"General Shen is fighting outside, but the emperor has surrounded the general's mansion in the capital and imprisoned Miss Shen. Why is this?"
Chunye finished speaking with a pinched throat, then changed the place and the tone of his voice.
"I never thought that even a great general wouldn't be treated kindly by the emperor, let alone ordinary people like us."
"yes……"
"Oh my God, how could this happen?"
Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper swung his spear and shouted in a thunderous voice, "You daring and unruly people, do not spread rumors and cause trouble!"
"Ah, the officers and soldiers killed people!"
Haruyo immediately created chaos and the crowd began to flee in all directions.
"The soldiers are killing people! Help!"
The soldiers' eyes were filled with panic. When did he kill anyone? He just moved his spear and killed someone?! What a bunch of unruly people!
Shen Qing snorted softly and walked into the mansion.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Shen Yanzhi waiting for her in the courtyard. When he saw her come in, he hurried forward to look her over.
"Brother, I'm fine."
Shen Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but he was a little thinner.
"You only said that the Queen might keep you in the palace, but you didn't say that you would be locked up in the cold palace. If you don't come back today, I will be worried to death." Shen Yanzhi said in a low voice.
He knew that walls have ears.
"Brother, let's go inside first."
The two of them entered the front hall one after the other.
"Brother, how's things going in the barracks?"
"Everything has been arranged. Tomorrow morning, I will have the soldiers disguise themselves as ordinary people and lurk around the general's mansion. Jiang Zhuo has arranged people at the city gate to ensure that father can enter the city directly."
Jiang Zhuo had no soldiers, and it was Shen Yanzhi who assigned him a team.
"Okay, we can start preparing things in the mansion and hang up the red silk ribbons."
Although everyone's hearts were not on the ceremony, it was her first marriage in two lifetimes after all.
"Qingqing, your wedding day has passed like this. Do you have any regrets?" Shen Yanzhi asked with a sigh.
"Regret? Everyone will remember me in my wedding dress in the future, because...it was a day of national celebration."
Outside the general's residence, rows of fully armed soldiers stood solemnly, like statues. The streets outside the residence were deserted, the atmosphere tense and oppressive, as if even the air itself had frozen.
However, inside the general's mansion, the scene was completely different.
The mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere, with red silk fluttering in the wind, creating an atmosphere of joy.
The servants were busy moving around, some were decorating the hall, carefully placing flowers and candlesticks, and some were tidying up the bridal chamber, making the bedding neatly and sprinkling flower petals that symbolized good luck.
The entire general's mansion was filled with laughter and was extremely lively. Everyone was busy preparing for tomorrow's wedding ceremony.
Shen Qing came to the Shen family ancestral hall and stood there for a long time. Then she picked up the incense and tried to light it several times but it didn't light up. She chuckled helplessly.
"Although I'm not the real Shen Qing, I recognize Shen Jianshan. Today, I'm here to apologize to the elders on his behalf."
Her voice was low and firm, her expression solemn.
"I know that what I intend to do tomorrow is indeed a heinous act. However, the Murong family has bullied us too much. They are pressing us step by step, leaving us no room for maneuver. Now, we have nowhere to retreat. If we continue to endure, the Shen family may be wiped out from now on. We will be doomed and there will be no chance of recovery!"
"I also ask all the seniors, from your spirits in heaven, to bless us with everything going well."
Shen Qing lit the incense again, and the smoke rose.
Shen Qing turned and left, locking the door of the ancestral hall.
In the evening, a carriage stopped not far from the general's mansion.
"Miss, do you want to find someone to report this to?" Chuntao asked with a frown.
Bai Runyi sat in the carriage, hesitating for a long time. She gently picked up the beautifully wrapped gift box at hand, and slowly stroked the silk ribbon of the gift box with her fingers, with a hint of hesitation and uneasiness in her eyes.
"Forget it, let's go back."
She just came back and must have a lot of things to do.
Chuntao didn't say anything and ordered the carriage to turn around and leave.
Chunye hid in the dark and saw everything. He thought about it and followed.
The carriage was halfway there when there were few people around and suddenly stopped.
"Chun Tao, why did you stop?"
"Miss..."
Bai Runyi lifted the curtain and suddenly saw several men in black standing in front of the carriage.
"Who are you?" Chun Tao shouted bravely, "My young lady is the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and you dare to stop her!"
"Oh, we're looking for you." The man in black said, "Miss Bai, come with us."
"you……"
Just as the man in black was about to take action, a man holding a sword landed in front of the carriage.
"It's not a good idea to embarrass a woman, right?" Chun Ye raised his hand and touched the horse twice.
"Who are you?"
"A hero! Can't you see? Someone like me, who else could be anything but a hero?"
The man in black sneered, "Hero, today I will make you a dead man!"
The man in black brandished his sword and lunged at Chun Ye. Chun Ye showed no fear at all, and drew his sword, drawing a cold arc in the moonlight.
With a clang, the swords clashed, sparks flying everywhere. Chun Ye was agile and his moves were fierce. He moved like the wind, moving freely among the men in black, and every blow of his sword was deadly.
"Is this a killer move? You're the one with the wind!"
"snort."
Chun Ye snorted coldly, and then with a few consecutive blows, the man in black fell to the ground. He put away his sword and turned around, wanting to show off, but all he saw was the shadow of a carriage.
“Eh…”
This isn't right. Shouldn't she have thanked him first? Why did she just run away? This doesn't make sense!
"Miss, shouldn't we thank that person?"
"Oh my God, Chuntao, didn't you hear that? That man is a killer, maybe he's here to kill us too!"
Bai Runyi patted his chest in fear.
If you don't run, you won't be able to see Qingqing's wedding tomorrow!
Chunye looked at the corpses all over the ground with some disbelief. Well, the whole night was wasted.
He scratched his head, turned around and was startled.
There was a man in white standing there looking at him. He didn't know when he came and he didn't say anything.
"Wow, what are you doing?" Chun Ye patted his chest, "Are you trying to scare me to death?"
"Why are you following her?"
Wen Xingzhi had been secretly following Bai Runyi since she stopped at the gate of the general's mansion. He was just one step late and was overtaken by this man.
"I'm the flower protector, understand?"
Chunye stroked his chin and looked at Wen Xingzhi.
"You, on the other hand, are dressed like a decent person, but I always feel that you are not a good person!"
"Oh~ I remembered a word, sanctimonious. Is it referring to you?"
