Dingjiangshan

Jiang Xuan looked at Ning Yan suspiciously for a while, not sure if he saw something.

Ning Yan didn't rush, but just looked at her quietly.

After a while, luckily got the upper hand, Jiang Xuan gritted her teeth, stood up from the ground with weak hands and feet, turned around and went out again.

Nan Xin didn't expect such a change, so she hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to stop Jiang Xuan or let nature take its course.

After she hesitated like this, Jiang Xuan had already walked out of the palace door. Ning Yan casually reached out his hand to comfort the restless little mink in his sleeve, reached out to take the wine glass, and drank the last half glass of cold wine in one gulp.

——Are you drunk, Nan Xin thought suspiciously.

In the half cup of tea that Jiang Xuan went back and forth, Nan Xin had already thought about many kinds of Ning Yan's reactions in his mind, even including his sudden attack, how to push Jiang Xuan to death in the shortest time, so as not to let He took advantage of the topic and attacked Ruan Yin.

The more Nan Xin thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She was not sure what Ning Yan was thinking, so she decided to add an extra layer of protection.She walked lightly against the wall and walked to the door. When she realized that Ning Yan was not paying attention to her, she felt relieved a little, and gestured to Linglong who was guarding outside the door, pointing in the direction of Renshou Palace.

Linglong nodded knowingly, took a step back, and walked out under the cover of the shadow.

During this back and forth, Jiang Xuan has already walked back with a soup bowl.

She had lingering fears about the mink in Ning Yan's sleeve, and she didn't dare to approach Ning Yan like she did just now, but put the bowl on the table and pushed it towards him.

"Your Majesty." Jiang Xuan said, "Here comes the hangover soup."

There was no further trouble this time, Ning Yan knew that he didn't ask any more questions, so he reached out to take the bowl, shook the soup inside, and drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Xuan clenched her fingers subconsciously when he took the first sip, and then realized that she seemed too nervous, and then slowly relaxed.

Ning Yan finished the bowl of soup with Jiang Xuan's uneasy expression, then put the bowl on the table, and complained softly: "...so sour."

"Yes...is it?" Jiang Xuan forced a smile: "The concubine has put a lot of rock sugar, I don't know if His Majesty will still feel sour."

"En." Ning Yan didn't say anything, but just ordered: "...play more next time."

Jiang Xuan was beating drums in his heart, and didn't delve into what he meant by "next time".

"Your Majesty." Jiang Xuan hurriedly signaled Nan Xin to come over and take the bowl away. She blocked Ning Yan's sight with a smile, reached out to support his arm, and said softly, "It's getting late outside, you should go back."

Ning Yan didn't know if he listened or not, so he nodded indiscriminately, and stood up following her movements.

Jiang Xuan didn't want to keep Ning Yan to stay overnight in Luoyun Palace. Although she stayed in the harem in the name of "concubine", she never planned to tie the rest of her life to Ning Yan, and of course she was not willing to make "dedication" Such a big sacrifice to come.

The conditions that Ruan Yin offered her at the beginning were several times more than what Ning Yan could offer her. Of course, she had to leave a way out for herself to enjoy her "reward".

Jiang Xuan helped Ning Yan out of the door, and He Wenting was already waiting at the door with the frame.Renshou Palace is not close to Luoyun Palace, and before Linglong had time to come back, He Wenting helped Ning Yan get into the car, and asked casually, but was fooled by Nan Xin, who only said that Linglong suddenly had a stomachache and went to the car. Changing clothes.

Ning Yan in the car seemed uncomfortable, and called He Wenting vaguely. He Wenting's attention was quickly taken away by him, and he had no time to care about Linglong's whereabouts.

When Jiang Xuan went out, she sneakily put on a veil, and now in front of the maids and servants outside, she returned to her previous indifferent and distant appearance, and did not send Ning Yan too much, and slightly blessed her body, seeing He got into the car, turned around and went back, and asked someone to close the palace gate.

Ning Yan came to Luoyun Palace today much later than usual, and had dinner and a lot of trouble, it was already late at night.

He sat in the car with his front feet, and the drunkenness on his face disappeared.

Jiang Xuan had something on his mind today, and he didn't even have the most fundamental caution. After dinner, he didn't realize that what he drank was not wine at all, but a fermented sweet syrup.

This thing was brought in from the Jiangnan area. It smells like fruit wine, but it tastes like fruit syrup boiled with sugar, not intoxicating at all.

After all, time is too tight, Ruan Yin didn't find anyone she likes, if Ruan Yin's confidant came to eat this meal, they would not be so easy to fool.

Ning Yan pulled out his sleeves, took out the little mink who was struggling inside, and rubbed its ears.

He smiled, shook the little mink lightly, and said in a low voice, "You surprised me too today."

Xiao Diao was very dissatisfied with his "violent" suppression just now, twisted his body, grabbed his index finger in one bite, and ground his teeth.

Ning Yan smiled and rubbed its paws, and fed it a piece of jerky from his purse.

Today is a special day, but not many people know about it.When Ning Zongyuan sent Ning Yan to Prince Gong's mansion, in order not to startle the snake, he didn't make it known to the world with a big fanfare.To this day, apart from him and Ning Huaijin, the only ones who knew about this day were the "Queen" Ruan Yin who was in the palace at that time.

Therefore, Ning Yan had already guessed that Ruan Yin would try to start from this day, but Ning Yan also needed a chance for Jiang Xuan to "break through" his defense line and gain his "trust", so he pushed the boat along and caught the trick.

In fact, this method is also very risky. If Jiang Xuan is a coward, she may not take Ning Yan's step, but will become more cautious because of Ning Yan's abnormality.

According to Ning Yan's usual temperament, he would seldom choose this kind of risky move, but would plan it slowly, and slowly smooth Jiang Xuan's suspicion with "love" over time.

But not now.

He didn't have much time left for himself, so he had to hurry up.

After eating the piece of jerky, Xiao Diao was not satisfied, hooked Ning Yan's sleeve with his claws, and whimpered twice.

Jiang Xuan added something to the hangover soup, which Ning Yan already knew very well - he was just skeptical at first, but after seeing Xiao Diao knocked over the soup bowl, he believed it in his heart.

However, this is a good thing for Ning Yan. He was worried that Ruan Yinzhan was thinking too much before and after, and he didn't dare to let him go. Even more decisive, it seemed to save him a lot of trouble.

As for himself - he always has to give some sweetness to attract people into the game, Ning Yan thought.

Anyway, Ruan Yin didn't have the guts to poison the palace and kill the king, and Ning Yan didn't care about anything else.

But Xiao Diao was an accident, even Ning Yan himself didn't expect it to pop out suddenly.It wasn't until I thought about it carefully that maybe it was because of the little mink's nose that he could distinguish the dirty things in the bowl better than humans.

Although he almost did something bad with good intentions, it was considered "rescuing him". Ning Yan absently patted its head and gave it another piece of jerky.

Xiao Diao won two rewards in one night, and immediately forgot about the awkwardness, rolled in Ning Yan's arms on the spot, and rolled onto Ning Yan's lap with the jerky in his arms.

Ning Yan knocked on the car window and called out, "He Wenting."

He Wenting responded outside the car.

"What happened to Zheng Shaohui?" Ning Yan asked, "Any news?"

"It was just now that the news came back quickly." He Wenting took out a letter from his sleeve, passed it in through the car window, and said, "It's just that you are in the Luoyun Palace and don't ask anyone to disturb you, so I didn't get through. pass."

Ning Yan pushed open the car window halfway, and tore open the envelope in his hand by the light of the candle hanging on the car.

Zheng Shaohui took people from the imperial army to investigate Jiang Xuan's life experience, and he did not hide his whereabouts along the way. When he arrived, he entered the government office openly.

When they arrived there, it took less than a day to find Jiang Xuan's family.It was Zheng Shaohui's first time to take someone out to do errands since he was on duty, and he strived for perfection. He not only found Jiang Xuan's mother's house, but also combed the side branches around her.

When this letter was sent out, Zheng Shaohui had already visited Jiang's house.According to what he said, only Jiang Xuan's mother seemed to know where Jiang Xuan was going. Others, including Jiang Xuan's biological father and neighbors, said that Jiang Xuan was only visiting relatives in the border town.

This is not quite right, Ning Yan thought, the Shu family is an official family after all, and the civil servants are clean, even if they want to find a child from a distant relative's family to charm, they don't have to sneak into their own family and don't know.

Zheng Shaohui obviously also felt that there was something tricky about this matter, so he not only checked the Jiang family, but also checked other people.

According to Zheng Shaohui's finding out the household registrations of the Du and Jiang families within three generations from the government office, it is not the Du family that is related to the Shu family, but the Jiang family.Look for the household registration and genealogical records. Three generations ago, the Shu and Jiang families moved very closely, and there were also your in-laws.

There seems to be no flaws in the list, but it may be because of intuition. Zheng Shaohui thought about it all night, but felt that he was not at ease. To prove the connection between the Jiang family and the Shu family.

The border town was Xie Jue's place, and he spoke happily. Hearing that the imperial army wanted to investigate the case, he hurriedly sent over the copied household registration list.

Probably no one expected that Zheng Shaohui would be so serious. In short, as soon as the household registration of Biancheng arrived and the hatchback was compared, the basket was found.

According to the household registration in Liangzhou and the family tree of the Jiang family, three generations ago, the Jiang and Shu families moved around a lot, and there were a few cases where you married me.But Zheng Shaohui looked through the copy in the border town three times, but he couldn't find a single word about the Shu family in the Jiang family's household registration book.

This can only explain one problem - the Shu family has nothing to do with the Jiang family, and the household registration in Liangzhou has been tampered with.

After realizing this, Zheng Shaohui did not dare to act rashly.He didn't say anything about it, but sealed the list of border towns, threw it in the brazier and burned it.

"Your Majesty." Zheng Shaohui finally wrote in the letter: "I can conclude that Jiang Xuan is not related to the Shu family."
