Shen Qingrong presided over the allocation of the house, and according to the convention, the best one was reserved for Mu Jingzhao, while Shen Qingrong and Liu Jinfu lived on the left and right sides of Mu Jingzhao's house respectively, followed by Jiang Ning.

Everyone went back to the house to rest, Jiangning had few things, and it didn't take much effort to clean up, and after cleaning up quickly, she pushed open the door of the house and observed, only to see that the doors of the neighbors on the left and right were closed.

Knowing that everyone was still cleaning up, she had nothing to do, so she took the folding willow, pushed open the door and walked out, wanting to walk around the yard at will.

Jiang Ning had only taken two steps out when he felt as if he had vaguely smelled a burst of paint.

In fact, this smell is also present in the house, and it is even stronger than the one outside the house.

It's just that Jiang Ning's nose hadn't recovered from the smell of corpses along the way at that time, and he was busy cleaning up the house, so naturally he didn't have so much mind to pay attention to the smell in the house.

And when she actually came out, the night breeze blew, which gradually awakened her mind and nose, and then she realized the unusual smell of this smell.

"Do you smell it?"

Zheliu snorted hard in response, "It seems to smell a hint of fresh lacquer." ”

After confirming that there was no problem with his nose, Jiang Ning looked left and right, and at this time, it was getting late, and the entire mansion was shrouded in dark blue night, and even the originally brightly colored exterior walls seemed to be covered with a dull veil.

At this time, Jiang Ning suddenly realized something.

When she came to this house today, she thought it was a little strange, because it was so new, and even the walls and pillars still had fresh lacquer prints.

And the house was lonely, and it didn't look like anyone had lived in it at all.

Jiang Ning looked left and right, while thinking casually, in fact, even if this house looks new, it is not surprising, after all, Shen Tong is in Kyoto most of the time, maybe he just bought a house here at random many years ago and put it here without time to live, and he has just finished recuperating recently, so he can't say.

Jiang Ning and Zheliu slowly walked along the path in the direction of the backyard, and occasionally a few subordinates with lanterns hurried by, but they did not salute.

Zheliu was annoyed, her eyes were fixed on the two maids who passed by, and she couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "What kind of attitude, I don't even salute when I see our mother." ”

Jiang Ning didn't think there was anything at first, but when she heard Zheliu's words, her eyes widened in some shock, this surprise was not to the two rude subordinates, but to Zheliu.

"You little girl, where do you have such a high heart."

Jiang Ning doesn't have much of a fight, and she usually fights with her subordinates, so she naturally doesn't care about trivial things such as whether others give her or not.

Seeing that she didn't care, Zheliu stomped her feet, a little anxious, she tugged Jiang Ning's arm, forced Jiang Ning to stop, and whispered a few words in Jiang Ning's ear in a low voice.

"Niangniang, this is Lord Shen's mansion."

"What happened to Lord Shen's mansion?"

Zheliu looked like she was almost stunned by her, "Lord Shen, it's the father of the queen's mother." ”

As soon as she said this, Jiang Ning instantly understood, now they are on the territory of the queen and Shen Tong, in the court, Shen Tong and Jiang Qingyuan are not very opposed, and in the harem, the queen has repeatedly put her in a trap.

Now on other people's territory, the attitude of every subordinate represents the queen and Shen Tong.

So, of course, this should not be taken lightly.

"The slave will go and come back to them."

Jiang Ning didn't care much about these etiquette things, plus she didn't like extravagance in her daily life, her clothes were simple and simple, and she didn't have any so-called royal bearing.

So others treat her as an ordinary maid, and she doesn't care very much.

She doesn't need all the bells and whistles to numb herself and gradually let herself forget who she really is.

She was about to stop it, but Zhiliu was in a hurry, and she broke away from Jiang Ning and walked towards the two little maids.

"Why didn't you salute when you saw our lady?!" Zheliu's attitude is not good, and her voice is not small, this voice caught the two little girls off guard, and they almost fell.

The two girls turned their heads and cautiously glanced at Jiang Ning behind them, looking apologetic.

Zheliu still wants to be unrelenting.

Jiang Ning was helpless, so he had to step forward in two steps and walked to Zheliu's side, "It's okay, let's go." ”

The two little girls turned around and left with relief, and only after taking two steps out did they turn around as if they suddenly thought of something, and they saluted Jiang Ning awkwardly before leaving.

"Mother, you can't do this." Zheliu looked helpless, "I really don't know where Lord Shen found these little girls, they can do it like this with a salute, like what?" ”

Jiang Ning was helpless, "We are here to deal with the rebellion this time, not a game, everything is based on Qingshui County." ”

Just as she was speaking, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a black figure on the roof not far away.

Although it was only a short moment, Jiang Ning was sure that he saw it, it was a figure.

With a look of surprise on her face, she walked in the direction where the shadow had disappeared.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Where are you going? ”

Zheliu and Jiang Ning ran one after the other to the place where they left not long ago.

It was getting late, and the candles were lit in the rooms, and the warm orange light reflected in the windows.

Jiang Ning walked under the eaves and slowly walked through the rooms.

Zheliu was originally puzzled by Jiang Ning's sudden change, but it can be seen that Jiang Ning is so serious and cautious, she no longer speaks, and follows her lightly following Jiang Ning's appearance.

In the candlelight, the human figure in the house could be faintly seen, and when Mu Jingzhao was in the house, she saw Mu Jingzhao sitting alone, as if he was drinking tea.

And in the next second, a figure that appeared out of nowhere appeared behind Mu Jingzhao out of thin air.

Jiang Ning's eyes widened in shock instantly, and she almost didn't have time to think about it, she instantly pushed open Mu Jingzhao's door, "Your Majesty!" ”

The moment the door opened, Mu Jingzhao and Lin Zheng behind him both looked at her with a little surprise on their faces

After a brief moment of surprise, Mu Jingzhao took the lead in speaking, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Jiang Ning looked at the two of them, she was a little embarrassed, and she stammered a little to explain, "I, I just saw Commander Lin's figure flashing, and I thought it was-"

There was a bit of a smile in Mu Jingzhao's eyes, and he nodded slightly, "It's okay, don't worry, ordinary assassins can't move me." ”

Jiang Ning nodded, and turned around to leave without further words.

Just as she was about to close the door, Mu Jingzhao suddenly stopped her, "Wait a minute, you come in, I have something important to do with you." (End of chapter)
