Concubine's Survival Handbook

435 Threat
"You must not be careless about the whip wounds on your body. You must recuperate well after you go back. Don't take it seriously just because you are strong."

Xiao Lin nodded repeatedly, a smile appeared in his eyes, and that gentle gaze looked straight into Jing Ning's heart.Jing Ning's heart trembled slightly, and she hurriedly let out a light cough and lowered her head to hide her embarrassment.

"Do you want to teach her some kung fu?" Xiao Lin glanced at Qing Ping who was not far away, and asked in a deep voice.

Jing Ning frowned, if she didn't teach, Qing Ping's temperament would definitely not stay in the mansion obediently, but if she taught, Jing Ning was afraid that she would take revenge if she made a small achievement.

In the end, Jing Ning sighed slightly and said, "Let's teach self-defense first."

Xiao Lin nodded slightly, the sun has already set to the west, Jing Ning didn't want to delay any longer, so she resisted her reluctance to say goodbye to Xiao Lin and returned to the palace.

After that, a few days passed without incident, but not long after, Zhao Duo, who was imprisoned in the clan mansion, was released.It turned out that he secretly sent someone to find a scapegoat, and took the blame for the incident of instigating Qingping to poison him. The Queen Mother didn't expect to move to Zhao Duo completely through this incident, so she asked Song Yuan to let him go back. .

Today Jing Ning and Cai Yashan played a few games of chess in the Royal Garden, Cai Yashan ran to Concubine Mei's bedroom after seeing that Jing Ning couldn't play, she has been running to Concubine Mei's palace almost every day these days, Jing Ning has to admire her perseverance.After sending Cai Yashan away, Jing Ning was leisurely feeding the koi in the pond, dropping two pieces on the chessboard from time to time, and playing chess with himself.

"Young madam is really in a good mood!" At this moment, a deep male voice sounded.Jing Ning frowned and looked, it was actually Zhao Duo.He stared at Jing Ning closely with his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up with a bit of sarcasm and mockery, Jing Ning felt a slight chill in his heart.

"A few days ago, I heard that His Highness the Sixth Highness was sent to the Clan Mansion, why was he released today?" Jing Ning looked Zhao Duo up and down, without any intention of giving in in his words.

Zhao Duo's complexion immediately sank when he heard the words, he walked towards Jing Ning unhurriedly, barely stopping in front of her, with a somewhat obscure light flashing in his eyes.

"Young Madam, you don't want me to be released?" Zhao Duo's eyes were a little cold, and Jing Ning felt a little disgusted with those dark eyes.

Naturally, she didn't want Zhao Duo to be released. It would be better to be imprisoned in that dark cage forever to reflect on her mistakes.

"Your Highness Six is ​​thinking too much, I just said it casually." Jing Ning had a perfunctory smile on his face, and calmly opened the distance between himself and Zhao Duo.

Zhao Duo raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, he sneered disdainfully and said: "Maybe Young Madam is not only talking casually, maybe the girl in my other courtyard is also taken away by Young Madam at will?"

Jing Ning's heart tightened, she didn't expect Zhao Duo to find her so quickly, but she didn't panic at all.

"I lack a smart girl by my side. Your Highness the Sixth Highness won't be so petty and want to argue with me?" Jing Ning smiled, somewhat like "I just took you away, what can you do with me?" .

She thought that Zhao Duo would be furious when he heard the words, but she didn't expect that this person not only didn't get annoyed, but also laughed.

"It's just a lowly maid, I naturally don't care about it, but I don't know if this person is serving the young lady, or General Xiao?" Zhao Duo lowered his voice when talking about Xiao Lin, but there was a hint of threat hidden in his tone.

Jing Ning suddenly became flustered, it was all her fault for being careless, she forgot to cover Xiao Lin's face that day, it must be the old bustard of Sifang Pavilion who painted Xiao Lin's face and gave it to Zhao Duo.

Seeing that Jing Ning was silent, Zhao Duo's eyes flashed a little smug, he walked up behind Jing Ning with his hands behind his back, leaned slightly and leaned into Jing Ning's ear and said, "My second brother is not a good looker." Yes, tell me, how would he react if he knew that the border generals had returned privately? Who would the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty favor? Especially the queen mother, tsk, young lady, General Xiao is really in a difficult situation."

Jing Ning pursed her lips tightly, Song Yuan and the Queen Mother naturally don't have to worry, the key is how the ministers will react, what if Zhao Duo forces Song Yuan to deal with Xiao Rin then?All of a sudden, Jing Ning had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel worried about Xiao Lin.

"So, young lady might as well send that girl back. In this way, only heaven and earth will know about General Xiao's private return to Beijing." The smile on Zhao Duo's lips deepened, and the smug look in his eyes Also getting stronger.

"If the ministers of the court know that the younger sister of the person who poisoned His Majesty that day lives in the other courtyard of His Highness the Sixth Highness, I don't know whether His Highness will be sent to the clan mansion or directly sent to the guillotine." There was a flash of killing intent, and her tone was unreasonably cold. She turned around and looked at Zhao Duo, with a mocking smile on her beautiful face.

Zhao Duo frowned upon hearing this, and stared at Jing Ning viciously, wishing he could strangle her to death.Jing Ning also stared at Zhao Yu without backing down, the murderous intent on both of them was fully exposed.

In the end it was Zhao Duo who was defeated first, he sneered and said: "Young Madam is really smart, it is really his blessing that Xiao Lin has a wife like this, I hope that in the future Young Madam can show her sharpness like today."

Zhao Duo narrowed his eyes and stared at Jing Ning, as if he wanted to dig a hole in her body.Jing Ning raised a faint smile, and she said in a deep voice: "I also hope that His Highness the Sixth Highness will see Qing Ping in the future, and don't run away. I heard that the souls of people who died with injustice will turn into ghosts. Your Highness, Qing Ping's first seven should be coming soon, you have to be careful."

Jing Ning looked at Zhao Duo coolly, and only after seeing the lust on his face, she turned around and left the Royal Garden in satisfaction.

Zhao Duo stared coldly at Jing Ning's leaving back, bloodthirsty scarlet flashed in his eyes.He clenched his fist tightly and said in a low voice, "I won't make it easy for you!"

Jing Ning didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she returned to her palace, and after she calmed down a little, she went to look for Song Yuan.

"But something is wrong?" Song Yuan was somewhat surprised to see that Jing Ning went to the Qianqing Palace to look for him.

"Can your Majesty please allow me to return to the residence?" Jing Ning pursed her lips slightly, with a hint of eagerness in her eyes.

Song Yuan froze for a moment, then nodded.The former emperor left Jing Ning in the palace to contain the general and prime minister's mansions, but now Song Yuan thinks it is not necessary. Although he has no city mansion, he is still very accurate in judging people, loyal ministers like old general Xiao and prime minister Zheng Of course he wouldn't doubt it.

"Today, I will decree to allow you to return to the residence." Song Yuan said in a low voice.

Jing Ning breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, quickly thanked Song Yuan, and then quickly went to the Empress Dowager's Hall to report the matter to her.Originally, Jing Ning thought that the Queen Mother would stop him, but he didn't expect that the Queen Mother not only didn't stop him, but also sent a few clever maidservants to help him pack his luggage.
