Princess Anping, who was being served absentmindedly, flashed her eyes and frowned slightly.
Has General Huo appeared too frequently around Ning Le recently?
…
Shen Nanqing caught Shen Yang on the way. At that time, she was being bullied. She was wet and splashed with water, and she looked in a miserable state.
When she passed by, the noble lady was leaving with her maid in a swaggering manner. Shen Nanqing's eyes lingered on the side of that person's face for a moment, feeling a little familiar.
Before she could think about it, Shen Yang was already supported by the maid and walked to her with tears in his eyes.
"Sister..."
Shen Nanqing retracted his thoughts and only looked at her with a frown. He did not immediately ask who the person was, but asked calmly.
"What are you doing here?"
Shen Yang lowered his head and spoke softly.
"I just wanted to meet His Highness the Crown Prince to thank him for his kindness last time. I didn't expect to meet a noble lady on the way... I am of low status and did not resist..."
Shen Nanqing selectively ignored those unimportant words, suppressed his doubts in his heart, and only gave instructions quietly.
"Go and change your clothes and go back to the palace for the banquet. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later. Your Majesty and the Queen are all here at this time. How dare you, a minister, be absent."
After saying that, he turned around and called the two palace servants over, asking them to take Shen Yang back to the courtyard to change clothes.
She said she was leading the way, but she had been here all afternoon, and there were no palace people on the road. Wherever she needed someone to follow her, it was clear that she was trying to keep her from causing any trouble.
As if he knew he had been seen through, Shen Yang responded and handed her a handkerchief before leaving.
"Sister, I just picked this up on the road. I don't know which noble lady it is. If anyone comes to find it, please help me to hand it over to you."
Shen Nanqing looked down at it for a moment and then took it.
It wasn't until Shen Yang was taken away that she walked back in silence. Then she realized that she had been led astray. When she turned around, she saw that her maid had been sent away at some point.
After a while, her head began to feel dizzy. She bit the tip of her tongue, guessed that she had fallen into the trap, threw away the palace man, and staggered in another direction.
At this time, most of the palace banquet was already going on. When the dance ended, many young ladies took the opportunity to come out to breathe, and waited for the princes to take their seats before the second half began.
It was at this moment that the embarrassed Shen Yang burst into everyone's sight, but the people present did not pay much attention to him. They simply glanced at him and looked away due to concerns about his reputation.
Although someone just splashed water on his face, with water stains on his hair and clothes, no one dared to stare too much. It would be bad if he was blamed for this.
What's more, although the other party is a concubine, she also carries the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if she is watching the fun, she can't be so obvious.
At most, the ladies gathered around and taunted each other.
Princess Anping, on the other hand, looked at her maid calmly and whispered instructions.
"Let people follow."
The maid nodded and quietly retreated to arrange things.
…
Hearing the calls from the palace people behind him, Shen Nanqing, who was dizzy, quickly held on to the door. She felt cold all over. She took out her hairpin with determination and touched her arm.
The pain made her briefly clear for a moment, and she staggered to find the most remote room. She only had time to close the door before she collapsed unable to hold on any longer.
There was no light in the room, and the surroundings were pitch black. Only the shadows of items could be vaguely seen through the moonlight outside, which seemed to be used to pile up debris.
Shen Nanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt dizzy uncontrollably.
Should she be lucky that it was just a drug?
He curled his lips mockingly, and just as he was about to do it to himself again, he saw a figure coming in from the window, and he looked like a man.
