After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line

Chapter 149

That night, Rong Su was about to blow out the candle and rest.

Suddenly she heard footsteps outside and she became nervous, staring at the door vigilantly.

Having just experienced being poisoned, I knew this place was not safe either.

So she had to be on guard, and now she would test for poison with a silver needle before eating anything.

When she took out the silver needle, pinched it with two fingers, and moved closer, she suddenly heard Shen Peiqing's voice.

"Not asleep? Then come to the backyard tomorrow at noon and I'll teach you how to float on water."

Hearing this, Rong Su was stunned for a moment while holding the silver needle, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be him. Seeing that he was about to leave after he finished speaking, she subconsciously called out to him.

"You, you just came back?" He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. In the end, he asked this question. Rong Su felt that his question was unnecessary.

Just as he was feeling regretful and wondering if he would be ridiculed by Shen Peiqing, the other party responded.

"Yeah, I just got back. You should get some rest early."

He was about to leave when Rong Su remembered the intelligence and called out to him again: "Shen, Aqing, information."

There was silence outside for a long time. Finally, his voice seemed to contain a hint of joy as he said softly, "We'll talk tomorrow. Go to sleep."

After hearing what he said, Rong Su couldn't force him to stay and listen. Besides, it was really late at night, and it wasn't good for a man and a woman to be alone.

"Ah."

The footsteps gradually faded away, and Rong Su turned around to blow out the candle and lie down on the bed.

He opened his eyes, stared at the dark ceiling of the bed for a while, then turned over and muttered quietly:

"I don't care about him."

There are still two days until the birthday banquet of Emperor Dongzhou.

Now the entire Dongdu has nearly twice as many people as usual, and the streets and alleys are bustling with people.

I also saw many people from Central and Northern Continent wearing them.

Zhongzhou is close to the inland, and now that spring is approaching, people generally wear clothes that are neither too thick nor too thin. The most distinctive feature is that everyone, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, likes to use silk to make belts.

Beizhou is in the north, where the temperature is not high all year round. It is still very cold in spring, so people dress in the style of the cold winter.

Their clothing characteristics are leather coats and cloaks made of animal fur.

Dongzhou is close to the sea, and the clothing there is actually similar to that of Zhongzhou, but the women here like to wear chest-length skirts.

Sitting in the teahouse and looking down, Rong Su saw many people from other continents. They were probably taking advantage of the state banquet held for the birthday of the Emperor of Dongzhou and the opening of the gates of Dongdu City to come and do business.

Of course, there were also some envoys sent by the kings of other continents to attend the banquet.

She would sit here and observe, just to see whether Rong Yingxin would come to Dongdu on behalf of Zhongdu.

But after looking for a whole morning, her eyes were sore and she didn't gain anything.

It seems I have no choice but to go back and wait for the appointment with Shen Peiqing in the afternoon to practice water floating.

It's strange to say. They had clearly agreed last night to go to the backyard to learn Qinggong at noon today, but when she woke up this morning, Shi Tou came to her and said that Shen Peiqing had something to do in the morning and needed to postpone what happened last night to the afternoon.

She didn't mind, as she had nothing to do anyway.

Just as I was about to pay and leave, I heard a burst of noise behind me.

"How dare you! You are ignoring the wishes of His Highness!" A young man in a brown-gray robe, who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with an androgynous voice, was pointing at the two young men in front of him who were dressed similarly and yelling at them.

The boy who was being protected behind him was a young boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old. The boy looked a little timid and scared. He looked around and kept pulling the boy in front of him with his hands, as if to signal him not to speak.

The young man seemed unwilling to give up and wanted to say something. A young man was respectful on the surface, but his words were sarcastic: "Xiao Muzi, His Highness didn't say anything, so you should stop trying to show off. Otherwise, it will be your Highness who will suffer."

Xiao Muzi's face turned red with anger. The young boy was afraid that something might happen to Xiao Muzi, so he quickly stopped him. However, he didn't want to attract attention, so he pulled the angry Xiao Muzi towards the private room.

The two young men looked at each other, their eyes revealing implicit mockery, and then followed them.

Seeing this, Rong Su thought for a moment, this young boy could be called "Your Highness", so he must be a prince of some continent, and those two young men should be his followers. But if he was a prince, how could even his followers bully him?

But this had nothing to do with her. Rong Su took out the silver and put it on the table, then left the teahouse.

Rong Su went to the pharmacy and bought some herbs, then passed through an alley.

As she walked past, she heard a somewhat familiar voice.

I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but suddenly I caught the words of His Highness.

"When will the Second Prince's order be implemented?"

"We can take action after the Fifth Prince meets with the Emperor of Dongzhou. Are you anxious?"

"Oh, I really can't stand that poor guy. He's so cowardly and incompetent. Working under him, I'm always looked down upon. What's the use of having a noble status? Without power, I'm just a pig at the mercy of others."

"Brother, so it was a wise choice for you to join the Second Prince. Once the news of the Fifth Prince's death in the Eastern Capital spreads, won't all the old opportunists in Beizhou join the Second Prince? Our Second Prince will soon reach the top!"

"Yes, I just have to wait until then."

At this moment, the boy named Xiao Linzi, who had just quarreled with them, heard their conversation and immediately rushed out to question one of the young men.

"Feng Yan! You actually betrayed His Highness! Have you forgotten what Concubine Yu told you? If Concubine Yu hadn't saved your life, you wouldn't even be dead by now!"

Feng Yan didn't expect to be caught by Xiao Linzi, and his face suddenly changed.

When the other young man saw that Xiao Linzi had already known their conspiracy, he immediately decided to kill him.

Xiao Linzi had not yet realized that the young man had murderous intentions towards him, and was still trying to blame them.

"Your actions are nothing short of treason! Feng Yan, do you still have any conscience? How did Noble Yu treat you in the first place? Ask yourself!"

Feng Yan did struggle for a moment, but was quickly encouraged by another young man.

"Oh, Feng Yan, think carefully, is your life more important or is the so-called relationship more important? Now you only have one chance, will you rise to prominence or face disaster? It's your choice!"

Xiao Linzi looked at the other young man angrily and shouted, "Liu Yi! Don't go too far!"

Liu Yi sneered, looking at Xiao Linzi with a sinister and vicious look: "Xiao Linzi, now that you know our secret, you are all dead. What is Feng Yan waiting for? Hurry up!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Linzi's face changed. He stepped back and looked at them in horror: "How dare you kill someone to silence him! I am His Highness's personal eunuch. If I disappear, His Highness will definitely hold you accountable!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Yi laughed crazily, his face full of disdain. "Your Highness is a good-for-nothing piece of shit. Even if he knows, so what? He can't even protect himself, and you still want him to give you justice? Feng Yan!"

Feng Yan's eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent. He pulled out a sharp dagger from under his sleeve and approached Xiao Linzi step by step.

Seeing this, Xiao Linzi was so scared that his face turned pale and he quickly turned around and ran towards the alley.

But Feng Yan himself knew some martial arts, and Xiao Linzi, a eunuch who had no fighting skills at all, was caught by Feng Yan before he could run a few steps.

I saw that the dagger was about to pierce Xiao Linzi's throat.

A cold-colored dart shot towards Feng Yan from a dark place. Feng Yan didn't notice it and was cut on the wrist by the dart. Blood flowed profusely and he cried out in pain.

"who!"

Xiao Linzi took advantage of Feng Yan's injury, gathered all his strength, and kicked Feng Yan hard. Feng Yan felt the pain again and had to let go of Xiao Linzi and cover the painful area.

Xiao Linzi ran away in a hurry. When Liu Yi saw him, he hurriedly chased him while shouting, "Want to run? That's not that easy!"

Rong Su, who was hiding in the dark, just couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she stepped in to rescue. She didn't want to get involved, but it was really unpleasant to watch two people bullying one person.

Seeing that Xiao Linzi was once again forced into a corner by Liu Yi, Rong Su wondered whether she should help him again.

At this moment, Liu Yi's dagger attacked Xiao Linzi's chest again. Xiao Linzi was trembling all over with fear and couldn't shout.

A long sword emitting a cold light cut through the air at lightning speed and pierced Liu Yi's back.

After a painful cry, Liu Yi suddenly fell to the ground and died.

Feng Yan's eyes widened in disbelief when he saw this. A hint of fear rose in his heart. He looked around and shouted, "Who are you? Why did you save this little eunuch? We have no grudges against each other!"

Rong Su was also surprised when he saw this scene. The sword seemed familiar.

At this time, the person who attacked did not speak. He took advantage of the dark environment and flashed behind Feng Yan. When Feng Yan noticed it, there was already a red mark on his neck. He said the word "you" and fell to the ground and died.

Through the dim light, Rong Su in the dark saw clearly the person coming, it was Shen Peiqing.

When Xiao Linzi saw someone coming to rescue him, he was so scared that his legs went weak and he knelt down, kowtowed to Shen Peiqing to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, hero! Thank you for saving my life!"

Shen Peiqing only glanced at Xiao Linzi slightly, then turned his head to look over. Rong Su could clearly feel that his eyes were directed at her.

"Still not coming out?"

Hearing this, Rong Su realized that she had been exposed.

Having no choice but to come out from the darkness, Xiao Linzi was still confused, but when he saw Rong Su, he was shocked and frightened. He looked at her and said, "You, who are you? Are you also sent by the Second Prince to assassinate the Fifth Prince?"

Rong Su glanced at Xiao Linzi, whose face was filled with fear. She could tell he was terrified, and said calmly, "I don't know the Second Prince or the Fifth Prince you're talking about. I was just passing by."

When Xiao Linzi heard that Rong Su was not Shen Fengyu's man, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he turned his head to look at Shen Peiqing, wanting to express his gratitude again, but after looking at Shen Peiqing's face carefully, he opened his mouth in surprise with an incredible expression.

"Your Highness! Is that you?"

Shen Peiqing stood there, his expression indifferent, and nodded: "Yeah. Xiao Linzi, is Fifth Brother okay?"

At this moment, Xiao Linzi seemed to have found a strong supporter, tears streaming down his face, and he choked with sobs.

After a while, Xiao Linzi brought Shen Peiqing and Rong Su to a room in the inn.

"Please sit down for a moment. I'll go and invite the Fifth Prince. I can't bring you directly to the Fifth Prince because the Second Prince is watching."

Shen Peiqing and Rong Su took off their hats at the same time.

"Yeah." Shen Peiqing responded lightly.

After that, Xiao Linzi closed the door and went to look for someone.

After Xiaolinzi closed the door, Rong Su asked, "Why did you suddenly appear at the entrance of the alley? Didn't you go to do that thing?"

Shen Peiqing glanced at her lightly, then picked up the teacup, poured her a cup of tea, and pushed it in front of her.

"I had already arranged that matter. And I came to find you. Shi Tou said you might have gone to the teahouse."

Rong Su was a little disturbed when she heard this, but she quickly reacted and asked, "Xiao Linzi called you the Great Prince, which means that Xiao Linzi and his people are from Northern Continent. In that case, the Fifth Prince is your younger brother. You don't seem surprised that someone wanted to assassinate your brother's personal eunuch. Is it because you knew?"

Shen Peiqing stroked a cup in front of him, lowered his eyes for a moment, then raised them again, looked at her and said:

"You guessed right. After Fifth Brother arrived in Dongdu, I had already guessed Shen Fengyu's intention. I also sent people to follow Fifth Brother. This time, I happened to see them about to take action. I think it was just a coincidence. It was also a coincidence that you happened to encounter this incident when I was looking for you."

So that's how it is. After knowing all this, Rong Su couldn't help but be surprised at one thing.

So when did Shen Peiqing start cultivating so many forces? It seems that on weekdays, he is always elusive because he is doing these things.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and a young boy appeared at the door. The moment he saw Shen Peiqing, his eyes were filled with tears and his cheeks flushed.

Shen Peiqing looked at the young boy, and a sense of sadness appeared in his eyes.

Xiao Linzi carefully looked around, then whispered to the young boy: "Your Highness, please pay attention to your emotions."

When the young boy heard this, he quickly controlled his expression, pretended to be expressionless, and walked into the room with his head held high.

As soon as he entered, after Xiao Linzi closed the door, he showed an aggrieved and sad expression, walked quickly to Shen Peiqing, and hugged him.

"Big brother. Where have you been?" The young boy seemed to realize something and didn't dare to shout out.

Shen Peiqing looked slightly sad. He sighed and said softly, "Lian'er, you are thirteen years old this year. You should look like a prince. Don't cry, even if it means bleeding."

Shen Sulian forced herself not to cry, sniffed hard, then let go of Shen Peiqing, stood up, found a place to sit, and looked at Shen Peiqing with a look that said I will listen to your advice.

Seeing him like this, Shen Peiqing couldn't help but feel a little distressed. This child has always been a timid and cowardly person.

His mother died early and he had no one to rely on, so he was even more pitiful than him.

At least he was able to grow up and become the crown prince for a few years because of the support of his grandfather.

But later my grandfather passed away, and those who supported him began to change their stance and were gradually bribed and distanced themselves from him.

"Feng Yan and Liu Yi, I have already taken care of them for you. The birthday banquet will be soon, and Shen Fengyu has sent quite a few spies to your side. In order to prevent his people from attacking you again, I will arrange a few secret guards to protect you." Shen Peiqing didn't say much, and made arrangements for Shen Sulian directly.

Shen Sulian asked in a hoarse voice, "Then, what about you?"
