Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 420 The Incident
Three days later, when the hunting ceremony was over, Zhao Yu came out on top as expected, and the top of the essay test was a man who had never shown his face in court. The man who entered the secret path.She had even more doubts in her heart, and she didn't know what Zhao Yu wanted to do.

When Jing Ning was in doubt, someone patted her on the shoulder suddenly, Jing Ning turned her head in surprise, and faced the excited Lan Yao.

"Jingning! Did you know that His Highness the Fourth Highness came back a few days ago?" Lan Yao's watery eyes were filled with brilliance, as if some great event had happened.

Jing Ning looked at Lan Yao helplessly and said, "Of course I know." Not only did she know, she also met the Fourth Highness a few days ago.

Lan Yao nodded when she heard the words, she was afraid that Jingning's news would be blocked and she would not know about it.

Lan Yao continued to ask: "Then do you still remember that Miss Cai a few days ago?"

Jing Ning nodded, she vaguely felt that the matter between Cai Yashan and His Highness the Fourth Highness was proceeding according to her own ideas.

Lan Yao nodded in satisfaction, she deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Did you know? News about those two people came out of the capital today, saying that the Fourth Highness actually stayed in Cai's mansion, or lived in Cai Yashan's boudoir. People are afraid that they performed the ceremony of Zhou Gong, and it is said that Mr. Cai fainted from the anger."

Seeing Lan Yao's excited appearance, Jing Ning sighed helplessly. She knew that Lan Yao had such a temperament, and she was very clear about the gossip and gossip in the capital, which almost became her pleasure.

At the same time, Jing Ning also felt a little bit of relief in her heart. The Fourth Highness was finally no longer so indecisive, and Cai Yashan's wish could be fulfilled, but she was still a little worried about Concubine Mei. Knowing such news, I am afraid that I will be a little overwhelmed.

Jing Ning was hesitant about going to talk to Concubine Mei, but in the end she didn't go, after all, this was the family affairs of His Royal Highness, and it was not good for her to interfere too much.Seeing Jing Ning's silence, Lan Yao thought she was shocked by the news, so Lan Yao patiently waited for Jing Ning's response.

Jing Ning looked at Lan Yao's eager gaze, and knew that she wanted to say something, so she said softly, "This is actually a good thing, His Highness Fourth and Miss Cai seem to be a good couple."

Lan Yao raised her eyebrows and said, "Could it be that you forgot that Miss Cai wanted to marry your general? I don't know what's going on, but she's going to be with the Fourth Highness. Could it be that the Fourth Highness forced her to marry you?" She? No, he doesn't look like that."

"The Fourth Highness is naturally not that kind of person." A smile appeared on Jing Ning's lips. She sincerely wished that the Fourth Highness and Cai Yashan could be together happily. After all, it is not easy for these two people to come to this day.

Lan Yao raised her eyebrows upon hearing this.She looked at Jing Ning meaningfully and asked: "You seem to know the Fourth Highness very well, why, have you dealt with each other before? If you know the secret, please tell me!"

Jing Ning smiled and winked at Lan Yao, Lan Yao immediately became excited when she saw this, she knew that Jing Ning must understand some of the reasons.But Jing Ning kept smiling lightly and remained silent, which made Lan Yao more and more curious.

As Jing Ning expected, the emperor gave Zhao Heng and Cai Yashan a marriage the next day.The marriage of the two was arranged one month later, which was originally a happy event, but Concubine Mei fell ill after hearing the news, and Jing Ning felt a little helpless about it. After all, Concubine Mei had been planning for Zhao Heng for so long, and still Take advantage of Cai Yashan's feelings.But until now, everything has come to naught, and it is no wonder that Concubine Mei can't afford to fall ill.

But now Jing Ning is a little worried about the emperor, she has seen the emperor from a distance several times in recent days.The emperor's complexion didn't look very good, there was a burst of greenness between his brows, like a sign of poisoning.Jing Ning sent Luo Hua to investigate, but Luo Hua didn't find any valuable clues, only that the emperor was weak recently, and the imperial doctors in the palace were busy recuperating the dragon's body for him.But Jing Ning instinctively felt that this matter would not be so simple.

That day Jingning was reading a book in the room, Wen Xing hurried in, handed her an unsigned letter, and said in a low voice: "Miss, this is sent by the Second Highness, please Definitely accept this letter.”

Jing Ning frowned when she heard the words. After reading the letter, her complexion changed drastically, and she quickly threw the letter into the brazier beside her. Seeing the flames engulfed the letter paper, she was slightly relieved.

The content of the letter was very simple, only one sentence: don't go out at midnight tonight.

Jing Ning vaguely felt that something important was about to happen in the palace, but she still decided not to intervene in it. After all, the battle in the court was not something she could control alone.
Jing Ning was supposed to fall asleep at night, but she was in a state of restlessness. After tossing and turning, she finally sighed, got up and put on her clothes, and stood quietly in front of the window, listening to the movement in the palace.

Not long after, a bell rang from the palace, a total of 36 rings, Jing Ning sighed, it was the emperor's death.At this moment, there was a sound of panicked footsteps in the palace.

Jing Ning hurried out of the palace, grabbed a flustered court lady and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

The palace lady said with a panicked expression: "The second prince brought him into the palace, but he didn't know where he came in. Right now, the palace is full of Chi Yanwei under the second prince's command. The whole palace has been surrounded by the second prince, young madam Let's hurry back to the room!" After finishing speaking, the maid hurriedly walked elsewhere, probably going to report the matter to various palaces.

Jing Ning's heart trembled, Zhao Yu wanted to kill the emperor and stand on his own!

At the same time, she also understood what the secret road in Zhao Yu's garden was used for, and those forked intersections were probably all important nodes leading to the palace.Jing Ning felt fear after wave. She never thought that Zhao Yu would let her know the existence of the secret way. After all, if she accidentally leaked the news about such a thing, I am afraid that Zhao Yu's success would fall short.

Jing Ning guessed that Zhao Yu must have had the idea of ​​killing her before, but it may be because of the influence of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion that he let go of that idea.When Jing Ning came back to her senses, she realized that a thin layer of cold sweat had already formed on her body.

At the same time, in the emperor's bedroom, Zhao Yu looked at the withered emperor coldly, his eyes seemed sad and happy, but his complexion was pale, while Song Yuan looked at Zhao Yu with sad eyes. .

Time rewinds to an hour ago.

"Your Highness, everything is ready." Song Yuan looked at Zhao Yu's back and said.

Zhao Yu caressed the vivid eyes of the woman in the painting.He sighed slightly and said, "Si'er, this day has finally come."
