The concubine was charming and alluring, and the ruthless prince coaxed her day and night.

Chapter 120 Heaven is helping her

"Miss?"

Looking at the young lady's bulging eyes filled with terror, he called out softly in a trembling voice, but received no response.

At this moment, he had already guessed the outcome, but he still tentatively placed his hand under Su He's nose to carefully feel her breath.

Confirming that the young lady was dead, the guard trembled and let out a desperate roar: "Miss!!! Who?! Who did this?!"

The mournful roars were exceptionally clear in the silent night.

As countless birds took flight, many people in the hunting grounds were also startled by the sound and rushed towards the direction of the noise.

Hearing the various noises, the guards accompanying Su He dared not make any rash moves, for fear of being discovered for their evil deeds.

Xu Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes slightly and took the opportunity to leave quickly.

"Shut up!"

After running for a while, accompanied by the sound of reining in the horse, a shadow fell before Xu Jiaojiao's eyes.

She reacted quickly, raising the longsword in her hand and looking up.

"It's you?"

"General Tu?"

Seeing that the person in front of her was Tu Zhannan, Xu Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Tu Zhannan, riding on his horse, looked at Xu Jiaojiao with a deep gaze.

He remembered that this person was the maidservant who served Jia Rong.

When he sent Jia Rong back to the camp in the afternoon, the maid was no longer in the camp.

Jia Rong was already panicked when Prince Chen went missing, but when he returned to the camp and didn't see the maid, he became even more anxious and begged him to help find her.

Who would have thought that he would actually run into it.

She's just a maid, yet Jia Rong is so attentive to her; I'm afraid this maid isn't so simple.

Considering Prince Chen's disappearance, Tu Zhannan already had a deduction in mind.

But Tu Zhannan was always cautious, so he looked at Xu Jiaojiao and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xu Jiaojiao glanced at the group of guards who had been following her with lingering fear: "Naturally, we came in to find His Highness Prince Chen."

Tu Zhannan noticed her expression and immediately followed her gaze to the group of guards: "Are you one of His Highness Prince Chen's men?"

Tu Zhannan is one of Prince Chen's own people, so Xu Jiaojiao has no need to hide anything from him.

She nodded slightly: "Yes."

As she spoke, she took two steps forward: "General Tu, please help me!"

Having received a positive answer, Tu Zhannan already knew what to expect.

Faced with Xu Jiaojiao's request, he pursed his lips slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Xu Jiaojiao pointed to the group of guards and continued speaking to herself, "General Tu, I entered this hunting ground to do something for Prince Chen. Those people are acting suspiciously and have been following me for a long time. I would like to ask General Tu to help stop them!"

Tu Zhannan stared intently at the group of guards: "Why should I believe you?"

Without a second thought, Xu Jiaojiao said, "Just because Princess Jiarong trusts me so much, you should know that I would never harm His Highness Prince Chen!"

Tu Zhannan: "..."

That makes sense; he couldn't find a reason to refute it!

After a brief silence, he took out a token from his pocket and tossed it to Xu Jiaojiao: "Show this token to any soldiers or imperial guards you encounter. They won't bother you if they see it."

After saying that, he tightened the reins and galloped toward the group of guards.

Seeing Tu Zhannan entangled with the group of guards, Xu Jiaojiao gripped the token in her hand and continued walking deeper into the hunting grounds.

Meeting Tu Zhannan was completely unexpected, but his appearance did indeed do her a great favor.

She was gambling from the start that the hunting grounds were crowded and chaotic, and that those who wanted to kill her wouldn't dare to do so openly. At the same time, she was also gambling that there would be more than one group of people trying to kill her, and that these people were very likely to meet and thus restrain each other.

Heaven never favors the timid and cowardly; sometimes luck is the key to whether a person can succeed.

Xu Jiaojiao was also gambling, betting that fate would be on her side.

Clearly, Tu Zhannan's appearance at this moment was a sign that even God was helping her!

She had a vague idea of ​​what Prince Chen wanted to do, so she wanted to take this opportunity to lure out all those who wanted to harm her.

This trip is very dangerous, but you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Only in this way can we find all the enemies!

Xu Jiaojiao touched her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with determination.

Now that she's decided not to leave, she naturally wants to give herself and her child a future without any worries. She won't leave any of those who see her as a thorn in their side!

After walking for a while, the surroundings gradually returned to calm.

Xu Jiaojiao found a relatively flat spot and sat down.

As she massaged her aching calves, Xu Jiaojiao keenly heard the rustling sound of grass and clothes rubbing against each other not far away.

In the stillness of the night, every rustle of wind and the slightest movement becomes exceptionally clear.

Xu Jiaojiao frowned and paused slightly as she massaged her calves.

It seems like one problem after another is brewing.

She stood up casually, stretching her limbs, but in reality, her muscles were tense, and she held a grenades in her hand, ready to counterattack and run away at any moment.

"call out--"

Sure enough, shortly after the rustling sound disappeared, the sound of arrows piercing the air came.

Xu Jiaojiao's pupils shrank, and as she dodged to the side, she threw the thunderbolt in her hand hard in the direction from which the sound came from.

The damage caused by the explosion of the thunderbolt is not significant, but the smoke produced after the explosion is extremely pungent and obstructs vision.

Sure enough, after the thunderclap bomb exploded, Xu Jiaojiao heard a curse under her breath, and then a woman wearing a veiled hat quickly ran out.

"Cough cough cough..."

While coughing violently, the woman did not forget to find cover to shield herself.

Although the smoke obscured the woman's figure, Xu Jiaojiao recognized her at a glance as Zheng Antong!

If I remember correctly, Zheng Antong is still under house arrest. Who released her?

In a flash, Xu Jiaojiao recalled the plan that Bai Yiru had told her a few months ago.

At that time, Zheng Antong was still a concubine, and the Yongkang Marquis's mansion had not yet been raided.

They thought that with Zheng Antong gone, the plan would be abandoned, but they didn't expect Bai Yiru to not only not give up, but also want to kill two birds with one stone!

good good!

Very good!

However, Xu Jiaojiao was not afraid of the crazy Zheng Antong.

Zheng Antong wanted to kill her, but she decided to repay him in kind. Rather than keeping a ticking time bomb by her side, she decided to deal with it now.

Moreover, at this point, it's really not certain who will kill whom.

Thinking of Zheng Antong's repeated attempts to frame her, Xu Jiaojiao took down her crossbow, inserted arrows, and aimed at Zheng Antong behind the cover.

At the same time, Zheng Antong also loaded his arrows from behind the cover.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, Zheng Antong peeked at Xu Jiaojiao.

Seeing that the other person was still there, a hint of ruthlessness and a cold smile flashed in her eyes.

Not leaving?

Could it be that he still intends to kill her?

Thinking of the clothes she was wearing, Zheng Antong's smile grew even stronger.

Since Xu Jiaojiao wants to die, then she will send Xu Jiaojiao down to join Su He!

It's too late, but it's soon.

"call out--"

"call out--"

With the sound of an arrow piercing the air, Zheng Antong slightly turned from behind cover and fired an arrow at Xu Jiaojiao. The instant Zheng Antong peeked out, Xu Jiaojiao also fired an arrow at him…
