Upon seeing this, Shang Ruoyi walked out from behind the pillar and picked up the magic knives one by one.
Although this thing has a lot of space, in order not to arouse the suspicion of He Jingheng, she had better put it away. As far as she knows, Tianshun does not seem to have the technology to make chain steel.
"Where are you going? I remember you took out ten swords! How come there are only thirteen swords left?" She didn't see that one of the swords was in the hand of He Jingheng.
When she just aimed at the medicine bag, He Jingheng used his internal force to absorb the surgical knife.
He Jingheng opened the door and watched the black-clothed men fleeing from the large group. He moved his fingers slightly and saw the shadows of the trees swaying. The next moment, several figures disappeared from the trees not far away.
"What are you looking for?" He Jingheng looked at her and found that she had no wounds, so he was relieved.
Shang Ruoyi shook her head and smiled: "Nothing, nothing."
He Yunyi and Qin rushed out of the room.
Shang Ruoyi spread out her palm, and a jade pendant lay quietly on her face.
"Here you go. Thank you for fulfilling my mission!"
"Sister-in-law!" He Yunyi ignored the jade pendant and hugged Shang Ruoyi, her voice already tearful: "You scared me to death, what if something happens to you?"
Qin also wiped away tears: "Yes, it's just a broken jade pendant. Even if it's broken, what does it matter? How can it be more important than you?"
Shang Ruoyi was stunned. After two lives, this was the first time she felt the warmth brought by her relatives. In her previous life, everyone told her that as long as the mission was completed, they would sacrifice their lives. So although she was sad about the death of her teammates, if she could exchange one person's death for greater benefits and let more people survive, then the sacrifice was worth it.
But now someone told her that her life was more important than anything else. How could she not be moved?
"Jing Heng, do you know who is here today?" The old princess came out and said with some concern: "These killers found here, what should we do in the future?"
He Jingheng shook his head, his tone low and somewhat helpless: "My grandson cannot identify the person who came. The Dingguo Palace has made many enemies, and there are many people in the inner pass who want to kill me."
Shang Ruoyi cast her eyes towards the dense forest. It seemed that she had to do something there.
After a while, Wu Wenhan arrived late with a group of people.
"What's going on?" Wu Wenhan asked in a deep voice, looking at the arrows flying on the ground.
Shang Ruoyi gave a rough account of what happened, and Wu Wenhan's brows furrowed more and more tightly: "I didn't expect that someone would dare to cause trouble here. This officer will definitely investigate strictly."
"Thank you very much, sir."
Seeing that they were not injured, Wu Wenhan led his men away.
Shang Ruoyi watched them leave and couldn't help but sneer. How could it be such a coincidence that they came just after the black-clothed man left. There were so few people in the village, how could he know about such a big commotion? It's just that he came late on purpose. It seems that the assassination attempt this time is related to the imperial court!
That afternoon, Shang Ruoyi brought Mr. Wu to the town to buy raw materials for building a house.
What happened today made her realize how important it is to have a solid house.
All matters concerning the materials for building the house were left to Wu Lao alone. Shang Ruoyi found a blacksmith and handed him a part of the drawing she had drawn: "Master, can you make this drawing?"
The blacksmith looked at it and nodded, saying, "Okay." He looked at it for a long time, but still didn't understand what it was, but as long as he had the blueprint, he could make it.
She went to another blacksmith shop and gave him the remaining drawings.
The two did not return to the village until it was almost dark.
He Yunyi was so anxious that she kept walking around in circles at home: "Brother, why don't you go look for her! It's almost dark and my sister-in-law hasn't come back yet. Could something have happened?"
"Yes Jingheng, how about I ask your third uncle to go and greet them?"
He Jingheng shook his head and said calmly, "No need."
"But······"
At this moment, there was a sound at the door, and Shang Ruoyi's figure appeared in everyone's sight.
"Sister-in-law!"
Shang Ruoyi smiled and handed over the oil-paper bag: "Here, your favorite buns."
Since she came in, she had never looked at He Jingheng directly, nor had she spoken a word to him.
At first he didn't feel any difference, until when the packages were divided and Shang Ruoyi didn't give him any, He Jingheng realized that she seemed a little angry.
When Shang Ruoyi came to the yard to hang clothes, he slowly walked to her side and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"
"It's okay." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Shi, I think we should talk about the divorce."
As Shang Ruoyi finished speaking, He Jingheng's brows knitted almost inaudibly.
"You want a divorce so badly?"
"What else?" Shang Ruoyi had a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes at all: "You and I were not originally in love. I was forced into your relationship by Shangnian and the emperor. I said it on the way to exile. When we get to the place of exile, we will get divorced, right?" She could hear their conversation just now at the door. Everyone was worried about their own safety, but he was the only one who looked indifferent.
He Jingheng looked at her and it didn't seem like she was just talking casually, and a chill ran down his face.
Is it because the ring is on the finger that you don't want to play with me anymore?
For some reason, once this conjecture came into his mind, he felt as if there was a flame burning in his chest. He sneered, "Whatever you want."
Shang Ruoyi was hanging clothes and paused for a moment, then immediately returned to normal.
"We will get divorced after this place is built. This is what Shi promised me personally." After saying that, she took out the ring from her bosom and handed it to him: "I return this thing to you."
The moment the ring appeared, He Jingheng was stunned. This ring...
He looked at Shang Ruoyi and said, "Isn't this ring sold?"
"When you took out the ring that day, grandma didn't look very happy. I guessed that the ring was probably very valuable, so I didn't pawn it. I wanted to give it to you when I came back, but I never found the opportunity."
Just one sentence, his heart instantly warmed up after he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cellar.
He took the ring, a smile on his lips. It seemed that he won this gamble after all.
No, it should be said that he won the bet but lost his heart.
Shang Ruoyi saw him take the ring and said calmly: "Don't forget this life, the matter of divorce."
"Let's talk about it later!" He Jingheng turned and left.
What else?
How can you say that again?
Didn't you just agree?
The assassination attempt in exile soon spread to the East Palace.
"What did you say?" He Lingsheng slammed the book on the table and said angrily, "Who is it? How dare you ruin my plan!"
"Yes...it's the Imperial Concubine."
