When Nanny Zhang and others heard the noise, they rushed in and saw Shangguan Xiaoxiao pressing Shangguan Wanning under her and strangling her neck tightly.
Nanny Zhang was horrified and rushed over to pull Shangguan Xiaoxiao away.
Shangguan Wanning has fainted.
"Miss..."
Lu Tong rushed over and hugged Shangguan Wan Ning, unable to hold back her tears. "Wow... Second Miss, you are so cruel. The eldest lady came to see you out of kindness, but you treated her like this..."
Aunt Zhang was also somewhat at a loss, and said tremblingly: "Quick...quickly call the palace doctor to take a look at Miss Shangguan."
"Madam Zhang, my eldest daughter is Princess An Ning, who was personally conferred the title by the Emperor. She is also a royal daughter, and not just any doctor can treat her."
"This... Of course I know this. Then... summon the imperial physician?"
Nanny Zhang didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
"If we summon the imperial physician..." Lu Tong paused and said, "My eldest daughter came to visit her sister, but was strangled to death. If this matter were to spread, it would be bad for my master's reputation."
Nanny Zhang felt much relieved.
It turns out that this little girl didn't dare to make a big deal out of it.
"Then... Miss Lutong, what do you think we should do?"
"I also trust the doctors in the Prince Qin's mansion. Please find the best one. If the eldest lady wakes up soon, there will be nothing to say. If she can't wake up for the time being, please send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inform her that the eldest lady should stay to accompany the second lady."
When Shangguan Xiaoxiao heard this, she became alert.
"Okay, okay, that's the best."
Nanny Zhang immediately sent for the palace physician, and found two experienced and prudent maids to carry Shangguan Wanning to the guest room.
Lu Tong stayed by his side all the time until the court doctor finished treating him and left.
She walked to Madam Zhang's side and said in a low voice, "Madam, you are a person the prince trusts, and you should know how the prince feels about my eldest daughter."
Nanny Zhang was stunned, not quite understanding what it meant, and could only nod.
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you, the prison nanny. You have to take care of my young lady. Otherwise, if the prince blames us, none of us will be able to bear the consequences."
Nanny Zhang discovered that although the little girl Lutong was young, she was very thoughtful.
"Don't worry, I will personally go to the kitchen to watch over Miss Shangguan's medicine later."
"Thank you very much."
Lu Tong smiled sweetly.
Shangguan Wanning had been in a coma for the entire day, and both Nanny Zhang and the court physician were beginning to become worried.
It was not until late at night that Lu Tong sent everyone away and walked to Shangguan Wanning, carefully pulling out a silver needle from her arm.
After a while, Shangguan Wanning opened her eyes, sat up, and stretched her muscles.
"My lady, next time don't give me this kind of work. It's so scary."
Lu Tong's hands and feet almost went weak as she handed the long silver needle back.
"I'm not afraid of giving you my life, so what are you afraid of?" Shangguan Wanning poked Lutong's forehead and put away the silver needle.
She used acupuncture to put herself into a coma, and even the court doctor did not notice anything unusual.
"Of course I am afraid. What if..."
Before Lutong could finish her words, Shangguan Wanning handed over a silver note.
When Lu Tong saw it, an excited smile immediately appeared in his brows, but then he restrained himself.
"Miss, I also have principles, please don't bring silver..."
Another one.
"How is it? Is this okay?"
Lu Tong took the banknote and immediately stuffed it into his sleeve. "That's enough, principles can be adjusted appropriately."
Shangguan Wanning looked at her greedy and confused appearance, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I'm going to do some serious work now. You stay in the room and act accordingly. Be alert, okay?"
"Don't worry, young lady, I'll do the job." Lu Tong patted her chest and promised.
Shangguan Wanning changed into a set of dark and light clothes and quietly left the room under the cover of Lutong.
She had already figured out the patrol routes of the guards in Prince Qin's Palace in advance, and successfully avoided their eyes and came to Xiao Zhenting's study.
Just yesterday, Zheng Binghong told Shangguan Wanning that the barbarians sent envoys to sneak into the Central Plains and secretly gave something to Xiao Zhenting.
Shangguan Wanning knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Maybe there was something she was looking for in it.
It’s just right that Xiao Zhenting is not in the capital, so he can steal the things.
Shangguan Wanning sneaked into Xiao Zhenting's study. She didn't dare to light a candle, but looked around carefully in the moonlight coming in from the window.
That thing came from the Barbarians, so it must be very secretive. Xiao Zhenting would not put it in a conspicuous place, so...
Shangguan Wanning shifted her gaze to the antique vase on the bookshelf.
In her previous life, she followed Xiao Zhenting for a period of time and had some understanding of his habits.
She walked over slowly, and when she passed the desk, she found that the documents on the desk were a little messy.
Shangguan Wanning couldn't help but be stunned.
Did someone come here before her, or... was it just like that?
She was confused and could not help but quicken her pace, grabbing the antique vase and gently turning it around.
The bookshelf slowly turned, revealing four hidden compartments in parallel.
Shangguan Wanning immediately stepped forward to open the secret compartments. Three of the compartments contained gold, silver, jewelry and some contracts, and the other compartment contained a small black ball.
She took out the box and opened it. There was a letter inside with the emblem of the Barbarian Tribe on the envelope.
Shangguan Wanning was overjoyed.
"That's it."
She was about to check what was under the envelope when she suddenly heard messy and noisy footsteps outside the door.
The torches lit up the outside, and even the lights in the house were brightened.
The study was surrounded.
"Enclose the study room. Not even a mosquito can fly out."
It was Shangguan Xiaoxiao's voice.
Shangguan Wan Ning clenched her fists, gritting her teeth in hatred for this sister who was always causing trouble but could not do anything helpful.
"Today I want to see who is so bold as to come to the Qin Palace to steal things."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao always felt it was strange. She clearly didn't use much force, but Shangguan Wanning fell into a coma.
With such strict family education in the Shangguan family, how could they allow the unmarried Shangguan Wanning to stay overnight in the Prince of Qin's Mansion?
To outsiders, it may seem like the reason for accompanying the frail sister is legitimate, but they both know very well that they don't have that deep of a friendship.
The spy that Shangguan Xiaoxiao arranged to monitor Shangguan Wanning had reported to her, and she knew that Shangguan Wanning was inside.
"If you don't want to die, just come out of the study room. Otherwise, when the guards shoot you like an arrow and turn you into a hedgehog, you won't have a place to cry out for justice in the underworld."
Shangguan Wanning's face turned pale. She had no choice but to surrender temporarily. As for how to explain...
