After dark, Zhang Yanling drove Zhu Qingyi's master and servant back to Prince Qing's Mansion. When he came back, Zhang Yanling had already taken off her women's clothes, and was still wearing a torn straw hat and rags, pretending to be a coachman to confuse the audience. It was dark, and she entered the mansion.
At that time, no flaws were revealed.
However, Zhang Yanling knew that this matter could not be hidden for long. Sun Jingwen would definitely ask the driver and the people who were following him to inquire about the situation. If he couldn't find the two men on horseback who were following him, he would ask himself, the pretended 'coachman', to question him.
.But obviously he can't find it. So he will definitely come to ask.
However, to Zhang Yanling's surprise, after returning to the small building of Prince Qing's Mansion, Sun Jingwen did not come. There was no movement at the first watch. This surprised both Zhang Yanling and Zhu Qingyi.
Zhang Yanling believed that Sun Jingwen must have already known about the disappearance of the three people he sent, but he might not feel able to ask. After all, if a coachman disappeared after returning to the mansion, how could it be the princess's business? The princess of Qingwang Palace
Would you care about where a coachman went after returning home? Obviously it is impossible.
As for the two missing people who were following them on horseback, Sun Jingwen couldn't even ask. If he asked, he would be admitting that he had sent people to follow them. Wouldn't it be self-inflicted?
But even so, Zhang Yanling still felt something was wrong. After a few discussions with Zhu Qingyi, Zhu Qingyi also felt that something was fishy.
Halfway through the first update, suddenly, there were noisy footsteps outside the small building, and torches were shaking. The noise alarmed Zhang Yanling and Zhu Qingyi who were talking in a low voice upstairs. When they looked closer to the window, they saw at least hundreds of famous royal guards in the courtyard below.
They were pouring in holding torches.
"Guard the front and back doors. Place people everywhere and keep a close eye on them. Don't let anyone run away." Someone shouted loudly.
"As you command!"
The guards answered loudly, holding torches and spreading out, occupying every corner of the courtyard.
"Master Hou, what are they going to do?" Zhu Qingyi asked in shock.
Zhang Yanling realized immediately that things might change drastically. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Princess Princess, I may want to fight out. This kind of battle is definitely not directed at you. I'm afraid my whereabouts will be exposed."
Already."
"Ah!" Zhu Qingyi turned pale with fright and said tremblingly: "What should we do? How do you get out? There are all their people outside. Isn't this a suicide attempt?"
Zhang Yanling reached out and pulled out the firearm from his waist, clicked the bolt of the gun and loaded the bullet, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, I have to give it a try. Princess, if I can rush out, I will come back to save you and the young prince."
If I can't rush out, they won't say anything. The princess doesn't have to risk her life, so she agrees to Zhu Zhixiu's conditions. The green hills left behind are not afraid of running out of firewood."
Zhang Yanling spoke and rushed towards the door with a blunderbuss in hand.
But Zhu Qingyi grabbed him and said in a deep voice: "You can't go out and die. You hide. I will deal with it."
Zhang Yanling smiled bitterly and said: "Where can I hide?"
Zhu Qingyi rubbed her hands and looked around, then whispered: "Go to bed."
Zhang Yanling was startled. Zhu Qingyi had already begun to take off her clothes quickly. She took off her outer robe, revealing a light green dress. She could not see much in her outer robe, but as soon as the outer robe was taken off, her exquisite and concave figure was immediately revealed. She was naked.
The skin on his arms and shoulders is as white as snow, as smooth as gelatin.
"This..." Zhang Yanling was still in a daze.
"Hurry up and get in bed, what are you waiting for? They are coming. I don't believe they dare to lift my quilt and search for me. Hurry up." Zhu Qingyi urged in a sweet voice.
At this point, Zhang Yanling had no choice. She muttered something offended, then quickly stepped forward, opened the curtain, opened the brocade quilt, and climbed into the quilt.
Zhu Qingyi quickly looked at the furnishings in the room and put away the extra tea cup on the table. After looking around the room again and finding that there were no flaws, she lifted up the curtains and got into bed and got under the quilt. inside.
A warm fragrance hit Zhang Yanling's nose, and a soft body nestled in his arms. Zhang Yanling hurriedly moved to the side subconsciously.
"Hold me... tighter. Otherwise... outsiders will see it at a glance." Zhu Qingyi whispered softly, her breathing a little rapid.
Zhang Yanling gritted his teeth and whispered in her ear: "I'm sorry, Princess."
Zhu Qingyi said softly: "What are you talking about now? Hurry up and hide your head under the quilt."
Zhang Yanling reached out and hugged Zhu Qingyi's soft and delicate waist. She arched her body and pressed against Zhu Qingyi's butt and back. The two bodies were tightly pressed together. This posture was extremely ambiguous and indescribable.
In order not to show her head, Zhang Yanling had to put her head and face on Zhu Qingyi's back. The fragrance of Zhu Qingyi's body filled her nostrils, which was very disturbing. Zhang Yanling's body changed in an instant.
"You are such a dirty child, how can you still have evil thoughts at this time? What a bastard." Zhang Yanling pinched herself and cursed herself. She moved her body slightly away to collect her thoughts.
There was a thump of footsteps on the stairs, and the sounds of maids' exclamations and the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets came from the small building. There was a knock on the door to the outer room, and Caiyun's voice came.
"What are you doing? You are so bold. This is the princess's bedroom. Do you dare to break in?"
"Miss Caiyun, open the door quickly. Otherwise, we will break into the door." Sun Jingwen's voice came coldly.
Caiyun said loudly: "Sun Jingwen, who gave you such courage? If you dare to lead people into the princess's boudoir, are you going to die? Prince Anhua will not let you go."
"Miss Caiyun, the prince will be here soon. I am just following the prince's order. Why don't you open the door? If you don't open the door, don't blame us for being rude." Sun Jingwen shouted loudly.
Caiyun said loudly: "Princess, Princess!"
Zhu Qingyi called out softly: "Caiyun, open the door."
Caiyun had no choice but to open the door to the outer room. As soon as the door opened, a group of people rushed in. Lanterns and torches flickered, illuminating the room with swaying light and shadow, creating chaos.
Sun Jingwen stepped towards the bead curtain door of the inner room. Caiyun turned around and blocked the door of the inner room, saying loudly: "Sun Jingwen, the princess has gone to bed, please don't break in."
Sun Jingwen looked inside, but did not dare to break in. He said in a deep voice: "Princess, Sun has come to make trouble, and please forgive me. On the order of the prince, we will search all parts of Prince Qing's mansion and capture the assassin. Don’t blame the princess if you offend me.”
Zhu Qingyi said in a deep voice: "Sun Jingwen, why did your search for the assassin lead to my room? This is unreasonable."
Sun Jingwen chuckled and said: "Princess, to tell you the truth, Jingwen wants to search the princess's place. Because, according to reliable information, the princess is suspected of hiding the secret agents and assassins sent by the imperial court."
Zhu Qingyi sneered and said: "Sun Jingwen, if you want to be rude, just say so. There is no need to use such ridiculous reasons as excuses."
Sun Jingwen laughed and said: "Princess, Princess, Sun trusts you very much. Today, the princess said she wanted to go out, so Sun risked being reprimanded by the prince to let you go. Sun is sincere to the princess.
Sincere love and flattery. But
, you actually deceived me, harboring craftsmen and assassins around me. I, Sun Jingwen, hate others who deceive me the most. You took advantage of Sun’s affection for you and betrayed the prince. Sun is really heartbroken and angry. You treated me like this.
How can you bear it?"
Zhu Qingyi scolded in a cold voice: "Sun Jingwen, you must have evidence for what you say. How can I harbor an assassin in Prince Qing's palace? This is nonsense."
Sun Jingwen sneered and said: "The princess still wants to be tough. Where is the maid named Xiaoling next to you? Hand her over. I guess she will be hiding in your room. Haha, I almost got deceived by you."
Zhu Qingyi said coldly: "What's wrong with Guan Xiaoling?"
Sun Jingwen said angrily: "I still want to quibble. Someone, bring Mrs. Wu up."
Two guards pushed an old woman in from the outside. The old woman stood there with a sad face and hands hanging down, shivering.
"Mr. Wu, tell your princess what you told us again." Sun Jingwen shouted coldly.
That Mrs. Wu was a rough lady. She usually swept the floor in the yard, watered the flowers, and moved things around.
Caiyun frowned and glared at Mrs. Wu: "Mother Wu, what did you tell them? Don't talk nonsense."
Mrs. Wu muttered: "I, I..."
Zhu Qingyi's voice came: "Let her say it. Just find a servant to frame us."
Sun Jingwen said sharply to Mrs. Wu: "You still don't want to say anything?"
The Mrs. Wu gritted her teeth and bowed: "Miss Caiyun, Princess, don't blame me, I can't help it. My son is suffering from tuberculosis and I need money for medical treatment. Mr. Sun promised to give me money for my son's medical treatment..."
"What are you talking about? Say it quickly." Sun Jingwen shouted.
Mrs. Wu nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes. Miss Caiyun came to say hello this morning and told us not to go near the princess's house upstairs. I felt strange. When I came up to wipe the floor, I took a sneak peek outside and saw an unknown person.
The maid swayed at the door for a moment. Later, the princess took her and Caiyun
The girl went out. I hid aside and took a look. She was not from our yard at all. She came out of nowhere. Mr. Sun had said in private before that if we reported any abnormality to him, we would be rewarded heavily.
.I will go and report it. Princess, don’t blame me, there is nothing I can do.”
There was silence in the room.
Sun Jingwen chuckled and said: "Princess, did you hear it clearly? Who is that person named Xiaoling? If he is not someone around you, where did he come from? You tried so hard to go out today, and why?
What kind of thing? I've noticed something wrong with that woman for a long time. Be obedient.
Hand her over. At this time, there is an unidentified person next to you. Who is it if he is not an assassin? Besides, when I think about it now, Xiaoling is basically a man disguised as a woman. He is so tall and speaks in such a rough voice. Why?
Could it be a woman? You almost deceived me."
