Chapter XXVII
"You're finally back, scared the hell out of me, where have you been?" Xue Caiyi looked at Shangguan Mu, who was sent by the guards, and asked eagerly.
"I just went to the hut, don't worry so much, what's going on outside?" Shangguan Mu comforted.
"You don't know? I heard that there was an assassin in my uncle's room, and the assassin's original goal was to assassinate my uncle, and at a critical moment, my uncle's newly sealed Shen Guifei blocked a knife for him, and now the accompanying imperial doctor is rescuing, life and death are uncertain, and my uncle ordered that the assassin must be found out, so it's still chaotic outside, you must not run around. ”
"Shen Guifei?" How is she? But didn't I just meet her? The more Shangguan Mu thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was too strange, could it be that this assassin incident was related to Tuoba Lin, but why did he do this, if the emperor of Xiqi died, there would be a period of turmoil in the country, and it was very likely that Beidu would unite with the other two countries to make a move against Xiqi, and at this time, as a proton, he would not bear the brunt? For such a complicated problem, Shangguan Mu's poor IQ couldn't think of the reason at all.
"Let's go and see what happened to Shen Guifei, shall we?" Shangguan Mu proposed to Xue Caiyi that she wanted to confirm whether the person just now was Shen Nisheng.
"Are you crazy? Now it's so chaotic outside, the assassins haven't been caught yet, and you may not be able to see Shen Guifei when you go out now, I've already sent Xianxiang out to find out the news, Danxiang went out to look for you, and I should be back in a while, let's check with them first, let's stay in the room. ”
Shangguan Mu felt that what Xue Caiyi said was more reasonable, now that the imperial doctor was rescuing, she might not be able to see Shen Guifei if she went, so it was better to send someone to investigate what the situation was.
I don't know how long it took to wait for the incense to come back, Shangguan Mu and Xue Caiyi hurriedly rushed over to ask about the situation, "What's going on outside now?" ”
"Princess, county lord, slave maid just went to inquire clearly, the assassin has been caught, it is said that he was taken down by the thirteen princes on the spot, but he committed suicide by poisoning at the same time as he was caught, and no clues were left."
"Then how is Shen Guifei's situation now?" Shangguan Mu really couldn't figure it out, could it be that he was dazzled just now.
"Shen Guifei is out of danger of her life, but she still needs to recuperate for a few days, so the emperor decreed that Guifei Niangniang should return to the palace tomorrow to recuperate, and she no longer has to follow the hunt." Xiang continued.
"Is there really no clue left? Can't you find anything at all? Xue Caiyi asked.
"This slave doesn't know, but the Thirteenth Prince and Lin Gongzi will have been stepping up patrols around the post station tonight, so the princess and the county lord can rest assured."
After the incense retreated, Xue Caiyi asked Shangguan Mu, "What's wrong with you?" I always think you're weird tonight. ”
"What's the matter, I'm just a little frightened," Shangguan Mu replied weakly.
"Aren't you Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and you are actually afraid of assassins? Haha," Xue Caiyi asked with some amusement.
"It's not that you don't know me, you usually talk nonsense, where is it like being in the palace when you go out of the palace," Besides, I was really a little frightened tonight, okay, Shangguan Mu thought with tears in his heart.
"As far as your virtue is concerned, it depends on what you will do when you get married in the future."
"Okay, don't make trouble, it's late, let's rest first." Shangguan Mu proposed.
Although what he said, after a few tosses tonight, Shangguan Mu was indeed completely sleepy, and Xue Caiyi also couldn't sleep, so the two chatted without a word, and before they knew it, the sky outside was already bright.
It wasn't until Su Luo, the personal maid of Xingxiang and Xue Caiyi, came in to serve the two of them to wash up that Shangguan Mu knew that it was already dawn, Shangguan Mu opened the window of the room, the fresh air in the early morning made her can't help but take a deep breath, the light cry of the bird, the neighing of the horse, let Shangguan Mu feel that the scenery in the wild is so beautiful, no wonder the ancients talked about seclusion or something at every turn, if this life is destined not to return to their own world, then in this world, find a paradise place, take the incense and danxiang to live in seclusion, isn't it beautiful?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Mu shook her head vigorously, how could she have such an idea, she must return to the original world, where her parents, relatives, friends, colleagues, everything is the reason for her to go back. What's more, even if she really can't go back, she may not be able to change Shangguan Mu's ending, the current Tuoba Lin hates her to death, and when the time comes, she should inevitably die in his hands, alas, Shangguan Mu sighed.
Xiang Xiang was a little speechless and looked at her princess leaning against the window and sighed, listening to the old lady in the palace say that people are easy to sigh when they get older, what is the situation of their own princess? Ever since he was in a coma for three days in the water, he has always liked to sigh, is it true that everyone who has walked through the Yama Hall is like this?
After everything was ready, the team set off again, Shangguan Mu looked at the neat and ready to go team, as if nothing had happened last night, worried that Shangguan Mu was not used to riding in the car like the day before, and asked Shangguan Mu to take a few more sips of the medicine bottle he took from the imperial doctor early in the morning, and made the mat in the carriage softer, so that Shangguan Mu was not so bumpy in the carriage. Shangguan Mu felt like an asthma patient, but when he thought of the feeling of motion sickness yesterday, he had no choice but to obediently listen to Xiangxiang's words.
