Chapter 61: Attack on a Rainy Night (1)
"The girl is so kind-hearted."
Kind-hearted?
How can it be?
She just couldn't help it.
Although Shizi is not here, she can't take care of Shen Yu, but she still has a backer.
Don't look at the four princes who are so angry that she blows her beard and stares at her all day long, if something really happens, the four princes will be the first to jump out to protect her.
No, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
The fourth prince swept in like a gust of wind, and he was followed by a mother-in-law, who held a tray in her hand, and a large pot of ginger soup in the tray, as well as a few worn-out earthen bowls.
"Sister Shen, Ayu, come over and drink ginger soup. If you get caught with the wind chill at this time, it's not a joke. ”
"Alas, it's still the Fourth Highness who is intimate, then thank you to the Fourth Highness." Shen Yu smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and quickly ran to take the tray from his mother-in-law and put it on the table of the Eight Immortals next to him.
She was in a good mood, and the fourth prince was in a better mood, sitting at the table with Erlang's legs crossed, his hands on the table, and starting to chat with her.
When Shen Wenjiang came out after changing his clothes, the two had already drunk a bowl of ginger soup each.
There was also a bowl of it, apparently for her.
Because of that glance at the gate, Shen Wenjiang always had doubts in his heart.
Seeing that the two of them had already drunk, his mood suddenly became nervous, and his eyes stared at the fourth prince for a moment, lest his complexion change.
"Sister Shen, what's wrong with you?" The fourth prince raised his hand and shook it in front of her eyes.
Shen Yu glanced at her, pouted and smiled: "Don't worry, there is no poison in this soup, I have already checked it." ”
"You know about poison?" Shen Wenjiang looked surprised.
Shen Yu smiled and said, "I understand a little." ”
Shen Wenjiang's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but think of the last time in the Mirage Garden, Hua Qing poisoned the soup, and then poisoned the prince in front of her.
The spy Shen Wen Jiang knows poison, but she, an impostor, doesn't know much.
The first time I got by.
But the second time, she didn't notice it at the time, and watched Shizi fall into her arms.
At that time, Hua Qing will be more suspicious of her.
Will she tell King Yi about these anomalies?
Shen Wenjiang suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and his body trembled slightly.
The fourth prince hurriedly pulled her to sit down, "Look, I'm not feeling well, drink it quickly, and then sleep well under the futon, tomorrow morning." ”
Shen Wenjiang smiled reluctantly and said yes, "Then Your Highness will go over first, I'll rest too." ”
The fourth prince smiled and nodded, "It's okay, Sister Shen, you go to sleep now, I'll let Ayu call you when you eat later, you must sleep well." ”
"Hmm."
It was easy to coax away the four princes, and Shen Wenjiang sent Yanqiu and Hualuo downstairs again.
She was the only one in the room.
"Are you exposed?" Shen Yu asked, his expression unconcealed.
Shen Wenjiang nodded and said calmly: "I won't be poisonous." ”
Shen Yu was even more proud, "So Hua Qing suspects you?" ”
"Nope." Shen Wenjiang pretended to be calm, "I guarded against her early, and drove her back to Dengzhou at the first opportunity." ”
Shen Yu suddenly sighed, "Actually, she doesn't know me very well. Back then, we didn't train together in the palace. ”
"No wonder she did that to me." Shen Wenjiang's heart relaxed a little, and decided to set her words again.
Shen Yu suddenly became interested, "What is she like to you?" ”
Shen Wenjiang didn't hide it from her, "She likes the prince and treats me as an enemy, and she doesn't say bad things about me in front of the prince." Fortunately, the prince didn't believe her. ”
"Then you're wrong, very wrong." Shen Yu sighed.
"How?"
"Compared with her, the prince actually trusts her more."
"Why?"
"This, hmph, don't think I don't know, she has already climbed into the prince's bed."
That's right.
Ho ho, I actually ate a big melon.
For her sake, Shen Wenjiang also gave her the prince's melon.
After what happened last time, Shen Yu might be more eager to bring down the crown prince.
After all, she has already been suspected by the crown prince, and her body is naturally allergic to ambergris.
This means that it is impossible for her to cling to the crown prince, even if she will eventually abandon the four princes and switch to someone else, she will definitely bring down the crown prince first.
Shen Yu's ambition has never been hidden in front of her.
Maybe it can only be shown in front of her.
Not long after, the prince asked people to come over and invite her to dinner, but Shen Wenjiang refused on the grounds that she was ill.
After a while, the flowers fell and Yanqiu went upstairs with the tray.
A simple three dishes and one soup, plus four bowls of rice, are all made by Yanqiu, and it is rare for Hualuo to be a cook.
The meals of the prince and other officials over there were prepared by the accompanying cooks, and they used their own ingredients, and only borrowed the stove utensils and water from the inn.
As for the other guards and entourage, naturally they don't have this treatment, so they can only eat the food prepared by the inn, or gnaw on the dry food they brought.
At night, Shen Wenjiang did not sleep soundly.
Outside, the rain was still falling, splashing on the roof of the house with the sound of firecrackers, the wind whistling through the dilapidated windows, and the occasional lightning bolt flashing in front of the window, bringing thunder and rolling.
It's an ordinary rainy night.
For some reason, she smelled something unusual from it, so she simply put on her clothes and stayed there, and went out of the house to stand in the corridor and listen to the rain.
There was no sound but the wind, rain, and thunder.
But at this moment, there was a faint "click" sound downstairs, as if someone's neck had been broken.
Then came the second sound, the third sound, vague, inaudible, mixed with the sound of wind and rain, indescribably weird.
Soon, someone went upstairs, although the footsteps were slight, and the sound of wind and rain disturbed, Shen Wenjiang still heard it at once.
Who's going upstairs so late?
Besides, there's a guard on duty downstairs.
Yes, even on a rainy night like this, the guards had to be on duty in shifts.
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.
When the prince goes out, they who are guards are really not idle.
But at this moment, someone went upstairs, and the guards on duty didn't even ask.
Shouldn't it?
Shen Wenjiang's heart was full of doubts, but before she could think about it more, two black-clothed figures rushed up.
It didn't seem to expect someone in the corridor, the two were stunned at first, then nodded to each other, and one of them slashed at her with a big knife without saying a word.
Judging from the figure, it should be the two old men I saw at the door of the inn before.
Shen Wenjiang hurriedly dodged, and at the same time shouted loudly: "There are assassins!" Hurry up and escort them one by one! ”
The first to rush out is the closest flower.
She also never fell asleep, knowing that the girl was out, and when she heard her shout, she didn't even have time to put on her outer robe, so she hurried out with only her middle coat, and just intercepted the other black-clothed man, and at the same time threw something out of her hand.
"Girl, give!"
It's her sword.
Shen Wenjiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and stabbed at the black-clothed man with a backhand.
The man in black didn't expect her to react so quickly, and he also underestimated her swordsmanship, and was accidentally stabbed in her left arm, and blood immediately flowed everywhere.
But this person is also a man, so he couldn't help but make a sound.
Soon, another man in black rushed to the second floor and went straight to the room where the prince and the officials lived.
