Chapter 256: Distress Inside and Out
"Cold feelings, keep an eye on the Bai family in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and the imperial concubine in the palace." Shangguan Qingyun also saw that something was wrong from Ning Zhixuan's solemn expression, and then said, "Send someone to protect Su Xin secretly, remember that the person sent must have nothing to do with our palace." ”
"Does the prince suspect that someone is going to hack the second miss and Su Xin?" In his cold heart, he already admired those mafias who had been defeated and fought repeatedly, and the return operation was defeated in the hands of Ning Zhixuan, but he still took the trouble to hide in the shadows and play the black hand.
Because Su Xin was still on duty, he had to send Ning Zhixuan to the gate of the palace, and then he turned back to the imperial hospital to go on an errand, and finally survived until the twilight of the fourth hour, but Su Xin felt more and more uneasy in his heart.
Su Xin changed out of the clothes of the medical girl in the room, and then changed into regular clothes and went out of the imperial hospital, all the way along the palace road to the Chongyan Gate, after leaving the palace gate, he stepped into danger, Su Xin seemed to expect something to happen, and since leaving the Chongyan Gate, he fastened the silver needle in his sleeve.
Returning from Ziyun City to Zuo Xiangfu must pass through a narrow alley, although there are not many people in the narrow alley on weekdays, but it will not be impossible to touch a person, and now half of the figure is invisible, which really makes Su Xin realize that the danger is in front of him.
Su Xin quickened his pace, but just as he was about to walk out of the narrow alley, a fierce murderous aura suddenly appeared in his back, and Su Xin had to lean forward, just when he saw that the whole person was about to fall to the ground, he spun on tiptoe, and then the whole person followed the back of the killer, followed by the silver needle in his hand, and shot into the back of the black-clothed killer accurately.
It was already known that there would be a sneak attack by the killer, so the silver needle was quenched with the flower liquid of the mandala, and a single star could cause a coma.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of killers poured into the narrow alley, and they all held steel knives towards Su Xin, who could only retreat again and again, until he saw that the entrance of the alley was also blocked by the black-clothed killer holding steel knives.
"Do it!" Su Xin shouted and then dodged into the pre-set mechanism, followed by ten thousand arrows fired at the black-clothed killer in the narrow alley.
"Lord Wang, I didn't expect that the second miss and Su Xin were already ready to deal with the enemy." Leng Qing paused and continued, "It's just that I didn't expect the Bai family and the eldest lady to move so quickly, Su Xin can't be spared outside the palace, I'm afraid the situation of the second lady in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion will be even more dangerous." ”
"Since she guessed that the other party was going to do something, she must have a way to deal with it." Shangguan Qingqiao looked at the killer who fell to the ground with an arrow in the narrow alley, and remembered that Su Xin never kills.
"Lord Wang, you said that there was such a big commotion here, but it didn't alarm the officers and soldiers patrolling the street for half a minute, it seems that the Bai family and the eldest lady are determined to get rid of the people around the second lady this time."
"She probably hated those people so much, so she ordered such a ruthless hand."
Leng Qing noticed that the people who were shot by the bow and arrow were all hideous and dead, and knew that Su Xin would be afraid if he saw it.
"Lord Wang, such a bloody case will definitely alarm the Jingzhao Yamen to investigate, and I heard that Yuanfu Yin has always been a diligent and good official." Leng Qing selfishly proposed, "It's better for the prince to be a favor and clean up the scene for the second lady, so as not to leave any handles." ”
Shangguan Qingyu bowed slightly: "You can watch it." ”
It is said that Shangguan Qingyi's people who sent to protect Su Xin were all well-trained shadow guards, and after they revealed their identities to Ning Zhixuan's shadow guards at the scene, they quickly disposed of the body of the black-clothed killer, and when Su Xin came out, he only saw the leader of the shadow guards standing at the entrance of the narrow alley.
"Suxin girl, all the killers in black have been killed, and the bodies have been dragged to the mass grave for burial."
"You've worked hard." Su Xin said and walked out of the alley, looked around and said, "It is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, you stay in the dark and wait, I will go back to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion first." ”
"Yes, Miss Suxin." The leader of the shadow guard immediately disappeared in front of Su Xin after answering.
Su Xin glanced around again, and faintly felt that there seemed to be a familiar aura around him, and then he felt that he was probably too worried, and then he had already accelerated his pace and walked towards the Zuo Xiangfu.
Fang Cai Suxin looked around, and her subordinates thought that she had discovered something. Leng Qing then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that she didn't see anything." ”
I don't know when Su Xin's every move began to affect Leng Qing's heart, and there was no trace that even Leng Qing himself was not aware of.
"Lord Wang, are we still following Su Xin?" Leng Qing didn't get a response from Shangguan Qingyu for a long time, and when he turned his head, he found that Shangguan Qingqiao was long gone.
It is said that when Su Xin hurried back to Zuo Xiang's Mansion with light work, she saw that the maid and the maid in the house were messing around, she was shocked, lifted her skirt and ran in the direction of Yunxi Pavilion.
When Su Xin came to the gate of Yunxi Pavilion, a little maid greeted her and said, "Miss Su Xin is back." ”
Su Xin couldn't wait to ask, "What's wrong?" ”
"Miss Five's room almost caught fire, but fortunately she found it in time......"
Before the little maid finished speaking, Su Xin had already rushed into the courtyard with her skirt, and only after seeing Ning Zhixuan standing in the courtyard did she let go of the breath she had been carrying in her heart.
"It's the plain girl who is back." The sharp-eyed little maid saw Su Xin standing by the arch at a glance.
"Miss, are you alright?" Su Xin walked up to Ning Zhixuan and asked, "Is Miss Fifth okay?" ”
Ning Zhixuan replied: "Fortunately, the little maid who was guarding in the dark discovered the fire in time, and sent someone to carry a bucket to extinguish the fire, as if she was only frightened, and now settled in my room." ”
Since the Yunxi Pavilion caught fire that day, Ning Zhixuan dug a pond in the backyard to store water, and it was precisely because the little servants were cheap to fetch water that they were able to extinguish the fire in time.
Ning Zhiwen glanced at Su Xin, and saw that her hairpin ring was slightly scattered, with hidden worries in her eyes, so she knew that something must have happened to her, so she said, "It's windy outside, let's go into the house." ”
Su Xin followed Ning Zhixuan and saw Ning Wanran sitting on top of the soft collapse with her knees crossed, no wonder she was afraid, the concubine who had no quarrel with the world in the past would not be noticeable if she was not favored, but now she suddenly became a thorn in the side of some people, and she assassinated three or four times, how could she not be afraid.
"Did you run into a killer on the way?" Ning Zhiyun had already asked someone to hold her hand outside the door, and now there were only three of them in the room.
"I did encounter an ambush by a killer on the way back to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion from the palace, but fortunately we were prepared." Su Xin glanced at Ning Zhiyun and said, "Fortunately, Miss expected them to make a move, so she took advantage of the middle of the night to set up a mechanism in that alley in advance. ”
"Is the site all cleaned up?" Ning Zhixuan also thought that if the official messenger saw the corpses all over the ground, he was afraid that he would alarm the Yuan Mansion Yin of Jingzhao Mansion.
Su Xin replied: "Miss, don't worry, everything has been dealt with." ”
"But someone took the opportunity to set fire to the fifth lady's room?" Su Xin was really puzzled, Ning Wanran's room was guarded like ironclad, how those people got into it and set it on fire.
"It was someone on the street who set off fireworks, and accidentally the flames escaped into the house, but fortunately, the people who were guarding outside found it in time, and there was enough water in the backyard, so it didn't cause a big disaster."
Because Yunxi Pavilion is in the most secluded place of Zuo Xiang's Mansion, there is a backstreet just outside the wall, so it makes sense that sparks have sparked into Ning Wanran's room.
Ning Zhiyun said with a sneer on the corner of her lips: "They want to harm Wanran, but they really took a lot of effort. ”
Su Xin also frowned with some worry and said: "It's sending people to set fire to the mansion again, and it's intercepting and killing halfway, it seems that the Bai family and the eldest lady are determined to deal with you this time." ”
"The Bai family is not a stupid person, she probably saw that the person behind Wanran was me, and she was afraid that Ning Yucheng would stand out for Wanran if she had a future in the future, so she had to rush to get rid of Wanran." Ning Zhixuan paused and said, "I'm afraid that they took advantage of Su Rui, and now they want to turn the finger on the other people around me." ”
Thinking that it was the Bai family who knew that Ning Zhiwen was not so easy to deal with, so they thought about attacking the people around her, just like the last time they successfully murdered Su Rui, they successfully hit Ning Zhixuan.
"I'm afraid that in addition to the Bai family and the eldest lady wanting to deal with Miss and Miss Five, there is also a lack of old lady secretly fueling the troubles." Su Xin then analyzed, "The Bai family has always been attached to the old lady, and now that she knows that the old lady has the idea of removing the fifth lady, she just pushes the boat down the river, this time with the acquiescence of the old lady, even if someone makes trouble, the old lady will intercede for the Bai family." ”
"She's got a good idea." A cold glint appeared in Ning Zhixuan's eyes, "This time, I want her to steal chickens and rice, but she is smart and mistaken!" ”
"Second sister, Ran'er is willing to agree to the kindness of the second sister." Ning Wanran, who had been curled up on the couch and didn't speak, suddenly spoke, "Please also ask the second sister to bother planning for me." ”
Ning Zhiyun knew that Ning Wanran had always been thin-skinned, and what she said so should mean that she was willing to marry Qin and Jin with Yuan Qingxuan, although she was a little helpless because she was forced, but she was more glad that she had finally figured it out and was willing to let go of the relationship that could not see the future and hope.
Su Xin's heart is naturally happy that Ning Wanran is finally willing to let go of the obsession in his heart, the reason why it is said to be an obsession is just because Ning Wanran is a goddess in Shangguan Fengming is a goddess has a dream, and King Xiang has no intention, but if he agrees to marry Yuan Qingxuan, he can not only get rid of the current predicament, but in the future, in the future, in getting along day by day, Ning Wanran will naturally see all the benefits of Yuan Qingxuan.
Ning Zhiyun once again reminded Ning Wanran and said, "Wanran, if you step out, you can't turn back." ”
