Chapter 209 Your Highness, don’t be afraid

How could Ruimiao be angry? It was too late for her to be happy. If Mrs. Liu could develop what His Highness needed as soon as possible, it would be a great help to His Highness. As His Highness's personal maid, how could she be unhappy?

Mrs. Liu went off to do her business, and Ruimiao didn't stay too long. She left what she had brought and said goodbye.

The nun beside Mrs. Liu sent Ruimiao to the front door of the house, returned with some mooncakes made by the house, and sent Ruimiao to the carriage before turning around.

The lady went to weave and spin, and the personal maid could only take her close maids to pack up the things that Her Royal Highness the Princess had sent her.

Soon, Mrs. Liu's personal maid discovered that Her Royal Highness the Princess sent more than what Miss Ruimiao said.

There were also some cloth and fur tonic medicines placed in the brocade box, and an envelope containing 500 taels of silver notes.

Grandma was stunned and quickly took the banknote to Mrs. Liu to report it.

Mrs. Liu took the banknote from her nanny, feeling warm in her heart. Her Royal Highness the Princess might have prepared these for the couple because she knew that her husband was honest.

Liu Renren was a third-rank official, and the mansion he lived in was a reward from the emperor. However, the couple had no permanent property except official land. Most of Mrs. Liu's dowry was divided between her two sons who stayed in Jiangnan.

After returning to Beijing, they encountered floods among the people in the suburbs of Beijing, so the couple gave up some more.

Although I live in a huge mansion now, in order to save money, I only use the front two courtyards.

The rest of the mansion was dilapidated after many years of not living in it, and there was no extra money for repairs.

Mrs. Liu knew that her husband was bound to go to Beidi this time, and she never thought of stopping him. She and her husband were both old, and it was time to live for themselves instead of worrying about their son.

So Mrs. Liu never stopped Liu Renren from doing anything when he returned to Beijing.

It’s just that going to Beidi is not just a matter of words. There are many things that need to be prepared.

For this trip, Mrs. Liu plans to save more than half of the expenses for the Mid-Autumn Festival to buy luggage for her husband. This autumn and winter, the entire mansion will not buy new things.

But even so, the money saved is limited, and it may still not be enough to buy travel items.

Mrs. Liu thought over and over again to prepare some of her collection of paintings and calligraphy, which were passed down to her by her parents. Mrs. Liu's parents passed away 20 years ago, and she absolutely did not want to touch these paintings and calligraphy unless absolutely necessary.

I was packing up calligraphy and paintings in the morning, and at noon, a boxing gift and wool arrived from the Princess's Mansion.

With the 500 taels sent by Qin Shuhuang, Mrs. Liu's paintings and calligraphy can be saved.

"The eldest princess treats you so kindly, I will tell him when he comes back."

"Madam, not only money, but also cloth, fur, nourishing medicines, etc."

"Since the eldest princess has sent someone to deliver it, just accept it. You and others will pack up the cloth and fur. In the past few days, you have been rushing to make suitable winter clothes, cloaks and other items for the master."

"Yes, madam, I will go back and make arrangements right now."

Ruimiao came back and reported the situation of the Liu family to Qin Shuhuang.

Ruimiao said happily: "Mrs. Liu has accepted all the things. Before the servant left, Mrs. Liu took the wool to weave and spin."

Qin Shuhuang nodded, hoping that Mrs. Liu could develop various wool-making techniques as soon as possible.

The Liu Mansion was busy, and the Princess's Mansion was no exception.

Since Qin Shuhuang returned to the eldest princess' mansion, Ruihe has led people to sort out Qin Shuhuang's clothes for a long trip, Shilan has led people to sort out accessories, banknotes, and books, and Shiyu has led people to sort out medicines and dry food.The rest of Ruimiao went to run errands for Qin Shuhuang.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, Ruimiao went to Mr. Liu's house with the Boxing Ceremony, and then went to Rongguo Gongfu, Xu's house, and Xue's house.

Qin Shuhuang herself was looking through Beidi's books in the study. Tomorrow she planned to use the token given by the regent to dispatch officials from Honglu Temple to the eldest princess' mansion. She wanted to personally inquire about Beidi's situation.

In the next few days, she will discuss the arrangements for the trip to Beidi with Mr. Liu, and Liu Renren will be responsible for organizing the Beidi mission.

Taking advantage of this trip, Qin Shuhuang also wanted to get rid of the poison on Xie Xuanye.

There were too many things, and Qin Shuhuang had to deal with them one by one as soon as possible.

After returning from the palace, Qin Shuhuang gave instructions about the affairs of the house and then entered the study, while Xuan Cang stayed outside the study.

Before I knew it, it was dinner time from noon.

Xuan Cang was about to remind Qin Shuhuang to have dinner when suddenly his ears twitched, his face turned cold, and he couldn't help but place his hand on the sword at his side.

After confirming that there was something special happening outside, Xuan Cang immediately ran to the study room where Qin Shuhuang was staying.

Qin Shuhuang was immersed in various Beidi information books when he saw Xuan Cang suddenly come in. He raised his head and looked over in shock, "What's the matter?"

Xuan Cang's face was stern, his back was straight, and he said solemnly: "Your Highness, there seems to be an assassin!"

As he said this, Xuan Cang had already arrived at Qin Shuhuang's side. He held a sword in one hand, guarding Qin Shuhuang behind him, and looked around cautiously.

Sure enough, not long after, the window of the study room was suddenly broken, and four or five men in black broke in.

As soon as several men in black broke in, their eyes fell directly on Qin Shuhuang, who was protected by Xuan Cang, and then they all headed towards Qin Shuhuang and Xuan Cang.

The sudden assassination made Qin Shuhuang's face turn pale with fear, but she still mustered her 12-point calmness to deal with it.

He saw the bonsai placed on the shelf behind him, picked it up and threw it at the man in black.

The originally quiet study was suddenly filled with flashes of swords and swords.

Xuan Cang blocked the attacks of the five men in black by himself. Qin Shuhuang, protected by Xuan Cang, looked for an opportunity to hit the men in black with something on the Bogu shelf.

After Xuan Cang knocked down a man in black, Qin Shuhuang also successfully smashed the head of a man in black, making him dizzy for a moment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xuan Cang stabbed the dizzy man with his sword. The dazzling man in black completely killed him.

Three of the five men in black were left.

But Xuan Cang also had fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

In the past, with the skills of these five men in black, Xuan Cang could solve them within a quarter of an hour, but this time he had just killed two of them, and one of them was solved with the help of Qin Shuhuang. He already felt that he was tired and his hands were shaking. Got it!
The onset of the disease made his body not as good as before!
Xuan Cang pursed his lips hard and looked at the remaining three people with cold eyes. His other hand still firmly protected Qin Shuhuang behind him. He tried his best to comfort Qin Shuhuang with a gentle and calm voice, "Your Highness , don’t be afraid, my subordinates will protect you!”

Now he just hopes that he can do his best to hold on until the guards arrive!

Qin Shuhuang knew Xuan Cang's physical condition and had been paying attention to him. Now seeing that he couldn't hold on and had to comfort him, she suddenly felt anxious and distressed.

She looked coldly at the three remaining men in black on the opposite side, wishing to kill them!

The man in black was panicked by Qin Shuhuang's eyes, so he gritted his teeth and charged forward again. They had all practiced martial arts for many years, so they couldn't tell that Xuan Cang was at the end of his strength.
