Chapter 391: The princess breaks the siege
Early this morning, the emperor received a recital from Dali Temple, and he told the treacherous things concisely and concisely. After reading it, the emperor became suspicious. Wanxi was sent to the general's mansion by him, and he still has a certain understanding of his chess piece.
Wanxi looks weak, but in fact she is a little arrogant, but that does not mean that she has the courage to offend Princess Lu. And he knew that Wanxi City Mansion was not deep enough, but he would never be stupid enough to poison Princess Lu because of a skirt.
Almost instantly after watching the recital, the emperor became suspicious of Jing Ning.
"It was the courtier's daughter who didn't control Wanxi, which made her commit such a wrong thing, and asked the emperor to condemn her." Jing Ning frowned, she lowered her head, and the emperor couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.
"Do you think she would really poison Princess Lu?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, his tone was very cold, and his gaze at Jing Ning faintly revealed a bit of murderous intent.
"The courtiers don't know, but it's true, if the emperor suspects that my hands are not clean, just send someone to investigate." Jing Ning's tone was very steady, but a layer of cold sweat oozed from her forehead.
She dares to say this, naturally she has confidence, first, this matter was planned by Princess Lu, she was just pushing the boat on the side, and she understood Princess Lu's methods, no matter how much the emperor investigated, he couldn't find any valuable clues, and the most important thing was that Wanxi was already dead in prison at the moment, and there was no evidence of death at this time, so there was no way to investigate.
"You!" The emperor stood up abruptly and raised his hand to Jing Ning, obviously angry with her. The emperor naturally knew in his heart that he couldn't find anything, and he didn't have any hope of asking anything from Jing Ning, but Jing Ning's attitude at this time really angered him.
Jing Ning also knew that what he said was not very appropriate, so he immediately kowtowed to the emperor and whispered: "The emperor is angry, it was the courtiers who rushed into the emperor with wild words, but Jing Ning really didn't dare to do anything to Wanxi, after all, it was the person given by the emperor to the general's mansion, and the courtiers didn't dare to slack off, and asked the emperor to be clear!" ”
The emperor's face softened slightly when he heard this, and he looked at Jing Ning with a gloomy face, as if he was thinking about how to punish her, and at this moment a shrill voice sounded: "Your Majesty, Princess Lu is asking to see her, and people are waiting outside the palace." ”
The emperor raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed a little bright, and he said in a deep voice: "Xuan." ”
Princess Lu wore a simple and generous blue dress today, but she was still full of charm, with a hint of charm on her pretty face.
"What's the matter with the young lady that makes the emperor so angry?" Princess Lu glared at Jing Ning as if complaining, then she looked at the emperor and continued: "The emperor must take care of the dragon body, what if you are angry?" ”
Since the moment he saw Princess Lu, the emperor's eyes have never left her, at this time, Princess Lu smiled and Yan Yan deliberately flattered, and the emperor naturally couldn't take his eyes off, and the anger on his face had already disappeared.
Jing Ning intuitively felt a wave of nausea in his heart, and goosebumps all over his body.
"Your Majesty, yesterday that Wanxi actually poisoned me, I vomited blood, you see, today's blush can't make me lift up." Princess Lu said as she took out an embroidered handkerchief and wiped her tears, looking pitiful.
The emperor almost immediately wanted to hug the beauty into his arms, but because Jing Ning was still kneeling underneath, he had to pretend to be serious and said: "That poisonous woman has committed suicide in prison, you don't have to worry about this time, Jing Ning, you can retreat first." ”
The emperor waved his hand at Jing Ning as he spoke, obviously thinking that she was delaying his good deeds. Jing Ning glanced at Lu Guifei when she heard this, Lu Guifei nodded slightly to her, and Jing Ning retreated.
As soon as the door of the hall was closed, Jing Ning heard bursts of laughter from inside, and she shivered involuntarily, feeling a chill in her heart. But she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, now that Princess Lu was dealing with the emperor, she thought that this matter should be able to calm down.
However, just as Jing Ning was about to return to the general, he bumped into Ji Guifei head-on.
But after a few days, Ji Guifei's face was no longer as bright and moving as it was at the beginning, she was pale, tired, and her eyes were full of fierceness, and she didn't even have the gentleness she pretended to be on weekdays.
Jing Ning's heart jumped, and he was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Concubine Ji.
"Why did the young lady leave when she saw me? Is it a lack of heart? Concubine Ji stood firmly behind Jing Ning, looking at her with resentment in her eyes.
Jing Ning had no choice but to turn around and bow to Concubine Ji.
"The courtiers don't understand what you're saying." Jing Ning's face was flat, but her hand in her sleeve was clenched. She naturally knew what Concubine Ji meant. If it weren't for her that day, the Ji family would not have become what it is now, but if Jing Ning was given another chance, she would still stick to what she did at the beginning.
"Heh, I don't understand, Zheng Jingning, you listen to me, I will definitely settle the hatred of my Ji family with you!" Ji Guifei's delicate face was a little distorted because of hatred, and that hideous expression made Jing Ning's heart furious.
"Concubine Ji, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and the Ji family has done a lot of evil things." Jing Ning remembered his leisurely and desperate expression that day, and his tone suddenly became a little colder.
Concubine Ji didn't seem to expect Jing Ning to say such a thing to herself with such an attitude, she was stunned for a moment, and then squinted her eyes and stared at Jing Ning fiercely.
"You have a hard mouth, I want to see if you can be so tough when I see the emperor for a while!" Concubine Ji Guifei waved her hand lightly as she spoke, and then two palace ladies stepped forward to restrain Jing Ning.
But Jing Ning didn't resist, she just raised her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Ji coldly.
It turned out that when Concubine Ji Guifei heard about Wanxi early in the morning, she also knew that Emperor Xuan Jingning had entered the palace to question, so she hurriedly rushed to Zhenghe Palace, wanting to pour dirty water on Jingning to hold the hatred of the Ji family. But Concubine Ji didn't know that the interrogation in the palace had already ended, and other activities were being carried out right now.
Jing Ning also guessed Ji Guifei's thoughts, so she didn't resist, she even looked forward to Ji Guifei's plans when she saw the scene in the palace.
"Concubine Niangniang, you can't go in!" The little eunuch at the door looked anxious, and Concubine Ji gave him a cold look and silenced him. Jing Ning sneered in his heart, this is what you want to go in!
The moment she pushed open the door of the hall, Jing Ning heard Princess Lu's soft cry and the sound of Concubine Ji Guifei gasping.
"Presumptuous! Who allowed you in? The emperor's roar revealed a bit of annoyance.
Jing Ning took advantage of the chaos and hurriedly asked the two palace ladies beside her, and walked quickly to the outside of the palace, she didn't want to wade into this troubled water. Before leaving, she glanced at Ji Guifei's stiff figure, and sighed in her heart.
