The four hundred and fortieth chapter death does not change
Shangguan Wan Ning was horrified and rushed forward to seek treatment, but it was already too late.
His pulse stopped, his breathing stopped, and his heart... also stopped beating.
Shangguan Wan Ning looked at him with her eyes widened, as if filled with fear and despair.
"What happened?"
Mu Jingrui asked, looking around, but the crowd dispersed in a hurry, and no one answered his question.
He winked at his guard, who walked away knowingly.
"Ning'er, don't be sad, it's not your fault."
Mu Jingrui saw Shangguan Wan Ning squatting on the ground blankly, looking at the dead person, so he stepped forward and helped her up.
Shangguan Wan Ning closed her eyes sadly, her body trembling slightly.
Not long after they returned to the inn, the guard came back to report.
It turned out that when the middle-aged man learned that Xiao Yikai walked out of the government office safe and sound, he was angry and rushed over again to kill Xiao Yikai.
However, he was no match for Xiao Yikai. Not only did he fail to avenge his daughter, he was also slapped to death by Xiao Yikai in public.
For the crowd of onlookers, the death of this stranger will not have any impact on their lives;
For Xiao Yikai, if this person died, there would be one less trouble.
Shangguan Wan Ning felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do.
She went back to her room sadly.
In the evening, Mu Jingrui received a secret letter from the court. After reading it, he frowned and became a little more worried.
Early the next morning, Mu Jingrui brought breakfast to Shangguan Wan Ning.
"Ning'er, the emperor has given me a secret mission. I have to leave for a few days to do something. It's not safe for you to stay here. I'll send someone to take you to Yaowang Valley. After I finish the matter, I'll go to Yaowang Valley to pick you up.
you."
Shangguan Wan Ning hesitated.
She always felt that her work here was not finished yet. But...she didn't want to be a burden to Mu Jingrui, so she nodded in agreement.
Time was running out. After Mu Jingrui arranged everything, he left four of his master confidants to escort Shangguan Wan Ning and set off at noon.
It was already afternoon when Shangguan Wan Ning packed her bags.
"Miss, do you want to set off again tomorrow?" Lutong looked up at the sky and said with some worry, "It's probably going to rain."
"Princess, let's go. If it really rains, take shelter halfway." The guard kept Mu Jingrui's words in mind and wanted to send Shangguan Wan Ning out of the city as soon as possible.
"That's fine."
Shangguan Wan Ning guessed that this was what Mu Jingrui meant, and she didn't want to embarrass the guards.
Just when the group was about to set off, the housekeeper of Zhongliehou Mansion came slowly in a luxurious sedan.
Shangguan Wan Ning looked at it carefully and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
In the final analysis, this butler is just a servant, but the pomp with which he goes out is actually comparable to that of the local magistrate.
"Old slave, please see the princess." The steward flattered and came forward to salute.
Shangguan Wan Ning didn't want to pay attention at all. She glanced sideways and was about to get on the carriage.
The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
Lutong was furious and stood in front of the carriage with his hands on his hips. "Who are you, and you dare to block the way of my eldest lady? Do you believe that you were treated as an assassin on the spot?"
The housekeeper was startled. He probably had never met a servant more arrogant than him, and he was still a little girl.
"Don't talk nonsense." The housekeeper did not argue with Lu Tong, but handed over a beautiful invitation, "Princess, tonight the Zhonglie Marquis Mansion is hosting a banquet for relatives and friends. My young master Sun officially accepts the beautiful ladies.
As my concubine, I invite you to my house for a wedding drink."
Shangguan Wan Ning was stunned.
The Xiao family's high-profile and domineering attitude has reached the point of forgetfulness.
The reason why Xiao Yujue did not use an imperial edict but sent a private letter to Mu Jingrui to stop the investigation was because he wanted to leave room for maneuver for the Zhonglie Hou Mansion, but they...
"Miss?" Lu Tong saw Shangguan Wan Ning stop and reminded, "Ignore them, let's go."
Shangguan Wan Ning turned around and took the invitation from the butler.
"Go back and tell your Master Sun that I will be there on time to drink his wedding wine tonight."
"Miss?"
"Princess Princess?"
Lu Tong and the guards both changed their expressions, and Lu Tong even pulled Shangguan Wan Ning's sleeve.
"Then I'll be waiting for you, Princess." The butler bowed and got into the sedan.
Lutong stamped her feet anxiously.
"Miss, why did you agree to go to him for a wedding banquet? That guy looks ferocious and has no good intentions at all."
"I know."
Shangguan Wan Ning looked at the invitation and threw it into the carriage. "Although Jingrui and I can't do anything to him for the time being,... it's okay to give him a small lesson."
As she said that, Shangguan Wan Ning raised her fingers at Lutong.
Lu Tong came closer, and she whispered some instructions in Lu Tong's ear.
"Miss, is this okay?"
"Xiao Yikai has a perverse personality and is domineering and confident. He will definitely be fooled. If he is not fooled... then it is his fate."
Shangguan Wan Ning has made up her mind. Neither Lu Tong nor the guards can convince her, so they can only follow her temperament.
When it was time to hold the lantern, Shangguan Wan Ning arrived at the Zhonglie Hou Mansion in a sedan chair.
It was just a concubine, but the house was packed with guests, and all the people coming and going were the powerful squires in the city.
"Brother Xiao is so beautiful and blessed. I have heard that the beautiful girls who can be selected for the palace are all beautiful and fragrant."
"Not only is it worth getting happy to get a beautiful woman, Brother Xiao, even the emperor will give you face. Next year, when I go to Beijing to take the exam, you will also recommend me a good supporter."
"You can talk about this later. Brother Xiao wants to let us see the grace of those beauties tonight."
Xiao Yikai listened to everyone's compliments and drank one cup after another.
At this time, he saw Shangguan Wan Ning walking slowly, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
"If I could marry her...that would be a complete life. Compared with her, all women would become vulgar."
Everyone followed Xiao Yikai's line of sight and saw, as expected, Shangguan Wan Ning, a graceful and graceful figure, walked slowly towards him.
Even if the face is covered with light gauze, it can't conceal the noble and elegant temperament of a girl.
"It's my great fortune that the princess can come." Xiao Yikai stepped forward and bowed, but it was very irregular, and whispered to Shangguan Wan Ning, "If I can sleep with the princess in the bridal chamber tonight,
If we share quilts, we will die without any regrets."
This time, Shangguan Wan Ning was not angry, and her smart eyes swept back and forth on Xiao Yikai's face.
"Really?" Not to be outdone, Shangguan Wan Ning stepped forward and leaned into Xiao Yikai's ear, whispering in a low voice, "Then are you willing to leave the room full of beauties tonight? Do you dare to come to see me alone?
?”
Xiao Yikai was a little surprised, but then his eyes lit up. "As long as the princess informs you of the time and place, I will come and fight even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire."
