Liu Shuang's lips moved, afraid of offending her, so she didn't dare to say anything, and quickly climbed into the car.

Only when she got into the car and saw the eldest princess sitting in it, her pretty face turned pale, and she regretted what she just said.

"You said that the third prince concubine of your family was kidnapped by the thieves, but is it true?" The eldest princess asked with a solemn expression and her eyes fixed on her.

"Yes, it's true." Fearing her majesty, Liushuang stammered.

"What about the guards in your house? Could it be that the dignified concubine went out without anyone to protect her?" The eldest princess frowned.

"Yes, yes, it's just that the thieves are coming so aggressively that the guards can't resist, and that's why they succeed."

"What about those guards now? All of them are seriously injured? How come you are the only one left?" the eldest princess asked again.

"They were all injured and asked me to go back to rescue soldiers. Now I think they are still at the foot of the mountain over there."

The eldest princess frowned even more: "I think it's because your concubine and concubine's arrangements are not comprehensive enough. Now is an eventful time. If you want to go out, it is better to have more escorts than less."

"The prince and concubine have been here several times these days, and everything is fine. Only today will the accident happen." Liu Shuang explained for her master.

"His Royal Highness is now trapped in the ancestral mansion. Concubine Li is in trouble day and night because of the affairs of His Royal Highness. Your prince and concubine don't stay in the mansion to take care of the family affairs, and you don't go to the palace to comfort the goddess, but why do you come here every three or five years? Reason?" The eldest princess' face sank, and her face was already quite unhappy.

"The emperor, the prince concubine is, is here to pray for, for the third, the third highness..." Liu Shuang shrank his neck and defended the master in a low voice.

Shen Xinyan frowned while listening to it, but she felt a little strange in her heart.

How many times have you been here?

Didn't Zhou Wanning dream about the past life earlier? If so, she should have known that she was kidnapped by Murong Tao in a similar situation in her previous life.

In this life, you should be on guard early, and you don't dare to go out easily. How could he simply go out with his guard and maid in such an extraordinary period, and go to the same place several times.

Did she not dream about it?

As soon as the idea came to her mind, she dismissed it again.

Naturally, she knew that she was sent to the family temple by her eldest son in her last life, and she should also know why she was sent.

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and the more she thought about it, the more strange it became. Later, she even gave birth to the ridiculous idea that Zhou Wanning seemed to be waiting for her to be kidnapped.

The next moment she felt impossible.

Being kidnapped by thieves is no less than killing her directly for a woman of today's world.

Even if he returned innocently and safely, who would believe it? How many people would believe that a young and beautiful woman could remain innocent in the hands of a thief? What's more, Zhou Wanning is still so charming, it is even more difficult to be convincing.

No matter how stupid Zhou Wanning was, he wouldn't joke about his reputation and his life, right? If the third prince is not like her eldest son in the previous life, and loves her unswervingly, she will face doom!

"Madam, why don't you go to the police officer to arrest the thief first?" Liu Shuang didn't dare to face the eldest princess again, and turned to ask Shen Xinyan.

Shen Xinyan glanced at her sideways: "If you want to report to the official, I have no objection at all, I just wonder if you, Lord Zhou and Mrs. Zhou, would agree with you to bring their daughter's abduction to the government!"

"Fool!" The eldest princess glared at Liushuang angrily.

When such a thing happened, who wouldn't hold her tightly, but if she opened it up, even if someone was rescued safely, the spittle of others could drown her. This idiot still wants to report to the official!

Liu Shuang was scolded until her pretty face turned red and white, and she finally realized that she was really stupid, and she shrunk her body into a ball, and didn't dare to say more.

"You clean up yourselves, you look like this, because you are afraid that others won't know if something happened to you?" The eldest princess said again with a sullen face.

When Liu Shuang heard this, she started to tidy up her appearance in a panic, Shen Xinyan frowned, took out a peach wood comb and a hand-held bronze mirror from the dark compartment in the carriage, and threw them to her, watching her move fairly neatly. Pack up properly.

In less than half an hour, the carriage arrived in the capital, and Shen Xinyan ordered Liu Shuang to be sent directly to the Zhou residence, without stopping, and ordered to drive back to the residence.

"Fortunately, Jun Hang came back in time that day, so we didn't marry the daughter Zhou Mao for Brother Lin." Back at the mansion, the eldest princess said with a hint of happiness.

Shen Xinyan was waiting for her to clean her hands and wash her face. Hearing her words, she smiled slightly and nodded in agreement: "Mother said very well!"

"This woman is beautiful, but she's really not a good wife. As the saying goes, a good wife and a husband are less likely to suffer, so I just hope that Brother Lin can understand after this time, and gradually put out his sympathy for the Zhou family daughter. That heart." The eldest princess sighed.

Shen Xinyan was not so sure about this.

After all, Zhou Wanning fell into Murong Tao's hands for many days in the last life, but after she was rescued, the eldest son's affection for her did not diminish, and his attitude towards her never changed.

The bodyguards sent to inform Zhou Mao returned soon, only that Lord Zhou seemed to have asked someone for help, and went to the rescue with his troops. Shen Xinyan didn't take her too seriously. Zhou Wanning had nothing to do with her in this life. To her, she was just a stranger she knew. There was really no need for her to pay too much attention to it.

Besides, if it was Murong Tao who kidnapped her, then her life would never be in danger. It was too late for Murong Tao to coax her, so how could he be willing to touch her half a finger.

However, the other two guards she sent to track down the thief never returned. The longer the time passed, the more worried Shen Xinyan became, for fear that the two of them had already encountered an accident. At the back, she even regretted sending someone to follow.

The eldest princess seemed to understand what she was worried about, patted the back of her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, these guards were all trained by your father back then, even if they are not as good as a thief, their ability to protect themselves is still the same. some."

Shen Xinyan felt relieved after hearing her say that.

If it was Murong Tao who kidnapped him, he would not hurt Zhou Wanning, and he might not be merciful to others. If the guards of the Duke's Mansion died because of these two people, then it would be really not worth it.

Perhaps Zhou Mao made a comprehensive arrangement, or perhaps the court and the public were either concerned about the frontier wars or the second prince's case. For a while, no one knew that the third prince and concubine of the court had been kidnapped by thieves.

Even Concubine Li, the biological mother of the third prince, did not notice that her daughter-in-law had disappeared when her son was imprisoned in the ancestral mansion.

However, Shen Xinyan knew better that paper couldn't hold fire, and it could be concealed in a short period of time, but if it took a long time, it would definitely cause suspicion.

The dispute between the concubines and descendants in the Zhou Mansion had already heated up. Theoretically, the direct descendants of the Zhou clan had gradually weakened. There was only one eldest son, Zhou Mao, who was an official in the court, so everyone in the mansion should look at the faces of Zhou Mao and his wife.

However, the central feeder of Zhou's house was always in the hands of Fang Birong of the fifth room, and Wen's could not get the slightest advantage in her hands, and she had to be restricted by her everywhere, so it was not unbearable.

Comparing the two lives, Shen Xinyan felt that the most unfortunate thing about the Wen family in this life was having a fifth sibling who was completely different from the previous life. Fang Birong's scheming and tactics, even if Wen Shi lived a few more years, she still couldn't beat her.

And more than half a month later, the case of the second prince finally came to light. The prince and the third prince were both wronged, but the person who designed all this, when the official from Dali Temple arrived, found that he had already committed suicide by taking poison.

This person is none other than a counselor in the Second Prince's Mansion. The official searched his mansion again, and found many old things from Prince Cheng's mansion. Immediately, the news that Prince Cheng had secretly returned to Beijing spread in the courtroom.

Emperor Yuanyou even took the opportunity to issue a decree, strictly ordering the guards in all parts of the capital to strengthen patrols, and be sure to find out the whereabouts of Prince Cheng.

Immediately, the guards in the capital gradually became stricter, with many officials guarding the gates of the city every day, strictly checking people entering and leaving the city, for fear that Prince Cheng would be among the common people.

"Shen shi, what do you think about this matter?" Today, after the eldest princess had breakfast, she looked at Shen Xinyan and Yang shi before her, and suddenly asked.

Shen Xinyan pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Whether the real murderer is really the real murderer is up for debate. If you follow the guess of your daughter-in-law, strengthening the guards of the capital and searching for the heir to the prince is the real purpose of His Majesty."

The eldest princess nodded approvingly, then looked at the suspicious Yang Shi, smiled slightly, and changed the subject: "Brother Zhao's wedding is still on the original date. Father and son have triumphed."

Hearing her mention of her son's marriage, Yang was overjoyed and nodded again and again: "Mother said very well, my daughter-in-law has entrusted a lot of people to make a good deal. That day is really a rare good day, and it is the most suitable for marriage."

Earlier, the Yang family had already set a wedding date for her son and her niece, but soon there was an unknown matter about Wei Chenglin's disappearance, and then Rong Di went south to attack the city, and Wei Junhang went on an expedition. It's just that she's too anxious, and she's even more worried that if Wei Chenglin really loses her life, her son's marriage will be moved to what year and month.

Now that she finally got the right words, she finally fell into a big rock in her heart.

This happiness, the words will be more and more.

"It's not my boasting, my niece is indeed a rare good girl. Anyone who has seen her will not boast about it..."

Shen Xinyan wanted to laugh a little while listening to her eloquence.

How can a niece and a daughter-in-law be the same? When was still a niece, naturally looked at her how liked her, but once became a daughter-in-law, it would be different. was just looking at each other with that Western magnifying glass, no matter what. No matter how good the other party is, there is always something that she doesn't look down on.

She clearly remembered that in her previous life, Mrs. Yang complained to herself in private about her former niece and later eldest son-in-law.

The eldest princess, however, listened to Yang's continuous praise to her daughter-in-law who had never been through the door with a good temper, and even when she noticed that Yang's throat seemed to be a little dry, she thoughtfully motioned Shen Xinyan to pour tea for her.

Shen Xinyan received her gaze, took the teapot with a smile, poured a cup of tea for Yang's and brought it to her.

"...I didn't say that when you marry a daughter-in-law, character is the most important thing. Compared with this appearance, it is not so important. Look at the girl in the Zhou family who was born with national beauty, the current third prince concubine, is The appearance is too attractive to attract the attention of thieves!"

Shen Xinyan was startled and looked at the eldest princess subconsciously, just in time to meet the equally surprised gaze of the eldest princess.

"Third siblings, what do you mean by that? What are the thieves thinking about?" After a while, she asked tentatively.

"Second sister-in-law, it's not surprising that you don't know. I only heard about it when I went back to my mother's house yesterday. They all said that the third prince and concubine were kidnapped by thieves. As soon as the third prince came out of the sect's residence, he brought his troops to rescue him. She's gone. Ouch, these three princes and concubine don't know if they are too unlucky, this captivity will be gone for the rest of my life." Yang Shi tutted a few times, but the expression on his face was like a good show. .

"Is there any evidence that the third concubine was kidnapped by the thieves?" Shen Xinyan asked again.

"It's spread outside?" The eldest princess asked immediately.

"How can it be spread, if it is spread, mother and second sister-in-law would have heard the rumors long ago, and it would be my turn to speak. It's just that some insiders said something in private, everyone also Just listen." Yang said with a smile.

"If there is no evidence, don't spread these words indiscriminately. How important is reputation and innocence to a woman, you can't copy what others say, and harm other people's lives for no reason." The eldest princess taught a lesson.

Yang shi replied in a nonchalant manner, not daring to say more.

Shen Xinyan pondered.

Who the hell came up with this kind of nonsense? Although there is no conclusive evidence, it can not be underestimated. The person who spread such words clearly wanted to kill Zhou Wanning.

For some reason, Fang Birong's face suddenly flashed in her mind.

Will it be her? She didn't rule it out. Zhou Wanning was the most beloved daughter of Zhou Mao, the eldest daughter of the concubine, in the dispute between the concubines of Zhou's house. If Zhou Wanning was destroyed, it would severely damage Zhou Mao and his wife. For Bi Rong, the other party, it was not something that could not be done.

A few days later, the two mansion guards she sent to track down the thief that day returned, and at the same time they brought back the news that Zhou Wanning was brought back to the mansion safely by the third prince.

"So, the third prince saved the third prince concubine?" she asked.

The two guards looked a little hesitant on their faces and looked at each other, and the taller one of them replied, "It wasn't the third prince and concubine that the third prince rescued from Little General Murong, but the prince. !"

Shen Xinyan was taken aback and looked stunned.

"Master Shi? Are you sure it was the Master who saved him? But didn't Master Shi and Master Hou lead the soldiers to assist General Murong?"

"My subordinates are very sure that it was the Lord Shizi who brought his troops to rescue the third prince and concubine, and then ordered someone to escort her to meet the third prince who came."

Shen Xinyan was speechless for a long time.

She did not even calculate that it was the eldest son who rescued Zhou Wanning in her life. It was obvious that the eldest son should be about to join General Murong at this time, and he was about to bring his troops and horses to attack the imperial court of Rong Di.

"What about the prince?" she asked.

"After the prince saved the people, he left with his men and horses. The subordinates watched, they should have rushed to meet the Marquis."

Shen Xinyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't know how he found out that Zhou Wanning had been robbed, no matter what, he didn't get carried away by love this time, he didn't ignore the emperor's life, and he didn't ignore his relatives in Beijing.

However, he said that Wei Chenglin had calmed down the bandit rebellion in Xiyan that day. He originally planned to cooperate with the local government to resettle the people. He never thought that Emperor Yuanyou suddenly issued a decree and ordered him and Yunfu to bring troops and horses to join General Murong and jointly pursue Rong Di. .

Wei Chenglin has heard a lot of glorious deeds about his great-grandfather since he was a child, and he has great admiration for this great-grandfather who has never failed in his life. Therefore, knowing that he can really return to the battlefield with General Murong, who was as famous as his grandfather back then, I have to say that he is still quite excited.

The moment he received the imperial decree, he immediately ordered someone to simply clean it up and set out on the road with Yunfu and his troops.

Less than half a month after the rapid march, he suddenly received a letter from his father, ordering him to bring a small team to rescue people.

The letter did not clearly state who he was trying to save, and Wei Chenglin had no time to think about it.

After driving for a few days, on a secluded mountain road, he actually saw a familiar figure.

"It's you? Why are you here if you didn't follow General Murong to pursue the Rongdi people?"

Murong Tao subconsciously clenched the long sword around his waist, and as soon as he heard his words, the action of wanting to draw the sword stopped, and his mind flashed quickly.

It seems that he didn't specifically come to intercept him, so I don't know...

However, before he could come up with any countermeasures to deal with it, Zhou Wanning's surprised and delighted voice was already heard from the carriage behind him: "Wei, Big Brother Wei!"

Wei Chenglin suddenly raised his eyes to look at the carriage behind him, and asked sharply, "Who is in the carriage?"

His heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and he couldn't believe the voice he heard just now. The voice was too familiar, but it belonged to the person who shouldn't be here.

The moment Zhou Wanning spoke up, Murong Tao knew that the matter had reached the point of unavoidability, and he really did not expect her medicinal effects to pass by so coincidentally when Wei Chenglin appeared.

"Wei, Big Brother Wei, it's me, I'm Ah Wan!" Zhou Wanning was exhausted, but he still struggled to lift the curtain of the car.

When the beautiful face was exposed in the carriage, Wei Chenglin was struck by thunder: "You, why are you here?"

As a prince concubine, how could she appear far away from the capital...

Before Zhou Wanning could answer, he suddenly glared at Murong Tao: "It's you, you kidnapped her?"

Murong Tao sneered, and pulled out the long sword from his waist with a 'bass': "Stop talking nonsense, today you and I should have a break!"

If it wasn't for his plan to cause him to be seriously injured that day, how could Awan marry the third prince? In the final analysis, it was this person who caused him to do this.

Wei Chenglin also hated him very much. He just felt that this person was really unreasonable. How important is a woman's reputation, and how should A Wan be kidnapped by him in the future? What will the third prince think of her? !

He also drew out his long sword, glared angrily, and rode his horse towards Murong Tao, who was wielding the sword.

There was only a sound of 'ping ping ping ping pong' when the weapons were handed over, but after a moment of effort, the two of them fought each other, and their moves were sharp and they did not give in to each other.

Zhou Wanning was in a hurry, desperately shouting to stop, but the two were intertwined with old and new hatreds, and they just wanted to kill each other on the spot immediately, how could they listen to her.

Especially Murong Tao, who lost the hatred of his lover and the hatred that was calculated a few years ago, every time he thinks of it, his murderous intention increases a little bit.

On the contrary, Wei Chenglin was worried about General Murong on the front line, leaving room for every move.

The martial arts of the two were already on the same level. If they both went all out, it would be hard to tell the winner, but now one is dedicated to the other party's death, and the other is showing mercy. After a long time, Wei Chenglin has fallen behind.

Zhou Wanning watched Wei Chenglin nearly die by Murongtao's sword several times, his heart tightened, and he screamed, "Stop, Murongtao, stop me!"

But she would never have imagined that the more she yelled, the more murderous Murong Tao became.

Wei Chenglin was forced to step back by him, and his arm was scratched by the other side without a single touch. A flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and killing intent suddenly appeared.

That being the case, he doesn't have to be merciless!

With a plan in mind, he suddenly shouted loudly, kicked in the air, and swayed his sword again. Taking advantage of Murong Tao's dodge, he suddenly shot, and the long sword pierced the opponent's forehead.

Murong Tao secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly pulled away, narrowly avoiding his sword. Only before he could stand firm, Wei Chenglin killed him again with his next strike.

In an instant, the sword light overflowed, and the murderous aura filled the sky, and also let the guards on both sides look at me, and I looked at you, and they were undecided whether to come forward and help.

Murong Tao sold a flaw. Taking advantage of the opportunity Wei Chenglin raised his sword to usher in, he suddenly pulled out his hand and stabbed the sword towards his chest. A long knife inserted in it opened his sword vigorously.

"Second Uncle?!" Murong Tao was furious, and was about to scold Cheng Yaojin, who was killed, but didn't want to change his face when he saw the face of the other party.

The person who came was his uncle, Murong Jue, the younger brother of General Zhen Guo.

"Beast!" Murong Jue slapped him directly, until blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, which was enough to show how hard he was exerting himself.

"You are a child of the Murong family, and you are a shame for the Murong family!" Murong Jue was so angry that he suddenly flew, kicking him several meters away, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Tie this idiot!!"

Immediately, soldiers stepped forward and tied up Murong Tao, who was struggling to get up.

"Uncle, uncle..." Murong Tao was in a hurry and wanted to say something, but Murong Jue immediately blocked his mouth with a cloth towel, not wanting to listen to him at all.

"There are so many offenses, please don't take offense to Wei Shizi." After cleaning up his nephew, he took a few deep breaths to calm his anger, and bowed his hands to Wei Chenglin.

Wei Chenglin avoided: "Don't dare."

Murong Jue's eyes were a little complicated.

The Wei family and the Murong family have always had a relationship of cooperation and competition. The ancestors were brave and good at fighting, but because of the pressure of the Wei family, they could never reach the top.

Now among the younger generation of the two houses, this Wei Chenglin has gradually emerged, but the greatest hope of the Murong clan is still obsessed with women's lust without repentance.

That day Wei Junhang mentioned to him that his nephew had kidnapped the third concubine. He still didn't believe it. He just blamed him for throwing dirty water on Murong's body. It must be suppressed by the Murong Clan.

But he never imagined that what Wei Junhang said was true!

His good nephew, who pretended to be injured and left the front line, in the name of escorting food and grass, actually went to Beijing to kidnap people in private!

He slowly looked at Zhou Wanning, who was crawling down from the carriage in an embarrassment and trying to come over, killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"General!" Wei Chenglin noticed that he had murderous intentions towards Zhou Wanning, and stepped forward, blocking his sight.

Murong Jue sneered, "Could it be that Shizi Wei was also bewildered by this misfortune?"

Wei Chenglin reminded lightly: "General, she is not an ordinary woman, but the third prince concubine of the current dynasty. If something happens to her, I am afraid that the general will not be able to explain to the third prince."

Murong Jue was just on impulse for a moment. After calming down, he knew that this woman could not be killed. Hearing this, he sneered again: "In this case, this woman will be handed over to Wei Shizi!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Wei Chenglin to react, and left with Murong Tao, who was struggling endlessly.

Wei Chenglin was silent for a moment, then slowly walked out with tears in his eyes, looking at Zhou Wanning excitedly.

"Ah... the third prince concubine, I will order someone to escort you back to Beijing."

"Prince Concubine? You actually called me Concubine Prince? If it wasn't because you left without a word, how could I become this Concubine!" Zhou Wanning's eyes widened in disbelief.

"I'm sorry for what happened back then." Wei Chenglin was silent for a while, his face hard to hide his shame.

Whatever the reason, it was indeed his fault that he left her behind and walked away silently.

"You know what? In order to meet you, I even tried to get myself into Murongtao's hands, because I knew that you would definitely come to save me. Look, didn't I guess right? In my most dangerous place At that time, you really came!" Zhou Wanning said with tears.

"You fell into Murong Tao's hands on purpose?" Wei Chenglin frowned.

"How did you know Murong Tao's plans?"

"Do you believe it? We were husband and wife in our last life, and Murong Tao also kidnapped me like this in our last life. You came back and saved me!" Zhou Wanning grabbed his sleeve, a touch of tenderness on his face.

"You're frightened, I'll have someone take you back to Beijing!" Wei Chenglin said with concern when she saw that she started to babble nonsense, even saying such things in her previous life.

"I'm not talking nonsense, it's true, we were a loving couple in our last life, because my mother, that is, Madam Wei pushed me off the carriage, causing me to be kidnapped by Murong Tao, you, you also sent her to the family temple. "Zhou Wanning became anxious when he saw that he didn't believe it.

"Nonsense!" Wei Chenglin stopped her.

"Send the biological mother to the temple to die, how is this different from the beast!"
