Song Shuwan looked up at the plaque above, feeling a little anxious. She was about to step forward, but was stopped by Baicao.
"Prince Concubine, please go over and call the door. Please don't be impatient. You must not be impatient at this moment."
Baicao said, and went to the door of Yunlai Villa and knocked on the door.
While we were drinking tea, the side door of the Villa opened, and a young man stuck his head out: "Who are you? Why are you knocking on the door of our Villa?"
"The Crown Princess is here to visit and wants to meet the owner of this villa."
The young man looked back and said, "It turns out to be the Crown Princess, please come in."
Song Shuwan didn't waste any time and walked straight past. Baicao and Feiyuan exchanged glances, and both of them suppressed their worries.
In the hall, a woman in blue clothes was facing the door.
Song Shuwan stopped, hesitated several times, and finally called out a title she hadn't called for a long time: "Aunt."
The woman turned around. She was the wife of Duke Xinguo. When she heard the word aunt, a flash of sarcasm flashed across her face: "It seems that that little maid is very important to you. Since you married into the Duke's mansion,
But you haven’t called me aunt for a long time.”
Song Shuwan's eyes flashed slightly and she tightened her hands slightly: "Auntie, Tao'er is just a maid and has nothing to do with you. Why do you target her?"
Mrs. Xinguo Gong smiled: "Since you still call me aunt, you will recognize me as your elder. How can I call you a target when I see the maid next to you?"
Song Shuwan pursed her lips. They met for only a few words, but everything she could say was blocked by Mrs. Xinguo Gong.
After a moment, she smiled slightly: "My aunt wants to see my maid, so that's not a direct result. Now that she has met her, can you summon her so that I can take her back to the Marquis Mansion?"
Mrs. Xinguo Gong sighed: "I would like to leave the person to you, but the problem is that she is not in this villa now."
Song Shuwan's face instantly sank: "Not in this villa?"
Mrs. Xin Guogong nodded: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's sit down and have a cup of tea. Let's talk slowly."
Song Shuwan clenched her fingers and turned around with all kinds of thoughts. She finally chose to sit down. No matter what, she must take Tao'er back today.
"Tea."
The maid brought tea, and Mrs. Xin Guogong took a sip. She looked up and saw that no one was moving, and smiled slightly: "What, are you afraid that there is something wrong with this tea?"
Song Shuwan smiled: "Auntie was joking."
As she spoke, she picked up the tea cup, opened the tea lid with one hand and gently swayed the tea leaves. The faint fragrance came, which made people sober up.
Mrs. Xin Guogong lowered her eyes, covering up all her thoughts: "Just now you called me aunt, then you won't refuse me as my aunt to ask you to do something, right?"
Song Shuwan's eyes narrowed slightly, but she did not answer immediately: "What does aunt want me to do?"
"Save my Rou'er."
Mrs. Xinguo Gong stared at Song Shuwan, with a seemingly calm expression hiding a bit of madness: "You can save my Rou'er."
Song Shuwan put down the tea cup: "Auntie was joking, I'm just an ordinary woman, I can't save her."
"An ordinary woman?" Mrs. Xin Guogong repeated, with a cold look in her eyes, "You entered the prison, but you just walked around for a while and came out. In such a situation, how dare you say that you are an ordinary woman?"
"Since my aunt knows that I have entered the prison, she should know why I went in and why I came out. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that my aunt still wants me to save people..."
In the middle of Song Shu's polite words, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she couldn't help but cover her head and bend down: "You, what did you do?"
Mrs. Xinguo Gong looked at her condescendingly, with more compassion in her expression: "It's just a little Sutra powder. If you don't save people for me, someone will save people for me. This is the price. Someone needs to bear it."
While speaking, Mrs. Xinguo Gong arrived in front of Song Shuwan and slowly bent down. The distance between the two became closer, so close that it seemed that even their breaths could be intertwined.
Song Shuwan lowered her head and tried to retreat, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in her abdomen. She looked over and saw blood gushing out along the dagger: "That man wants you to kill me."
"right."
Mrs. Xinguo Gong looked at Song Shuwan steadily, her calm look no longer existed: "It's the same as going into the heavenly prison. How come you can come out after going in for a while, but my Rou'er is still in the heavenly prison? Just because
Isn't the majesty of Duke Xinguo's palace inferior to that of the Marquis? It doesn't matter, as long as you die, someone will naturally save people for me."
Song Shuwan opened her mouth and her eyes fell outside the hall. Where were Baicao and Feiyuan? Aren't they just outside the door?
Mrs. Xinguo Gong followed her line of sight, with a fierce look in her eyes, she pulled out the dagger and said, "Don't think about your two maids. If someone is blocking them, they won't be able to get through."
Seeing that the dagger was about to fall again, Song Shuwan fell to the side without thinking. She covered the wound with one hand and staggered out of the hall.
After a few steps, he fell to the ground limply, without even the strength to move his fingers.
Mrs. Xinguo Gong held a dagger and followed her slowly: "You are very vigilant and don't even drink the tea. But unfortunately, the Ruanjing Powder I gave you only needs to be smelled to take effect. Song Shuwan, don't blame your aunt,
My aunt just wants to save her daughter."
Song Shuwan's pupils reflected the dagger, and she rolled to the side with all her strength: "Zhong Rou will not want to save Princess Jingyang for no reason. She has no one in her hands. If you want to save her, why don't you think about it first?
Who lent the person to her for trouble?"
The dagger paused in mid-air, and Mrs. Xin Guogong clenched her fingers: "Those are not important. All I want now is for her to come out. Do you understand?"
"I am the Emperor's personal concubine, and I am also the Crown Princess of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. If you attack me, once the matter is exposed, then..."
"If you die, the matter will naturally not be exposed."
Song Shuwan's pupils shrank and her whole body trembled. Is she really going to die here today?
"presumptuous!"
At this moment, a cold shout suddenly came, followed by a short knife flying from outside the hall, hitting Mrs. Xinguo's heart, and a black shadow turned into wind, pushing the fallen person away.
At the same time, the sound of rolling wooden wheels reached Song Shuwan's ears. She opened her eyes wide and saw that it was Pei Huan.
At the entrance of the hall, Pei Huan turned his head slightly: "Are you injured?"
Song Shuwan was helped up by the secret guard: "Yes, where is Baicao?"
"My slave is here."
Baicao walked in from the hall with blood all over her body. The evil aura on her face touched the people inside, and she instantly turned into panic: "Prince Princess, what's wrong with you?"
"Quick, stop the bleeding."
Song Shuwan struggled to spit out three words, her body slid down uncontrollably, her consciousness blurred, and a sudden sharp pain hit her, causing her eyes to widen in an instant.
After a while, Song Shuwan looked blankly at the man opposite: "Why did the prince come here in such a hurry?"
