Chapter 882
"Who is the old monster Dongwu?"

Shangguan Ning was very curious about this weird name last night, but the night was so fast that he forgot to ask for a while.

"It is rumored that this Dongwu old monster came from Dongwu, the land in the extreme north of Dayong. His kung fu is elusive, and his whereabouts are erratic. Very few people have seen his true face. Over time, the rivers and lakes have given this People took another name for the old monster, because it comes from Dongwu, so it is also called Dongwu old monster."

Shangguan Ning felt that the name itself was weird enough, and with this person's eccentricities, it made people feel uncomfortable no matter how they thought about it.

"This old monster is a woman?"

"It should be a woman."

"Why should it be?"

"Because no one has seen the true face of this old monster. The old monster speaks both yin and yang, but judging by the feminine kung fu, it seems to be from a woman."

"You said... the old monster Dongwu could be the real Ah Yi?"

"This is not certain, at least for now."

"Since you can't confirm the old monster Dongwu, how can you be sure that the woman from last night is the old monster Dongwu's disciple?"

This was what really surprised Shangguan Ning. Since Dong Wu's old monster was so mysterious, shouldn't her disciple be hidden in a low-key way? Why is her name even louder than her master's?

"I know the doubts in Ning'er's heart. This Situ Huang is indeed more famous than her master, because she has been using the name of her master since she first entered the Jianghu, so there are not a few people in the Jianghu who know this Situ Huang."

Shangguan Ning nodded secretly. In this way, this woman is also very flamboyant. Either she has some other purpose, or she is really capable. Otherwise, she has never seen anyone walking around in the name of a master!
"Situ Huang, Situ Huang... why do I feel that this name seems familiar?"

Shangguan Ning chewed on the name over and over again, frowning slightly. The name was really familiar, but where had he heard it?

Seeing Shangguan Ning thinking hard, Yan Mushang smiled slightly, and lovingly scraped the tip of Shangguan Ning's slightly sweaty nose with his fingers.

"You forgot, isn't Concubine Yun in the palace called Situ Huang?"

"Ah? Yes, no wonder it sounds familiar... No, how could Concubine Yun be the apprentice of the old monster of Dongwu?"

Shangguan Ning patted her forehead, feeling that she had been a little dizzy for many years, and couldn't figure out this complicated relationship for a while.

"Also, if the old woman was really dressed up by Concubine Yun last night, then why did you tell me those words? Wouldn't it be treasonous to tell such a scandal in the palace?"

Last night, she and Yan Mushang got off the secret passage, but after entering the secret passage, Yan Mushang took her hand and stood quietly inside the door of the secret passage, neither walking forward nor doing anything else. action.

Shangguan Ning knew that Yan Mushang must have discovered something, so she didn't dare to act rashly, so she snuggled up to Yan Mushang and waited in the secret passageway until Yan Mushang nodded to her and reopened the mechanism on the secret passageway.

That 'old woman' had indeed disappeared, but Yan Mushang hadn't been able to guess the true identity of the person pretending to be A Yi last night.

Yan Mushang didn't answer Shangguan Ning's words, but just looked at Shangguan Ning calmly.

"What are you looking at me like that for? Is there something on my face?"

Shangguan Ning was baffled by Yan Mushang's look, and she reached out to touch her face, but it was as flawless as jade, and there was nothing.

"Ning'er is so smart, can't she think of it?"

Yan Mushang's eyes were somewhat encouraging, and Shangguan Ning was a little ashamed. God knows that many of the previous things were because of his reliving. If it is true that he is not as good as Yan Mushang in terms of strategies and decisions.

"Is it ordered by the emperor?"

Yan Mushang fondled Shangguan Ning's long hair, but his eyes were deep.

"I'm afraid the emperor had such thoughts early on."

After a while, Shangguan Ning suddenly broke free from Yan Mushang's arms and opened his eyes wide.

"So, the emperor already knew about the fact that we entered the palace through the secret way?"

Yan Mushang nodded, this cousin of his is really impressive, he still remembers the two of them playing in the palace when they were young, although the current emperor is much older than him, he has to rely on his own fists to protect him, otherwise he would not know what to do. What is it like to be bullied by those other princes?

Since he was a child, he knew that people in the palace were complicated, but when he saw his cousin being bullied, he couldn't help but step forward. Even though his fists were immature, and he was often beaten up with bruises, he never regretted it Pass.

Now that I think about it, it seems like I was doing too much. How could such a scheming and cunning person be bullied so easily? He remembered that the reason why the emperor was able to stand out among the princes was because the first emperor saw him being bullied by a large group of princes. It was only after the beating that he was called to the side for questioning, that is, from then on, an unknown person gradually became the emperor's favorite and most valued prince.

He even remembered that he saw the Twelfth Prince pinned down in the lotus pond by his cousin, and it was his cousin who cried the most in the mourning hall the next day. In the end, the late emperor praised his virtue, Brotherly love is deep, and it was from that day that he and that cousin drifted away.

That's right, the two of them have rarely met each other these years, and I am happy to play the role of a happy prince. As long as it doesn't affect his interests, that cousin is also willing to be a wise emperor.

Little did he know, those hands had already reached out to his side.

He was not Shangguan Ning, and when he thought that the old woman was Concubine Yun in disguise, he keenly sensed that the emperor wanted to get rid of not only the Shangguan Mansion, but also the Zhushang Tower.

Otherwise, that Situ Huang wouldn't have to yell Su Ye one after another. This is undoubtedly reminding himself that the emperor already knows his identity like the back of his hand.

It's just that until the last moment, it's not known who will win.

"What is the emperor going to do? Now that he knows our whereabouts, why doesn't he just detain us, instead he has to go to great lengths to arrange such a scene?"

Shangguan Ning suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She had always thought that she and Yan Mushang were orioles, but she never thought that the real oriole was the emperor. The emperor wanted to take back the soldier amulet. This is a lice on the bald man's head. You don't need to guess. But the emperor neither put pressure on Shangguan Jin nor used force on himself and Yan Mushang, but told himself these things in a tortuous way, and Shangguan Ning was a little confused about the other party's mind.

"The man in black who led me out was also arranged by the emperor."

Yan Mushang added another sentence, and Shangguan Ning's eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

"The emperor wants to lure you away, just to give that Situ Huang a chance to talk to me alone?"

Thinking of what happened last night, Yan Mushang flew out, only to see that black shadow nimbly flying around the walls of the palace, not fighting with him, and that person's lightness kung fu was not inferior to his own, maybe that's why he got up He wanted to see the true face of that shadow.

The two chased each other in the night for less than half an hour, and just when he was about to catch up with the black shadow in front of him, the black shadow disappeared out of thin air, and Yan Mushang realized that he might have been caught in a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain. When he rushed back to Baisi Hall, Shangguan Ning was still intact.

Shangguan Ning's doubts deepened. She and the emperor had only met in two or three ways. Although she bore the title of a princess, she was not self-righteous enough to think that the emperor valued her so much, so why did the emperor do this.

"Regardless of why the emperor took such a lot of trouble, at least one thing is certain, the emperor does not want to expand this matter, in other words, he wants to use your hands to take back the talisman without bloodshed."

Shangguan Ning repeatedly chewed on Yan Mushang's words. Apart from this reason, she really couldn't find a better reason to explain it. But since the emperor knew about Shangguan Jin's ambitions, would he be so willing to let Shangguan Jin go?

Since ancient times, the emperor's most taboo is infidelity. She has seen Yan Mujing's methods before. Will such a person feel at ease to keep a tiger that can bite him back at any time?
"If... Shangguan's mansion is without the protective talisman, it is like a tiger without teeth. If the emperor wants to attack Shangguan's mansion, it will be as easy as flipping the palm of his hand."

This is Shangguan Ning's worry. The emperor's move seems to be choosing a way for Shangguan to survive for himself, but Shangguan Ning is not an ignorant fool. She wants to protect her mother and unborn brother, so of course she can't let it go. The Shangguan Mansion repeats the mistakes of the previous life, but what if the emperor won the military talisman but does not let the Shangguan Mansion go?

"Let's not think about that for now, just sit still and see what the emperor plans to do next."

Shangguan Ning felt that her temples were a little sore and swollen, as if a small bug was swelling back and forth at her temples. Seeing this, Yan Mushang stretched out her long, white fingers to gently massage Shangguan Ning.

"Do you think what Situ Huang said is true?"

Shangguan Ning closed her eyes, enjoying the special service of the owner of Zhushang Tower, and asked leisurely.

"Half-truth, half-false!"

More than [-] years have passed, I am afraid that Ah Yi himself will recall some of the memories indistinctly!
Shangguan Ning thought of Situ Huang's expression when she threw away the Xueyuan flower, and also mentioned the way Concubine Yu looked at Xueyuan crying sadly, so she couldn't imagine that she was telling a story.

Is it because her eyes are clumsy that she can't tell the truth from the fake, or is it that Situ Huang's skills are too high and her acting is realistic?

If what Situhuang said is true, Emperor Qianyuan's thoughts are really vicious. On the one hand, he wants to use the innocent Ling Yuanyu as a shield, and on the other hand, he wants to kill others. One side of the world.

"What are you thinking, huh?"

"I'm wondering if we have enough chips to make Shangguan Jin give up everything."

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Yes, how will you know if you don’t try.

Now that she has taken this step, she has to go on no matter what, for the sake of her mother, she will not back down even if there are huge waves ahead, not to mention that there is a person standing firmly by her side.

Early the next morning, Jin Se came to the door.

Although Shangguan Ning had already expected such a result, she was relieved when she heard the news of Jinse's visit. Shangguan Xue really lived up to her expectations.

Jinse didn't come into the Ningyu Pavilion, but Ziyu sent her away after only replying, but no one saw her. Ziyu handed over a letter during the tug-of-war with Jinse, but Jinse didn't notice put it in the sleeve.

The fact that Shangguan Ning left the mansion yesterday was not a secret, and Shangguan Ning didn't want to hide it, but when she came back, it was revealed that she left the mansion for the appointment because of Shangguan Xue's invitation. It was just one sentence, but it meant a lot It's not the same, and it can be regarded as laying a good foundation for the next drama.

Although Shangguan Xue responded, Shangguan Ning's heart ached. She didn't know how that person would react. Should she let her know in advance?
Thinking of the thin figure of that man, Shangguan Ning couldn't help but sigh in his heart, not knowing whether this matter was joy or sorrow for that man.

After noon, the second lady of the Shangguan family, who followed Aunt Qin's coffin out of the mansion that day and did not intend to return to the Shangguan mansion, brought the girl to the door of the Shangguan mansion.

When I left that day, there were still a team of spirit deliverers and mages who were saving lives, but today the gates of the mansion are indeed closed, and no one greets them.

Shangguan Xue looked up at the huge plaque, and the smile on the corner of her mouth seemed to be there. If Shangguan Ning hadn't told her the secret, she would never have wanted to return to this prison.

Jinse was also a little upset, but the master didn't say anything, so she couldn't say anything more, but within half a month, this fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl had learned to forbear.

The gatekeeper woman reported back to Ning, and then opened the door to let her go. Shangguanxue raised her head and walked step by step towards the Shoukang Garden, which she was very familiar with but didn't want to look back.

Shangguan Ning got the news that Shangguan Xue had entered the gate of Shoukang Garden, so she sat quietly by the window with a cup of tea and watched the two little larks jumping up and down on the branches of the sycamore tree that had lost all their leaves. Don't worry. Not panicking the clock.

Half an hour later, Qingping appeared at the courtyard gate of Ningyu Pavilion.

Le'er looked at Shangguan Ning in disbelief, this is amazing, how did the miss pinpoint the time so accurately, it's not even a hair's breadth away.

Shangguan Ning smiled slightly, and followed Qingping all the way to Shoukang Garden. At the door, she met Jiang Shi who was a step earlier than herself.

She didn't tell her mother about this matter in advance, because she didn't want her mother to worry about it and affect her rest, and also she didn't know whether this matter could be done properly, but she didn't expect Ning to call her mother over. It seems that once the issue of offspring is involved, the Ning family pays special attention to it!

"Ning'er is here too?"

Jiang shimmied her stomach, supported her waist with one hand, and pulled Shangguan Ning with the other. Nurse Jin supported Jiang shi on the side, for fear that Jiang would fall accidentally.

"Yes, mother, let's go in!"

Jiang's face was still full of doubts, but he did not stop, and followed Shangguan Ning into Shoukang Garden.

Entering the room, she saw Shangguanxue sitting under Ning's head as soon as she saw her. Seeing Jiang and Shangguan Ning coming in, Shangguanxue stood up and saluted.

"Xue'er met her mother, big sister!"

"It's Xue girl, stand over and let me have a look!"

Jiang's enthusiasm was not faked. Shangguan Xue was very cute and likable in the first place, and Shangguan Ning never told Jiang about the things she did in private. In addition, Qin passed away not long ago. Mother Jiang really cares about her mother's concubine.

Shangguan Xue took two steps slightly, and stood firmly in front of Jiang Shi.

"I've lost weight, isn't life on the mountain hard?"

Looking at Shangguanxue's slender appearance, Jiang's eyes were a little red, and she felt a little more pity for Shangguanxue in her heart.

"Mother, don't worry. Although the conditions on the mountain are not as good as those in the mansion, but fortunately, Xue'er has never had to suffer. What's more, Xue'er went to the mountain to keep her filial piety for her aunt, so she can't be greedy for enjoyment."

Shangguan Xue's voice was as soft as spring water, and she replied politely and touchingly.

"Second sister, I just met my younger sister yesterday, but I never heard my younger sister say that I'm going back home today, but what happened?"

The three stood in the middle of the room and exchanged greetings. Ning looked at the performance of the three of them, and they looked very natural, not like they knew it in advance, which made her feel a little relieved.

"Okay, all of you ladies should sit down quickly. I'm dizzy watching these one and two standing and talking."

Jiang Shi slightly blessed Ning Shi, Ning Shi quickly waved her hand, but Jiang Shi didn't insist, it was really not easy to drag such a huge belly around.

"Sounds good, the general hasn't come yet?"

Ning said something to the outside of the house, and then leaned in from the door along the way.

"Madam, why don't you go to Jinhua Garden again?"

"Okay, okay, just wait!"

The Ning family only sent someone to ask Shangguan Jin to come to Shoukangyuan, but he didn't explain the reason. I don't know if Shangguan Jin was delayed because of this.

Ning shi said to wait, so Jiang shi, Shangguan Ning, and Shangguan Xue naturally wouldn't have any objections.

"Old lady, my aunt is here."

Shunyi leaned forward to enter the door again, but this time Ning stood up excitedly from her chair.

"Who did you say was here?"

"Mother, Yue'er is here to see you."

Ning looked at Shangguanyue who walked in from the door, she was so excited that she burst into tears. Shangguanyue has been back to Qingyun City for several years, and this is only the second time she has returned to the mansion. The reason for running to a widow's house for two days, even if the widow is his heart and soul.

"Moon?"

"Sister-in-law, please sit down, sister-in-law is six months old now, Yue'er hasn't seen sister-in-law once, I'm really ashamed."

"What did Yue'er say, as long as you take care of yourself!"

The sister-in-law Jiang and Shangguanyue have only been together for more than a year, but they are very friendly, not worse than their own sisters.

After Shangguanyue came back from Jiangyang, Jiang Shi also went to Youhe Garden to visit several times, but this was the first time in the mansion. The last time Shangguanyue came back, he only stayed for half a cup of tea, waiting for Jiang Shi to get the letter. When she rushed over, Shangguan Yue had already left.

"Ning'er send my aunt greetings!"

"Xue'er pays tribute to Auntie!"

Shangguan Ning and Shangguan Xue greeted Shangguan Yue in tandem, and Shangguan Yue took a look at Shangguan Xue.

"I've seen girl Ning often. It's the first time I've seen girl Xue. She looks really cute. Come, come, this is a gift from my aunt!"

Shangguan Yue casually took off a glass and emerald seven-color skylark chain from her neck, and then stuffed it into Shangguan Xue's hand.

"Auntie can't force it, Xue'er would never dare to accept such an expensive gift from Auntie!"

"It's not an outsider, what are you doing with such a birth, just accept it!"

"Sister, accept it, Auntie's kindness!"

Shangguan Ning smiled slightly, remembering how close her aunt and her younger sister were when they walked around in the previous life, it was definitely not comparable to her own niece who was born in the first place.

It was hard for Shangguan Xue to refuse, and he thanked him again before accepting.

"Mother, my daughter came here without saying hello, didn't she hinder mother?"

"You child, you actually said something that poked your mother's heart. Come on, sit down quickly, you came just in time, and you will listen to this matter later."

 Bao'er, are you dizzy from watching, do you understand what the emperor means?
