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 made their little calculation look like a joke.
However, at least their lives were saved.
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind again. Before everyone could react, they saw the shadow in the sky cast again, blocking most of the scorching sun.
While everyone was stunned, Lan Yin had driven the horse to the ground, leaving only a neat and handsome back.
He Wenyue couldn't help but widen his eyes and couldn't help but say in shock: "Is the riding skills of women in Shengjing so bad now..."
Leaping nearly ten feet, this is clearly leaving them no way 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 Master Pei glanced at Mu Ziqian quietly, and just happened to see the regret flashing in his eyes. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: If he ruined such a talented and beautiful wife, he would be so angry.
When Shen Qing and Lan Yin finished running three laps, Lu Yan and Meng Guanlan were still moving around in the first lap, looking leisurely as if they were on a picnic.
As soon as Shen Qing turned over and got off the horse, a shy young man came towards Shen Qing and asked in a low voice: "I wonder which family the young lady is from, and if I have the honor to meet her?"
With her beautiful appearance and superb riding skills, it is difficult for a man not to be moved.
Lu Yan, who was not far away, saw this scene, and hurriedly drove his horse to run a few steps, stood shoulder to shoulder in front of Shen Qing, and took out the water bag that he had prepared long ago with great consideration, smiling tenderly, "Jiaojiao, drink water."
The young man saw it and immediately turned away with a look of disappointment on his face.
The scene of Shen Qing being shown favor in public and Lu Yan domineeringly swearing sovereignty was seen by Mu Ziqian and his party who had just returned. At this time, Mu Ziqian's face, which was already complicated, fell directly.
Second Master Pei sighed again: Hey, wait, there will be many days of regret in the future!
After a long silence, Mu Ziqian stepped forward again, "Shen Qing, I admit that you are indeed better than riding, so I want to compete with you in archery again, do you dare to accept?"
Shen Qing glanced at him and retracted his gaze, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and refused straightforwardly, "No, too weak."
After saying that, he walked towards the entrance of the racecourse side by side with Lu Yan and others.
It was getting late, and it was time to go back to the city.
Before leaving, Shen Qing kindly reminded them, "By the way, Mr. He San just fell off his horse, maybe his leg is broken 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 while, and finally turned around and followed He Wenyue and the others.
The four of them left the horse training ground and drove towards the city gate in a carriage. Because there were only two carriages, they were divided by gender.
The group entered the city smoothly. After sending Meng Guanlan and Lan Yin back to the Meng family, Shen Qing wanted to go back to Yining Marquis's Mansion on the way, but saw Lu Yan's aggrieved look, "Jiaojiao, today is my birthday, don't you eat dinner with me?"
In this way, Shen Qing followed Lu Yan back to Jing'an Palace.
However, just as the two of them were walking to the gate of Jing'an Prince's Mansion, an old woman in coarse linen suddenly blocked Lu Yan's carriage and knelt down to ask: "Excuse me, is this the carriage of Jing'an Prince Lu Yan?"
Lize asked coldly: "Who are you?"
The old woman's cloudy eyes condensed, as if she recalled something in the past, "This old servant is Madam Jing, I wonder if the prince still remembers it?"
As soon as the three words "Madam Jing" came out, the carriage door was immediately opened from the inside.
Madam Jing looked up and saw that the little prince in her memory had grown up, but she could still vaguely see some of his past shadows from his face, especially his eyes, which were exactly the same as Mo Wansheng.
Lu Yan still remembered what Madam Jing looked like, but compared to eight years ago, Madam Jing was much older.
Lu Yan paused for a moment before coming back to his senses, wondering, "Why did Mammy suddenly appear here?"
Li Yu and Ling Yi had been looking for Mammy Jing for some time, but they had never found any clues. Now Mammy Jing suddenly appeared in front of the Jing'an Palace, which made Lu Yan think more.
Mammy Jing's eyes flashed with deep meaning, "Because today is the prince's 18th birthday, I was entrusted by the princess to give the prince something."
Lu Yan's eyebrows were slightly frowned, but he did not continue to ask, this was not a good place to talk.
With Lu Yan's consent, Mammy Jing followed the carriage into the Jing'an Palace smoothly.
After eight years, seeing the familiar Jing'an Palace again, Mammy Jing couldn't help but flash a little nostalgia in her eyes, but the mansion was still there, but the old friend had left long ago.
Mammy Jing didn't see Shen Qing until she entered Qingzhu Garden.
Mammy Jing guessed Shen Qing's identity at a glance of Lu Yan's gentle expression without Lu Yan's introduction.
However, since the matter was of great importance, Madam Jing still reminded him, "Prince, this matter concerns the secrets of the princess and the Mo family. Prince, please ask this girl..."
Madam Jing had not finished saying the four words "it's better to leave" when she heard Lu Yan say seriously, "Madam, this is my fiancée. She can and should know all my secrets."
Seeing Lu Yan like this, Madam Jing understood immediately and did not mention the matter again. Instead, she said with concern, "Eight years have passed. Is the prince's health better?"
Lu Yan said calmly, "Still the same."
"I wonder where Madam has been all 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 the village for Lu Yan to return.
After that, Madam 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.
Madam 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 Madam 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.
