After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

"You called me?" Shen Zhaixing was surprised for a moment when he heard Nan Yuan calling him. He shouldn't have offended her in any way recently, right?

"Do you know where Jiang Song is?"

Nan Yuan glanced at Shen Zhaixing, and an idea came to her mind. In addition to Jiang Song's affairs, she also wanted to know some other information from Shen Zhaixing.

She only knew what Gu Jingheng was busy with recently, but she didn't know when his energy was most limited.

When he was extremely busy, it was the best time for her to fake her death and escape.

And Shen Zhaixing is a good breakthrough point.

"What do you want to do with her?" Shen Zhaixing looked Nan Yuan up and down, a little wary.

"Of course I have my reasons for looking for her. Just tell me." Nan Yuan did not say much. The matter had not been investigated clearly yet, so it would not be good to say too much.

Shen Zhaixing looked Nan Yuan up and down and asked, "Do you have any evil ideas and want to drag me into your accomplice?"

Hearing this, Nan Yuan was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He had guessed it right by accident, but she would not admit it.

"No, I just want to meet Jiang Song."

"Don't think about it. Even if I tell you, you can't leave the Prince's Mansion. What's the point of telling you?" Shen Zhaixing turned around and was about to leave.

Nan Yuan took two quick steps and stopped in front of Shen Zhaixing: "Gu Jingheng said that I can go out at will. You just need to tell me where Jiang Song is. I won't do anything to her."

"Don't misrepresent my order!"

"Why don't you go back and ask?"

Seeing Nan Yuan's self-righteous look, Shen Zhaixing gave up the idea of ​​turning around to ask Gu Jingheng. Anyway, when she arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, she would find out for herself whether she could get out.

Seeing Shen Zhaixing walking forward, Nan Yuan immediately followed, and at the same time asked someone to inform Gu Jingheng to prevent him from having wild thoughts and disturbing her investigation.

"Your relationship with Ah Heng has warmed up?"

Shen Zhaixing saw Nan Yuan come out of the Prince's Mansion smoothly, and even sent someone to report her whereabouts to Gu Jingheng. They were so close, which was completely different from two or three months ago.

"Curiosity is a bad thing." Nan Yuan complained calmly, keeping his curiosity aroused, and walked straight towards the carriage.

"Hey, with this attitude, don't forget that you need my help!" Shen Zhaixing also walked in.

If I had told him, he might not be that curious, but the more Nan Yuan kept it a secret, the more anxious he became.

Right now is the final moment to encircle and suppress Tianqi's spies. In fact, all plans have to be made at this critical juncture. We must not let anything go wrong.

In particular, Nan Yuan must not cause any trouble at this time, otherwise, once Gu Jingheng is hindered, the whole plan will be in big trouble.

"What happened?" Shen Zhaixing raised his eyes and looked at Nan Yuan.

Nan Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Why do you look so nervous? Is it important to you whether I have a good relationship with Gu Jingheng?"

"You can say it or not, I don't care."

Shen Zhaixing kept his mouth shut. When he heard Nan Yuan trying various ways to get information, he immediately kept silent.

Nan Yuan lifted the curtain and looked outside. The bustling streets were filled with people, the sounds of wheels and horse hooves filled the air, and it was very prosperous.

Nan Yuan lowered the curtain, leaned on the couch, looked at him leisurely, took the initiative to show her trump card, and asked: "Is it because of Tianqi's spy?"

"A few things behind the Weinan earthquake?"

"Or is it about secretly escorting Chu's father to the capital?"

"You..." Shen Zhaixing became more and more frightened as he listened. He hurried to check the situation outside, but found nothing unusual. He turned back and said in a low voice, "Heng even told you all this?"

"Oh, so that's what it is. Then I won't ask anymore. I won't understand even if I listen." Nan Yuan closed her eyes, pretending to rest, waiting for him to self-destruct.

Sure enough, when Shen Zhaixing learned that Nan Yuan knew everything, he had nothing to worry about and quickly instructed: "Since you know everything, you should understand that Ah Heng has been very busy these days. This is a matter of life and death. If you fail, Ah Heng's position as the crown prince may be taken away, so you should be honest recently and don't make trouble."

"In recent days?" Nan Yuan grasped the key information and asked.

Are the last few days the most critical moment?

She was looking for this most critical moment. Only at this time would Gu Jingheng not care about her, and her chances of faking her death and escaping would be the greatest.

Otherwise, the chances of success will be much smaller.

Shen Zhaixing stared at Nan Yuan with some suspicion. She was a little too active.

She blinked and changed her mind: "You just told me that I have to stay in the Prince's Mansion for a few days before I can go out for some fresh air?"

Nan Yuan looked very impatient, as if their plan had prevented her from going out and playing, making her very unhappy, which was very consistent with Shen Zhaixing's stereotype of her.

"Oh, my little aunt, just be quiet for a few days, five days at most. You can do whatever you want during these five days. You can go wherever you want!" Shen Zhaixing said helplessly.

"I should have known I shouldn't have told you all this. It's so annoying." Shen Zhaixing hugged his shoulders, leaned on the other side of the car, and sighed continuously.

Nan Yuan lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.

Five days, such a short time, where could she make the fake death drug?

Just as I was thinking about it, the carriage arrived.

The courtyard is in the south of the city, a little far from the Prince's Mansion, but it is quiet.

This courtyard looks quite ancient. Nan Yuan looked inside through the crack in the door and could vaguely see the pavilions and towers inside.

Seeing Nan Yuan looking around, Shen Zhaixing explained, "This courtyard used to belong to the imperial merchant, but he was demoted because of a mistake. I bought this courtyard and usually let Yue'er live here. Yue'er likes quietness, so normally no one comes here except me."

"Let's go." Shen Zhaixing pushed open the door, asked his subordinates to drive the carriage away, and then took Nan Yuan in.

Isn't this too quiet?

Nan Yuan felt a little strange. Aren't you afraid living alone in such a big and remote place?

"Yue'er?"

Shen Zhaixing stretched out his hand and pushed open a door. It was pitch dark inside. He frowned and walked in.

"Boom-"

A silver needle as thin as an ox hair flew out from the darkness and hit Shen Zhaixing's neck.

Shen Zhaixing was completely unprepared and fell straight down.

"!"

Nan Yuan was standing in the yard, not far from the door of the house. When she saw what was happening over there, she realized something was wrong and turned around and ran.

"Where are you going?"

A man was walking towards me. His hair was braided and draped behind him. There were a few strands of silver mixed in the black hair that fell in front of his eyes. His clothing was very different from that of the people in the capital.

"Apocalypse man?"

Nan Yuan stepped back and asked cautiously.

The man stared at Nan Yuan from head to toe, then threw the knife he had just used to kill the servant in the carriage to the ground.

The undried blood on the blade splattered everywhere, and a lot of it fell on Nan Yuan's white skirt.

"You have quite a bit of courage," the man said, his accent not sounding like someone from Beijing.

"It's just a pity. Who told you to choose today to die?" The man reached out to close the door, and his eyes became gradually more sinister as he looked at Nan Yuan.

Nan Yuan's hand reached for her sleeve. She had picked up a sleeve arrow and put it on her body before going out, just in case something unexpected happened.

She was not sure if she could aim at the man and kill him with one strike, so she could only wait for the right moment, get closer, and closer...

"Helan!"

Just when the man was about to attack Nan Yuan, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Jiang Song, what are you doing?"

The man named Helan frowned and looked at Jiang Song who came out of the house.

Jiang Song?

Nan Yuan also turned her head to look, and it was indeed Jiang Song. She was pushing a sick man in a wheelchair towards them.

The man sitting in the wheelchair had an unusually pale complexion, as if he had not seen the sun for a long time, or as if he had been sick for a long time. He had his eyes closed and seemed to be in a coma.

"Ms. Nanyuan, you shouldn't have come." Jiang Song ignored Helan and instead looked at Nanyuan and sighed.

Nan Yuan turned and looked at Jiang Song, then observed the surrounding environment. Suddenly, she seemed to understand something.

"Are you also from Apocalypse?"

This was a scheme they had concocted together, because the search in the city was too strict, and they had to leave the city if they wanted to survive.

So they wanted to kidnap Shen Zhaixing and use his life to exchange for the opportunity to leave the city, or they wanted to steal the truth and use Shen Zhaixing's name to cover up their tracks.

Their target was Shen Zhaixing, and involving her was just an accident.

"Come in and have a cup of tea. I will tell you everything you want to know." Jiang Song smiled and pushed the man behind her into the house.

Nan Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

Given the current situation, there is no way to run away, and we can only wait and see what they are trying to do.

Nan Yuan walked into the house. The layout was completely different from the outside. There was incense burning in the house, and the smell was strong.

She quickly realized that the incense was a drug, frowned, and held her breath.

Jiang Song turned his head slightly to glance at Nan Yuan, extinguished the incense, and opened the curtains at the same time, and the room instantly became bright.

Shen Zhaixing, who was knocked unconscious at the beginning, was also tied tightly to a chair and is now unconscious.

"Miss Nanyuan, you must be tired. Have a cup of tea and take a rest. We have a business deal to discuss." Jiang Song brought the tea to the table and handed it to Nanyuan with a smile on his face.

Nan Yuan took the tea and just smelled it without drinking it.

Jiang Song was not angry when he saw this. He just sat opposite Nan Yuan, still smiling, "Miss Nan Yuan is a smart person. Now that you are here, you should make the best of it."

"You want to take someone out of the city." Nan Yuan stared at Jiang Song with a faint expression, and said: "But you can't talk about business with me, I can't help you, but the person you tied up can lend you a hand."

"Miss Nanyuan, you are joking. If even you can't help us get out of the city, I really can't think of anyone who can help us." Jiang Song looked at Nanyuan with a smile: "Let's not beat around the bush. I really want to get out of the city. My original plan was to kidnap Shen Zhaixing, but I only have a 50% chance of success."

Suddenly, she looked at Nan Yuan with a determined look in her eyes: "But God helped me and let Miss Nan Yuan come. Then our chances of leaving the city are a little greater."

Nan Yuan sneered and understood what Jiang Song meant.

He wanted to use her to threaten Gu Jingheng to open the city gate!

This is really too much of a compliment to her.

Who is Gu Jingheng?

Your Highness the Crown Prince!

Power and status are the most important to him, and everything else is just embellishment.

She wanted him to give up the opportunity to capture all those Apocalypse spies just to save her.

how can that be possible?

Don't even think about it!

Nan Yuan shook her head and kindly reminded him, "You want to take me out of the capital? You are wrong. I am not worth anything at all."

"Miss Nanyuan, you may have some misunderstandings about yourself. You are very valuable." Jiang Song looked at Nanyuan and smiled more brightly: "Anyway, it's still early and we are not in a hurry. Miss Nanyuan might as well get some sleep first. When you wake up, you will know the outcome."

"If I succeed by chance, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Miss Nan Yuan to accompany us to Tianqi. It's always good to rest up. On the way, there won't be such a good place to rest."

As soon as she succeeded, someone sent a letter to the Prince's Mansion, so she was not afraid that Gu Jingheng would not know about it.

All they have to do now is just one word: wait!

But Nan Yuan stared at Jiang Song and suddenly asked, "Three days ago, at the city gate, or in front of Cha Ya Ju, did you kill someone?"

"Murder?" Jiang Song looked at Nan Yuan in confusion: "Miss Nan Yuan, why do you say that?"

Nan Yuan didn't say anything, but just stared at her, trying to find any clues from her face.

But, unfortunately, Jiang Song had no interest in continuing to talk to her about this topic.

Seeing this, Nan Yuan said, "If you want to use me to leave the city, then answer my questions well. If you are lying, don't worry, none of your plans will succeed."

Nan Yuan suddenly took out an arrow and aimed it at her own neck. The sharp tip of the arrow hit Nan Yuan's throat. If it had gone in just a little further, she would have died instantly.

Don’t they want to use me to get out of the city?

Then you have to listen to her obediently, otherwise, both you and me will perish.

"One life in exchange for three of yours. I think it's worth it."

Realizing Nan Yuan's serious expression, Jiang Song quickly said, "We didn't even have time to hide from them, how could we possibly kill someone? Miss Nan Yuan might have some misunderstanding about us."

Jiang Song tried to comfort Nan Yuan. If she really died, it would be difficult to explain to Gu Jingheng, and even the young master would have to deal with it.

Seeing that Nan Yuan didn't believe her, she quickly looked at He Lan and asked, "Did you kill anyone three days ago?"

Helan wiped the knife in his hand and said nonchalantly: "I have been with you these days, where do I have the time to kill people?"

Jiang Song then turned his head and looked at Nan Yuan again, comforting her: "Miss Nan Yuan, you also heard it, we really don't have time to kill people."

"We have been planning to leave the capital for a while now. How could we kill someone at this critical moment? Don't you think so?"

Nan Yuan lowered her eyes. If they didn’t do it, then who could it be?

In addition to Ajiu's problem, she had another thing that had been bothering her for a long time.

"On October 9th, did you go to Chayaju and see me? What did you do then?"

Nan Yuan was not sure about the cause of Ajiu's death, but she remembered clearly who plotted against her on October 9th.

Hearing this, Jiang Song's eyes were a little evasive.

"Is it really you?" Nan Yuan sneered.

Jiang Song looked at Nan Yuan helplessly and explained, "Miss Nan Yuan, I was also entrusted by someone, and I have my own difficulties. Besides, I didn't do anything. I just had someone knock you out, put you in the room, and let your maid guard you. I didn't do anything to harm you. I swear to God!"

"Entrusted by someone? Let Yue Ran stay with me?" Nan Yuan chewed over this sentence several times, but still couldn't understand it.

It’s not that I can’t understand it, but I don’t dare to think about it too much.

If what Jiang Song said was true, and she really asked Yue Ran to stay with her, then why was Yue Ran not there when she woke up, but was dragged away by someone?

Yue Ran?

Seeing Nan Yuan's disbelief, Jiang Song continued to explain, "Miss Nan Yuan, you have done me a favor. I, Jiang Song, am not a heartless person. I know how to repay a favor. Even if I have to do anything unscrupulous, I will never attack my lifesaver!"
