Chapter 24 Just Beginning

Yanyue Palace.

Little did Su Qingmo know that Su Xinsheng had already arranged her funeral arrangements. As soon as she was brought into Yanyue Palace, she saw three palace ladies kneeling on the ground, all with red eyes and trembling.

Several of them were maids who had touched Ning Keyao's outer robe. They lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe. They only hoped that after Su Qingmo's confession, the Queen would let them go.

"My little girl has met the Queen!" Su Qingmo said with a normal expression.

"Su Qingmo!" The queen's fingers were trembling with anger, and she wanted to cut Su Qingmo into pieces.

"You hate Chen'er for setting up a new concubine, so you attack my daughter!"

After hearing this, Su Qingmo was indifferent and said quietly: "My little girl has never harmed the fourth princess."

"No harm?" The queen said tremblingly: "Yao'er was poisoned, but the poison was found on the robe you wore, how dare you argue? I have to ask you to fight for your life today, life is worse than death! "

She gritted her teeth and said, "Someone, hang Su Qingmo up for me!"

The Sixth Prince's Mansion.

Ning Zhan was playing with the parrot in his mansion, obviously in a good mood.

Not long after, the housekeeper walked into the room and saw him playing with the parrot, and said helplessly: "Your Highness."

Ning Zhan put down his feathers and said with a smile: "Found them all?"

But the housekeeper looked confused: "Your Highness, these ten kinds of cloth are so hard to find."

"Oh?" Ning Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "Can't find it?"

The housekeeper shook his head and said: "The main reason is that there are too many kinds. Most cloth shops only have one or two kinds, and Qing Su Ling is not available yet."

The housekeeper paused and said hesitantly: "That's right."

"What is it?" Ning Zhan asked anxiously.

"It's true that Yi Xiufang has all ten kinds of products, but..." The housekeeper didn't dare to say any more in the middle of his sentence.

Ning Zhan said impatiently: "What's wrong? Yi embroidery workshop is Yi embroidery workshop, why not?"

Yi Embroidery Workshop is the cloth workshop of the Pei family, and the relationship between the Pei family and the prince...

Naturally, the housekeeper does not dare to make arbitrary decisions.

He bit the bullet and said, "But if you buy it at Pei's house, wouldn't His Highness the Crown Prince know that you are interested in Miss Su?"

Unexpectedly, Ning Zhan laughed and said: "So what? I just like Su Qingmo, and I want to marry Su Qingmo! Ning Lichen threw away the pearls and picked up the fish eyes, who can blame me? I'm not afraid of that. he knows!"

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment. He had no idea that His Highness would have such an attitude. How could this look like he was trying to win over Ning Guogong? Rather like.
  I really have a crush on Miss Su!

Nodding dullly, the housekeeper said, "Then the old slave will do it."

"Go, go," Ning Zhan waved his hand and continued to tease the parrot with a smile.

into the night.

Within the imperial city, there is the Liuli Palace.

A palace maid hurriedly walked into the main room, carefully closed the door, and said respectfully: "Princess, Yanyue Palace is sealed tightly. No one is allowed to enter or exit, but..."

The palace maid whispered: "A woman was covered in blood, and she didn't know whether she was dead or alive. She was dragged out of Yanyue Palace!"

The bloody appearance makes people tremble with fear, which shows how much torture he suffered in Yanyue Palace.

"Can you see her face clearly?" Ning Yilan took a step forward.

"No," the palace maid shook her head and said, "I really don't dare to come close, but looking at my clothes, I am sure that he is definitely not from the palace!"

Ning Yilan smiled after hearing this.

No need to think about it, it must be Su Qingmo!
  Both the stolen goods and the poison were found in Su Qingmo's room. How could the queen let her go?

"Where's the charcoal fire?" Ning Yilan asked again.

After the accident, the Queen sent people to the House of Internal Affairs three times to get charcoal fire, naturally to keep Ning Keyao warm.

"Back to the princess, the queen has not sent anyone to get charcoal for a long time," the maid replied truthfully.

Ning Yilan smiled even more after hearing this.

The sturgeon mustard poison will freeze you to death within four hours. Counting the seconds...

Ning Keyao is already dead!

Of course there is no need for charcoal fire!
  "Hahaha!"

Even if the father finds out the truth, now that she is the only princess in Yanning, how can the father punish her!
  In a few days, she will marry Beiqi and become Beiqi's queen!

Ning Yilan looked proud, sat down slowly and said, "Go to Yanyue Palace and stay overnight. If anything unusual happens, report it immediately!"

"Yes, princess", Cai Yi responded and left.

Day two.

Caiyi came and went to report early in the morning, and Yanyue Palace was quiet all night, as if nothing had happened. It was just that people were guarding it inside and outside, so that not even a fly could fly in.

"Princess, there has been no movement in Yanyue Palace until now. Could it be that the Queen," Cai Yi asked doubtfully, "isn't she ready to mourn the fourth princess?"

Ning Yilan sneered and said: "Oh, at this time of mourning, Ning Lichen's position as crown prince may be lost!"

If Ning Keyao's death is announced to the world now, it will be telling the world that she, Ning Yilan, will marry Beiqi, then...
  The court will definitely favor the emperor brother one-sidedly!
  Ning Lichen's years of hard work may be destroyed in one day!

Ning Yilan sneered and said: "The queen will only try her best to block the news now, and the day she can hide it is a day! How can she still dare to announce her funeral?"

Cai Yi suddenly realized it and said happily: "Congratulations to the fifth princess, congratulations to the fifth princess. The princess and Qin Beiqi must bring their slaves with them!"

Ning Yilan smiled and said: "You girl, when has this princess ever treated you badly?"

Caiyi immediately knelt down and said with a smile: "Thank you sir, I should say thank you to the queen!"

Ning Yilan's smile grew even stronger after hearing this, her eyes full of anticipation and pride.

Prime Minister's House.

Su Xinba stayed up all night.

It wasn't until daybreak that she relaxed a little. Su Qingmo hadn't returned home yet, which meant...

He was 'kept' in the palace by the queen!
  Although Ning Keyao was dead, how could His Highness and the Queen watch helplessly as Ning Yilan went to get married?

When…

If Ning Yilan has three strengths and two weaknesses, no one in the world will know what she has done!

She will definitely regain His Highness's favor!
  The ferocity in Su Xin's eyes flashed away, and her gaze became firmer.

at the same time.

The Sixth Prince's Mansion.

‘Dong dong dong’, there was a knock on the door of the Sixth Prince’s Mansion. When the housekeeper opened the door, he saw a maid, but she frowned slightly.

I saw a long scar on this little maid's face, and her originally delicate and lovely appearance became a bit scary.

"Did you knock on the door?" The steward asked, "Do you know where this is?"

Jin Xia smiled and said, "Of course I know! Could you please turn to Your Highness the Sixth Prince, are all the fabrics for my lady ready?"

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned sideways and said, "Are you Miss Su's maid?"

This person is Jin Xia.

Su Qingmo confessed many things before entering the palace. Although Jinxia didn't know how the young lady was doing in the palace, she still wanted to do everything she told her well.

"My lady asked me to send a message to His Highness the Sixth Highness. I wonder if it would be convenient for His Highness?" Jin Xia asked.

"Wait a moment!" The housekeeper knew that His Highness cared about Su Qingmo very much, so he quickly turned around and ran to report it. Not long after, he came back quickly and said, "Come with me."

But she secretly thought, Su Qingmo didn't know what he was capable of, and he dared to let a maid come to see His Highness!
  And what about His Highness?

I'm not upset at all, I actually take it seriously!
  At this time, Ning Zhan was sitting in the room. He was actually a little happy when he learned that Su Qingmo sent someone here.

Come to think of it, Su Qingmo cared about him very much!

In just a moment, Jinxia walked in with the housekeeper.

"This slave has met His Highness Sixth Prince."

Hearing the hoarse voice, Ning Zhan raised his head and looked at Jinxia, ​​but he didn't show much expression. Apparently he didn't care about the scars on her face.

"No need to be polite, what do you want Miss Su to tell me?" There was a hint of hope in her tone.

Who knows…

"My lady said that she doesn't like those fabrics anymore, and just wants a white jade bracelet with a plainer and simpler style." Jin Xia said calmly: "My lady also said that she is not in a hurry and will give it to her later. But, she is waiting for His Highness!"

The housekeeper stood aside and almost got angry to death after hearing this!

Is this Miss Su playing a trick on His Highness? !
  He had just sent people to transport the one hundred pieces of cloth back to his home, and it took up half of the warehouse!
  Now Miss Su says no?
  No more!
  Not to mention such a quick change of face, isn't it too courageous? !

But who knows, Ning Zhan was not angry at all, but said: "Okay! I know this, go back and tell your lady, and I will definitely find a simple and elegant high-quality mutton-fat jade bracelet for her!"

Jin Xia was secretly surprised after hearing this. The young lady told her that Ning Zhan would not be angry, but she still refused to believe it. But now it seems that this guy is really not angry at all!

"Then thank you so much, Your Highness! I will take my leave!"

After Jinxia came out of the Sixth Prince's Mansion with a smile on her face, she turned around and walked away.
  Xiao Mansion!

People from the Xiao Mansion...

But he is no longer so good-tempered!
  A man opened the door and his eyes turned cold after seeing Jin Xia.

"Is something wrong?"

That voice and attitude simply said...

Get out!

Jin Xia's heart trembled.

Is there no butler in the Xiao Mansion? The person who opened the door.
  How like a secret guard!

After calming down for a moment, Jin Xia said, "Excuse me, please tell Mr. Xiao that Miss Su needs to see you for something!"

Unexpectedly, the man said: "No matter who you are, leave immediately, otherwise."

Jin Xia suddenly took a step back.

This man has a strong murderous intention, and his martial arts... seems to be terrifyingly high!
  Knowing that the young lady's instructions cannot be delayed, Jin Xia gritted her teeth and said coldly: "If you insist on refusing to reply, I will have to go to Qingfeng Restaurant to wait for Mr. Xiao!"

After hearing this, the man narrowed his eyes and finally looked at Jin Xia seriously. After a moment, he said: "Wait!"

After leaving this word, he turned around and left.

Jinxia looked at the open door, hesitated for a moment, then raised her feet and walked in carefully.

The interior of Xiao's mansion was very simple, and there were not many decorations or vegetation in the courtyard, which was inconsistent with Xiao Muyao's status as 'His Majesty's celebrity'. After Jinxia entered, she felt a chill all over her body. Just standing at the door, she felt Not one step further.

Although she was not sure, she always felt that there were hidden guards around her, and she was afraid that if she took one step closer, someone would take action!
  Just when she was secretly shocked, she saw the man coming back.

"Girl please!"

After hearing this, Jinxia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Following the man into the lobby, he saw Xiao Muyao waiting for him with a smile.

"The slave girl just came out of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, but it was not as frightening as the one in Master Xiao's Mansion!" Jin Xia gritted her teeth.

"Hahaha!" Xiao Muyao burst out laughing after hearing this, and said, "I'm sure my words are true, Miss Jinxia is very skilled in martial arts, so my secret guards must be more careful when they see you!"

Jinxia's heart moved. The secret guard of the Xiao Mansion took a clear look at her, which showed her deep inner strength. The young lady was right, this Xiao Muyao was indeed not simple!
  It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, Jin Xia said: "I came here today to ask for something. I wonder if Mr. Xiao can help me!"

At night, the palace.

At this time, Ning Lichen was in the East Palace.

"what?"

Ning Lichen raised his eyes to look at the secret guard and said coldly: "Lao Liu's people brought back a hundred pieces of brocade cloth from Yixiu Workshop?"

"Exactly!" the secret guard replied.

Ning Lichen frowned.

What does Lao Liu need a hundred bolts of brocade cloth for?

Taking a step back and thinking, even if he really wanted to buy brocade cloth, why would he need Feiqiyi Embroidery Workshop?
  It is impossible for Ning Zhan not to know about the relationship between the Pei family and himself!
  "Can you tell what's wrong with those pieces of cloth?" Ning Lichen asked thoughtfully.

The secret guard shook his head and said: "It doesn't look like much on the surface..."

Ning Lichen lowered his eyes and said to himself: "In other words, we don't know whether there is anything inside."

"Pei Mansion. Ning Zhan" Ning Lichen thought coldly.

Ning Zhan wants a hundred pieces of cloth for no reason?
  Moreover, if he doesn’t go to so many cloth workshops in the capital, he will definitely go to the Pei family cloth workshop that is related to him!
  Ning Lichen wouldn't believe it even if he said there was no problem!

"If those pieces of cloth are mixed with other things"

Thinking of something, Ning Lichen suddenly showed his murderous intention.

Is it
  That old fox Pei Pingqiu has become resentful of Pei Zhuo because of what happened to him, and is ready to take advantage of him and find another supporter!
  Ning Zhan bought a hundred pieces of cloth at Yi Embroidery Shop, there was no way Pei Pingqiu didn't know about it! But he didn’t inform himself…

There is obviously a problem!

Pei Pingqiu, Pei Pingqiu! What an old fox!
  Thinking like this, Ning Lichen's expression became more and more gloomy.

In fact, Ning Lichen really wronged Pei Pingqiu, and he really didn't know about it!

Yi Embroidery Workshop is only one of the Pei family's properties, and it's not the most profitable, so naturally he can't keep an eye on it all the time.

That day, the shopkeeper of Yi Embroidery Shop saw a big business coming in. The customer paid the money and said he would send someone to pick it up. He was so happy!

As for who the guest is and which house he belongs to, how can he care about it?
  Naturally, he would not deliberately tell Pei Pingqiu.

At the moment, Ning Zhan had no idea that Ning Lichen would think about it like this when he bought a hundred pieces of cloth.

These days, he has been very leisurely and leisurely. He just wants to wait for Beiqi's people to arrive and watch the two royal brothers perform a dog-eat-dog show, and he himself...

They are all over the capital looking for a white jade bracelet for Su Qingmo!

Thinking about it, if Ning Lichen knew about it, he would be angry to death.

Three days later.

People in the court this morning were in panic. Even Xiao Muyao went to court, not for any other reason, just because the envoy from the north came to Beijing today!
  Led by the prince, Xiao Muyao, Su Yuanhe, and Yuncheng, the Minister of Rites, went out of the city to greet him. After everything was prepared, Emperor Yanning's expression became better.

But at this juncture...

Xiao Muyao suddenly impeached Yangzhou Xuanfu envoy Liu Shen!

Liu Shen bumped into Liu Shen at this troubled time. Emperor Yan Ning was naturally furious. With a wave of his hand, he directly ordered his death.

Everyone was secretly frightened when they saw this. Sure enough, if this plague god opens his mouth, someone will die!
  These ministers were all glad that Xiao Muyao was not the one impeaching them. It was as if they had saved their lives.

Until the next court, on the long steps, Ning Lichen suddenly said to Xiao Muyao: "Master Xiao, please stay!"

 It can be seen from the fabric that Su Qingmo has made a plan. Don't be anxious, little cuties. ^_^ Then I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the cuties who are reading "Uncle Master". It is a bit hard to code, but you are really helpful. good!
