Shangguan Wan Ning wrote down the prescription, secretly returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to prepare many daily necessities, then went to the drug store to grab all the medicine, and delivered it to the Sun family's old house in the afternoon.
Sun Jinyao woke up once, ate something and went back to sleep.
Shangguan Wan Ning helped take care of her until it was time to hold the lantern, and then she went back with a heavy heart.
She walked through Chengnan Street and saw a group of officers and soldiers running towards the Sun family's old house, and she couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart.
Could it be that Sun Jinyao's hiding place was discovered?
Shouldn't it?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Shangguan Wan Ning's mind, and she turned around and took a path back.
She always thought that Sun Jinyao's identity had not been discovered, but she probably underestimated Xiao Zhenting's IQ.
In any case, Xiao Zhenting and Sun Jinyao are partners who grew up together, and they were very familiar with each other.
Perhaps, with just one movement, one look, or one move, Xiao Zhenting can recognize Sun Jinyao.
How could she be so careless.
"Huh? Girl, why are you back?" Seeing Shangguan Wan Ning running out of breath, Lu Xiangzi realized that the situation had changed. "Is it..."
"Don't ask, hurry up, take Mr. Sun with you, we'll leave right away."
Lu Xiangzi didn't ask any questions, picked up the unconscious Sun Jinyao and ran away with Shangguan Wan Ning.
Shangguan Wan Ning originally wanted to take them back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by taking a small path to hide temporarily, but when she ran out of the alley, she realized that the road ahead was blocked by officers and soldiers.
"This is bad." Shangguan Wan Ning was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead.
There is no way out, and there are pursuers behind them. Wherever they are hiding now, they will be discovered sooner or later.
Sun Jinyao opened his eyes in a daze, saw Shangguan Wan Ning's anxious profile, and said weakly: "Leave me alone...let me down...Old monster, take Miss Shangguan and leave."
"Do you think I want to take care of you? I can't run away anymore, right?" Lu Xiangzi said harshly.
Shangguan Wan Ning looked at the surrounding environment, gritted her teeth and said, "Follow me."
The three of them walked through the alley and arrived at the back door of a large house.
Shangguan Wanning didn't care about the dirt, so she found two broken baskets from the garbage pile and let Lu Xiangzi and Sun Jinyao hide in them.
"Wait for me here, don't make a sound."
After Shangguan Wan Ning gave her instructions, she went to knock on the door.
Not long after, a servant opened the door. Shangguan Wan Ning said a few words to him and followed him in.
About half a cup of tea later, two guards came to welcome Lu Xiangzi and Sun Jinyao in and put them in the guest room to rest.
"You girl, you are getting more and more courageous. You dare to harbor the assassin who assassinated the second prince? Are you not afraid of losing your head?"
Zheng Binghong was woken up in the middle of the night and was startled when he saw his niece in a panic. After figuring out the whole story, he took Sun Jinyao in, but he still couldn't help but blame her.
"Auntie, look, I'm already very scared myself, but uncle is still so fierce."
Shangguan Wan Ning leaned close to the eldest princess and pulled her sleeves with tears in her eyes.
The eldest princess didn't take this matter as a big deal. No matter how much the government searched, they couldn't find her.
"Ms. Gong, don't talk about Ning'er. It's just a trivial matter. It will be fine after a few days." Seeing that Zheng Binghong was still angry, the eldest princess turned to Shangguan Wan Ning and said, "Your uncle is doing this for your own good."
, don’t be so willful next time.”
"Thank you, auntie. You can rest, I'm leaving."
"Hey, why are you running away? I'll take you back." Zheng Binghong chased after him and sighed helplessly, "Lest you cause trouble again."
Shangguan Wanning knew that Zheng Binghong was no longer angry, so she walked around behind him and jumped up like she did when she was a child, hanging on Zheng Binghong's back.
Zheng Binghong sent Shangguan Wanning back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as he walked to the door, he noticed a strange smell.
The officers and soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion held their hands at the door. Shangguan Wan Ning instinctively felt guilty and hid behind Zheng Binghong.
"See you, Prince Consort." The headman of Jingzhao Mansion came up to greet him and gave Shangguan Wan Ning a meaningful look.
Zheng Binghong protected Shangguan Wanning and walked in. In the hall, Shangguan Yue and Jingzhao Fuyin were drinking tea and chatting.
"Dad." Shangguan Wan Ning walked over obediently.
When the governor of Jingzhao saw Zheng Binghong, he quickly stood up and bowed his hands.
"Master Fu Yin is still in the Prime Minister's Mansion so late. He is really busy with official business." Zheng Binghong said with a smile.
The governor of Jingzhao waved his hands helplessly. "Prince-in-law, I was just talking to the prime minister, but I have no choice but to disturb you. The second prince was assassinated last night. Since this matter has fallen into the hands of the prime minister, I
Here, we have no choice but to investigate with all our strength."
"According to the second prince, he recognized the assassin as Sun Jinyao, the son of the former Grand Tutor Sun. The official followed this clue and found the Sun family's old house. As expected, there were signs that someone had been there. The government officials arrived
At that time, even the water in the cup was warm. And..."
Jingzhao Prefecture Yin looked at Shangguan Wan Ning out of the corner of his eye, picked up a handkerchief from the table, and said, "I picked this up in the house."
Shangguan Wan Ning looked at it and couldn't help being startled.
This is her handkerchief, with the word "Ning" embroidered on it.
"Xia Guan went to the silk and satin shop to check. This kind of fabric is extremely precious. It was shipped from Suzhou and made into handkerchiefs for only twenty yuan in the whole capital. They are all customized by the ladies and have their names embroidered on them. They are unique."
"There is nothing I can do. I have to come over and ask as usual." Jingzhao Prefecture Yin turned his attention to Shangguan Wan Ning, "Miss Shangguan, may I ask, why is your handkerchief in the Sun family's old house?"
The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on Shangguan Wan Ning.
The crime of harboring an assassin is no small matter.
Shangguan Wan Ning smiled sweetly and said calmly: "The governor doesn't know something. When I went out today, all my belongings were stolen. As a result, I didn't have any money to pay the bill at the teahouse. No, that's why my uncle asked me
Go pick me up and take me back."
This reason is too coincidental and a bit far-fetched. But Jingzhao Prefect also couldn't find any flaws.
Even if you go to verify it, it will take time.
"Master Fu Yin, please investigate as soon as possible and find other things for me. Otherwise, I'm afraid the same misunderstanding will happen again."
The Jingzhao Prefecture Yin looked at Shangguan Wan Ning with a more profound gaze.
"Okay, I'll take my leave then."
After that, he led the government officials and left.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Shangguan Yue asked with a serious look on his face.
Shangguan Wan Ning didn't hide anything, she just said everything.
"You are getting more and more outrageous. You are making nonsense and dragging your uncle and the eldest princess into the water. Let me see how you clean up this mess."
"Okay, it's getting late, I'll take care of the next thing." It's time for Zheng Binghong to forge evidence for Shangguan Wan Ning, "Ning'er, go back to your room and go to bed."
