The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Alarming the Snake

 In August of the second year of Jingyuan, the weather was good and the world was peaceful.

In the afternoon, King Jin took his lunch break as usual. While he was sleeping soundly, the steward stood beside the bed and called anxiously, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the fight is about to begin."

King Jin, who was sleeping soundly, jumped up from the bed instantly as if he had an organ. "What's going on?" The first reaction in his brain was that except for King Yan who ascended the throne, all the sons of the late emperor died in the fight for the Dragon Chair. What's the matter? Will someone come to grab the throne again?

 Except for such important matters, who in the Jin Palace would dare to scream while the master is sleeping.

 “Your Highness…really started fighting.”

 “Who?” After thinking about it for a while, besides the Holy One, what other sons did the late emperor have?

The steward had a mournful face and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Lang and Ning Baniang were fighting. I heard that Ning Baniang was about to be captured. But Ning Qilang took action. The brother and sister and Liu Lang had been fighting for almost an hour. From inside Ningguo Mansion to outside Ningguo Mansion, people from all over the street came to watch."

Only then did King Jin realize that it was not the sons of the late emperor who were fighting for the throne, but his own son who was fighting with the children of the Ning family. "Why fight?"

Although it is not a matter of competing for the throne, Jin Prince's Mansion and Ning Guo Mansion are not ordinary families, and Prince Jin's anger disappeared instantly.

“I asked about it, but I didn't hear anything. I heard that the prince went to Ningguo Mansion as soon as he came back from Weizhou County, rushed in and arrested Ning Baniang, and then... just like what he said just now.”

The younger son and Ning Qilang have fought together. They came down from the battlefield together. Sometimes their lifelong friendship is stronger than that of real brothers. In fact, since they came back from the battlefield last year, the younger son A Lan and Ning Qilang often eat and drink together. , playing better than brothers.

 There is no better father than a son.

The King of Jin knew his son very well. If it was not an emergency, he would never do anything to beat someone. Moreover, he rushed to someone's house and beat the young lady. The people below said they had not heard about it.

 The younger son came back from Weizhou County...could it be related to the second wife of the Su family?

The King of Jin was about to call Shuang Rui, but after thinking about it, he asked, "Where is Ning Guo Gong?"

“I heard that Lord Ning Guo went out to meet friends and was not at home.”

King Jin, who was about to change his clothes and go out, paused. Then...he shouldn't know?

In front of Duke Ning's mansion, Zhao Lan and the Ning brothers and sisters have been fighting for three hundred rounds and are still fighting.

At the beginning, the Ning family felt very guilty. After all, they allowed the brain-burned Mrs. Zhong to be with his fiancée. It was right for him to be a little annoyed, but no matter how annoyed he was, it was enough for you to just say a word, so why did you still beat him at his home? .

Ning Baniang is so angry. You feel sorry for your fiancée, but doesn't she feel sorry for her niece? In the vast sea of ​​people, it is easy to find a simple, motivated and nice family like the Su family. Her little niece has not eaten or thought about tea since she came back from the Su family. She is almost starving. She is asked to stay with Su. What's wrong with the second mother? Even if the marriage doesn't work out, it's not enough to just walk around as friends. If she comes up, she'll hit her.

She is afraid of him!

　　Just hit.

It's a pity that Ning Baniang, a little lady who doesn't even have half a bucket of water, can be Zhao Lan's opponent. Ning Qilang can't stand a dignified man bullying his sister, even if he is a dead brother, he has to take action.

 The two were fighting inextricably, and they fought all the way to the entrance of the alley, just shy of reaching the street.

The onlookers were talking a lot, "Why did Prince Zhao and General Ning get into a fight? Aren't they good brothers who came off the battlefield together?"

“I don't know, I heard someone said it was for a woman...”

　　When I heard that there was a woman in the gossip, the onlookers, no matter whether they were court officials or peddlers, their eyes lit up and they asked, "What kind of woman?"

“I heard it's Narcissus, the top lady in the priest's office.”

“Wow, I heard that the lady Narcissus is as her name suggests, she is watery and fairy-like. Just sitting in the lobby and listening to her sing a little song costs twenty taels.”

 “It's so expensive!”

In the crowd, someone looked at the two noble gentlemen who were still fighting. After listening to the gossip, he quietly withdrew from the crowd. He looked forward and backward, but no one was following him. He hid in a quiet courtyard. Half a quarter of an hour later, he emerged from the crowd. I went out through the other side door and looked around again. I felt that no one was following me, and then I merged into the crowd of people on the street again.

 The mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole.

There was someone following him faintly.

More than half an hour later, a woman entered a rich and beautiful room. It was an autumn day, and it was very hot outside. But inside, it was cool and pleasant. When she came in, she felt comfortable all over.

Mother-in-law almost forgot about her business.

Standing in the beautiful boudoir, the rich young lady lazily raised her eyes and said - "

"Yes, Yu Niang." The mother-in-law immediately told everything she had heard. "Back to Yu Niang, the two young masters were openly fighting at the gate of the Duke's Mansion. The Ning Guo Mansion was afraid of the negative impact and deliberately let people spread rumors that the two young masters were The jealousy over the top spot in Jiao Si Fang was actually to cover up that Miss Zhong was also at the farmhouse, but no matter how much Ning Guogong tried to cover it up, Prince Zhao didn't believe it, and he thought it was Miss Zhong who had poisoned her. "

“Have you found out what kind of poison it is?”

"Back to my wife, I found out. Prince Zhao Xiaojun said that the Zhong family became so angry that they gave Su Erniang a Huihun powder and forced the Ning family to cancel the contract. The Ning family said that they had never done this before and there was no antidote."

 Xie Qingyu smiled slightly.

The appearance of Huihunsan's poison is really similar to that of Qihuasan, so the diagnosis is not bad.

 “Okay, go down and keep an eye on me.”

 “Yes, madam.”

Xie Qingyu stood up and slowly walked out of the boudoir, stood in the corridor, and looked at the sky.

It's really surprising that I killed two birds with one stone.

very good!

It was not until Crown Prince Wei came over to break up the fight that he pulled the two young masters apart. Although the two men stopped fighting, their bickering continued. Crown Prince Wei could not stop himself and pulled the two of them to the Holy Lord.

 The Holy Spirit is furious.

 The King of Jin and the Duke of Ning were summoned to the palace overnight. All of a sudden things became a big deal.

Zhao Lan just said, "Ning Gong's mansion is so shameless. In order to get Ning Baniang to marry me, he actually asked a fool to poison my fiancée. The method was really cunning."

Ning Baniang jumped to her feet, "Zhao Lan, what are you talking about? I'll say it again. I wanted to marry you before, but since you weren't willing, our family has given up. You can't just give up when something happens." Put it on my head.”

Ning Qilang also said bitterly, "I really made a mistake. I thought you had the brains to find out this matter, but I didn't expect that you are also an indiscriminate person. From now on, I don't have a brother like you."

Ning Guogong stood in front of the Holy Emperor, with his head slightly bowed and his face expressionless. Except for the emperor's questions, there was one question, and at other times, he didn't even say a word.

King Jin frowned slightly, occasionally looking at his youngest son, occasionally at Ning Guogong, and finally glanced at Ning Baniang twice. If his son hadn't fallen in love with Su Erniang first, the child's temper would have caught his eye - he Children who like straightforwardness.

 Zhao Lan: ...If I knew what he was thinking, I would probably break up with his father.

Having been on the throne for more than half a year, Emperor Jingyuan had not yet cleaned up the mess left by the late emperor, but something unexpected happened to him.

Until the ministers stopped bickering and jumping around, Emperor Jingyuan spoke leisurely, "Zijin—"

 “I am here.”

“I asked Eunuch Tu to see what kind of poison Mrs. Su has, and then cure it for you.”

Zhao Lan knelt down with a bang and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." He kowtowed three times in a row.

 Emperor: …I heard that Zhao Lan and his teacher's daughter were childhood sweethearts and would not marry anyone other than Qing. It seems true.

In the middle of the night, the mother-in-law quietly came to the boudoir again. She stood in front of Xie Qingyu with a nervous look on her face, "Madam... Madam... there was news in the palace that the Holy Emperor sent the palace's master of poisoning to Xishan Farmhouse overnight. I'm afraid it's... We need to find out what the poison is."

Xie Qingyu sat up from the bed and asked, "Eunuch Tu?"

 “Yes, madam.”

 Xie Qingyu bit her lip.

The mother-in-law looked at Xie Qingyu uneasily, "Madam, Mrs. Su's poison was sealed by the poison masters around Prince Zhao Xiao. It can survive for three days. If Eunuch Tu in the palace goes, I'm afraid he will have to be rescued. Well, do you want someone to hurry up before Eunuch Tu goes..."

 The mother-in-law made a clicking motion.

 Xie Qingyu narrowed his eyes.

There was only a copper oil lamp burning in the room, and the light was dim and swaying gently with the airflow of people talking, and the reflected figures swayed with it, like ghosts and sprites.

"No." This is Qihua Powder, and no one in the world can make the antidote except Liu Yifeng.

 But everyone in this world knows that Liu Yifeng is dead. How can a dead man prepare the antidote?

impossible.

She, who was a little flustered just now, suddenly calmed down and smiled slightly, "Go down."

 A day and a night have passed.

I have been waiting for so long, and I don't need to wait another two days and one night.

In the dark night, in a quiet courtyard, Mr. Shen stood in front of the three young masters, "I ordered Su Ji noodles. Please have a bowl first. It's almost dawn. When the city gate opens, everyone." I want to send Eunuch Tu out of the city."

At this moment, Zhao Lan looked very calm, as if he had not heard Mr. Shen's words, but when Shuangrui put the noodle bowl into his hand, he quickly picked up the chopsticks and wolfed down the small bowl of noodles in a few seconds.

 Prince Wei shook his head.

Ning Qilang sighed, "Zhao Zijin, I acted with you, what should I do now? Who is the poisoner?"

Zhao Lan wiped his mouth and said, "Ning Qi, you accompany Eunuch Tu to the Xishan Farmhouse as an excuse to prove your innocence."

Ning Qilang:…

Wei Shizi stopped Zhao Lan who was about to speak, "Don't say it, I know. I don't know where the person who prepared the poison is yet, so I can't take action yet."

Zhao Lan said: "I know, so now I want to 'snatch the enemy.'"

From the moment he left the farmhouse, he started to lay out the dragnet, plots and conspiracies. Now it's time to find out who the right person is.

 “Shuangrui—”

 “Master.”

 “Wear that scarlet brocade suit for me.”

 Shuangrui:…

In addition to being a sign of identity and status, most boys really can't bear to wear such a red color, but Zhao Xiaojun Wang Zhao Lan puts on this outfit and looks peerless wherever he stands.

Prince Wei was shocked and blurted out, "Could it be that the person behind this is a young lady?"

Ning Qilang looked at him like he was an idiot, "If my sister is evil enough, I guess the mastermind behind this is Ning Baniang."

A man who even praises men when he looks at him, do you think there is any young lady with this appearance who can't be a nymphomaniac? It is estimated that all the unmarried ladies in the capital want to marry Zhao Lan.

 Shizi Wei:…

 Using a honey trap to frighten the enemy?
