Chapter 1157
The night was deep, and the village was quiet, only the sound of a carriage driving across the snow, slowly driving towards the tent.

In front of the tent, there were two lanterns hanging, illuminating the snowy field in a dim light. The guards saw a carriage approaching and stepped forward cautiously.

"Who trespassed on Panlong Village?"

The carriage stopped, and the door of the carriage opened, revealing a handsome face as clear as jade, and the imperial guard quickly saluted with fists in their hands: "I've seen Mr. Shen."

Shen Cheng got out of the carriage and looked into the tent: "Ah Jiu, did you rest?"

The imperial guard nodded, at this time the curtain was lifted, and Ling Yue came out: "My lord,"

Shen Cheng nodded, then entered the tent, and Ling Yue went to other tents to rest.

On the couch, Rong Jiu was sleeping soundly, not knowing at all that Shen Cheng was coming, Shen Cheng took off his outer robe, got on the couch and hugged her into his arms.

Falling into a familiar embrace, Rong Jiu naturally put her arms around his waist, as if being hugged by a stove, and fell into a deeper sleep.

A good night's dream, before dawn, there was the sound of cock crowing, Rong Jiu got used to waking up early, and when she opened her eyes, she touched a pair of eyes with deep tenderness, and asked with a happy smile, "Sister, why are you here?"

Shen Cheng smiled and said, "I will take you back to the residence."

Rong Jiu was stunned for a moment, and Shen Cheng said again: "King Ning and King Lingnan are going to make a move."

Rong Jiu had installed secret guards in Prince Ning's mansion before, so Shen Cheng knew every move of Prince Ning like the palm of his hand.

Rong Jiu raised his eyebrows: "What are they going to do?"

"King Ning bribed the eunuch in the imperial dining room, poisoned His Majesty, and then sent secret guards to Panlong Village to assassinate you."

"Does Father know?"

Shen Cheng shook his head.

Rong Jiu's face changed drastically, and he said in shock, "Why didn't you tell the emperor that King Ning killed his father and seized the throne, there must be no cure for the poison."

"King Ning poisoned His Majesty, but he will not take His Majesty's life for the time being. Otherwise, His Majesty will die suddenly. Once the investigation is made, King Ning will not be able to get rid of the responsibility. The reason why he sent someone to assassinate you is to prevent you from returning to the palace. After saving His Majesty, there is no news from Lingnan, and I have no choice but to use my plan to kill King Ning and Lingnan King." Shen Cheng said, holding Rong Jiu's hand, "Although this plan is dangerous, it is a good plan for my husband. I believe that you will be able to save His Majesty."

"But what if we can't save them? Although medical skills can save people, they are not omnipotent. There will always be times when they can't do anything, and the life of the emperor is at stake. We can't afford to gamble on this one."

"We may not have no bargaining chips in our hands. The poison came from Lingnan. The Lingnan king must have an antidote. If he doesn't want to be buried with His Majesty, he can only take out the antidote."

Shen Cheng had already made arrangements, and Rong Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about the panic at that moment, he realized what it means to care about chaos.

"Sanggong, let's go back as soon as possible, if it's late, it will be too late."

"Well, if we go back at this time, King Ning will be caught off guard."

After packing up his things, Rong Jiu left the imperial guards stationed in Panlong Village, and brought the hidden guards back to Chang'an.

When the villagers learned that Rong Jiu was leaving, they came to see her off one after another, and sent her out of the village all the way. The villagers were very reluctant to part with her.

Rong Jiu said to the villagers: "I left the imperial guards and the imperial physician in the village, if you have anything to do, you can go to them."

Granny Xu asked Dazhu and Erzhu to load the bacon and spicy cabbage into the carriage, with tears in her eyes, she said, "If you finish eating, the princess will tell auntie, and auntie will make it for you."

"Okay, thank you, ma'am, there will be a farewell to sending you thousands of miles away, everyone please stay."

"Be careful on the princess road."

The villagers stood in the snow and watched the carriage gradually go away.
