Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

As he was speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Chu Er from the palace riding a horse galloping towards them.

"General Zhao, Madam Zhao, the prince has asked me to tell you two that there is an emergency in the palace. I am afraid I cannot return home today. I hope you can forgive me."

Instantly, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.

How big could the problem be? How come no one in the palace could solve it, and it even implicated Zhao Rui and her husband?

"Excuse me, big brother guard, is my daughter A Rui okay in the palace?"

Mother Zhao had been very worried this morning, and now she said it was an urgent matter. No matter how big the matter was, there would be people from the palace. Her daughter was not marrying a prince, so there was no reason for her to show up.

So after thinking about it, I just feel that it is dangerous.

"Madam Li is doing fine. She even performed a great service for the palace last night."

Last night?

"What happened?"

Zhao's parents were terrified when they heard this.

"Chu Er, can you please just say it directly?"

Shen Zhishu also felt uneasy after hearing this.

She didn't worry about anything else, but she was worried that Su Rong would go crazy and plot against Zhao Rui.

Chu Er looked at Concubine Shen, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then walked to her side and whispered a few words in her ear.

Shen Zhishu was also shocked and subconsciously looked at Chu Er.

"That's all I can say. Anyway, please rest assured, General Zhao and Madam Zhao. Madam Li is fine. I'm just afraid I'll be late when I return home. I hope you can forgive me."

Having said that, he hurried back quickly.

"Shu'er, is my Arui really okay?"

As soon as the person left, Mrs. Zhao immediately pulled Shen Zhishu to confirm again.

"Don't worry, auntie, it's really alright. What Chu Er said is of great importance and cannot be leaked. I hope you can forgive me for not telling anyone."

Shen Zhishu also tried his best to comfort her.

But at this moment, I have a lot of thoughts and my heart is in a mess.

Because Chu Er said that the third princess and her husband who were married far away were assassinated on their way back to Kyoto and were separated from their entourage and guards. They entered the capital yesterday in disguise but were almost killed by the assassin who followed them secretly.

Fortunately, I met Zhao Rui on the street last night and was rescued by her.

Now, the third princess and her husband are recuperating in the Prince Qin's Mansion.

It has not yet been discovered who is behind the attack, so the third princess and her husband are hiding secretly in the palace and no one can know the truth.

Therefore, Zhao Rui will not come back for a while.

Under normal circumstances, she would have just sighed over the fate of the third princess, whom she didn't even know, and wouldn't have had any special feelings.

But now, she still holds a huge bomb about the third princess in her hand, which may explode at any time.

No one knows whether her assassination this time is related to that incident.

She was even more worried that this was all planned by Su Rong, and that she would be inexplicably implicated in the end.

Therefore, she had to find a way to send the secret letter in her hand as soon as possible.

She subconsciously thought of Yan Chu.

But this matter is of great importance, so he must have asked himself how he got the news since he was living in the inner house.

Even if she told the truth, would he believe that it was Su Rong who did it?

And what if he believed it? It was a royal secret. If he was worried about leaking it, he would be on guard from then on. How could they be close?

Therefore, this letter, no matter who it was originally intended for, must return to her hands without anyone noticing.

But if she entered the palace, the letter would be in the hands of the queen. How could she not doubt herself for such a life-threatening secret? And when the third princess entered the palace, the time when the mother and daughter sent the letter would also be exposed.

Difficult.

Shen Zhishu had a worried look on his face.

"Since she can't come back, let's go inside and eat first. We've prepared such a large table of delicious food, we can't let it go to waste, right?"

Although Zhao's father and mother were worried about their daughter's condition, even if they didn't come, there were several tables of relatives sitting inside, and they couldn't just ignore it.

And Shen Zhishu has been thinking about how to send the letter.

Suddenly, I saw King Cheng.

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Rui returned home, he would actually come over.

Although Zhao's mother and Concubine Hui were cousins ​​and had a close relationship, it always felt a little inappropriate for a prince like him to join in such a fun.

And they were gathered in the crowd, not very conspicuous.

But his appearance gave Shen Zhishu an idea.

In the harem, Concubine Hui depended on the Queen for her survival and went to pay her respects to the Queen every day. She was considered the concubine closest to the Queen.

But she also has her own little thoughts. She wants to live in the harem, but she also has to consider her status. This Concubine Hui is not as kind as she looks.

So she walked towards King Cheng slowly.

Early the next morning.

The escort troops from outside the Great Wall arrived in Kyoto. The gorgeous carriage was surrounded by the guards and slowly moved towards the post station.

On the way, people began to talk about Princess Jing'an's deeds.

Ten years ago, she married far away to the border for the sake of Yan State and maintained peace on the border. For a time, everyone was singing praises to her.

Some people even shouted her name. The atmosphere became more and more lively, and everyone warmly welcomed her return.

There were also women of about the same age as Princess Jing'an who praised her with tears in their eyes, saying that as women themselves they knew how difficult it was for her.

In short, all the people in the city lined up on both sides, from the city gate to the post station, and everyone warmly welcomed her back home.

Shen Zhishu was also in the crowd, watching quietly.

There was indeed someone sitting in the carriage, and a figure could be vaguely seen swaying.

But it definitely wasn’t the Third Princess Jing’an and her husband.

Seeing this scene, I'm afraid that King Qin has already made plans and does not intend to leak the news of Princess Jing'an's assassination.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should be nearby.

Because the people who assassinated Princess Jing'an would most likely appear among this crowd and might be able to expose the situation inside the carriage.

"I have already arranged the scene. If the assassin dares to show up, they will never return today."

In the huge crowd, Su Rong was dressed in simple civilian clothes, and Yan Chu was the same. They also covered half of their faces with a scarf to hide their aura, so they were really not that conspicuous.

"Do you think the other party will show up?"

"Why not? They assassinated the Third Princess when they were about to reach Kyoto because they didn't want her to enter Kyoto. They didn't know that the Third Princess was missing. This was their last chance."

Su Rong swore solemnly.

She was certain that the other party would take action, and she could take advantage of the chaos to catch the assassin, which would not only make her meritorious service, but also impress Yan Chu.

Yan Chu stood with her, looking around calmly.

I've been here for almost half an hour, but I haven't seen anyone suspicious.

However, he was surprised to see a familiar figure standing opposite him.

Shen Zhishu was wearing a dark grey cloth shirt and trousers, just like any ordinary citizen. She had her hair tied up in a bun and half of her face covered with a dark blue scarf. Only her eyes could be seen, scanning the crowd.

He looked at her quietly, just wanting to see if she could spot him in the crowd.

"I'll go check ahead, be careful."

Su Rong was the person in charge of welcoming Princess Jing'an back to Kyoto. The whole place was arranged by her, so naturally she couldn't stay here all the time.
