Chapter 427 The atmosphere is very good

After handing the jade stone face to Guard Zhang and receiving his promise, Ning Muqing did not dare to delay and quickly returned along the original route.

Not long after, Ning Muqing returned to the palace and saw the eldest princess still lying quietly in the middle of the rockery. Ning Muqing breathed a sigh of relief.

The next step is to hope that we can make it in time.

Ning Muqing was not familiar with the harem. She didn't even know which palace Concubine Chen lived in, nor how long it would take for someone to arrive after she received the news.

But Ning Muqing had a feeling that Concubine Chen was a smart person.

She must be able to establish a firm foothold in the harem without attracting attention, and she must have some skills.

The mutton-fat white jade headband worn on the eldest princess's head is a jewelry that she likes to wear very much. Ning Muqing has noticed it many times from a distance. It is the iconic thing of the eldest princess.

Ning Muqing used the help of Guard Zhang to deliver the head and face to Concubine Chen, without saying much about the information revealed.

However, Concubine Chen cares about her daughter and will definitely send someone to inquire about the situation. She will let her most trusted confidants do this kind of thing.

There are hidden murderous intentions everywhere in the palace, and those who do things must be cautious and leak-proof.

Ning Muqing fully believed that Concubine Chen could do this. After all, the matter related to her biological daughter. Concubine Chen would never act rashly until she understood the specific situation.

A stick of incense.

Ning Muqing felt that it would only take one stick of incense at most.

If there is still no one from Concubine Chen, Ning Muqing can only think of other ways. If there is any minor problem, she cannot be blamed.

she……

It’s considered a best effort.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Ning Muqing did not wait at the same place. She seized the time and opportunity to avoid the maids walking around the palace, surveyed the surrounding terrain clearly, and made second-hand preparations.

It turns out.

Concubine Chen cared more about her daughter than Ning Muqing imagined.

In less than a moment of burning the incense, Ning Muqing heard Concubine Chen's loud voice.

"Concubine Chen has arrived——"

The eunuch's shrill voice came from far away from Chenxing Palace, attracting the attention of all nearby servants.

Originally, Concubine Chen was at the banquet, but she left in the middle of the banquet, saying she was exhausted. Now she came back again for no apparent reason.

Concubine Shu quickly received the news and responded.

Afterwards, he sent his confidants to greet Concubine Chen at the door, and respectfully invited Concubine Chen and her party into Chenxing Palace.

There was so much movement in Chenxing Palace.

Ning Muqing's already remote side palace seemed even more deserted.

Not long after, a fast-footed palace maid came quickly from a distance and arrived near the back door of the palace where Ning Muqing was. Before entering, the palace lady carefully looked around, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she found no one.

When Ning Muqing saw Concubine Chen's waistband specially exposed on the palace maid, she walked out of the rockery and said, "Here!"

The palace maid came over, looked at Ning Muqing calmly and said, "Is this Princess Ning?"

Ning Muqing nodded.

The palace maid then stretched out her hand, holding the mutton-fat white jade that Ning Muqing gave to Guard Zhang. She asked vigilantly, "This slave is following the order of Concubine Chen. May I ask Concubine Ning why our eldest princess's head and face meet?" In your hands?"

"Why didn't Concubine Chen come over?"

Ning Muqing did not answer the palace maid's question but asked instead.

The palace maid said, "Your Majesty, I will go to Chenxing Palace first to make up a gift for the Imperial Concubine."

Ning Muqing understood.

Concubine Chen had no intention of coming back since she left the birthday banquet. She was just going through the motions. Now she suddenly came out of the palace. She obviously saw this thing and realized that something must have happened to the eldest princess.

However, out of etiquette, Concubine Chen should visit Concubine Su first.

Now that Concubine Chen is here, there should be no problem with the identity of this palace maid.

Ning Muqing had just heard the announcement that Concubine Chen was coming. She lowered her voice and quickly recounted what had happened before.

The palace maid was shocked after hearing this. She was a little angry and immediately asked, "Where is our eldest princess now?"

"The eldest princess is in a very bad situation right now." Ning Muqing briefly explained the situation and then said, "You'd better think of a way to take the eldest princess back without alerting other people."

After hearing what Ning Muqing said, the palace maid immediately understood the seriousness of this matter. If the news leaked and others knew about it, she would be afraid that it would damage the honor of the eldest princess. The best way is not to deal with Tan Lin and others, but to pick up the eldest princess safely first.

As long as people and gods get out of this matter without knowing it, no matter what happens next, they will be able to adapt accordingly.

The fact that the palace maid was able to come over meant that she was Concubine Chen's confidant, both in terms of ability and IQ. She quickly asked about the specific location of the eldest princess, thanked Ning Muqing, and then left in a hurry.

With Concubine Chen taking over the matter, Ning Muqing could quickly send away the time bomb that was the eldest princess, and everyone became much more relaxed.

Next, Ning Muqing's task is to find out who is behind this bureau.

Ning Muqing turned around and walked towards Chenxing Palace.

She was absolutely certain that the mastermind behind this incident must still be at the banquet, and according to Tan Lin's explanation, this man was inextricably related to the Queen.

So who is the person working in the palace now?

Ning Muqing and the eldest princess are both the targets of each other's calculations, which means that the other party must have a conflict of interest with himself and Concubine Chen, and this conflict is not small, otherwise the other party would not come up with such a vicious plan to harm people. people.

For Ning Muqing, the mastermind behind the scenes must have wanted her life.

But for the eldest princess, the other party seemed to want to ruin her reputation and make her life worse than death.

Ning Muqing stopped and thought about this matter seriously.

She wondered why there was such a difference.

There are many people in the palace who have enmity with her in the capital, but at the same time, there seems to be no one who wants to harm the eldest princess.

Unless the opponent wants to hit Concubine Chen accurately.

So who is deliberately trying to harm Concubine Chen?

The palace is so turbulent that it's really hard to judge.

Except the queen...

There is another person.

The figures of two people flashed in Ning Muqing's mind, and a cold light filled her eyes.

If this person is her, no matter in terms of identity, means or the timing she can create, she can be said to be very satisfied.

but……

How did she convince Mrs. Zuo to set up this line for her?

Is it because of Zuo Ziyue?

Zuo Ziyue didn't show up for so long that Ning Muqing almost forgot about Zuo Ziyue.

She remembered that when Zuo Ziyue first entered Jingzhao Mansion, Mrs. Zuo often went to Prince Ning's Mansion to intercede for Zuo Ziyue, but was kicked out by Chu Lixuan.

Zuo Ziyue seemed to have had a very strong suitor before.

What's her name?

Ning Muqing only remembered that the relationship between the other party and the queen was very good!

Standing in the darkness of Chenxing Palace, Ning Muqing listened to the bustling sound of silk and bamboo in Chenxing Palace from a distance, and her mind was rapidly thinking about today's thoughts.

After a while, Ning Muqing found the birth date and medicine powder packet hidden in her clothes, put them in her sleeves, and then walked to Chenxing Palace as if nothing had happened.

Although the person currently on duty at Chenxing Palace was Concubine Shu, he still knew Ning Muqing. When he saw Ning Muqing approaching, he quickly bent down to salute and respectfully opened the door for Ning Muqing.

As soon as I entered the banquet venue, a steady warm air hit my face along with the aroma of wine.

As soon as Ning Muqing walked in, she heard Concubine Shu's voice saying, "Isn't Sister Chen Concubine exhausted? Why did she come back to the palace for a while and give her another gift? I thought you were Aren’t you coming back?”

Concubine Chen said with a smile, "I originally left the venue early because I was not feeling well. I accidentally contracted the wind and cold last night. I was afraid that the illness would be passed on to my mother by then, so I left the venue on the grounds of lack of physical strength and then consulted the imperial doctor." I saw it and said it was fine, so I dared to come here again. My mother-in-law’s birthday is only one day a year, and as a concubine, I must spend it with my mother-in-law."

"It's such a big happy event, and I also want to feel the atmosphere. It's just that there was a misunderstanding in the middle and I left. Please don't blame me and my sister!"

Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu were very neither humble nor overbearing when they talked.

Ning Muqing listened to their conversation and walked over calmly.

Walking around the screen across the door, Ning Muqing stood in the dark and observed everyone at the banquet.

Concubine Su is sitting on the main seat with a smile on her face. Concubine Shu is now sitting on the side main seat, and next to her, slightly lower, sits the gentle and smiling Concubine Chen.

Mrs. Su has always been kind, and the two of them were chatting and laughing, and they seemed to have a harmonious atmosphere.
