Chapter 54 Poor Acting Nalan Zhenhai was silent for a long time, "In that case, I will leave this case to you. If the murderer is not found within a month, I will let you be buried with him."
"Father, this matter should be handled by the Ministry of Punishment," Nalan Nanxian said hurriedly, "It is unreasonable to leave it to my sister-in-law."
"When do I need your approval for my king's decision?" His words were frivolous but full of danger.
"I don't dare." Nalan Nanxian immediately lowered his head.
Jing Yirong snorted coldly, "It's useless."
Nalan Nanxian glared at Jing Yirong. Nalan Zhenhai left the third prince's palace with a room of servants. Jing Yirong looked at Nalan Zhenhai's back. The owner of this country, in order to protect the country,
He knew in his heart how many lives he had to sacrifice, including his biological son at the critical moment. But when the flesh and blood were really gone, the pain was unavoidable.
After Nalan Zhenhai left, Nalan Nanxian also stood up and prepared to leave.
"Since my father has handed over this matter to me, I have to handle it according to my own ideas. If I offend any of you princes in the process of finding the murderer, I hope you can
Forgive me," Jing Yirong immediately gave his notice while everyone was still there.
Nalan Nanxian glared at Jing Yirong unwillingly and left. None of the princes looked down upon Jing Yirong. In the huge main hall, apart from the third prince's original servants, only Jing Yirong and his party were left.
.
Although Nalan Qingyi lied for Jing Yirong, his attitude towards Jing Yirong was still mild, "I'll go back first."
"Wait a minute," Jing Yirong stopped Nalan Qingyi, "You just lied for me, I..."
"What I want is not your thank you," Nalan Qingyi interrupted Jing Yirong, "You understand that what I want is never your thank you. You can't give me what I want, and I don't need anything else from you.
"
After Nalan Qingyi said that, he walked away without looking back. Jing Yirong stood there in vain, Nalan Qingyi, what do you want? If you just cared about me, I would have given it to you.
"Crown Princess," Xiao Yan couldn't bear to step forward to break Jing Yirong's silence. In fact, the Crown Prince may not have noticed that the Crown Princess actually cared for him more than anyone else.
Jing Yirong came back to her senses, approached the third prince, stretched out her hand to touch his eyes, "Close your eyes, and I will catch the person who killed you." Withdrawing her hand, the third prince's eyes had been closed, and a slave immediately
Crying loudly, "The Crown Princess's slaves have done this dozens of times since they found the master, but the master just can't close his eyes. Now you just caressed him gently, and the master closed his eyes. Think about it."
Master believes in you. At first, the slaves thought the murderer was really the Crown Princess, but now the slaves no longer doubt the Crown Princess. The slaves beg the Crown Princess to find out the murderer of the master."
Jing Yirong waved his hand, "Get up. I think you may have made a mistake. Your master and I don't have a good relationship. If he hadn't been killed by someone else last night, sooner or later he would have died in my hands.
I'm not looking for the murderer because of Nalan Zhenhai's order, let alone your master. I'm looking for the murderer just to tell him that he will die if he steals my prey."
The servants in the same room looked surprised. Before they could recover, Jing Yirong had already left.
……………
In the womb of the Crown Prince, in front of the dinner table.
Nalan Zhenqi held the rice bowl and said, "Master, how are you going to find the murderer? Has the murderer left any clues?"
"No." Jing Yirong took a piece of meat and put it in Nalan Zhenqi's bowl.
"Then how do you want to find the master?" Nalan Zhenqi was puzzled.
Jing Yirong smiled slightly, "He won't disappear so easily. I believe he will appear again."
"It's so mysterious, the princess must be careful." Xiao Yan said worriedly.
"I'm fine," Jing Yirong's eyes calmly fell on Nalanzhi Jin, who had been lowering his head to pick up rice.
Since that incident, he has been very cold towards Nalan Zhijin. Nalan Zhijin will no longer act coquettishly with him like before. No matter what he does, he will always look at his own face before acting. Such caution makes Jing Yi
Rong occasionally feels distressed.
Picking up a chicken leg and putting it into Nalan Zhijin's bowl, "My agreement with you is nine years later, so I won't touch you until you are fifteen years old. You don't need to be so timid, I said
I hate useless men."
"Yes." The joy that flashed in Nalanzhi's eyes slowly faded away because of Jing Yirong's words. He lowered his head and said softly: "It's no longer nine years. There are only three days left, and there are only eight years left."
.”
Jing Yirong was speechless. She had almost forgotten that the New Year was coming, and the new year was in three days. Nalan Zhijin was seven years old, and she was 19.
Nalan Qingyi's seat at the dinner table is still empty. I wonder if he will calm down on New Year's Eve.
The matter between Jing Yirong and Yu Yingxuan didn't seem to be solved that easily. I don't know who leaked the secret. The fact that Jing Yirong and Yu Yingxuan appeared together in the restaurant gradually spread in the palace, and the entire palace began to
Discussions about Jing Yirong's indiscretions also occasionally included her and Nalan Nanxian's affairs. It was said that several servants saw Jing Yirong and Nalan Nanxian together behind the rockery in the palace many times.
Xiao Yan was very angry about these rumors, but Jing Yirong was calm and calm. She never paid much attention to what strangers said. Usually there are only two consequences for people who criticize her. One is that she disdains it, and the other is death. Of course in the palace
She can't kill everyone who talks about her.
The only thing that makes me confused is that Nalan Qingyi's attitude towards Jing Yirong is even colder because of these rumors. Sometimes he can't even see Nalan Qingyi for a whole day. Jing Yirong sneered, men are the same, they will only believe these things.
There are rumors, so my expectations for Nalan Qingyi are getting less and less.
Both Nalan Zhijin and Nalan Zhenqi felt the change between the prince brother and their master. They wanted to help but always felt helpless. In the past, it was Nalan Qingyi who had always bowed his head. This time, if even Nalan Qingyi doesn't
If they lower their heads, the relationship between them will only become more and more tense. The most important thing is that New Year's Eve is coming soon, and the palaces of other princes are full of joy, but the palace of their prince is deserted.
Nalan Zhijin finally thought of a way, and after telling Xiao Yan and Nalan Zhenqi, they both thought it was feasible, and the three of them started to implement it. They wanted to have a safe and stable New Year, and after the New Year, they would help the master find the murderer.
Woolen cloth.
On this day, Nalan Zhenqi and Nalan Qingyi were playing chess in the pavilion, while Nalan Zhijin looked on.
When the three of them were concentrating, a black figure suddenly appeared and stabbed Nalan Qingyi with a sword in his hand. Nalan Zhenqi immediately stepped forward to take the attack and hit the man in black on the arm, causing the man in black to
The sword thrust missed and only scratched Nalan Qingyi's clothes.
Nalan Zhenqi and the man in black began to fight each other in the pavilion. Gradually, Nalan Zhenqi began to be unable to catch the man in black's moves. Nalan Zhijin immediately shouted, "I'm going to
"Look for the master," and ran away.
The man in black wanted to arrest Nalan Zhijin but was helplessly stopped by Nalan Zhenqi. Nalan Zhenqi held the sword of the man in black and secretly glanced at Nalan Qingyi to make sure he didn't see him before speaking, "Xiao
Sister Yan, the sword you struck just now was too harsh, and you almost really hurt the prince."
"If I don't stab him harder, it won't be true." Yes, Xiao Yan is the man in black, and this is what Nalan Zhijin wants to do.
The two fought for a while, and saw Jing Yirong approaching from a distance. Xiao Yan immediately leaned towards Nalan Zhenqi and said, "The Crown Princess is here. You made a mistake and asked me to catch the Crown Prince."
"Okay." After Nalan Zhenqi said this, he took a few steps back and fell to the ground as if his body could not withstand Xiao Yan's sword energy.
Xiao Yan immediately grabbed Nalan Qingyi with a sword in one hand, lowered her voice and said to Nalan Zhenqi: "If you take one step closer, I will kill him."
Nalan Zhenqi looked panicked and immediately rushed to meet Jing Yirong, "Master, please save the prince brother quickly."
Xiao Yan looked at Jing Yirong's sharp gaze and couldn't help but shudder, "Jing Yirong, don't come over, or I will kill him!" After saying that, she moved the sword in her hand closer to Nalan.
Qingyi's neck got closer.
Jing Yirong looked calm and frowned slightly, "What do you want?"
"Ah." Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Jing Yirong to be so easy to talk to. Then she calmed down and spoke again, "You can let me let him go, but you can pay for it with your own life."
Nalan Zhenqi secretly gave Xiao Yan a thumbs up to express encouragement.
Jing Yirong looked at Nalan Qingyi quietly. They had not seen each other for two days, but she felt like she was suddenly separated from the world. Nalan Qingyi's gentle and perennially smiling brows had a hint of sadness.
There was also bitterness in his eyes.
Nalan Qingyi looked at Jing Yirong silently, wanting to hold her in his arms every time, but he was always stung by the coldness and sharpness of her life.
Seeing the two of them looking at each other in silence, Xiao Yan coughed and said, "Ahem, what are you looking at? You still haven't answered my question. Are you willing to trade your life for his?"
Jing Yirong glanced at Xiao Yan, with helplessness in her tone, "Xiao Yan, just act more realistically."
Xiao Yan looked at Jing Yirong in shock, the sword in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and she pulled off the black scarf on her face, "Princess, how did you know?"
Jing Yirong glanced at Nalan Zhijin, "If your prince brother is really in danger, will you leave easily to find reinforcements? I'm afraid you won't leave him easily even if you fight to the death." After speaking, he looked at Nalan Zhenqi.
, "If your martial arts skills are really only at this level in the past six months, don't call me master in the future." Finally, she turned to Xiao Yan, "Do you think there are many people who use swords with their left hand? And your sword is still far away from his neck.
With half an inch of distance, do you think the assassin would be so relaxed? The biggest flaw is that your acting skills are really terrible, Nalan Zhenqi, don’t think I didn’t see your thumbs up."
The three of them looked at each other and lowered their heads in embarrassment. Why did they ignore Jing Yirong's cleverness.
Nalan Qingyi picked up the sword and handed it to Xiao Yan, "Don't do this again. If the guards see it, they will mistake it for real."
"Prince, have you noticed it too?" Xiao Yan was surprised.
"Yes." Nalan Qingyi smiled softly, "Although I don't know martial arts, I have watched you and your seventh brother practice a lot, and I feel that the moves are somewhat similar." Nalan Qingyi touched it gently again.
Touching Nalan Zhenqi's forehead, he smiled and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Jing Yirong said, Nalan Qingyi stopped in his tracks but did not turn around.
Jing Yirong continued: "Since they even put on a show to get us to talk, why can't we have a good talk?"
