"My lady is so delicate. It's too late to be lustful today. Let so many of you men check her carriages. Wouldn't it be laughed at if you spread it?"
Lu Tong pouted her mouth, patted the driver on the back, and ordered: "Don't pay attention, go."
The coachman was about to raise the whip, but the guard leader shook his body in front of the carriage, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth was a bit ferocious.
"Since you don't want to toast, don't blame us for being rude."
Seeing that the guard was about to act forcefully, Mu Jingrui's eyes flashed, and a sharp light ray was leaping out of the carriage, but Shangguan Wanning held it down.
Shangguan Wanning shook her head slightly and whispered: "Don't worry, don't move."
As soon as he finished speaking, a scream from the guard leader came from outside the carriage.
Zheng Binghong shook the guard leader with a palm and coldly glanced at the people holding the torch.
"The people from the Taifu Mansion are quite capable. If you want to search the carriage, you Taifu Sun will come and search it yourself."
The leader of the guard endured the severe pain in his chest and barely supported himself with a steel knife. He asked, "What are you? How dare you speak wildly?"
"Hmph." Zheng Binghong snorted heavily, turned his head and said to the coachman, "Send the young lady back."
With the support of a dignified general, he walked through the surrounding guards in a swagger.
Zheng Binghong was a little worried, and gave a wink with his subordinates who were following him, asking them to follow him secretly.
He walked to the head of the guards, his face darkened, and he said, "If you don't accept it, let the Grand Tutor Sun come to the Yiyong Marquis' Mansion, my father and I will naturally give him an explanation."
After saying that, he left, leaving the guard leader in a daze.
He never expected that the person standing in front of him was the mansion of the Yiyong Hou. His back felt cold and he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
In the carriage, Shangguan Wanning temporarily bandaged Mu Jingrui with her handkerchief.
"Looking at your night outfit, are you going to the Grand Tutor Sun's mansion?"
Mu Jingrui nodded silently.
He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. The night was lonely and the streets were empty.
"It's late at night, it's inconvenient for me to stay in your carriage. I'm leaving."
"If you go out now, I'm afraid you're really causing trouble for me." Shangguan Wanning pointed outside the carriage and said, "If I'm not wrong, my uncle must have sent secret guards to escort me. If they see it, they will see it.
You really can't explain it clearly when you get out of the carriage."
"Then..." Mu Jingrui lowered his eyelids, as if he was a little hesitant.
"What are you afraid of? Can I still eat you?" Shangguan Wanning glared at Mu Jingrui, "Don't worry, when you return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the secret guard will withdraw. With your martial arts, I want to
It’s not difficult to leave.”
Mu Jingrui had no choice but to give up the idea just now.
Because Lu Tong was present, the two of them did not speak until the carriage was parked in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Shangguan Wanning sent the coachman and ordered Lu Tong to go to her room to get the golden sore medicine. Then he asked seriously: "What happened? It's too risky to visit the Taifu Mansion at night."
"Of course... there is a reason to go."
Mu Jingrui described the current situation, and Shangguan Wanning couldn't help but frown deeply.
I used to be just immersed in my love world and had no idea that the battle outside would be so cruel.
If the crown prince is defeated by Xiao Zhenting at this time, wouldn’t the Shangguan family bend to him in the future?
Thinking of the humiliation suffered in his previous life, Shangguan Wanning was really unwilling to accept it.
"I really should leave..."
"Will you go to the Taifu Mansion again?" Shangguan Wanning looked down at the wound on Mu Jingrui's body, feeling a little distressed.
"That list must be obtained, otherwise it will have a great impact on His Royal Highness."
"But don't forget that Grand Tutor Sun has already seen the list. Even if you take back the evidence of the salt and iron transport envoy, those on the list will be equivalent to having the handle in Grand Tutor Sun's hands. With his position in the court, even if it is considered
In other ways, the same effect can be achieved."
Mu Jingrui carefully considered Shangguan Wanning's words.
It makes sense indeed.
"So, we can solve it in another way."
Mu Jingrui was stunned and looked at Shangguan Wanning with a calm gaze.
This girl... seems to be different from his impression.
Shangguan Wanning approached Mu Jingrui's ear and whispered a few softly.
Mu Jingrui's face changed slightly.
"Wouldn't this be too risky?"
"You can discuss with His Highness the Crown Prince after you go back. If there is a better method, you can do this method without it."
Mu Jingrui was silent for a long time, but in the end he did not express his opinion. He reminded him: "No matter what he wants to do in the end, it is all about His Royal Highness and the Crown Prince. No matter what, don't interfere. It's important. I'm afraid that Grand Tutor Sun will kill someone to silence him.
”
Shangguan Wanning nodded gently.
Mu Jingrui jumped out of the carriage and prepared to climb over the wall and leave.
“Hey…”
Shangguan Wanning's soft cry came from behind him. He turned around and met Shangguan Wanning's concerned and clear eyes.
"You should be careful...Don't touch water in the wound..."
An inexplicable warmth surged in Mu Jingrui's heart.
The afternoon sun was lazy and warm. Concubine Liu looked at her listless son in front of her and sighed with regret.
"What's wrong with you recently? You always look sick. If the emperor sees it, he will probably feel dissatisfied."
Facing her mother's blame, Xiao Zhenting could only force himself to cheer up and restrain his fatigue.
He had never understood why he had spent so much effort to make Shangguan Wanning fall in love with him, so why did it change again for no reason?
"Qi Bao, I just picked up a letter at the door saying that I wanted the Queen to open it myself. Do you want to see it?" The eunuch general came in to report.
Concubine Liu frowned.
If it was just an ordinary letter, the eunuch general manager would not be able to alarm her.
"Take it to my palace and take a look."
Concubine Liu took the letter, and the handwriting on it made her heart slightly stunned.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay... it's like a sent by an old friend." Concubine Liu didn't want Xiao Zhenting to be involved. "I feel a little tired and want to go back to the bedroom and sleep for a while. You go back."
Xiao Zhenting felt that his mother's expression was a little strange, but he didn't dare to ask questions, so he left after the salute.
Concubine Liu couldn't wait to open the letter, and her face suddenly changed after reading it.
She hurriedly burned the letter and reminded: "If you have any letters sent, don't be publicized."
At night, Concubine Liu sent off all the palace maids and eunuchs, and only asked the eunuchs who were close to him to accompany him, changed into black clothes and cloaks, covering most of his body, and hurried to the cold palace.
