The person who came took off the black cloak on his body and handed it to Wen Xing, revealing a slightly sharp and beautiful face. It turned out to be Princess Lu Lu. Jing Ning collected the look on his face, got up and put on a piece of clothing, and stretched out his hand to signal Princess Lu Lu to sit down.

"I wonder what happened to Princess Lu's late-night visit?" Jing Ning calmly raised the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Princess Lu Lu with his own hands.

A smile rose on Princess Lu Lu's lips, she raised her hand to pull her hair that was a little messy because of wearing a cloak, and said, "This rash visit naturally has something important to discuss with the young lady. ”

Jing Ning was puzzled in her heart, but her face was silent, she pulled the placket of her clothes, and looked straight at Princess Lu Lu with a pair of clear eyes.

"Princess Lu might as well say it directly."

Princess Lu's eyes flashed slightly, and she said in a somewhat low tone: "I need the young lady to help me bring down King Lu." ”

The smile on Jing Ning's face froze, and his gaze gradually became cold. Seeing that Jing Ning's face was different, Princess Lu hurriedly added: "In return, I will help the young lady clean up the people who should not appear in the general's mansion." ”

Jing Ning's eyes flashed slightly, and he said softly: "For example? ”

"Wanxi and Ji Qing. Thinking about it, the young lady should not want General Xiao to have two more concubines. Princess Lu Lu's eyes were full of determination, and she was also present at the palace banquet that day, so she naturally saw Jing Ning's dislike for Wanxi clearly. As for Ji Qing, she was reluctant to let her enter the mansion if she wanted to come to Jingning. She is confident that the revenge she proposes will definitely make Jing Ning's heart move.

Indeed, Jing Ning had almost no resistance to the remuneration proposed by Princess Lu Lu, she was already tired of Wanxi, and she didn't want to be with Ji Qingxu and the snake all day long, because of the emperor, she couldn't do anything.

But this does not mean that she can't borrow someone else's hand to get rid of these two thorns in her side, and Princess Lu Lu is a suitable candidate, she has a noble status, a strategy, and a means, even if she is discovered by the emperor, because of King Lu, she will not be punished.

But there's no such thing as a free lunch. How easy is it to bring down King Lu?

"The reward that Princess Lu proposed is indeed what I want, but why do you want me to do it to deal with King Lu?" Jing Ning raised her eyebrows and looked at Princess Lu Lu, and there was a bit of sharpness hidden in her peaceful gaze. After all, if there is anything wrong with this matter, I am afraid that the situation of the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion will be much more difficult than it is now.

"The young lady has the support of the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion behind her, so naturally you don't have to be afraid of King Lu, but what I value is not these, what I like is the strategy of the young lady, and the young lady can get to this point, she must not be a simple person." Mrs. Lu smiled kindly, but her eyes were full of calculation.

Jing Ning chuckled lightly, and said in a somewhat low tone: "Princess Lu is polite, but if I should do this, how can Princess Lu drive those two out of the palace, especially Ji Qing, her identity is not simple." ”

Jing Ning didn't believe in Princess Lu's methods, Wanxi was naturally easy, but Ji Qing was the eldest daughter of the military department, the niece of Ji Guifei, and the county lord of the emperor's own title, such an identity was not easy to deal with.

"On the night of the palace banquet, my carriage followed behind the young lady's carriage, and I checked his background as the assassin that night." Princess Lu showed a meaningful smile.

Jing Ning's face became serious, Ji Qing's matter was small, but the safety of the General's Mansion was a big matter, the assassin's origin was unknown, and he was a potential threat to the General's Mansion, listening to Princess Lu's meaning, what did the assassin have to do with Ji Qing?

"Can Princess Lu elaborate?" Jing Ning leaned forward slightly, his eyes a little more eager.

"Young lady don't worry, if the young lady can help me deal with King Lu, then I will naturally deal with the assassin properly, and as for those two women, they will definitely not appear in the General's Mansion." Madame Lu avoided Jing Ning's question, and deliberately did not say the background of the assassin, after all, it was a bargaining chip for her, and she believed that Jing Ning would definitely not refuse her.

Jing Ning took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly in contemplation.

Although it is difficult to deal with King Lu, it is not impossible to deal with it, but she is really not easy to deal with those two women, and now Princess Lu still has the assassin in her hand as a bargaining chip, it seems that this business will not work if she does not agree. And it didn't hurt her to do anything. It's just a bit of a risk.

Jing Ning opened his eyes, and his eyes were incomparably clear and translucent.

"According to what Princess Lu said, I hope that Princess Lu can properly deal with that assassin." Jing Ning said as she raised the teacup to signal to Princess Lu, Princess Lu showed a smile on her face, and also raised the teacup, the two looked at each other and smiled, and took a sip of tea.

After sending off Princess Lu, Jing Ning was very sleepy, and fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

Early the next morning, Ji Qing came to Jingning Courtyard as usual.

Jing Ning looked at Ji Qing who was smiling in front of him, and the doubts in his heart became heavier and heavier. Ji Qing has been following the rules since he entered the palace, and he must come to her courtyard every day to sit for a while, but he does not mention anything related to Xiao Rin, and according to Luohua's reply, Ji Qing has no contact with Ji Guifei, and his attitude towards Wanxi is also very bad, and he doesn't look like a person who was deliberately placed in the mansion.

Remembering what Princess Lu said last night, Jing Ning decided to test Ji Qing.

"My sister's face doesn't look good, but what's uncomfortable?" Ji Qing's eyes were concerned and his tone was soft.

"I had a nightmare yesterday, and I was assassinated the night after the palace banquet, and now I think about it and I'm still a little afraid." Jing Ning gently stroked his forehead and quietly observed Ji Qing's expression.

Sure enough, Ji Qing's face changed, the smile on her face instantly stiffened, and a little panic flashed in her eyes, Jing Ning was now almost sure that the assassin's matter must be related to Ji Qing.

Ji Qing quickly adjusted her expression, she patted her chest lightly, and said softly: "Fortunately, my sister is safe and sound, the assassin is too bold, can my sister see the appearance of the assassin clearly?" Why don't you draw it and hand it over to the government to deal with. Ji Qing was very concerned in his words, but his expression was not very natural, especially when he asked about the appearance of the assassin, a little nervousness obviously flashed in his eyes.

"Then there is no need, it was late at that time, and I couldn't see it very clearly, so I vaguely took a look, I have already handed this matter over to others to deal with, if I catch that assassin, I will definitely not spare him!"

Jing Ning's face flashed a little fiercely, and his eyes became even colder, Ji Qing squeezed out a smile and echoed, but there was worry in his eyes. Jing Ning knew in her heart, I was afraid that the assassin had a lot to do with Ji Qing, but looking at Ji Qing's appearance, she didn't seem to know that someone had committed an assassination, if the assassin was not sent by her, then who would it be?

Jing Ning was no longer entangled in this, and said something else to Ji Qing, but Ji Qing had been in a trance, and her mind was not very concentrated, Jing Ning knew that she was afraid that she had just disturbed her mind, and she became more and more curious about the identity of the assassin.
