Nangong Yu's words made Nangong Ling even more annoyed, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a secret guard walking down the narrow staircase, came to Nangong Ling, knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Master, Shangshu Zhongcheng of the Ministry of War died on the way home."

"What"? Nangong Ling was shocked when she heard this, and said coldly: "Do you know who did it?"

The dark guard shook his head and replied: "According to Zhong Cheng's entourage, several men in black came out of the sky and got into Zhong Cheng's carriage, they only heard Zhong Cheng shouting, he really didn't know where King Yu was imprisoned, and then the men in black left, and the entourage looked at it again, Zhong Cheng had died in the carriage."

Nangong Ling frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, turned to look at Nangong Yu, a grim color flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "It seems that Brother Wang's people are starting to act, why don't we play a game of cat and mouse, I want to see how big this mouse's ability is."

Nangong Yu snorted weakly, slowly lowered his head, the wound on his back was painful, so that he could no longer support it, and as soon as his black eyes were closed, he passed out.

Seeing this, Nangong Ling didn't continue, glanced at the secret guard behind him, and commanded sharply: "Show him closely, and don't let anyone get close to the Tongque Palace, except for the Queen Mother and me, anyone who gets close to half a step will be killed."

"Yes, master", the secret guard behind him heard the words and led in unison.

Jing Xue Xuan Shui Lianyue stood at the door, looking at the surrounding scenery with an indifferent expression, the ancient trees are towering, there are countless bonsai, begonias and jasmine peonies compete for beauty, the breeze blows, and the faint fragrance rushes into the nose, which is extremely comfortable and comfortable, the two palace maids have gone down to rest, and the injuries of the red tassels and autumn leaves are also slightly better, but they still can't get out of bed.

During the day, Dongxue brought back the news, saying that she saw the sign of her contact with her master, which showed that there was a little more hope of escaping, Nangong Ling had not been to Jingxuexuan for three days, for her, this was a good phenomenon, because how much she hoped that Nangong Ling would be so busy that she forgot that she was a person.

The surroundings were quiet, but she could still hear the breathing of the secret guards who were ambushed around Jing Xue Xuan, and the number of them was definitely more than ten times more than when they were in the Yuwang Mansion, because these secret guards changed every three hours, and they hid in very secret places, if it were not for the people with the highest internal strength, it was impossible to determine the specific location.

For a long time, she sighed lightly, her gaze retracted, and her beautiful face was dyed with a faint melancholy, she knew that she should not refuse Leng Liuyun that day, she could completely let Leng Liuyun save her mother first, and then she could have no worries, and she would not be like now, under house arrest by Nangong Ling in the palace, there was no way at all.

It's just that she also clearly knows that Leng Liuyun has a purpose, if he asks him to help, even if he escapes, he will undoubtedly jump from one fire pit to another, there is no difference.

Suddenly, there were faint shredded footsteps outside Jing Xue Xuan, accompanied by a crisp female voice, "Hey, why is this Jing Xue Xuan lit by candlelight?" When did you live there? How did I not know"?

"Back to the princess, although the slave maid is not clear, but, this is the emperor's order, no one is allowed to approach here, let's go", the little palace maid beside Nangong Ning hung her head slightly, holding her arm and about to turn away.

Nangong Ning raised her chin, a touch of flamboyance flashed on her face, and she snorted coldly: "Of course, I have to listen to my brother's orders, but I am a dignified princess, except for the queen mother and my brother, I am the biggest, this princess is just looking at it, isn't it okay?" As soon as the words fell, he shook off the palace maid's hand and walked towards Jing Xuexuan.

Separated by a wall, Shui Lianyue naturally listened to Nangong Ning's words word for word, and then, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth, revealing a touch of disdain, it is really a narrow road, although they have only had one side, but Nangong Ning's hatred for her is like an enemy who can't let go of her for many years, if she lets Nangong Ning know that she is here, maybe she will cause some trouble.

Thinking of this, Shui Lianyue turned around and entered the house, extinguished the red wax in the house, Nangong Ning came to the door in a few steps, pushed open the door, but saw the red wax in the house extinguished, and suddenly became puzzled, just about to step in, a few black shadows suddenly flashed in front of her, knelt in front of her, and said respectfully: "Princess, please go back, the emperor has instructed that no one is allowed to step into Jingxue Xuan for half a step."

Nangong Ning looked closely, it was actually her brother's secret guard, her brother has always loved her the most, although she is not a mother's compatriot, but she is better than a compatriot, in the past, she wanted the wind and the rain, even if she made a mistake, her brother was reluctant to blame her, not to mention that it was just the secret guard by her brother's side, she didn't care about it.

"Bold, you are just slaves, you dare to block the way of this princess, not to mention, this princess just takes a look, it will not harm my brother's business, if you get out of the way now, this princess will never care, if you don't get out of the way, beware of this princess wants your head", Nangong Ning looked arrogant, glared at his eyes, and reprimanded fiercely.

"Please don't embarrass the slave, the emperor has ordered it", without waiting for the dark guard to finish speaking, Nangong Ning raised his leg and kicked over, the dark guard was agile, and dodged with a dodge, but it made Nangong Ning more and more annoyed, "You rely on your brother, don't you take this princess in your eyes?" If you are so bold, you dare to hide, believe it or not, this princess will immediately call someone to come over and arrest you all, and when the time comes, this princess will definitely want your heads to fall to the ground."

Although the secret guard only obeys Nangong Ling's dispatch, but Nangong Ning is the treasure on the tip of the queen mother's heart, and the emperor also loves her very much, although she is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, but it does not affect the queen mother and the emperor's favor for her, these are all in their eyes, now hearing the princess's words, I can't help but tremble, there has been such a sentence in the palace: I would rather offend the emperor and the queen mother can not offend this princess, if she says that she wants their heads, to the ears of the queen mother, their heads will not be able to be saved, even if the emperor comes forward, I am afraid it will be difficult.

Nangong Ning saw that several secret guards still didn't speak, and they didn't get out of the way, so they turned around and was about to leave, "The princess stays, and the minions get out of the way."

Inside the house, Shui Lianyue has been quietly listening to the movement outside, when she heard the words of the secret guard's compromise, she couldn't help but feel extremely funny, the emperor's secret guard, after meeting the princess, would rather not listen to the master's orders than dare to offend the princess, but, then again, this Nangong Ning is not the queen mother's own child, but she is more favored than her own child, and Nangong Ling is also like this, she loves this half-sister very much, looking at her words and deeds, you know that she is a tricky and arrogant woman, she will cut off people's heads at every turn, and she is by no means a kind person, which can be seen, Nangong Ning is definitely not favored by being cute and well-behaved, there must be other skills.
