In a small house in Ming Fei's Mansion, a shadow sneaked into Homurako's residence.
When the ghostly figure looked up, it was the elegant face of the 'Hidden Scholar'.
"Master, there is news from the palace that the route map for the 'south patrol' that you placed in the upper study has been rubbed by someone. It is estimated that the 'south patrol' route has been exposed."
Homura lazily cut the wick with the scissors: "I have to protect my substitute all the way to the south, and don't let anyone find anything unusual, understand?"
He left the capital and went to Northeastern Xinjiang to investigate the case and monitor her and the King of Qin. He always had to have an excuse, and the southern tour was a good reason.
But unexpectedly, someone actually wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate him on his 'southern tour'?
"This is a good opportunity... to expose those fools who dare to be disloyal to Dongchang and me, so that we can eradicate them in one fell swoop. They are too stupid and do not deserve to live!"
The scissors in Homurako's hand cut fiercely, and the dancing candlelight suddenly became a little brighter.
"Yes, Master!" The 'hidden scholar' said respectfully with his fists clasped.
He curved the corners of his crimson lips with satisfaction, then glanced at the face of the 'hidden scholar': "You must keep your identity as the 'hidden scholar' and don't reveal your faults!"
The hidden scholar nodded and quietly retreated.
Early on the next morning, at dawn, two carriages and more than twenty red-blooded elite guards set off on horseback from the entrance of Concubine Ming's Mansion to meet at the gate of Prince Qin's Mansion.
After arriving at the gate of Prince Qin's Mansion and waiting for a while, Ming Lanruo saw Shangguan Hongye, dressed in smart clothes, leading people out.
The woman who followed him closest was Zhou Xiangyun, who had changed into a palace dress embroidered with golden silk and chrysanthemums, and wore a phoenix hairpin, clearly showing her identity as a concubine.
Ming Lanruo got out of the car and greeted Shangguan Hongye slightly according to the rules: "Lanruo has met the prince."
She never called herself a concubine. Something strange flashed in Shangguan Hongye's eyes, but he didn't show it on his face. He only looked at the carriage behind her solemnly.
When Zhou Xiangyun saw her, he immediately saluted her respectfully: "I'm here to see you, Concubine Ming."
Ming Lanruo acted resolutely, and her ability to get rid of Zhou Changle as soon as she said he would get rid of Zhou Changle made her feel palpitated and afraid.
What's more, there is no longer a principal concubine in Prince Qin's palace. Ming Lanruo has the highest status now and she is a side concubine, so she must be respectful!
Minglanruo's unparalleled beauty had a faint smile on her face, and she gave Zhou Xiangyun a virtual support: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and my sister is already Zhou Xiangyun's concubine."
Zhou Xiangyun knew very well that the Concubine Ming was quite satisfied with her performance. She breathed a sigh of relief, bowed her head and said respectfully: "This is because of the love of the prince and Concubine Ming."
"Xiangyun is just a concubine. She has never had any problems with you, so there is no need to target her." Shangguan Hongye suddenly interrupted their conversation.
These days, Zhou Xiangyun is smart and gentle, and has taken good care of the backyard. He is still very satisfied, and is worried that Minglanruo will deal with Zhou Xiangyun like he dealt with Zhou Changle.
Ming Lanruo said coldly: "Your Majesty, you are too worried. I will not offend others unless they offend me. I never target innocent people."
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Hongye just snorted and continued to look at the mahogany carriage behind her: "This carriage is quite big and comfortable enough."
Ming Lanruo whispered: "This is the carriage sent by the Nine Thousand Years Old Man. If the prince wants to ride with me, please do so."
Not only was the carriage large enough, it was also strong and light, and... it had been specially treated to make it difficult to catch fire and invulnerable to swords.
Cang Qiao, as the governor of the East Factory, has experienced too many assassinations, and he is also someone who enjoys things, so the carriage sent is naturally the best in terms of safety and comfort.
However, if Shangguan Hongye and Cang Qiao were unable to deal with the situation, he would definitely not be willing to get on the carriage.
Shangguan Hongye narrowed his eyes and suddenly said: "Okay!"
With that said, he got on the carriage directly.
Ming Lanruo was stunned for a moment: "..."
This was beyond her expectation. Originally, she had planned to go in separate carriages with Guan Hongye.
So, she hid in the car...uh...no...
"Who is he? What are you hiding here?!" Shangguan Hongye lifted the curtain and looked at the beautiful young man sitting in the car making tea with an unhappy expression.
Ming Lanruo was silent for a moment: "Then what...Xiao Yanzi, let's meet His Highness the King of Qin."
Homurako's fair face flashed with gloom.
He raised his slightly tapering chin and nodded perfunctorily towards Shangguan Hongye: "Xiaoyanzi has met His Highness King Qin."
Shangguan Hongye suddenly became angry when he saw his contemptuous attitude, but he didn't speak yet.
Xiao Yanzi looked at Ming Lanruo with a sinister look: "Ming Fei, Master Chitose said that this car is prepared for you alone, and Xiao Yanzi only serves you."
Didn't she say that Shangguan Hongye wouldn't take the car he sent?
As a result, the adulterer Shangguan Hongye dared to sit on it!
He originally planned this journey if his body really recovered completely. This chapter has been completed!
