Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

Chunliu nodded, with a hint of murderous intent in his expression.

"Concubine, when I arrived at the main courtyard, I happened to see Madam Zhao leaving, so I quietly followed her.

I followed her to a dilapidated temple outside the city. After she waited there for a while, a man in black wearing a bamboo hat walked in.

Chunliu paused here, and when she thought of their conversation, her murderous intent could not be stopped from bubbling up in her.

If she hadn't been afraid of alerting the enemy, she would have wanted to kill the two men right away.

Just when Shen Jingyi heard the key point, Chunliu stopped talking.

She looked up in confusion, and in the dim light, Shen Jingyi could still see that Chunliu's face was not very good.

Just as she was about to ask, Chunliu finally spoke up. She looked at Shen Jingyi and said seriously, "What they were talking about was that on the Lantern Festival, they would disguise themselves as bandits and enter the mansion to kill you in the chaos.

Someone will give guidance when the time comes.”

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi's heart sank and her hands and feet instantly felt cold. She didn't expect Chu Mengyao to be so cruel.

He actually hired a killer to deal with him.

Thinking of what Chunliu just said about taking advantage of the chaos, it seems that the King of Qi will force the emperor to abdicate on that day. I don't know who gave her the news, and whether that person is an enemy or a friend.

Dongmei was also shocked by the news. She was very nervous, but she saw Shen Jingyi just kept his head down and didn't say anything.

Dongmei became even more anxious and thought, "Could the concubine be frightened?"

So he said cautiously: "Concubine, let's tell the prince about this. Let the prince send people to catch them all in one fell swoop."

"No." Shen Jingyi shook her head decisively, her eyes firm. "The prince has something important to do that day, I can't distract him."

Her voice was calm and powerful, revealing an unquestionable deterrence.

"Then what should we do now?" Dongmei was a little anxious and her face became paler.

That's a killer! Except for Chunliu, none of the maids in their courtyard can fight.

What if the concubine is injured? What if... What if...

At this moment, Dongmei suddenly had an idea, as if she had thought of something, her eyes lit up: "Concubine, let's sneak out of the house! Hide quietly that day, and wait until after the Lantern Festival, and then let the prince deal with them."

There was a hint of hope in her tone, as if this could ensure Shen Jingyi's safety.

Shen Jingyi smiled gently, trying to comfort her nervousness: "Don't be nervous, let me think about it."

Her voice was like a spring breeze, but the waves in her heart were hard to calm.

At this time, Chunliu continued, "Later, I quietly followed that person into the city and went to Yihong Tower.

There, I heard with my own ears that man discussing with another person, saying that this was a rare opportunity and since they had come in, they should take more things away.

After all, you are a bandit, so you should behave like a bandit."

Dongmei's voice was filled with excitement after hearing this, and she interrupted angrily, "So that's their hideout. We can ask the prince to wipe them out later."

Chunliu rarely praised Dongmei, "You are right this time, that is really their hideout.

But why didn't you think of them as guests?" Her tone was mixed with a hint of admiration, but also a bit of ridicule.

Dongmei pouted and responded unhappily: "Do I look stupid? It shouldn't have been dark when you followed me in!

Have you ever seen a brothel receiving customers in broad daylight?

Besides, there are so many people around at night that you can’t eavesdrop.”

Shen Jingyi's expression suddenly became serious, and she asked, "Do you know how many people will come?"

"Six," Chunliu answered without hesitation, "Because they still want to move our belongings, so six came."

"Then how many can you deal with?" Shen Jingyi continued to ask.

"I can handle three of them." Chun Liu felt a little ashamed. She could only handle three of the six people.

"What if poison is added?" Shen Jingyi thought for a moment and asked again.

This time Ce Liu lowered his head and thought for a while before he slowly said, “If poison is added, the six servants can handle it.

However, I cannot release them all at once, otherwise your safety will be at risk.

Therefore, I suggest you go and borrow two people from the prince.

That way you can be sure of success.”

"Okay, I'll have someone tell the prince tomorrow."

Shen Jingyi agreed. After all, this concerns their lives and safety. They can't be careless.

Then, Shen Jingyi slightly adjusted her sitting posture, looked up at Chunliu, and ordered: "Chunliu, go and quietly call Qiu Kui over."

"Yes, concubine."

Chun Liu immediately obeyed the order, turned around and walked out of the room, his light steps leaving no sound.

After Chunliu left, Shen Jingyi lowered his head and began to think again, with all kinds of possibilities circling in his mind.

Since the other party has already taken action, there is no way she can just swallow her anger and not fight back.

After all, the best way to prevent the epidemic is to take the initiative.
