Chapter 269: Darkness Under the Light
The sky was slightly bright, and a funeral was held in the palace, and the two concubines entered the palace from Jiafu and the post station one after another.
It didn't become a big hit, it was secretly carried into the palace.
The emperor was in the imperial study, looking at the twists and turns, and there were many twists and turns for last night's events, claiming that there must be hidden secrets in them, and the case should not be hastily decided.
Who doesn't know, there is another hidden truth in this, the power of the Jia family is in full swing, even if all the ministers know it, the emperor can only discipline the people in the harem and ban them.
The queen's niece entered the palace and was crowned as a concubine, while the princess of the northern kingdom entered the palace and was named a concubine of the moon.
Xue Ning sat in the room, her face was a little indifferent, and she didn't say a word for a long time, just because the third princess fell straight in front of her eyes.
"Ning'er, are you still thinking about that now?" Chen Qianqian walked up, reached out and patted her on the back, her face still a little worried.
"How don't you want to, the scene at that time ......"
Xue Ning said, the scene of that day instantly appeared in his mind, not because he was afraid, but because he didn't know what people were living for, he was so calculated, but he regarded others as fools, and the palace maid must have been the one who escaped by luck.
And the hatred in her eyes made her want to kill the queen, but unfortunately the cup of tea was poured over the third princess.
But the whole thing is so hasty, without a good explanation, the ministers must be dissatisfied, and although the emperor is a Ming monarch, he is always afraid to do things, for fear that if he is careless, the father and son of the Jia family will be anxious and rebel, so he will secretly order Li Yinhong to disintegrate the Jia family's forces little by little.
Presumably today's incident was originally like imprisoning Commander Jia, and by the way, it was to save Xue Ning.
It's just that Xue Ning has Xia He by his side, so he doesn't have to worry about poisoning at all, and what the palace maid who came to replace the wine said should not only arrange poison, but also other frames.
At this moment, Leng Yi said something in Xue Ning's ear, and she immediately stood up, "What? Are you sure the news is reliable?"
"It's true. Leng Yi nodded.
At this time, Zihua inadvertently walked up, looked at Xue Ning, and saluted slightly, "County Lord, I don't know what is going on, I need a slave to go and do it for me?"
Zihua has a very good relationship with everyone in recent days, but often there is time to say a word to her.
"I want to eat and drink the pastries together, why don't you go and help me bring some back?" Xue Ning smiled softly and said in a voice.
"Drink and get together, but you went to the north of the city, are you sure you want to let the slave and maid go?" Zihua's words were threatening, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.
Although Chen Qianqian didn't know what Leng Yi said, she always felt that she was avoiding painting, she walked up quickly, "If you are told to go, you will go, such a mother-in-law, is it possible that the county lord has to serve you?"
"The slave doesn't dare, the slave and the maid will go!" Zihua said, and walked downstairs quickly, but her eyes squinted at the attic opposite, and a figure in the attic nodded, and then jumped into the pavilion.
The man was dressed as a person from the rivers and lakes, his face was extremely cold, he held a sword in his hand, put it directly on the table, and said angrily: "Boss, have a shrimp dumpling!"
Xiao Er got the words, and hurriedly went to the back kitchen to order shrimp dumplings, Xue Ning looked at the sky, it was still afternoon, how could anyone come to eat at this time, she immediately realized that it was not only Zihua who was watching alone, no wonder Zihua had been moving a lot less recently.
Xue Ning said a few words in Leng Yi's ear, and she took Autumn Leaves downstairs and left.
Seeing this, the man didn't serve the shrimp dumplings yet, he immediately picked up the sword on the table and was about to go out, but at this time, Leng Yi immediately walked up, "This guest officer, your shrimp dumplings have been cooked, what do you mean by leaving now?"
The man flashed the sword in his hand, glared angrily and motioned Leng Yi to get out of the way, but Leng Yi sneered and shook his head, "The shrimp dumplings are ready, if you don't eat them, then pack them back!"
Leng Yi had an argument with the man, and when he saw that the man was unwilling, he deliberately called out and said that the man was doing something to her, so he entangled the man and whisked the silver, handed over the silver, and chased it out, Xue Ning had already disappeared.
Xue Ning and Qiu Ye quickly shuttled through the crowd, it turned out that it was not just one person guarding her, the coldness was quickly stopped, and the two separated in an instant.
At the entrance of the alley, Xue Ning kept running, and was suddenly grabbed by a person by the shoulder and taken into the alley.
Xue Ning was so frightened that she wanted to scream, but the familiar smell made her know that the man behind her was Li Yinhong.
A piece of dead wood was everywhere, looking at an abandoned firewood house, the firewood sticks on the ground had been drilled by insects, so they hid behind the dead wood, watching the figures outside move back and forth, as if looking for Xue Ning's whereabouts.
After looking around, I didn't see anyone, so I left.
"You were held hostage by Jia Kun?" asked Li Yinhong after a while.
Xue Ning turned his head to look at Li Yinhong and snorted coldly, "This is not something you should worry about, it's just that your people have spies, do you know?"
"Spy?" Li Yinhong's eyes sank, he trusted his subordinates to the fullest, and no one could betray him at all!
Xue Ning shook off Li Yinhong's hand and said in a cold voice: "I'll just say it here, believe it or not!"
After that, Xue Ning just turned around and stopped again, "You should pay more attention to your recent activities, it's best to stop!"
"How do you know so clearly?" Li Yinhong asked, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, Xue Ning had already taken out the hidden weapon in his hand and left quickly.
Li Yinhong looked at the direction in which Xue Ning left, he wanted to catch up, but he stopped, now Jia Kun's people were already closely monitoring her, he didn't want to make trouble for Xue Ning!
As soon as Xue Ning arrived downstairs, he met Zihua who had bought pastries and came back.
"County Lord, where have you been!" Zihua asked in a cold voice, and after looking around, except for the one next door who was still in the house, the rest were gone.
"Where am I going, I still have to report to you?" Xue Ning took the pastry and immediately went upstairs, and the dead wood stained at the corner of his clothes touched the mouth of the ladder and fell to the ground.
Zihua walked up, picked up the dead wood on the ground, and looked at Xue Ning's back thoughtfully, she paused for a moment, and then immediately turned around and left.
This time, the place where Zihua went was Zuixianglou, Jia Kun sat between the women, reached out and stroked the woman's chin, kissed it, and then said coldly: "You'd better have important news!"
Zihua found that Xue Ning and King Yin had an intersection. ”
