sat down, with two shop assistants standing on either side of her.

"Your son is quite something," the servant who was preparing the tea said suddenly, pouring a cup of tea and smiling slightly.

Yang Luo looked at him and saw that the old servant was actually not very old, just over fifty, with a ruddy complexion and bright eyes.

It looks more like the owner.

Yes, the old man is indeed still standing...

The thought flashed through her mind, but the old servant's voice continued to speak.

"...I wonder if I could meet you in person this time to offer my congratulations?"

Yang Luo smiled arrogantly: "I will pass on the message to my young master. There's no need for us to meet in person. We will invite you to celebrate with him when he achieves his goal."

The old servant said, "Well, your young master is being a bit too disrespectful."

So what if they don't give me face? Yang Luo smiled: "Don't be angry, you guys—"

Before he could finish speaking, the old servant abruptly slammed his teacup down.

"Careful, young lady!" came the shop assistant's shout.

At the same time, a man suddenly stood in front of her and raised his hand to chop.

With a clang, Yang Luo saw a flash of cold light before his eyes as a snake-like sword was struck by a short knife.

But it didn't fly away.

The sword flicked like a snake, sliding from its thrust at the throat to the arm.

Blood instantly seeped through the spring shirt and spread.

Compared to having his throat slit in his previous life, having his arm cut was also very painful. A thought flashed through Yang Luo's mind. Two shop assistants fell to the ground in front of him, blood spreading in his vision, and he heard sounds that seemed to come from near and far.

“You’re joking, young lady. We have no relation to you, so why are you angry?”

"We only know how to use our hands."

The sword light struck again, and Yang Luo instinctively closed his eyes.

Is she going to die again?
