County Lord Changning

Chapter 326
Sima Jiao's face turned pale, is it really her grandfather?

Qin Changning stopped looking at Sima Jiao and asked someone to pour water into the bathtub, and asked Qin Changning to take a bath. Qin Changning got up and walked to the clean room.

Qin Changning thought that Sima Jiao should go when she came out after taking a bath, but when she came out, she saw Sima Jiao was already familiar with him and sitting on her bed. A flash of surprise flashed in Qin Changning's eyes. Qi was inside waiting for her to take a bath, and Doukou was outside all the time. Seeing Qin Changning looking at her, Doukou helplessly blessed Qin Changning, not knowing what to say.

She also thought that a noble person like the eighth princess should have never experienced any chess in the palace, and should have thrown away her sleeves in a fit of anger after being ridiculed by the princess just now. Bringing hot water to serve her to wash, and then laying down on the Princess's bed as a matter of course...

Seeing Qin Changning's questioning eyes towards Dou Kou, Sima Jiao pursed her lips and said, "Don't ask her, I asked her to wait for me to take a bath, even if I am out of the palace now, I still have the blood of the Sima clan on my body, She is still a court princess, a maid like her dare not disobey me."

Qin Changning raised his eyebrows and looked at Sima Jiao with a cold expression, "So, what do you mean now?"

Sima Jiao looked at Qin Changning with deep eyes, and said sincerely, "Although I don't know why my grandfather and the others did that, and I can't stop them, what I can assure you is that I will not fight with them." For me... please believe me."

Qin Changning took a deep look at Sima Jiao, pursed his lips, walked over and stretched the quilt to lie down, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you say you will be quiet at night?"

Seeing that Qin Changning didn't object to her staying, Sima Jiao showed a smile on her face, shook her head and said, "I sleep very quietly, so I won't disturb you."

Qin Changning stopped talking and closed his eyes to sleep.

...

Prime Minister's House.

Prime Minister Xiao looked at the three dead bodies thrown in the courtyard with a gloomy face, his face was so gloomy that water dripped out, and standing behind him were several counselors raised by his house, including Liu Yuqing and Su Haoran , Prime Minister Xiao pointed to the corpse in the middle and said in a deep voice, "Bring the paper on his body to the truth!"

One of the counselors who looked thinner took a step forward and took off the letter paper on it and handed it to Prime Minister Xiao respectfully. Prime Minister Xiao took it violently, opened the letter paper, saw the words on it, and threw the paper on the ground angrily. , looking angrily at the counselors, "It's all your good idea! Now not only has she almost killed our dead soldiers, but even the corpses have been sent to Zhenxiang's house, and this piece of paper you have a look!"

Liu Yuqing stood there motionless, with a calm expression, hooked the corners of her mouth and said, "Prime Minister, I have already said not to send anyone to intercept and kill Princess Changning, let alone send someone to Prince Jin's Mansion to inquire about her. It would be easy to startle the snake. Yes, look at this now..."

After speaking, he glanced at the thin counselor, "Brother Qi Hong, you made a mistake this time."

Su Haoran stood aside and nodded in response, "Brother Yuqing said that we have not yet figured out the details of Princess Changning, so we rashly assassinated her, and we are the ones who will suffer in the end."

Liu Yuqing glanced at Su Haoran, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes, but the smile was retracted when he looked at the stern-faced Prime Minister Xiao, and he pursed his lips and said, "It seems that the princess Changning already knows We sent someone over there, my lord, do you want someone to explain it and say it was a misunderstanding?"

Prime Minister Xiao frowned and glanced at Liu Yuqing, then stood with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "How do you explain it! Isn't that getting darker and darker!"

Su Haoran nodded in agreement, "My lord is saying that we can ignore this matter. Anyway, Princess Changning's letter is not signed. I will let people spread the news that the prime minister's mansion has been assassinated in the morning..."

Prime Minister Xiao looked at Su Haoran approvingly for a moment, nodded and said, "You should be more thoughtful, since these assassins came to the prime minister's mansion to assassinate, then they were not sent by the prime minister to assassinate Princess Changning, but Some people seem to have killed the truth and Princess Changning, so it can be regarded as a common enemy between Zhenxiang and Princess Changning."

When Liu Yuqing and Su Haoran heard what Prime Minister Xiao said, a faint emotion flashed in their eyes, but it was all so fleeting that people couldn't catch it.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Prime Minister Xiao looked at the three corpses on the ground with disgust, and said indifferently, "Deal with them!"

Liu Yuqing and others also resigned together.

In the early morning of the second day, the news that the prime minister’s mansion encountered an assassin was aroused in the neighborhood. Some people said that it was the enemy of the prime minister’s mansion, while others said that the prince was afraid of the people sent by the prime minister’s mansion... There are various theories, but the most disturbing one is One thing to pay attention to is that the assassins who went to assassinate the Prime Minister's Mansion this time are actually organized by the same organization as the assassins that the convoy of Jin Wang's Mansion met on the road last time.

"I heard that the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion also killed three people, and all three of them have been sent to the Ministry of Punishment!"

"I heard that they are all dead men in the rivers and lakes. If the identity cannot be found, is it useful to hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment?"

"It's definitely useless. You see, Princess Changning and the others were assassinated, and they were also investigated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Up to now, the identity of the assassin has not been found yet!"

"Oh, the capital is not safe anymore."

"What's unsafe? I'm not here to kill you..."

The petite Dong'er in the crowd's eyes sparkled, she pulled a passerby and asked, "Then, is that Prime Minister Xiao injured? Those assassins who are so powerful should be injured, right?"

The passerby who was dragged by Dong'er looked back at this little girl with a strange look, how could a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl be interested in such a bloody thing!

Seeing the puzzled look on the other side's face, Dong'er quickly said, "I heard that the assassins encountered by Prince Jin's Mansion were very powerful. They killed all the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion! Besides, the young lady was injured, and everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion is fine. ?"

A passer-by looked at Dong'er's curious eyes, sighed in his heart that he was still a little girl, don't argue with the little girl, shook his head and said, "No injuries, not even the guards of the prime minister's mansion, and killed three assassins."

Hearing that the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were not injured, Dong'er's eyes flashed with disappointment. After thanking the passerby, she turned and walked towards the Prince Jin's Mansion, murmuring as she walked, "What a pity, that big man The villain was not injured!"

The princess was injured many times because of them, and it's really unfair that he was safe every time.

But he still hurried back to tell Qin Changning the good news about the assassin in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
