712 Palace
Everyone could tell what Yue Ya was thinking, so they did not stop her.

They did not need to think too much about these things. Ning Caichen definitely had his own ideas and would not let himself be manipulated.

The princess snorted.

She was just an attendant; yet she still wanted to win the favor of Lord Ning Caichen. She was really arrogant.

After Yue Ya got into the carriage, she secretly looked at Jiang Ming cautiously.

Jiang Ming noticed Yue Ya’s gaze and could not help but find it funny. He looked at Yue Ya and said, “If you have anything to say, just say it. I can listen.”

Yue Ya coughed. “I feel that your temperament is not bad, but I’ve never seen you before. I’m very curious as to which family you are from.”

Jiang Ming thought for a moment and said casually, “I’m just a passerby. I’m not a big shot at all. Don’t think too highly of me.”

Yue Ya could not believe Jiang Ming’s words and shook her head repeatedly. “That’s impossible. No one with a high status would follow a passerby. Since you’re unwilling to say it, I won’t force you. I don’t care. I just want to be friends with you, okay?”

Yue Ya felt that the probability of becoming Jiang Ming’s partner was basically zero. In that case, she could become friends with Jiang Ming.

If anything happened to the second princess, she could ask Ning Caichen for help.

Jiang Ming did not care if they were friends or not. He shrugged and said, “Anything is fine. I don’t think there’s a problem.”

Yue Ya was stunned for a moment, and then she became a little distressed.

Ning Caichen was too indifferent. If anything happened to her, could she still count on him?

Jiang Ming understood Yue Ya’s thoughts and immediately said, “I’m not that free. If something happens to your second princess, I won’t be able to help. You’d better find someone else.”

Yue Ya pursed her lips and immediately became awkward again. However, she could not continue to say anything, so she casually lifted the curtain and changed the subject. “The scenery today is really beautiful.”

When the curtain was lifted, the flowers outside the curtain were revealed in front of Jiang Ming and Yue Ya.

Only then did Jiang Ming realize that they had come to the wilderness. There were still some weeds outside.

Yue Ya was confused. “We are going to the palace. Why is this carriage in the suburbs?”

Jiang Ming immediately sensed that something was wrong and asked someone to stop the carriage. However, the coachman in front of him did not seem to hear him and kept running forward, not giving Jiang Ming and the others a chance to stop.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming roughly understood the current situation. He conjured some fine sand in his hand and sprinkled it under the curtain.

The horse outside immediately shouted and stopped. At the same time, the driver’s angry roar could be heard.

“Trash, trash! How long has he been running to be so energetic?”

Jiang Ming lifted the curtain at the front of the carriage. “Where do you want this horse to take us?”

The pressure in his voice was very urgent, causing the coachman to tremble involuntarily. However, he could still barely accept it. He immediately stabilized his body and looked at Jiang Ming.

“Lord Ning Caichen, Lady Yue Ya, this is the shortcut to the palace. I’ve only reached the outskirts. Please don’t blame me.”

As Jiang Ming and Yue Ya’s carriage stopped, the carriages behind them also stopped.

The crowd behind them did not realize that they were on a strange road. They quickly lifted the curtain and asked Jiang Ming and Yue Ya.

“What happened? This horse seems to be irritable. When I looked at it just now, it was still alright.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming comforted everyone behind him. “It’s not a big problem. Don’t worry. It’s just a small matter. It’ll be resolved soon.”

Zhu Asi sensed danger. He looked at the coachman in front of him and said aggressively, “Coachman, are you taking us to a strange place? Who are you? Hurry up and tell us!”

The coachman pretended to be flustered and hurriedly said, “How is that possible? The two of you have really misunderstood me! Why would I bring you all to a strange place for no reason?”

Zhu An’an raised her eyebrows and looked at the barren land surrounding them. She was a little unhappy. “How can there only be a few flowers on the path to the palace? Hurry up and tell us the truth. Otherwise, you’ll pay!”

The coachman became even more flustered. “I’m so sorry. I can’t tell you. At most, you can just take my life. I’m willing.”

As he spoke, the coachman took out a dagger from his waist and was about to stab himself, but Jiang Ming stopped him.

Something popped out of Jiang Ming’s hand and knocked the coachman’s dagger off.

With a clang, the blade fell to the bottom.

The coachman also secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming’s next sentence surprised him.

“We won’t touch you. Just tell us who’s behind this. In addition, when I let you go, I won’t let anyone touch you.”

Jiang Ming could tell that the coachman was not King Liang’s man at all, so he immediately helped him out.

However, the coachman did not expect to be seen through. He continued to say stubbornly, “No, I am Prince of Liang’s man. I can’t be anyone else’s man.”
However, Murong Kuan saw through the coachman’s true identity. “You… Are you Mu Beiqing’s man?”

This time, not only were the others stunned, but even the coachman was stunned.

The coachman did not expect Murong Kuan to hit the nail on the head. He panicked, but he managed to remain calm.

“There’s something wrong with your argument, Prince Liang. If I were the former prince regent’s man, I would definitely have killed you all. Why would I bring you all to this place?”

The coachman’s words were frank.

Because of this, Jiang Ming was even more convinced that the coachman was not a simple coachman but someone else in disguise.

At this moment, the other coachmen also followed the coachman and said, “Prince Liang, please prove that this coachman really has no ulterior motives.”

They spoke simultaneously. It was obvious that these coachmen wanted to protect this coachman.

Jiang Ming smiled secretly.

It seemed that they had walked into a den of thieves. Now, they did not know where the real culprit was.

He was a little curious. What did the former regent, Mu Beiqing, want to do to them?

It seemed that they had come to the Daliang Kingdom this time to get involved in the imperial court.

Jiang Ming immediately regretted it.

If he had known earlier, he would not have agreed to Liang Shengsheng’s request for no reason. Now, he was involved in even greater trouble.

He wondered if they would be able to find the bracelet and leave the Daliang Kingdom.
