Chapter 997 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One Hundred and Nineteen)

After leaving the palace, Qingli sat in the carriage, rubbing her forehead with her fingers. This palace banquet required careful attention to every detail. The food and seats were not good, it was just like going there just to punch in.

"Miss, let me massage it for you."

"No, I'm not very tired. Just sit down and rest."

Qingli rejected Chunlan. She was able to sit down and attend the palace banquet, but Chunlan had to stand for several hours.

After checking in at the palace, she saw that the Shufei lineage was even more conspicuous than in her previous life, but it was a very fierce situation and she didn't know if the Shufei could bear it.

Qingli couldn't understand why the emperor was so favoring Concubine Shu and the Eighth Prince today. Was it true affection, or did he have ulterior motives? The emperor was giving Concubine Ye and Noble Lady Tang hope, letting them know he wasn't truly disdained and that their sons still had hope of recovery. Meanwhile, he was showering Concubine Shu and the Eighth Prince with favor. Could it be that the emperor really wanted his sons to continue fighting to the point of mutual destruction?

What is he trying to achieve? To ensure that there is no one to succeed him?

Qingli felt that the conflict between the emperor and the empress had probably reached an irreconcilable point. Watching from afar today, the impatience and disgust in the emperor's eyes were about to overflow. If it weren't for the occasion, the emperor would probably have wanted to slap the empress.

This royal thing is really unpredictable.

There was the sound of horse hooves behind.

"Li'er, I'll take you back."

It’s Wei Ying.

Qingli opened the car window and looked at the man riding a tall horse outside the car.

"Now that you're here, who in the imperial city dares to attack the Prime Minister? I'm safe." "I'll feel at ease if I can send you off in person."

"Then I'll trouble Ah Ying."

Qingli looked at Wei Ying with tender eyes and a bright smile on her face.

"What trouble can there be between you and me? The wind is strong, close the car window quickly."

Qingli listened to him and closed the car window obediently.

Wei Ying was guarding outside the carriage, following closely on horseback.

Half an hour later, Qingli looked at the scene of swords and sabers outside, and for a moment she couldn't figure out who dared to kill the prime minister and his female relatives.

She didn't expect that just when she said that no one in the imperial city dared to attack the prime minister, someone would come to attack her with a sword.

As the carriage passed through a narrow road, it was initially rained with arrows. After the rain of arrows, a large number of men in black suddenly emerged, their primary target being the carriages of the Prime Minister, her, and the two female relatives of Song and Chen. The attacking men were few in number. Wei Ying had only four guards with him, and the Prime Minister's guards numbered only fifteen. The initial estimate of the number of men in black was around thirty. Even though Wei Ying had sent out signal flares, reinforcements could not arrive immediately, and the fighting became extremely fierce.

Seeing that the men in black around him had been dealt with, Qingli urged, "Aying, go see my father quickly."

"Then be careful. All of you, protect the young lady."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Wei Ying fought his way forward.

Qingli was glad that she had modified the carriage of the prime minister's mansion. As long as the windows were closed tightly, arrows could not penetrate the interior of the carriage. Her prime minister father should still be alive. After all, the people he protected were all masters. A large amount of silver was provided to those masters every year. Now was the time when they were needed. They couldn't just eat for free, right?

This place is quite a distance away from the imperial palace, Jingzhao Prefecture and Dali Temple. It is estimated that those officers and soldiers could only come to collect the bodies, but they must have come to collect the bodies of these men in black.

Qingli had previously thought herself safe. The struggle for imperial power had nothing to do with the Prime Minister's residence; after all, the Prime Minister didn't take sides and was the Emperor's subordinate. But she hadn't anticipated the risk of being the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter. Could it be that the princes were angry that the Prime Minister hadn't interceded for them, and that Song Shuyun was an eyesore? Or had her father caught someone?

Even though those men in black had set an ambush, Prime Minister Song and Wei Ying were not pushovers, and Wei Ying soon returned on horseback.

"Aying, are you and my dad okay?"

"Li'er, we're all fine. We're safe now. Please stay in the carriage. The road needs to be cleared before the carriage can continue moving forward."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Hearing the footsteps of a large number of officers and soldiers, Qingli felt helpless. As expected, he could not rely on them when something happened.

After clearing a path, the carriage continued to move forward, and Prime Minister Song left someone to take charge of the aftermath.

When he returned to the mansion, Song Lingji had already known about the attack and was waiting at the door. Even the pregnant Cheng Ya was there.

Qingli quickly got out of the car and scolded her brother.

"Why are you here, sister-in-law? I'll take you back to the house."

Song Lingji supported his wife carefully.

Cheng Ya comforted Qing Li: "Don't blame your brother, I insisted on coming here. I can't sleep without seeing you. How could someone dare to attack the Prime Minister's carriage? Don't these people want to die?"
