After returning to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, Xiao Hong stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands and silently looked at the dark night sky, although it was summer, but due to the coastal waters of Shuguo, the wind was a little strong at night, so it would be a little cool.

At this time, Xiao Hong felt cold from head to toe.

Thinking of what Liu had told him earlier, he was very uneasy.

In the past six months, Ding An has lost his temper twice, is it because he has grown up and slowly realized the embarrassment of his identity? Although Xiao Hong has only seen him three times since he ruthlessly sent Ding An away, and all of them were when he was young, in the past few years, although sometimes the Liu family would try to mobilize him to see Ding An, he flatly refused. In his eyes, that child had ceased to be his own child since the day he sent him away, and now the child began to show emotions inexplicably, which was a warning of danger in Xiao Hong's eyes.

The 18th 'Ninety-Five' Tournament will be held in four months, and the contestants from all over the world will gather here, and these contestants will all be elites of their respective countries.

Xiao Hong beckoned Gonggong Zhang to come forward and said, "Tomorrow, we will send twelve additional guards and two palace maids to the Mid-Levels Plum Garden, and let these two palace maids take care of Ding An's diet and daily life." Also," Xiao Hong said in a low voice, "let these two palace maids keep an eye on him, and notify me as soon as he has any changes." ”

Father-in-law Zhang immediately responded "yes" and walked out quickly.

Xiao Hong looked at the dark night and took a deep breath before turning around and entering the bedroom.

At this time, outside the residence of the second prince Xiao Diyuan, Ding Cong hurriedly came in and said to Xiao Diyuan: "Second Highness, Ding An made a big fuss today and stabbed his adoptive father. ”

Xiao Diyuan frowned slightly, put down the brush and looked at him, "What happened later?"

Ding Cong leaned close to Xiao Diyuan's ear and whispered: "The queen also went today, Ding An originally wanted to stab the queen with a sword, but Ding's father suddenly stepped forward to stop him, so he received a sword on her behalf." ”

Although Xiao Diyuan had never told Ding Cong about Ding An's identity, Ding Cong had already guessed a rough idea from Ding An's appearance, and this big discovery made him panic, and he couldn't help but worry about Xiao Diyuan.

If someone finds evidence to prove that Xiao Diyuan is not Xiao Dikai's biological brother, then Xiao Diyuan's prospects are worrying, and it is very likely that an invisible battle will be launched in the palace, and the situation at that time will not be under the control of the civil and military officials and ordinary people.

However, what made Ding Cong curious was Xiao Diyuan's attitude, the latter never seemed to show panic, which somewhat eliminated some of the panic and nervousness in Ding Cong's heart, but he has received a lot of care from Xiao Diyuan in the past few years with Xiao Diyuan, and admires Xiao Diyuan's character and talent, so he always hopes that Xiao Diyuan can be safe.

After listening to Ding Cong's report, Xiao Diyuan closed his eyes and thought about it, and said, "Send three people to ambush near the plum garden in the middle of the mountain, and keep an eye on the movements over there at any time." Also, tell these three people - the most important thing is to protect Ding An's life. ”

"Yes. ”

Ding Cong was about to leave when a man walked in quickly, and Ding Cong saw that it was the person sent by Xiao Diyuan to perform the task in the small commodity market in Dongcheng District, and he hurriedly retreated.

The person who came reported to Xiao Diyuan: "Your Highness, my subordinates saw that batch of goods in a trading house called 'Xinglong Commercial Bank'. ”

Xiao Diyuan asked, "Who is the boss of the firm?"

"The surname is Tang, Mingchen, and he is in his fifties. The visitor replied.

Xiao Diyuan handed him a small bag of silver and said with a smile: "Okay, continue to ambush and observe around there, and once you see that they have new goods, you will chat with the supplier, and at the same time immediately send someone to inform me." ”

"Yes. The man took the money and walked quickly.

Xiao Diyuan picked up the pen again and continued to practice calligraphy, without the slightest panic in his expression.

Ding Cong sent three people to monitor near the plum garden in the middle of the mountain as instructed, and then came back to resume his life, at this time Xiao Diyuan had already laid down to rest, and there was only a small lamp like a bean in the bedroom. He had already lowered the curtain, so Ding Cong didn't know if he was asleep or not, so he had to cautiously step forward and report: "Second Highness, the slave who ordered you has explained it." ”

With that, he waited for the people inside to respond.

However, he waited for a while and didn't hear a response from the people inside, so he hurriedly called in a low voice: "Second Highness." ”

Xiao Diyuan woke up from his deep sleep and replied, "Well, you can say it." ”

Ding Cong took a few steps forward and said, "Second Highness, the slave you ordered has been explained." ”

"Okay, you go have lunch first. ”

"Yes. ”

This morning, before dawn, Zhou Rong set off with simple luggage and dry food to the Mid-Levels Plum Garden, because he had been there once before, so he was familiar with it all the way, and soon arrived at the foot of the Mid-Mountain Plum Garden, he was about to slowly go to the direction of the Plum Garden along the grass next to the path when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves not far away, and hurriedly hid his body in the grass.

The four horses were also coming this way, and the riders were dressed in all their strong suits, but when they came to the foot of the hill they stopped at once, and three of them jumped off their horses, and gave their reins to the man who could not dismount, and the man took control of his mount with one hand and pulled the reins of the three horses tightly with the other, and quickly turned back the way he came.

The three sides who dismounted quickly went in the direction of the plum garden.

These three people were the people sent by Xiao Diyuan to monitor the movements of the plum garden.

Seeing this, Zhou Rong also hurriedly followed along the grass.

When they arrived not far from the gate of the Plum Garden, the three soldiers climbed up to the big tree in three ways, and the surroundings suddenly seemed as if nothing had happened.

Could it be that they are also here to spy on Plum Garden? Who are they? Zhou Rong couldn't help but secretly wonder.

At this time, Zhou Rong suddenly felt a knife-like pain in the ankle of his right foot, and looked down to see that a small flower snake was biting on his ankle.

With limited experience, Zhou Rong knew that this snake was poisonous, and if he didn't seek medical attention in time after being bitten by it, he was likely to die.

However, the sound of him tearing his sleeves was heard by the man who was hiding in a tree not far away, and the man immediately rushed in the direction where he was.

Saying that it was too late, Zhou Rong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, I am a farmer who lives not far from the bottom of the mountain, and I came up to the mountain today to collect firewood, but unfortunately I was bitten by a poisonous snake, and I ask my lord to save my life." ”
