Chapter 257: Concubine Ning Lifts the Siege
"It's just a promise, it's hard to break your promise!"
An unfamiliar voice sounded, and everyone raised their eyes to see that it was the elegant and demure Concubine Ning.
Emperor Ji Wu looked at it with empty eyes for a long time before muttering, "Concubine Ning? ”
"The concubines see the emperor, the queen mother, the queen mother~"
"Concubine Ning, why are you here? Are you okay? Emperor Ji Wu asked softly.
"Thank you for the emperor's concern, the concubines eat fasting and chant Buddha, everything is fine!" Concubine Ning responded calmly.
turned to glance at Jin Su, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile, "I can't see it, this basin is going to be buckled on my head, and I still keep my promise?" ”
"What do you mean?" The queen was a little anxious.
"That's right, I heard that Miss An of the Prime Minister's Mansion has quite high medical skills, so I took the liberty of inviting her to visit my palace." Concubine Ning explained calmly.
"It turned out that I went to your palace," Emperor Ji Wu said with a smile, and didn't seem to think much about it.
"Concubine Ning, who lives in a simple place, how can she know that Miss An is good at medical skills?" The queen questioned.
"Back to the queen's mother, it was the son who told the concubine," Jin Ruolin hurriedly responded.
Concubine Ning glanced at Jin Ruolin, smiled slightly, and then echoed, "I learned that she happened to be in the palace today, so I called her over." ”
"If you see a doctor, you can see a doctor, why are you still hiding it?" Jin Yan asked.
"Speaking of which, I blame me for this, because I was afraid that the matter would be too complicated, so I asked her to promise not to tell anyone about going to Yilan Palace, but I didn't expect this kid to be so trustworthy, and he would rather carry the black pot himself than be treacherous." Concubine Ning said.
"So, the clothes were also changed in your palace?" Jin Yan asked.
"It's nature!" Concubine Ning responded as a matter of course.
"Then you ----" Jin Yan seemed to want to ask something, but after the queen gave her a look, she was silent.
"Queen, what do you think about this?" Emperor Ji Wu asked.
"Huh~" The queen smiled generously, "Concubine Ning has personally come forward to restore Miss An's innocence, and the assassin matter naturally has nothing to do with Miss An." ”
After Emperor Ji Wu heard this, he showed a smile and raised his hand to signal her to get up.
Seeing that she was unharmed, the Queen Mother and others were naturally unwilling, so they found an excuse and left, and the other concubines and ladies also retired one after another. Even An Xiayu left quietly.
"Now that the matter has been clarified, the concubine should also return to the Yilan Palace," Concubine Ning said, and owed himself to Emperor Ji Wu and the empress.
"I remember that the osmanthus in Concubine Ning's palace is surprisingly delicious, and it happens to be fine today, so it's better to ......"
"The emperor forgives the sin, and since the concubines and concubines have taken refuge in Buddhism, there will be no osmanthus brewing in the Yilan Palace."
Emperor Ji Wu's interest that had just risen was immediately extinguished by Concubine Ning.
At this time, the queen happily stepped forward to invite, "Your Majesty, today has been tired for a day, and now there is an assassin in the palace, it is better to stay in the palace of the concubine to rest for the time being, although there is no osmanthus stuffed in the palace of the concubine, but the newly made glutinous rice dumplings in the small kitchen are very good, and you will definitely like it if you eat it." ”
After hearing this, Emperor Ji Wu impatiently shirked and said, "Forget it, next time, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." After just taking two steps, he looked back at Jinsu and asked, "What, aren't you ready to go home?" It's too late, and the palace gate will have to be keyed. ”
"Back to the emperor, the courtiers want to stay in Linglong Pavilion, is it okay?" Jin Su responded.
Emperor Ji Wu was stunned for a moment, and said casually, "Yes, I said, Linglong Pavilion belongs to you, you can live as long as you want, I immediately let Huaqing go over to take care of it." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Emperor Ji Wu left, the smile on the queen's face disappeared, and after glancing at them, she also entered the main hall by herself, and the annual Mulberry Silkworm Festival ended hastily.
After coming out of Changle Palace, the three of them stopped in unison.
"Concubine Ning~"
"Mother, Ruolin."
Jin Su was about to thank Concubine Ning, but His Royal Highness Nine hurried over and interrupted her.
"Yi'er, are you here?" Concubine Ning said softly.
"Well, I originally made an appointment with Ruolin to go back to the house together, but then I heard that there was an assassin here, so I didn't worry, so I came to take a look." Speaking of this, Feng Yi also glanced at Jin Ruolin gently.
Seeing this, Concubine Ning's face showed a little relief, "It's not too early, so you can go back early." ”
"Mother, my son-in-law will send you back to the palace first," Feng Yi proposed.
"No need." Concubine Ning refused.
"Your Royal Highness the Nineth, you and the princess should go back to the house first, I'll just send Concubine Ning Niangniang, and I will also live in the palace tonight," Jin Su suggested.
Feng Yi looked at Concubine Ning, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed, "Okay, then there will be Miss Lao An." ”
"Jinsu~" Jin Ruolin took Jinsu's hand, a little reluctant.
"Let's go back and rest first, I'll go to the house to see you in two days," Jin Su said.
Jin Ruolin nodded reluctantly, and after saluting Concubine Ning, she left with Feng Yi.
After walking a few steps with Concubine Ning, Jin Su called softly, "Concubine Ning~"
Concubine Ning stopped and raised her hand to interrupt her words, "Miss An is also tired for a day, so it is better to send it here." ”
After saying that, he didn't give her any chance to speak, and left on his own.
Looking at Concubine Ning's departing back, Jin Su's heart was full of gratitude. Tonight's incident, if she hadn't helped, she wouldn't have cleared her suspicions so easily. It's just that she muttered a little in her heart, Concubine Ning helped her, was it because of her master, or because of Jin Ruolin?
After that, Jin Su took Bai Zhi and walked through the Merlin at the gate of Changle Palace to get the clothes she had just changed.
After returning to Linglong Pavilion, Bai Zhi, who had always been calm, finally couldn't hold it anymore and asked, "Miss, what happened just now?" Also, what about the Assassins? ”
Jin Su replied casually, "Didn't you hear Concubine Ning's words?" ”
Bai Zhi stood at the door, listening intently outside, and after confirming that there was no movement, she returned to Jinsu's side and said softly, "If what Concubine Ning said is true, how can your clothes be in Merlin?" Besides, the faces of the Queen Mother, Jin Yan and the others were so ugly just now, wasn't it because the plan fell through? ”
"Heh~" Jin Su smiled faintly and recounted what happened just now.
After Bai Zhi heard this, her brows tightened.
"When they're all asleep, I'll go out and find out about the assassins, and you stay and answer me."
"No," Bai Zhi refused, "Miss, this is the palace, it can't compare to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can fly around casually." The guards are already tight, and the assassins are currently in trouble, so if we act rashly, it will be easy to get burned. ”
"Don't worry, I'll see you."
"No, I can't let you do such a risky thing, if you have to go, then I'll go with you."
"If both of you go, it's easier to be exposed."
"Miss, he was originally left by His Royal Highness Eighth to protect you, he is more familiar with the situation in the palace than we all do, and nothing will happen to him!"
"Having said that, I just wanted to find him, and the fact that he was able to help me get my clothes ready in advance shows that he already knew all this."
"Then I'll go alone, and Miss will stay and wait for news."
"Bai Zhi, stop arguing, listen to me."
