Chapter 26: Confrontation
Strictly speaking, Pu Yangying was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, Xiao Pingzhang just sent heavy troops to guard it to prevent Pu Yangying from escaping, with his temperament, he would not interfere in the affairs of the Criminal Department, Xiao Jingning could not know this, but he made it clear that he would arrange it.
And Xiao Pingzhang responded, and began to arrange it after leaving the palace.
The prison of the criminal department is outside the palace, and the queen belongs to the category of harem concubines, so she can't leave the palace easily. If His Majesty wants to see a key criminal, then he only needs to take someone directly to the prison of the Criminal Department, and the Queen of the Middle Palace wants to go to the prison of the Criminal Department to see a key criminal, but it is much more troublesome than His Majesty.
Fengjia travel, even if it is a micro-service trip, is not trivial, and it must not be taken lightly. The guards of the criminal department and the secret guards have to be carefully selected, and they have to clear the way. This clearing road is not for the guards to hold weapons to stop the people and passers-by on both sides of the road or to drive them away from the road that needs to be passed, but to sort out the unclear identities and ill-intentioned people inside, so as not to alarm the people and interfere with their normal life.
If it is arranged by others, Xiao Jingning will have to wait for at least three days, maybe there will be ten and a half days. But Xiao Pingzhang is extremely capable, and on the second day, Xiao Jingning received the news that he could travel at any time. She didn't even have a trace of stunned, and asked people to go and talk to Xiao Yuanshi, so she took Su Ying to the palace gate and got into the carriage that Xiao Pingzhang had prepared for her.
Xiao Jingning entered the prison where Puyang Ying was imprisoned alone, although he was chained with iron chains, and the range of activities was not wide, but in order to prevent accidents, Xiao Pingzhang and two lieutenants with strong martial arts Changlin Army guarded in the dark. Of course, there are still secret guards, and it seems that there is only Su Ying, a powerless lady in charge outside this small cell, but no one knows how many people there are.
At this time, although Pu Yangying was dressed in prison clothes and her hair was scattered, she looked very good, and she did not have the appearance of a yin owl on weekdays. He sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed, as if he didn't care about the things around him, and even the sound of the door opening didn't make him move his eyelids.
Xiao Jingning stood seven or eight steps away from him and stopped, and looked at him carefully for a while before he said calmly: "I heard that the master wants to see the palace." ”
"The mother is here." Pu Yangying opened his eyes, his face was unwavering, and he seemed to be very calm, it should be said that he knew that the queen would definitely come, but sooner or later, his voice was also calm, as if he didn't care, "Shu Chen is inconvenient at this time, and he can't salute to greet Niangniang." ”
"You're still so polite." Xiao Jingning didn't care about the nonsense Pu Yangying said, anyway, it was him who wanted to see her, and she was not in a hurry, "It seems that the master is quite accustomed to this, so the palace will be relieved." ”
"Niangniang is here to talk to the minister?" Pu Yangying's eyes seemed to have some kind of certainty, "The minister still thinks it's ......"
The corners of Pu Yangying's lips were hooked, but the words did not continue here. But Xiao Jingning raised his hand and admired the gorgeous and sharp armor cover on his fingers: "What do you think? ”
But without waiting for Pu Yangying to speak, he said casually: "The master is waiting for the palace to bring you some news that you want to know." ”
Pu Yangying's face finally changed, but it was not very big, just staring at Xiao Jingning's complexion, observing the expression of the queen he once thought he knew very well, trying to catch her emotions. However, he didn't see anything, Xiao Jingning really embodied the four words of carelessness from the inside out, and he could even see a hint of laziness in it, so he could only make a tone that seemed to express doubt: "Oh? ”
Xiao Jingning glanced at Pu Yangying with interest, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he said in the same tone as before: "I heard that when the master was hiding, he didn't forget to bring a snake, and the master's hobby is really different from others, keeping a snake as a pet." ”
Pu Yangying's eyelids jumped, Xiao Jingning turned a blind eye, and continued: "This palace thinks that snake is too ugly, and I heard that the second son of Changlin likes to fix these messy things the most, so he asked people to send them to him." I heard that Xiao Pingjing cut down the snake at that time, gouged out the snake gall and swallowed it, the courage is really not small, even the snake sent by the palace dares to kill, master, do you say he doesn't take the palace in his eyes? ”
Pu Yangying's eyes flashed gloomily, so fast that people couldn't catch it in the blink of an eye, in fact, Xiao Jingning didn't catch his expression, and didn't even want to listen to his answer, as if she was just describing a mood about whether the weather was good or bad, and then she sighed.
"Hey!" Xiao Jingning gently stroked the armor on his fingers: "On the days when the master was away, the palace maids in the palace were also hairy, and the master also knew that the palace was not very good-tempered, so he scolded them a few words, who knew that they actually held a grudge because of this and assassinated the emperor of the palace, I really don't know what to say!" ”
Pu Yangying saw a trace of anger flashing on Xiao Jingning's face, and she didn't know what to think of, but Xiao Jingning's next sentence made his eyes narrow: "Fortunately, there is Cuiping, the palace should have rewarded her heavily, but unfortunately she was too seriously injured, so she went at that time." ”
Xiao Jingning's words were plausible, and it sounded like Cuiping Niangzi was protecting the prince. And with Pu Yangying's understanding of Cuiping, this is indeed what Cuiping can do. So Cuiping hasn't started yet, and he has already died because of the escort? What a stupid woman, more than enough to achieve and more to lose!
These two pieces of news are not good news for Pu Yangying. He knows the news of Yun Niangzi's move, even if he waits for Xiao Pingjing's poisonous hair, there is no antidote Xiao Pingzhang will definitely come, calculate the time, today should be the time for poisonous hair, and Xiao Pingjing is very active on weekdays, so he can't say that he can attack earlier, but the queen told him that she dislikes the Xuan Yan snake is too ugly, so she took it and threw it to Xiao Pingjing?
Wrong! Pu Yangying's eyes narrowed slightly, what the queen said was very watery. Judging from the queen's actions in that decree, this is by no means a simple woman, maybe this snake thing is something she noticed and deliberate!
"You're not the queen." Pu Yangying looked straight at Xiao Jingning, "Who are you?" ”
"Oh?" Xiao Jingning's hand caressed the armor cover, and he didn't seem to be interested in even glancing at Pu Yangying, "Why did the master say this?" ”。
"The minister has been with Niangniang for ten years, and he thinks he knows a little bit about Niangniang." Pu Yangying's eyes never left Xiao Jingning's face for a moment, "Although Niangniang has always been jealous of Changlin Wangfu, and this jealousy is very obvious on weekdays, but these are all in the light, Niangniang at least has not made a secret hand, and it is impossible to make this kind of childlike trick, throw a snake to scare Xiao Pingjing and take advantage of this incident." What you did was like knowing that Xiao Pingjing had been poisoned, and knowing the solution to this poison, you deliberately sent the Xuanqi Snake over. In the past ten years, the minister has never heard that Niangniang is familiar with pharmacology, and it would be good if Niangniang did not fall into the well when she was in trouble in Changlin Palace, and it was impossible to lend a hand! So, who are you? ”
