Chapter 698： Nightmare strikes

Chapter 698 Nightmare Strikes

Lin Jinshu curiously walked into the snow and caressed the thick manes of Taotao and Kiki. The two little guys lay docilely in the snow without any intention of resisting.

Dabao Lin Ruiwen also walked forward when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Auntie, Taotao and Qiqi like you very much."

"yes?"

As soon as Lin Jinshu finished speaking, Taotao and Qiqi's round pupils looked at Chu Nanzhi full of fear, roared and suddenly jumped up from the snow, and fled immediately.

The splashing snow sprinkled Lin Jinshu all over. She protected Dabao behind her in time, and waited until the tiger cubs had left. Then she calmly patted the snow particles on her body, and looked at Chu Nanzhi in bewilderment: "Odd That's weird, Nan Zhi, why do these two tigers raised by your family look like you are seeing a plague god."

"Because A Niang always hates them."

Erbao Lin Ruixi came over with a smile, looked at the leaving figures of the tiger cubs, and joked with a smirk: "Taotao and Qiqi are not afraid of anyone, but our mother."

Hearing these words, Chu Nanzhi faintly felt some uneasiness.

According to the long-term practice, when the tiger cubs roar wildly and become restless, they are afraid that their dreams will be involved again.

She realized that someone was going to shoot her again.

As for the person behind this, she always felt that she had something to do with Lin Tingyan, the uncle of the Six Emperors, but this person was too good at hiding his strength and biding his time, so she might not be able to find his flaws for a while.

Fortunately, there are two little beasts by my side, they can always give signs in time to avoid risks for themselves.

"Hey, if one day these two little **** are gone, what should I do?"

Muttered to herself, she didn't want to worry about it anymore, she held the little ones back with a gentle smile, and said to Lin Jinshu, "Let's go, the second elder is still waiting in the warm pavilion, let's go in and have dinner."

Although she has been fascinated by the word "dining" used by royal nobles for a long time, she still can't accept it.

Fortunately, Princess Shu is not an outsider, and she will not care about these things with herself.

Arriving in the Nuan Pavilion, the warm air rushed towards their faces. Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinshu took off the cloaks on their bodies, and led the little treasures to sit down in order of seniority. Liu Yun then ordered Tang Weiming to call the people to pass vegetable.

Chang Yanjue was wearing a thick robe and sitting directly above Nie Huai'an. Although his expression was still a little haggard, his complexion was much better than at noon.

Looking at the stretched brows of the two disciples, he probably guessed that the case should be solved, and asked calmly, "How, who murdered Zhang Tingwei?"

"It's hard to believe."

Lin Jinshu sighed and said, "It was Du Jiuzhen, his groom who had been with him for more than 20 years, who murdered the old Tingwei."

"Groom?"

Chang Yanjue and Nie Huai'an looked at each other in shock.

Lin Jinshu nodded and said: "This Du Jiuzhen is a handyman who was sent out from the Lan Palace after the demon concubine was executed. It is not easy to think about it."

"It's an old man from Weilan Palace again."

Chang Yanjue shook his head helplessly.

"Shangguanrou cultivated many party members when he was favored at the beginning, and many of them are still officials in the court, and they have not been affected."

Nie Huai'an was also very confused: "However, although the recent incidents involve old people from the Weilan Palace, they are all insignificant servants who once served in Shangguan Rou Palace, and the power of allegiance is not one person. This is quite strange, the constant attendant Feng Yue was placed by the Queen Mother next to Concubine Yue Gui, and the maid who knew how to disguise herself was brought in by Princess Yan Jun to protect Princess Wanying, and now the groom Du Jiuzhen is loyal to Concubine Yue. Who?"

"Is there such a possibility that these old people in Weilan Palace seem to be scattered everywhere, but in fact they are still loyal to one person?"

Chu Nanzhi looked at the sad look of the two elders, and tried to remind her.

"Could it be that Nan Zhi thinks that the real master behind them is King Beibin?"

Chang Yanjue asked like this, but he directly denied this idea in his heart:

"It's unlikely. Although His Royal Highness was born by Shangguanrou, he was raised by his ancestors since he was a child. This is also the rule established by the Empress Dowager Zhaoxuan for the concubines in the harem. The princes in the palace are all raised by the empress. , but never dared to abolish the imperial edict of the Queen Mother Zhaoxuan, coupled with the fact that the ancestors have always treated people kindly, the Sixth Highness has been close to the ancestors since childhood, and has nothing to do with the people of Weilan Palace."

"Could it be that those old ministers of Jingling who had received the noble concubine of Shangguan were grateful for the kindness of the master's support and supported the Sixth Highness secretly?"

Chu Nanzhi continued to guess.

"It's possible."

Chang Yanjue nodded suspiciously: "It's just that these old officials of Jingling, except for Situ Yang Runchen, have no one else who has the strength to help him participate in the succession, but this Yang Runchen is the third highness who is fancy."

"Situ Yang?"

Nie Huai'an stroked his beard slowly, and began to speculate: "I wonder if Yang Situ recruited people from Weilan Palace to work for Nandu King?"

"Hey, the two elders don't have to worry about it."

Chu Nanzhi persuaded with a smile: "Next, I will interrogate Du Jiuzhen as soon as possible, and see if I can get some clues from his mouth."

Anyway, she has already negotiated a strategy with Princess Shu, and it will be a matter of time before the person behind it will surface.

In front of Liu Yun and Xiaobao, it is not easy to discuss these important court affairs any more, so she immediately changed the subject: "Today, the ancestor let the students take over the Tingwei Mansion, and while I am still in good shape, I will do more for Your Majesty." Do something."

"Oh? Your Majesty actually asked you girl to directly take over the Tingwei Mansion?"

Both Chang Yanjue and Nie Huai'an were a little surprised, but when they thought of the student's outstanding ability, they smiled gratifiedly: "Your Majesty has a unique vision and is able to appoint people on their merits, which shows that His Majesty still has some courage. Blessing."

When the little treasures heard that their mother had become a high official, they were all overjoyed and said with a smile: "Mother, you have finally become an official in the imperial court as you wished. Father will be very happy when he finds out."

"Yes, yes, I have to write a letter to tell you dad and grandpa the news."

Liu Yun didn't expect her daughter to realize her wish so quickly, and she took over the Tingwei Mansion directly. This is more honorable than being a Tingwei Shiyoucha as expected at the beginning, it is really honorable.

In the entire Dahe Empire, not to mention women, no one can be so prominent even as a man.

"Mother, don't worry. After I finish dealing with the affairs of the Tingwei Mansion, I will write a letter to inform my husband and father about the matter in Beijing."

Chu Nanzhi saw that her eyes were filled with tears, and she was filled with emotion.

She and Chu Wenbi had three daughters under their knees. If they hadn't been obsessed with this matter, the old couple would probably have to rely on a few sons-in-law to add honor to the family in this life.

"Good, good, good."

Liu Yun wiped the corners of her eyes excitedly, and hurriedly told everyone: "Hurry up and eat, Princess Lao Shu has been riding on the horse with the little girl for half a day, and she is already hungry, so don't let Her Highness starve."

"You two have merit today, eat more."

Nie Huaian said with a smile.

After finishing dinner in a peaceful atmosphere, no one mentioned anything about Tingwei Mansion after that.

Chu Nanzhi comforted the little treasures to rest, went back to her room, had a conversation with Lin Jinshu and fell asleep.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, the familiar nightmare swept through her mind again. She woke up from the nightmare, and she could see the furnishings in the room dimly.

It's just that this time there was no longer that familiar figure holding her in her arms. Looking at Princess Shu who was soundly asleep, she got up cautiously, went straight to the dressing table by the window and sat down, thinking for a while. Thousands.
