Simply skipping the topic, Gardenia took a bite of the candied haws and asked about another thing.
"Will Shen Yang come with you this time?"
Hearing her name, Shen Nanqing frowned unconsciously, but finally agreed.
I don’t know what she said to her father. The prime minister asked her to take him with him, saying that the two of them would be taken care of during the journey.
She had found some clues in the past few days, and with this incident, Shen Nanqing already had a certain understanding of this concubine, at least she was not as harmless as she seemed on the surface.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tell the little girl.
"You should have less contact with Shen Yang, especially since this trip has a complicated number of people. If she gets into any trouble because of this, you should try to avoid it and don't worry about me and the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Gardenia blinked her eyes and nodded.
While talking, the two of them went shopping in the shops on the street. Gardenia also deliberately took her on a detour to a store where Shen Yang had been.
Seeing that it was her, the person in charge quickly came over with a smile.
"Little princess, I haven't seen you for a long time. There just happened to be a few new styles. Can I have someone take them out for a look?"
Seeing the little girl passing by happily, Shen Nanqing smiled and took his maid to look around.
After taking a few steps, her eyes suddenly fell on a hairpin, and her expression paused.
The maid on the side looked at it, and then murmured in a low voice.
"Miss, why does this style look familiar?"
Shen Nanqing withdrew his gaze and pondered in his heart.
Doesn't it look familiar? It's obvious that the style was specially chosen, or the style she chose when she accompanied her mother.
What's more, the lady in the prime minister's house has plenty of money, so no one will pawn their jewelry for this.
She suppressed the thoughts in her eyes, just waved for someone to come over, took out the hairpin and looked at it.
The other party didn't have time to put it away. Hearing this, he first let her take a look before explaining.
"There is only one of this style, and it is not for sale at the moment. Miss, why don't you look at other styles."
Shen Nanqing nodded, put down the hairpin, and turned to look for the little girl.
…
After that, the capital was peaceful, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The summer is hot, and His Majesty organized the palace people to go to the summer resort as usual.
In addition to the concubines and concubines in the harem, many favored princes and princesses also came. With the addition of some high-ranking ladies and young men, the lineup was quite powerful.
But when they saw that Huo Lichi was leading the team, many people were a little surprised and felt that this trip would not be that simple.
It turns out that this feeling is not wrong.
The large army had only taken a few steps when they suddenly heard movement in front, followed by the sound of arrows cutting through the air.
All this happened very quickly. Everyone only heard someone groan, and then he fell to the ground. After a while, there were screams from the palace people.
"Someone is coming! There is an assassination attempt. Come and protect him!"
Hearing the movement, the team suddenly fell into chaos. The surrounding soldiers hurriedly surrounded the convoy. For a while, they could only hear the roar of horses and the sound of swords, and then the smell of blood gradually became stronger in the air.
In the convoy at the back, Suzuran was shocked when she saw Gardenia getting out of the carriage.
"Princess, there is danger outside, please hide."
The little girl frowned and pulled her sleeves.
"You stay here, I'll go out and take a look, and I'll be back soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, she got on the horse and disappeared quickly with the sound of horse hooves.
Suzuran stood there a little anxious, but after looking at the soldiers around her, she finally gritted her teeth and followed the little girl's instructions before, turning around and heading towards the carriage of the Prime Minister's Palace.
