Chapter 162: Night Attack
After Jing Shumu saw Su Muling leave, she sat on Guanyuntai for a long time, and she didn't stand up until the girl Qing'er urged her.
"Where's the umbrella?"
Jingshu found that it was raining lightly all around, but her head was covered by an umbrella, and Xiaoqing and her accompanying grandmother were drenched in the rain.
"It was sent by Prince and Princess Ning. Miss, let's go back. ”
Princess Ning? Is she so kind? Jing Shu clenched her fists.
Back in the yard, Mama had just set up the meal, looking at the two vegetarian dishes and a few steamed buns on the table, Jingshu had no appetite at all. She ate a few bites of steamed buns, took a bite of food and put down her chopsticks.
"Is there any news from the person sent to spy on Prince Ning yesterday?"
"Not yet." Qing'er replied while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
"Go and ask." Quiet Shu's brow furrowed.
People have been gone for a day and there is no news, I am afraid that I will run somewhere to be lazy.
"Yes."
The girl took down the meal and lay quietly on the bed, staring out the window and recalling the past events of her previous life......
Su Muling guessed correctly, Jing Shu is a reborn person.
In the autumn of the previous life, Su Muling was still the second young lady of the Song family. Because he refused to hand over the navigation chart of the Su family's fortune, Su Muling was broken by Song Mingjie and gouged out his eyes when he was still breathing, King Ping usurped the throne and successfully became the emperor and changed his name to Shunren.
The former emperor Xiao He and several princes, only the three princes escaped from the secret passage in the palace, and the rest were captured by King Ping and imprisoned in the palace dungeon, where they were tortured and abused. Several young princes couldn't stand the torture and died one after another not long after, leaving only the second prince and the emperor half-dead.
The harem concubines saw that the general trend was gone, and a white silk with a strong temperament turned out to be herself. There are those who are afraid of death, and those who are sold and survive are not like people and ghosts.
Jing Haihou has always been a pro-emperor faction before. In order to save the lives of his family, he was forced to attach himself to King Ping. and at the request of the prince of Ping, he sent Jing Shu to Xiao Wenchen, who has become the crown prince, as a side concubine.
King Ping ascended the throne, and many ministers saw the wind and made the rudder submit to him. There are also those who are loyal to the former emperor, and would rather resign and return to their hometowns than turn their backs on the lord to seek glory.
In order to establish his prestige, King Ping vigorously suppressed his former ministers and rewarded his cronies in a big way. Under the military suppression of King Ping, the imperial court temporarily stabilized.
Less than a year after King Ping became the emperor, Xiao Wenxuan, who had been living abroad, came back. Not only did he disobey the rule of the new emperor, but he also joined forces with Di Guo to use the new emperor to pay homage to him, and he sent troops into the city and captured the new emperor alive.
Xiao Wenxuan rescued the emperor Xiao He and the second prince, at this time the emperor was already tortured to death, Xiao Wenxuan invited out his master Nangong Yi, and it was difficult for the emperor to recover his previous health.
The emperor was sick in bed, and the second prince wanted to take the opportunity to be the emperor, but was assassinated by the hidden third prince.
The third prince's leg injury has long been healed, and in order not to attract attention, he endured the humiliation of being a paralyzed man for more than ten years.
The emperor knew that the third prince had killed the second prince, and in a fit of anger, he deposed the third prince and established Xiao Wenxuan as the crown prince.
And Jing Shu, who married Xiao Wenchen, was also arrested because of this. With all the ladies of the new queen's palace, they were exiled to a bitter cold place, doing hard labor every day, and they were subjected to inhuman treatment.
A few years later, Quiet Shu, who had been tortured to the point that she had lost her human form, found a place where no one was and hanged herself.
Jingshu was reborn, and she cherished this opportunity. She rejected all the blind dates arranged for her by Jing Haihou, only for Xiao Wenxuan.
She suffered a lot in the previous life, and in this life she wants to earn the best future for herself.
Unfortunately, things seem to have been different from the start.
The wife of the second son of Guangping Bofu changed from Su Muling in the previous life to Su Wanqing.
Xiao Wenxuan, who was alone in the previous life, brought back Su Muling, who was originally Mrs. Song Mingjie, when he came back from being hunted down in this life.
There was also the snow disaster the year before last and the plague last year, obviously there was no Su Muling before, but now Su Muling is everywhere.
The most suspicious thing is that King Ping rebelled, Xiao Wenxuan was also present, and he unexpectedly turned things around. The emperor was saved, the prince was fine, the identity of Xiao Wenxuan's illegitimate son was exposed, and everything was different from the original.
Jing Shu pondered for a long time and didn't know why, but she knew too many royal secrets after a lifetime, and she knew that the intrigue between the second prince and the third prince would sooner or later lose both sides, and only Xiao Wenxuan, who did not fight or grab, was the final winner.
So Jing Shu put aside her face and self-esteem, and begged Jing Haihou to go to the emperor to ask for the position of Prince Ning's side concubine for her, and did everything possible to paste Xiao Wenxuan. Only in this way, on the day Xiao Wenxuan became emperor, can she occupy a place in the harem and have the opportunity to become the phoenix among people!
……
The Second Prince's Mansion, cronies wait for Donghai to report:
“…… The subordinates sent people to search the vicinity for a few times, and finally found a very hidden cave, which contained many messy footprints, which the subordinates thought were left by the people who rescued the prince of Di Guo. ”
"Waste, so many days, so many people, I can't even catch a single injured person."
The second prince was angry and threw down a cup, and the cup fell to the ground and shattered beside Hou Donghai, and several fragments splashed and cut Hou Donghai's cheek. Blood, spilling out of the skin.
"The subordinates are incompetent. The subordinates also have a report. ”
"Say."
The second prince suppressed his anger.
"Prince Ning took the princess to live in Fule Temple, and the emperor sent dozens of royal forest troops to protect him, and his subordinates were suspicious of ......"
Hou Donghai secretly raised his eyes to look at the second prince, and saw him staring at him with a gloomy face, so he hurriedly lowered his head and continued: "The subordinates suspect that the prince of Di Guo has been rescued by Prince Ning and is hiding in Fule Temple. ”
"Are you sure?"
"Prince Ning suddenly decided to go to Fule Temple to live on the second day of Prince Diguo's accident, and asked the emperor for heavy troops to guard it secretly, and there are ......" Hou Donghai took a step forward with the second prince: "The desireless master of Fule Temple has been in and out of Prince Ning's residence many times. ”
When the second prince heard this, the gloom on his face dissipated, he stood up and paced to the window. Master Desireless frequently appears at Xiao Wenxuan's residence......
"You take a few good people to explore tonight, and make sure you find out who lives inside."
"Yes!"
……
At midnight, the rain was still falling, and there was no sign of stopping.
A team of black-clothed people sneaked into Fule Temple by moonlight and went straight to the courtyard where Xiao Wenxuan was.
A secret post set up by Bai Yu in the temple discovered the situation, and a cloud-piercing arrow broke through the air, and a sharp sound woke up the dreamer.
Dozens of heroic Imperial Forest soldiers rushed forward and surrounded the dozen or so black-clothed men who were trying to approach Xiao Wenxuan's courtyard.
The martial arts of the people who came were first-class, and they were not afraid of the might of the Royal Forest Army at all.
At this time, from the mountain behind Fule Temple, a team of people and horses quietly climbed up, taking advantage of Xiao Wenxuan's troops to move aside, and forcibly broke into the courtyard.
Fang Ping, Li Feng, Wuying, and the few Imperial Forest Soldiers left behind by Bai Yu were already waiting here with swords in hand.
Shadowless held the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "What person? Dare to break into Prince Ning's residence at night! ”
One of the people who came replied in a low voice: "We are just here to find someone, Prince Wangning will give it a convenience." ”
"Presumptuous, how can you search the prince's residence casually? Hurry up and get out of the way, otherwise, there will be no return! The Shadowless Sword pointed at the person and scolded loudly.
"Is there a back? Just a few of you? The person who came snorted coldly, and didn't pay attention to a few of them at all.
I saw him wave his hand and greet everyone behind him: "Brothers, get on!" ”
After speaking, the sword flashed, and dozens of people rushed towards the shadowless few.
For a moment, swords met in the courtyard, and figures flickered. Shadowless resisted the attack of the man in black with all his might, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
"You guys, search for me."
The leading man in black saw that he was entangled by the people he brought, and ordered the rest of the people to disperse and search the house.
While resisting the attack of the man in black, the shadowless few gathered towards the doors of the two rooms behind them.
The man in black searched around, but did not find Delang, and finally focused his eyes on the two doorways behind the shadowless people. One of these two rooms was Su Muling's room. There was no light in the house, only the faint light of the charcoal stove.
The pomegranate protected Su Muling, who had just gotten up from the bed, against the corner. The two were wearing jackets and had messy hair.
Xiao Wenxuan was calm and calm, with a soft sword at his waist, blocking in front of them and staring at the movement outside the house.
On a rainy night, figures flickered, swords collided, accompanied by a few screams from time to time.
"Youan!" Su Muling was a little worried, and she pulled Xiao Wenxuan's sleeve.
