It was rare for a faint warm sun to appear in the sky, Xie Qingning asked Yanyu to move a soft stool to the courtyard to bask in the sun, and by the way, he took a medical book to read.

"You said Shizi asked me to investigate with him?" Xie Qingning put down the medical book, looking a little surprised.

"Exactly, the prince said that he was new to the city after all, and many things were not clear, so he didn't want to offend the three major immortal families in Lanling City because of the investigation, so he ordered the slave to specially invite Miss Seven to participate in it, so that he could mention it at any time." An Ran was long and delicate, but his voice was very low and hoarse, with a nice magnetic sound, which made Yanyu look at it twice.

Xie Qingning couldn't help but slander in his heart, "Ye Hanxiao obviously wants to drag me into the water together, whoever comes up with the idea will be responsible to the end, I really have to do it too much." But on the surface, he didn't dare to show his dissatisfaction, and he had to pretend to be grateful, "I'm just a woman who is fostered in Xie's mansion, I'm afraid I don't have the qualifications to accompany the prince, if the prince really needs someone to mention, Qingning has a good candidate, my fifth cousin Xie Hualing was born smart and witty, and she is the eldest lady of the Xie family. ”

"This ......," An Ran was embarrassed, "The prince only ordered the slave to come and invite Miss Seven in person, if Miss Seven disagrees, the slave can only reply truthfully, as for whether the prince is willing to invite another Miss Five to accompany the investigation, the slave said that it really doesn't count." ”

Seeing him say this, Xie Qingning didn't want to continue to put on a score, after all, she couldn't offend the prince of Zhengyang, and she still needed to rely on this big tree for the time being.

So, she had to go back to the house to change her clothes, change into a light lotus-colored long skirt, put on a lake-blue velvet sweater, and put on a silver cloak casually, and then followed An Ran towards the outside of the mansion.

On the way, it was inevitable to meet the subordinates of the Xie Mansion who looked at her sideways, Xie Qingning knew that she had recently gotten too close to the prince of Zhengyang and the lord of Hejing County, which would inevitably attract the attention of everyone in the mansion, which was also the result she wanted, just so that those who were still thinking about calculating her behind her back would be honest and settle for a few days.

I heard that the city lord repeatedly invited their brothers and sisters to move to the mansion and were politely refused, so they could only order someone to protect the post house, so that the nobles would not be able to explain to the top when they were on a business trip.

When Xie Qingning was brought into the post house by An Ran, she happened to meet a group of disciples of the Han clan coming out of it, because she rarely appeared in public, so they all looked at her with puzzled eyes, and she was not interested in the people of the Han family, and she did not squint when she passed by, but she had a unique temperament of loneliness and arrogance, which caused the group of disciples to talk about it.

"Who is this girl? How have you never seen it? ”

"I don't know, looking at her outfit, it should be a young lady from which house, right? But why haven't we ever met? ”

"Since the prince also summoned her, could it be that she also knows about that experience?"

"How is that possible? I didn't have her when I was training. ”

"Could it be that she is a noble girl from Shangjing?"

"It's impossible, haven't you heard that there are other nobles besides the prince of Zhengyang and the lord of Hejing?"

"That's weird."

Listening to everyone's whispers, Xie Qingning couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't look back, and walked directly into the inner hall of the main hall.

When he walked through the alley, Xie Qingning heard the prince of Zhengyang ask in a warm voice, "You mean, the Lan clan and the Han clan deliberately concealed this matter?" Are they worried that after this son finds out, he will forcibly take away that strange treasure? ”

After a slight pause, Xie Qingning frowned.

The Lan and Han clans kept the matter of the training very closely, and they were indeed worried that the strange treasure would be forcibly taken away by the Ye clan after the royal family knew about it, so no matter how fierce they fought for, they would not inform the people of the Ye clan about it, and I heard that the two clans all took care of the disciples of the experience alone, so that the news would not be leaked. But who would expose this matter in front of the prince and point fingers at the Lan and Han clans' misdeeds?

Before Xie Qingning could guess, he heard a young man's slightly flying voice coming into his eardrums, "That's true, that day practice, our Xie family also has three disciples involved, but unfortunately they are not descendants, so the head of the family doesn't know, and we didn't expect things to get bigger and bigger." In addition, Xie Tan and Xie Feng, who participated in this matter with me, have died, so I naturally dare not say anything, and if it wasn't for the deliberate summoning of the prince, I wouldn't dare to say more. ”

Hearing this, Xie Qingning immediately understood that the person who spoke must be Xie Ting. The Xie clan was in a weak position in this matter, so he had not dared to speak out, but the Lan and Han clans regarded the Xie clan as fools, not only assassinated Xie Tan and Xie Feng, but also tried to completely eliminate the Xie clan.

Since the Xie clan can't even get the slightest benefit, it is better to make it public, so that the Lan and Han clans will also be empty, lest any clan that obtains a foreign treasure will invisibly strengthen the strength of the family, but it is understandable.

Xie Qingning was silent for a moment before letting An Ran go in to report, but he didn't expect that Ye Hanxiao didn't mean to avoid her, and immediately passed her into the hall.

Although the sun was shining in the courtyard, the light in the room was a little dark, and when Xie Qingning walked in slowly, he deliberately glanced at Xie Ting twice. This is a young man with a full heavenly court and handsome eyebrows, but it is a pity that a pair of dark eyes are turning around, full of evil spirits, and he is as unlikable as his master Xie Tian.

"Qing Ning has seen the son." Xie Qingning noticed that Xie Ting's gaze was full of vigilance, so he withdrew his gaze and bowed to Ye Hanxiao first, who was very polite to her and ordered someone to serve hot tea immediately.

After the idlers left, Ye Hanxiao continued to ask Xie Ting, "In your opinion, how many magic weapons should that strange treasure be?" ”

"This ......," Xie Ting took his ill-intentioned gaze away from Xie Qingning, and thought for a moment before replying, "It's really hard to judge in Xia, after all, Zai Xia is just an unpopular disciple, and what he knows and sees is very limited, I'm afraid that it will have to be seen by the prince himself, and he can only make a judgment." ”

Xie Qingning listened to him and retreated, and he didn't speculate, he had some changes in his heart first, but he was not afraid that the opponent was too stupid, he was afraid that the opponent was too smart, if he was really more scheming than Xie Tian, I am afraid that he would have to strike first.

"Shizi, the Lan clan is about to take out the strange treasure so tightly, naturally I am reluctant to take it out for you to identify, in my opinion, it is better to escort the disciples of the Lan clan and the Han clan involved in this matter back to Shangjing first, forgive them and dare not not recruit, and then ask the Lan clan to hand over the strange treasure, in order to preserve their strength, they protect those disciples, and dare not not hand it over." Xie Ting saw that the prince of Zhengyang was still hesitating, so he simply took the initiative to offer advice and advice, anyway, the Xie family couldn't get any benefit in this matter, so it was better to break up in two shots, so that both the Lan family and the Han family could suffer this dumb loss, this was the main purpose of his coming to denounce today.
