Chapter 206
"My lord, my maidservant went to ask. The second lady did tell the master in the Ning Mansion. I heard that the master didn't agree at first, but I don't know what the second lady said to the master. Later, the master agreed. He said that he would let the fifth lady tomorrow Follow." Xinyue said what she had found out.

The last time Ning Shuangyu came to the palace to make trouble, she said that she asked Ning Erlan to accompany her to the temple to burn incense, and bless her to conceive a royal heir as soon as possible.Ning Erlan was afraid that she would play tricks, so she refused immediately. When she was dragged out, she even shouted that she would go to Ning Caixin.Ning Erlan thought she was just trying to threaten her, but she didn't expect her to actually go.

"Princess, do you want to stop it?" Xinyue looked at the silent Ning Erlan and asked.

Ning Erlan shook her head. "The princess was rejected by me last time when she came to the concubine, and now rumors about me being unkind and ungrateful have been spread outside. If I stop Caixin from going, I will give her even more ground to talk about." It's non-stop.

"But will Miss Fifth go with me..." After all, Ning Shuangyu has so many "convictions", so if she really did something, wouldn't Miss Fifth be very dangerous?

"Since she wants me to go no matter what, I'll go and see what she wants to do." Ning Erlan's eyes dimmed. If Ning Shuangyu really dared to play tricks again, then she would definitely not do it this time. Let her go.

"The servant girl will go with the princess."

"No need, just let that girl Xinchen accompany me. You will take good care of me in the palace. I'm more assured that you are more stable than her."

"Yes, slaves will definitely not let people take advantage of them."

Early the next morning, Ning Erlan came to wait outside the Ning Mansion.Sure enough, half an hour later, I saw a carriage driving here.

"Xinchen, go down and see if it's the second lady's car. If it is, tell her what I explained today."

"Yes."

Xinchen got out of the car to look, and found that it was indeed Ning Shuangyu's car. After Xinchen told her that Ning Erlan would accompany her to the temple, Ning Shuangyu agreed and did not go to the mansion to look for Ning Caixin.

"Thank you, Princess, for making it happen." Ning Shuangyu even went to the carriage and made a big gift.

"It's getting late, let's hurry up and set off."

"Yes Yes."

The two people's carriage drove all the way to the outside of the city gate.What Ning Shuangyu was going to was the Songzi Guanyin Temple outside the city. It was half an hour's walk from the city gate, and there was still a section of the road that he had to walk by himself, and the carriage could not get up at all.

"It's really troublesome for the princess to walk with me." Ning Shuangyu said and stepped forward to support her, with a sincere and grateful smile on her face.

"Don't bother my sister, let Xinchen help me." Ning Shuangyu's weak appearance should not cause her to fall with her for a while!
The summer is gradually passing, but the leaves on the mountain show no sign of withering. The road on the mountain is not so much a road as it is a trail, which was artificially walked out.

It is not yet noon, and the sun is not too big, but after walking for a quarter of an hour, Ning Erlan still feels that her body is hot and uncomfortable.It seems that I haven't exercised for too long, and my body is much weaker.

Going further up, you can feel a cool breath rushing towards you, very cool, completely different from the dry heat just now.

Ning Erlan's body lacked exercise, and after Ning Erlan's arrival, she walked around more or less.But Ning Shuangyu was different, she almost collapsed from exhaustion before reaching the halfway up the mountain, how could she still walk?

Ning Erlan felt really uncomfortable seeing her half-dead appearance, so she raised her voice and said, "Let's rest for a while while it's still early."

"No, no, third sister, let's go quickly, so as not to delay the time later." Unexpectedly, Ning Shuangyu refused repeatedly.

So far Ning Erlan didn't say any more, turned around and continued walking.The two walked for another half an hour and finally arrived at the Songzi Guanyin Temple.

The Songzi Avalokitesvara Temple is actually not very big, and the incense is not too prosperous compared to other temples, so when they arrived, they only saw a few people burning incense in the temple.

"Third Sister, let's go in quickly, the time is coming soon." Ning Shuangyu walked into the temple as she spoke, and Ning Erlan followed after seeing no one around.

The little nun in the temple spread two small futons for them and knelt on them, and Ning Shuangyu threw two copper coins into a row and hung them around Ning Erlan's waist.

Ning Erlan wanted to refuse at first, but she thought that she would just hang it up for a while and then take it down, so she didn't think too much about letting her go.

After burning the incense, Ning Shuangyu asked Ning Erlan to take some "holy water" and sprinkle it on her body, and said a few words of blessing, and it was over.

"Both benefactors, it's already noon now. The poor nun has prepared a fast meal for you. Please go with the poor nun to eat the fast meal and go back when the sun is at its peak." Said to the two of them.Ning Erlan saw that it was indeed rather hot outside, so she readily agreed.

"Third sister, I heard that the scenery on the back mountain is very good. I want to go to see it later. If you are tired, you can rest in the temple. I will be back in a while." After lunch, Ning Shuangyu After looking at the sky outside, he said.

Ning Erlan frowned invisibly, and couldn't help remembering what happened last time.But this time she didn't let herself go up the mountain with her, but why did she go here by herself?
"Go ahead, just be more careful." Ning Erlan gave a few words of advice, but Ning Erlan ignored her, feeling sleepy for a while, and asked Xinchen to help her go to the guest room of the temple to rest.

When he woke up, the sun had gradually set.Ning Erlan opened her eyes dimly and frowned.In the past, she would not nap for so long, why did she sleep until this hour today.

"Princess, you're awake." Xinchen heard the movement and walked in.

"Well, where is Second Miss?"

"Second Miss hasn't come back yet."

"Didn't you come back?" Ning Erlan's eyes narrowed slightly. With Ning Shuangyu's physical strength, she was exhausted in less than half an hour. How could it take so long to see the scenery of the back mountain?

"Send someone to look for it. It's not too early. If you find it, go back."

"Yes, the servant will go here."

Xinchen went to find a nun who was familiar with the mountain roads, followed the coachman and a little maid brought by Ning Shuangyu to the mountain to look for her, but after half an hour, she was still nowhere to be found.

Xinchen hurriedly ran back to the temple to report to Ning Erlan.

"Can't find it? Did you go back early? You first ask the coachman she brought back to see if she left first. The rest of the people continue to search in the mountains."

"Yes, Wangfei, please don't go out, it's getting dark now, I'm afraid it's not safe to go to the mountain."

"Well, go quickly."

Several people went up the mountain and couldn't find it. After the host found out, he sent more people to look for it.The sky was gradually shrouded in darkness, and the frowns of those looking for it became tighter and tighter.

The coachman who went back to Bianjing to check did not find any trace of Ning Shuangyu. Originally, this matter was nothing to the heat of Xuanming Palace. In their eyes, Ning Shuangyu was just a concubine who was not on the table. .

But when Wei Ziming just came back, he didn't care at all, but after knowing that Ning Erlan went with Ning Shuangyu, he personally took people to the mountain to look for it.

"I found it, I found it, the concubine found the second lady..." Until seven or eight o'clock in the evening, Xinchen finally ran down from the mountain, her face was covered with sweat, and her face looked a little pale.

Ning Erlan didn't go anywhere, she just waited in the house, waiting for news.

"It's good if you find it. Where did you find it?" Ning Erlan finally exhaled. She was originally on the mountain with her, and she couldn't tell if something happened.

"Wangfei, but Wangfei..." Xinchen glanced at Ning Erlan in embarrassment, hesitating and speechless.

Ning Erlan brought up the breath she had just exhaled, and a bad premonition rose in her heart. "But what?"

"But what they found was, yes, the body of Second Miss...Second Miss, she died..."

"What?" Ning Erlan stood up in surprise.Looking at Xinchen, she didn't know what to say for a while.

"The body was found by a small stream..."

"Drown?"

"Yes, the people brought by the second prince found it. The second prince has already gone down the mountain."

Ning Erlan nodded. "Go out and see what's going on."

As soon as Ning Erlan came out here, the people on the other side had already come down the mountain.Walking in the front was Wei Ziming in a navy blue robe.

Ning Erlan stepped forward and gave Wei Wei a blessing. "Second brother."

Wei Ziming's face darkened, he was no longer as gentle as before, looked at Ning Erlan and asked in a calm voice: "Does the princess know what's going on? Why does this nice person..."

There was a sad look in Wei Ziming's eyes, as if he loved Ning Shuangyu very much in the past.

"My concubine didn't know that when I came here with my second sister today, I wanted to rest for a while before going back after lunch, but the second sister said that I wanted to go for a walk on the mountain. At that time, my concubine felt dizzy and took a rest. I didn't know until later. The second sister disappeared." Ning Erlan said the matter calmly.This matter has nothing to do with her, but it is not impossible for someone with a heart to talk about it and want to discredit her.

"Shuangyu didn't drown, but was strangled." Wei Ziming looked into her clear eyes and said.

"Strangled?" Ning Erlan couldn't believe it. How could someone strangle Ning Shuangyu?
"I don't know if you can let me see the dead body of the second sister?"

"Princess, that's very unlucky, you must not go there." Xinchen stepped forward and pulled Ning Erlan back to prevent her from going forward.

Ning Erlan patted her hand, indicating that she was fine, then walked to the stretcher and lifted the white cloth on it.Ning Shuangyu's corpse was lying on it safely. If he didn't know that the person lying on it was a dead person, it would really look like he was asleep.
