When King Xing's battle report came again, the emperor was accompanying Wei Ning'er to watch the play to relieve his boredom.

This time, King Xing lured the enemy deep and wiped out all the rogues, causing them to suffer heavy losses. When the emperor heard this, he was very satisfied.

"Your Majesty." Wei Ning'er poured a glass of wine for the emperor, handed it to the emperor's mouth, and said softly, "King Xing has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and the rogue is only a few tens of thousands, why hasn't he taken down the rogue until now, but wants to play such a small trick?" Ning Er's knowledge is shallow, and she always feels that this action makes me very useless against the army. ”

The emperor didn't take the wine glass, his eyes swept over the wine glass, and finally fixed on Wei Ning'er, his cold eyes made people panic for no reason.

A chill welled up in her heart, and Wei Ning'er immediately knelt on the ground: "Minister, the concubine lost her words, and I ask the emperor to forgive her sins!" The glass fell to the ground, and the clear wine was scattered all over the ground.

There was silence for a long time before the emperor spoke: "Get up, you who have a body, don't kneel down without moving." ”

"Thank you...... Emperor Xie. Wei Ning'er stood up, but she didn't dare to say anything more about the topic just now.

On the second day, the emperor made a break and urged King Xing to suppress the bandits. There is no mention of King Xing's strategy to exterminate the general rogue.

When Wei Ning'er heard this, she hooked her lips slightly, and the emperor still listened to her words.

Concubine Li has been locking herself in the palace since the morning and has not seen anyone.

At lunchtime, CRBT knocked on the door and walked in.

"Niangniang......" CRBT walked to the side of the bed and carefully called Concubine Li.

Concubine Li raised her head, her cold eyes, and stared at the ringtones. CRBT held her breath and stiffened.

After a long time, Concubine Li's cold voice came: "Cai Ling, do something for the palace." ”

"Please give me the command." CRBT bowed her head.

Concubine Li muttered a few words in her ear, and then let the ringtones retreat.

Wei Ning'er, you forced me. The five fingers caressing the tassel gradually closed, and a trace of madness appeared in Concubine Li's silent eyes.

"Why didn't the princess come?" After making the dishes ready, Wei Ning'er asked Chu Yunxi.

"The princess is infected with the wind and cold, and she is afraid that she will be sick to her mother." Chu Yunxi lowered her eyes slightly and said lightly. In the name of gratitude, Wei Ning'er invited her and Feng Lan to share dinner in the Frost Palace. She was guarding against Wei Ning'er, and naturally she didn't want Feng Lan to fall into danger.

"Then let the princess rest well." When Wei Ning'er heard this, she didn't say anything, she was only looking for Chu Yunxi today.

"This palace is looking for His Royal Highness King Jing today, I want to express my gratitude to the princess for saving her life on her birthday." Wei Ning'er said, and ordered someone to send a jade Pixiu.

"No need." Chu Yunxi glanced at Pixiu and said coldly, "This king is afraid that after accepting it, the princess will be wrongfully accused of stealing." ”

Wei Ning'er's expression froze, and then she said: "On that day, it was the palace that was reckless, and I asked King Jing to forgive me." ”

"The princess is unwell, and the king is very worried. If Concubine Ning has nothing to do, this king will retire first. Chu Yunxi said coldly, she didn't want to have too much intersection with Wei Ning'er.

"This palace came to King Jing today, in addition to expressing gratitude, I also want to talk to His Highness about cooperation." Wei Ning'er waved her hand, asked people to close the box containing Pixiu, put it on the table, and said, "There is a queen behind King Jin, and Concubine Li behind King Xing." Among the three kings, you are the only one, and now you are in a state of isolation. King Xing is suppressing bandits outside, holding military power, and Concubine Li has always come to see you unpleasantly, rather than being framed passively, it is better for us to join forces to fight her. Hongu can be your backing and fully support you. ”

"Backing?" Chu Yunxi raised her eyebrows slightly, looked Wei Ning'er up and down, and then showed a mocking smile: "Do you think, do you have that capital?" ”

"You ......" The sarcasm in Chu Yunxi's eyes was too obvious, and Wei Ning'er felt a burst of anger in her heart.

Chu Yunxi sneered and said, "Wei Ning'er, don't take this king for a fool. ”

Wei Ning'er didn't really want to cooperate with her at all, but she just wanted to provoke a war between her and Concubine Li, so that she could reap the benefits of the fisherman. Wei Ning'er couldn't help but think too naïve.

"If you really want to cooperate with this king, come up with something sincere." Chu Yunxi sat opposite Wei Ning'er and looked at her with a smile, "But this king thinks, you can't take out these things." ”

"Do you mean that you are going to refuse to cooperate with Hongu?" Wei Ning'er stared at Chu Yunxi, grabbed the fingers of the teacup, and gradually retracted.

"It's not a refusal." Chu Yunxi said, "From the beginning, we are not in an equal position, and you don't have the capital to negotiate conditions with me. ”

"If you reject this palace, this palace can deal with you like it did with King Xing." Wei Ning'er lowered her eyes slightly and said coldly.

"You can try." Chu Yunxi said, "This king promises, you will regret it." ”

A conversation broke up unhappily, and when Chu Yunxi went out, her face was slightly gloomy.

"Your Highness, please come here." The eunuch who led the way walked in front, turning on the lamp, lighting the way ahead for Chu Yunxi.

As soon as he walked out of the Condensing Frost Palace, Chu Yunxi vaguely heard a scream and frowned slightly.

"Did you hear anything?" Chu Yunxi asked the eunuch in front of him.

The eunuch listened carefully, shook his head, and said, "No, I didn't hear anything. ”

"Probably the king misheard." Chu Yunxi shook his head and asked the eunuch to continue to lead the way.

When he was about to leave the palace gate, a large number of guards suddenly poured out, blocking Chu Yunxi's way.

"What is this?" Chu Yunxi's face sank, and there was displeasure in his words.

"By the emperor's order, please stay in the palace temporarily." Lord Li, the commander of the guards, said.

"Why?" Chu Yunxi tried to take a step forward, and all the guards pulled out their knives and stopped Chu Yunxi.

Chu Yunxi observed the expressions of each of the guards, and Yan sù did not offend her in the slightest panic.

"Your Highness, please don't embarrass us." Master Li bowed and said.

"What the hell is going on?" Chu Yunxi asked.

"Concubine Ning died suddenly in the palace." Master Li said, "The emperor is furious. ”

"What did you say?" The pitch-black pupils shrank slightly, Wei Ning'er turned out to be dead!

"Some palace people have corrected that His Royal Highness had a dispute with Concubine Ning Niangniang in the Condensing Frost Hall today." Master Lee continued.

"You doubt the king?"

"Weichen just obeys the emperor's will."

Chu Yunxi knew that this time, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to get out, so she could only follow the guards back to the palace first.

"You go home first, don't worry Feng Lan." Chu Yunxi lowered his head and said to Jin Ci.

Seeing that the guards showed signs of stopping Jin Ci, Chu Yunxi stepped forward, blocked in front of Jin Ci, and said, "Father only asks you to stop this king, but are there any maids who ask to stop this king?" ”

"This ......," the guard hesitated.

"Concubine Ning's matter has not been settled for a day, and this king is innocent." Chu Yunxi sneered and said, "Today, if you stop Jinci, you will offend this king, and this king is a person who will be avenged." ”

The hand that grasped the hilt of the knife tightened and loosened, and the guard struggled for a while, and finally left with his resignation.

Inside King Jing's Mansion

Xia Fenglan waited for a long time, but she didn't see Chu Yunxi come back, and finally waited for the brocade to come, but it turned out to be such news, Xia Fenglan only felt that her brain was blank in an instant, and her face was dyed with anxiety.

hurriedly changed her clothes, and was about to enter the palace, she couldn't let Chu Yunxi be wronged in vain.

"Princess, you can't enter the palace now." Jin Ci stopped in front of Xia Fenglan and said, "This matter is aimed at His Royal Highness, and the palace must be full of eyeliner now." If the princess enters the palace at this time, if she is detained by someone with a heart, and then uses this matter to blackmail His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness will really be doomed. ”

Chu Yunxi's only weakness is Xia Fenglan.

As soon as Jin Ci mentioned something, Xia Fenglan also understood this matter.

"Princess, don't worry." Jin Ci comforted Xia Fenglan and said, "Since His Highness still has the ability to resign from Jin, it means that His Highness is safe for the time being." His Highness is resourceful, and even if he doesn't have a way to deal with it, he won't put himself in too much danger. We just have to wait for the news and improvise. ”

"I understand." Xia Fenglan took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to sort out what happened.

"Jin Ci," thinking of something, Xia Fenglan asked Jin Ci, "When you and Xi were in the Frost Condensation Palace, did you find any changes?" ”

Jin Ci shook his head, thought about it, and added: "But His Highness seems to have heard something." ”

"I see." Xia Fenglan lowered her eyes, and her ten fingers unconsciously stirred her clothes.

Concubine Ning, I'm afraid it was at that time that something happened. The people who did it were too hard in time.

After pondering for a while, Xia Fenglan asked Jin Ci: "Concubine Ning's body, who has seen it now?" ”

"No one has seen it yet." Jin Ci counted the hours and said. Chu Yunxi's departure from the Condensing Frost Hall was just a stick of incense, and the imperial doctor should have just arrived.

Xia Fenglan frowned and said, "When does the husband usually enter the palace?" ”

"It should be another hour." Jin Ci looked at the sky and said, "The palace gate has just been keyed, and I am afraid it will take a lot of effort to enter the palace." ”

said to Mo Lan: "Mo Lan, prepare a sedan chair and go to Linglong Pavilion." ”

"Yes, Princess." Mo Lan replied.

"Xiuxiu." Xia Fenglan looked anxious and said, "What upright do you know?" She wasn't sure if there was something wrong with the things in the palace, but since this matter was aimed at Chu Yunxi, it was best to think in the worst direction for everything.

"Sister-in-law Fenglan, what's going on?" Chu Xiuxiu looked at Xia Fenglan with a puzzled face.

After listening to Xia Fenglan's explanation, Chu Xiuxiu's expression was also stern, and she said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, when I was at the border, I did know a servant, he moved to Weizhou next to the capital a while ago, so I will send someone to pick him up." ”

"I'm sorry for you, Xiuxiu." Xia Fenglan said.

"I have to trouble the imperial sister-in-law for what I did." Chu Xiuxiu said as she ordered someone to prepare Jiao, "I want to go to the palace first to take a look at the situation and see if there is anything that can help the imperial sister." ”

"Thank you, Xiuxiu." A trace of gratitude appeared in Xia Fenglan's eyes.

"What is there to be thankful for." Chu Xiuxiu smiled and said, "The imperial sister is my big backer, if the imperial sister falls, I won't be able to get mixed up." ”
