Chapter 165: Death Too Sudden
When Ning Ziting and Ning Ziyu returned to the General's Mansion, it was already sunset, and the two sisters sneakily came in hand in hand, and they didn't dare to look at the gate, and when they entered the gate of the General's Mansion, they went to the Mingyue Pavilion with their heads bored.
"Coming back?"
At this moment, Ning Zimo is holding a half-bright plum blossom in her hand, pruning the flower branch and inserting a bottle, she always feels that the taste of spices in the room is heavier, and at this moment, mixed with this natural plum fragrance, it smells even more comfortable.
This jade slave has not been in the General's Mansion for most of the day since he went out in the morning.
At this moment, Ning Ziyu and Ning Ziting came back with their front feet, and the Yu Nu followed with their back feet.
"Miss, as you expected, after seeing those people in the afternoon, the two young ladies went to the major pharmacies to inquire about the heavenly remnant powder, and they didn't come back until it was getting dark."
"Have you been following them all afternoon? By the way, what did they say at noon? ”
"Miss, you are really clever, the slave and maid conveyed your meaning to her, and she really didn't dare to tell the truth. On the contrary, the trouble was planted on the head of the five princes. And they ran all afternoon, and they didn't ask where the poison was."
The lamp in the room was already in the hand, Ning Zimo's whole face was hidden in the darkness, her expression was gloomy, and she was accidentally happy: "I know that the two sisters are suspicious, Ning Ziyu is okay, her mind is simple and simple, and some emotions are never hidden in her heart." But since I was a child, Ning Ziting has not given me a good feeling, too extreme, suspicious and thoughtful, and I don't like to deal with people who are not close, such a person, it is better to be on guard. ”
"Yes, the old man always said that these four young ladies are introverted and not good at talking." This jade slave is a minion, and he doesn't dare to say that the fourth young lady is not good like Ning Zimo, so he can only choose some slightly more euphemistic words.
"These are all okay, do you remember the morning when we sent Arnold away, what the people in the house later said about the fourth miss, I still can't imagine how such a clean and refreshing girl with a clean and refreshing appearance cut off another person's head alive, I feel cold when I think about it."
The jade slave was silent for a while when he heard this, and when he was about to say something more, someone came in anxiously, Ning Zimo could know who it was when he heard the familiar footsteps, the look on his face was happy, and he waved his hand to let the jade slave go.
Sure enough, before Ning Xuanli entered the door, he hugged Ning Zimo in his arms and whispered in her ear: "Really good, are you waiting for me?" ”
When Ning Zimo heard this, she couldn't help but blush, and glanced at him coquettishly: "Dinner is ready, come over and eat." ”
"Sure enough, they were waiting for me."
Although Ning Xuanli spoke a little frivolously, there was always a faint sadness between his eyebrows, how did Ning Zimo know this man, seeing that people were a little worried, he gave him a bowl of soup and asked, "Is there trouble in the East Palace?" ”
Ning Xuanli had been busy in the East Palace for a day today, and the matter came to an end a little before he was released back by the prince.
"Yes, there's an accident on the prince's side."
"What's wrong with the prince?"
"It's not that something happened to the prince, it's that the prince feels that there are always people in the mansion staring at the East Palace sneakily recently, and he feels uneasy."
Ning Zimo was happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Who is the prince?" But today's prince of the Great Shun Kingdom, what is the great thing that can make him uneasy to be like that, and there are a lot of doormen in the East Palace, and it is difficult for them to eat dry food, how can something happen I always like to look for you, and go all day. ”
Ning Zimo said that when he said the back, he was quite complaining, as if he was blaming Ning Xuanli for not accompanying him all day today.
"Xiao Mo, are you blaming me for not being around all day?"
Ning Xuanli naturally heard it, and the hand that put down the dishes and chopsticks gently held her little hand, her hand was a little cold, and suddenly let him hold it in the palm of his hand, and there was a greedy heat.
She didn't withdraw her hand either, letting the warmth flood into her palm, she shook her head slightly, and whispered as if she had done something wrong: "I didn't say that, so what's going on in his East Palace?" ”
"It's a long story, and it's weird everywhere."
"Eccentric? What's weird? Haunted? ”
"Listen to me tell you slowly, early this morning, Jiuze, who was originally serving the prince, suddenly became unwell, very serious, vomiting and diarrhea, if it vomited ordinary food, it was just blood."
When Ning Zimo heard that he vomited blood, he didn't drink much of the bowl of blood swallows in front of him, put down the spoon and asked, "Is this sick?" Eat something that shouldn't be eaten, and I remember that there is no imperial doctor in the East Palace who invites the prince to be safe all the year round? ”
"It's weird here, the imperial doctor is also a veteran, I've seen countless incurable diseases in my life, but this time it's tricky, I can't find out what the reason is after checking for a long time, at that time, I saw that Jiu Ze had lost half of his life, and he vomited blood for several hours, and when I left the East Palace, Jiu Ze had already lost his breath."
"How so? How is this possible, then the imperial doctor has nothing to say? Did you eat the wrong dish, or did you eat some herbs by mistake and get poisoned? ”
Ning Xuanli breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "The poisoning is poisoning, but it is definitely not caused by eating any herbs by mistake, and the blood spit out is mixed with gray and blood clots, and Xiao Mo, according to Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu's later interrogation, this Jiu Ze was poisoned after tasting vegetables for the prince." ”
Ning Zimo was puzzled when he heard this, and asked with a wrinkled eyebrow: "Isn't there a special person for tasting food in general?" I remember that Jiuze served the prince closely? ”
"This is a strange place again, the little guy who tasted the food that day was suddenly not there, the prince was not such a particular person, and the little guy who tasted the food in the past did not have any accidents, I wanted to pick up the chopsticks and use them, but Jiuze was careful and very dedicated, so I had to taste the food for the prince, but after tasting it, I was poisoned."
"Brother, what do you mean, it can't be that this poison was meant to be given to the prince, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Ning Xuanli quickly covered her lips with his hand: "Shh!! You be quiet, today's incident in the East Palace is sudden, the person who assassinated the East Palace behind his back saw that I had been in the Prince's Mansion all day today, and I had already felt that someone was following me on the carriage back just now. ”
After saying this, he let go of his hand, Ning Zimo saw that he was serious, and couldn't help but lower his voice and asked: "This Jiu Ze was poisoned because he tasted vegetables for the prince, you have been in the prince's mansion all day today, have you interrogated anything?" From the preparation to the serving, there is a special person in charge of a dish. ”
"I asked, but I didn't ask anything, but now the little guy who tasted the food has never come back, so it can be seen that this matter has been premeditated for a long time. And when Jiuze was poisoned on the spot, the prince was shocked, and now the prince's heart is still unstable. ”
"Yes, if it weren't for Jiuze's careful heart today, it would be the prince who had an accident."
Ning Zimo sighed after this sentence before asking, "You frown, did you guess something?" ”
"I didn't guess anything, it's just that the situation is tense now, General Ning just left the capital, and there was an accident in the prince's East Palace, who can think that this is just an accident, and my people have been staring at the palace of the third prince, he has been on the verge of making a move recently, and it is estimated that this incident will have nothing to do with him nine times out of ten."
Ning Zimo and Ning Xuanli both felt that this matter was not simple, she ate bird's nest without a match, and then asked as if something sounded: "Then the prince, didn't you think about telling the emperor?" ”
"He wanted to go, but I stopped him."
"Why? Jiuze died in less than a day, this matter is obviously running for the life of the prince, the prince is the prince of the Great Shun Kingdom, and in two days the prince of Yanbei will arrive in the capital, at this juncture, the prince of this country died suddenly, I don't know what the chaos will be in Kyoto. ”
"You think, the person who died today is Jiuze, and the person behind it doesn't know that the prince is okay yet. But if the prince enters the palace unharmed to report this matter, the mastermind who drugged it will also know that the prince is fine, and when he sees that the prince is fine, he will definitely not dare to show any clues for a long time, and it will be difficult to track down whoever has a ghost in his heart at that time."
Ning Zimo nodded again and again when he heard this, his eyes flashed with admiration and starlight, and he looked at Ning Xuanli and said, "Then are you letting the prince do the trick?" ”
"Well, now I let the prince pretend to be sick in bed, pretending to be the kind that wants to die, and arranged for the imperial doctor to stay in the room all day, and I asked the crown princess to seal the East Palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."
"Wonderful brother, in this way, people who want to inform the news will be in a hurry, and it is estimated that the ghosts in the East Palace will leak out tonight."
The more Ning Zimo looked at it, the more he felt that Ning Xuan was resourceful at a young age, and he also somewhat understood why the prince liked to find his brother in any big and small matter, and arranged things properly.
Ning Zimo originally watched him eat well, but Ning Xuanli suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks, grabbed Ning Zimo's shoulders with his long arms, tightened his arms one by one, and pulled the person in front of him, and kissed Ning Zimo with his lips with the fragrance of rice so without any scruples.
She was a little dumbfounded, how did she develop like this? Aren't they discussing the affairs of the East Palace? How did you kiss it so well?
The key is that Ning Zimo felt that she was very useful, and her hands were disobediently wrapped around his waist, and she closed her eyes a little embarrassed.
The two of them were grinding their ears and temples, and it was difficult to separate, and after a while, Ning Xuanli let go of her, stared at her slightly red and swollen lips and smiled: "The next time you look at me so seductively, I will eat you." ”
"Don't be serious, eat your food."
Ning Zimo was a little red-faced, and he was not too embarrassed to look at him, and when he heard this, he stepped on him before starting to eat.
