Before Ling Tiancheng could figure out what her words meant, Zhuang Siyan had already gone out.

She ran all night, inside and outside the city, from south to north, she was really tired, and when she came back, someone was waiting and taking care of her, and she needed to take a good rest.

Ping'er and Lan Xin are like little daughters-in-law waiting for their husbands to return home, when they see Zhuang Siyan coming back, they are so attentive, not to mention how old they are.

Zhuang Siyan watched the two of them busy, and the depression in Ling Tiancheng's place just now dissipated, and said with a smile: "I'm not in the palace, did I suffocate the two of you?" ”

Ping'er pouted and shook her head: "Back to Niangniang's words, no, the whole palace is about to suffocate to death." ”

"Hahaha, huh? So serious? Zhuang Siyan asked with a smile.

Ping'er nodded like pounding garlic: "The ladies of the other palace take their palace people around every day, we are good, we can't even find the master anywhere, and there is no reason to go out, so we can only be in this palace every day, and it is rare to see a small bird flying at the door." ”

Zhuang Siyan picked Ping'er's chin with one finger and asked with a smile: "Do you mean that you don't want to wait for a good wait, you want to wait for those masters who can move around?" ”

As soon as Ping'er heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground: "Niangniang, the slave and maid know that they are wrong, the slave and the maid don't mean that, please don't give the slave to others." ”

Zhuang Siyan looked at her with a smile, and said after a while: "Okay, I'm joking with you, I'm reluctant to give you to others, it's rare that you don't have to worry and save trouble, and you won't go out to make trouble for me." ”

Ping'er put her heart down, and while wiping her hands and face, she whispered: "Niangniang looks very tired every time she comes back, and the slave is also very distressed when she sees it." ”

Zhuang Siyan had already closed her eyes, and when she heard her say this, she replied: "The mouth is quite sweet." ”

When she was in a good mood and her nerves relaxed, she fell asleep.

By the time Ping'er and Lan Xin took care of her, Zhuang Siyan had already slept until she was snoring, and she was asleep crookedly on the soft couch.

The two palace maids were afraid of arguing with her, so they didn't dare to move anymore, so they only took the brocade quilt over, carefully covered her, and went out to explain to the palace people below, and no one could come close to disturb them, so they went to do something else.

Lan Xin walked out of the door of the dormitory, and then whispered to Ping'er: "Every time I come back, I am so tired that I fall asleep, and it is not easy to come to my mother's life outside." ”

Ping'er turned around and glanced inside, pulled Lan Xin and walked a few steps forward before saying, "It's not good to think about it, I heard that Niangniang's life often hangs by a thread."

What do you think about this emperor, saying that he is good to our mother, but he sent her to do such a thing, isn't this asking for human life?

If you want to say no, it looks like it's better than the other ladies in the palace. ”

Lan Xin nodded, and only replied after a while: "Maybe this is what the mother herself wants?" ”

Ping'er shook her head: "I don't believe it, which woman doesn't want to live a stable life, our mother Bingxue is smart, why do you want to stop this kind of thing?" ”

Lan Xin couldn't tell her clearly, but she knew that Zhuang Siyan was no longer the same as the Zhuang Siyan before.

It's not just that she feels different, but all the people who knew Zhuang Siyan in the past feel that she is different from the past.

Of course, most people can't find a reason for her change, so it all comes down to family changes.

For example, Jia Mingyuan, he felt that Zhuang Siyan's current appearance was all because Zhuang Changyuan sent her to the palace at the beginning, and later the family changed, the Zhuang family fell, and she had nothing, so she was so strong all of a sudden.

Of course, there are also unclear explanations, such as Zhuang Siyan Huiwu.

In the past, Miss Zhuang Si in the Zhuang Mansion was a weak woman, although she was scheming, but she was weak and weak, not to mention doing it with others, even if the wind was strong and the rain was heavy, she would not be able to stand it and get sick.

"Hey, Brother Jia, Brother Jia, what are you thinking, so engrossed?" Xu Ning waved his hand in front of Jia Mingyuan's face, and when he saw him turn his head to look at him, he asked again, "What do you think?" ”

Jia Mingyuan hurriedly chased back the thoughts of running away, raised the case file in his hand and said, "Think about these things." ”

Xu Ning glanced at it and asked him again: "What's there to think about here, isn't it all clear?" It's what the Qingran guards said today, we have to sum it up. ”

Jia Mingyuan didn't understand what he meant for a while, so his eyes were confused when he looked at him.

Xu Ning had already spoken: "Since Master Si has been outside the city last night, he also knows about the existence of that person, and he told us the news, what do you think she wants?" ”

Jia Mingyuan shook his head, but quickly said, "No matter what it is, let's not do it first, and wait for her to come back." ”

This obviously defended Zhuang Siyan's words, so Xu Ning couldn't help but give him a roll of the eyes, pressed his body forward, and whispered: "Brother Jia, you won't still be thinking about Miss Zhuang Si, right?" ”

Jia Mingyuan's face turned red to the root of his ears, and he also said it: "What are you talking nonsense, where is Miss Zhuang Si now, she is Lord Si, she is the emperor's secret agent, I didn't think about her, I just ......, just out of consideration of the case...... yes, it is the ......consideration of the case." ”

He hurriedly finished distinguishing, and when he saw Xu Ning looking at him meaningfully, he suddenly lost his words, and hurriedly said: "Brother Xu, Master Si has already talked about this matter with you, and now we are just colleagues, and we have no other relationship, please don't speculate and talk nonsense, so as not to ......, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to you and me, as well as her." ”

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows: "I know, don't worry, isn't it just the two of us here, I just asked you a few words, if you want to say that Mr. Si, you really don't match the current you." ”

This sentence pierced Jia Mingyuan's heart, but he couldn't refute it, after all, it was the truth.

Xu Ning accompanied him to sort out the case file in his hand, and analyzed the words that Qing Ran had uploaded earlier, and finally decided that they should not act rashly, and wait for Zhuang Siyan to come back.

But Xu Ning is restless, since he has been involved in these things, there is no reason to be passive, so after he came out of the Criminal Department, he went out of the city.

He first went to the moat, and when he saw that the Praetorian Guards were still looking for fish in the river, and muddy a pool of river water, but still found nothing, he came out of there and walked towards the Fengxian Nunnery.

Fengxian Nunnery is a nunnery that is rarely open to the public, and only receives pilgrims on the fifteenth day of the first day of each month.

Strange to say, such a deserted approach has been liked by people, and at these two times of the month, people from outside the city rush here.

Xu Ning was idle before, and he also looked here, of course, he didn't find anything abnormal at that time.

But when he came today, he didn't arrive at the time to enter the nunnery, so the temple door was closed, and only a small door was left on the side for the monks and nuns living inside to enter and exit.

Xu Ning lingered at the door for a while, but he really couldn't enter, so he simply found a stone to sit down in the small forest outside the door, enjoying the cool mountain breeze while watching the movement at the door.

As a result, I didn't see anything happening to the hermitage, and I was knocked unconscious by a punch.

By the time he woke up, he was already in a dark room, with nothing to see around him, not even a sound.

Xu Ning tried but couldn't move.

The rope tied to his body, wrapped like a prawn, threw him to the ground.

The dirt on the ground is a little damp and feels like it's in a basement or something.

This posture was really uncomfortable, he waited for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement outside, he shouted a few words first, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him.

I don't know how long it took before I heard a sound on the side of him, the door was opened, and a faint light shone in from the door and shone on Xu Ning's body.

It was a man who was holding the lamp, and when he came in, he was followed by a man.

There was a scar on the man's eyelid, and Xu Ning felt a chill in his heart when he saw it.

However, he did a good job on the surface, shouting why the other party would lock him up here, he was just a pilgrim who came up the mountain.

The big man looked at him for a few seconds before he spoke: "You are not a pilgrim, to be honest, what are you doing, otherwise I will kill you now." ”

At this time, Xu Ning really didn't dare to talk nonsense, but he couldn't say that he was a member of the court, and that would undoubtedly accelerate his death.

The other party didn't give him much time to tangle, and a knife slid out of the sleeve with a "whoosh" and hit Xu Ning's neck.

As soon as he was in a hurry, he continued to say in his original words: "Two masters, I am really a pilgrim, and I came in from the city, but I don't know why the door of the Fengxian Nunnery did not open, so I want to wait a little longer. Who are you two? Why did you arrest me here? ”

However, the big man was not affected by him at all, and only asked his own question: "Are you Si Yan's person, or their person, to be honest, don't go around and around." ”

Before the words fell, the knife had already cut through Xu Ning's skin.

Although he is usually very skinny, it is the first time that he has been framed by a knife, so he even stutters a little.

Fortunately, he usually runs around and sees a lot of the world, so he is scared at this time, but his brain is not messed up, and he quickly analyzed the two multiple-choice questions that the big man said just now.

As a result, I still don't know which one to choose, so I have a chance to live, so I can only take the risk of guessing the identity of the other party: "I'm not anyone, I'm just a little gangster in Beijing, but I've heard of your name, is General Jiang or not?" ”

Jiang Hanyi used to be very famous in Beijing, and he was worse than Ye Yuanpei now, but few juniors like Xu Ning knew about him, after all, he had been retired for a long time.

So as soon as he said his name, Jiang Hanyi was also surprised.

Have you really exposed too much lately? Catch any pilgrim and know who he is, so it won't be safe here in the future.

He didn't want to kill innocent people, but he didn't want to let go of those who might expose him.

Thinking like this, he didn't say a word back to Xu Ning, but gave the person holding the lamp a look, and then turned around and went out.

Xu Ning looked at this formation, it was not good, this was the rhythm that would kill him, if he didn't speak, he would have no chance, no matter which side it was, he had to bring one out, so he should try his luck.

Thinking like this, the words slipped out of his mouth: "General Jiang, although I am not anyone's person, but I met Master Si this morning, and he told me that the incense here is very prosperous, and I can't find a wife for so many years, so I can come here to put a pillar of incense and ask for a wish, maybe it can be as I wish." So, I'll give it a try. ”
