The princess of Huanghuo loves farming

Chapter 60

There are still three days left in the investigation period given by the old emperor to the prince.

In the side hall of Jingning Palace, Concubine Ning was lying on her side on a soft bed covered with soft fox fur, with a calculating light in her eyes.

She would like to see how this prince of the East Palace, who can't be supported by the mud, has the ability to find out the truth about the Xu family's murder!

"Your Majesty, would you like some sandalwood today?" The one who asked the question was Madam Cheng from Jingning Palace, a confidant of Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning's beautiful eyes blinked slightly, and her tone was somewhat disgusted: "Come on."

"Yes, ma'am." Madam Cheng took the sandalwood, lit it and put it in the incense burner on the table.

This sandalwood is specially made, and infertility medicinal materials are added to it. Whenever the emperor turns over the sign of Jingning Palace, this kind of sandalwood will be lit in Jingning Palace.

In the huge Jingning Palace, only Concubine Ning and Nanny Cheng knew the inside story.

Today, Eunuch Mo did not come to Jingning Palace to inform that the emperor was coming, but during the past two months, the emperor would often come to Jingning Palace without flipping the sign, that's why Madam Cheng asked this question.

The aroma of specially made sandalwood soon filled the entire Jingning Palace, and Madam Cheng's expression was dull.

Concubine Ning Guifei felt a little sleepy, so she lay down her exquisite body softly, planning to take a nap.

The Jingning Palace was completely silent. Everyone knew that when the imperial concubine was sleeping, there should be no sound in the Jingning Palace.

Otherwise, the usually noble and elegant imperial concubine would be awakened, angry, and bruised with a whip.

However, this time, the silence in Jingning Palace did not last long.

A grey-robed man with a dull expression appeared in the side hall of the imperial concubine of Jingning Palace.

After he knocked Cheng Nai unconscious with a knife in his hand, he dodged to the front of Concubine Ning's limp body at an extremely fast speed, and an extremely cold dagger lay across Concubine Ning's delicate neck.

Concubine Ning was startled awake, her eyes full of anger turned into deep shock after seeing the stranger in front of her.

"Don't move, or I'll kill you!" the gray-robed man lowered his voice and threatened coldly.

Ning Guifei thought about it in her heart, and smiled sweetly: "I just don't move."

She could see that the gray-robed man had no killing intent in his eyes, presumably... he had something to do with her, right?
"Let's make a deal." The tone of the gray-robed man sounded very calm, but if he looked carefully, he could detect a trace of eagerness.

Concubine Ning turned her beautiful eyes, and said with a light smile: "What can you give me, tell me."

She didn't ask the gray-robed man what he wanted from her, since he came to her and explained what he wanted, she would definitely give it.

Heh, now she is equivalent to the lord of the harem, and the emperor obeys her, so what can she not give?

The point is, what can this gray-robed man give her?

In this world, there are not many things that interest her...

"Prefect Xu, he is my righteous brother." The gray-robed man sneered, observing Concubine Ning's reaction.

Concubine Ning's heart sank, what did he mention Xu Xiaolian?
"Oh, so what?" She remained calm, unwilling to show her cards first.

"How?" The gray-robed man was numb for a moment, and sighed: "I don't want revenge, I just want you to let those two children go, and I will keep this secret forever."

"What's the secret?" Ning Guifei's eyes flickered, and there was already a strong murderous intent in her heart.

The gray-robed man looked at her and said slowly: "What is the relationship between Concubine Cheng and you, and why you caused the fire in Qiancheng Palace? My righteous brother has already told me."

Concubine Ning gritted her silver teeth, that old fox Xu Xiaolian really left a clue!

It's just that he didn't record it in a book, but told his foster brother!

snort!He thought that his righteous brother, with his high martial arts skills, could blackmail her?
"As long as you let my righteous brother's two children go, I will never tell about this matter." The gray robe said humanely.

Concubine Ning looked at him with squinted eyes, and after a long, long time, she chuckled lightly, and the branches of her smile trembled wildly.

She winked and said with a coquettish smile: "This deal is fairly fair, but... I just agreed when I asked you to stay in Jingning Palace for one night, what do you think?"

The gray-robed man was stunned for a moment, and then he said dumbly, "I... can't speak humanely."

This time, it was Concubine Ning's turn to be startled.

But she quickly came to her senses, and said with some regret: "That's a pity, I think you are very pleasing to the eyes! In this case...you have a drink with Ben Gong, and Ben Gong will make this deal with you. Is it okay?"

The gray-robed man's eyes became alert all of a sudden: "You want to poison?"

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Concubine Ning Guifei laughed three times as if she heard some big joke.

With a disdainful glance, she sneered: "If I want to kill you, is it worth using poison? I just need to pretend to agree to you, and shout 'catch the assassin' when you leave, and you will be killed by the palace immediately." The guards shot them into honeycomb eyes with bows and arrows!"

The gray-robed man was stunned, and said: "That's true."

Concubine Ning looked at his expression, and after pushing away the gleaming dagger in front of her with her fingers, she slowly got up, walked to the table and started pouring wine.

During the whole process, the gray-robed man kept staring at her hands without looking away.

Concubine Ning Guifei poured a glass of wine, picked it up with her slender fingers, turned around and looked at the gray-robed man with winking eyes: "Come here."

The gray-robed man hesitated for a moment, and walked over slowly, but when he walked in front of Concubine Ning, he didn't take the wine glass to drink.

"You, you are even more timid than a woman in this palace." Concubine Ning sneered, and said again: "That's all, I will help you drink half a glass, lest you be suspicious."

After finishing speaking, she lightly moved the wine glass to her lips, and slowly sipped half of the glass before handing it to the gray-robed man in front of her.

"How is it? Now you should drink it with peace of mind, right?" She smiled lightly beside the face of the gray-robed man.

The gray-robed man finally took the wine glass, but held a small silver needle in his left hand, inserted it into the wine glass and stirred it.

"It's really timid as a mouse." Concubine Ning giggled when she saw this, her well-maintained and radiant face flashed an imperceptible venomousness.

"One has to be careful in the rivers and lakes." Seeing that the silver needle hadn't changed color, the man in gray robe seemed relieved and explained his behavior.

But seeing Concubine Ning still had a sneer on her face, the gray-robed man raised his head and drank the remaining half glass of wine.

The gray-robed man brightened his empty wine glass and said, "Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied, since this is the case, I will make this deal with you." Concubine Ning's eyes flashed brightly.

"Then thank you very much, I will take my leave." Until now, the gray-robed man finally showed a little smile on his face.

Seeing the back of the gray-robed man turning away, Concubine Ning Guifei had a strange expression, and said two words very slowly: "No..."

After the gray-robed man left completely, Concubine Ning picked up the jug on the table and poured it on the unconscious Madam Cheng.

"Cough...cough..." Madam Cheng gradually woke up, and when she saw the vicious Concubine Ning, she hurriedly got up from the ground.

Without caring to wipe off the wine stains on her face, she kowtowed to admit her mistake: "Your servant deserves to die, my servant deserves to die, my servant..."

"Okay!" Concubine Ning waved her hand impatiently, "Hurry up and find the fourth prince, and tell me that I have something very urgent."

"Yes, ma'am, the maidservant will go right away." Madam Cheng got up quickly and hurriedly walked outside Jingning Palace.

Concubine Ning rubbed the center of her eyebrows, thinking that although her sleep was interrupted this time, she had a serious problem, and she would not pay for it.

Turning around and returning to the couch, she sat down against the railing, quietly waiting for her son's arrival.

Soon, the fourth prince came to Jingning Palace.

"Prince, hurry up and sit here. Concubine Mother has something important to tell you to do." Seeing the fourth prince, Concubine Ning's expression softened a bit.

The fourth prince cast a cold glance at Madam Cheng, who hurriedly exited the side hall and closed the door of the side hall.

In this way, the Fourth Prince sat next to Concubine Ning Gui.

"I don't know what the mother and concubine have to tell the son to do?" When the fourth prince spoke, he frowned, because he smelled a disgusting sandalwood fragrance in the side hall, and before the collapse, there was a trace of stranger's smell. breath.

Concubine Ning didn't talk nonsense, she said bluntly: "Just now a man broke into Jingning Palace, claiming to be Xu Xiaolian's younger brother, Xu Xiaolian told him all the things he investigated before he died, and he used this to threaten mother and concubine and make mother concubine Let the two children of the Xu family go, and he will keep the secret for the mother and concubine."

The fourth prince snorted coldly: "Didn't the concubine mother say that only the dead can keep secrets? The concubine mother probably didn't let him go?"

Like a mother, like a son, these two mothers and sons are indeed equally sinister, vicious, and ruthless.

"Naturally." Concubine Ning Gui smiled, "Concubine Mother has made him drink the poisonous wine, and the poison will explode within a stick of incense, and even Immortal Da Luo can't save him."

"Then what does the mother concubine want Erchen to do?" The fourth prince coughed lightly, slightly dissatisfied. He was training a new court lady just now, but was interrupted by Cheng Momo.

"You want to see people when you live, and you want to see corpses when you die. Do you understand?" Concubine Ning scolded, "Hurry up and send someone to search secretly to see where this person is."

The fourth prince instantly understood that although the man was poisoned, he did not die in Jingning Palace, so he had to send someone to find the body.

In this way, the mother and concubine who has always acted cautiously will feel at ease.

"My son understands, my son will order someone to do it." The fourth prince stood up.

"Okay, go quickly, be careful." Perhaps only to the Fourth Prince, Concubine Ning Guifei would show that rare tenderness.

"My son will leave." The fourth prince turned around and stepped out of the side hall of Jingning Palace with big strides.

At this moment, in a grove a mile away from the imperial palace, a man in a gray robe was performing a stripping scene.

He took off his clothes, not even his underwear.

And beside him, lay a man who had just died. His figure was almost the same as his, and the most important thing was that his face was exactly the same as his.

He very quickly put on the clothes, shoes and socks that he had taken off for the dead man, and quickly put on a brand new robe that he had prepared for himself, holding his breath and hiding on a towering tree.

After a while of silence in the woods, several guard-like people rushed to the place. After seeing the dead man lying on the ground, they immediately stepped forward to check.

After confirming that the dead man had been poisoned by some kind of strong poison, they put the dead man in a sack and quickly carried the dead man away from the woods.

On the towering tree, the man still looked blank, but there was a hint of contempt in his bright eyes...
