Chapter 179: Aunt Jing Appears, and the Truth Slowly Comes to Light
Everyone was completely shocked. Shen Qing's riding skills were so superb!
And this also makes it more and more obvious that their little plan is like a joke.
However, at least his life was saved.
Before everyone could take a breath, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind them again. Before everyone could react, they saw shadows cast from the sky again, blocking most of the scorching sun.
When everyone was stunned, Lan Yin had already driven the horse to the ground, leaving only a neat and elegant back.
He Wenyue couldn't help but his eyes widened, and he couldn't help shouting in shock: "Are the riding skills of women in Shengjing now like this..."
Jumping nearly ten feet away, it was clear that there was no way for them to survive!
Mu Ziqian bit his lip and said nothing, staring at the place where the beautiful figure disappeared in front of him, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Second Young Master Pei glanced at Mu Ziqian quietly, and happened to catch a flash of regret in his eyes. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: If he cheated on such a talented and beautiful wife, he would be stunned. die.
When Shen Qing and Lan Yin finished three laps, Lu Yan and Meng Guanlan were still moving around in the first lap, looking as leisurely as if they were on an outing.
As soon as Shen Qing got off the horse, a shy young man approached Shen Qing and asked in a low voice, "I wonder which family this girl is from. Are you lucky enough to get to know her?"
With her beautiful appearance and superb riding skills, it is difficult not to attract men.
Lu Yan, who was not far away, saw this scene. He quickly drove his horse and ran a few steps. He stood side by side in front of Shen Qing. He took out the water bag that he had prepared long ago with great consideration and said with a sweet smile, "Jiao Jiao, drink water."
When the young man saw it, he immediately turned around and left with a disappointed look on his face.
The scene where Shen Qing was shown her favor in public and Lu Yan domineeringly declared his sovereignty was fully visible to Mu Ziqian and his entourage who had just returned. At this moment, Mu Ziqian's complexion suddenly dropped.
Second Young Master Pei sighed again: Hey, just wait, there will be many days of regret in the future!
After a long silence, Mu Ziqian stepped forward again without giving up, "Shen Qing, I admit that you are indeed better than the horseman, so I want to compete with you in archery again. Do you dare to answer?"
Shen Qing glanced at him and then looked away. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he refused simply and neatly, "No, it's too weak."
After saying that, he and Lu Yan walked side by side towards the entrance of the racecourse.
It's getting late, it's time to go back to the city.
Before leaving, Shen Qing kindly reminded a few people: "By the way, Third Young Master He just fell off his horse and may have broken his leg again. I advise you to go and have a look as soon as possible."
Hearing this, He Wenyue panicked immediately. No wonder he hadn't seen He Wensheng until now.
Mu Ziqian stared at Shen Qing's back for a moment, and finally turned around to follow He Wenyue and others.
The four of them left the horse training ground and rode a carriage towards the city gate. Since there were only two carriages, they were divided between men and women.
The group entered the city smoothly and sent Meng Guanlan and Lan Yin back to the Meng family. Shen Qing wanted to go back to the Yining Marquis Mansion, but saw Lu Yan with an aggrieved look on his face, "Jiaojiao, today is my birthday. It's my birthday tonight." Don’t you want to eat with me?”
In this way, Shen Qing followed Lu Yan back to Prince Jing'an's Mansion.
However, when the two of them arrived at the gate of Prince Jing'an's palace, an old woman dressed in coarse linen suddenly stood in front of Lu Yan's carriage, knelt down and asked, "Is this the chariot of Prince Lu Yan, the eldest son of Prince Jing'an?"
Lize asked coldly: "Who are you?"
The old woman's cloudy eyes narrowed, as if she was recalling something from the past, "This old slave is Grandma Jing. I wonder if the prince still remembers her?"
As soon as the words "Mother Jing" came out, the carriage door was immediately opened from the inside.
Nanny Jing looked up and saw that the young prince in her memory had grown up, but there were still some traces of the past on his face, especially those eyes, which were exactly the same as Mo Wansheng's. .
Lu Yan still remembers Grandma Jing's appearance, but compared to eight years ago, Grandma Jing is much older.
Lu Yan paused for a moment, then came back to his senses and asked in confusion: "Why did grandma suddenly appear here?"
Li Yu and Ling Yi have been looking for Nanny Jing for some time, but they still haven't found a single clue. Now Nanny Jing suddenly appeared in front of Prince Jing'an's Mansion, which made Lu Yan couldn't help but think a little more.
A hint of deep meaning flashed in Aunt Jing's eyes, "Because today is the prince's eighteenth birthday, I was entrusted by the princess to give the prince something."
Lu Yan frowned slightly, but did not continue to ask. This was not a good place to talk.
With Lu Yan's permission, Grandma Jing followed the carriage into Prince Jing'an's Mansion smoothly.
Seeing the familiar Prince Jing'an again after eight years, Grandma Jing couldn't help but have a flash of nostalgia in her eyes. However, the mansion was still there, but her old friend had been gone for a long time.
It wasn't until she entered Qingzhu Garden that Nanny Jing saw Shen Qing.
No need for Lu Yan to introduce him, just by seeing Lu Yan's gentle expression, Grandma Jing guessed Shen Qing's identity.
However, the matter was of great importance, so Grandma Jing still reminded her: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the secrets of the Princess and the Mo family. Your Majesty still invites this girl..."
Before Nanny Jing finished saying the words "It's best to go out", Lu Yan said seriously: "Nanny, this is my fiancée. She can and should know all my secrets."
Seeing Lu Yan like this, Grandma Jing immediately understood. She did not mention the matter again, but expressed concern: "Eight years have passed. Is the prince's health feeling better?"
Lu Yan's voice was calm, "It's still like that."
"I wonder where grandma has been these years?"
Madam Jing also knew that her sudden disappearance and reappearance would inevitably arouse suspicion, so she spoke truthfully: "When the princess was dying, she gave me an important task and asked me to complete it. The princess had been poisoned several times before her death, and she knew that the mansion was not safe, so she asked me to leave the mansion immediately after she was buried.
After leaving the mansion, I did not return to Lingnan, but lived in a village outside the city. It was not until today that I dared to appear in front of the prince."
Madam Jing knew that the most dangerous place was the safest place. Besides, Lu Yan was still in the Jing'an Prince's Mansion. She did not want to leave the orphan of the first lord alone in Shengjing while she left alone.
Later, when Madam Jing heard that Lu Yan was sent away from Shengjing by Jing'an Prince, she felt relieved and continued to wait in that village for Lu Yan to return.
After that, Nanny Jing took out a green lotus hairpin from her bosom and handed it to Lu Yan, saying with some nostalgia: "This hairpin was the favorite jewelry of the princess when she was alive. It contains something that the princess valued more than her life. It is also the thing that the princess asked to hand over to the prince personally before her death."
Lu Yan did not move, but his eyes were fixed on the lotus on the hairpin. He didn't know if it was intuition, but he always felt that there was something inside that was silently attracting him.
Nanny Jing said: "Inside the lotus is the secret that the prince wants, and it is also the key to remove the poison from the prince. The prince only needs to drop a drop of blood, and the things inside will automatically float out."
Lu Yan paused for a moment, but still picked up the silver needle and pierced his fingertips, because Nanny Jing's eyes were calm and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
The blood with the scent of medicine dripped on the green lotus, slowly seeped into it, and finally disappeared completely.
