Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 428
Just when the two were in deep love, the door of the palace was suddenly pushed open, Jing Ning looked around in a bit of panic, and was slightly relieved when he saw that it was Wen Xing.Wen Xing stared at Xiao Lin with wide eyes, she thought she was dazzled.Seeing this, Jing Ning coughed lightly, and just about to say something, Wen Xing quickly backed out, closing the door for the two of them by the way.

"Look how scared you are, your face has changed." Xiao Lin smiled softly and stroked Jing Ning's hair, his eyes were full of unresolved affection.

Jing Ning glared at Xiao Lin reproachfully, if it wasn't for him, why would she be so flustered?But Xiao Lin's scorching gaze made her unable to say any words of complaint. Jing Ning lowered her eyebrows and her cheeks were as bright as peach blossoms, revealing a slender neck.

"Ning'er." Xiao Lin's voice was a bit hoarse, he rubbed Jing Ning's tender cheeks with rough fingers, and hugged Jing Ning tightly into his arms.

"I heard from Dad that Concubine Ji made trouble with you because we have no children. It's not easy to deal with such a thing. Why don't we solve this problem completely?" Xiao Lin hugged Jing Ning horizontally while talking. , walked towards the couch in the inner room.

Jing Ning buried herself in Xiao Lin's arms and let out a soft cry, her earlobes were already bleeding red, Xiao Lin's eyes darkened a bit when he saw this, he carefully placed Jing Ning on the bed, and leaned over to her past.

In the evening, Wen Xing thoughtfully called someone to bring the bathtub in. Jing Ning looked at Wen Xing's ambiguous gaze, her face became hot, she reached out her hand in embarrassment and pinched Xiao Lin who was looking satisfied, but she didn't give up use force.Xiao Lin raised his sword eyebrows, taking advantage of Wen Xing's inattention, he took Jing Ning's hand that fell on his waist, and quickly pecked lightly on her palm.

Jing Ning felt a tingling sensation in her palm, she quickly withdrew her hand, and glared at Xiao Rin in shame and indignation.Xiao Lin smiled lowly, looking at Jing Ning more and more dotingly.

Early the next morning, under Jing Ning's urging, Xiao Lin reluctantly changed his clothes and prepared to leave the palace.He originally wanted Jingning to rest for a while, but she was really worried about Xiao Lin, so she insisted on getting up to see him off with her limp body.

"It seems that Madam's physical strength has improved a lot during this period, and she still has strength at this time." Xiao Lin said seriously, but there was a bit of a naughty smile on his face.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, but I have become so unruly. I don't know how many women I have teased outside."

Jing Ning suppressed his embarrassment and hummed lightly, with a dark expression of suspicion on his face.There was no doubt in her pair of watery eyes, she understood Xiao Lin's personality, and she understood his feelings for her even more.

Xiao Lin immediately corrected his expression when he heard the words, and said with a serious face: "You have wronged me. I am dealing with military affairs every day and night except for my wife. I have no other thoughts. Besides, others are the best. In my heart, I am not half as good as you."

A smile appeared on Jing Ning's lips. Although she knew that Xiao Lin had a deep affection for her, but when he said it so seriously, Jing Ning's heart couldn't help trembling.

"It's getting late, let's go." Jing Ning was afraid that if he was soft-hearted, he would be reluctant to let Xiao Lin leave, so he quickly suppressed his smile and led him by the sleeve and walked out.

Xiao Lin sighed lightly, and couldn't help feeling pity in his heart. Jingning has been under too much pressure these days, so he is so cautious. A deep look flashed in his eyes, and now he has returned , will definitely not let her fall into danger again.

At this moment, the soldiers on duty at the palace gate had just changed, Jing Ning and Xiao Lin were hiding behind the rockery, Jing Ning watched the situation nervously, for fear that Xiao Lin would be seen.But Xiao Lin looked at himself leisurely, looking at Jing Ning without blinking, his eyes were full of smiles.

Just as Jing Ning was about to tell Xiao Lin to leave, Xiao Lin frowned, and he shook his head slightly at Jing Ning, Jing Ning understood and stopped speaking.

After a while, footsteps sounded, Xiao Lin pulled Jing Ning into the crack of the rockery, both of them relaxed their breathing.

The sound of footsteps gradually became clear, and a bright yellow hem with a dragon's tail embroidered on it came into view of the two of them.

Jing Ning and Xiao Lin looked at each other, their eyes were full of surprise, why is Zhao Yu here?
Jing Ning poked his head out slightly, and saw that Zhao Yu's brows and eyes were full of uneasiness. He looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he tapped the rockery a few times in a rhythmic manner, and the knocked stone fell Moved away little by little.Zhao Yu stepped in quickly.

Jing Ning, who witnessed the whole process, frowned. She always felt that Zhao Yu's movements were very familiar, yes!The man who led her into the secret path that day was the one who acted like Zhao Yu just now.After thinking about it, Jing Ning finally knew what was wrong. Since the man knew Zhao Yu's secret way, he must be someone Zhao Yu trusted very much. Now that Zhao Yu has ascended the throne, there is no need for the man to hide, but Jing Ning Never saw him in the palace.

At this moment, Xiao Lin led Jing Ning and stood in front of the stone gate. He stretched out his hand to recall the rhythm of Zhao Yu's knocking on the stone gate just now, and his slender fingers lightly landed on the stone gate.After a few clicks, the stone door slowly moved away.

Jing Ning and Xiao Lin looked at each other, then walked into the secret passage.However, just as the two got used to the darkness in the secret passage, they saw Zhao Yu lying on the ground.Xiao Lin hurriedly stepped forward and helped Zhao Yu sit down against the stone wall. He leaned towards Zhao Yu's wrist, and after concentrating for a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was very serious.

"Looking at the pulse, it should be poisoned." Xiao Lin said in a deep voice.

Jing Ning raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Zhao Yu was assassinated within a few days after he ascended the throne. She didn't know who was so bold. She looked at Xiao Lin, but saw Xiao Lin's eyes flashing. Moving a little confused.

"what happened?"

"Second... Your Majesty's pulse condition seems to be very vain, not at all like someone who practiced martial arts since childhood, and His Majesty has always been cautious, how could he be poisoned so easily, and if he knew that he was poisoned, he should call the imperial doctor at this time, why would he Appeared here? By the way, where is this?"

Xiao Lin observed the surrounding environment, he didn't know that there was a secret passage in the palace.After Jing Ning heard the words, he told Xiao Lin about the previous incident in detail. Xiao Lin was not in the capital for a long time, and he did not know the details of some things.

Xiao Lin nodded slightly after listening. He frowned and looked at the unconscious Zhao Yu, feeling somewhat suspicious in his heart.

"Your Majesty?" Xiao Lin called out in a deep voice.Seeing that Zhao Yu didn't respond, he stretched out his hand to poke into Zhao Yu's collar.

Jing Ning stared at the side, looking at Xiao Rin with a bit of weirdness, she didn't know that Xiao Rin still had such an unknown interest.
