Chapter 436: Threat
"Don't be careless about the whip wounds on your body, you must take care of them well after you go back, and don't take it seriously just because your body is strong."
Xiao Rin nodded again and again, a smile appeared in his eyes, and his gentle gaze went straight into Jing Ning's heart. Jing Ning's heart trembled slightly, and he hurriedly coughed lightly and lowered his head to hide his embarrassment.
"Do you want to teach her some kung fu?" Xiao Rin glanced at Qinghuan not far away, and asked in a deep voice.
Jing Ning frowned, if she didn't teach, she would definitely not stay in the mansion obediently according to Qing Huan's temperament, but if she did, Jing Ning was afraid that she would take revenge if she had a little success.
In the end, Jing Ning sighed slightly and said, "Let's teach some self-defense first." ”
Xiao Rin nodded slightly, now that the sun has set in the west, Jing Ning didn't want to delay any longer, so he reluctantly said goodbye to Xiao Rin and returned to the palace.
After that, he passed a few days without incident, but it didn't take long for Zhao Duo, who was locked up in the Zongren Mansion, to be released. It turned out that he privately sent someone to find a scapegoat and took the charge on him for instructing Qinghuan to poison him, and the Queen Mother didn't expect to move to Zhao Duo completely through this matter, so she simply asked Song Yuan to let him go back.
Today, Jing Ning and Cai Yashan played a few games of chess in the imperial garden, Cai Yashan ran to Concubine Mei's dormitory after seeing Jing Ning, these days she has been running to Concubine Mei's palace almost every day, Jing Ning has to admire her perseverance. After sending Cai Yashan away, Jing Ning leisurely fed the koi in the pool, and from time to time dropped two pieces on the chessboard, playing against himself.
"The young lady is really in such a good mood!" At this moment, a deep male voice sounded. Jing Ning frowned and looked at it, it was Zhao Duo. His eyes stared at Jing Ning tightly, and the corners of his lips contained a bit of sarcasm and mockery, and Jing Ning's heart felt a slight chill.
"A few days ago, I heard that His Royal Highness the Sixth was sent to the Zongren Mansion, why was he released today?" Jing Ning looked Zhao Duo up and down, and there was no intention of giving in his words.
Zhao Duo's face sank when he heard this, and he walked towards Jing Ning unhurriedly, but he stopped in front of her, and a little dim light flashed in his eyes.
"Listen to the young lady, don't you want me to be released?" Zhao Duo's eyes crossed a little cold, and the eyes of the Yin Heron made Jing Ning feel a little disgusted.
She naturally didn't want Zhao Duo to be released, and it was best to be imprisoned forever in the cage that didn't see the light of day to reflect on her mistakes, but unfortunately the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes.
"His Royal Highness the Sixth thinks too much, I'm just saying it casually." A perfunctory smile appeared on Jing Ning's face, and he quietly widened the distance between himself and Zhao Duo.
Zhao Duo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he sneered disdainfully and said, "I'm afraid that the young lady is not only talking casually, but I'm afraid that the girl in my other courtyard was also taken away by the young lady at will?" ”
Jing Ning's heart tightened, she didn't expect Zhao Duo to find out about herself so quickly, but she didn't panic in her heart.
"I lack a clever girl by my side, His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness won't be so stingy to worry about this with me, right?" Jing Ning smiled, quite a bit of "I just took away the people, what can you do with me".
She thought that Zhao Duo would be furious when she heard this, but she didn't expect this person to be annoyed, but also laughed.
"It's just a cheap maid, I naturally don't care, but I don't know if this person is serving the young lady, or, General Xiao?" Zhao Duo lowered his voice when he said Xiao Rin, but there was a bit of threat hidden in his tone.
Jing Ning's heart suddenly panicked, she blamed her for being careless, she forgot to let Xiao Rin cover her face that day, it must have been the old bustard of the Sifang Pavilion who drew Xiao Rin's face and handed it to Zhao Duo.
Seeing that Jing Ning was silent, Zhao Duo's eyes flashed a little proud, he walked behind Jing Ning with his hands behind his back, leaned down slightly and leaned into Jing Ning's ear and said, "My second brother is not a good person, you say, if he knew that the border general would have returned privately, how would he react?" Who will the Manchu civil and military bias? Especially on the Queen Mother's side, tsk, young lady, General Xiao is really in a worrying situation. ”
Jing Ning pursed her lips tightly, Song Yuan and the Queen Mother naturally don't have to worry, the key is how the ministers of the DPRK and China will react, and what if Zhao Duo forces Song Yuan to deal with Xiao Rin? For a while, Jing Ning had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he couldn't help but worry about Xiao Rin in his heart.
"So, the young lady might as well send that girl back, so that only God knows about General Xiao's private return to Beijing." The smile on Zhao Duo's lips became deeper and deeper, and the smug color in his eyes became more and more intense.
"If the minister of the court knows that the sister of the person who poisoned His Majesty that day lives in the courtyard of the Sixth Highness, I don't know if the Sixth Highness will be sent to the Zongren Mansion or directly sent to the guillotine." Jing Ning's eyes flashed with a bit of murderous intent, and her tone was so cold that she turned to look at Zhao Duo, with a mocking smile on her beautiful face.
Zhao Duo frowned when he heard this, he stared at Jing Ning fiercely, as if he wanted to strangle her to death. Jing Ning also glared at Zhao Yu without flinching, and the killing intent on the two of them was exposed.
In the end, Zhao Duo was defeated first, and he sneered and said: "The young lady is really a good skill, Xiao Rin has a wife like this, it is really his blessing, I hope that in the future, the young lady can be as sharp as today." ”
Zhao Duo narrowed his eyes and stared at Jing Ning, as if he wanted to dig a hole in her. Jing Ning raised a faint smile, and she said in a deep voice: "I also hope that His Royal Highness the Sixth will see Qinghuan in the future, don't run away, I heard that the unjust soul of the person who died unjustly will turn into a ghost, Your Highness Six, the first seven of Qinghuan should be almost here, you have to be careful." ”
Jing Ning looked at Zhao Duo coldly, and when he saw his face flushed, he turned around and left the Imperial Garden with satisfaction.
Zhao Duo stared coldly at Jing Ning's departing back, and a bit of bloodthirsty scarlet flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly and whispered, "I won't let you have a good time!" ”
Jing Ning didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she returned to her hall, and after calming down a little, she went to find Song Yuan.
"But what's the matter?" Seeing that Jing Ning deliberately ran to the Qianqing Hall to find him, Song Yuan was a little surprised.
"Can you ask Your Majesty to allow me to return to the house?" Jing Ning pursed her lips slightly, with a little eagerness in her eyes.
Song Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded. In the past, the first emperor left Jing Ning in the palace in order to contain the general's mansion and the prime minister's mansion, but now Song Yuan thinks that there is no need for that, although he doesn't have any city mansion, but he is still very accurate in looking at people, and he naturally won't suspect loyal ministers like General Xiao and Prime Minister Zheng.
"I will decree that you will return to your house today." Song Yuan said lightly.
Jing Ning breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and hurriedly thanked Song Yuan, and then quickly went to the Queen Mother's palace to explain the matter to her. Originally, Jing Ning thought that the Queen Mother would speak out to stop her, but she didn't expect that the Queen Mother not only stopped her, but also sent a few clever palace maids to help her pack her luggage.
