"Everyone, stop staring blankly. You're needed for tomorrow's performance."

“???” Everyone looked confused. What was going on?

"We...we don't know how to dance..."

"I just want to ask you one question, do you want to go on stage?"

!!!

Everyone nodded in silence. Of course they wanted to do it, but...wasn't there no chance? Could Mrs. Chu still let them perform acrobatics tomorrow?

"What if you can't show your face?"

"?" Everyone was stunned again. They were not allowed to show their faces when performing on stage. What was going on?

However, compared to picking my feet here, what's better than going on stage without showing my face!

Everyone nodded quickly: "No problem, we can do anything."

Ning Ning nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! Then everyone should work together to make tomorrow's performance a good one! The part you are responsible for is very important."

Upon hearing this, everyone straightened their backs with a look of piety and seriousness on their faces.

Since coming out of Tingsong Pavilion, Ning Ning has been working non-stop. First, she dealt with the two killers, then began to practice dancing with the dancers and choreograph music with the musicians. Now she began to design the most confidential and climax part with the acrobats.

She was extremely busy, but at this moment, Shang Wenqi suddenly appeared.

At that time, Ning Ning had ropes tied around her body, and she was using a juggling bamboo pole to do wirework. Although acrobats have amazing arm strength, doing wirework is not just about strength, but also requires coordination of movements and speed with the dancers, otherwise her "Chan'e flying to the moon" would turn into a "flying trapeze artist".

At this time, the acrobat and Ning Ning seemed to have not cooperated well. She was like a pendulum in the air, being pulled this way and that. Even more unfortunate was that the wire was not tied properly. At this time, the satin around Ning Ning's waist loosened, and she suddenly lost weight and fell.

Although her distance from the ground was not very high during the test phase, her fall at high speed was still very severe, and she might not be able to jump tomorrow.

Just as Ning Ning was frantically thinking about whether she could buy a mat before falling to make herself feel better, the next second, a black shadow flew over, hugged her waist, and gently dropped her to the ground.

Everyone was shocked at this moment, and when they saw Ning Ning land safely, they hurried over.

"Are you okay, Chuchu?"

"Fortunately, Mr. Chu came over. It was really a close call!"

"Mr. Chu, aren't you busy outside? How come you have time to come here?"

Some people were concerned about Ning Ning, while others focused their attention on Shang Wenqi.

Ning Ning quickly stepped away from Shang Wenqi when she heard this. Just as she was about to say something polite, Shang Wenqi grabbed her wrist again: "I have something to tell you."

After saying that, Shang Wenqi didn't wait for everyone to nod, and directly pulled Ning Ning to a deserted place.

?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they didn't understand what the couple was talking about, they were a couple after all and wanted to talk in private away from everyone. They couldn't be so tactless as to eavesdrop, could they?

Therefore, everyone could only study why the silk slipped and how to make Madam Chu more graceful in the air.

If Ning Ning knew about this, she would definitely be moved by their seriousness and diligence. However, she was pulled away by Shang Wenqi at this moment and didn’t see it...嘤嘤嘤.

Ning Ning looked at Shang Wenqi with a puzzled look on her face at this moment: "Why did you suddenly come to see me? What happened?"

Shang Wenqi frowned, and not only did he not let her go, he even started to look her whole body with her hand, and only after making sure that she was not injured did he relax his brows.

"What happened during the day?"

"?" Ning Ning was confused: "What's going on?"

"The two bodies." Shang Wenqi didn't beat around the bush.

Ning Ning understood: "You found the body? Well, they came to kill me as soon as I separated from you and walked there. In order to protect myself... I had to take the initiative. That's about it."

"How could you..." Shang Wenqi looked at her strangely.

He had indeed made a mistake today. He had only taken Ning Ning out without bringing any other attendants. He had thought that there would be no emergencies in the Furong Garden next door, but he still encountered one.

Shang Wenqi was stunned when he thought of his subordinates' report that a body was found in the back alley of Tingsong Pavilion. He immediately sent someone to send the princess back home, and he quickly ran to the scene of the incident.

Fortunately, the person lying there was not Ning Ning, but someone else, and it was obvious that it was Ning Ning who did it.

Although Ning Ning had already dealt with the scene, Shang Wenqi still found traces of gunpowder.

Shang Wenqi was sure that Ning Ning did not know martial arts, but did she carry a sulfur fire bomb? Shang Wenqi was not sure.

He checked Ning Ning's bag and found nothing wrong with it, but how to explain the traces of gunpowder on the ground?

Of course compared to these, Shang Wenqi found that what he cared more about was whether Ning Ning was injured.

Only after making sure that she was unharmed did Shang Wenqi calm down.

"What do you want to ask? About firecrackers?" Ning Ning did not shy away. She knew that Shang Wenqi could not hide this matter from her. Instead of making him suspicious, it was better to just say it directly.

Even allies who have sworn blood oaths cannot have suspicions, let alone their plastic alliance. The best way to cooperate happily is to have no secrets.

Of course, this is limited to secrets that can be told.

Ning Ning said this and took out two firecrackers from her sleeves.

"I made this little gadget for fun. You can try it out when you return to the Imperial Guards' Mansion. Just throw it on the ground. Of course, if you're brave enough, you can just crush it."

Shang Wenqi took a look at the two little gadgets the size of a fingernail wrapped in white paper. Although he was suspicious, he still took them.

"You have to be careful to protect it now. Although it has no killing power, it makes a lot of noise. If it alarms the owner of Furong Garden, I'll see how you deal with it."

Shang Wenqi said nothing, put away the firecrackers, and then continued: "Come back to the Imperial Guard Mansion with me."

This time, Ning Ning refused to cooperate.

"You're kidding. I have to stay here tonight. No... Strictly speaking, I have to stay here from today until I enter the residence of the Minister of Justice."

"Things are different now. The Ministry of Justice has targeted me, and probably you too. They may even plan to kill you first no matter who you are. You will only be safe if you stay with me."

Ning Ning shook her head: "This is my only chance to enter the residence of the Minister of Justice. I will not give up."

"Ning Ning." Shang Wenqi frowned.

"I know what I'm doing. At least I have to stay for the ring matches tonight and tomorrow. If you feel uneasy, you have to accommodate me.

Anyway, Lord Shang is suspended now, so there is no difference between living in the Imperial Guard House and living in Hibiscus Garden, right? This way, I can also reflect my identity from the side, that I am really just a charming dancer who has fascinated Lord Shang.

Killing two birds with one stone, right? "

Ning Ning said this and threw him a wink.
