Shen Jinyao and Shen Leyao were both wearing palace maids' clothes, so they naturally had to bow their heads and give way when they met a noble person.

Murong Wenjing had just come out of the mourning hall, with sadness still on her face.

Even the way she walked looked as if she had suffered a huge blow.

"Everyone says that the eldest prince and the eldest princess are not close, but look at the eldest princess..."

"Yes, the eldest princess is much sadder than the little prince."

"Speaking of which, the Second Prince and the Little Prince are really becoming more and more unruly."

"Yeah, I heard that the servants were asked to come in and deliver things today."

"Tsk tsk..."

"It's been a while since I've seen the eldest princess so sad. It's really heartbreaking to see."

"Yes, such a beautiful princess with a good temper, how could she..."

"Hey, you're really asking for death. Don't you know that the eldest princess hates these things the most?"

"Yes, the eldest princess doesn't want anyone to mention her marriage."

"Keep your voices down, the eldest princess seems to be looking over here."

The palace maids nearby gathered together, and Murong Wenjing knew what they were talking about without having to think.

In short, her goal today has been achieved.

"Let's all go. I'm just too sad. It's nothing serious."

Murong Wenjing wiped her tears with a handkerchief as she spoke.

Shen Jinyao was not far away, and she took a quick look.

Murong Wenjing's eyes were indeed red.

But Murong Wenjing was acting out Shen Jinyao's intuition.

After all, if she really felt sorry for her brother, she should be in the mourning hall now, not crying in this garden.

She looked around.

Most of them were palace maids and attendants, and some held certain positions in the palace.

Of course, there were also people from various families who came to inquire about the news.

Shen Jinyao withdrew her gaze.

To be precise, this is equivalent to a 'press conference'.

Shen Jinyao didn't know where the second prince was now, but Murong Wenjing's performance had attracted a lot of attention.

Murong Wenjing seemed tired of crying, and then sat on the bench in the corridor.

"Princess, it's getting a little cold at night. You should go and get some rest."

Murong Wenjing shook her head and said, "I want to be alone for a while."

After hearing this, the maid next to her helped Murong Wenjing sit down.

"Everyone, go away. The princess wants to be alone."

After hearing this, Murong Wenjing also waved her hand and said, "Let's all go. Rong'er is with me."

"Yes."

After hearing Murong Wenjing say this, the palace maids all took their leave.

Shen Jinyao pulled Shen Leyao aside.

But they retreated behind the tree and stopped.

Shen Leyao looked at Shen Jinyao in confusion.

Shen Jinyao pointed forward.

From this position, you can see Murong Wenjing in the distance.

Shen Leyao whispered in a low voice: "Sister, should we move forward a little?"

You can see and hear it here, but you can't hear it at all.

Shen Jinyao also knew that if she hid here, she would not hear anything.

Although the eldest princess only has a maid by her side, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no secret guards around her.

I can only hide in the distance and observe.

Shen Jinyao looked at Murong Wenjing in the distance, and after everyone left, she spoke to the maid beside her.

Naturally they can't hear what you say.

"Big sister, look!"

A man appeared next to Murong Wenjing in front.

Shen Jinyao looked carefully and saw that the man was carrying a knife.

Anyone who can walk around in the palace with a sword must be a palace guard.

The man stayed with Murong Wenjing for a very short time, as if he was passing on a message.

But Shen Jinyao felt that Murong Wenjing's face looked bad since the man left.

She heard from Xiang Hongxuan that the eldest prince's death was due to a health problem.

Murong Wenjing stood up and followed the maid.

"Go, follow."

Shen Leyao felt very excited and was not afraid at all.

She followed Shen Jinyao closely, fearing that she would be left behind.

Shen Jinyao was very careful to control the distance between them.

When Murong Wenjing and the other person stopped, Shen Jinyao and Shen Leyao quickly hid themselves.

"Rong'er..."

The maid Rong'er stopped and looked at Murong Wenjing with some concern.

"Princess..."

Murong Wenjing shook her head, "Don't worry."

Then she opened the door and walked in.

Shen Jinyao looked carefully and found that Murong Wenjing had entered an abandoned palace.

There were no lights in the palace.

There's no one around.

"Sister, what is she doing here?"

Shen Jinyao shook her head.

Her eyes were fixed on the front, afraid of missing something.

"somebody is coming."

Shen Jinyao looked at a man who suddenly appeared. The man was tall and had a cloak on his head.

The door opened and the man walked in.

This person must be a man.

He is still a man of some status.

The guard who appeared just now should have come to deliver a message to this man.

Murong Wenjing is having a secret meeting with a man?

Shen Jinyao stared at the front. She had a hunch that this matter was related to the death of the eldest prince.

But she really couldn't figure it out.

As a princess of a country, what kind of man can't you want?

She heard that many princesses had male lovers.

Is it difficult for Murong Wenjing to support a man?

The old king is dead, is there anyone who will care about her?

suddenly!

A woman's scream was heard in the room, followed by the sound of tables and benches colliding.

The woman's voice became more and more miserable.

"Stand still!"

Shen Jinyao threw down these words and flew out.

When she kicked the door open, she saw the man hugging Murong Wenjing.

Murong Wenjing resisted in great pain.

It was obvious that neither of them expected the door to be opened.

Shen Jinyao took the opportunity to kick the man in the stomach.

Who knew that man was also good at martial arts?

After a few moves, Shen Jinyao felt that this person's kung fu was not inferior to hers.

She was worried that it would attract the Qiang guards.

She grabbed a handful of dust from the air and sprinkled it into the man's eyes.

Men can naturally see through this little trick.

He subconsciously blocked it with his arm.

This gave Shen Jinyao an opportunity. She grabbed Murong Wenjing's arm and ran out with her.

Shen Jinyao looked back several times and saw the man running out of the door in a panic, but she didn't catch up with him.

"No, I can't do it anymore."

Murong Wenjing gasped and shouted at Shen Jinyao to stop.

After hearing this, Shen Jinyao stopped.

Of course, I still feel a little strange, but I can’t tell what’s strange about it.

"Princess, are we safe now?"

Shen Jinyao felt that when she went to rescue Murong Wenjing, she had already decided to get close to her.

"Princess, princess."

It seemed like the princess's maid came looking for her.

Murong Wenjing didn't respond, but said to Shen Jinyao with a serious face, "If you tell anyone about what just happened, you'll be dead."

"I can't protect you."

It’s not really a small white flower.

Look, is this the attitude you should take towards your savior?
