After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Chapter 242: Playing with the Princes by Beacon Fire (2)

"Think about it, if she is not the emperor's sister-in-law's child, why would I invite you into the house to play with him?" Nan Baoyi's face was serious, "Wen Zhining, don't do anything stupid."

Wen Zhining lowered his head deeply.

Tears rolled down one by one, and her hands hanging by her legs clenched tightly into fists.

After a long while, she shook her head desperately: "I still don't believe it! You must have lied to me to survive. Nan Baoyi, you are Shen Jiang's lackey, I don't believe you!"

"I--"

"Ning'er."

Nan Baoyi wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Xiao Zizhong.

Xiao Zizhong covered the bleeding wound, his lips turned pale: "Ning'er, if you think we are guilty, then take action. However, I, Xiao Zizhong, have the happiness of the next life, so I bet you won't take action."

Wen Zhining trembled all over: "Why don't I take action? Xiao Zizhong, you don't understand me at all!"

Xiao Zizhong stared at her, his eyes full of tenderness.

He said warmly: "I am my childhood sweetheart, how can I not understand you? My Ning'er has always been well-behaved and kind. You hated the Zhao family girls and killed them for informing them, but this is your limit. You can't bear to kill us. Ning'er, you can't be cruel."

Wen Zhining's hand was placed on the music box.

Her expression was changing, and her fingertips were trembling slightly, as if she would trigger this mechanism in the next moment.

But she never did.

The Bahe River flows, the hall is quiet, and the fighting on the lakeside can be faintly heard.

I don't know how much time passed, but Wen Zhining suddenly became furious and overturned the music box.

She collapsed and knelt on the ground, clutching her head tightly because of the pain, and kept screaming miserably, like a wild animal that was cornered.

The screams were so desperate and sad.

Nan Baoyi felt compassion in her heart and subconsciously leaned on Xiao Yi's shoulder.

Xiao Yi didn't care about Wen Zhining.

He was always paying attention to Nan Baoyi. When he saw her taking the initiative to come closer, unnoticed tears flashed across his eyes. He stretched out his hand almost tremblingly and gently took her into his arms.

This is his Jiaojiao...

On the river, the solemn sound of chimes suddenly came from a distance.

Nan Baoyi looked through the window.

At the end of the dark Bahe River, a huge dragon boat was slowly approaching.

The ship building is majestic, the palace lanterns are brilliant, the palace maids behind the carved railings are in fragrant hair, and the aristocratic families on the deck are eating, drinking, talking and laughing, admiring the stunning appearance of the dancing queens in an extremely luxurious atmosphere.

Girls of noble aristocratic families gathered around the high phoenix chair. A woman in purple dress sat on it, wearing a golden crown with nine treasures and a phoenix. Her gorgeous nine-tailed phoenix palace skirt was fluttered under the Danqi. They are all calm and domineering.

The dragon boat finally approached.

Countless Jinwu guards boarded the ship along the escalator and captured Wen Zhining and all the actors. On the lake shore, Shen Yijue finally led a group of Jinwu guards to arrive. Countless actors wearing animal masks died under his knife. Down.

Queen Shen controlled the entire scene with ease.

Nan Baoyi and others were taken to the deck of the dragon boat.

She whispered guiltily: "Second brother, if I could have guessed that the murderer was Wen Zhining earlier,

I could send her out of the city in advance, but I was a step too late after all..."

Xiao Yi's eyes were gentle.

He touched the little girl's head: "Nan Jiaojiao has done a great job."

Taking the seat, Shen Jiang played with a golden handle and looked at Wen Zhining with a smile: "Let the old members of the Wen family act as beast-faced actors, so that the soldiers guarding the city will put them into the city unprepared, causing turmoil tonight. And in I arranged explosives at the bottom of my dragon boat and wasted no time in sending me on my way. Seeing that I couldn't be killed, I turned to take revenge on Zizhong and others. Wen Zhining, do you know how many crimes you have committed tonight? Ling Chi is not enough to survive."

Wen Zhining stood alone on the deck.

She looked at Queen Shen and just smiled: "I only regret that I don't have the ability to swallow charcoal and paint my body, otherwise I would have assassinated you long ago. Since you are a defeated general, I have to kill or behead you as you wish."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Nan Baoyi.

She is from Xinnan Baoyi.

My sister’s child is still alive in the world…

Even if she died now, she would have no regrets.

Xiao Zizhong was supported by his attendants and quickly begged for mercy: "Mother, Ning'er, she——"

Queen Shen interrupted him coldly: "There are countless casualties in Chang'an City. Someone must bear these serious crimes."

"But Ning'er has her reasons for everything. She is definitely not a vicious girl!"

Facing Xiao Zizhong's hoarse voice, Queen Shen just smiled calmly, looking at him with gentle eyes, just like a master looking at an ignorant pet.

Xiao Zizhong was panicked and wanted to say something, but Shen Yichao, who was dressed in white and snowy, suddenly stood up.

He held up his wide sleeves and reminded: "If you want to forgive Wen Zhiming's death penalty, the only way is to give him a general amnesty."

Xiao Zizhong was stunned.

He vaguely guessed something, and asked in a hoarse voice: "How can we... give amnesty to the world?"

Shen Yichao said seriously: "When the prince ascends the throne, he can grant amnesty to the whole world."

Xiao Zizhong's face turned even paler.

The crown prince ascends the throne...

The queen mother is forcing him to ascend to the throne of prince!

He once disliked that the seal of the East Palace was stained with the blood of the eldest emperor brother and Qingyang.

But now, the queen mother actually used Ning'er's life to force him to become the prince.

He stared at the stubborn and lonely girl for a long time, laughing to himself as if giving up: "Mother, I would like to be the prince. However, please let Ning'er go now, I am afraid that she will be in the prison." suffer."

Wen Zhining said solemnly: "You don't need to be pretentious!"

Shen Jiang smiled and whispered a few words to a noble lady beside him.

The noble girl nodded, bowed respectfully to her, and then walked to Wen Zhining's side: "Sister Zhining, I'll take you ashore."

Nan Baoyi was very afraid that Queen Shen would do anything again.

She couldn't leave the scene rashly, so she could only pay close attention to the movement of the boat.

The boat slowly docked. The noble lady didn't know what she said to Wen Zhining. Wen Zhining seemed to have had her soul sucked out. She stumbled a few steps on the lake shore and suddenly burst into tears.

The water was foggy.

Xiao Zizhong heard the mournful cries and was about to chase her over to take a look. Queen Shen raised her eyebrows: "If you dare to see her again, I will tell her to expose her body in Chang'an tomorrow."

Xiao Zizhong had no choice but to suppress his desires and was forced to suppress his anger.

Shen Jiang seemed to be in a good mood, raised his hand and said: "Play music."

The chime sounds.

She picked up the golden wine cup and suddenly stared at Xiao Yi: "I remember that you were sent to the Colosseum as a punishment, why are you here?"

Nan Baoyi suddenly became nervous.

She was racking her brains to think of countermeasures when Xiao Yi stood up, cupped his hands and said: "In the Colosseum, I heard that assassins were rampant in Chang'an City. I was worried that my mother would be injured, so I came here to protect her."

He glanced at Queen Shen: "If the mother is well, the child will be relieved."

Queen Shen obviously didn't believe this rhetoric.

However, she was very tolerant and generous on her face: "Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and you are filial, so I can't hold you accountable for anything. Just be careful in the future."

"Yes. The queen mother should also pay attention to her phoenix body from now on."

Nan Baoyi's mouth twitched slightly.

The second brother and Empress Shen are in the same boat, but when they act in front of outsiders, they do exactly the same thing.

It was already early morning when we returned to Nanfu.

Nan Baoyi was exhausted physically and mentally.

She didn't have time to think about why Wen Zhining was crying on the lake shore, so she slept until dusk the next day. Pei Ziqi, Zhou Tingsheng and others were also sleepy and fell asleep in Nanfu.

The city of Chang'an was rioting all night, and until dusk, it was still full of ruins. The Jinwu Guards, led by Shen Yijue, were carefully searching for the remnants from house to house.

Outside Chang'an City, there are green mountains, green waters and snow-capped mountains.

A girl wearing a snow-white skirt slowly climbed onto the long-abandoned beacon tower.

She was wearing a garland of plum blossoms, and her lacquered hair was flying in the cold wind, like a fairy from Feng Xu Yufeng.

She looked down at the river and mountains, with wet tears still on her cheeks.
