"The beginning of the Chen hour." Yi Qiu was already used to the young master's strange words and guessed the meaning based on the context.

That is seven o'clock.

Xia Jing fell back on the bed: "Sleep a little longer."

The quilt on a winter morning is more attractive than a young girl in her twenties.

Besides, Xia Jing was a little sleepy. Late at night, he used the game map to carefully observe the situation in the cold palace and see General Coal threatening Concubine Rong Xu Wanrong.

"The sun is shining on my butt!"

Ning Xuenian said a classic sentence, grabbed Xia Jing's hand and pulled her out. Xia Jing pulled her into the quilt with his backhand, and hugged her amid her exclamations.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw the girl's sleeping face in front of me.

I gently pulled aside the curtains, and the sunlight came in. It was already bright outside, probably around eight or nine o'clock.

Putting down his hand, Xia Jing turned sideways to look at Ning Xuenian's face.

The sleeping girl was not as stubborn as when she was awake. Her eyebrows were relaxed and her lips were slightly open, like a cotton doll.

Xia Jing reached out and poked her cheek, creating a beautiful dimple.

His movements woke the girl up.

Ning Xuenian sat up and rubbed her eyes: "When did you wake up? Why didn't you call me?"

"I've been awake for a while, come and see my sister."

Ning Xuenian was stunned for a moment, then realized what Xia Jing said and immediately blushed.

She reached out to touch the corner of her mouth, made sure she wasn't drooling, and breathed a sigh of relief.

My sister's dignity is preserved!

Be careful next time and don’t fall asleep in front of Brother Jing!

Luhua and Yi Qiu heard the noise and came over to help the two change their clothes.

Ning Xuenian was wearing the lotus palace skirt made for her by Xiao Yue, and Xia Jing was wearing the cotton robe made by Xiao Yue. The two of them sat together, like a golden boy and a jade girl wearing the same clothes.

At the dinner table, Xiao Yue became more and more delighted as she looked at the scene.

"Mother said that it is not convenient for her to come to Jingyixuan. When Empress Xiao is free, she can go to Yonghua Palace to see her. She misses Empress Xiao very much." Ning Xuenian brought news from Concubine Yun.

Concubine Yun didn't come to Jingyixuan because she was afraid of meeting Concubine Xian.

"Is Sister Yun here now?" Xiao Yue thought it would be better to do it today than to wait for another day.

After receiving a positive answer, she took Yi Qiu and went straight to Yonghua Palace.

At this point, Jingyixuan and Yonghua Palace ended the cold war and resumed diplomacy. The leaders of the two sides met in Yonghua Palace to discuss peace in the harem.

The greatest contributor, Xia Jingshen, kept his achievements and fame hidden.

After breakfast, Xia Jing took Ning Xuenian to the laundry bureau first, visited Hui Jing, asked about the matters of the craftsman supervisor, and then went to Yanghexuan.

Concubine Xian uses her old tricks again, but this time without the Eighth Prince, and her plan goes smoothly. Ning Shouxu goes out and meets Xia Jing and Ning Xuenian.

"Good luck to you, mother." Ning Shouxu sat on the chair and bowed to Empress Xian.

He looked at Xia Jing and Ning Xuenian again: "Royal brother and sister are doing well."

"Greetings, Third Brother." Xia Jing and Ning Xuenian saluted Ning Shouxu.

Xia Jing looked at Ning Shouxu. This was their first official meeting. Compared to his appearance in the game, Ning Shouxu's temperament was even more striking. He was serious and his eyes were like an eagle. His face was particularly pale because he had never seen the sun.

This look is suitable for pretending to be a vampire on Halloween. Putting some ketchup on your face will definitely make naughty children scream and crazy girls jump for joy.

No wonder Ning Gaoxiang is so afraid of him.

After looking at Ning Shouxu, Xia Jing looked at his chair again.

"What, are you curious?" Ning Shouxu misunderstood Xia Jing's gaze, lifted the blanket on his legs, and then lifted the hem of his cotton robe, revealing his legs in pants.

The fabric of his trousers clung to his legs, outlining them.

Below the calves, there is nothing.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn. Nanny Yuan looked at Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian looked at Xia Jing and Ning Xuenian.

Ning Xuenian was startled, took a step back, and held Xia Jing's hand tightly.

As soon as they met, Ning Shouxu did this, which aroused everyone's attention.

This is a strategy where you reveal your weaknesses when you meet someone and then determine what the other person is thinking based on their reaction.

This strategy isn't particularly brilliant. Your current understanding of the other person's thoughts is only temporary and partial. Even if they are fearful or disgusted, that doesn't necessarily mean they will be fearful or disgusted once you get to know them better.

But such a strategy can preserve one's self-esteem to the greatest extent possible. A short pain is worse than a long one. Only by being mentally prepared at the beginning can one erect defenses and avoid being hurt.

Being in a mess is more painful than losing.

This is Ning Shouxu's test for Xia Jing and Ning Xuenian.

Xia Jing held Ning Xuenian's hand and looked at Ning Shouxu, his expression normal: "I am curious, but not curious about this."

"What's that curiosity about?" Ning Shouxu thought. Is he trying to change the subject? Did Xiao Zhaoyi teach him this? That would be the best way.

Xia Jing pointed to the chair under Ning Shouxu, his face full of anticipation: "Can I try this?"

Nanny Yuan took a deep breath.

What are you talking about! Let the lame man get up from the wheelchair and let you sit?

Ning Shouxu looked at Xia Jing, his eyes, expression, and body motionless.

After a moment, his shoulders twitched, and he first laughed with his head down, then raised his head and laughed out loud.

Nanny Yuan and Concubine Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and it was a genuine smile.

"Okay, of course." Ning Shouxu slapped his thigh, "This is the first time someone asked me for this!"

Nanny Yuan stepped forward and carried Ning Shouxu to the armchair.

Xia Jing climbed onto the crude wheelchair. It was a modified recliner, suitable only for lying down. It had only two wheels, so to move it, he had to tilt it forward and backward, suspending it in the air.

It feels like a cart for transporting grain, but it has been changed into a cart for transporting Ning Shouxu.

"Sister, push me." Xia Jing greeted Ning Xuenian.

Ning Xuenian ran to the back, tried it out, and quickly mastered the pushing method, turning around in the room.

"It's my turn, it's my turn!" Ning Xuenian patted Xia Jing's shoulder, her face flushed with excitement.

Xia Jing pushed her, allowing her to enjoy a period of "lightning speed".

No one can resist racing. Speed ​​is passion, even if it is just a small cart.

"Let me play for a while too."

Concubine Xian lay down, and Xia Jing and Ning Xuenian pushed her together. Their lack of strength made the push dangerous, which actually added to the fun.

Ning Shouxu clenched his hands. Nanny Yuan always pushed him very carefully, never this fast. He had no idea it was possible to play like this!

He wanted to try it, but he couldn't lower himself, so he could only feel itchy in his heart.

He thought that this ninth prince was truly a wonderful person, completely different from the other princes and princesses.

Chapter 50: Death of Concubine Rong

After returning the wheelchair to Ning Shouxu, Xia Jing and Ning Xuenian reluctantly left Yanghexuan and went back to their respective homes.

Following Xia Jing back to Jingyixuan was General Coal.

The work is done, it's time to settle the bill. General Coal jumped in front of Xia Jing and meowed.

Xia Jing patted its head and told it that killing chickens was not a daily wage, but the full payment for the project. It still had to go to the cold palace to continue Xu Wanrong's treatment for three or four more courses.

General Coal cursed very harshly.

Xia Jing lamented that General Mei didn't understand his painstaking efforts. No matter how happy things are, they lose their charm when they become routine. Just like an old couple, it's hard to be as passionate and rock-hard as ever again.

On the contrary, patience will accumulate happiness, such as those who like to play inch-stop.

Xiao Yue picked up General Mei to comfort her. General Mei wanted to refuse, so he put his feet on Xiao Yue's chest and pushed her away again and again.

The instinct to knead milk controlled it, which is a normal behavior for cats.

……

Xia Jing originally thought that it would take four or five days for Xu Wanrong to become suspicious, but unexpectedly, the effect was seen in the second course of treatment.

In the morning, Yi Qiu came back with a lunch box and told Xiao Yue the news he had found out.

"The deposed concubine has been making a fuss these past two nights, saying that she heard a woman crying in the well and saw glowing eyeballs at the window. Oh, and she also said that someone was knocking on the doors and windows at night!" Yi Qiu said excitedly.

Xiao Yue didn't respond, but just lowered her head to drink tea. She had no interest in Xu Wanrong's fate, her goal was only to defeat Rongpin.

"Master, tell me, are those who died unjustly seeking revenge?" Yi Qiu stood behind Xiao Yue and massaged her shoulders.

"There's no such thing as ghosts and gods." Xiao Yue patted Yi Qiu's hand.

"What does the young master say?" Yi Qiu asked Xia Jing again.

"You're about to die, and you're still asking about Jing'er!" Xiao Yue pretended to be angry and gently hit Yi Qiu on the head.

Yi Qiu stuck out her tongue. She felt Xia Jing was calm and methodical, unlike other children who were jumpy and confused. She considered him a peer, so she hadn't considered telling her story to a child.

"What young master? There are no outsiders here now, what should I call you, sister?" Xia Jing sat in Xiao Yue's arms, swinging her legs.

During the witchcraft incident, in order to deliver the things to the laundry bureau as quickly as possible, Yi Qiu and Xia Jing signed a treaty that was humiliating and detrimental to the country. Now it's time to settle the bill.

Yi Qiu's eyes widened. She thought Xia Jing had forgotten!

She gritted her teeth, opened and closed her lips three or five times, and then softly said, "Brother Jing."

"Good sister, here you go." Xia Jing held up the pastry.

Xiao Yue burst out laughing.

Yi Qiu blushed as she bit into the pastry. She quickly changed the subject: "The Eighth Prince was driven out by the Empress, and I heard he was sent to the Yingpin Palace."

Since Concubine Rong was sent to the cold palace, the Eighth Prince naturally had to change his mother.

Emperor Kangning was too lazy to intervene and left it to the Empress to decide. With only nine princes in the harem, the Eighth Prince naturally became a hot commodity, with many concubines going to Kunning Palace to try to find connections and get the Eighth Prince.

The queen held the eighth prince hostage and seemed to control all the concubines who did not have princes.

Lipin made many promises, won the bid, and took the Eighth Prince away. If nothing unexpected happened, the Eighth Prince would be transferred to her name in a while.

But how could that little boxing champion, the Eighth Prince, be easy to raise? He caused a big disturbance in Lipin's palace, and within two days, Lipin sent him back to Kunning Palace.

The queen sold the eighth prince to a concubine with a stronger personality. Unexpectedly, this time it was faster and he was sent back in one day.

She didn't believe it and decided to raise the baby herself for a while to see how it goes. Today, she couldn't help but drive the Eighth Prince away.

Only then did she understand why Concubine Rong had wanted to abandon the Eighth Prince. This Eighth Prince was truly outrageous! Only Concubine Rong could control him!

Xia Jing guessed that this matter was not over yet and Ning Chengrui would continue to make trouble.

In the game, after Ning Chengrui was crowned king, he was even more cruel than Concubine Rong and took pleasure in torturing and killing palace maids. In the end, he was either imprisoned or executed.

It's not just Ning Chengrui who gives the Queen a headache, but also Concubine Rong.

The incident of the dry well concerned more than just Concubine Rong. Of the more than ten bodies, most were disposed of by the Empress through Concubine Rong, and most of that majority involved other people.

If Rongpin reveals the truth, there will be a great turmoil in the harem, and her position as queen will be in jeopardy. Virtue is an important indicator for the title of queen.

Rongpin promised to take on everything, and the Queen was not worried at first. But now, Rongpin is yelling about some evil spirit demanding her life, and looks like she is going crazy. Can a madman keep his promise?

……

Dark clouds obscured the stars and the moon, not letting in a single ray of light, and the harem was shrouded in darkness.

There were few lanterns in the cold palace, only two hanging under the eaves of the main hall. When the wind blew, the light swayed and made a rattling sound.

Xu Wanrong is just a palace maid now. She cannot live in the main hall, nor is she qualified to live in the side hall. She can only live in the ear room.

She huddled up in the corner of the bed, covering her head tightly with the quilt.

At midnight, there was indeed movement outside the door again.

But this time it was not crying or the creaking of doors and windows, but the sound of footsteps.

Footsteps reached the door, and they pushed it, but it didn't open. Rongpin wrapped the quilt tighter around her.
