Daughter of a High Sect: Abandoned Concubine Reborn

Chapter 350 The Death of Concubine Ning
"Fifth Prince, something happened again???????" A guard ran over in a hurry, with a panicked look on his face.

"What's wrong?" After recovering from his own thoughts, Xuanyuan Jingyi's heart beat uneasy, and a bad premonition came to his heart.

"Ms. Ning??????? is dead." The guard's words made Xuanyuan Jingyi feel like thunder was hitting him, and he couldn't help but took a few steps back.

First he was a court lady, now he is a concubine. Today he is fully responsible for the people entering and exiting the birthday banquet and the safety of the palace. What kind of punishment he will face is another story. I am afraid that his mother and concubine will be implicated.

"Fifth brother, what's the matter?" Sensing the abnormality here, Xuanyuan Jincheng ran over, and saw Xuanyuan Jingyi's face was so dark and frightening.

"What happened?" Seeing Xuanyuan Jingyi standing there silently, not answering his own words, Xuanyuan Jincheng could only turn his attention to the guard who came to report.

"Ms. Ning is dead." The guard repeated what he said just now, and his expression was inevitably worried.

Compared with Xuanyuan Jingyi, Xuanyuan Jincheng was much calmer. Although he was also very surprised by the news, he calmed himself down in just a moment.

"Fifth brother, I'm going to check the situation over there now. You stay here, and you have to keep your spirits up. Maybe the enemy is in the crowd." Xuanyuan Jincheng glanced around, There was no sign of suspiciousness in the crowd, but it was hard to let people take it lightly.

"No, you stay here, I'll go to Concubine Ning." Xuanyuan Jingyi finally managed to digest the matter, and the soldiers came to cover them up, so how could he be a deserter.

Seeing his firm expression, Xuanyuan Jincheng could only nod his head in agreement, "Okay, be careful in everything."

As soon as the words fell, Xuanyuan Jingyi turned around and left with the guards who came to report.

After passing through a dark path, they came to Concubine Ning's palace, and before entering the door, he heard the crying sound coming from the room.

When he walked in, he found that there were several court ladies who were serving Concubine Ning, they were kneeling on the ground, Concubine Ning was lying in a pool of blood, her eyes were wide open, and she was dying.

"When did Concubine Ning come back?" It stands to reason that at this time, all the concubines should be in the backyard.

"Go back to the Fifth Prince, it will only be a quarter of an hour for the empress to come back." It was the maid who was closest to Concubine Ning who answered, Xuanyuan Jingyi gave her a sideways look, but did not linger on her too much.

He checked Concubine Ning's wound, the bruise on her forehead was caused by a blunt weapon, but the fatal blow was on her heart, which seemed to be caused by a sharp weapon, and now there is still a steady stream of blood lying there.

"Why did she come back, and how did you find out that she was dead?" Xuanyuan Jingyi continued to ask without raising his head. During this period, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about all possibilities.

"Your Majesty said she was not feeling well, so she asked her servants to accompany her back. After she came back, her servants went to fetch water for her to wash up. After she came back, she asked her to ???????" As she spoke, the voice of the little maid began to choke again. More than that, Xuanyuan Jingyi felt inexplicably annoyed when he heard the crying that filled the room.

"My servant heard that there was also a murder case at the dry well tonight, could there be an assassin—" Wiping away her tears, the little maid couldn't help but added.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Jingyi looked up at her carefully, and the little maid quickly buried her head down again.

Xuanyuan Jingyi couldn't see the little maid's expression clearly, only saw her shoulders twitching, and occasionally sobbing a few times, very sad.

"I don't know whether it's the assassins who got in, or there are people with ulterior motives hiding in the palace, but I will definitely investigate this matter." Xuanyuan Jingyi stood up slowly, with deep eyes.

"Fifth Prince, please give our mother justice." The little maid saluted, and buried her head even lower, almost to the ground.

"Come on, you stay here and watch. I'll go around to see if there are any clues left by the murderer." Xuanyuan Jingyi ordered the guards following behind him, and went to the inner room by himself.

The little maid on the ground watched the pair of boots in her eyes gradually walk away, and the sound of her footsteps finally gradually became lighter, then she slowly raised her head and looked at the direction Xuanyuan Jingyi walked.

There was a flicker of panic in her eyes, but no one noticed.

At this time, there was a noise at the door.

"Eldest Prince, please stay -"

"Why, he Xuanyuan Jingyi can go in, but I can't?"

"Eldest prince, the fifth prince is handling official business inside, please??????"

"Presumptuous! Who do you think you are, dare to stop me, get out of the way!"

Hearing the movement outside the hall, Xuanyuan Jingyi came out from the inside, his eyes inadvertently skipped the little maid who had just answered the question, and then landed outside the hall.

"Eldest Prince—don't embarrass your subordinates—"

The voices of the guards and Xuanyuan Ye arguing at the door were endless, Xuanyuan Jingyi frowned tightly and strode out.

"Okay, fifth brother, what are you doing here, you need someone to let you out." Xuanyuan Ye looked at Xuanyuan Jingyi contemptuously, his words were obscure, and people couldn't help but think about it.

Xuanyuan Jingyi was too lazy to entangle with him, and said with a cold face, "Hmph, brother, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, and I don't need to report to you."

"It's my duty to have adultery with my father's concubine!" Xuanyuan Ye said with dirty words, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"You—" Xuanyuan Jingyi was angry, and looked at Xuanyuan Ye who was full of nonsense with a livid face.

"If I hadn't done something shady, how could I be afraid of me going in?" Xuanyuan Ye was so aggressive that the guards at the side couldn't help crying out for Xuanyuan Jingyi.

But Xuanyuan Jingyi specifically explained that before the banquet is over, don't disturb other people. After the banquet is over, he will report to the emperor himself.

"Okay, I'll go and tell my father right now, let him see clearly that you are a rebellious son!" Xuanyuan Ye looked a little smug, cast a contemptuous glance at Xuanyuan Jingyi, and left with a flick of his sleeve.

"Fifth Prince, look at this—" Seeing Xuanyuan Ye's figure drifting away, the guard looked at Xuanyuan Jingyi worriedly, and Xuanyuan Jingyi looked into the distance with resentment, his eyes already bloodshot.

He closed his eyes deeply, only to feel that there was a huge stone in his heart, and it was almost too heavy for him to breathe.

Sure enough, Xuanyuan Ye said he could do it, and it was only a matter of a cup of tea, and Xuanyuan Qiche came over.

When that smear of bright yellow came into his sight, Xuanyuan Jingyi felt as if something was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

"Yi'er, what's going on." Xuanyuan Qiche didn't bring any followers, only Xuanyuan Ye went with him.

Xuanyuan Ye looked at Xuanyuan Jingyi contemptuously, and wanted to say something, but Xuanyuan Qiche waved his hand to signal him to keep silent, and retreated unwillingly, but Xuanyuan Jingyi slowly knelt down.

"My son let my father down—" Xuanyuan Jingyi's voice was a little hoarse.

"What the hell is it, get up quickly." Xuanyuan Qiche would never believe that Xuanyuan Jingyi would do what Xuanyuan Ye said, but he felt faintly that something was about to happen.

"Concubine Ning, she's dead." Xuanyuan Jingyi said those words that were worth a thousand dollars in a daze, then raised his head gently, carefully observing Xuanyuan Qiche's reaction.

Concubine Ning is Xuanyuan Qiche's favorite concubine, Xuanyuan Jingyi thought that this incident would be a huge blow to Xuanyi Qiche.

Xuanyuan Ye's expression paused, the matter was not what he thought, could it be that Xuanyuan Jingyi killed people to silence him?He looked at Xuanyuan Jingyi suspiciously, with a complicated expression, as if he was thinking about something.

Xuanyuan Qiche's expression paused and slowly sank, but he did not get angry.

"I'll go in and have a look." Xuanyuan Jingyi was a little surprised by Xuanyuan Qiche's unexpected reaction, he turned around and followed in, but saw Xuanyuan Qiche squatting beside Ning Concubine's corpse with a calm expression, as if in deep thought, but There is no sadness at all.

"Father—" Xuanyuan Jingyi called out suspiciously, Xuanyuan Qiche raised his head and took a look at Xuanyuan Jingyi.

"Apart from Concubine Ning's matter, did anything else happen?" Xuanyuan Qiche stared straight at Xuanyuan Jingyi with deep eyes, and Xuanyuan Jingyi had no choice but to tell the story of the untimely death of the maid beside the dry well.

"My son didn't hide it intentionally, it's just that the emperor's grandmother has just recovered from a serious illness, so she must not be provoked any more." Xuanyuan Jingyi suddenly knelt down in front of Xuanyuan Qiche and said.
