Sui Sui Jianing

"It's a long story..." Xin Zhi told Xin Ying everything that happened in the palace. Xin Ying unbuttoned his clothes, just when his subordinates brought the medicine, and the powder and pills were placed on the tray. On the next day, Xin Ying pinched another pill and stuffed it into Xin Zhi's mouth, and Xin Zhi chewed it and ate it.

"It hurts a bit, bear with it." Xin Ying reminded, cleaned the wound for him, and then poured the powder on it. Xin Zhi, who was on the verge of death, couldn't help snorting, and his whole body tensed up. up.

Xin Ying's face was very serious, but the movements of her subordinates were very steady and fast. After she finished handling one piece, her subordinates helped wrap up the muslin cloth, and re-wrapped Xin Ying in a short while.

"I know what you mean, you want me to find a way to enter the palace to save Princess Jianing."

Xin Ying straightened up and looked at Xin Zhi, Xin Zhi nodded: "We can't save the emperor, but the princess should still try. No matter how much Wei Jiuyuan values ​​the princess, he won't send heavy troops to guard her."

"Having said that, but you have too many injuries, it's not suitable to go out, so just stay here first, and I will find a way."

"How can I do that? The princess was lost in my hands. If I can't save her, how can I explain to the master?"

"What are you doing at this moment? Do you think you can't do well without me? Xin Zhi, don't you look down on me too much? I'm the owner of Jiying Building anyway."

"I didn't mean that, I—"

Before Xin Zhi finished speaking, the acupoints suddenly went numb, he looked at Xin Ying in surprise, Xin Ying slowly withdrew her hand, and smiled: "Don't worry, I know it well, just wait for my good news."

She turned her head and said to her subordinates: "Change his medicine every few hours. Don't cover the wound badly. If he has a fever in the middle, boil the medicine and pour it down."

"Yes, this subordinate will definitely take good care of Mr. Xin Zhi." The subordinate cupped his fists.

Xin Ying nodded, put Xin Zhi on the bed and lay down, didn't look at him again, turned around and went into the inner room to change clothes, she changed into night clothes, in the belt, sleeve pockets, boots, any place that can hide things They were all stuffed by her, and there was a soft sword wrapped around her waist.

She picked up the mask hanging on the wall to put on, hesitated for a moment, opened the bottom drawer and took out a human skin mask.

This thing might come in handy.

……

The news that the fifth prince was kidnapped soon reached the ears of Wei Jiuyuan and Concubine Mei. Concubine Mei was sitting in front of the emperor's bed and feeding him medicine, but the emperor refused to open his mouth. Concubine Mei was already impatient. When he heard the news, he immediately smashed the medicine bowl in his hand, and scolded with cold eyebrows: "Useless things, even a piece of trash!"

Wei Jiuyuan took a step back to avoid the flying debris, and said in a deep voice: "Mother and concubine calm down, there is something strange about this matter, the other party left the prince and the empress dowager to save a useless fifth prince, why? "

Concubine Mei frowned, "Could it be that he belongs to the prince? The prince and the fifth prince are brothers and have a deep relationship. If..."

Wei Jiuyuan shook his head: "Otherwise, if the crown prince's top priority is to spare no effort to save the prince and the emperor, he will never waste it on the fifth prince. After all, saving him will definitely alarm us. The palace will strengthen its vigilance. It's even harder to do it."

"Who else could it be? Besides being the empress's descendant, what else is the fifth prince—" Mei Guifei's voice froze, Wei Jiuyuan also looked over abruptly, the two looked at each other, and said in unison: "He is the descendant!"

Concubine Mei stood up, but did not see the wide eyes of the emperor behind her.

"The crown prince and the fifth prince are both legitimate sons. If the prince dies, the fifth prince is the most qualified to succeed him. Even if the fifth prince doesn't know anything, he has the status of a descendant and can summon many ministers to follow him." Wei Jiu Yuan let out a deep breath and clenched his fists, "It turns out they had this idea, and we were careless."

"Now we have fallen into a passive position. If the crown prince dies, then the fifth prince will become the only son, and the weight will be even heavier. If the crown prince does not die, those old things will have to waver for a while."

Concubine Mei made a decisive decision, "Send someone to watch over the prince, don't let him die, and don't give him a chance to seek death."

"My son understands that my son will send people to intensify the search of the Golden City. Those people must not have escaped far. The gates of the Golden City are closed. Let's catch a turtle in a jar!"

Wei Jiuyuan gathered people overnight and searched from house to house.

……

Xin Ying came out of the teahouse and almost bumped into the patrolling Imperial Forest Army. She hurriedly hid in the dark, and heard a group of Imperial Forest Army walking past say, "It's really bad luck. The Fifth Prince was robbed. We're tired and we're looking for it in the middle of the night."

"Shut up, you, can you resist the meaning of the above? But those people can snatch the fifth prince from the palace, those people are not small, who can do it? Could it be a master of the rivers and lakes?"

"It's hard to say, but a master... Isn't Jin Yiwei also a master?"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense, Jin Yiwei is not easy to provoke, be careful if they listen to you and plot against you."

The person who spoke immediately fell silent.

However, Jin Yiwei didn't hear it, Xin Ying listened intently.

"The Fifth Prince was robbed?"

She touched her exposed chin and her eyes flickered. Jin Yiwei was indeed the most suspect, or she could ask Jin Yiwei for help.

She was walking through the streets and alleys, avoiding the people of the Imperial Forest Army, but halfway she saw a group of Jinyi guards wearing black clothes and embroidered spring knives on their waists.

"Go over there, surround the Chu Mansion, and go to the Princess Mansion."

Hearing this familiar voice, Xin Ying was stunned: "Cong Shangyun?"

What is he doing?
She observed for a while, and suddenly appeared.

Jin Yiwei immediately drew his sword: "Who—"

"Master Cong."

Xin Ying was standing in the middle of the road, her slender body wrapped in night clothes, with a black iron mask on her face, and only a small part of her chin was exposed, she didn't look like a good person.

Cong Shangyun narrowed his eyes and sized her up for a while, then asked uncertainly, "Are you—"

Xin Ying's voice has been processed, so it's normal that Cong Shangyun can't hear it.

She took out a token from her pocket and threw it over.Cong Shangyun took a look, "Xin..."

His expression changed, "Are you from Lord Hou?"

"If it's a fake replacement."

"What are you doing blocking the way here?" Cong Shangyun threw the token back.

"Are you sure you want to say it here?"

Across the street, the voice of the Imperial Forest Army shouting could be heard faintly.

Cong Shangyun frowned, thought for a moment, then raised his chin at her: "Come with me."

……

The Imperial Forest Army came to the princess mansion again to knock on the door. This time it was Qinghe and Qinglan who opened the door. General Liu, who was the leader, froze suddenly, "Why did you change people? What about the two girls last time, let them come out ?”

"Say something if you have something to say, and get out if you have nothing to say."

Qing Lan glanced coldly at the crowd of people behind him.

"You—you are really more arrogant than the other. Let me tell you, someone hijacked the prince tonight and plotted against him. The Second Highness has an order to thoroughly investigate Jindu, including your princess mansion. Make way for me!"
