Mr. Borong's bamboo house was crowded with people on this day. Sheng Rujin knew what was going on from the mouths of Yang Zijing and Bai Zhu.

It turned out that she and Xiao Ningcheng went up the mountain yesterday, and they didn't go down the mountain for a long time. Yang Zijing and the others went down the mountain first, and when it was dark, no one came down. The guards sent to look for them did not return.

Yang Zijing was the first to react. She has been in the deep palace since she was a child, and she is somewhat sensitive, plus Xiao Ningcheng's status is noble, and she is different from mortals. Naturally, she thinks deeper.

So Yang Zijing saw that the second group of guards who went into the mountain to search did not come back for half an hour, so she didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately turned her horse's head and prepared to return to the city to report.

I didn't expect it to be as Sheng Rujin expected. They were ambushed by the Assassins on the way and scattered by the Horrification.

Yang Zijing panicked and subconsciously picked the direction of Mr. Borong's bamboo house. She hurriedly fled to the bamboo house and reported to Mr. Borong.

Mr. Borong knew that the matter was very important, and immediately flew a pigeon to inform the palace. At this time, Wei Anqing had not yet returned to the city, and Mr. Borong asked him to help find the fifth prince, Xiao Ningcheng and Sheng Rujin.

Wei Anqing then entered the mountain......

That's how it all went.

Sheng Rujin was silent for a long time after listening. It was all about the same as she had predicted in hindsight. The Assassin followed Xiao Ningcheng for a long time, waiting for him to be alone, and then planned to hit him with one blow. If you don't hit, kill the person who told the news, and surround it and continue to chase it.

One of the most heavily guarded places in the heart of Gyeonggi, near the outskirts of Beijing, is so dangerous. A small hill for hunting and fun turned out to be dangerous and murderous.

If Sheng Rujin only thinks that this matter is quite understandable, but the news brought by Yang Zijing is shocking.

The four gates of the capital have not been allowed to enter so far.

In other words, Yang Zijing has not been able to enter Beijing so far, and this is the reason why she is still in Mr. Borong's bamboo house.

Yang Zijing was full of sorrow: "I don't know what will happen to this?" ”

Sheng Rujin was silent.

What else can be done about this? Wait for the news from the palace to come out.

Sheng Rujin and Yang Zijing said: "I was separated from His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince last night, but fortunately I was rescued by Prince Wei. But being alone with a man and a widow all night together is detrimental to my reputation......"

Yang Zijing was very smart, and immediately said: "Don't worry, when you returned to Beijing, you said that you fled to Mr. overnight with me." Sir will cover it up for you, too. I believe that no one wants to make extraneous branches. ”

Sheng Rujin was relieved when she heard this.

She believes in Xiao Ningcheng's gentlemanly character, and this matter will not easily pull her in. Otherwise, she will be in trouble......

……

The four gates of the capital slowly opened in the evening, allowing the people to enter and exit for an hour, and then closing again.

Sheng Rujin and Yang Zijing hurriedly entered the city, and then after making an agreement, they went back to their respective homes.

Sheng Rujin returned to Huanxin Garden, and after lying on the familiar bed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally back.

She doesn't have to worry about whether her life will be lost, and she doesn't have to worry about whether her life is going to be given to Xiao Ningcheng.

On the second day, news came from the palace. Xiao Ningcheng is fine. However, from today onwards, there will be a ten-day curfew in the capital, and the entire city will search for assassins.

The affected counties outside the city also sent additional personnel to search for the whereabouts of the Assassins.

Sheng Rujin's father, Sheng Yuming, has been in the palace for the past two days. I heard that the emperor was furious, the queen was shocked, and Xiao Ningcheng's mother specially invited the will to leave the palace and go to the palace of the fifth prince to take care of her injured son......

……

The turmoil outside is weird, and rumors are gradually coming out. But for Sheng Rujin, who is bent on recuperating from his injuries, he doesn't care at all.

She took advantage of this opportunity to start cutting her dance clothes for the sword dance, waiting until the scars on her feet healed. She continued to practice the "Breaking Formation Sword Dance" in the garden.

Five days passed, Sheng Rujin woke up early in the morning and went to the ground to try his feet. The blisters on my feet don't hurt anymore. The place where the leg was scratched by the thorns is also much better.

She had breakfast, looked at the hour, and said to Qinglan, "Go and prepare." ”

Qinglan understood.

After a while, two people dressed inconspicuously dressed as maids quietly left the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.

……

In the room of the fifth aunt Wang, the fifth aunt who had just passed the joy was eating melon seeds on the kang.

She was happy a while ago, she ate and vomited, and she had no energy, but she was only slightly better these days.

She knocked on the melon seeds, and was bored watching the little maids sewing children's clothes underneath.

At this time, an inconspicuous little maid quietly walked in and whispered a few words in her ear.

Fifth Aunt Wang's eyes lit up suddenly: "Really? She's out the door? ”

The little maid nodded: "The fifth aunt asked the slave maid to look at Huanxin Garden. A few days ago, the eldest lady was recuperating from her injuries, and after breakfast early this morning, she somehow dressed up as a maid and went out of the house with Sister Qinglan. ”

"The slave doesn't know what to do when she sees her sneaky."

The fifth aunt Wang patted the case on the kang: "What else can I do?" It's just going to meet the lover! ”

She said repeatedly: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect this person to be so young and so unruly." ”

The little maid didn't dare to refute, but just asked, "Is the fifth aunt still letting people follow now?" The slave and maid let the king's steward's son, the dog, go and follow. ”

Fifth Aunt Wang smiled: "Of course follow." However, in the past few days, the old man has been busy with affairs, and he has only returned to the house two or three times. The eldest lady doesn't know what she's doing every day, and she won't let us invite her, so I'm afraid I won't be able to get any benefit from disturbing the eldest lady at this time. ”

The fifth aunt Wang said and thought about it, and suddenly, she giggled: "There is someone who can go to the diaphragm." ”

As she spoke, she got up and ordered the maid to change her clothes and freshen up.

It wasn't until she was dressed up and dressed properly that she left her garden.

……

Sheng Rujin and Qinglan went out of the house. For safety, she and Qinglan entered a teahouse, and then quietly came out of the back door of the teahouse and went straight to Lingniang's residence.

knocked on the door, Ling Niang saw that it was Sheng Rujin, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Miss, you're here, this pine crane birthday picture has been embroidered for more than half of it." You're just here to take a look. ”

Sheng Rujin was surprised: "It's only been more than half a month, and you're so fast?" ”

Ling Niang smiled: "I have nothing to do at home all day long, so naturally I embroider quickly." ”

As she spoke, she welcomed the two of them in, and went back to the house alone to get the embroidery.

Sheng Rujin sat in the courtyard and waited. The yard was cleaned and even planted with small inconspicuous flowers. It seems that Lingniang is a person who understands life very well and is very diligent.

The embroidery sample was brought in quickly.

Ling Niang unfolded it for Sheng Rujin to see.

Qinglan glanced at it and immediately exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's so beautiful!" It's just like the real thing! How could it be ......"

Sheng Rujin was also surprised. Although she had seen Lingniang's embroidery in her previous life, she didn't really take it to heart.

First, she didn't care about it at the time, and secondly, the clothes that Ling Niang made for Sheng Shubi were mainly practical, and rarely spent a lot of effort to embroider any patterns.
