Ever since Feng Ningyan met Shen Ling Jue, he had never been this nervous.
Even today, when he was before the emperor and the officials' wives, he was able to easily expose the conspiracy between the civil administration and the crown prince, as if he was playing around with them.
Now, from his words, he didn't even have the time to explain himself. Looks like it was truly a heaven-defying matter.
What big thing would happen in Prince Yu's mansion?
Feng Ning Yan sat up, and fiercely punched her leg, "Feng Ning Yan! You can't find out the case! Shen Ling Jue needs someone to help him, but you're stuck here unable to help him! Just what use do you have?! "
"Of course it's useful! "Since you are the princess consort, the greatest contribution is to open up a branch and scatter a leaf for your highness, King Yu."
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. An enigmatic Senior Servant Xu walked in, holding a blue embroidery needle and thread in her hand as she sat beside Feng Ning Yan with a smile.
"Esteemed wangfei, you really have the fortune of three lifetimes to be able to marry our Prince Yu." "He's the kind of person who would stand up straight when the sky's falling. How could he let an imperial concubine worry about him?"
As he said that, he picked up an embroidery needle and lightly rubbed it on his hair a few times before starting to embroider.
While she was embroidering, she chattered on, "Why do you think all those empress dowager from previous dynasties claimed to be sorrowful? She had countless filial children and children. Her status was the highest in the palace, but she was still 'grieving' because she didn't have the man who had helped her raise the heavens. How pitiful … So you have to cherish it, Princess. "
Feng Ning Yan's mind was in a mess. Since Senior Servant Xu was still here, she was really a bit agitated.
"Xu mama Xu, there's no need for you to embroider flowers in the prince's study, is there?"
Xu mama raised her head to look at her and smiled. "Of course not. This old servant is watching over the wangfei on behalf of the prince to prevent her from running around and wrapping him up."
"Disorder?" Feng Ning pounded her chest that was like a giant boulder. "Am I that childish?"
Xu mama said, "It's not that the wangfei is childish, it's that you absolutely can't involve yourself in this case."
It seemed like Senior Servant Xu was trying to explain for Shen Ling Jue, but the more Feng Ning Yan listened, the more curious she became.
"Xu mama, what exactly do you mean by this?"
"Princess, you still don't understand my painstaking efforts …" The death of Greene had something to do with the loss of something in the hidden compartment. The nature of the case now was not a simple murder case, but involved a shocking conspiracy. The Princess has to stay away from this conspiracy. Only then will she be safe. "
Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but want to get to the bottom of this, "Just what kind of scheme is it?"
Xu mama suddenly changed the topic. "Come, come, come. Wangfei, have a look at the tripe this old servant has embroidered for the future young princess. How about this?"
Feng Ning immediately grabbed a pillow and fell asleep.
"I've troubled Senior Servant. I just didn't want to run around everywhere, did I?" I'm sleeping, this should be fine, right? "
When Xu mama saw this, she nodded in satisfaction. "This old servant will just say that wangfei is extremely intelligent and knows when to do something. "Go to sleep. This old servant will just work here and not go anywhere else."
Feng Ning Yan clenched her teeth and grabbed a pillow to cover her ears.
If you say "I'm not going anywhere," why don't you just say so and tell me not to go anywhere!
Shen Ling Jue walked out of Linlang Pavilion, and Jing Qi stepped forward to welcome him.
"To the Star Platform." Shen Ling Jue ordered in a low voice, walking forward like the wind.
The ninth level of the Star Platform was the tallest building in the capital. It was originally built for viewing the stars and appreciating the moon. However, its most important function was not to view the stars but to monitor the moon.
In this kind of emergency, Shen Ling Jue definitely did not go to the Star Platform to look at the stars.
When Jing Qi heard this, he understood the seriousness of the situation, "They're coming?"
Shen Ling Jue nodded his head: "It's finally here."
He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
As he walked quickly, he ordered, "Pass this king's orders. First, seal off all passages outside the manor and the secret surveillance manor."
"Second, activate the shadow guard, carry out emergency defense, and reduce the number of guards near the back mountain in three batches, waiting for the results;"
"Third, inform Miss Luo to close the first and second layers of the Thousand Blessings Pavilion. Prepare to catch a turtle in a jar and leave a few survivors for this king."
"Yes sir!"
Jing Qi immediately gave the order and followed Shen Lingjue up to the Star Platform.
Standing on the flying star platform, Shen Lingjue and Jingqi picked up the faraway mirror. They could see everything about the palace in front of them.
The shadow guards were already in position like shadows, and the guards had also adjusted the layout.
They had secretly practiced countless times and were so familiar with each step that they would never forget it even in their dreams. The defense at each position was precise and effective, like a huge fishing net that was just waiting for the enemy to sneak in.
Shen Ling Jue looked at the quiet Thousand Blessings Pavilion in the distance, his eyes glinting with a cold light.
Jing Qi asked, "Prince, is Lu Ruo related to this matter?"
Shen Ling Jue's eyes turned cold, he could not help but look at Linlang Pavilion from the distant mirror.
"Yes, Green Ruo is the most effective chess piece for the opponent. She stole something from the secret compartment."
"Why is it her?" Jing Qi said regretfully, "If the wangfei knew that Lu Lu betrayed her, I'm afraid it would be very painful."
Shen Ling Jue's hand tightened slightly as he put down the viewing mirror.
"Any progress on the case?"
Jing Qi reported, "We've checked all the hidden places near the water, but we didn't find anything. As for the guards and servants that Green Ruo came in contact with, she investigated them one by one. It was impossible for them to have a secret relationship with her. However, there was still another place that Lu Lu had been to. Moreover, there had been a man outside of the mansion before. It was very possible that it was the scene of a murder. However, due to the special status of the people living inside, we have yet to give the order to search. "
Shen Ling Jue's eyes suddenly lit up: "Water Curtain Small Foundation? Longqing class? "
Jing Qi nodded her head, "This subordinate has already given the order to seal Little Jian tightly, cutting off all possibility of news being transmitted from there. At this moment, Chu Zhao is secretly interrogating Little Jian Wei'er. Longqing Class has already been controlled, and this subordinate believes that we'll soon find out who the culprit is. "
Shen Lingjue coldly replied, "Very good."
In Linlang Pavilion, even though Feng Ningyan was slightly sleepy after drinking some Spirit Calming Tea, there were too many doubts in her heart. Her mind was filled with thoughts and she could not sleep at all.
This King Yu's Estate was simply too strange. It was a luxurious and relaxed place like a landscape garden, but it had actually been constructed with a heavy mechanism.
And in Shen Ling Jue's study room, there was actually a hidden mechanism. What kind of amazing thing was hidden in the priceless Night Pearl box that could make him feel as if he was facing a great enemy?
He was facing a great enemy?
Thinking of this word, Feng Ningyan's thoughts suddenly seemed to draw a line.
Shen Ling Jue's enemies were the crown prince and Shen You Huang.
In her previous life, Shen Youhuang had used gunfire to raze the palace to the ground, which was why she wanted to use Feng Ning Yan's secret communication with King Yu as a pretext to cover up her massacre of her brother.
Now that he thought about it, if he wanted Shen Ling Jue's life, there were countless methods that he could use to destroy everything silently.
Could it be because …
