Xue Niannian had already fallen to the ground at this time, and was disturbed by this sudden change, although he didn't look at Chu Ning, he didn't have time to release the flying bird that was transformed by the spell. Those musicians who played music were all attracted by the "parrot boy" Jing Yuanyi, and they didn't even finish the song, so they just stretched their necks to watch the excitement.

She silently interrogated the young ladies and the maidservants they had brought with her, and when she saw that everyone was as usual, she nodded to her sister.

The crown princess Xue Yiyi said softly: "Since this is the case, then ask the queen mother to order a search, whoever the tortoise is, it must be who killed someone." ”

Chu Ning stroked the wide sleeves intentionally or unintentionally, and there seemed to be a hard thing inside: "Isn't the crown princess's words a bit too arbitrary, not to mention that the spiral turtle may have crawled away by itself, even if it really appears on someone, it may be framed, isn't it?" ”

Most of the people in the Wuji Hall already knew about the bet between Chu Ning and Xue Niannian, except for Mrs. Xiaowei and the whirling turtle. Chu Ning's words sounded to them as if they were completely quibbling and shirking. No one cares how an old and decrepit palace maid who is in charge of miscellaneous affairs dies, but if her death can pull a daughter of the Su family who may have a true phoenix personality to be buried with her, then she can be regarded as a well-deserved death.

Before the crown princess could speak, Ji Chongguang had already raised his voice lightly and said lightly: "It seems that Miss Chu Ning doesn't know, the spinning turtle can't climb." ”

The bright lights in the hall shone on him, and the whole person was obviously in the brightest place, but it seemed to be sunk in a thick black shadow. It is like an ancient sacrificial tripod placed in the deepest part of the temple, with a little nobility and mystery.

Not only Chu Ning didn't know about this, but I am afraid that few people here knew about it.

"On the back of the spinning turtle, there is a snake head growing backwards, no matter which direction the spinning turtle goes, the snake's head will always go in the opposite direction," Ji Chongguang lowered his head slightly, hiding his gaze just right, and gently twisting his fingers, Chu Ning had seen him unconsciously make this small movement many times, "Therefore, it can't go either way, it can only spin in place." ”

The crown princess was surprised and a little proud when she expected Ji Chongguang to help her speak: "If you don't have any other opinions, please ask the queen mother to send two safe people to check your things." But ......"

She turned her head slowly, her eyes swept over Chu Ning's sleeves: "After all, today is my father's birthday banquet, and all the guests who come are distinguished guests, and it really doesn't look like a search around." Miss Chuning, I remember that when the young ladies were performing songs and dances just now, you seemed to have been out for a while, can you show everyone what you have hidden in your sleeve? ”

Chu Ning's fingers gently stroked his sleeve: "It stands to reason that the crown princess's request, I shouldn't refuse, but I was entrusted by someone to bring something to a person, and the thing hasn't been delivered yet, the crown princess has to look at it first, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

Xue Niannian sneered: "Pushing three and resisting four, it shouldn't be a weak heart." ”

Chu Ning shook his head naturally, but he still sat still: "Of course not, Miss Xue Er rest assured." ”

Xue Niannian became more and more sure that there must be the spiral turtle hidden in her sleeve, and she took a few steps forward to pull her sleeve: "Since it's not a weak heart, let's take it out and take a look......"

She had just finished dancing a song of the Nine Shadows Flying Immortals, and before she could change back into her ordinary clothes, the shark yarn on her body dragged on the ground, like four long tails.

When Chu Ning waited for her to get closer, she dodged sideways, and a small yellow-feathered bird delicately grabbed Xue Niannian's shark yarn, bypassed the hollow patterns of several tables and stools, and quickly tied a knot. Xue Niannian only cared about stopping Chu Ning, but still chased forward quickly, the table that the shark yarn tied was overturned by her, and the exquisite dishes on the banquet were splashed all over the ground, and Xue Niannian's body was also covered with oil.

Xue Niannian has never been so ugly in public, the last time he was splashed with water in the Meng Mansion, after all, there were only a few boudoir ladies, and this time he was indeed in front of King Qi and the prince's brother-in-law, and he almost cried on the spot.

"Miss Xue Er, be careful," Chu Ning turned around and stretched out a deep hand to help her, Xue Niannian turned his head away with a snort.

Chu Ning was not annoyed at all, his eyes swept across the mess of cups and plates all over the ground, and suddenly pointed to one of them and said, "This, this is what you are talking about, right?" It seems to have fallen out of Miss Gu's belongings. ”

Gu Caiwei has always been good friends with Xue Niannian, and at this moment she said with a white face: "I didn't go out just now, this is ...... You must have planted it for me. ”

Chu Ning turned his head and looked at Mrs. Xiaowei resentfully: "She obviously went out to change her clothes before the performance just now, why did I call out when I went out, and she didn't call out when she went out?" Also, I told the princess just now, where did the tortoise find it, it doesn't prove anything, it is likely to be framed, the princess doesn't believe it, and now Miss Gu said it, the princess can believe it, right? Sister, brother-in-law, you are judged. ”

She said it so cutely that it was impossible to tell whether she really didn't understand anything, or she was deliberately coquettish and stupid, but she was heartfelt.

When King Qi was young, he was also arrogant, but at this moment, he felt that Chu Ning was very angry with him, not to mention Mrs. Xiaowei, who put it in King Qi's ear and said a lot of good things for her. King Qi spoke: "What you said is reasonable, the search and conviction is indeed too reckless. A slave and maid in the palace is just a maid, and if he dies, he will die, and it is not worth making trouble for this. ”

The crown princess didn't want to speak again, so the prince took over: "What my father said is that the slaves and maids in the palace, if the people in the royal family want to dispose of them, they can naturally do whatever they want, but if others have bad intentions, it will provoke the dignity and face of you and the queen mother, and you must not be spared." ”

He turned his head to look at Chu Ning: "Miss Chu Ning and I have only met twice, and today is also a matter of affairs, just now you have been away from the table for the longest time, so naturally you are the most suspicious, if Miss Chu Ning has a clear conscience, it is better to take out the things hidden in her sleeve and take a look, if there is nothing unseemly, presumably Miss Chu Ning will not refuse." ”

"Of course I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on the matter," Chu Ning hooked his fingers at the ends of his hair, "I just smashed the beautiful maid next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once, and was imprisoned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as an assassin overnight, and I really don't have any deep hatred with His Royal Highness the Prince, since you want to see this thing, then look at it." ”

She didn't pay attention to the prince's blue and white face, pulled out something that looked like a spinning turtle from her sleeve, and walked straight to King Qi: "Your Majesty, this is a congratulatory gift that someone wants to give you." ”

The guests in the hall couldn't help but want to see what kind of treasure it was, but what Chu Ning was holding in his hand was just a round piece of wood, on which a crooked and twisted word for longevity was engraved with a simple knife that could not bear to look at it directly.

Chu Ning solemnly held the piece of wood in both hands: "I went out for a longer time just now, but it was because I met a boy outside, standing outside with this thing, but he didn't dare to come in." ”

Mrs. Xiaowei made a color to the eunuch, and the eunuch who accompanied him came back to his senses, took the thing and sent it to King Qi. King Qi had a gloomy face, and it took a long time to say to the queen: "Today's birthday banquet, why didn't you call Forget Huan, no matter what, Forget Huan is also the blood of the widow." ”

His tone was already very bad, from the queen to the prince, his face was very bad, the two sisters and brothers were left in a corner like a cold palace and ignored, they simply got the acquiescence of the king of Qi, but now that he said this, the queen had to make amends: "It's me who didn't think it through......"

King Qi picked up the piece of wood and rubbed it with his hand for a moment before asking, "What about Forget Huan?" Call him. ”

The queen couldn't figure out what King Qi meant, so she quietly waved her hand and asked someone to invite, and after a while, the person came back, but she didn't invite to forget the joy, only to forget the worries.

Dressed in a white-washed Luo skirt, her hair was only tied by a hand-shaved wooden hairpin, she knelt down in front of King Qi without worry, and made a great salute to the monarch's father with good manners, but did not say a word.

King Qi had just been aroused by a gift, and he was immediately torn apart by anger, this daughter had never called him a father. He was about to open his mouth to ask, but Forget Worry spoke: "Forget Huan has already slept and can't come." ”

Several sons of the King of Qi bowed their heads and fiddled with wine bottles and silver chopsticks, in their opinion, it was inevitable to forget their worries and anger the King of Qi and be beaten. Chu Ning also lowered her head, not looking at the father and daughter with a strange atmosphere in the main hall at all, only Ji Chongguang noticed that her fingers were lightly clasped on her wrists, and she was beating the rhythm of the song of the Nine Shadows Flying Immortals, and it seemed that the development of the situation was still under her control.

"He's scared," Forget said again, "he's killed someone tonight." ”

There was a very light boo in the Wuji Palace, and Forget Worry used her voice as light as old snow to tell the story again, how Nian Chun humiliated them, it was originally true, it sounded flawless, but the person who killed people changed from Chu Ning to Forget Huan, and in the end, Forget Worry sighed, and added a line to Forget Huan out of thin air: After all, I am the son of Qi State, and my father and queen mother can punish me and scold me, even if you kill me, how dare you be a lowly slave?

King Qi didn't speak for a long time, and Chu Ning knew that she was right. The king, who killed his twin brother to regain the throne and conquered other countries more than 30 times after ascending the throne, several adult sons were too weak and quiet, and the bloody nature of forgetting to deal with slaves and maids hit the point in his heart just right.

Sure enough, King Qi no longer asked about Nian Chun's death at all, and only asked the queen to send a few more people to take care of Forget Huan, and she should not be negligent in the future.

was stirred up by Nian Chun's death, and the birthday banquet naturally couldn't continue. After King Qi left, the people in the Wuji Hall were ready to disperse. Chu Ning took advantage of the chaos to get close to Forget Worries: "How?" Am I qualified to trade with you now? ”
