Chapter 167 This Is the Trouble
Huo Rong took a sip from the cup, and said in a rambling voice, "If he killed me, was it to make Ling Yuan get his wish?"

Xie Peng was stunned.

After killing Huo Rong, Ling Yuan was determined to win Shen Ying.But after all, Shen Ying still faces a series of difficulties.Her status as a married woman and her crimes against Ling Yan could not allow her to successfully become Mrs. Wu Ninghou.

In contrast, Yang Ji gave up accepting Shen Ying as his side concubine and instead reached out to Ling Yuan at the right time, clearing away the obstacles for Ling Yuan to marry Shen Ying, and even using means to give Shen Ying a way to clear her name. Let her show up in the capital again innocently—not to mention Ling Yuan, even Huo Rong himself would find it difficult to refuse.

In this case, Ling Yuan accepted Yang Ji's affection, so he could only be used by Yang Ji.

From this point of view, it is indeed much more beneficial than directly attacking Shen Ying again!
"Then it looks like Yang Ji will find Ling Yuan soon." He looked at Huo Rong, "I'm afraid your relationship will not go well."

Huo Rong looked deeply: "Let's see how Ling Yuan chooses."

Speaking of this, he said again: "The married ones will be put on hold until the news from Ling Yuan comes.

"The headache right now is that Yang Ji wants to kill me. The group of people he sent are all dead, so they will definitely not let it go. If they come again, they may not necessarily assassinate me, but they may stare at me.

"This is the troublesome place. The shadow guards can no longer show up casually, and you must be more careful when you go in and out in the future."

Xie Peng said: "Originally, we could have played tricks to make him believe that there is no possibility that you and Shen Ying could be together. Now that all the guards have silenced it, it is not easy to hide it from him."

But at the time of the incident, silence was necessary.If any news is leaked and Yang Ji knows that there are many court shadow guards around him, it will cause endless troubles.

Huo Rong didn't say anything.

……

Chang Ying didn't bother about Huo Rong's injury anymore, anyway, Mama Wu would always tell her the news about Ji Xiang's return.

Mama Wu stewed soup for Huo Rong every day, which made the house smell of tonic all day long. Now she has to detour when she sees live chickens, and she doesn't know how Huo Rong feels after drinking soup for days.

In the next few days, I didn't hear any news about the marriage from the Huo family. Changying basically believed that what Huo Rong said that day was nothing more than Huo Rong's nonsense in order to get rid of her. Later, he met in the Yawei, so he also stopped. I asked about my sadness.

He responded indifferently, and Changying didn't take it to heart.

Compared with proposing marriage, she is more willing to think about the prince's intention to assassinate him.

Four or five days after the incident, Changying learned about their distress from Tong Qi, and naturally determined that the prince was responsible.

In comparison, even if the emperor wanted to deal with the Huo family, it seemed that he had no reason to attack suddenly at this moment, so the prince was more suspicious.

She also felt that this matter was caused by Liu Wei.

But if it was because of Liu Wei, then obviously she should also be targeted, so why didn't they touch her?Is it too late or is there another reason?
I have thought a lot, but unfortunately there are no clues, so it is really hard to figure out what to do.

Because Huo Rong was in danger, Changying also paid some attention to the recent folk customs in Huzhou, and the result was that there were still a lot of bandits, and there were news of bandits disturbing the people from time to time.

After receiving a letter from Shaoqing in the last ten days, I realized that Ling Yuan had also been to Hangzhou.

Ling Yuan hasn't had any contact with her recently. She doesn't know if his aunt has given him any clues about Ling Yan, but thinking about it, it's impossible. If so, why did Ling Yan hide it from them?

However, with the guards he left behind to help in Hangzhou, Shaoqing should be more comfortable.Because Hangzhou is more restless than Huzhou.

One day Ning asked her about the day when she would take a rest and invited her to the city to watch a play.

While combing her hair, Mrs. Xu came to the door again. It turned out that she and Xu Lan had already set a departure date, and on that day, she came to say goodbye. The opportunity to meet is not bad at this moment.

Changying then sealed a few delicate gifts for Mama Wu, first went to Xu's house to see him off, and exchanged a few pleasantries with Xu Lan.

Before leaving, Xu Lan told her the camp he was about to transfer to, and it turned out to be the guard of the Chinese army's governor's mansion, and he was going to serve as the deputy commander of the guard.

"I'll go north first, and wait for you to enter Beijing as soon as possible!" He said with a smile.

Changying was also happy for him.

Thinking about it on the way into the city, it is almost June now, and there are only seven months left in the previous eight months. After waiting for more than three years, the dawn is almost approaching.

The theater company Ning found was not small, and the people who came and went were either rich or expensive.

Ning's booked a box theater seat with an excellent location, and she was the only one there. Changying thought Song Jun would follow, so she took the snacks she had brought.

"His father sent a letter and brought him a doll. He didn't want to come out after playing." Ning smiled, and then turned her eyes away, "But I didn't tell him that I will pick you up, take him to the theater, listen to it." No."

Chang Ying took advantage of the situation and asked, "Scholar Song, are they okay in Beijing?"

Ning's smile narrowed, she refilled her tea, and said: "My father-in-law's spirit is very good."

Changying clicked and stopped asking no more.But he didn't ignore the slight sorrow between her brows.

This pampered young lady can bring her eldest son and mother-in-law back to the ancestral house, so there is no need to worry about her status in her husband's family.

The sad look on her brows when she mentioned Song Cheng at this moment can only be a family matter.

But at this moment, apart from the fact that Song Cheng was in court against the Gu family, what else could there be?

Ning ordered a few literary plays, and the two talked while watching.

There was a sound of gongs and drums below, and as soon as it was over, there was some commotion at the gate of the garden when the scene was about to turn. Many people got up and walked out one after another, discussing something while walking.

"What's going on?" Ning became suspicious.

Just when the gongs and drums stopped during the transition, Chang Ying listened carefully for a moment and said, "I don't know what happened on the street, many people are making noise."

Ning's color changed slightly.

As a member of the military family, Changying couldn't stand by and watch this kind of thing happen, but she was concerned that Ning was the young mistress of a high family, so she said, "I'll go down and have a look, you sit down first."

Ning nodded.

Huzhou City is very prosperous, and the opera garden is engaged in the business of people with status, and there are many shops along the street.

The place where the accident happened was at the entrance of a restaurant. Several people were fighting. It was probably surrounded by people, but at this moment, everyone retreated because of the fight.

Both sides of the sparring are Lianjiazi, but the number is three to one, and the moves are like Jianghu people. The person who was besieged has already been injured, and the words and deeds of the other three are somewhat awkward.

There was a commotion around, many vendors had already knocked to the ground, there were old people shouting and children crying, some people were calling the newspaper officer, and some people followed suit.

Changying came out today without a sword, so she called Zixiang back to the theater to get a weapon, and then asked the people around her, "I'm from Nankangwei. What's going on?"

Immediately, someone said: "I don't know what's going on! But those three people seem to be from Dongying!"
