The Devious First-Daughter

Among the crowd, there was another disturbed person, Princess Muling. She glanced at Wu Yao subconsciously, then withdrew her gaze calmly, and no longer took the initiative to lean towards Wu Yao. Yao's side squeezed over, but it's inappropriate to pass by Wu Yao's side at this time.

Although this matter seems to have no direct relationship with Wu Yao, it can't help but make people think that Mrs. Wu Yao, who has been staying out of the matter, is really so innocent, but the celebrities who stepped down did not look at Wu Yao much At first glance, I feel that there is something tricky in it.

Wu Yao asked people to rearrange the tables and chairs and invite people to sit again.

Ning Xueyan also took Lanning and Qingyu down the high platform, and returned to the original position to sit down. The guard in the palace who came earlier saw that he was fine now, and looked at each other. about to leave.

It's just that today is destined to be the peak of the incident, and they just rearranged and sat down here.

Xinmei walked in with one hand in each hand, pulling a maid and a man in, and then threw the two of them into the middle of the male and female seats, and then said to the original palace guards in Yiwang's mansion: " These two people are hiding together, intending to murder the Crown Princess, please kill them on the spot."

If you don't ask any questions, you will be killed on the spot. The man who looks pretty good immediately shouted anxiously: "Wait a minute, don't do anything, I am the master of this garden, I am here Is there anything wrong here?"

"I... I am the maid next to Mrs. Wu. I borrow something from the master of the garden for Mrs. Wu. I need it. Is this... impossible?" The maid yelled.

Ning Xueyan leaned back, as if she didn't hear the explanation from the two people in a panic.

"What is that? Why did you two take the little portrait of our princess and write such curse words on it?" Xinmei said coldly, and a letter in her hand was thrown out.

Wu Yao in the crowd turned pale, subconsciously grasped the handkerchief in her hand, she felt bad, in today's situation, accidents happened one after another, even before she used her last idle move, she She was directly exposed by the girl next to Ning Xueyan.

It completely caught her off guard.

He moved his feet and was about to come out, but he heard the garden owner exclaim loudly: "This...has nothing to do with me. This letter was given to me by this girl. I don't know that the one above is the Crown Princess."

The owner of the garden was originally a dandy, and he was tricked by a letter to come to see the beauty, but he went around and didn't see it, so he had to go back disappointed. After that, Wu Yao's maid came to him and told him I saw that beauty again on the road and wanted to take him to have a look.

Unexpectedly, this time before the trip was made, this girl who came out of nowhere was beaten so hard that she couldn't get up on the ground, and then the letter was searched out, and the girl was even flamboyant. In front of them, he drew a few ghost symbols on the portrait on the letter, and then dragged the two of them roughly all the way.

No matter how daring this dude is, he would never have imagined that the woman in the portrait he had received before was the princess concubine. When he saw the guard on the opposite side, the sword that was still bleeding in his hand was hard, and he immediately pointed at the maid and shouted. yelled.

This dude, who was also stimulated by the bleeding sword at this time, came to his senses, saying that this beauty took a fancy to him and wanted to ask him to meet in private. When they met each other, it was clear that they had fallen into someone else's tricks, and this was going to put them to death!

"What's going on?" Wu Yao hurriedly took a step forward, and asked sharply at the maid who was pale with fright and trembling all over.

"Slave... Slave..." The girl's face changed greatly in shock, but she couldn't utter a word, she just looked at Wu Yao pitifully, with obvious pleading in her eyes.

"You... are really too much. The Crown Princess and you have no enmity in the past, nor have you had any grudges in the near future. I also told you what happened last time. It was just a family member of the Crown Princess who beat your younger brother. It's just an injury, it has nothing to do with the Crown Princess, I never thought that you would be so narrow-minded and want to murder the Crown Princess, I... can't save you either."

Wu Yao sighed, the meaning in the words, as if pointing out that the reason why the maid did such a thing was entirely because of the personal anger between her and Ning Xueyan, which had nothing to do with her, and the expression on her face was even more serious. disappointment.

"Yes... yes, ma'am, it's a slave... it's a slave... I missed it..." The paleness on the maid's face turned into a look of death and despair, but it was a promise in her words. Yao's confidant, of course, knew the meaning of Wu Yao's words, if he didn't admit it, his brother's life would be lost.

Giving up on herself to save her younger brother's life was the only thing she could do now.

Others don't know Mrs. Wu Yao's ruthlessness, how could she not know, she will be able to admit it now, she is the one who died, if she doesn't admit it, her younger brother and even her whole family will die in the In the hands of Grand Master Ya, even if something happened to Mrs. Wu Yao, it is not so easy for Grand Master Ya behind her.

After thinking about this point clearly, the maid will admit it in such a desperate way.

No one expected that the banquet of the well-known Mrs. Wu Yao would end in such a scene, which not only made Ning Xueyan's talent famous, but also discredited Mrs. Wu Yao. It has nothing to do with Mrs. Wu Yao directly, but so many things have happened, and even Ning Xueyan, the crown princess, is almost abolished there, how can I not let others think about it...

Is this Mrs. Wu Yao really so innocent? She won't have any unspeakable entanglements with Grand Master Ya's residence, right?

Wouldn't she be helping Taishi Ya's mansion to frame the crown princess for the benefit of the king?

With such doubts, the banquet broke up immediately after Ning Xueyan's first unceremonious exit, and the banquet naturally broke up unhappy.

It can be said that Mrs. Wu Yao, who has always had a good reputation, was also brought to the front of the stage, arousing everyone's suspicion, and her maid was naturally taken away by the guards in the name of verification.

The incident happened suddenly, Wu Yao could only watch helplessly as people were taken away, and then hurried back to her own mansion after everyone left, and secretly went to the mansion of Yatai Mansion with a gloomy face.

Ao Mingyu's family also got the news, and Xia Yuhang spent half the night with Xia Yuhang, and Xia Yuhang left after midnight.

The matter of Ning Xueyan made the whole situation tense. Many sensitive people noticed something unusual in it, and all of them closed their doors early to wait and see the next change.

The wind and rain are coming, and even the air is filled with tense breathing.

No one noticed that a light carriage quietly left Beijing. Wen Xueran's eyes on the carriage showed an indescribable depth and loneliness...

In the night, a group of black people rushed straight to Yiwang Mansion where Ning Xueyan lived alone now...

It's just that they didn't expect that Ning Xueyan had quietly entered the East Palace. There were two small sedan chairs, the front one was Ning Xueyan's, and the back one was Princess Xianyun. Concubine's name, Ning Xueyan felt that she could not be left behind, and Ao Chenyi came to pick her up, so of course she brought her along.

Fortunately, since the day when Princess Xianyun was threatened with the entire Marquis of Anguo, Princess Xianyun seemed very calm, and she got on the sedan chair as soon as she was asked, without saying a word.

As for Yiwang Mansion, Xinmei stayed and looked at Lihuayuan, and Liu Feng, the hermit guard, was also guarding in secret. Ning Xueyan is now with Ao Chenyi, so of course there is no need to worry about safety issues. It is the best for skilled hidden guards to stay in Yiwang Mansion and watch over there.

As for why she suddenly allowed herself to enter the East Palace quietly, Ning Xueyan also guessed that someone must be trying to make a fuss about herself!

After entering the East Palace, Ao Chenyi let Princess Xianyun randomly find a yard to live in, while Ning Xueyan moved into Ao Chenyi's East Palace Prince's main courtyard together with people and things.

But Ao Chenyi was not there. The eunuch said that he had business ahead and asked Ning Xueyan to eat dinner by herself. Ning Xueyan was not surprised, knowing that he was too busy to touch the ground, so he obediently let others let him go. During the meal, the dishes served were all her favorites, and even the dessert after the meal was what she always used, and her heart was warmed, after using half a bowl more.

That night, Ning Xueyan fell asleep, and waited for a long time for Ao Chenyi to come, thinking that he should still have something to do, in a daze, she didn't know when she fell asleep, and when she woke up the next day, she didn't see him either. Seeing him, I heard that Xinmei came to report early in the morning, saying that there were thieves in Yiwang's mansion last night.

A group of men in black went straight to the Lihuayuan and rushed into the master bedroom, but they failed in the end. Instead, they were ambushed and captured a few alive.

"Where are those people?" Ning Xueyan wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, implying that Qingyu can take things away.

"Now it should be with His Highness. That night, these people were directly arrested and sent away. The slaves and Liu Feng were still waiting there. After that, there was no one there. However, none of the men in black should have escaped. " Xinmei said.

While talking, Lan Ning ran in, before he could speak, suddenly he heard a bell in the distance, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine Down……

Ning Xueyan stood up abruptly, and Jingyang's drum rang nine times, which represented the collapse of the mountain and the death of the emperor?

"Master, Your Highness asked the master to change into plain white clothes and hang up the whole yard in plain colors, saying that the emperor passed away last night!"

"What happened last night? What's going on?" Ning Xueyan asked Xinmei to ask the court ladies and eunuchs in the yard to find out all the white cloth, hang it up, and then make a coarse cloth dress for each of them. , while anxiously asking Lan Ning.

"I don't know too well, I just saw the chief guard, and he only said that it seems that the matter is related to the king, as if the king sent someone to kill the emperor, or something else, the servant did not understand at the time What he meant." Lan Ning replied, she suddenly said that the emperor had passed away, and she was a little confused at that time.

Although the emperor's health is very bad now, everyone knows, but he didn't die so quickly, and it is said that he was alive and well yesterday, and there was news from the palace that the emperor woke up a little longer than usual, look It should get better soon.

"Let someone make His Highness and my clothes first, and other people should also step up." Ning Xueyan nodded and stopped asking, knowing that this is not the time to pursue this, and Ao Chenyi should have a response The means, since he secretly brought himself from the Lihuayuan to the East Palace, he can tell.

So, she just needs to get things done in the backyard.

Donggong has its own needlework team, and the work is very fast. After a while, Ao Chenyi and Ning Xueyan's white coarse clothes were finished, and after the person sent out Ao Chenyi's one, Ning Xueyan put it on by herself. Another one, and then go with Qingyu and Lanning.

Ao Chenyi had already changed his clothes, waited there, and when she saw her coming, he straightened her collar first, and then led her to the harem.

The East Palace can actually be regarded as a part of the East in the imperial palace, but there is still a door separating it from the imperial palace. Through the separate door, a large group of people came to the front of the emperor's bedroom, and there was already a lot of crying there.

What surprised Ning Xueyan the most was that the one who should have knelt in the first place crying was not the queen, but concubine Shu.

The queen is not here!

Ao Chenyi didn't know when he stopped, stretched out his hand to hold Laning Xueyan's hand, and told her simply: "Yesterday Ao Mingyu sent someone to assassinate the emperor, and the queen is the internal response, and now they are both in prison. The affairs of the palace will be up to you."

Since something happened to the Empress, Concubine Shu is of course missing Ning Xueyan in terms of position. Moreover, now that Ao Chenyi is the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, her status as the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace has also increased. It's normal for her to be the main one.

Squeezing Ao Chenyi's hand vigorously with her backhand, Ning Xueyan nodded without saying anything.

Afterwards, Ao Chenyi went to deal with the emperor's funeral, and Ning Xueyan took all the concubines, as well as the married women who had been notified, to kneel down behind them, weeping, and dealt with it in an orderly manner.

Some older wives, looking at Ning Xueyan's treatment, took advantage of the time when Crying Ling was free, and nodded secretly one by one. It seemed that the next queen was very clever, young, and sudden. When the incident happened, it was dealt with in an orderly manner, and it was impossible to tell that it was a woman under the age of fifteen.

Some people even heard that the King Xiang also sent someone to assassinate Prince Yi that night, trying to hold Princess Yi hostage. Although he was unsuccessful, seeing how calm Princess Yi looked now, it didn't look like she was frightened last night at all. It looks like, this Princess Yi really has the demeanor of a mother who respects the world.

Ning Xueyan also set up separate resting places for some frail old ladies and some pregnant young ladies, so that they can mainly rest, but at the right time, it is enough to come out and cry a few times. It has won the approval of many ladies.

No matter if they are old and weak, or young and pregnant, when the emperor died, he would have cried with everyone. Unexpectedly, Princess Yi, who is so kind, would actually take care of them like that. The princess is magnanimous and benevolent.

Ning Xueyan didn't expect that what she did would win the approval of the wives. At this time, she was sitting inside, listening to Lan Ning report all the news she had inquired.
