The guards of the General's Mansion heard the noise and rushed over immediately.
Xingfu had already seen clearly what the thing on the ground was. It was a human head, the head of a maid.
His eyes were full of coldness. This was the first day he was responsible for protecting the princess. Who wanted to cause trouble?
When he thought of his master's instructions, he immediately blew the whistle.
After cleaning up the head, the guards of the General's Mansion immediately notified General Ye.
Ye Yining returned to Ningxue Pavilion. When she found out that it was a human head, or a head that Ye Yunjiao's maid liked to see, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Who killed Xijian?
That head just now was clearly aimed at her.
Did someone deliberately scare her in this terrifying way? Or did they want to kill her?
Before she could figure out what was going on, Jun Jiuji had already rushed over at an incredible speed.
"Are you scared?" Jun Jiuji flew into Ningxue Pavilion and hugged the lost little Ning'er into his arms.
Ye Yining's face turned slightly red. She was in a daze just now, but now she was frightened by him.
"I...I'm okay. I didn't see it."
Jun Jiuji pressed her head into his arms and said, holding back the murderous intention gushing out from deep in his heart: "I will make them pay the price."
"Can you find anyone?" Ye Yining was a little worried.
If she could find the murderer, she would also want to kill him.
"Don't worry, you will find it."
Ye Yining was about to speak when she heard her mother's voice coming from outside.
"Ning'er..."
Only then did Ye Yining realize that Jun Jiuji had arrived faster than his mother. He couldn't be nearby, right?
She glanced at him and gently pulled his hand, "My mother is here."
Jun Jiuji reluctantly let go of her, feeling a little dissatisfied with the defense of the General's Mansion.
Mrs. Ye was so frightened that she almost fainted after hearing the news. After seeing that her daughter was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, she realized belatedly that King Ji was also there, but now was not the time to ask questions.
General Ye came back very quickly. Suddenly, someone appeared in the mansion, and he was trying to scare his daughter. This was a big deal, so he immediately sent someone to notify Jingzhao Mansion.
There was a commotion in the General's Mansion yesterday, and today it has become the talk of the capital again. It is really helpless.
Ye Yining is also very depressed. Her parents can't have a good meal today.
Half an hour later, the General's Mansion was full of people again, and every person who came had to comfort Ye Yining. She felt irritated, so she found an opportunity and went to the kitchen.
Jun Jiuji gave a few instructions to Mr. Li of Jingzhao Mansion, and then said to General Ye: "Let the general's manor be re-defended in the next two days. Ning'er, I will take him back to Prince Ji's Mansion to stay for two days."
General Ye suddenly lost his composure, "Your Highness King Ji, this is against the rules!"
Although his daughter has been married to King Ji, she has not yet gotten married!
"Rules are set by people. I have just received the news that the person who took action this time is someone from Thousand Hands Pavilion. Someone paid 30,000 taels of gold to buy a maid's head in order to threaten the eldest lady of the Ye family. I won't tell you.
I also know that the selection of this maid was definitely not random. Therefore, it is very likely that someone in your house targeted Ning'er and used a knife to kill someone. The general's house is not safe until the murderer is eliminated."
General Ye: "..."
Can he say that if the General's Mansion is not safe, Prince Ji's Mansion may not be safe either!
Thousand Hands Pavilion is a famous killer organization in the world.
"Since General Ye has no objection, it's decided." Jun Jiusi made the final decision directly.
Mrs. Ye was extremely anxious beside her, but King Ji was too overbearing. He seemed to be asking for their consent, but in fact there was no room for negotiation at all.
She wanted to reject King Ji's proposal, but she was really worried about what King Ji said and her daughter's safety.
Just as she was struggling, King Ji said again: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Ning'er."
"How about asking Ning'er what she wants!" General Ye struggled a bit.
When Ye Yining came over with a food box and found out that Jun Jiuji wanted her to live in Prince Ji's Mansion, she was no longer calm.
Originally, she wanted to refuse directly, but looking at Jun Jiuji's eyes as deep as the sea, she suddenly couldn't say anything, so she had to be tactful.
"Didn't you ask Xingsuke and Ye Ze to come over and protect me? There shouldn't be any danger anymore!"
"Prince Ji's Mansion has more people to protect you. If nothing else happens, we will go to Yunbian City early."
Ye Yining blinked, "How about I go to Prince Ji's Mansion tomorrow afternoon? I promised my mother to go to Changling Temple to ask for a peace charm tomorrow. I also plan to ask for one for you!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye quickly nodded, "Yes, we will go to Changling Temple tomorrow. If you want to go to Yunbian City early, let Ning'er prepare before going to Prince Ji's Mansion tomorrow! Let's send more people to guard Ningxue tonight.
Outside the pavilion."
Jun Jiuji's eyes stayed on Xiao Ning'er's face for a moment, and finally gave in.
"Okay, I will escort you to Changling Temple tomorrow."
Ye Yining really couldn't refuse this time, so she could only nod.
"Have you eaten?" Ye Yining put the food box on the table and asked casually when she saw Jun Jiuji still looking at her.
"No. Did Xiao Ning'er prepare this for me?"
Ye Yining reluctantly opened the food box and divided the shredded chicken porridge into four small bowls. She gave a bowl to Jun Jiuji and a bowl to each of her parents, leaving the last bowl for herself. Jun Jiuji actually didn't care what he ate, but Xiao Ning'er sat next to him and ate, which made him very happy.
General Ye's mood was a bit complicated at first, but when he saw King Ji's eyes always on Ning'er, he felt inexplicably better.
It’s a good thing that King Ji is interested in his daughter.
After thinking about it, he took another sip of shredded chicken porridge, and there was a smile on his face.
Food can also make you feel better.
……
At the same time, Ye Yunjiao lost her temper in her yard.
Not only did she smash all the porcelain vases in the room, but she even pinched several maids on the pretext of being in a bad mood.
"Has Jingzhao Mansion found the murderer?" Ye Yunjiao glared at the maid kneeling on the ground.
God knows, she was actually nervous and scared to death.
She arranged Xijian's death, but this way of death was not her intention.
She was really afraid that someone would find out about her.
She knew very well that there were people secretly trying to kill Ye Yining. This was a good thing, but if it involved her, it would be a disaster.
"Second Miss, the murderer is someone from Thousand Hands Pavilion."
When Ye Yunjiao heard this, she became even more panicked. She was the one who spent three thousand taels to find Sha Xijian from Thousand Hands Pavilion. She shouldn't be found out, right?
"Is my sister okay?" After pretending to be angry, she calmed down a lot and asked about business.
"The eldest lady is probably frightened. The general, his wife, and His Highness Prince Ji have been staying with her in Ningxue Pavilion. Prince Ji seems to want to take her to live in Prince Ji's Mansion..."
"I'm not feeling well. Go and tell my parents. I have a meeting with my master and servant Xijian, and I want to perform a ritual for Xijian."
"Yes."
After the maid left, Ye Yunjiao pressed her chest, which was still aching a little irritably.
Prince Ji was really a cruel person. Although his palm did not kill her, she would feel a stinging sensation in her chest as long as she moved harder.
The imperial doctor said that it would take a month or two to recover, but if she really waited that long, how would she get to Yunbian City?
This is all Ye Yining's fault. The slap she received that day will be returned to her a thousand times or a hundred times.
If you can't move her for the time being, then you should start with Ye Hanxiao. Without Ye Hanxiao, Ye Yining will have less to rely on.
After thinking about this, her mood improved instantly.
As long as she goes to Yunbian City and receives the money and power left to her by her biological father, Ye Yining's death will be just around the corner.
