Chapter 861 Tracing the Roots (Is It Actually Like This?)

Shangguan Ning could almost guess what Ziyu was going to say next, this silly girl, if she didn't let her kneel down and kowtow, she probably wouldn't even dare to say a word.

"The servant girl begged the young lady to save Miss Ouyang."

Shangguan Ning's eyebrows were like Dai, and she looked at Ziyu in surprise. She didn't expect that Ziyu's pleading was not for Nightingale but for Ouyang Niaoyiao. It's not that Ziyu doesn't know what happened to Ouyang Niaoyao.

"You mean Nightingale?"

Shangguan Ning hadn't planned to do anything to Ouyang Niao at first. Killing people was nothing more than nodding their heads. Ouyang Niao was already in this state, and the punishment was already very heavy. However, what Nightingale said was to save, not to release, this request was obviously a little bit It's hard for the strong.

"Miss, Ziyu knows that she shouldn't say such things to Miss. Miss is so generous to Ziyu. Even if Ziyu is a cow or a horse, it is difficult for Ziyu to repay him, but Ziyu only has such a relative. Nightingale said, if Miss Ouyang She will never live alone even if there are three long and two short... ".

Ziyu cried with pear blossoms covered with rain, her delicate cheeks were covered with crystal tears, her big misty eyes were like the morning mist in March, hazy and graceful, making people's hearts inevitably wet when they saw it.

"Ziyu knows that Miss Ouyang and Nightingale have done a lot of wrong things. The maidservant is a girl from Ningyu Pavilion, she is someone close to Miss, so she should be on Miss's side, but...but...".

Ziyu squeaked, her face flushed, she couldn't continue, she knew how much her request was too much, even shameless, she was just a girl, and all she relied on was Miss's favor.

"Ziyu, how many years have you been in Ningyu Pavilion?"

Shangguan Ning picked up the teacup on the table again, and gently blew away the foam on it with her mouth. The red lips were close to the rim of the cup, and the tea was already slightly bright.

"Miss Hui, it's been six years!"

Ziyu didn't know why the lady would ask this question, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Yeah, it's been six years. I remember that when you first came to Ningyu Pavilion, I was losing my temper in the yard. The branches of the sycamore tree were smashed all over the place by me. After you entered the yard, you didn't say a word. Said, I found a broom and swept the branches and leaves clean."

Shangguan Ning said slowly, as if that scene happened yesterday.

Ziyu lowered her head, and also remembered the day when she was led by Nanny He to Ningyu Pavilion to report, and saw a cute little girl with red lips, white teeth, white ice and snow standing under the plane tree in the yard, but the little girl didn't know why she was so small. His face was flushed red, and he held a stone the size of an adult's fist in his hand, and threw it at the tall plane tree, causing the palm-sized leaves to fall to the ground.

Among the sycamore leaves flying all over the sky, the little girl stubbornly raised her head. She saw the corners of the girl's eyes sparkling, but in the end the shiny liquid didn't drip down. For some reason, she had an inexplicable feeling for this little girl. Distressed.

"Miss……".

"Ziyu, you are more than three years older than me, right?"

"Yes, after October, the servant girl will be 19 years old!"

"I'm 19 years old, I should have kissed you long ago. It's my carelessness that delayed your marriage!"

Shangguan Ning was a few years younger than Ziyu, but for some reason, every time Ziyu faced this little master, Ziyu would have the illusion that the young lady was not a child but a middle-aged woman who had gone through many ups and downs. There is a vicissitudes of life.

"Miss, the servant does not marry, but always serves the lady."

Ziyu said seriously, she really thinks so, she doesn't have any desire for marriage, she just wants to do her own duty well, always be by Miss's side, and it is her responsibility to take good care of Miss. Blessed.

"I will find someone to treat Miss Ouyang."

"Uh……".

Ziyu was taken aback for a moment, wondering what happened to her young lady, what she said today was very strange, sometimes she recalled the past, and sometimes asked her own age, just when she thought that the young lady would not agree to her request, the young lady Nod again.

"Ziyu, I know that you have always longed to have a family with relatives and affection. I knew about Nightingale's existence early on, but I didn't dare to let you see her. The house was full of wind and clouds, and Nightingale and her master repeatedly fought with me. Tit for tat, I am afraid that if you recognize each other, one day you will be even more sad."

"Miss, Ziyu understands, Miss is kind to Ziyu, and Ziyu knows it all."

Hearing Shangguan Ning's words, Ziyu couldn't help crying, how could she get such kind treatment and love from her master, how could such a master make her bear to leave and hurt her.

"Okay, don't cry, I'll go and tell my grandmother to let Nightingale out, but, what about the future, let her take care of herself!"

Shangguan Ning moved quickly, and went to Shoukang Garden in the afternoon. Ouyang Niaoyao has become a living dead, which is more resentful than taking her life. Naturally, Ning has lost interest in such a person. Nightingale is just a girl. She couldn't get into Ning's eyes, so Shangguan Ning got Ning's approval without any effort, and Ziyu went to the firewood room to pick up Nightingale.

Ziyu directly brought a basin of clean water, and in the firewood room, wiped Nightingale's face and hands clean with a face towel, and applied medicine to her exposed wounds with a piece of gold sore medicine. The dark green plush cloak tightly wrapped Nightingale.

Looking at her twin sister, a softness flashed in Yeying's eyes. She lived on the streets since she was a child, suffered all kinds of crimes, was insulted and beaten, did not have enough food and clothing, and slept in the open. .

Until she met Ouyang Niaoyao, the woman in white clothes picked herself up and treated her like her own sister. The young lady's life was not easy, she said that her home was just a shed with a roof covered by tiles.

But even so, she at least got the dignity of living like a human being. No matter how much she eats, the young lady has always been divided into two, and even the quilt insisted on being half with herself. Stay by Miss's side, even if it is a mountain of swords and fire, even if it is covered with thorns, she will never leave Miss.

However, she never thought that she actually has a younger sister, a twin sister. She still remembers the first time she saw Ziyu in the mansion. At that time, she was still a child, wearing a lavender gauze dress with Holding a clay pot to collect dew among the flowers, her smile is as bright as the spring sun.

The nightingale is destined to belong to the night, to walk in the shadows, but the purple jade belongs to the sunshine, as clear and clean as the sky in September.

Originally, she thought that she could just watch quietly in this life, but she didn't expect that there would be a day when they would recognize each other. Deep down in her heart, Nightingale was grateful to Shangguan Ning.

"Sister, you live here for the time being. I'll clean up that room before you move in."

Nightingale sat on the edge of the bed, watching Ziyu busy back and forth like a happy butterfly, folding the quilt for a while and dusting off the dust, the room was tidy and clean, and Nightingale's eyes couldn't help but feel a little warm. For many years, she followed the young lady through life and death. , every day is either planning or running around, she has never thought about being so plain and warm.

In the middle of the night, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and there are few leaves left on the sycamore tree. The white moonlight penetrates the staggered trunks and falls on the mottled tree shadows on the ground.

A slender figure came out of the wing room like a swimming fish, and quietly approached the main room where Shangguan Ning was.

The room was silent and dark.

The petite figure pressed her body against the door, and her ears were pressed against the door panel.

"come in!"

The sudden sound came from the house, although it was not loud, it was especially clear in the silent night.

The petite figure turned around and was about to leave, but for some reason, as soon as he got down the steps, he turned around again, pushed open the door, and then gently closed the door with his backhand.

The moonlight in the room was dim, it was not as dark as it looked outside, you could vaguely see a person sitting beside the edge of the bed, the outline was a delicate woman.

"I thought you wouldn't come tonight, you were going to sleep!"

"You knew I was coming?"

"Everyone has already entered the door of Ningyu Pavilion, so if you don't come to my place to take a look, wouldn't you miss such a good opportunity?"

In the dark, the woman who came in first looked a little embarrassed, but fortunately, the light in the room was very poor, so no one could see it.

"Sit down, I guess you have a lot to say, you will inevitably get tired after standing for a long time."

The woman looked at Shangguan Ning in disbelief. It seemed that every time this Shangguan Ning had the ability to impress her, she was just a 15-year-old girl, but she had a very clear understanding of people's hearts. She had learned a lot from her. He had little ability, but it paled in comparison in front of Shangguan Ning.

She didn't intend to be polite, so she lifted up her robe and sat on the chair in the middle of the room, her figure was tall and straight, she looked like she had practiced martial arts.

"Thank you!"

Shangguan Ning was taken aback by the woman's first words. From the first time they met, he and the master and servant were in the same situation, and swords were at war. There was never such a time.

"I thank you because you took good care of Ziyu, allowing her to live a safe and happy life."

Nightingale's voice was a little hoarse. If Shangguan Ning hadn't known something about Nightingale, she might have thought that she had hurt her throat by crying too much.

"Ziyu is my girl, it's my business if I treat her well, you don't have to thank her!"

Before everything became clear, Shangguan Ning did not intend to change his attitude too quickly.

"Also, thank you for your willingness to treat my young lady."

Shangguan Ning frowned, but in just one day, how could this nightingale seem to have been transformed into a different person?

"I just agreed to save her, but her situation is not optimistic. She was sent to Jinxiu, and you are no stranger to this kind of medicine. "

Shangguan Ning was telling the truth. In the past two days, she had heard about the horror of this medicine more than once from Zhang Funian. She had also read a lot of medical pharmacopoeias, and even sent a message to ask Suyi about it. , the answers obtained are not optimistic.

"beautiful?"

Nightingale obviously paused, as if remembering something.

"You said that the lady was under the Jinxiu?"

Shangguan Ning nodded. Judging by Nightingale's reaction, she seemed to be very familiar with the drug Jinxiu.

"He actually...".

Nightingale's voice was obviously suppressed, but it was unknown whether it was shock, anger, or hatred for Shangguan Ning that was suppressed.

"What do you want to know?"

Shangguan Ning was taken aback, wondering what Nightingale meant.

"Just ask what you want to know, I will only give you this one chance."

Nightingale's tone was cold, but it was warmer in Shangguan Ning's ears than before.

"How do you usually communicate?"

Nightingale was a little surprised at first, but later realized that Shangguan Ning was really powerful, and she had already found out the young lady and the person behind her backstage, and her methods were really extraordinary.

"Every time we meet in front of the broken city god in Dongcheng, if he invites us, we will put a yellow silk handkerchief under the incense altar; if we have something to ask him, we will put a red silk handkerchief under the incense altar .”

"What is he asking you to lurk in the mansion?"

Nightingale didn't answer right away, apparently struggling a little, and Shangguan Ning didn't press her to ask, but only heard three drumming beeps from outside.

"Looking for the secret letter, and...".

"What else?"

"Steal the soldier talisman."

Shangguan Ning was horrified. All the soldiers and horses in the world belonged to the emperor. As the saying goes, in the whole world, could it be the king's land leading the land, could it be the king's ministers? What does the emperor want soldier talismans for?
"You have been lurking for many years, but you have found nothing?"

"Hey, Missy is really good at joking, if we find it, will we still stay here?"

Shangguan Ning was noncommittal. If she didn't stay in Shangguan's mansion, would she enter the palace?

The inner courtyard of the palace is different from ordinary rich and luxurious mansions, and it is not something that anyone can enter casually, but since it should be said so, that person must have promised something to Ouyang Niaoyou. Thinking of her guess about Ouyang Niaoyou's suicide, Shangguan Ning Can't help but sigh.

"Besides you, are there any other people in the mansion?"

The questions Shangguan Ning asked were all to the point, and each one was the key.

"Yes, but he's already out of the house."

"Who?"

"Mallow."

With a click, a certain place in Shangguan Ning's heart seemed to be thrown into a stone, and the originally calm water rippled layer by layer, and the mallow turned out to be the emperor's man.

Thinking of everything between Mallow and Shangguan Hongqun, Shangguan Ning had to come up with new guesses. Could it be that the emperor had doubted Shangguan Hongqun's identity a long time ago?

If it wasn't for Mallow's deliberate actions, Shangguan Hongqun would definitely not be interested in a second-class girl, and she was the girl next to his aunt.

Shangguan Ning couldn't help but feel a burst of fear just how deep this Yan Mujing's scheming was. I'm afraid that there are really no simple people in the royal family. Thinking of the childhood life that Yan Mushang told her, Shangguan Ning couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Could it be that something happened to Mallow's leaving without saying goodbye?

She thought that Mallow just wanted to avoid Shangguan Hongqun, and wanted to go out of the mansion alone for a while, and she would come back when she calmed down after a while. After all, the lovely twins Wuyou and Wuyou were still in the mansion. , Mallow likes these two children so much, how can she be willing to leave!
But now, Shangguan Ning didn't think so. Maybe things were more complicated than she imagined.

"You guys did Li Zhijin's house to frame his mother back then?"

Nightingale was no longer surprised by Shangguan Ning's intelligence, it seemed that Shangguan Ning already understood almost everything they had done before.

"That's right, Li Zhi was designed by us to lose money in the casino and owed a huge amount of gambling money, and we also removed the tortoiseshell."

Shangguan Ning didn't expect Nightingale to be so straightforward, so she couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Do you have other goals besides the secret letter and the soldier talisman?"

This is what puzzled Shangguan Ning. As early as the beginning, she had already found out that Ouyang Niaoliu was responsible for what happened back then, but at that time she thought that Ouyang Niaoliu did it out of hatred. Now the truth is When it surfaced, Ouyang Niaoyao didn't intend to take revenge, so how can he explain what happened back then?

Nightingale raised her head, her smooth and fair neck showed a woman's delicate curves, and her ink-like black hair fell loosely on her cheeks, making her look a little softer.

"According to our many years of investigation, the soldier talisman is probably on Madam Jiang's body."

Nightingale's words rang in Shangguan Ning's heart like a thunderbolt, and the soldier's amulet was on her mother's body, how could it be possible?

What an important thing is a soldier talisman, it can dispatch an army, and it is a Qingyun army of 50. The Qingyun army is the most elite army in Dayong, and each of them is a master of ten. Shangguan Jin will put such an important thing on his mother body?
This was a fantasy to Shangguan Ning, but at the same time, Shangguan Ning also knew that Ye Ying and Ouyang Niaoliu had been dormant in the mansion for many years.

"Tsk, don't you think it's surprising? If it wasn't for a chance, I was forced to hide in the Fuxi Pavilion, and I definitely wouldn't have found out about it."

Shangguan Ning's eyes darkened slightly. This news was too difficult for her to accept. Did mother know about this?What is Shangguan Jin's motive?
"Even so, what's the use of letting Li Zhijin's house frame Madam?"

Shangguan Ning asked involuntarily, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he said in shock.

"Are you trying to use this to force your mother to submit?"

Nightingale nodded approvingly. Talking to a smart person saves effort, and she can get it right.

"It's just that I didn't expect that the thing that was about to succeed would fail immediately if you got me in the way. If it wasn't for this, maybe the lady would have been able to get away a long time ago."

Shangguan Ning quickly connected all the things together and thought about it, before speaking again after a while.

"Shuyue is also one of yours?"

"Strictly speaking, Shuyue is not one of us, but that girl is greedy for money, she is a master who accepts her mother if she has money, and she has always thought about Shangguan Jin. We just do what we like and cooperate with each other. That's all."

"Where is the mallow, where is it?"

Nightingale frowned, she had said enough today, if it wasn't for the sake of her younger sister and Shangguan Ning's kindness to her, she would never have said it.

 Today, Jiu'er went to the editor to seek comfort.
