The night before entering the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Lin Niang took out a detailed map of the palace.
Shen Xingwan and Shen Xingwan watched carefully and memorized the map firmly in their minds.
Lin Niang pointed to the route marked with a pen, "Once the assassination attempt is successful and they run towards Leng Palace, this is the only place with the weakest defense. Lan Die has already tried to sneak in."
This cold palace is in the corner, and almost no one pays attention to it. Lan Die spent a lot of effort to sneak in and become a palace maid, but it would be difficult to go further.
People in the cold palace cannot come out unless summoned.
Shen Xingwan said, "Let's find a way to hide the weapons with her."
There are very few of them who can get in here. She brings the piano here, and the dancing green caltrop on Shen Ruoyan's side can be used as a weapon in itself.
What kind of knife or sword? In order to get in smoothly, I won't take risks.
After discussing the countermeasures, the two of them had a good night's sleep.
When we set out early the next morning, the chief steward personally announced that the two of them would take over as substitutes and perform a solo show.
The two of them immediately became the target of public criticism, and the girls' eyes almost wanted to eat them alive.
Unfortunately, the matter was a foregone conclusion. Under the murderous gazes of the girls, the two got on the carriage and followed the dance studio to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
After walking for more than an hour, the street became quieter and quieter. Shen Ruoyan quietly opened the car curtain and saw the Fourth Prince's Mansion occupying most of the street.
The two of them were cautious in their words and did not speak.
With their status, they could only go through the corner door. Soon Manager Zhang came over and said, "Get out of the car."
The two got off the bus quietly. Two tall maids stood at the door. They went up one by one and were inspected and searched.
The inspection was quite strict. The two of them looked at each other and lined up with low eyebrows.
When it was their turn, they were inspected from head to toe, and even the piano in Shen Xingwan's hand was carefully inspected.
"Just wait nearby," the woman said.
Soon the group was checked, and there were no problems. Manager Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
The leading maid said, "Follow me."
They were taken to a courtyard where there was music and singing. It seemed that it was specially designed to keep people in this field.
The palace maid said, "You can practice and rest here by yourself, and perform well at the banquet in the evening."
"Yes." Manager Zhang responded.
As soon as the maids left, Steward Zhang relaxed. She often went to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and had a pretty good relationship with the steward who was in charge of the dancing girls and singers here.
Soon, Manager Zhang got to know the nanny who managed the place warmly, and she generously arranged a dance practice workshop for them.
But no one moved, firstly to save energy, and secondly because it was the last minute and no one wanted to have an accident.
Of course, in order to maintain their health, they couldn't even eat lunch. They drank water when they were thirsty and endured when they were hungry.
As soon as the sun went down, Manager Zhang came to tell them to put on makeup and change clothes, and prepare to go on stage.
There is a special dressing room here, and Shen Xingwan and Shen Ruoyan refused the makeup girls in the dance studio.
Do it yourself, fresh and beautiful Southern style, of course they are better at it, the two of them do it themselves.
Shen Ruoyan wore a lake green gauze skirt, taking a fresh and fairy-like route.
Shen Xingwan wore an ice blue dress and took the route of a cold beauty as cold as ice.
Generally speaking, compared to Beirong's warm, bright and unrestrained style, they are completely the opposite extreme.
As soon as the two dressed up and walked out, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Manager Zhang is stable again this time," someone said angrily.
Manager Zhang smiled and said nothing.
Chen Xingwan's program was ranked very low, which was not very advantageous. At that time, people were already tired and dazzled by the show.
The two of them waited patiently in the background, and could faintly hear the noise coming from the seats, which sounded very lively.
The fourth prince Huyan Haolan sat in the main seat, and those sitting there were all the princes of the Beirong nobles. They all had vicious eyes when it came to things like singing, dancing and beauties.
The first two programs at Huatingfang received good response. Several girls had smiles on their faces as soon as they came.
Manager Zhang was a little nervous, "It's your turn."
The two of them walked onto the stage. By this time, the noble gentlemen were already drunk and had watched a lot of singing and dancing. Everyone was not tired and leaned on their seats, looking like they could not cheer up.
Shen Xingwan sat down at the piano table, raised his hand and played lightly.
"Zhengzheng~"
The cool and sparse sound of the piano brings a refreshing air, which instantly makes people energetic.
At this time, compared to the lively and colorful stage, such a clean and cold performance is more pleasing to the people.
The fourth prince opened his eyes and looked over.
Shen Ruoyan danced gracefully in the center of the stage, her light figure and elegant skirt reminded people of the greenery in the lotus pond in summer.
The sound of the piano is quiet and smooth, which is a double enjoyment of sight and hearing.
When the song ended, the banquet was completely silent.
Shen Xingwan stood up and saluted the fourth prince together with Shen Ruoyan.
The fourth prince swung the wine in his glass and said, "Raise your head."
The two of them slowly raised their heads, one cold and charming, the other pure and beautiful. Their beauty was completely different from that of Beirong women.
The fourth prince's eyes lit up. There were few similar colors in the harem. If he was sent to the palace, he would surely win the Holy Heart.
"What song are you playing? Why haven't I heard it?"
Shen Xingwan softened his voice and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, it's called "Huanhua", and it's a song spread from the south."
The fourth prince announced the list on the spot, a total of four people.
In addition to them, there are two others, Qumuli, Qujuxing.
They bowed and thanked the fourth prince and were about to leave the stage.
Suddenly someone shouted, "There are assassins, protect the frame!"
The four of them were panicking on the stage. Shen Xingwan and Shen Ruoyan held hands in fear and leaned against each other.
Suddenly two assassins came towards them with swords, and Shen Xingwan had a look of fear on his face.
She felt Shen Ruoyan hold her hand firmly, and she pinched Shen Ruoyan's palm hard.
The two were so frightened that their appearance turned pale, they closed their eyes in fear and made no other moves.
The sword stopped three inches away from their chests, and both of them were still trembling.
The fourth prince looked at the four people's reactions. The man stood up and clapped his hands, "Congratulations, you passed the last test."
The four people's legs weakened and they fell on the stage. Soon a palace maid came over and helped them down.
Shen Xingwan narrowed his eyes slightly, this fourth prince's move was very powerful.
You must know that people who are good at martial arts will react subconsciously when danger suddenly approaches.
Shen Ruoyan almost couldn't hold it back just now. If she took action, they would be finished tonight.
This testing method is unexpected, but it is very effective.
It seems that even if they are selected, they cannot take it lightly.
Because they were sisters, they were arranged in the same room.
Shen Ruoyan said, "It was so dangerous just now, I thought we would be finished."
Shen Xingwan sighed, this assassination road didn't look easy at the moment, and there wasn't much time left for them.
