Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

Shuying reported, "Princess, the eldest lady of the Fuguo Mansion, the wife of the Crown Prince, and Miss Sun have returned home safely."

Mo Zhaohua asked with concern, "Did anything unusual happen on the road?"

On this day in the previous life, only Rong Shen was in danger, but in this life he escaped. She was worried that the person behind the scenes would strike again.

Although Rong Qing and other women brought guards with them when they went to Baohua Temple to pray, they were just ordinary security guards.

Therefore, after returning home in the afternoon, she sent Shuying to take a few people to Baohua Temple to secretly escort them down the mountain.

The reason why I didn't tell the Duke of Fuguo was that I couldn't find any more excuses. A dream couldn't have too many signs and foreshadowings.

Shuying said in a deep voice: "Yes, fortunately we have people following behind, otherwise we would not be able to defeat them with only a few guards."

Mo Zhaohua instantly became worried, "Is anyone injured?"

Shuying comforted him gently, "Don't worry, Princess. Only the guards were injured. The masters of the Fuguo Mansion are all safe and sound."

"That's good." Mo Zhaohua felt a little relieved and continued to ask, "Do mother and the others believe your words?"

Shuying laughed, "Miss Rong still remembered the day when the princess went to Baohua Temple last year, and she believed it on the spot."

Mo Zhaohua was now completely relieved and smiled, "You did a great job. You really make me feel at ease when doing things."

Shuying was a little embarrassed, "Princess, you are too kind. Compared to Wuying, I am actually a little bit inferior."

Mo Zhaohua comforted him, "That's because you are young and don't have as much experience as him. With time, you can be like him."

After all, Wuying is the big brother of the guard team. Except for his relatively weaker kung fu, he is the strongest in other aspects.

He is bold and careful, prudent and thoughtful. Chu Xuanchi said that Wuying has long been able to stand on his own.

Shuying looked flattered, "Princess, do you trust me so much? I am really terrified."

"How can the prince's vision be bad?" Mo Zhaohua took the opportunity to praise Chu Xuanchi, "I naturally trust the people under the prince's command."

Shuying chuckled, "It's a pity that the master is not here, otherwise after hearing what the princess said, the corners of his mouth would be grinning to the back of his ears again."

Mo Zhaohua was a little shy, "Don't tease me, I'll have to trouble you tomorrow to secretly escort my cousin to the Imperial Examination Hall."

The imperial examination was held every three days and lasted for three days and two nights. Candidates were not allowed to leave the examination hall during these three days.

Only on the night after each exam can candidates return to their residence to rest for a night.

This is to allow the candidates to bathe, change clothes, replace their pens, ink, paper, inkstones, meals and candlesticks, so as to prepare for the next exam.

Shuying suppressed the smile on his face and became serious, "Princess, please rest assured. I will take care of this matter."

***

That night, at the Duke of Fuguo’s Mansion.

Rong Hai had a social engagement today and came back only after having dinner outside.

He first went to see the Duke of Fuguo, then chatted with Rong Shen for a while, and then returned to Zhongli Xiuya Courtyard.

Men in the Fuguo Mansion only marry wives and do not take concubines. Rong Hai therefore rested in Zhongli Xiuya Courtyard every day.

Although he also has a yard in the front yard, it is only used to entertain guests, after all, it is not convenient for guests to go to the back yard.

While helping him bathe and change clothes, Zhongli Xiuya told him about her return from Baohua Temple today.

"What? Encountered danger on the way back?" Rong Hai asked worriedly, "Is anyone injured? Are you okay?"

Zhongli Xiuya said softly: "Fortunately, we met the guards of Prince Yu's Palace. With their help, nothing serious happened."

For fear of affecting Rong Shen's exam performance, they specifically reminded the people accompanying them on the way not to tell this matter to anyone for the time being.

After returning, Rong Qing privately found the Duke of Fuguo and told him the matter, while Zhongli Xiu Ya was responsible for informing Rong Hai.

Rong Hai was furious. "Who is this person who would attack a few powerless women and girls?"

Zhongli Xiuya said: "They are some bandits who wanted to rob us on the road. When they found out we were officials, they threatened to kill us."

These were what Shuying found out after she interrogated the prisoners alive. All the captured people have been sent to the government office for trial.

"Are Madam, Eldest Sister, and Yueyue really all right?" Rong Hai was still worried, "You can hide it from Shen'er, but not from me."

Zhongli Xiuya comforted her, "I am fine, and so are my elder sister and Yueyue. We have been hiding in the carriage the whole time and are well protected."

Rong Hai heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good, but how come we happened to run into the guards of Prince Yu's Palace? What were they doing at Baohua Temple?"

Zhongli Xiuya replied, "The Royal Prince and his wife will stay in the temple at the beginning of next month, and Guard Shuying went up the mountain in advance to greet the abbot."

This was the excuse Mo Zhaohua made. The royal relatives and nobles would stay there for a while and disturb the monks' peace, so arrangements really needed to be made in advance.

"That's really a coincidence." Rong Hai was very grateful, "Next time I have a day off, let's go to Prince Yu's Mansion to thank you."

Zhongli Xiuya smiled and said, "I think so too. I will prepare a thank you gift in the next few days, just waiting for my husband to rest."

At the same time, in Prince Qi’s Mansion, in the study.

Chu Xuanhan had an important matter in the palace today, and left the palace before the palace gate was locked.

It was not until this time that Leng Feng was able to report to him the matters of Lanting Yayuan and Baohua Temple.

Chu Xuanhan shouted angrily, "You useless bastards, if you can't even handle such a small matter, what's the point of me keeping you?"

Leng Feng explained, "Master, Rong Shen did not leave the house today to keep his appointment, so we really couldn't find an opportunity to take action."

Chu Xuanhan frowned, "Didn't I teach you to use both methods at the same time? Why did his family return empty-handed?"

Leng Feng whispered, "We didn't expect that the guards of Prince Yu's Mansion happened to go to Baohua Temple, so they were short of manpower."

"How could it be such a coincidence?" Chu Xuanhan became suspicious. "Could it be that there is a spy around me? Did he leak the news?"

Leng Feng said firmly, "Impossible, this matter was arranged by my subordinates, and the time was calculated. They simply can't make it in time."

"That's strange. How come both plans failed?" Chu Xuanhan couldn't accept this result. He was too frustrated.

Leng Feng said: "Maybe we are lucky, but Rong Shen will not leave the house today. He will have to go to the Imperial College to take the exam tomorrow. We still have a chance."

Chu Xuanhan's face was terribly gloomy, "Are you stupid? Something like this happened today, and they will definitely escort you tomorrow. How can you have the chance?"

Leng Feng added: "Even if they are on high alert tomorrow, they can still find opportunities later. If he misses a subject, he will fail the exam."

Chu Xuan coldly reminded, "Plan carefully, don't act rashly, and don't involve me."

Leng Feng raised his voice and responded, "Yes, Master!"

After Chu Xuanhan finished his business, Leng Yan asked, "Master, should we go back to your courtyard tonight, or go to Mingyue Residence?"

Chu Xuanhan originally wanted to go back to his own courtyard, but thinking of what Concubine Liang said today, he changed his mind and said, "Let's go to Mingyue Residence."
