The sky had already darkened, but the princess's mansion was brightly lit, and the lights that were flickering made the night covered with a layer of blood-colored red light, and the subordinates who were called to the courtyard lowered their heads tremblingly, for fear of making a little noise.

Yang Yingxue leaned close to Xia Jingqiu, with uneasiness in her eyes: "Mother, cousin, why did she suddenly invite us over, is it because she let her know the content of our conversation during the day?" ”

Xia Jingqiu was also extremely worried in her heart, Shen Ninghua, who was able to play well in the imperial court, should be more in control of her mansion: "Xue'er, don't think nonsense, we didn't say anything about hurting her biological mother and her during the day, it shouldn't be because of this matter, wait and see what happens, don't be frightened by your own crankiness." ”

"Well, I see, Mother." Looking at the murderous emotions around her, Yang Yingxue bit her lip, and the last bit of jealousy in her heart dissipated, leaving only deep fear.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Shen Ninghua sitting on the soft couch with a pale face, the mother and daughter were startled, Xia Jingqiu hurriedly stepped forward: "Ninghua, what's wrong with you, aren't you okay in the morning?" ”

Shen Ninghua waved her hand to let Bai Wei, who was wiping her sweat, get out of the way, and said bluntly: "Auntie, I was calculated, and I almost lost my life, you should think about it in the past two days, but someone has done anything abnormal, or said something abnormal!" ”

Swept by Shen Ninghua's cold gaze, Yang Yingxue's heart trembled violently, and she said something unusual...... Isn't that what she knows? Thinking about it, he grabbed Xia Jingqiu's arm in a panic.

Xia Jingqiu glared at her and signaled her to be calm for a while, only to stop her flustered look.

Shen Ninghua took the looks of the two of them in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, turned his head and ordered Qingque and Hongling: "You go and open the door." ”

The closed door was pushed open, and the people standing outside hurriedly knelt down to say goodbye: "I've seen the princess." ”

Shen Ninghua didn't speak, just looked at the people who knelt on the ground with his eyes. She was sitting in the middle of the room, and the people were kneeling at the foot of the steps, so that with a slight glance, she could catch the expressions of all the people.

When she didn't speak, everyone didn't dare to move, and gradually some people couldn't support it, but they tried their best to maintain their movements, and they didn't dare to shake a little.

The silence slowly spread, and just when everyone felt the pressure around them and they began to have difficulty breathing, Shen Ninghua's cold voice finally sounded: "I was calculated today, and I almost lost my life." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people were suddenly shocked.

Shen Ninghua's voice became more and more cold: "You are the descendants of my Princess Zhaohua Mansion, and you should know very well that if I die, all of you present will be buried." No one wants to survive! ”

Shen Ninghua stood up, walked out of the door of the room step by step, and stood on the steps, his back was straight, without the slightest bend: "You have been serving me for a long time, and you know my rules if you want to come, as long as you do things steadfastly, I will not treat anyone badly, but I will be absolutely merciful if you cheat or betray the princess's mansion!" ”

Everyone listened to Shen Ninghua's words quietly, with different expressions on their faces.

Shen Ninghua's sharp gaze swept over everyone's faces, and the anger in his eyes was like lightning splitting the night sky, making people dare not look directly:

"I thought that after so many lessons, you should know the rules. I didn't expect that there would be people who dared to do something against the Lord! It is not an exaggeration to kill all of you with a rod! ”

"The slave (slave) doesn't dare, please ask the county lord to investigate!" Many people were frightened to the point of colorlessness, and they saw many people who were killed by the cane, and the cruel appearance made them go back for a few days and nights without sleeping well, and many people rested their minds, for fear that they would end up in that fate.

Shen Ninghua looked down at them condescendingly: "The thing I hate the most is betraying the master, as a subordinate, if I can't even do this most basic one, then I might as well just kill all of you with a rod, and then enter the palace to ask my father for another batch of minions!" ”

"The county lord spares his life!" Everyone was indignant in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to pull out the slaves who were in trouble and beat them to death, and their own lives were affected.

"Spare your life? Do any of you dare to count my life, and dare to beg me to spare it? Shen Ninghua turned around suddenly, the cold aura around him froze people's hearts, "I can tell you clearly, the person who calculated me must not be from one side, the jade pendant that Shen Linghan gave me is an introduction, there are definitely people in other places who do something, you think carefully, if anyone has behaved or looked abnormal recently, I will let you go back if you want to come out, if you can't think of it, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" Come! ”

There was a uniform sound of footsteps at the door, and a group of guards in armor and staff rushed in and surrounded the kneeling men. The black staff was held high above his head, as if he would be struck down in the next moment.

Shen Ninghua glanced around: "This is the personal guard that my father gave me after I became a princess, I didn't expect it to be used on you for the first time." Think about it carefully, if you can't think of it, then don't go out of this yard. With that, she turned and sat down on the soft couch in the room, waiting for the people in the courtyard to confess.

There was silence in the courtyard, and everyone was racking their brains to think about who had behaved abnormally lately, wishing that they would have two more brains so that they could remember everything that had happened these days.

Bizhu boiled the medicine according to Chen Yun's prescription, and carefully brought it to Shen Ninghua: "Miss, the medicine is ready." ”

Shen Ninghua carefully identified the medicinal materials in the bowl, and only after making sure that there was nothing unusual before he took it up and drank it all. Thinking of the previous calculation, she was also quite afraid in her heart, the person who started the calculation this time was too subtle, and almost let her die in a dream.

Shen Linghan gave her the jade pendant, she didn't have no suspicions, but after checking the jade pendant many times, she didn't find anything unusual, so she put down her mind and often played with it in her hand.

But she didn't expect that her momentary relaxation and carelessness actually allowed the medicine of the dream soul to successfully penetrate into her body. Dream soul is an extremely strange medicine, the medicine is the yin poison blood qi that is infiltrated on the jade pendant, and other predisposing factors are extremely uncertain, it may be a pot of flowers or a kind of grass, the inducements are strange, she has seen a lot of things in the past few days, if you don't know when to investigate a little bit, you just start from other aspects.

These subordinates have a large number of contacts, and it can be said that their relationship network can cover the entire princess's mansion, and starting with them is the easiest way.

She finished drinking the medicine, put the medicine bowl on the tray, and looked at the people coldly and said, "Why, no one has come up with it until now?" Looks like you're not going to get out of this yard......"

"No, princess, the slave maid remembered a little, it was Chunxiang who Rui Xitang was in charge of cleaning, she was originally in charge of cleaning the front yard, but she went to the backyard yesterday and stayed in the backyard for half an hour."

Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes: "Oh? And there is such a thing. ”

"No, princess, there is a reason why the slave and maid went to the backyard, because the slave and maid went to find Mama Wang in the backyard, and the slave and maid dragged Mama Wang to buy a little incense some time ago, and I happened to go to get it that day."

Shen Ninghua's eyes changed: "Incense? I remember that there was a rule in the house that maids were not allowed to use any spices without permission, right? ”

"Slave maid...... The slave maid ...... "The maid named Chunxiang immediately panicked, she was just because she had a sweetheart recently, and she was encouraged by others to think that the woman was the one who pleases herself, but she didn't expect it to lead to death, "The princess spares her life, the princess spares her life." ”

Without Shen Ninghua's orders, Qingque had already led people to search the courtyard where Chunxiang lived, and brought over a pair of spices that were almost unused.

Shen Ninghua pinched a piece and sniffed it slightly, her eyebrows immediately wrinkled, and a murderous aura flashed in her eyes: "Just buy a little incense, you don't take a look, can you afford this good spice worth at least 100 gold?" You are in charge of cleaning in my yard, and you think that you pay the most attention to the rules, and in the past two days, you suddenly remembered to buy incense, who was you bewitched? ”

"Slave maid...... The slave maid listened to what Xianglan in the same courtyard said, she said that using incense can be more tempting, and the slave maid was confused for a while and begged the princess to spare her life. ”

Shen Ninghua swept over one of the kneeling minions behind him, his face quickly turned pale, and he suddenly understood in his heart: "It seems that you have a sweetheart, and for him, I have put aside the rules I set, so that I can't be a wicked person who beats mandarin ducks, so I will fulfill you to be a pair of lovers, come to someone, take them down, and kill them immediately!" ”

"Yes!" The guard slammed the staff in his hand, and there was a thud on the ground, which shook the hearts of the people.

"The princess spares her life, the princess spares her life......"

This Chunxiang was bought by the Xiao family before, but seeing that she had not moved, she stayed because she might be useful later, but she didn't expect to be calculated by her.

This period of time has been smooth, and my heart is a little relaxed, if I really want to live well in this world, I still need 120,000 cautious and careful.

"Drag that Chunlan down, and the maid who reported Chunxiang just now can go."

"Yes, thank you, princess, thank you, princess!"

Seeing that reporting others can really live, the voice below suddenly became louder.

The people came and went, and the things they said became more and more detailed, and later, the words of the people were interspersed, and it was so detailed that it became clear who went to the toilet and how long it took to change clothes.

Chen Yun, who was hidden behind the screen, secretly admired in his heart, the princess's exquisite mind was really unmatched.

Chu Junyi raised the corners of his lips, and there was a sense of pride in his heart, Chen Yun didn't know, but he knew. When these subordinates were arranged, Shen Ninghua wasted a lot of effort to investigate everyone's background and temperament clearly, and after the arrangement, the subordinates in a courtyard are definitely in the form of mutual supervision and competition, and it is absolutely impossible to huddle together. In this way, I can understand the events of the past few days clearly after a little questioning today.

Shen Ninghua looked at the things sorted out in his hand, and his eyes were shining: "I really didn't expect that my little princess's mansion would hide the dragon and crouching tiger like this." She picked up a vermilion brush and circled the names of the people one by one.

"Pull all the people I circled down and guard them, and the others will go back."
