At night, the palace, which had been extremely noisy during the day, was now completely silent! Except for the occasional maid who walked by with a lamp, there were only guards watching the night!
The sound of its armor, as fast as the wind, seemed unusually heavy and solemn in the quiet night!
"Tonight, I'll just put in the hard work for Sister Xiyue! I'll come back to you in the morning!"
Caixing walked to the door of Ningshuang Palace and said loudly into the palace.
"My dear sister, go in peace! My mother is here with me!"
In the hall, Xiyue's response came.
Then, Cai Xing led the palace maid with him and left first.
Late at night, a sneaky figure appeared at the door of Ningshuang Palace!
The palace maid who was guarding the night at the entrance of Ningshuang Palace noticed some movement and immediately shouted vigilantly: "Who is it? Who is there?"
The figure paused and said nothing! Just when the palace maid was about to step forward to investigate, another figure came to deceive her! Seeing this figure, he raised his palm and struck at the back of the palace maid's neck! The movement was so fast that the maid on night duty didn't even have time to say a word! He fell to the ground!
"Is she dead?"
A female voice asked.
"I don't care whether she dies or not! Let's get down to business!"
A male voice replied.
Neither of them glanced at the palace maid who fell to the ground. Then he tiptoed towards the Ningshuang Palace!
In the Ningshuang Palace, there were a few meager candles. Because someone came in and brought in a gust of wind, the candle flickered a few times and was almost extinguished.
"Lan'er, but you came in?"
Xiyue's voice came from the inner room.
Seeing no one answered, Xiyue didn't ask any more questions and lay on the bedside of Xin Wan Ning, drowsily asleep. She didn't even seem to notice the two figures sneaking in!
At this moment, a figure flashed behind Xiyue, and the shining dagger reflected on Xiyue's seemingly closed eyes!
Seeing that the dagger was about to approach Xiyue, at this moment, a figure quickly passed by and quickly pulled Xiyue into his arms! With that dagger, he pierced the air!
"who?"
Xiyue said this to the masked man and woman in front of her.
The two masked people said nothing, only stared at Xiyue fiercely! Obviously, they didn't expect that Xiyue didn't sleep to death! Not only that, what they didn't expect was that there was actually a young man hiding in this inner room!
"The majestic Princess of Xingyue Kingdom actually has a husband hidden in the palace. If outsiders find out...hehehe..."
The masked man at the head stared at Xiyue with a somewhat malicious look!
Yun Kai raised his eyebrows, noncommittal. He released Xiyue from his arms, drew his sword and stabbed the masked man!
The masked man couldn't dodge, so Yun Kai took off his mask with a few moves!
"Commander Shen? How could it be you?!"
Xiyue's eyes were full of incredulity! And the person she calls Commander Shen is the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, Shen Wulai!
"Why can't it be me?"
Commander Shen glanced at Xiyue with a half-smile. It was as if I heard a big joke!
"What about her? Who is she?"
Xiyue glanced at the masked woman and continued to ask.
"What do you think?"
The masked woman took off her hijab slowly! As expected, it was Xin Wanrong!
"My aunt really... really impressed me! During the day, she even put on a show, but now she doesn't show off at all!"
Xiyue glanced at Xin Wanrong and mocked.
Xin Wanrong didn't defend herself, she just raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Xiyue coldly. She was not here to rekindle old friendship with Xiyue.
"Do you think that this young boy can deal with us?"
Commander Shen glanced at Yun Kai, who was raising his sword, and immediately sneered.
"Whether I can deal with you or not is not up to you."
Yun Kai
He raised his sword and struck at Commander Shen's face, leaving him no room to breathe.
Yun Kai's swordsmanship is sharp and his moves are crisp and clear, with no flaws! After being hit, Shen Wulai could only draw his sword to defend and retreat step by step!
Seeing Shen Wulai being forced back by Yun Kai, Xin Wanrong became anxious. She couldn't care less, so she grabbed the dagger and ran towards Xin Wan Ning's bed!
Seeing this, Xiyue picked up the candlestick next to her and threw it towards Xin Wanrong!
"boom"!
The candlestick was impartial and hit Xin Wanrong on the head! The scarlet blood immediately dripped down Xin Wanrong's head!
"Plop!"
Xin Wanrong only had time to close her eyes and saw Xin Wanning open her eyes!
Seeing Xin Wanrong fall, Shen Wulai was obviously panicked. His sword was gradually blocked, and there was no resistance anymore!
After a burst of sword flashes, Shen Wulai also knelt down under Yun Kai's sword!
"Someone is coming!"
Xiyue shouted towards the door. Not long after, several guards rushed in. After the guards escorted Shen Wulai down! Xin Wan Ning just stood up silently while carrying everyone on her back! She looked at Xin Wanrong lying on the ground and sighed secretly.
"Xiyue, please ask the imperial doctor!"
After all, Xin Wan Ning still wanted to save her nominal sister one last time.
"Mother Queen, she just wanted to kill you!"
Xiyue couldn't figure out why Xin Wanrong wanted to kill her mother, her own mother, but still wanted to save her!
"Go! Call for the imperial doctor!"
Xin Wan Ning didn't explain anything else. She just waved her hand tiredly towards Xi Yue and motioned for her to ask for the imperial doctor!
Xiyue stamped her feet angrily, and finally had no choice but to call for an imperial physician!
The next day, news came out in the palace that Mrs. Xin stabbed the Queen with a knife and was captured instead!
The news reached Chu Aotian's mansion as quickly as possible. When Chu Aotian received the news, he almost didn't get angry to death!
"What an idiot! At this time, you are still dreaming about things that don't belong to you!"
Chu Aotian was about to cry because of Xin Wanrong's stupidity! If he had known that she had such thoughts, he should not have sent her to the palace yesterday!
When I received the news, Aunt Yan was helping in the kitchen. She didn't pay attention and almost cut off her finger! She looked at her half-cut nails and was really angry and anxious!
"Auntie, be careful! Fortunately, I didn't cut my finger!"
Seeing this, the cook on the side quickly pulled Aunt Yan aside and said she wouldn't let her help!
"Why is our wife so confused? Your Majesty forgives her and still allows her to live a life of prosperity and wealth, but she insists on being stubborn again and again! This is good, but if not, everyone in our house will be Have to be..."
A maid who was helping complained with a sad face.
"What do you know?! Do you allow a bitch like you to talk nonsense about the master's affairs?"
Aunt Yan on the side heard this and immediately scolded the maid severely.
"You know, you know best! When the time comes, if you want to be fined, copied, or beheaded, it's all up to you!"
The maid replied, not to be outdone.
Aunt Yan was so angry that she was about to hit someone, but at this moment, Chu Aotian came over!
"Prepare a table for lunch, something more respectable, we have distinguished guests coming!"
Chu Aotian came to the kitchen in person and said this. It is conceivable that those who come at noon must be rich or noble! Maybe, we can also find out some news about the palace!
Thinking of this, Aunt Yan forced herself to calm down, and then she steeled herself to help in the kitchen!
At noon, several... distinguished guests came to Chu Aotian's house!
"Master Chu's mansion, it's really refreshing to come back!"
The girl at the head glanced around briefly, then smiled and joked!
"Miss Bai is joking!"
Chu Aotian replied with a smile.
That's right, the "distinguished guests" Chu Aotian calls are Bai Yanqing and the others!
"I'm here to bother Mr. Chu today. Actually, I want to discuss something with you about Madam Ling!"
After Bai Yanqing found the figure that satisfied her in an inconspicuous place in the corner of the hall, she continued to speak.
"Miss Bai, if you have something to say, you might as well say it!"
Regarding Xin Wanrong's matter, Chu Aotian didn't want to take care of it, but he had to take care of it! After all, they are still husband and wife now, and they are one body. They both prosper and suffer. Chu Aotian still understands this truth!
So, Bai Yanqing explained clearly and clearly how Xin Wanrong, together with the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army Shen Wulai, assassinated Her Majesty the Queen last night in front of everyone in the room!
Of course, Bai Yanqing also said that Xin Wanrong was injured and fell unconscious!
"What? My wife was seriously injured?"
As soon as they heard that Xin Wanrong was injured, some people couldn't wait to jump out!
"Back off! Do you understand the rules?"
Chu Aotian looked at Aunt Yan who jumped out, his face showed displeasure, and he scolded her. Or maybe, because Chu Aotian doesn't like Xin Wanrong, he also doesn't like Aunt Yan who is beside Xin Wanrong!
Even though Aunt Yan showed reluctance, she still had to bow down and step aside!
Bai Yanqing looked calm, as if she glanced at Aunt Yan inadvertently! The worry on his face doesn't look like he's pretending!
In comparison, Chu Aotian is indeed much calmer! He only showed a little surprise when he first heard it, and then he didn't express any more!
"Today, we are mainly entrusted by Caixing to come to the mansion to send a message! Let's see, Mr. Chu, do you want to take Mrs. Xin back to the mansion to raise her, or... follow your majesty's wishes and stay in the palace to wait and see?"
Bai Yanqing's words seemed to be asking Chu Aotian for his wishes, but in fact... they were hinting to Chu Aotian that His Majesty wanted to keep someone!
It's just that Bai Yanqing's words are rounder and look better!
I don't know if Chu Aotian understood the meaning of Bai Yanqing's words, but he definitely didn't want Xin Wanrong to go back to the house to trouble him again! So, without even thinking about it, he directly rejected the proposal to let Xin Wanrong return home!
"My lord! Don't let your wife stay in the palace!"
As expected, Aunt Yan saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her!
"The aunt in Mr. Chu's house is... quite concerned about Mrs. Xin!"
Bai Yanqing looked at Aunt Yan, as if she was anxious for something, then smiled and joked aloud.
"I don't know, I thought Mrs. Xin and this aunt had something to do with each other!"
"Nonsense! Back off!"
Chu Aotian scolded again! He had long disliked Aunt Yan, but at this moment, she still didn't know what to do, so she came out to mess with him again and again!
As a servant, Aunt Yan really has too much control!
Bai Yanqing looked on coldly, and then Yun Qi, who was standing next to him, looked at each other and smiled!
Obviously, everything is under Bai Yanqing's control!
"The chef in Mr. Chu's house cooks really good food!"
After the meal, Bai Yanqing wiped her mouth and praised.
"If Miss Bai likes it, just come over when you have time!"
Chu Aotian waved his hand and said with a smile. He didn't look worried at all on his face!
It seems that the relationship between Chu Aotian and Xin Wanrong is indeed worse than what the outside world reports!
"My little girl feels guilty for having a meal with Master Chu in vain. If you don't mind it, you can go to the tea shop to make up for it! Our Lingyu's cooking is getting better and better now!"
Bai Yanqing replied with a smile. She can be considered... an adult beauty!
"Is it really possible?"
Chu Aotian's eyes lit up, and it seemed that he was also looking forward to it!
"sure!"
Bai Yanqing smiled and nodded.
It can be seen that Chu Aotian is particularly concerned about Ling Yu and his son. It can be seen from his different reactions when he heard about Xin Wanrong and Lingyu!
After Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi said goodbye, they quietly ordered someone to go to the palace and deliver a letter to Cai Xing. There must be another good show in the palace tonight!
"His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is still in the palace!"
Bai Yanqing suddenly remembered that Yun Kai was still in the palace! Immediately slap the head!
"Nothing, just let fifth brother stay! Just get used to it and it will be fine!"
Yunqi said something ambiguous.
Bai Yanqing glanced at Yun Qi suspiciously. She always felt that she seemed to...miss something!
