The room was a bit stuffy, and she was just about to get out of bed to open the window for ventilation, when suddenly there was a sound of fighting outside the room.
"Who dares to trespass into Prince Xiang's mansion?"
Immediately afterwards, Wang Houde's voice came.
Wen Rongyong was surprised, there was an assassin at such a late hour
She was just about to get out of bed when Lu Qiao, who was on duty at night, hurried in with a coat draped over her shoulders.
"Miss, are you all right?"
Wen Rongjun shook his head, "I'm fine, what's going on outside, what happened, I seem to have heard an assassin."
Lu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, she stepped forward and said, "I just went out to have a look. It's the Taoist priest Lingyin. I don't know what happened, but he managed to escape the heavy guards of the palace and find this place."
"Daoist Lingyin?" Wen Rongrong was deeply surprised, "What is he doing here?"
Lu Qiao shook her head, "I don't know, but judging by his aggressive appearance, he probably wanted to harm the young lady. Fortunately, Bai Li and Wang Gonggong were guarding, otherwise he would have barged in."
Wen Rongjun pondered for a while, and then said helplessly: "The last time Daoist Lingyin took Shen Qingning away, there was no news. I thought the master and apprentice had figured it out and left Xiangzhou.
But looking at it now, Shen Qingning did not survive, so the Taoist Lingyin should have blamed Shen Qingning's death on me, and he was seeking revenge on me. "
Hearing this, Lu Qiao said in disbelief, "What does Shen Qingning's death have to do with Miss? Is he crazy?"
"The thinking of this pair of master and apprentice has always been different from that of ordinary people." Wen Rongjun sighed.
While the master and servant were talking in the room, Wang Houde and Bai Li had already repelled Taoist Lingyin.
Hearing that the fighting outside had stopped, Wen Rongjun asked Lvqiao to invite the two of them in for questioning.
After a while, Wang Houde and Bai Li walked in.
"The assassin just now was the priest of Lingyin?" Wen Yunong asked.
"Exactly." Wang Houde replied, "Your Majesty, don't worry, we have already forced the old Taoist Lingyin to retreat."
Wen Rongjun nodded, thought for a while, and then asked: "Do you know the purpose of his coming here?"
Wang Houde didn't answer immediately, he was thinking about his words.
Seeing this, Wen Yunjun looked at Bai Li, "Bai Li, tell me."
Bai Li didn't see Wang Houde's wink at her, and said bluntly: "When Taoist Lingyin left, he threatened to come again, and he said he must, must kill the princess..." When it came to the latter, she also felt uncomfortable. Yes, with some hesitation.
Wang Houde: "..."
He stroked his forehead, this girl is really upright.
Hearing this, Wen Rongrong was not very surprised, "Then, if he kills me, he won't give up."
Wang Houde quickly comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the palace is heavily guarded, and there are servants and Bai Li who are constantly on duty, even if the Taoist Lingyin has great abilities, it is impossible for him to get close to your Majesty."
"With you guys here, I'm not worried." Wen Rongjun nodded and said with a relaxed face.
Seeing this, Wang Houde was secretly relieved.
Before the master left, he repeatedly told him to protect the empress and not let her make any mistakes. Although the assassin was chased away by them, he was afraid that the assassin's collision would make the empress worry and affect her mood.
Seeing that she was not affected by the assassin at this time, she was naturally relieved.
"My lady, don't think about it too much. Let's rest early. The servant will leave."
"The assassin has already left, you should go and rest too." Wen Yunong said.
"Yes." Wang Houde responded and withdrew.
Bai Li then went out as well.
As soon as she walked outside the door, she saw Wang Houde standing under the eaves waving to her.
She paused, and walked over as she said.
"Do you have something to tell me?" Bai Li asked while holding the sword.
Wang Houde looked at her innocent face, ignorant of the ways of the world, and said helplessly: "The empress is pregnant, and the prince is not here. It's different than usual. Don't say something in front of her, lest she worry."
Bai Li was stunned for a moment, "But the princess wants to know, I can't hide it from her..."
Wang Houde squeezed the space between his eyebrows, "It's good for her to keep some things from her. Do you understand?"
Bai Li shook her head, "I don't understand. I don't think it's a good thing to be kept in the dark alone, and the princess is not an ordinary person, she can bear it well."
Wang Houde: "..."
Seeing that he was choked to the point of being speechless, Bai Li felt a little proud, and turned to leave, but he grabbed his collar.
"What are you doing?" She turned around, glaring.
"Nothing." Wang Houde smiled, "It's just that there is a new restaurant in the city. I heard that their crispy duck is very delicious. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it's not greasy at all. I wanted to take it with me. You went to eat, but it doesn't seem necessary right now."
Hearing this, Baili subconsciously licked her lips.
Seeing her small movements, Wang Houde smiled, let go, turned and left.
Seeing this, Bai Li quickly grabbed his sleeve.
"What's the matter, what's the matter with Miss Baili?" Wang Houde pretended to be puzzled.
"That..." Baili hesitated.
"What?" Wang Houde pretended to be listening quietly.
"What's the name of the restaurant that makes crispy duck?" Bai Li couldn't hold back, swallowed, and asked.
Wang Houde couldn't help laughing, this girl is really a foodie.
"Then did you understand what I told you earlier?" He asked.
Bai Li was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"
"Think about it carefully." Wang Houde said patiently.
Bai Li quickly thought of it, and immediately said: "I didn't understand just now, but now I understand." After a pause, he made a promise, "Next time in front of the princess, I will think it over before speaking."
The corner of Wang Houde's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but raised his hand to touch her head, "That's right, you should obediently listen to other people's advice."
Bai Li was stunned for a moment, seeing that he was about to leave, she immediately said: "That crispy duck..."
"I'll buy it for you tomorrow." Wang Houde smiled.
Bai Li felt relieved.
the next day.
"Miss, it's time for lunch." Lu Qiao and Nanny Ding walked into the room with their lunch.
During this period of time, Wen Rong's appetite was not very good. Hearing that he had lunch, he lost interest, so he lay on the soft couch and did not move for a long time.
Seeing this, Lu Qiao walked over to help her up, "Grandpa Wang knew that the lady had a bad appetite, so he sent someone to buy the crispy duck. I heard that the crispy duck was very good. Many people lined up to buy it. Miss, go and taste it."
Hearing this, Wen Rongrong was aroused a little bit of interest.
She hasn't eaten outside food for a long time, and she eats very lightly every day. Although it is a nutritious meal specially ordered by Fuchu for her, she still gets tired of eating every day.
Hearing that there was crispy duck to eat, she immediately got up and sat down at the table.
Nanny Ding put the crispy duck into a bowl for her, "Miss, eat quickly."
Wen Rongjun nodded.
Seeing that she was eating deliciously, Nanny Ding couldn't help but said: "Although the crispy duck is delicious, you should not eat too much. Miss, please drink some fish soup." She started to serve her a bowl and put it in front of her.
