Sima Jiao's face turned pale, is it really his grandfather?

Qin Changning no longer glanced at Sima Jiao, let people fetch water and pour it into the bath bucket, and asked Qin Changning to go over to bathe, Qin Changning got up and walked to the clean room.

Qin Changning thought that Sima Jiao should leave after she came out after bathing, but when she came out, she saw that Sima Jiao was already familiar with sitting on her bed, Qin Changning's eyes flashed with a touch of surprise, and he looked sideways at Cardamom, just now Lu Qi was waiting for her to bathe inside, Cardamom has been outside, Cardamom saw Qin Changning looking at herself, and helplessly blessed Qin Changning, not knowing what she should say.

She also thought that a noble person like the eighth princess should not have received any chess in the palace, and she should have thrown her sleeves away in a fit of anger after being sarcastically ridiculed by the county lord just now, but this eighth princess was good, and even asked her to fetch hot water for her to serve her to wash, and then lay on the county lord's bed as a matter of course...

Sima Jiao looked at Qin Changning's inquiring eyes at Cardamom, pursed her lips and said, "Don't ask her, I asked her to serve me to bathe, even if I am out of the palace now, but I still have the blood of the Sima clan in my body, and I am still a princess of the court, and she doesn't dare to disobey me." ”

Qin Changning raised his eyebrows and looked at Sima Jiao, his face was cold, "So, what do you mean by this now?" ”

Sima Jiao looked at Qin Changning, her eyes were deep, and she said in a sincere tone, "Although I don't know why my grandfather did that, and I can't stop them, what I can promise you is that I won't be with them... Please trust me. ”

Qin Changning glanced at Sima Jiao deeply, pursed his lips, walked over and pulled out the quilt and lay down, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you say it would be quiet at night?" ”

Seeing that Qin Changning did not object to her staying, Sima Jiao showed a smile on her face, shook her head and said, "I sleep very quietly, and I won't disturb you." ”

Qin Changning stopped talking and closed his eyes to sleep.

…

Prime Minister's Office.

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng looked at the three dead bodies left in the courtyard with a gloomy face, his face was gloomy and could drip water, and standing behind him were several strategists raised in his house, including Liu Yuqing and Su Haoran, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng pointed to the corpse in the middle and said in a deep voice, "Take the paper on his body and give it to Benxiang!" ”

One of the strategists, who looked relatively thin, stepped forward and took off the letterhead on it and respectfully handed it to Prime Minister Xiao, who took it irritably, opened the letter, and saw the words on it Xiao Chengxiang angrily threw the paper on the ground, and looked at a few strategists angrily, "It's all your good ideas!" Now not only have we almost killed our dead soldiers, but even the corpses have been sent to the Prime Minister's mansion, and you can see this piece of paper! ”

Liu Yuqing stood there motionless, her face was indifferent, and she hooked the corners of her mouth and said, "Prime Minister, I said a long time ago that I would not send someone to intercept and kill the county lord of Changning, let alone send someone to the Jin Palace's Mansion to inquire about her, so it is easy to startle the snake, you see this..."

After speaking, he glanced at the thin strategist, "Brother Qi Hong, you made a mistake this time." ”

Su Haoran stood aside and nodded in response, "What Brother Yuqing said is that now we haven't figured out the details of this Changning County Lord, so we rashly went to assassinate her, and we are the ones who suffer in the end." ”

Liu Yuqing glanced at Su Haoran, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes, but this smile was retracted when he looked at Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, who had a calm face, and he pursed his lips and said, "Now it seems that this Changning County Lord already knows that we sent someone over, do you think you want someone to explain, just say that this is a misunderstanding?" ”

Prime Minister Xiao frowned and glanced at Liu Yuqing, then stood up with his hands in a deep voice, "How to explain!" Isn't that getting darker and darker! ”

Su Haoran nodded and agreed, "What the lord said is that we can ignore this matter, anyway, the letter from the county lord of Changning is not signed, and tomorrow morning, people will spread the news that the Prime Minister's Mansion was assassinated..."

Xiao Chengxiang glanced at Su Haoran approvingly for a while, nodded and said, "It's still thoughtful, since these assassins came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to assassinate, it was not the Prime Minister who sent them to assassinate the Lord of Changning, but someone who seemed to have killed the Prime Minister and the Lord of Changning, and the Prime Minister and the Lord of Changning can be regarded as having a common enemy." ”

When Liu Yuqing and Su Haoran heard Prime Minister Xiao say this, a faint emotion flashed in their eyes, but they were all flashes and couldn't be captured.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Xiao Cheng looked at the three corpses on the ground in disgust, and said indifferently, "Deal with them!" ”

Liu Yuqing and others also retired together.

Early the next morning, the incident of the assassins in the Prime Minister's Mansion was boiling in the neighborhood, some people said that it was the enemy of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and some people said that the prince was afraid of the people sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion... There are various theories, but the most interesting point is that the assassins who went to assassinate the Prime Minister's Mansion this time turned out to be the same organization as the assassins encountered by the convoy of the Jin Wangfu on the road last time.

"I heard that the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion also killed three people, and all three of them were sent to the Criminal Department!"

"I heard that they are all dead soldiers on the rivers and lakes, and if they can't be identified, is it useful to hand them over to the Criminal Department?"

"It's definitely useless, you see that they were assassinated by the county lord of Changning, and they also asked the criminal department to investigate, and the identity of the assassin has not been found until now!"

"Oh, it's not safe in the capital now."

"What's not safe? I'm not here to kill you..."

Dong'er, who was petite in the crowd, heard her eyes glow, and she pulled a passer-by and asked, "Then, is that Xiao Chengxiang injured?" Those assassins must have been injured if they were so powerful, right? ”

The passer-by who was pulled by Dong'er turned around and looked at this little girl with a strange look, how could a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old be interested in such a bloody thing!

Seeing the other party's puzzled look, Dong'er hurriedly said, "I heard that those assassins encountered in the Jin Palace's Mansion were very powerful, and they killed all the guards of the Jin Palace!" And there is also a young lady who is injured, are the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion okay? ”

The passer-by looked at Dong'er's curious gaze, sighed in his heart that she was still a little girl, don't worry about the little girl, shook his head and said, "I was not injured, even the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were not injured, and I killed three assassins." ”

Hearing that the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion were not injured, a touch of disappointment flashed in Dong'er's eyes, and after thanking the passer-by, he turned around and walked in the direction of the Jin Palace, muttering as he walked, "It's a pity that the big villain was not injured!" ”

It's really unfair that the county lord is safe every time because they have been injured many times.

But he still hurried back to tell Qin Changning the good news of the assassin encounter in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
