239 Assassins

People said that they wanted to say goodbye to the Queen Mother so bluntly, and Xi Ning also bluntly said that it was not easy to refuse, so she had to pretend not to know: "This is the Queen Mother's bedroom nearby?" Unknowingly, I actually came here? Then let's go in and say goodbye, I don't know if it's getting early, and whether her old man has slept. ”

"The Queen Mother has always slept lightly, I'm afraid she didn't go to bed so early." Rong Qinglan took Xi Ning's hand and walked towards the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The queen mother has always disliked luxury, probably because of her humble background, so she has always advocated frugality, but the cost of the harem has been much less.

Xi Ning glanced at the snow-white bright green phoenix pattern brocade dress on her body, and secretly said: Today's clothes are really out of place, and Rong Qinglan is only afraid that she has her own purpose, so it is better for her not to go in, otherwise she will be pulled into the water, and her surface neutrality will not be maintained.

So, Xi Ning pretended not to be careful, and turned over the flower pot on the side with the hem of her skirt.

For a while, the people who followed were in a hurry.

"I accidentally soiled my clothes," Xi Ning smiled apologetically, "It's not good to leave today, so I'd better go back and change my clothes." ”

"It's okay," Rong Qinglan nodded, "It's difficult to walk at night, Your Highness Xining should be careful." ”

"The fourth princess is also more careful, especially when she is pregnant." Xi Ning smiled with concern.

Looking at Xi Ning's back as he walked away, Rong Qinglan helped the big girl dragonfly's hand: "Xi Ning is a smart person, and he knows that there are clouds and tricks in this palace, and he doesn't want to wade into troubled waters." ”

Dragonfly smiled: "As long as she is willing to stand by and watch, as she herself said, what does it have to do with her return to Huaxu in the future?" ”

Rong Qinglan nodded in agreement: "That's exactly the truth." ”

But that's not what Xi Ning really thinks.

Walk around the corner. Xi Ning ordered them to go back first, and then directly took off their gorgeous clothes, revealing black night clothes. first went to the bedroom of the fourth prince Mu Tianzhuo.

This embarrassed couple could never act alone.

"The rear of the palace is all deployed, only the Ziwei battalion in front is the emperor's own people." An unfamiliar male voice said respectfully.

"If you want to make the commander of the Ziwei Battalion sick, you can ask Atai specifically." Mu Tianzhuo said.

"What about His Highness Xi Ning?" The male voice asked.

"When the time comes, trap her in Jingyi Palace, and everything will be released again. We also need Hua Xu to deal with Mo Xuan, and our understanding of Mo Xuan is not even as good as that of the prince. But if there is His Royal Highness Xi Ning. Everything is much easier. Mu Tianzhuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Xi Ning was stunned on the spot.

Mu Tianzhuo is this, rebellion?

She couldn't stay any longer and was about to leave. A cat barked.

Mu Tianzhuo in the hall immediately woke up.

"Where's the cat? What if I shock Lan'er's fetus? Mu Tianzhuo ordered in a cold voice, "Immediately catch it and throw it out!" ”

Immediately, a guard ran out to search for the cat's location.

Xi Ning couldn't help but hold her breath, this cat was so close to her, what if she was also discovered?

Gotta figure figure it out.

Xi Ning set fire to a small pile of dead leaves nearby.

The cat sees the fire. Immediately screamed and ran out. I'm running around like crazy, but I'm not close to where Xi Ning is.

She immediately extinguished the fire, and saw the guards grab the cat.

Xi Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took advantage of the chaos to leave.

Back in Jingyi Palace, Xi Ning asked Qingying without breathing: "Has the county lord of Lixue returned to the palace safely?" ”

"I've returned to the palace, and it's confirmed that it's Lord Lixue himself." Qingying replied.

Xi Ning nodded secretly, thought about it, and wanted to tell Xia Yixue. asked her to mobilize the defense strength of Gyeonggi, but she felt that it was inappropriate. She helped Xia Yixue several times, which was enough to arouse suspicion.

As for the eldest princess of Jingchen. She didn't want to deal with it like that, and she was a little embarrassed.

Xia Yichen was even more embarrassed.

Could it be that there is only the prince?

Xi Ning took a deep breath: "I will go to see the prince early tomorrow morning, I can only knock on the side, whether I can understand it, how to deploy it after understanding, it is his business." ”

Qingying was silent.

He is not good at commenting on the affairs of Daqian. To tell the truth, whoever is the emperor, as long as he doesn't pit Huaxu, there is no problem. It's just His Royal Highness's old feelings, it's hard to choose, right?

Early in the morning of the second day, news came that the emperor had withdrawn the marriage decree of Prince Yu and Princess Long Yu.

The reason shows the demeanor of benevolence and righteousness, and it cannot delay the prince of Yu for a lifetime.

Of course, Xi Ning knew that this reason was prevaricating, what delay for a lifetime, it was almost the same if Princess Long Yu could not be delayed for a lifetime.

But last night Concubine Zhao went to bed, could it be Concubine Zhao's pillow wind?

Also, if Princess Long Yu and Yu Wangfu don't marry, it's hard to say who will kill this military power. Once married, it is secure.

Xi Ning, who got the news, didn't have time to think about it, because she wanted to see the crown prince Mu Tianhong.

The pavilion in the palace is full of flowers, and the distant mountains are beautiful, which is beautiful in the sun.

Mu Tianhong greeted him first, and Xi Ning began to talk about the problem of righteousness and etiquette: "I have always heard that Daqian is a state of etiquette, and everything abides by etiquette, which is more stringent than our Huaxu. But when it comes to observance, it is not so strict. A few days ago, I looked for clues about Mo Xuan, only to find out that King Lu Daoyu actually spoiled his concubine and killed his wife! Why is there no one to care about such a thing? ”

Mu Tianhong didn't understand why Xi Ning suddenly mentioned this matter, and only said perfunctorily: "People with authority are good at hiding their mistakes, and use authority to suppress them, so that no one will investigate their faults." ”

Xi Ning shook his head: "I think that etiquette is a principle and must be followed. If the person is unrestrained because he has authority, then the world is even more chaotic. Therefore, I don't think it's in line with the path of justice not to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this matter. ”

"What does His Highness Xi Ning mean?" Mu Tianhong suddenly realized that Xi Ning was afraid that he was going to say something important.

"Why did we suddenly come to the palace? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and someone wants to mess up the etiquette and do bad things, Your Highness must be careful. After saying that, Xi Ning left.

Mention it here, even if you have done your best. If Mu Tianhong still doesn't understand, he deserves to be incompetent.

Xi Ning returned to his palace and rearranged the information of the Li family, but still found nothing.

"I want to call Shangshan Pavilion to investigate," Xi Ning sighed, "but after the Jianye Defense War, Shangshan Pavilion withdrew from the capital, and they couldn't be found for a while." ”

"You mean, the omnipotent organization you mentioned?" Xu Ziyu asked.

"Hmm." Xi Ning nodded.

"And what are you going to do if they offer a sky-high price?" Xu Ziyu said again.

Xi Ning shook his head: "I'm not thinking about this now, I'm thinking about who the pavilion master of Shangshan Pavilion is." ”

Xu Ziyu was shocked: "Don't you want to say that it's Mo Xuan, right?" ”

"That's not necessarily, I think the three major forces are in the end, Shangshan Pavilion must not be the prince's first, but it may be the fourth prince's. If it's not the Four Princes', it's Mo Xuan's. Otherwise, there is still a strong force on one side, and won't it further complicate the situation? Based on what I have observed over the years, the situation is not more complicated. But judging from the process of my dealings with Shangshan Pavilion, it is really difficult to be sure. "Xining has one head and two big.

Shangshankaku is not only an intelligence agency, but also an investment company.

Their main purpose is to grasp intelligence, and the other is to make money.

Mo Xuan needs intelligence and money to rebel, and Mu Tianzhuo also needs intelligence and money to plot the throne.

And the people in Shangshan Pavilion are not recognizable at all, and they can't figure out which side of them is powerful.

However, no matter which side it is, when it cooperated with Shangshan Pavilion at the beginning, now that I think about it, it is all seeking skin with the tiger.

Xi Ning involuntarily shuddered: "Send someone to keep an eye on Shangshan Pavilion to prevent abnormal movements." If the fourth prince didn't move, it would be Mo Xuan. If the four princes move, it will also move, it is the four princes. ”

In the evening, Gyeongi Palace Hot Springs.

Xi Ning stood in the pool, silently calculating.

If Mu Tianzhuo wants to rebel, then what role does Xia Yixue play in it?

used Xia Yixue to convict the prince, and then gave the emperor another layer of protection?

Or use Xia Yixue to make Fan Qiuling angry and let the Fan family stand by?

Then use Xia Yixue to drag the prince and take the opportunity to make the others succumb without a fight?

No matter how Xi Ning thinks about it, he thinks that it is most likely to kill multiple birds with one stone, and he will be in the middle of all.

In this way, protecting Xia Yixue is protecting the prince.

I have to find a way to put more effort into it.

As he pondered, a loud sound broke the tranquility of the hot spring pool.

Vigilantly, he leaned down and looked behind him - a man in a black nightcoat had tumbled in from the rooftop, and seemed to be injured.

The night-clothed man stretched out his trembling left hand to Xi Ning not far away, his vision seemed to have blurred, and he hung his head weakly and did not speak.

Xi Ning was annoyed. Her Jingyi Palace guard is so good, but someone broke in, and when she was bathing, she happened to break into the place where she bathed, should she praise this person for being very good even if she was injured, or should she criticize the Huayi Guard she formed for not being capable?

She narrowed her eyes very unhappily - she didn't bring a female official to the big job, and she didn't like to be served on weekdays, so she was empty here, and there was a guy who didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost, a man or a woman, what should she do?

Call everyone in?

Her subordinates are all men, okay!

In boredom, Xi Ning directly pulled out the golden hairpin on his head, took a voltage that was not high, and threw it on the night-walking man.

The Nightker was already weak, but now he was completely electrocuted.

Xi Ning got up from the water, and after the loud sound, her beautiful figure was tied into a bathrobe, and then put on a coat, before she walked to the night walker, her wet long hair was still dripping.

She crouched down and looked at it: it was clear that the man was injured.

The man seemed to have been stabbed in the waist by something like an arrow, and the wound was so deep that it was bleeding all over the ground.

The top priority is to save life, this wound is bleeding like this, it will really kill people.

However, before helping this person save his life, Xi Ning must first distinguish whether the enemy is me, otherwise he will regret saving the enemy by mistake.

Xi Ning reached out and tore off the black mask of this person, but he was taken aback!

How it is- (To be continued......
