Chapter 282
Zi Ning thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid Dongfang Jiaoyue is just a pawn to be used. She will be poisoned. The other party's purpose is definitely not as simple as wanting her life, otherwise she can be killed with a single knife. Why bother so much. Kang Mi's coming to Xichi Country to ask for marriage is definitely not a temporary idea, so it seems that the murderer is going to deal with it, I am afraid it is you and me."

"Oh?" Jun Yeli's eyes suddenly sharpened, "The murderer's purpose is to take advantage of Dongfang Jiaoyue's death to provoke a war between Xichi Kingdom and Kangmi Kingdom, so as to reap the benefits of fishermen?"

"It's not impossible!" Zi Ning nodded, and said with a sneer, "To inflict the poison of 'Bi Luo Huang Quan', it must be uninterrupted for seven consecutive days, and it cannot be done without close people. As clueless as you imagined?"

Jun Yeli pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right, let's go, let's go to the posthouse."

Generally speaking, it is easier to find out when things just happened, so Zi Ning had no objection, and the two of them did not delay, and ordered Xiyue to take good care of Dongfang Jiaoyue, and then changed into night clothes, taking advantage of nightfall At that time, I quietly went to the post house.

Since Dongfang Jiaoyue came to Xichi Country, she has been living in the posthouse with her elder brother, so if the murderer wants to poison her, he must do it here.This is the largest post house in the capital city, built in a grand and luxurious way, next to the avenue, surrounded by high walls, gatehouses, post buildings, halls, etc. There are all kinds of trees in the hall, because it is the cold winter season, the leaves have fallen , The bare branches shivered in the cold wind, adding a little sense of depression.

After the two sneaked into the post house, they first searched secretly, determined where Dongfang Aoyue and Dongfang Jiaoyue lived, and went there quietly.

Looking around, no one noticed the movement here, Zi Ning gestured to Jun Yeli, then raised her arms and flew up, hooked her feet under the eaves, hung her body upside down, and looked in through the gap in the window.

Jun Yeli was secretly amused that she would have such a bold move, so he flew onto the roof, carefully removed a brick, and watched from above.

Dongfang Aoyue was pacing back and forth in the room with an anxious expression, presumably because she was worried about Dongfang Jiaoyue in every possible way, but there was nothing she could do.

After a while, a guard knocked on the door and came in to report, "Third prince, Si Ling came to ask if the princess has returned."

Si Ling is Dongfang Jiaoyue's personal girl brought from the middle school. She didn't see the princess all day today, and she was told that the princess went out to play.But it was getting dark, and she was worried, so she came to ask.

Dongfang Aoyue slapped the table and said angrily, "My sister, Bengong doesn't know how to take care of her, don't ask her!"

The bodyguard was as restrained as a cicada, and Wei Wei backed out quietly, and smiled wryly at Si Ling who was waiting outside the door, "Come on, Miss Si Ling, the Three Emperors chatted very irritable today, maybe something happened. You go back first, don't ask."

"But the princess—" Si Ling became anxious, her little face flushed.

"The third prince is the princess's real brother. If the princess has something to do, can the third prince ignore it?" The guard pushed her away, "Go back, I guess the princess is just playing, and I will be back tomorrow." Bar."

Siling had no choice but to go back first.

Zi Ning pondered for a while, and instinctively felt that there must be something wrong with this maid, so she signaled Jun Yeli to watch over here, and she went over to have a look.

Jun Yeli pulled off the mask and mouthed to her: Be careful.

She nodded, indicating she understood, then went down the eaves, followed Siling all the way to the place where the servants lived behind, saw her enter a room, and followed her.

"How is it, is the princess back?" Another woman's voice came from the room, also full of anxiety and worry.

Si Ling shook her head, "No, the Third Prince seems to be angry, so I don't dare to ask more questions."

"Angry?" The previous woman expressed surprise, "Although I have only been with him for a short time, I can tell that the third prince is gentle by nature and rarely gets angry. Is there something serious going on?"

Soon?That is to say, this woman is not from Kang Miguo?Zi Ning suddenly became suspicious, she leaned over her body as before, and looked inside carefully.

The woman next to the table is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with two braids and a very ordinary appearance. At first glance, she looks ordinary, but Zi Ning has seen countless people, but she can see the brilliance in her eyes Circulation is definitely deliberately concealing something.

"That's not to say!" Si Ling had a bitter face, also very puzzled, "I don't know what happened to the third prince, and the princess is not coming back, so I'm worried to death!"

The woman pondered for a while, then smiled slightly, "Si Ling, don't worry, the third prince must know it well, just wait and see. But, it's a pity, I made the princess's favorite dish, and it should be tasteless tomorrow How about you give it a face and eat it?"

Si Ling immediately became happy, "It's what I wish for! Sister Xirui, the princess keeps praising you for your craftsmanship, and I haven't had the blessing to try it yet."

Xirui smiled embarrassedly, "If it's that serious, it's because the princess doesn't dislike my clumsy hands, so she just keeps me by her side and gives me a bite of food. Well, you wait, I'll serve the dishes."

"it is good!"

Xirui smiled, turned around and came out, her expression suddenly became a little cold, and she went in a certain direction.

There is absolutely something wrong with this woman.With her keen intuition trained for so many years, Zi Ning knew that this woman must have concealed everything from everyone, and seeing that she walked with a flexible figure and light steps, she clearly knew martial arts, but she had to pretend that she knew nothing about it. It looks like you don't know, it's strange that you don't have a purpose.

She followed quietly and saw that she had indeed entered the kitchen, and several dishes of delicate dishes were placed on the table in front of the stove. She suddenly sneered silently, took out a small paper bag from her sleeve, opened it, and sprinkled some white powder inside. go up.

Zi Ning frowned, puzzled for a moment: If this person poisoned Dongfang Jiaoyue to blame Jun Yeli and anger Kang Miguo, but now that the princess is not here, why did she poison Si Ling?
Could it be that she had already guessed that it was Dongfang Jiaoyue who was poisoned, so she did nothing but poison all these people to death, so as to prevent future troubles forever?
After dispensing the medicine, Xirui put the food on the tray as if nothing had happened, picked it up and left.

Zi Ning rolled her eyes, turned around and went back quickly. Before Xirui came back, she turned over from the window and entered the room. Before Si Ling could scream out, she pointed at her sleeping point, and then led her to jump out the window. The whole movement It was done in one go, and it took no more than three seconds, which really belonged to her.

Xirui entered the room with the dishes, but Si Ling was gone, she frowned and called, "Si Ling? Si Ling?"

No one answered, she put down the tray, went out to look around, called a few times, but there was no one, she said to herself, "Where are you going? Didn't you say you want to eat? Siling?"
