Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

The girl said to Qinghe gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness in saving me and giving me the candy."

Qing He said to her, "No need to be polite. This is the only serious injury on your brother's body. Now that it has been treated, he just needs to rest for a while."

After hearing this, the brother and sister felt a little relieved.

"Thank you young lady. I wonder if I can meet the person who saved my brother and I."

Qing He said to her, "Miss, my fourth uncle is still in a coma and may not wake up until tomorrow."

At this time, Qin said, "You two are pitiful, having suffered such a misfortune. Why don't you stay in the mansion? When you feel better, I will send you home."

After hearing what Qin said, the girl hurriedly shook her head and said:

"We appreciate your kindness, madam, but we really can't stay in your house for long. My brother and I must go home as soon as possible."

Qinghe and Qin were both puzzled. Qinghe asked, "Why are you so anxious, young lady? Why don't you tell us?"

The girl had tears in her eyes and said in a trembling voice:

"We are the eldest daughter Sheng Yixuan and eldest son Sheng Zhongcheng of Sheng Lin, the Minister of Industry.

It was because my mother was seriously ill in bed, and all the famous doctors in the capital were unable to cure her.

Yesterday, my aunt told me that going to Longan Temple to pray would ensure my mother's health, so my sister and I went to Longan Temple together early this morning.

Unexpectedly, on the way back home after praying, we were surrounded by several villains. They tried to kill my sister and me, and even wanted to rape me first and then kill me. "

As she spoke, Sheng Yixuan couldn't help crying.

"Did those people say that someone paid them to kill you two sisters?" After hearing this clichéd plot, Qinghe paced back and forth, holding his chin and asked Sheng Yixuan.

With tears in her eyes, Sheng Yixuan looked at Qinghe in surprise and asked:

"How do you know? That's exactly what they said.

But my family has always lived a fair life and has never wronged anyone. I wonder who is so cruel as to want to kill us?"

Qing He sighed and said, "There are many such plots in the storybooks. I think it's your own people in the Sheng family who want to kill you!"

Sheng Yixuan was incredulous when she heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "We are one of the Sheng family? How is this possible?"

Qing He looked serious and analyzed slowly:

"Girl, think about it carefully. If it wasn't someone close to you, how could they know your itinerary? And how could they set an ambush on your way back from praying for blessings?"

Sheng Yixuan bit her lip and fell into deep thought. After a moment, she shook her head and said:

"But our Sheng family has always been harmonious. I really can't think of who it could be."

Qin said, "Don't worry, young lady. We need to think about this matter carefully. But no matter what, your current situation is dangerous. It is better for you to stay in the mansion and think about it carefully."

Sheng Yixuan still insisted: "Madam, thank you for your kindness. But my mother is seriously ill in bed, and I will feel uneasy if I don't go back."

Qing He thought for a moment and said:

“Since my fourth uncle saved your siblings’ lives, I cannot let you go back and face the risk again.

How about this, girl, since you are worried about your mother's health, why don't you tell me what illness your mother has? I will go to your house tonight to treat your mother.

I'll also take this opportunity to see how your family reacts. What do you think?"

Sheng Yixuan said gratefully: "Thank you for your thoughtful consideration. If you can find the real culprit who harmed us this time, I will repay you one day."

Qing He waved her hand and said, "Miss Sheng, you are too polite. Please tell me about your mother's illness."

Sheng Yixuan pondered for a moment and said:

"My mother was pushed into the water by a maidservant of my aunt when she was pregnant a few years ago. She lost the baby and was seriously injured. Since then, she has been ill and often bedridden, taking medicine all the time.

This time, my mother started coughing up blood and was barely conscious for much of the day.

For the sake of my mother’s health, we followed my aunt’s advice and went to Longhua Temple.”

Qing He understood what was going on and said to Sheng Yixuan:

"Miss Sheng, don't worry. There is no disease that I can't cure. Give me a token so that when I go to your house, your father won't believe me."

Sheng Yixuan understood, took off a pendant from her body, handed it to Qinghe, and said:

"This is a gift my father and mother gave me on my birthday. If you give this to your father, he will definitely believe you."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some food for you, and after you finish eating, you can have a good rest.

I will go to your house tonight, and you just need to wait patiently."

Sheng Yixuan's eyes turned red, and she bowed gratefully: "Thank you for your help, young lady. I will never forget such a great favor."

As the night fell, Qinghe and Baili Ye activated the teleportation function in space and came to Sheng Mansion together.

As soon as the two entered the mansion, they saw chaos inside and the servants were running back and forth anxiously.

After hearing the conversation between the two maids, I realized that the eldest lady and the young master had not returned yet, and everyone was anxiously sending people to look for them.

In the main hall, Sheng's father's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He paced back and forth in the hall, his hands clenched into fists, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

His brows were furrowed, veins bulged on his forehead, his eyes were full of anxiety and worry, and he kept muttering to himself:

"Why did these two children go to Longhua Temple? Why haven't they returned yet?"

Every time a servant came in to report that the siblings had not been found, Father Sheng's body would tremble unconsciously and his face would become increasingly uglier.

He was extremely anxious, as if there was a fire burning in his heart, devouring his sanity bit by bit.

"Everyone, go out and look for them! If you can't find the young lady and the young master, don't come back!"

Father Sheng roared, his voice becoming hoarse due to extreme anxiety.

His eyes were filled with fear, fearing that something unexpected would happen to his children.

Father Sheng suddenly stopped and looked at the darkness outside the door. There was a trace of despair in his eyes. He prayed silently in his heart: "Yixuan, Zhongcheng, please don't get hurt!"

Thinking of his wife who was still ill, she was already bedridden and very weak.

If I knew that my children were missing, I would probably die.

Thinking of this, Sheng Lin called everyone together and ordered ruthlessly: "Don't tell Madam a word about the disappearance of the young lady and the young master, otherwise you will be beheaded."

"Yes." Everyone took the order and withdrew, then went to look for the eldest lady and the young master.

At this time, the concubine in the mansion also hurried to the main hall. Her face was full of anxiety, but there was a hint of excitement in her eyes.

She walked quickly to Father Sheng and said in a tender voice:

"Master, what should I do? How could Yixuan and Zhongcheng suddenly disappear? I am so anxious that I am like an ant on a hot pot."

As he said this, he pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

Father Sheng was upset and ignored her.

But the aunt continued to speak to herself:

"Master, don't worry too much. Maybe the children are just having fun and will be back soon."
