The palace of Xining County in winter is extremely deserted.

When you go inside, you don't see the purple and red, only the ancient trees towering to the sky. Although the weather is cold, the leaves are withering, but the branches are bent and elongated, and they still cover the sky and the sun, revealing the cold and majesty everywhere.

There is a family member standing beside him, his body is straight, and his eyes are looking straight ahead. There are fewer maids in the back house, there are many mothers-in-law, and there are also small maids walking, all with straight backs and tight bodies, and no one dares to have the slightest slackness and relaxation.

This place is not like a royal mansion, but more like a huge military general's mansion, and the killing is fierce. Even the subordinates were as meticulous as the soldiers.

Therefore, Jia Xuan, who was strolling around at this time, seemed particularly out of place.

She smiled quietly and her posture was leisurely and elegant, walking in the huge palace, like a gentle spring breeze blowing across the icy lake, attracting many people to come and see secretly.

It was not the princess who came to greet her, but the king of Xining himself.

The man was burly and majestic, and when he saw her, he laughed loudly and said, "Miss Xuan is so big, but this king refuses to come over without personally sending someone to invite her." Her eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and her eyes were like cold blades scraping against her.

Jia Xuan smiled lightly: "Why didn't I know that the prince had invited me before?" If so, please tell me which one. ”

Jin Ge laughed, and the laughter soared into the sky, making everyone standing in the room silent. But no matter how nervous they were, they didn't dare to bend their backs, and they still stood upright, but their faces became paler, and some of them had lips trembling with fear.

Jin Ge looked at Jia Xuan: "I don't believe in Miss Yixuan's intelligence, and I can't guess that Jingzhao Mansion went to follow my will before." He said, "If you guessed that it was me, why didn't you come?" ”

Jia Xuan curled the corners of his lips, feeling that there was no need to go around in circles with this person, and said bluntly: "Even if you guess it, you can't come." Not to mention that the relationship between the two families is average, it is not appropriate for a girl to rush to the palace. Besides, there is a person under the prince who is the shopkeeper of the gambling house, and their guys have cheated my Hong family uncle a lot of silver taels, and I haven't settled accounts with him yet. ”

She didn't plan to hide it, and she didn't need to.

In the future, she will definitely have contacts with the Xining County Palace, and the connection between the Jinxiang Marquis Mansion is even more inseparable. She has to smooth out this relationship, otherwise she will be difficult to do on both sides.

What's more, this matter will not pose much of a threat to the Xining County Palace, so she will use this to ask for directions, and see how the Xining County King treats this matter, so as to see what kind of person he is.

It's good to know what kind of way of doing things she should apply in this mansion recently.

The girl's voice was soft and soft, easily dissolving the sharp atmosphere in the room, making the surrounding air no longer stagnant, and the people in the room were not so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

Jin Ge stared at her coldly.

Jia Xuan smiled.

After a while, Jin Ge slapped the arm of the chair suddenly: "What gambling house?" What silver? How I don't know. As he spoke, the tiger's eyes shot around, obviously wanting the people around him to give him a reasonable answer.

Those people were already nervous, who would dare to speak easily? One by one, fine cries oozed from his forehead, and his lips were silent.

Jia Xuan saw that Jin Ge's puzzled look did not seem to be fake, and thought about describing the location of the gambling house in general, but he didn't mention it much, and only said: "I also heard that the shopkeeper has something to do with your mansion, but I don't know if it's true or not." ”

Jin Ge waved his hand and said coldly: "Go check." ”

The man who guarded the door quickly retreated, and did as he was told.

At this time, the frightened voice of the young man sounded in the distance in the courtyard: "Father! Father! Oh no! One of the housekeepers is starting to have convulsions! I can't get better, should he ......"

The boy burst in, screaming and rushing into the house, and suddenly found the girl sitting next to him, and the shouting stopped abruptly, and his footsteps stopped suddenly.

He is the same age as Feng Ziying, and he is about the same height. It's just that Feng Ziying's figure is thin and straight, and the young man in front of him is even stronger, and his thick arms are very powerful at a glance.

"This is a dog, you can just call him a little chop." Jin Ge introduced himself to the guest, and glared at his son angrily: "Stinky boy, the guest is here, and you can't make a mistake." ”

After Jin Qi's initial amazement, he remembered the reason for coming over just now, became nervous again, and said eagerly: "This time it was a kid from the concierge who was sick, and he usually didn't turn around too much, he only greeted the guests outside, and never ran around." Something happened to him! ”

Jia Xuan took the opportunity to ask him: "Have people ever had such convulsions like this before?" ”

"yes." Jin Qi slapped his thigh, and his eyes were red with anxiety: "There are two of the little guys around me like this, and two of them died." Seven or eight of the guards in the house had convulsions, and three died. A maid and a mother-in-law in the inner house are also like this, they are not dead, but they can't get up from the bed. And my third brother...... He—he's been in bed for a long time, and he's not going to be able to do it! ”

Speaking of relatives, Rao is young man has a firm heart and can't help but have red eyes. After being scolded by his father, he sniffed, but he didn't let the tears fall: "My third brother has been lying on the bed since he had convulsions. The second brother often takes care of him by his side, and now he is fine. ”

Jia Xuan didn't expect that so many people in the palace had encountered accidents, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that someone poisoned it?" Has the prince ever examined it carefully? ”

Jin Qi immediately said: "I have checked!" No! ”

Jin Ge squinted over.

Jin Qi knew that he shouldn't steal the words, so he didn't turn his face and kept silent.

"Naturally, I have checked it. I led the troops into battle, and I also encountered incidents of enemy poisoning, so I naturally dare not underestimate such a thing. Jin Ge would not give his son a face in front of the guests, and secretly thought that he would look for him later, and then took the initiative to say to the girl: "Not only the doctors from all walks of life, but also the imperial doctors in the palace have also taken turns to invite them over." All kinds of places have been checked, even the water that everyone drinks every day, they have also been checked, and no signs of poisoning have been found, so I invited Miss Xuan to come over. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Ge paused slightly, and said frankly: "I won't tell you, only those people in Jingzhao Mansion recommended you, saying that you are smart and intelligent, I will not seriously consider inviting you here." It is still the imperial doctors who mention you and say that they can't look at Hong Shuren and other nobles from all walks of life who don't say it clearly, all rely on your blessing to live in the mansion for a while. That's when I thought about it, and asked you to stay at home. ”

Jia Xuan didn't expect the king of Xining County to be such a person. It's not the same as what Tu Jin said, and it's not the same as what she usually hears. Perhaps because there is no antagonistic relationship between her and the king of Xining, the king of the county does not reject her too much.

Now that the other party said sincerely, she said bluntly: "Since this is the case, please let me take a look at these sick people first." ”
