Dongzhan held his breath and raised his ears again, but after listening for a long time, he couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.
All he knew was that the two men were speaking.
After a while, Shen Qianyi turned around and left in the other direction.
The person he was talking to also came out from the side of the tree, but the person was wearing a black cloak or a hat. His whole body was huddled in the cloak, and it was dark again, so even if he had night vision, It's probably impossible to see clearly.
The man looked around and left.
After all their figures disappeared from sight, Ruan Tang turned to look at Dongzhan and asked expectantly: "How was it? What did you hear?"
Dongzhan scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I didn't hear that."
"..."
"Didn't you say you could listen and argue?"
"...Yes, but..." But that's just location identification. If you can hear a sound from such a distance, you're lucky.
But Dongzhan didn't dare to say it.
Ruan Tang was speechless and had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the banquet.
When we returned to the banquet, everyone had begun to enjoy the moon freely, and some people formed groups to play games together.
Ruan Tang searched around but didn't see Chu Mu. She had no other familiar people here, so she had no choice but to kneel down again next to Chu Mu's position just now.
She glanced at the jug and felt like drinking, but she didn't have the guts to drink.
She still clearly remembered the last birthday party of the Empress Dowager. She mistakenly thought that the fruit wine was not high in alcohol content, but ended up drinking it so much that she almost fell unconscious and was almost ruined by Shen Qianyi.
She was scared when she thought about it, and now that Chu Mu was not around, she didn't dare to drink.
Ruan Tang sat for a while and felt that it was really boring, so he had to stand up.
Dongzhan, who had been standing not far behind her, saw this and quickly walked to her side.
"Miss Ruan, where are you going?"
Ruan Tang shook his head, "Do you know where your highness has gone?"
Dongzhan shook his head, "But I can ask other people, please wait here for a while."
"Okay." Ruan Tang nodded.
Dongzhan walked for a while and came back soon.
"Miss Ruan, the Empress Dowager suddenly suffered from a headache just now. Your Highness sent your empress back to the palace. How about your subordinates take you to Shou'an Palace to find him?"
It was boring here anyway, Ruan Tang nodded and followed Dong Zhan to Shou'an Palace.
Although Chu Mu had brought her here once today, she still couldn't find the direction because the palace was so big. If it hadn't been for Dong Zhan, she would have definitely gotten lost.
No wonder Chu Mu told her not to run around.
Two quarters of an hour later, the two finally arrived at Shou'an Palace.
When the guards at the door of Shouan Palace saw Dong Zhan, they all raised their hands and saluted, "I see you, Lord Dong Zhan."
Dongzhan waved his hand, "Is Your Highness here?"
But the two guards shook their heads, "His Highness has left, and you haven't met him?"
Dongzhan also shook his head, and then looked at Ruan Tang, "Miss Ruan, do we still want to look for her?"
Ruan Tang was a little confused. They had no idea where Chu Mu had gone. And the palace is so big, where can it be so easy to find?
"Forget it, why don't you trouble Lord Dongzhan to send me out of the palace?"
For Chu Mu, this palace was his second home, and she didn't have to worry about him.
However, he disappeared without explaining anything, and Ruan Tang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
If Ruan Tang really wanted to continue looking for Chu Mu, Dong Zhan didn't know how to do it. Now that she said she was not looking for Chu Mu, he was relieved and immediately agreed to send her back.
Dong Zhan took her back to the banquet, and after a few explanations with the brothers on duty here, he took Ruan Tang out of the palace.
Dongzhan has already told him that he will send Ruan Tang back first in the palace's carriage.
Therefore, he took Ruan Tang directly to the carriage where Ruan Tang and Chu Mu came.
After Ruan Tang got on the carriage, Dong Zhan sat in the driver's seat and drove the carriage.
As Ruan Tang sat in the car, he felt that the car was empty for the first time, and then he realized that the car was so big that it could accommodate many people.
When she and Chu Mu sat together before, she always felt cramped, as if no matter where she sat, she felt that Chu Mu was surrounding her.
The carriage staggered forward, and the rings on the outside of the carriage jingled. Ruan Tang suddenly felt that the sound was full of loneliness.
Ruan Tang was bored, so he had to rest in the carriage with his eyes closed and calm down.
Tonight, for some reason, her heart started to beat for no reason. Even when she was sitting in the carriage, she couldn't rest for a while.
But the carriage that was going smoothly suddenly stopped, and the horse was stopped hastily.
Ruan Tang almost fell down on the carpet due to inertia. After she stabilized her body, she couldn't help but ask outside: "What's wrong?"
Dong Zhan waited for a while before speaking: "Miss Ruan, please wait a moment. Someone has stopped the carriage. I'll go down and take a look."
Xu Shi had experienced several assassinations. When Ruan Tang heard someone blocking the car, he suddenly became panicked.
She subconsciously searched the car for weapons to defend herself.
She suddenly remembered that Chu Mu's sleeve arrows seemed to be hidden in the wooden cabinet under the cushions.
She took the mat away and opened the wooden cabinet, and sure enough she saw a pair of small and exquisite sleeve arrows inside.
She quickly took it out, put the cushion back in place, and then pointed the arrow in her sleeve toward the exit of the carriage.
But as soon as she took her position, Dong Zhan's voice came from outside, "Miss Ruan, please come out and help me."
Ruan Tang was confused, but still opened the curtain and looked outside.
When he saw the carriage, Dongzhan was supporting Chu Mu, but Chu Mu seemed to be injured.
She was surprised and frightened, so she quickly dropped her sleeve arrows, quickly moved out of the carriage, and went to help Dong Zhan pull Chu Mu into the carriage.
After getting him into the car, Ruan Tang discovered that the pants and clothes on his legs were stained red. She lifted them up and saw that there was a stab wound on his leg.
"What's going on? Why are you injured?" Ruan Tang asked hurriedly.
This is the palace, and he is the prince. Why would anyone be so bold as to commit an assassination in the palace?
But why was it that for such a big thing as the assassination of the prince, neither she nor Dong Zhan saw the Imperial Guards coming and going?
"Let's get out of the palace first." Chu Mu looked solemn on his face.
But seeing Ruan Tang's face full of concern for him, he felt relieved and immediately shook her hand.
"My king is fine. I inflicted this knife wound myself. It was measured and did not hurt any vital parts. It was just a superficial wound."
"You pricked yourself? Why did you prick yourself?"
Ruan Tang asked in confusion, and saw an unnatural look flash across Chu Mu's face.
Then she noticed something was wrong with his skin color, from his face to his neck to his ears, it was all red.
Logically speaking, if he was injured, even if it didn't hurt his vitals, he would still bleed a lot, so he should be pale.
Not only is it no longer white now, it is even more rosy.
Something flashed through Ruan Tang's mind, and then he looked at him in disbelief, "You..."
