After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 245 Chapter 245

Compared with finding ways to enter the State Shepherd's Mansion, it is safer to retreat to Zhang's house and then take it easy.

The former is more difficult not to say, once something happens, it is easy to be suspected.

And the latter has Wang Baoqin's identity as a cover, so it is not easy to attract attention.

It's not that Sheng Tingye didn't send people into the State Shepherd's Mansion before.

But Yao Zhaofeng is extremely cautious, he runs his family like he runs an army.

The servants serving in the inner courtyard are all the sons of the family who are held in the hands of a life-and-death contract, and all of them are very skilled.

Sheng Tingye also only had two informants, and he was still cleaning in the outer court, so it was difficult for him to get access to the core secrets.

Ordinarily, with Yue Qi's status, it is obviously easier to place an informant beside Mrs. Zhang.

But the problem is that the reason why he was able to replace the real Zhang Jincheng some time ago was because of a serious illness.

Just recovering from a serious illness, he is like a newborn. Some of his usual performances are slightly different from before, which is acceptable.

But it was too obvious to rashly put people in the inner house.

He's the one to be most careful about.

Therefore, even if there is a good opportunity, for the sake of the overall situation, you can't use it, and dare not use it.

On Zhang's side, only a servant named Zhuzi who works in a large kitchen is Sheng Tingye's eyeliner.

Shen Qingci and Wang Baoqin were arranged in a wing room in the south corner, and they were accompanied by two maids, which could be regarded as treating each other with courtesy.

After moving in, she didn't do anything, she just acted like a well-behaved servant girl by Wang Baoqin's side.

Although Yuan Shi didn't say anything, Shen Qingci knew that there were people watching them secretly, and he was afraid that they would report their affairs to Yuan Shi from time to time.

Two more days passed.

There was still no movement inside or outside the Zhang residence.

And Yuan's side has "found out" Wang Baoqin's identity.

Early in the morning, I specially called my mother-in-law to invite Wang Baoqin to come over.

Compared with the previous indifference and alienation, after confirming the identity of the person, Yuan's face showed a rare kindness this time.

She smiled and beckoned Wang Baoqin to sit down.

"Too many things have happened in the mansion these days, and I'm too busy to take care of you. They are all in-laws and family members. If you have suffered like this, I should stand up for you."

"I have neglected you for the past two days."

Wang Baoqin hurriedly got up to answer.

"Ma'am, that's too serious. With Baoqin's family background, how dare she call someone like Madam a family."

Even if she knew something about Sheng Tingjing's marriage to Jiang Yuzhi, she still had to live with face.

Yuan shi smiled and took Wang Baoqin's hand, and sighed: "Good boy, this is not a difficult task, but after all, it is related to your reputation, so it's not good to make things big. Later, I will ask my master to make decisions for you."

When Yuan Shi spoke, there was a gentle smile between his brows.

But Shen Qingci knew that this was just a scene to comfort Wang Baoqin.

If she really has the heart, but there is nothing wrong with a flower building, it's just that she is too lazy to intervene in such things.

I don't know if Wang Baoqin listened to it. She lowered her eyes and said with red eyes: "Thank you Madam for your favor. Baozhu has nothing to ask for now, but hopes to return to her parents as soon as possible. Wisdom will make people calculate."

Yuan Shi sighed and said a few more words of relief.

"I know how you want to go home, but now the river is frozen and several ferries are closed, you have to go back to Qingzhou by land, but now that the mountains are covered by heavy snow, that road is extremely dangerous, let alone your little girl's home. "

"You can live here with peace of mind. It's okay to go back after waiting a few days for the ferry."

Wang Baoqin bowed and thanked Mrs. Zhang for her kindness.

This is exactly as Shen Qingci expected.

As long as you live first, you can always think of a way.

She just had to hold her breath right now, even though she had initially gained Yuan Shi's trust, she did not dare to take it lightly.

Wang Baoqin is really well-behaved and polite.

Shen Qingci didn't need to remind her, she would bring Shen Qingci to greet Mrs. Zhang every day.

After going back and forth, the two fell into the mansion and became acquainted.

Whether it's the steward above or the servant who cleans the bottom, they all know that Shen Qingci is the personal servant girl of the Wang family.

In the past few days, no matter inside or outside the mansion, everything has been calm.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the neighboring State Shepherd's Mansion sent a message, inviting Yuan to a banquet.

Although his status was low, he was considered a relative of the Zhang family, not to mention that there was nothing else in the mansion these days. Early this morning, when Wang Baoqin came to pay his respects, Yuan Shi made it clear that he would take her to the next door as a guest.

Shen Qingci and Wang Baoqin had only just walked out of Zhang's courtyard, before they could secretly rejoice that they were about to go to the State Shepherd's Mansion, they saw a soft sedan hastily rushing towards the end of the garden.

The soft sedan looks ordinary, but its appearance in Zhang's inner house is a suspicious thing.

The sedan chair curtain was tightly covered, and the several people who carried the sedan chair were all powerful and powerful, and their footwork was extremely stable. At first glance, they were not ordinary bearers.

The moment he saw the soft sedan chair, Shen Qingci felt vigilant.

What kind of people have entered the Zhang family's back house and still don't get out of the car?
Moreover, even the several stewards of Zhang's mansion only dared to follow from a distance, and did not dare to approach the sedan chair at all.

Looking in their direction, are they going to Zhang's Yilan Courtyard?
Shen Qingci subconsciously slowed down his pace.

Wang Baoqin, who was walking in front, noticed Shen Qingci's strangeness, and slowed down accordingly.

"Qingqing, what's the matter?"

Wang Baoqin also noticed the soft sedan chair that was almost there.

Although she was puzzled, but seeing that this posture should not be offended by them, she was about to pull Shen Qingci away, but because Shen Qingci slowed down, it was a little late.

When I raised my head again, the soft sedan chair was already near me.

And Wang Baoqin had no choice but to stand aside with Shen Qingci bowed his head.

Shen Qingci originally intended to probe, wondering if he could find out who was inside when the soft sedan passed by.

But before she could take any action, a gust of north wind blew and the car curtain swayed, and before Shen Qingci could clearly see what was going on inside the car, she first smelled a scent of top-quality aloes.

After careful identification, this spice has a touch of extravagance.

In her impression, only one person used such spices.

It's just that he shouldn't be here at this moment.

At this moment, Shen Qingci only hoped that he was thinking too much.

She subconsciously held her breath, and stood behind Wang Baoqin with an even more respectful face, for fear that the other party would notice her.

Seeing the soft sedan pass by them, it will pass soon.

Shen Qingci's heart was only slightly relieved.

She was thinking about how to find out the identity of this person later.

Even if it wasn't him, this person's identity is not ordinary.

She had to find out what the purpose of coming to Zhang's house during this sensitive period was.

Wang Baoqin had already turned around and walked ahead.

Shen Qingci subconsciously followed two steps.

The accident happened at this time.

"Hold on."

A light breath broke the silence in the yard.

The one who spoke was a middle-aged servant following the sedan chair.

Although the voice was not loud, it revealed an irresistible coercion.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the soft sedan.

At some point, the soft sedan chair had stopped, and the four bearers bowed and stood aside, but no one got out of it for a long time.

The servant who made the noise before waved to the other people in the yard, signaling them to retreat, but his eyes fell on Wang Baoqin and Shen Qingci who were already picking up their steps and preparing to leave.

"stop!"

"Just a moment."

Shen Qingci's heart seemed to be lifted into his throat at that moment.

No matter who the other party is, she won't be recognized, right?

This flustered thought was denied by herself in just a moment.

Now she has such a face, and with these eyes, there is only five or six points of resemblance at most.

Impossible to be recognized.

Make up your mind.

At this moment, the soft sedan chair was tilted, and the curtains of the sedan chair were raised, and a pair of suede short boots embroidered with gold silk cloud patterns first came into Shen Qingci's eyes.

For a moment, she felt as cold as falling into an ice cave.

When the man in brown fox fur stooped out of the sedan chair and saw his appearance, the last illusion in Shen Qingci's heart was shattered.

It really is him.

The second prince, Sheng Tingjing, was King An of the dynasty.

It is impossible for Shen Qingci to admit his mistake.

She was already suspicious just by that wisp of top-grade agarwood fragrance.

Of course, she was no stranger to the fragrance on this man.

You know, in order to save Zhao Miaosheng, she was trapped in the bed by this man, and she was almost frivolous...

It's just that although she was a little skeptical at that moment, she still couldn't believe it.

Shouldn't Shengtingjing be far away in Kyoto at this time?
Moreover, knowing that Sheng Tingye sneaked into Yunzhou City to thoroughly investigate the Zhang family's raising of private soldiers, how could the empress let Sheng Tingjing leave the capital?

Does Sheng Tingye know?
She should have been unaware, otherwise the informant in the city should have informed her.

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Shen Qingci's mind.

But on the surface, she still followed behind Wang Baoqin with a very cautious look.

"Prince An?"

Wang Baoqin should have seen Sheng Tingjing at Wang's house before, and recognized him immediately.

Although it was unexpected, she still hurriedly brought Shen Qingci to bow down to salute.

But Sheng Tingjing's eyes only fell on Shen Qingci, and he didn't seem to see Wang Baoqin's greeting.

Shen Qingci's heart was very nervous, but he couldn't show it too much on the surface.

She knelt on the ground with Wang Baoqin, without even raising her head.

In the blink of an eye, Sheng Tingjing had already come to him.

"Head up."

His voice was as cold as ever.

His handsome facial features were a bit weird because of his gloomy aura.

Just one sentence makes people feel cold all over.

Shen Qingci never expected that the glance just passing by, even she didn't see clearly what was going on inside the sedan chair, actually made this person notice her.

She was uneasy, but she still looked at a loss, and raised her head tremblingly.

But because she was a lowly maidservant, she dared not raise her eyes to meet Sheng Tingjing's.

Playing a timid and cowardly little maid to perfection.

But this obviously didn't make Sheng Tingjing let down his guard.

His eyes dimmed, and suddenly he strode forward and walked up to Shen Qingci.

There was a vulture on his face, and there was a murderous intent in every action.

Those eyes were about to burst into flames.

If eyes could turn into knives, Shen Qingci, who was kneeling in front of him at this moment, would have already been pierced into a hornet's nest.

Before Shen Qingci could react, he raised his slender fingers and directly grabbed her porcelain-white neck.

"Shen Qingci?"
