The female general was reborn in the enemy's house? They all die!

"Mammy, why are you so surprised?"

Rong Sheng was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Nanny Jiang to react like this.

"Oh, please forgive me, Princess. I haven't heard any news from the capital for a long time, so I was a little surprised when I first heard it."

Only then did Nanny Jiang realize that she had lost her composure.

She calmed down her surprise and said, "It's just that this Lu family was originally just a concubine. Now that her daughter has been able to climb up to such a high branch, then the Lu family's tail will be so high that it will be lifted up to the sky!"

"Madam Jiang, don't worry." Rong Sheng finally understood the reason for Madam Jiang's surprise and waved her hand confidently, "Who knows what will happen after Rong Jin marries in."

Then, she asked curiously, "The Lu family is only in the middle and lower ranks among the nobles in the capital, and they got to the top by relying on the Marquis. Are they really so arrogant?"

"Alas, Princess, you don't know," Nanny Jiang's eyes became secretive, "The Lu family can't get the coveted position of Minister of Revenue just by relying on the Marquis."

She couldn't help but lower her voice when she said this: "I once had the honor of following Princess Qingya into the palace, and I accidentally saw Lu Anfei hurriedly leaving the back door of the prince's bedroom."

"He is the Minister of Revenue, but he sneaks in and out of the prince's residence. Doesn't this mean that Lu Anfei might be the prince's man?"

Rong Sheng looked at Nanny Jiang's eyes which seemed to show that she had discovered a shocking secret, and could not help but be surprised at the complexity of the factional strife in Dazhen.

I didn't expect that the Lu family had an affair with the prince.

This prince really did everything he could to maintain his position, even taking control of the Ministry of Revenue, which controls the economic lifeline of Dazhen.

Oh, but if there is collusion, there will be handles. Even if the prince forms cliques and schemes, he may not be the last one laughing.

Retracting his thoughts, Rong Sheng said in a deep voice: "Mammy, please wait a little longer. I will pick you up after I return to Beijing and settle down."

After saying that, Rong Sheng turned around and walked quickly along the river bank towards the outside of the mountain.

"Princess, you must be careful!"

Nanny Jiang looked at Rong Sheng's thin but upright back, and tears gradually formed in her eyes.

God finally opened his eyes and let the princess' only child grow up to be so beautiful and kind...

————

Rong Sheng hurried all the way and didn't arrive in the capital until the afternoon.

The sun is setting at this moment and the weather is not very hot and humid.

Relying on her memory, she ran all the way to Fu'en Temple, which was far away in the westernmost part of the capital.

Holding Song Xuanlin's jade pendant tightly in his hand, Rong Sheng couldn't help but feel more anxious.

Song Xuanlin specifically told her,

Recently, Concubine Wei's heart disease has recurred from time to time, and she tosses and turns and has trouble falling asleep.

I still have to arrive before the sun sets, otherwise it will disturb the Queen's rest.

Rong Sheng looked at the sun moving westward and walked faster and faster as if the wind was blowing.

Finally, after an hour, she saw the red gate of Fu'en Temple in the distance.

call--

No, I need to take a break first.

Rong Sheng suddenly felt deflated the moment he saw Fu'en Temple.

She sank her buttocks and sat down nonchalantly under a willow tree not far from the temple gate.

While wiping the sweat from his neck, he looked up and down at the temple in the distance.

How am I going to get in later?

Rong Sheng felt his physical strength gradually recovering and began to measure the high walls surrounding the temple with his eyes.

Should I walk in or jump in from that wall?

I think I'd better not dance, Rong Sheng thought with some resistance in his heart.

It is really indecent to meet Concubine Wei in this way.

And I have been jumping over the wall too frequently recently. Every time I think about it, my hands and feet feel weak.

I don’t know how long I rested for. Rong Sheng watched the sun sinking little by little before he reluctantly got up.

"Whizzing--"

Just as she was about to enter the temple respectfully through the main gate.

When I knocked on the door, I suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing above my head.

Rong Sheng frowned and quickly looked up at the sky.

Sure enough, I saw several black shadows flying past the temple gate and then entering the temple like meteors.

Could it be...

An assassin?!

How did this catch up with me again?

Rong Sheng complained in his heart that a small Fu'en Temple could attract assassins, and they were most likely targeting Concubine Wei.

She was stunned for a moment.

Concubine Wei is Master's biological sister, so there must be no mistakes.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes, and Rong Sheng suddenly exerted force with his legs, jumped onto the eaves, and chased after the assassins along the rows of bricks and tiles on the roof.

I want to see who is so bold as to touch the emperor's concubines!

Although these assassins are agile, their lightness skills are still inferior to Rong Sheng's.

Within three rooftops, the figures of the men in black were almost within reach.

Rong Sheng suddenly pulled his legs together and tiptoed to hide behind the eaves of the roof.

The leading man in black looked down at the temple for a moment, then waved his hand.

Seeing this signal, the other men in black immediately followed their leader and jumped down without thinking, then slipped into one of the meditation rooms.

Could this really be Concubine Wei’s residence?

Rong Sheng quickly stood up and jumped onto the roof of the Zen room as light as a swallow.

Gently move the tiles and the scene in the room can be clearly seen.

Although this Zen room is not big, there is a small gilded Buddha statue inside.

On the dark table, flames flickered between the red candles and green smoke curled from the incense burner.

The items for offering to the Buddha are all available.

On the flat mat, a middle-aged woman was kneeling devoutly on the prayer mat.

Although she was dressed simply, her elegant and graceful demeanor could not be concealed.

At this time, the men in black came one after another behind her.

Contrary to Rong Sheng's idea——

There was nothing sneaky about their movements. Instead, they walked behind the woman very calmly.

Amid the smoke, the woman still clasped her hands together and closed her eyes in prayer, as if everything in the room had nothing to do with her.

Huh?

Why is it different from what I thought?

Rong Sheng rubbed the back of his head and continued to look intently.

But suddenly, those men in black all knelt on the ground.

The man in the lead was closest to the woman, and he solemnly raised his hands towards her back.

"Miss!"

What was unexpected was that the man in black actually spoke with a crying tone when he first spoke.

What's happening here?

Rong Sheng blinked in surprise——

Not an assassination?

Why am I finding this scene increasingly difficult to understand?
