29, Night Kill (3)
Hearing Chu Ning's words, Jiang Chengyu stepped forward in a few steps: "Because of her unclear words, she wants to search us people?" Those who are in the palace tonight are all the wives and concubines of their fathers. ”
Chu Ning lowered his head: "What Gongzi said is that it is precisely because the palace is full of nobles that it is necessary to search carefully, otherwise, if the assassin is hiding somewhere in the palace, wouldn't the nobles be more dangerous?" ”
When the two stalemates, the door of the temple was slammed open, and a female slave walked in expressionlessly, and the soldiers guarding the door couldn't stop her, it was the ghostly sister of Ji Chongguang's side.
Gui Mei knelt down in front of the queen of a man dressed in the clothes of a palace servant, but her eyes stared straight at her and spoke: "This person is sneaky outside, bleeding from the ribs, and he is not a good person at first glance." ”
The person lying on the ground has already breathed more and less air. Jiang Chengyu saw it, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Since the assassin has been found, ask who instructed him to come, and it will be clear." ”
The man opened his mouth, moved like a dehydrated fish, and died.
Chu Ning could see clearly, that person must have done rough work somewhere, and the injury under his ribs was so deep that it had already hurt his heart and lungs, and he barely supported himself here, so he died early or late. You don't need to ask to know that it was Gui Mei who grabbed someone casually and pretended to be injured in the ribs, and the person who ordered her to do so was naturally Ji Chongguang. In order to get out of a disadvantageous situation for himself, he really did everything.
She turned her head to look at the person who had made this scene, but she only saw the pair of pure black eyes, looking at them emptyly, just like the night when the two of them met every time.
As soon as the so-called "assassin" died, it was again a situation where there was no proof of death. But the matter involved Su Sirong and Gongzi An, and it was not good for the queen to continue to lock up Chu Ning, because that would only make people feel that the queen still doubted them. She ordered someone to dress Chu Ning and send her home well, and even prepared gifts to appease Su Yu and Princess Ankang. The queen herself has no heirs, so she carefully balances the relationship in the palace and does not grudge against any prince, because any prince has the possibility of inheriting the throne in the future.
From beginning to end, Su Sirong and Gongzi An, who were really related to Chu Ning, did not say a word as if avoiding suspicion.
When Chu Ning returned home, it was already early in the morning of the third day, and as soon as he entered the door, he met Su Yu and Princess Ankang with Su Jinyao to visit the old lady.
The old lady of the Su family has long been concerned about the trivial matters at home, and only raises birds and flowers in her Fulan Garden. Of course, the old lady of the Su family is not a vulgar thing, just those few birds are extraordinary, and some of the flowers and plants planted are amazingly toxic, and some have the magical effect of reviving the dead.
When Chu Ning saw them, not only did he not avoid them, but greeted them generously: "Second uncle, second aunt, are you going to visit your grandmother?" Shall I come with you? ”
Princess Ankang glanced at her a few times in disbelief, and then still put on the arrogant appearance on weekdays: "Today the sun is really out of the west, and it is the first time in more than ten years to see you so filial, don't worry about the old lady's treasure, take advantage of the crowd and want to get a cheaper, right?" ”
"What are you talking about second aunt," Chu Ning stepped forward with a smile, "I used to be young, but now that I'm older, I naturally can't be naughty." Didn't the second uncle say a few days ago that he wanted me to learn more serious things from my sister, and I went to visit my grandmother, could it be that the second uncle didn't think it was a serious matter? ”
After some narrowly escaped death, Chu Ning had already figured out that in the eyes of outsiders, her connection with the Suyin family was constant. What's more, it would be stupid to have such a big tree backed by the Suyin family and not make good use of it.
The more she spoke frankly and naturally, the more she looked at Princess Ankang's eyes, the more like a thorn in her throat. At this time, Su Yu had already opened his mouth: "Hurry up, don't let your mother wait for a long time." Princess Ankang gave her a blank look and left with Jin Yao first.
As soon as I entered the door of Fulan Garden, I heard the sound of a group of people talking and laughing from a distance.
Mrs. Su has three sons and two daughters, the eldest son Su Li has been obsessed with immortal alchemy since he was a child, and he is not at home, leaving only the second son Su Yu and the third son Su Heng by his side. In addition to Su Tianxin, there is also Su Huiran, who is over thirty years old and still not married, and is an out-and-out old virgin. Su Sirong, who was sent to the palace, was not her own.
The day of Chu Ning's rush was just right, and the children and grandchildren at home were almost here, and they were talking to the old lady. But as soon as she entered the door, the laughter became cold, and everyone's eyes seemed to look at her casually.
Princess Ankang pushed Su Jinyao forward, accompanied by a smiling face, and said: "Mother, Yao'er has learned a new kind of dim sum these days, eating sweet and sour, and she herself is clamoring to bring it to her grandmother to taste, but we can't help it, so we have to take her to disturb my mother." ”
But Su Jinyao squirmed, unwilling to go forward, and looked at a fierce beast at the old lady's feet with some fear.
