Shangguan Wanning's mind was working quickly, but Shangguan Xiaoxiao outside did not give her much time to think.
A sharp arrow shot in, and Shangguan Wanning had no time to dodge. Just as it was about to hit her between the eyebrows, she felt her whole body lighten and she was picked up.
Immediately afterwards, two dark shadows flashed by and rushed out of the window.
Shangguan Wanning was held by someone and hid on the beam with her mouth covered.
Outside the door, there was the sound of weapons clashing.
She never imagined that there was someone else in the study.
Shangguan Wanning couldn't help but feel cold all over, with cold sweat breaking out on her back.
When did these people come in? Or were they already here before she came?
The fighting gradually stopped, and Shangguan Xiaoxiao rushed in with her men.
She didn't seem to give up and growled, "Search."
The guards searched every corner, including the cabinets, and checked every place where someone could hide.
No? No?
Shangguan Xiaoxiao couldn't believe it. Her people clearly saw Shangguan Wanning enter the study room, so how could she be alone?
Are the two men in black who just escaped her accomplices?
Shangguan Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled, and she turned around and walked out again.
In an instant, the study returned to silence.
Shangguan Wanning was carried and jumped down.
She was so nervous that every pore in her body tightened. She turned back quickly and met a pair of deep eyes.
"Jing Rui?"
Mu Jingrui's heart moved slightly and he took off the black scarf covering his face.
This woman treated him...
You can recognize it as him just by his eyes.
"What on earth are you doing?"
Shangguan Wan Ning was about to explain when she suddenly remembered something. "I don't have time to explain to you. Xiao Xiao will definitely go to my room to check. I have to go back immediately."
She stuffed the box she found into Mu Jingrui's hand. "I think this is why you came here."
Mu Jingrui and Shangguan Wanning indeed have the same goal.
He and his trusted men broke into the Qin Palace at night to look for the things sent by the barbarians, but he couldn't find anything after searching the entire study.
He hid when he heard someone approaching, but to his surprise, the person was Shangguan Wanning.
And Shangguan Wanning seemed to know the mechanism in Xiao Zhenting's study.
"I'm leaving now, be careful."
Shangguan Wanning turned to leave, but Mu Jingrui grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
"It's too late for you to go back now."
Shangguan Wanning's thoughts suddenly became a little confused. It seems that she needs to come up with a decent excuse...
"Come with me."
Mu Jingrui took Shangguan Wanning out of the study.
"Second Miss, it's so late... why are you here?"
Lu Tong came out to meet Shangguan Xiaoxiao when she walked to the door, and stood in front of her intentionally or unintentionally.
"I was worried about my sister, so I came to check on her." Shangguan Xiaoxiao said as she was about to rush in.
Midoriya always kept her duty in mind and blocked the door with her arms outstretched.
"Second Miss, don't worry. The eldest lady has already woken up and just took the medicine prescribed by the palace doctor and went back to sleep. She has instructed not to be disturbed by anyone. She will return home early tomorrow morning."
"You stupid girl, you are so brave that you dare to block my way?"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao pushed Lutong away heavily.
Lu Tong was caught off guard and fell to the ground. Her hand twisted when it landed on the ground and she burst into tears in pain.
"Second Miss, you..."
"Hmph, it's not certain whether my sister is in there or not. If she's not..." Shangguan Xiaoxiao became furious when she thought of the oppression she had suffered over the years.
"If my sister is not in the room in the middle of the night, it is hard to tell whether she is stealing something or a man."
"How can I wear such a big hat when my sister puts it on me?"
Shangguan Wanning opened the door of the room. She was wearing silk pajamas, with her long hair hanging down and a lazy look in her eyes.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao was stunned.
"You...how did you...get out from inside?"
"Look at what my sister said. Of course I was sleeping in my room in the middle of the night. If I don't come out from inside, then where should I come out from?"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao suffered a loss again.
"Sister, the prince is not here, and there is no princess to take care of the housework. It seems that it is not a wise move for me to stay overnight at the Prince Qin's mansion to accompany you."
Shangguan Wanning squatted down and helped Lutong up, with a hint of coldness in the corner of her eyes.
"Since my sister doesn't welcome me, I'll just go back."
Shangguan Wanning rubbed Lutong's sprained hand and said, "Lutong, pack your things, let's go."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao was sure that Shangguan Wanning must have been to Xiao Zhenting's study.
Moreover, she is so eager to leave now, which means she must have achieved her goal.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao had a bad feeling.
"Sister, I was wrong. If you go back overnight and Dad and Auntie find out, they will definitely think that I neglected you, then..."
"You are neglecting me." Shangguan Wanning interrupted Shangguan Xiaoxiao, "But don't worry, you can still go back to your mother's house in the future. Who says my mother has a good heart?"
Shangguan Wanning ignored Shangguan Xiaoxiao's obstruction and ordered Lutong to wake up the coachman. When Shangguan Xiaoxiao was helpless, she drove away.
She did not go back home directly, but asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the west bridgehead.
Lutong found an excuse to send the driver away, and Shangguan Wanning walked towards the artificial lake.
Mu Jingrui was waiting by the lake, watching Shangguan Wanning's graceful figure walking towards him.
At that moment, his mind was a little dazed.
"How is it? Have you looked at the things?" Shangguan Wanning asked impatiently, "Is there any evidence against Xiao Zhenting?"
After Mu Jingrui sent Shangguan Wanning back to her room, he quietly left the Prince Qin's Mansion. He had already finished looking through the contents of the box.
"Shangguan Wanning, what on earth are you doing?"
Faced with Mu Jingrui's questioning, Shangguan Wanning suddenly felt very aggrieved, and waves of sadness surged in her heart.
"You and Xiao Zhenting... um..."
Shangguan Wanning stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to kiss Mu Jingrui on the lips, interrupting him from saying the rest of the words.
Mu Jingrui was stunned. He wanted to push Shangguan Wanning away, but she seemed to have discovered his intention and held him tighter with her arms.
He wanted to push her away, it was easy, but...
How could he bear to do that?
Mu Jingrui's psychological defenses were easily broken by Shangguan Wanning.
He took a deep breath, took the initiative, hugged Shangguan Wanning tightly and deepened the kiss.
After a long time, both of them felt they were almost suffocating, and they reluctantly let go of each other.
"Shangguan Wanning, how long are you going to torture me?" Mu Jingrui growled in a hoarse voice.
"I'm sorry... Jingrui, I... I didn't mean it..."
"Stop talking. I understand."
Mu Jingrui gently embraced Shangguan Wanning. "You approached Xiao Zhenting just to find evidence of his collusion with the Barbarians, right?"
