Just like that, Nangong Waner was trapped in the Prince Zhan Palace, and lived his life like a pig. Although the rules in the Palace were strict, no one dared to talk about it too much, and this matter was still known by people with ulterior motives.
The manager's mother had already received the news early in the morning from a spy buried in the Prince's Mansion.
”Pavilion Master, Assistant Minister’s Residence's eldest miss, Nangong Waner, did not return for several days during the night and always slept in Chu Xiuhan's room. This subordinate was not able to find out about the matters within the room, but from hearing the discussions in the palace, it seems that there will soon be an imperial concubine who should be Nangong Waner.” A well-trained and well-organized person quietly entered the manager's mother's room and respectfully stood by the side as he spoke.
The manager mother of the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion was sitting there sagely with a solemn look on her face. She didn't have the usual mother who would usually warmly welcome guests. She raised her eyelids slightly, and asked the person who had just entered the house to report in deeply: ”Like you said, Su Xiangxiang's chess piece is probably broken, will it be feasible for us to get rid of him? So far, only the few of us are left in the Prince's Mansion? ”
In reply to Pavilion Master, Chu Xiuhan himself is unfathomably deep, even the few of us who have exchanged blows with him at the border do not have a clear understanding of his Qi, and for the past few years, the informants that my Hundred Aroma Pavilion painstakingly planted within our palace have been few in number.
Hearing the spy's words, manager's mother pondered for a while. She had thought that Su Xiangxiang was a good move, but she hadn't thought that she would be disturbed so quickly, ”I know, if we can't kill Chu Xiuhan, then we'll just kill him. We still have to plan carefully, go back and continue watching carefully.”
As soon as manager's mother finished speaking, that person's figure quickly disappeared.
She took a look at the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion, which was filled with guests, and realised that it was bustling with noise and excitement all day long. She then looked at the street opposite the window, which was filled with people coming and going on the streets, the hawkers who were shouting loudly and the gradually warming climate, ”Spring is about to come.”
”In the blink of an eye, almost thirty years have passed in Tian Sheng.” manager's mother's face was now filled with fatigue and sadness. The vigor from before and her usual enthusiasm had completely disappeared. She was only quietly standing by the window, as if lost in her memories.
At that time, she was still Wu Zhen of the Wu Family. At that time, she was still the last hope for the recovery of the Wu Family. Even Wu Xing's Wu family's Wu family was looking forward to the day when Wu Zhen would be able to bring the Wu Family to glory.
She had carried too much hope for the Wu family. Her father trained her very hard every day, and she never dared to complain or complain about being tired. She was just as her father had expected.
It was just that he did not expect that the first to arrive would be the old enmity of the Wu family. Wu Zhen fell into an ambush and fled in a panic, his body covered with injuries. He ran all the way to the outskirts of Shangjing City. Seeing his enemies chasing after him, Wu Zhen thought tiredly, ”It's good that he died just like that.”
Just as Wu Zhen closed his eyes and decided not to resist anymore, she suddenly heard someone in a calm mood berating her. ”How dare you, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, openly commit murder. Is there still any law?”
Wu Zhen quickly opened his eyes and looked toward the source of the voice.
In the distance, she saw a beautifully dressed man shouting at the group of enemies that had previously forced her down. From the back of his head, she could tell that he was out of the ordinary.
Wu Zhen lowered his head to look at his sorry figure. His whole body was covered in blood and he couldn't bear to look at him directly.
It was unknown what that person said to her enemies, but the group of vicious men immediately retreated in fear.
After Wu Zhen's enemies had retreated far away, the man in gorgeous clothes turned around and walked towards Wu Zhen with a smile on his face.
”Such a good-looking girl, yet they still have the heart to kill her. Truly despicable.” The man didn't seem to mind the blood stains on Wu Zhen's body. He took out a snow-white brocade handkerchief and wiped away the blood stains on Wu Zhen's face. ”What a good-looking girl.” The man looked at Wu Zhen with a smile on his face, praising him.
Wu Zhen had grown up among the men of the Wu family. His food and clothing had always been according to the standard of a man. Other than the fact that the Wu family members would occasionally praise her improvement in martial arts over the years, he had never … Who ever said she was good-looking? She even forgot that she was indeed still a girl.
