Chapter Sixty-Eight: To Dagou Town
The next day, Chu Yunning got the news that Jing Niang was acquitted due to insufficient evidence, but the gold medal for avoiding death was confiscated and demoted to a commoner.
"Miss, this is too much!" Bixiu's eyes were red.
After getting the result, Chu Yunning was not surprised at all, as if he had already guessed that Jing Niang still had so many industries in her hands, and with a little operation, she would definitely be able to save her life.
It's just that I didn't expect Emperor Mingwen to let Jing Niang go so easily.
Jing Niang has been arrogant in the capital for more than ten years, wantonly collecting money, bullying the people, and countless people have sued Yi Honglou, she is a bully-like existence.
This time I finally had the opportunity to eradicate Yihong Mansion, even if there was no evidence, Emperor Mingwen should also make evidence and use his strength to make Jing Niang have no place to turn over.
It's a pity to spare her so easily.
"Master, someone outside sent a brocade box."
Tianyi took the brocade box.
"Mother, what is such a big box?"
Beibei walked over from outside the door, stared at the box curiously, and sniffed vigorously: "It's the smell of blood." ”
Remember https://m in a second.
Tianyi's face changed slightly, and he didn't even smell it.
"Let's take it down and deal with it." Chu Yunning probably guessed that this was Jing Niang's provocation.
Chu Yunning held Beibei by the hand: "If you see the same face as your mother one day, don't be deceived." ”
Beibei frowned and hummed: "I can't still recognize the smell on my mother's body, my mother underestimates me too much." ”
"Yes, Beibei is the smartest, so let's have an agreement, okay?"
Chu Yunning privately had an agreement with Beibei, just in case.
Thinking about Jing Niang, Chu Yunning held her breath in her heart, so she went to ask King Xiao for clarification.
She wants to know if Emperor Mingwen has something unspeakable!
went to King Xiao's mansion, and the housekeeper was very surprised: "Why did the princess come back?" ”
"Where is the prince?" Chu Yunning asked.
The housekeeper snorted coldly: "The princess has left the palace, what are you going to do when you come back, the princess is already accompanied by a gentle and considerate Aunt Sheng, so it's better not to disturb the princess." ”
Chu Yunning twisted her eyebrows, how many women around King Xiao have anything to do with her?
Too lazy to talk nonsense with the housekeeper anymore, Chu Yunning simply bypassed, but the housekeeper didn't give up: "Don't bother, princess, the prince won't agree to your return, if you know each other, leave quickly, don't ask for yourself!" ”
The housekeeper looked disdainful, and was sure that Chu Yunning just couldn't live outside anymore, so he came to the door to beg for mercy.
It's so thick-skinned!
"Let me ask again, where is the prince?"
Chu Yunning gradually ran out of patience.
"Yo, you dare to speak out and be ashamed to play your temper, Xiao Wangfu is not a cat or a dog can come, since you have already left, Xiao Wangfu does not welcome you!"
The butler's chin was raised, and his attitude was very arrogant.
Chu Yunning rolled her eyes, how could Ye Yan'er be the master of the house and raise such a slave who looked down on people!
Chu Yunning said coldly: "I advise you to go to the prince, so as not to delay the business, and it is you who are unlucky to be investigated!" ”
The housekeeper was stunned, and then laughed loudly: "It's up to you?" ”
When he had laughed enough, the housekeeper said again: "Don't pee and look in the mirror, an abandoned woman still dares to speak up, the prince is not what you want to see, I have been trusted by the prince in the palace for more than 20 years, what do you compare with me?" ”
The housekeeper's words became more and more unpleasant, Chu Yunning looked impatient, turned his head and left.
"Princess, please stay!" Rufeng happened to pass by, and when he saw Chu Yunning coming, he was excited: "Princess, my subordinates are going to invite the prince." ”
Chu Yunning glanced back at the wind, then squinted at the housekeeper, and said coldly: "No need, how dare an abandoned woman of mine disturb the prince." ”
Rufeng Wenyan looked at the housekeeper with a solemn expression, and the housekeeper's face changed slightly: "Rufeng guard, I'...... I'm just worried that it will affect the prince's business, after all, the princess has already left the palace. ”
"Bastard!" Rufeng scolded: "The princess is the mistress of the palace, and you still have to look at your face when you go back to your home?" When I tell the prince, I must punish you severely! ”
Rufeng is King Xiao's personal guard, the affairs in the house are in charge of the housekeeper, and the affairs outside the palace and all important things, such as the wind can make decisions on behalf of the prince.
Therefore, the status of the wind is higher than that of the steward.
The housekeeper was so frightened that fine sweat oozed from his forehead: "I ......"
Rufeng pushed away the housekeeper, saluted respectfully at Chu Yunning, and pointed in the direction: "Princess, if the prince knows that you are back, he must be very happy, please come here." ”
Chu Yunning nodded, and before leaving, he said to the housekeeper unhappily: "After so many years of doing evil in King Xiao's Mansion, I am used to bullying others, and I don't even distinguish between priority and priority!" ”
"Princess?" The butler opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Chu Yunning didn't listen to the explanation, raised his feet and left quickly, and explained behind him: "Princess, you are angry, and your subordinates will tell the prince truthfully and punish the disobedient minions." ”
"Hmm!"
After turning the corridor and passing by the familiar Danqiong Garden, I suddenly heard a melodious flute sound from inside.
Chu Yunning stopped curiously and raised his eyebrows: "Who lives here?" ”
Rufeng shook his head: "This place has been empty since the princess left. ”
Empty and flutes?
Chu Yunning pushed open the gate of Danqiong Garden, and at a glance saw two people standing under the grape trellis.
The man was wearing a black brocade robe, and the neckline was embroidered with gold threads with auspicious clouds, his posture was tall, handsome and chic, who was this person not King Xiao?
Chu Yunning moved his gaze down and saw Sheng Sheng.
I can't take my eyes off it.
Sheng Sheng's appearance is very similar to her, wearing a light green narrow waist dress, with a slender waist, black hair pulled up casually, and she is playing the flute.
The flute has a melodious and melodious sound, very similar to the tunes she has played before.
The two of them stood together and were surprisingly compatible.
"Lord Wang!" shouted like the wind, why was it so unfortunate that he was bumped into by the princess.
King Xiao raised his eyes, stunned the moment he saw Chu Yunning, as if asking why did you come?
"Lord Wang, who is this?" Sheng Sheng was also very surprised, but he guessed the identity of the other party in his heart.
Sheng Sheng subconsciously touched his face, there are two people in this world who are so similar.
"This is the princess!" Solemnly reminded by the wind.
Sheng Sheng bent his knees: "Sheng Sheng visited the princess, I didn't know that the princess arrived, don't blame." ”
Chu Yunning looked at Sheng Sheng, trying to detect something, and after careful observation, this face was not disguised but genuine leather.
In addition to the twins, it was the first time she had seen two people so similar.
"No need to be polite." Chu Yunning raised his hand weakly.
Sheng Sheng stood up without twisting: "Princess Xie!" ”
After speaking, Sheng Sheng glanced at King Xiao and said obediently: "The princess is very happy to come back, presumably there are a lot of things to say to the prince, and the concubine will not bother." ”
Without waiting for King Xiao to nod, Sheng Sheng bowed down and took his leave.
After the people left, King Xiao squinted his eyes like the wind, and retreated like a wind.
There were suddenly two people left in the courtyard, and King Xiao covered his mouth and coughed twice, breaking the silence: "Why are you here, the one just now is actually ......"
"Lord Wang, I came to ask about Jing Niang."
Chu Yunning's expression was calm, and he didn't have any mood swings because of Sheng Sheng's appearance, not to mention jealousy, not even a trace of anger.
King Xiao was discouraged, and asked unwillingly: "This king loves her, aren't you angry at all?" ”
Chu Yunning was puzzled: "Why should I be angry when the prince pampers other women, there are few concubines in the palace, and it is normal for the prince to accept a few more." ”
"You!" King Xiao was choked suddenly, as if he had eaten a fly, and he was uncomfortable.
Chu Yunning didn't care, King Xiao could marry whoever he wanted, as for Sheng Sheng, she was not jealous, but she made her respond with that face.
When she was done, she had to go back and ask Mrs. Chu if her father still had a concubine outside, maybe it was her half-sister.
"By the way, I'm here to ask about Jing Niang."
Thinking of the matter, Chu Yunning asked: "Why did the emperor let Jing Niang go so easily, the crime of rebellion is a big crime involving the nine clans." ”
King Xiao suppressed his anger and forced himself to calm down and said: "This king asked the imperial brother about this matter, and the imperial brother said that Jing Niang was the woman his father wanted him to protect before he died. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Before his death, my father asked my brother to swear that he would not kill Jing Niang for any reason during his reign, otherwise he would have no heirs in his life, and there would be no successor!"
Chu Yunning gasped: "How could the emperor be so ruthless and curse his country for a woman?" ”
King Xiao also looked helpless.
"So, as long as the emperor is on the throne, even if it is a major crime of the nine clans, there is no way to take her?"
This is more stable than the gold medal for avoiding death, Emperor Mingwen has only been on the throne for more than ten years, he is in the prime of life, and there is nothing wrong with his body, and it is no problem to live for a few more decades.
Could it be that Jing Niang can do whatever she wants with this?
"The first emperor didn't allow the emperor to kill her, and he couldn't control her from being assassinated, right?" Chu Yunning clenched her fists, she would never allow those who hurt Beibei to go unpunished.
"My father left Jing Niang a group of secret guards, no one knows the number, no one knows where they are hiding, they come and go without a trace, once Jing Niang is assassinated, these secret guards will hunt you down for the rest of their lives, and they will never die!"
King Xiao said lightly, he didn't understand why his father was so protective of Jing Niang.
Chu Yunning's breathing tightened, and his eyelids jumped.
"Then there's no way to take Jing Niang?"
King Xiao sighed: "Don't act rashly for the time being, it's not too late to do it when you find out these secret guards." ”
Jing Niang didn't die for a day, and Chu Yunning's heart couldn't let go.
She and Jing Niang are mortal enemies, and Jing Niang will definitely take revenge when she gasps.
"This king knows what you're worried about, move back in, at least in King Xiao's Mansion, the royal guards don't dare to mess around."
The royal guards have rules, and they will never easily kill each other, and if this situation is discovered, the emperor will intervene.
When the time comes, the two families will be punished, and the light will be fine, and the worst will be degraded and exiled.
Chu Yunning shook his head: "I can't hide in the palace for a lifetime, I have my own measure." ”
"Why are you so stubborn, do you really want to stay outside for the rest of your life?"
King Xiao suppressed his anger, he was very puzzled, could it be that the palace was so unsightly?
Chu Yunning turned around indifferently: "I'm used to being alone, I don't want to be restrained, thank you for your kindness, farewell!" ”
After a while, King Xiao shouted like the wind, and said angrily: "When did the princess come, why didn't anyone report it?" ”
Rufeng explained with a look of grievance: "The subordinates went out to run errands and happened to meet the princess, the housekeeper said a few ugly words to stimulate the princess, the princess turned around angrily and left, and the subordinates had to chase after her...... saw this scene, his subordinates should die, beg the prince to punish! ”
King Xiao said angrily: "The housekeeper will be punished with fifty sticks, and you will also go down and receive the punishment!" ”
"Yes!"
