Sang Qi followed Chu Nanzhi's instructions and quietly sneaked into the Duwei Mansion.
Although Ji Rongheng's status is prominent, there are not many people in the house. In addition, because he has just arrived, he has been engaged in military affairs all day, and he has not even had time to arrange the servants. There are only four military servants to take care of the house.
Shortly after nightfall, while Sang Qi was hiding in the house, she saw a group of people sneaking into the courtyard. Then they began to carry dry firewood from various places and went straight to the main courtyard where Ji Rongheng lived.
Not long after, the blazing fire started burning.
Sang Qi immediately realized that these people wanted to burn the sleeping Ji Rongheng to death in the courtyard.
Before the fire spread, she rushed into the inner hall of the main courtyard. Thick smoke was billowing everywhere, but there was still thunderous snoring in the room.
Sang Qi shook her head angrily: "It's really heartless. She's almost dead and yet she's still sleeping like a dead pig."
She carefully watched her surroundings and rushed to the couch, only to smell a disgusting smell of alcohol.
"Grand Governor?"
Sang Qi called out several times, but Ji Rongheng lay on the bed without any reaction.
With no other choice, she had no choice but to pick him up and rush out of the courtyard.
Unintentionally, she bumped into a servant who was setting fire and was running towards them. With quick eyes and hands, Sang Qi quickly put down the sleeping Ji Rongheng. Before the man could scream, he threw him to the ground and then threw the little
The servant threw it into Ji Rongheng's bedroom.
He came out and looked around. Seeing that no one was aware, he carried Ji Rongheng and climbed out of the courtyard wall.
Not far after escaping from the Captain's Mansion, I heard urgent calls from everywhere: "The water is running out."
Immediately afterwards, the roaring sounds of fire fighting were heard one after another.
"The master is still smart and always takes precautions."
While admiring her master's keen insight, Sang Qi continued on her way carrying Ji Rongheng.
After walking all the way to avoid the people who were going to put out the fire in the Duwei's Mansion, Sang Qi was panting from exhaustion. She looked at an inn not far away with the lights still on, and climbed in through the back wall.
As soon as he landed, he saw Ji Rongheng standing up staggeringly. Looking at the unfamiliar environment and the woman in front of him, Ji Rongheng couldn't help but be stunned.
Recognizing that the woman was the personal maid beside Princess Pingning, her expression suddenly changed and she asked solemnly: "What do you want to do in the middle of the night?"
Sang Qi wiped the sweat from her forehead, leaned against the courtyard wall slowly, and pointed in the direction illuminated by the fire in the distance.
"Why is there a fire in my house?"
Ji Rongheng lay down on the edge of the wall and took a closer look, only to realize that his palace was on fire. Just as he was about to go out to put out the fire, Sang Qi quickly stopped him and said, "The Governor is going back like this?"
Ji Rongheng glanced at his body, which was only wrapped in underwear. He returned to the ground, tightened his clothes, and asked without curiosity: "What on earth is going on?"
"It's time to ask the Governor himself."
Sang Qi replied coldly.
"Is it possible that someone wants to harm this governor?"
Ji Rongheng thought about what happened before falling asleep.
Not long after he returned from the Governor's Mansion, Pei Jian came to the house, saying that he was upset about Princess Yan Jing's detention of Princess Pingning and worried about the future of Langzhou, so he invited him to drink and complain.
This guy also apologized to himself for being ordered to lead troops to monitor the post house that day. Looking at his sincere attitude, Ji Rongheng really thought that he was feeling guilty, but he never thought that he was harboring evil intentions.
There was no need to think deeply, he immediately understood what was going on, clenched his fists fiercely and cursed: "This little guy Pei Jian must have been ordered by the eldest princess to harm this governor."
No matter how carefully I recalled the assassination of Chu Nanzhi and what the eldest princess had said to me during the day, I realized that I was afraid that the eldest princess had already started planning to get rid of him.
A disgusting, despicable and shameless evil woman.
Ji Rongheng cursed loudly, but saw someone coming from the garden.
He immediately told Sang Qi: "Miss Sang Qi, please go back to the post house and tell the princess that the governor will try to take her out of Langzhou. However, the princess must be more careful about tomorrow's dinner party."
After saying that, he urged Sang Qi to quickly climb over the wall and leave.
The storekeeper who entered the garden found that the disheveled man who looked through the courtyard was the governor of the state capital. He was so frightened that his hair stood up and he hesitated: "Grand... Grand Governor, you... how could you appear in the villain's house?"
In the inn.”
"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to survive, don't take action."
Ji Rongheng warned impatiently. Seeing the look of fear on the shopkeeper's face, he then ordered: "Go and prepare an upper room for me, and bring clean clothes."
The shopkeeper hurried away in a hurry, not daring to ask any more questions.
The news from the Captain's Mansion quickly reached the post house. Chu Nanzhi had not slept deeply that night. She woke up from her sleep and heard Sang Qi's voice gently ringing at the door: "Master."
Chu Nanzhi glanced at Erbao and Sibao who were still sleeping soundly, walked out of bed quietly, lit a lamp, went over to open the door and brought Sang Qi in.
"Shh."
After shushing Sang Qi, Chu Nanzhi took her to a side room and sat down. Seeing her sweating profusely, Chu Nanzhi quickly got her a cup of tea.
Sang Qi took a sip of tea and then whispered: "As the master expected, someone really wants to harm Governor Ji."
After taking a few breaths, Sang Qi continued: "But please don't worry, Master. I have brought the Governor to a safe place. He asked me to come back first to deliver the message."
"Very good."
Chu Nanzhi nodded with satisfaction: "Go back to your room and have a good rest. Come with me to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow. Let's watch the excitement."
Looking at her master's proud smile, Sang Qi finally understood what she was planning these days. It turned out that she was not idle and had easily alienated the relationship between Princess Yan Jing and Ji Rongheng.
When the master was happy, she was naturally happy too and left the house with great satisfaction.
Chu Nanzhi casually walked out of the room, went to the courtyard and looked at the place where the fire was burning in the direction of the Duwei Mansion. She vaguely seemed to hear the sounds of joy and curses, and various emotions seemed to be intertwined together.
After being lost in thought for a long time, she returned to the room, closed the door and turned off the lights, lay back on the bed, and listened to the even breathing of Er Bao and Si Bao. She stretched out her hands to hug Si Bao's warm body, trying to calm down.
With excitement in my heart, I am quietly waiting for a new day to come soon.
This time, the stubborn donkey should be able to strengthen his determination, right?
Thinking of this, she closed her eyes happily.
In her dream, she seemed to see Lin Jinxiao riding a tall horse, galloping on the official road full of spring, and that heroic figure was rushing towards her.
The separation of more than half a year has been as long as centuries. What she longs for most now is to lean into his arms carefree, without having to calculate anything, and to enjoy the long-lost love unscrupulously.
Cozy and peaceful.
These days, she feels too tired and tired.
Others could not see the panic in her heart, but she could feel the pain herself.
