Ji Yanning went back to the house, took a hot bath, soaked his body in a wooden barrel full of water, and even plunged his head into the water.

I don't know how long it took, but she finally couldn't hold her breath this time, and this time she suddenly poked her head out, causing a splash of water on the ground, and the whole person leaned against the edge of the barrel panting, her hair drooping wet on both sides of her cheeks, and it stretched down into the water, stained with floating red petals.

She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself.

It was her misplanning that led to Hua Wanyan's death. Although she also knew that with Hua Duyan's temperament, if there was an accident in the middle, Hua Duanyan would definitely not let go of this opportunity to put the five princes to death and risk her life.

In all fairness, if she was in such a situation, she could kill Rong Ling and Su Ningxue, and she wouldn't mind dying with them.

Because that hatred has been deeply embedded in her blood and bones.

As long as she can push them to hell, she can pay any price.

It's just that the price she can accept is limited to herself, and she can't involve those she loves.

When she embarks on this road, it is impossible to turn back, she can only keep moving forward, so what she has to do is to better hide herself and plan a more comprehensive countermeasure.

"Miss, is the water cold?" Ziyu, who was standing behind the screen, asked, "Shall the slave go and add some hot water?"

Ji Yanning said: "No need. ”

She stood up from the barrel and walked out, putting on her dirty clothes, and Ziyu stepped forward to help her dry her hair.

When Ji Yanning was taking a bath, Ziyu had already warmed up the room with charcoal fire, even if Ji Yanning was wearing thin clothes, he didn't feel a trace of coldness.

Ziyu said while helping her dry her hair: "Miss, next month is your birthday, my uncle and Mrs. talked to Miss a few days ago about the ceremony, and just sent someone to ask Miss about the list of guests and the guests. ”

An Shi saw that she had always had an idea, and this kind of thing must be to ask her meaning first.

Ji Yanning waved her hand, indicating that the hair had almost dried, she slowly walked to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote down the list of banquet guests.

Although she has been in Chang'an for a while, she has not made many friends.

Except for the people of the Yuan family and the Guo family, she doesn't have any other guests she wants to invite, not to mention that "her" parents have died less than a year ago, so it is naturally not suitable to make a big deal, anyway, she also held a grand ceremony in her previous life, she has nothing to look forward to in this regard, just keep it simple.

In addition to the people from the Yuan Mansion and the Guo Mansion, Ji Yanning also added several stewards from Xiao Shaobei and Baochang Ji, and Zhengbin invited the county lord of Ren'an.

After Ji Yanning finished writing, he put the pen aside and said to Ziyu: "It's late at night now, and you will hand over this list to your aunt tomorrow." ”

Ziyu bowed her head and responded: "The slave knows." ”

Speaking of the ceremony, a few days will be the day when Yuan Jiaojiao will make up the ceremony in the palace, last time she was seriously injured and could only postpone it, but tonight the fifth prince was assassinated and died, I am afraid that there will be a lot of inconvenience in the palace.

Whether Yuan Jiaojiao's ceremony can be successfully completed this time depends on the emperor's characterization of the assassination.

Ji Yanning knew that with Rong Liang's temperament, he definitely didn't want to publicize this matter as a royal scandal, if no one witnessed it at the time, he could be said to be an ordinary assassination, but what Hua Duyan said when he died with the five princes was known by many people in Chang'an.

She could imagine that this matter would spread throughout Chang'an City, and even Great Wei.

Rong Liang wants to force this matter, which will only attract public anger.

If this matter is judged to be deserved by the five princes, then Yuan Jiaojiao's and the ceremony can naturally be held as scheduled.

Ji Yanning was lying on the bed, but he didn't feel the slightest sleepiness.

She didn't know why she had been reborn at this point, but she knew exactly what she was going to do, but there was still so much to prepare.

There are many people who can't sleep tonight, and Rong Che is also one.

The question that Ji Yanning asked him was still echoing in his mind.

Why help her?

From the first time he saw her, he knew that Ji Yanning was not a good type, he used a good hand to be poisonous, he was decisive and quick, and he was arrogant by nature. Such a person is different from the women he has come into contact with in the past, it has nothing to do with Fengyue, he just feels that he appreciates such a person very much.

But I don't know when it started, and it all seems to have changed.

When she was in Hengcheng, she risked her life, and even knew that Jin Wuwei was chasing and killing him, but she was still unwilling to give up on him.

Later, I learned that she had a marriage contract, and I felt a sense of loss in my heart.

Later, when they met in Chang'an, he couldn't help but want to know about her.

In fact, as an idle prince, he can care about nothing, even if she wants to assassinate the emperor, what does it have to do with him?

Could it be ...... Did he really take a fancy to Ji Yanning?

As soon as he thought of this, Rong Che, who was still lying on the bed, immediately straightened up half of his body.

In the dead of night, the entire Xuan Wangfu was so quiet that he could hear the needle dropping, and he clearly heard the heartbeat in his chest, and suddenly felt a little stuffy.

He lifted the quilt, his hair was scattered behind him, stepped out of bed barefoot, walked along the table, poured himself tea, and drank three cups in a row.

The tea in the evening was already cold, and it went down his throat, Rong Che felt more comfortable again, but the sleepiness also dissipated, and Ji Yanning's face always appeared in his mind, her every move, her smile and smile, I don't know what has been imprinted in my mind.

He was distraught and subconsciously put the teacup in his hand on the table, but he didn't expect it to be empty, and the cup fell to the ground.

The sound of "pop-" sounded in the silent night, which was particularly harsh.

Even he couldn't help but be startled, and finally came back to his senses.

"Lord Wang. The eagle pushed the door in, looking solemn, "But what happened?"

Rong Che, who was standing at the table, straightened his expression and said, "It's okay, it's just that I accidentally knocked over the cup, you go out." Let people clean up tomorrow. ”

The prince's night vision is very powerful, even in the dark he can walk like a day, how can he knock over a cup?

But since the master had spoken, the flying eagle did not doubt him and respectfully withdrew.

Rong Che paced back and forth twice, but gradually settled down, and there was nothing to like her, so it was a big deal to marry her as a princess.

But he said last time that Ji Yanning's status was too low to be his princess...... Rong Che frowned, he seemed to have pitted himself.

Forget it, there are so many women in Da Wei, why only think about her.

Thinking like this, he didn't hesitate any longer, turned around and walked to the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and forcibly closed his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, but his consciousness gradually sank, and he felt a little trance.

As if sensing someone coming towards his bed, Rong Che suddenly became alert, and when the footsteps came to his window, he quickly struck the person with his palm.

The person on the other side was frightened, looked at him with wide pupils, and called in a coquettish voice: "Lord Wang!"

Rong Che's heart moved, and when he saw that the person who came was Ji Yanning, he instantly withdrew his hand, but she was still scared and fell to the ground.

"Ah!" Ji Yanning gasped, touched his ankle, and said pitifully, "My foot is sprained and hurts." ”

The delicate voice made Rong Che feel distressed, he leaned down and was about to check her injuries, but he didn't expect Ji Yanning to fall into his arms, a pair of jade hands climbed up his neck, and his flowing and agile eyes looked at him directly.

A fire ignited in Rong Che's chest, picked up the person in his arms, put her on the bed, and immediately threw himself at her......

"Lord Wang, it's time to get up. ”

The butler's voice sounded in his ears, Rong Che suddenly opened his eyes, immediately straightened up, and turned his head to stare at the butler.

The housekeeper was frightened by the prince's movement and took a half step back and asked, "What's wrong with the prince?"

Rong Che rubbed his head vigorously, and shook it again, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a dream.

But how could he have such a dream, or ...... with her?

Forget it!

He was just about to lift the quilt, when suddenly his hand flickered, he felt his abnormality, and the roots of his ears gradually turned red.

Yesterday, the assassination of the five princes in the Li'an Sect really spread throughout Chang'an all at once.

Along with this incident, there was also the appearance of the Oiran dancing in the city during the election, and everyone regretted it, but they didn't expect such a beauty to be burdened with the hatred of the whole family, how fierce it was.

The reputation of the five princes was not good, but when this was done, the people believed in the rhetoric of exhaustion.

Even if the emperor wants to whitewash the peace, it seems that he can't do it, and in the next few days, the officials of the Imperial History Observatory have admonished one after another, anyway, the five princes are dead, and it doesn't hurt to refer to a few more books.

But the emperor was even more angry.

directly demoted the dead five princes to civilians and was not allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, Su Guifei, as the biological mother of the five princes, was also admonished by many imperial histories, and even the second prince was also slightly affected.

Ji Yanning was checking the annual account book sent by Baochang Ji in the study, Ziyu stepped forward to report that An was coming, and Ji Yanning invited her into the study.

An's came for Ji Yanning's courtesy.

She held the list of banquets given to her by Ji Yanning in her hand, and said: "Yan Ning, this and etiquette are quite important to women, it is too cold to invite only these people, it is better for your aunt to help you hand over some posts, or there are still more people." ”

The list drawn up by Ji Yanning is only a few people, which is too streamlined, and it is not that they can't hold a big banquet in Liufu.

Ji Yanning politely refused: "Uncle doesn't have to bother, Yan Ning didn't think about making a big deal, it's just a situation." What's more, my father and mother have only been gone for a long time, so it is not appropriate to make a big deal. ”

She said so, An's naturally it was not good to persuade anything, this is filial piety, it should be like this, she was confused, and she was bent on making her better, but she forgot about this stubble.

There weren't many people coming, so she naturally didn't have to bother too much.
