The Great Scheming Empress

  In sight, three people ride horses and gallop by, only in the blink of an eye, they have already disappeared at the end of the street.

  For some reason, seeing these three men, Jiuyin couldn't help but think of that legendary Wang Ye.

  She was certain that the man who insulted her on the city wall today was that prince.

  Although she had never met him before, she was very clear that he was not someone she could afford to offend.

  She just wanted to find the Twelve Riders as soon as possible and have them rescue Qing Cheng.

  Turned around and was about to leave from the other end of the alley, but didn't think that two burly men were already standing not far behind.

  Under the moonlight, she couldn't see their faces clearly, but it was clear that she had been targeted by the thugs.

  Surely, what one fears will come.

  No need to think much, just turn around and step out onto the main street.

  The two of them saw this, the evil smile on their lips not yet faded, took a step and chased after him. But just as they had taken only two steps, one of them's face suddenly sank, and he growled: "He is the King's man!"

  The man in front hesitated for a moment and asked suspiciously: "How did you know?"

  "The clothes she wore had the emblem of the palace embroidered on them."

  In a moment of stunned silence, Jiu Yin had already escaped from the alley and was sprinting wildly into the depths of the main street.

  In ancient times, it was nothing unusual for a girl to be wandering around on the streets at midnight and being targeted by rascals.

  A decent family's daughter, who would be running around outside at night? A girl with no sense of propriety like this, even if she gets bullied, it serves her right.

  So, Jiu Yin fled for his life on this road, and passersby on the street only took a few more glances, but no one was willing to lend a hand.

  Fortunately, those two people behind did not catch up.

  She ran all the way to the big tree at the corner of the street, leaning against the trunk, panting heavily, and didn't see anyone chasing after her, so she finally put down her high-strung heart.

  After she finished catching her breath, she finally calmed down and was about to leave.

  She had just taken a step forward when a fine horse blocked her way. She took two steps back, looked up and saw that even the calmest person would be frightened to the point of almost screaming.

  The man in blue clothes stared at her silently, and when he saw that she wanted to escape, he suddenly spurred his horse and galloped towards her.

  Jiuyin only had time to see a green robe flash by in his line of sight, and before he could react, the person was already hoisted high onto someone's shoulders.

  He carried a woman on his shoulder, but it didn't affect the speed of the green-robed man's horse galloping. The horse ran all the way down the main street and soon returned to the grand hall.

  The nine sounds were shaken by the bumpy road, and her head was dizzy for a while. She didn't know how long she had been carried when the man in green suddenly raised his hand, and she drew a perfect arc in mid-air like autumn leaves falling, before plummeting down rapidly.

  "Ah!"

  After a loud scream, Jiuyin fell into the familiar bathtub.

  The warm bathwater instantly submerged her from head to toe, and the rough toss by the man in green almost knocked her out.

  Jiuyin was afraid of water and after falling into the pool, she reflexively struggled and cried out for help.

  Two maidservants gradually approached and pulled her back to the edge of the bathtub, who was almost suffocated.

  Looking at the chaotic pool, the man in green clothes pursed his thin lips and said impatiently, "Clean it up as soon as possible."

  Having said that, he turned around and walked away with big strides, no longer paying attention to anything in the bathroom.

  "Yes! Sir!"

  Two maidservants did not dare to be slow, and quickly stripped off all the clothes on Jiuyin's body. They hastily washed her from head to toe while she was still dizzy, then lifted her out of the bathtub and carried her back to the shore.

  One person dried her body, and another put a light silk dress on her.

  All movements were smooth and unobstructed, without any hindrance. The nine sounds stood there, allowing them to toss about, without even the strength to resist.

  "It's all because of you, you wicked woman, that Liu'er sister was killed!" One of the maids, with red eyes, picked up a comb and began to brush Jiuyin's long hair, which had been dried, while scolding her.

  "You scoundrel, just wait and see how the king deals with you tonight!"

  Jiuyin still felt a bit dizzy in her head, but she had heard her words.

  What has become of that maid called Liu'er?
