I won the world for the queen
Chapter 32
But when she got to the place, Jiang Li was dumbfounded. She was dragged to a corner by Qi Ning, and she watched helplessly that the Song family was surrounded by officers and soldiers, holding knives, guns and sticks in their hands. They felt stricter than the guards in the palace. Even though it was raining and the night was so dark, Jiang Li could still see the big "Song" character on the waists of those officers and soldiers at a glance. Google search "book title site name"
"Is this Song Quanshi's own family soldier?" Jiang Li really couldn't think of any other reason. It stands to reason that it was just a murder case, and it was far from being as mobilizing as Dali Temple. Could it be that Song Quanshi's wife and children were afraid of their own house? stolen?
Qi Ning resisted not looking down on her, pointed to an officer and soldier in the distance, and carefully taught her to recognize it: "Look, the character 'Song' is very obvious on the accessories around these people's waists, the reason why you can see it even in the dark The words on the waist card are clear, because those words are inlaid with gold silk and stroked."
Qi Ning's tone was a bit slow, he stared at the officers and soldiers walking around, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "This is Song Ze's family soldiers, probably all of them have been sent here."
"Song Ze?!" Jiang Li was a little shocked. This seemingly brainless and greasy person would actually send out all his family soldiers at such a time, just to guard an empty house.
Who is he guarding against?Jiang Li couldn't figure it out for a while. At this time, all the hostages who could obtain evidence had been invited to Dali Temple. It stands to reason that there was no need to send family soldiers to protect an empty shell. But with the departure of the Song family's wife and children, those The soldiers were as immovable as a mountain, still standing here firmly, every time the guards were changed so seamlessly, I'm afraid not even a mosquito could fly in.
Qi Ning looked at Jiang Li's expression and knew that her mind had finally started to turn, and she began to analyze by herself: "You can see that something is wrong, Song Aiqing may not be as innocent as she appears on the surface, or she has been used. And What the current situation has caused us is that it is completely impossible to sneak in, and it is even more impossible to look for evidence everywhere as you planned."
After Qi Ning finished speaking, she leaned on the corner with her hands crossed over her chest. Fortunately, the coir raincoat was protected from the rain. Her clothes only wet the corners of the skirt. Jiang Li was not used to wearing ancient clothes, so the ends of her hair were wet at the moment , There are also many raindrops on his face.
Seeing that Qi Ning didn't panic at all even in the face of this situation, he was a little anxious, and while wiping the rain on his face, he said: "This, this... Your Majesty, hurry up and come up with an idea, or else we will be together tonight." This trip is considered to be for nothing, and it rained so much?"
Seeing her in such a mess, Qi Ning frowned subconsciously, not quite understanding why Jiang Li was drenched so badly, she looked at the soldiers standing guard over there, turned her head and handed Jiang Li a square handkerchief.
"Take this and wipe it. It's absolutely impossible to return without success tonight." Of course, Qi Ning has his own way, and Jiang Li suddenly believed it. It may be thousands of times and hundreds of times more difficult than this, but the evidence was still obtained under the nose of the original owner, and the original owner was caught off guard in the end.
Jiang Li didn't mind at all, so she took the handkerchief and gently wiped off the rainwater on her face, then put it away close to her body, and planned to return it to Qi Ning after washing. Qi Ning saw this series of actions In her eyes, she didn't say anything, but continued to observe the soldiers, but she couldn't concentrate.
Recalling Jiang Li's white and tender fingers flying up and down the square handkerchief she often used, and quickly folded the square handkerchief into a small piece and stuffed it into her sleeve. This ordinary movement is so cute no matter how you look at it.
But the current situation does not allow Qi Ning to be distracted, so she can only forcefully drive these images out of her mind, and then concentrate on thinking of a solution.
It's a pity that she hasn't come up with a good solution yet, so she heard Jiang Li softly say, "You see, even under such a heavy rain, they are still so strict about changing guards, we must sneak in while they are changing guards." No. Maybe we can find something else for them to do, to divert their attention, and we will rush in immediately when the situation is chaotic."
This is just Jiang Li's idea. After all, seeing Qi Ning's frowning, she also wants to use her little brain to share some of Qi Ning's worries.
It was a good way to attract others, and Qi Ning was really infected by this method. After thinking about it, she felt that it was feasible.But I don't know what kind of major event should be worth the chaos of the Song family's soldiers.
Jiang Li doesn't have such a smart mind, so now she can only rely on frantically recalling the original text, trying to find some clues from the original book that can help her now. My brain, I heard that Song Ze's wife is a famous tigress, and she is always benevolent. If Song Ze didn't cooperate with others in this incident, then part of his wife's plan was involved.
Jiang Li is not smart, what she could think of, Qi Ning also thought of, but the two of them said it at the same time: "That lady of the Song family!"
"Did you hear something..."
"No, is it too rainy? You heard it wrong."
……
At this time, there were chattering voices coming from the guards in front, and Jiang Li immediately realized that the voice was a little loud, and then raised her hand to tightly cover Qi Ning's mouth.
"Shh, keep your voice down, but did your majesty also think of that lady of the Song family?" Jiang Li asked with her head tilted as she saw that the crisis was resolved, and then she started acting cute again.
Qi Ning remembered the after-dinner jokes about Mrs. Song's frightening and tidying up Song Ze. At this moment, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and almost shamelessly laughed along with Jiang Li.
Suppressing the smile, Qi Ning started a science popularization machine again in a serious manner. This lady's natal family was born in Shiyin, and she also had a solid job as a founding hero, so when Song Ze married a wife, he was actually a high-ranking lady.
From the moment the wife passed through the door, she was doted on like a princess. Until later, the wife gave birth to her first eldest son amidst thousands of loves. At this time, Song Ze despised her out-of-shape figure and started to take concubines.
How could she, who has been held in the cloud all this time, be able to bear this kind of hardship? From the beginning of the open fight to the later secret fight, and in the end she simply stopped fighting, relying only on her loud voice and affluent natal family as the background , often frightened Song Ze to be very obedient, and sent the concubine to the nunnery overnight.
Therefore, the label of "Tigress" is firmly imprinted in people's minds.
"Song Ze...he deserves it!" Jiang Li snorted, Song Ze was just a fool, so naturally his wife would be terrified when she got angry.
But obviously full of jokes, when he thought of Jiang Li, he began to warm up the residual warmth of that little palm just now.
Seeing the time passing by, Qi Ning also realized that something was wrong with him, he hurriedly returned his thoughts, and recovered a deserted expression.
In the darkness, except for the breathing of the two of them, it was the sound of rain, and from time to time, the sound of those soldiers' shoes stepping on the rain and splashing water could be heard again.
At this moment, Qi Ning finally thought of how to use tonight's environment to infiltrate Song's house subtly, but he may have to cooperate with this enemy from the previous life.
Jiang Li was still thinking hard, but was interrupted by Qi Ning: "You...tonight...to cooperate with me."
It may be the first time to ask Jiang Li for cooperation. Qi Ning's stumbling is unnatural, but Jiang Li, who has been devoting himself to the craze of hugging the heroine's thigh, didn't feel anything wrong and seemed to be listening attentively.
"For a while, I will pretend to be a passer-by returning home on a rainy night, and chat with them by the way. Then I will bring the topic to the lady of the Jiang family, and try to attract all of them. You must take advantage of this gap to sneak in first. Then go back to the mansion and look for your servants to pretend to be thieves to attract their attention, and I took the opportunity to sneak in."
Jiang Li couldn't be bothered by these words, but fortunately, his IQ was slowly returning, and he couldn't help hesitating under the current situation.
Just doing what she said, Qi Ning immediately walked out, and then deliberately lowered the brim of the coir raincoat. She usually speaks in a silly tone when she goes to court, but now, Qi Ning is as heavy as she is.
The soldiers in the rain had extremely sensitive hearing, so they hurriedly looked this way, and as expected, they found a woman in a coir raincoat who couldn't see her face clearly but had a good figure and temperament.
"Who is that in front! Don't you know that this is the territory of the Song family? Don't go any further!" In fact, the family soldiers didn't dare to be the leader, and he was here as an assistant just to prevent people from entering.
Qi Ning paused when she heard this, pretending that it was raining too much, she walked forward a few steps as if she couldn't hear clearly, lowering her head slightly: "What?"
Those people looked at the tattered clothes on Qi Ning's body, so they naturally didn't think of the officials involved in this incident: "I mean, I'm afraid you went the wrong way, this is the place of the Song family. No Let's move on."
Only then did Qi Ning nod, then raised his head slightly, turned his back to the soldiers, looked around for a while, and suddenly realized that he had really gone wrong, that expression was illuminated by the torch, Jiang Li saw It was very clear, and he still said it was no wonder.
Jiang Li burst out laughing, feeling as if she had dug up a treasure, but she didn't expect that the legendary dark-bellied and unpredictable empress was actually quite cute.
Qi Ning immediately began to fabricate that when Mrs. Song's family was making trouble in the mansion just now, she admitted that she had something to do with gambling, but she didn't expect that the soldiers actually surrounded them one by one, and they didn't find out what was wrong with Qi Ning. place.
The wide and shabby coir raincoat tightly covered Qi Ning's slender body. During the long and boring rainy night, the only pleasure for the soldiers was probably to listen to the jokes of being the mistress, so they surrounded him one by one.
Jiang Li looked at the right time, and when Qi Ning was talking about the most mysterious and exciting time, she tiptoed and moved over there, visually observing that there was still some distance between her side and the side door of Song's house. The small bamboo trees covered each other under the protection of the moonlight, forming a huge shadow, and now the wind is blowing, and the sound of the bamboo forest colliding with the wind is very loud, even if Jiang Li travels through the woods occasionally There is no obvious sound.
When Qi Ning was diverting their attention, he even looked over there, and had to sigh, Jiang Li's cleverness is indeed a lot, but in order not to let them suspect, his gaze was only fleeting, and then he quickly focused on his own. In the process of making up nonsense.
In fact, sometimes, Qi Ning also doubts that he can give an order to go in and search openly, or let Jiang Li play a rogue and insist on leading troops in. No matter which method is safer than tonight's method many.
But, it is just not possible to startle the snake.Originally, Qi Ning thought that this incident was planned by Jiang Li himself, but she didn't expect that she was also very anxious. In order to prove that Jiang Li was really working hard to find evidence, that's why Qi Ning decided to act with her tonight.
On a rainy night, the wind was loud, and the shadows of the trees in the bamboo forest were shone by the torches and cast on the ground in a messy manner. The bamboo forest was full of dirt roads. After soaking in the rain for so long, it had become muddy, and Jiang Li didn't dare to make a big fuss. There is a loud noise, and you can only move one step at a time.
The side door of Song's house is a vermilion wooden door with a single leaf. The paint on the wooden door has obviously faded, and it has been washed away by the rain tonight, and now it is falling down in large chunks. With the wooden veneer off, looking at it in this relatively dark corner, there is a feeling of horror.
Jiang Li didn't hesitate anymore, quickly opened the door and slipped in, deliberately closing the door loudly so that Qi Ning could hear that she had successfully sneaked into Song's house.
The lively conversation of those soldiers came to an abrupt end at this moment, and they looked at the small side door in unison. The leading soldier reacted and immediately grabbed Qi Ning's coir raincoat: "Who the hell are you!"
Qi Ning was about to be made to cry by Jiang Li. She should be very angry, but at the moment she could only feel dumbfounded. She quickly wiped off a lot of mud and ash splashed by the rain from the coir raincoat, and then pretended to wipe the rain. After rubbing it on my own face, I immediately raised my head with a foolish smile: "I'm just a steamed bun seller outside the city. It's raining today, so I came back late. Brothers, don't mobilize the crowd like this Bar."
The reason why Qi Ning dared to raise her head was because only those court officials knew her appearance.These soldiers are just guarding the house, so how could they possibly have a chance to face the Holy Spirit?
Just taking advantage of this point, he only needs to smear some dirt and dust on his face to make himself look like a traveler.
Sure enough, this appearance dispelled the doubts of those soldiers. He sent a small soldier over to check and came back, saying that he did not find any suspicious traces, maybe it was caused by rain and wind.
The soldier quickly let go of his hand, and then apologized to Qi Ning, his attitude was as good as possible, and then let the soldiers return to their posts one after another, and they were not allowed to leave the post without authorization because of hearing these things.
Finally, he said goodbye to Qi Ning, and began to guard the gate meticulously again.
Qi Ning didn't want to hold back, anyway, Jiang Li had already entered, so he could just go back to the prime minister's mansion now.
The leader of the soldiers watched Qi Ning gradually walk away, narrowed his eyes hidden under the coir raincoat hat, and attracted a few small soldiers, and whispered: "Follow that man closely."
Jiang Li didn't dare to breathe, and stuck to the bottom of the wall, and only dared to get up when she heard that there was no movement at the door. Just now, she just accidentally pushed the door to the sound, and those monkey spirit soldiers ran over, but luckily they didn't look at it. Go to this small corner, or I will be finished tonight.
Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually walking away, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, in order to escape, she took off the straw hat of the coir raincoat. The shape of the face is perfectly outlined.
She picked up the straw hat at the bottom of her feet, wiped off the rainwater and continued to wear it on her head, then pulled the wet hair behind her ears, and began to walk forward cautiously.
The Song residence was pitch-black at the moment, there was no sound of birds and insects, and the endless sound of wind and rain could be heard, because no one took care of it, the ground was already covered with mud, obviously these people had just left, why did it look like a deserted place? Home like.
Walking forward slowly, stepping on the branches on the ground from time to time, the crisp sound startled Jiang Li. This kind of night was simply too terrifying, and all the horror plots of centipede people on rainy nights played out in her mind.
Looking at the dark house now, she didn't dare to move anymore, she just dared to wander outside the door by the light of the torch outside. If it was an ordinary house, she might be able to break in now by gritting her teeth, but this is after all. The owner of the house died yesterday.
Now it's raining again, the house looks so gloomy, so naturally she didn't dare to move, Jiang Li comforted herself that there might be clues in the yard, and after she took out a candle from her sleeve and lit it, she began to observe the dirt carefully footprints.
Footprints in the dirt? ……etc! !
Jiang Li's fear spread from the bottom of her heart. There was only soil after it rained, which meant that someone had already sneaked in when those people came to guard the house. Now the candles saw that the footprints were facing only one direction, that is to say...
That person must either fly out, or... stay here!
Jiang Li reacted and immediately blew out the candles. On such a night, there were actually two people in a gloomy old house. Jiang Li swallowed, shaking with fright. She had never experienced such a thing before. The hand holding the candle was also trembling, Jiang Li did not dare to make a sound, tried her best to hide herself in the darkness, then stepped back step by step, and continued to squat at the base of the wall.
At this time, Jiang Li actually only had that uncertain Qi Ning in her mind, she was waiting for Qi Ning to come, her only hope now was Qi Ning.
Qi Ning walked faster and faster in the alley, she lowered the brim of her hat, took out a dagger from her sleeve, and through the reflection of the dagger, she saw how the soldiers were dressed.
Qi Ning's eyes turned cold, he stopped in his tracks, and then turned around, catching those who were following him by surprise.
"I don't know what Cao Min made a mistake, but the officers and soldiers are still following me." Qi Ning's voice was extremely cold, and the dagger in his hand was always ready at any time. Unexpectedly, those soldiers also scratched their heads: " We don’t know either, I’m just a rough person, so I just follow if the boss asks me to, maybe I’m afraid that the road will be slippery in rainy days, so you should go the wrong way.”
Qi Ning put the dagger back into his sleeve, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Brothers have worked hard, the front is my home, thank you for the escort, the money is a thank you from the grassroots, it's good to have a tea together tomorrow."
The soldiers looked at the lights in front of them, as if they were waiting to return home, so they were relieved, at least they would be able to do business in a while, and all of them were ordinary people who were blind to money, and they were all squeamish. He took the silver with a pinch, and walked back with a smile, without any further doubts.
Standing in the rain, Qi Ning breathed a sigh of relief until she could no longer see their figures. She reckoned the time, and she really couldn't delay any longer, so she wanted to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. On the way back, Qi Ning always felt that something was not right. There is a kind of uneasiness in my heart that is slowly rising. This kind of uneasiness has not appeared for a long time, but tonight...
"Jiang Li!" Qi Ning didn't know why she thought of Jiang Li, and didn't even care about finding help from the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she immediately turned around and ran back. The anxiety in her heart made her go very fast, stepping on the puddles on the ground After a lot of splashing, he came to the small corner where he and Jiang Li were hiding just now, and continued to observe the soldiers.
Now that the night is already deep, those people have already started to feel sleepy, all of them hang their heads down, and now the wind and rain are loud, Qi Ning doesn't care so much anymore, and starts to move towards the side door.
Fortunately, the most vigilant leader had changed his guard and was no longer here. Those who stayed were all sleeping while fishing. Qi Ning hid his figure in the bamboo forest and slipped in easily.
It was too easy to imagine, and Qi Ning also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't care less now, Qi Ning began to look around, there was no figure of Jiang Li, and there was no sound, just as she was about to walk in At that time, I heard a soft crying voice from behind.
"Your Majesty..." It turned out to be Jiang Li.
Jiang Li hid in the corner with her arms folded, she was already crying badly, the ghost knew how scared she was during this time, she kept staring at the door of the house, afraid that someone would come out and kill her every minute killer.
Looking at Jiang Li like this, Qi Ning's heart immediately softened into a mess, even her eyes, which had been cold all night, softened, filled with unknowing heartache, her voice was a little astringent, and it took a long time to say words of comfort : "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Jiang Li tightly tugged at Qi Ning's sleeves, grasping at straws and refusing to let go, as nervous as a frightened fawn, almost hugging Qi Ning.
"Your Majesty... there should be... there should be someone in the room!" Jiang Li reminded Qi Ning with a trembling voice. In fact, Qi Ning noticed something was wrong when he came in. Now think about Jiang Li and a person who didn't know who it was. After staying for so long, it's no wonder I'm not afraid.
For the first time, Qi Ning responded to Jiang Li's approach. She slowly raised her hand to embrace Jiang Li's shoulder. The warmth of her palm made Jiang Li feel relieved, but the tears just couldn't help rolling down. Come on, Jiang Li couldn't tell the difference between the raindrops and the teardrops, but felt that the fear in her heart was replaced by grievances, and now she was just very clingy.
Qi Ning didn't stop her, but wiped away the teardrops on her cheek with the other hand, her heart ached beyond words, the kind of heart-wrenching pain, Qi Ning couldn't ignore and couldn't figure it out.
He took the candle in Jiang Li's hand and lit the candle. She and Jiang Li have been here for so long, but they haven't heard any noise from the room. In order to avoid scaring himself, Qi Ning planned to go in and have a look.
Qi Ning pushed open the door, the room was pitch black, there was no light at all, and there seemed to be no sign of anyone coming, Jiang Li followed closely behind Qi Ning, holding her sleeves tightly, not letting go.
Qi Ning is now turning his attention to the guests, and he is not worried that anyone in the room will be stunned. He directly lights the candle and puts it on the candlestick. Immediately, half of the room is illuminated, and the situation inside the room can be seen clearly.
Because I was immersed in the darkness for a long time, I suddenly saw the light, and my eyes were still a little uncomfortable. When the sight gradually became clear, I seriously started to look at the furnishings in the room. At this time, Jiang Li was taken aback. It was a mess at the moment, as if it had just experienced a looting, half of the quilt on the bed fell to the floor, and the mirror on the table was cracked, just as Jiang Li's face was reflected on the mirror, looking hideous and terrifying.
There is a gossip map on the side cabinet, which adds a lot of weird atmosphere to this house.
Just as Jiang Li wanted to take a step forward, she stepped on something soft and looked down...it was actually a person!Lying there foaming at the mouth!
"Ah..." Before Jiang Li screamed, Qi Ning covered her mouth, her eyes signaled to keep her voice down, Jiang Li nodded, and then she was let go.
After taking a few breaths, Jiang Li looked at the half-dead man on the ground in disbelief, then shook Qi Ning's arm, eyes full of anxiety: "Your Majesty... is this man dying... what should we do... ..."
Ever since Jiang Li was frightened, she has no airs at all. The only thing she can hold on to now is Qi Ning, so she is naturally reluctant to let go.Qi Ning didn't mind either, instead he grabbed Jiang Li's wrist and pulled her behind him.
"We don't care about this person. He's completely unconscious now and can't pose a threat to us. Now hurry up and see if there are any clues, or else tonight will be in vain." Although Qi Ning said so, he had already put The dagger was put into Jiang Li's hands. In fact, Qi Ning didn't know why she trusted Jiang Li so much after the incident. It was just that she felt that Jiang Li would never hurt herself, so she put the dagger in Jiang Li's hands so reassuringly. Li's hand.
And Jiang Li did not disappoint her, after taking the dagger, she kept staring at the man on the ground for her, for fear that the man's reflection would hurt Qi Ning.
Qi Ning rummaged through the messy desks intently, and found that there were many envelopes opened on those desks, but the letter paper inside was gone.
Jiang Li also approached to help watch, but found no burnt paper scraps on the candlestick beside it.
"Shouldn't it be burned, but just hidden or thrown somewhere?" Jiang Li analyzed aloud, and her hands had already started to search for it. Qi Ning put away the envelopes and divided the work with Jiang Li to find them.
It's a pity that even a piece of letter paper can't be found in such a messy place, and they can't stay in this house for a long time, because if it dawns soon, the very strict person who changes the guard will probably come again.
Jiang Li always felt that the gossip diagram was very weird, how could it be possible for ordinary people to put such a thing in their houses, either there was something evil or something strange.
Although Jiang Li was afraid, she didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world. She bravely stepped forward and read the gossip drawings several times, only to realize that the drawings were actually two, but they had been put together for a long time. Zhang became less distinct.
When the gossip map was separated, and half of the yellowed paper fell from it, with only half of the handwriting on the paper, and all of them were capitalized numbers, Jiang Li felt that something was a little strange, as if he was playing some puzzle game , how could someone really give you clues bit by bit...
But I really have no clue now, so I had to hold the half of the paper and stare at it by the candlelight for a long time. After searching all over to no avail, Qi Ning finally noticed the half of the paper that was about to leave his hand, and resisted the urge to roll his eyes and put the paper away. bring here.
"I really don't know why you are so stupid." Although Qi Ning scolded Jiang Li for being stupid, he couldn't hear the slightest bad tone, and Jiang Li couldn't get angry. She crossed her arms and wanted to see Qi Ning Can there be any good way.
As a result, in the next second, I saw Qi Ning holding the note and putting it on the mirror... Those numbers are obvious.
Four eight six eight.
This string of numbers seems to be a password somewhere, but there is no such thing as a combination lock in this era.
Qi Ning's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and she didn't know what the string of numbers meant, so she threw the note away after a while.
Jiang Li was a little puzzled: "What's the matter?" Qi Ning sneered, turned around and looked at the people on the ground, his red lips slightly pursed: "The words on the note are not the key, there is poison on the note, as long as the note is taken away The mechanism can be triggered by moving the bar, but unfortunately, the poison has been completely destroyed by this person, so it has no effect on us."
"Song Quanshi's house is not simple." Qi Ning's words gradually became heavy, with a mocking arc on the corner of her mouth, she concluded that those envelopes were the key, and why the note returned to its original place again...
There is a third person in this room.Has been sitting on the sidelines, but did not show up.
Qi Ning looked at Jiang Li, who had just recovered, and decided not to tell her about it, but Qi Ning couldn't guarantee that he would encounter anything if he stayed here again. He explained, so he picked her up horizontally, ran out of the room under Jiang Li's blushing, and came to the side door.
Jiang Li also noticed something was wrong, and after struggling to get down, she tightly clutched Qi Ning's sleeve: "What's wrong..."
Qi Ning didn't answer her words, but deliberately raised his voice and shouted into the room: "Prime Minister Jiang, take these useless envelopes first, go back to the house and find a place to put them, and wait until tomorrow, and then talk to you." Discuss more."
Jiang Li was bewildered, why now Qi Ning is not afraid that the soldiers outside will hear him, but still speaks to the room, could it be that the man lying on the ground just now is actually pretending?
But the current environment will be far away, so I dare not ask more questions.Following Qi Ning, he slowly opened the side door a crack, and found that the soldiers were still asleep.
The two of them took advantage of the wind and escaped from the bamboo forest. The rain was finally a little lighter. Jiang Li and Qi Ning walked back. There was no one in the alley at the moment. Holding the envelope that was just stuffed in, his expression was dumb and cute.
Qi Ning threw away those straw hats and bought an oil-paper umbrella to hold them up. When the two walked back, they didn't say a word, and the doubts in their hearts just now were swallowed by Jiang Li.
From the corner of her eyes, Qi Ning saw that Jiang Li's other arm was drenched by the rain, so she tilted her umbrella slightly. Jiang Li immediately raised her head and found something, but she didn't say anything, but her heart was warm and she didn't know it. Laughed.
It was the beginning of Yin Shi, and there was thunder rumbling in the sky, Jiang Li was so frightened that she moved to Qi Ning's side, and then raised her innocent and harmless face with a pitiful look, which made Qi Ning reluctant to say anything.
"I never imagined that someone as old as Aiqing would be afraid of thunder? I've heard that Lei Gong only kills people who do things unfairly and disregard human lives. If they are not guilty, they shouldn't be afraid, right?" Qi Ning is of course talking nonsense, she I was afraid of it when I was young, but I just used this as an excuse to see Jiang Li flustered.
As expected, Jiang Li's expression became more and more guilty, and a few beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. On such a cold rainy night, cold sweat broke out, which showed how nervous she was.
Qi Ning smiled and didn't continue talking, but continued to hold the umbrella. In this alley, there was only the sound of raindrops falling on the umbrella surface...
The journey home was easy, and the two of them soon returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. At this moment, the Prime Minister's Mansion was still brightly lit, and the place where Jiang Chuxia and Nanny lived had already turned off the lights. When Jiang Li returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he finally relaxed , lying on the imperial concubine's couch and was unwilling to move, but Qi Ning did not seem to relax at all, took the envelope from Jiang Li's hand and sat under the candlelight to look through it.
Maybe it was exhausted, Jiang Li just lay down for a while and then fell asleep in a daze. Before leaving, Qi Ning put the envelope on the table, as if afraid that it would not be obvious, and added a candlestick to illuminate it. Instruct Wen Xue to take care of these envelopes.
Although Wen Xue only listened to Jiang Li, she still wanted to show respect to His Majesty after all, so she responded respectfully, Qi Ning couldn't stay here for long, and estimated the time, it's time to go back to the palace and get up to prepare When he went up, he took another look at her before leaving.
Jiang Li clenched her little hand and put it next to her face. The guarded look was really cute. Her tender fingers turned white due to a little force, and even her expression became tense, as if she was escaping in a dream. Qi Ning couldn't bear it. Zhu laughed out loud, and recalled in her mind that she was so frightened to tears in the Song residence just now.
He was so soft in his heart, but he still didn't continue to look at it. He straightened up and looked down at Jiang Li. After a long time, he sighed and carried him to the bed, pulled the brocade quilt to cover her, and then turned around and went out.
She didn't disturb the other people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and left in the dark, but it was useless. Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion knew that she returned to the palace late at night, and she didn't have any sleepiness at all. They were all guessing about their master and this Queen's relationship.
The guard guarding the gate looked at Qi Ning's back, then closed the gate, and chatted with his friends while changing guards. Everyone was puzzled by the recent weirdness.
"You said... Is it because our master has other goals? I always feel that he won't be so willing to submit to the empress..." As soon as the guard who closed the door just finished speaking, he saw Jiang Li standing there in a long white dress. At first glance, it looks like a ghost in the middle of the night.
"Master... my lord..." The guard knelt down subconsciously. The impression Jiang Li gave him before was that kind of female devil who kills without batting an eye. superior……
Jiang Li looked at the guard kneeling in front of her, a little puzzled, was she so scary?Before he could react, he found that the guard of the handsome seven-foot man had already shed tears...
"No... why are you crying! What I mean is to tell you, don't talk about others behind their backs. If one day you just finished speaking ill of others, you turn around and see that person, wouldn't it be embarrassing?" Jiang Li In fact, she was already awake when she was picked up just now, but she didn't dare to open her eyes. She didn't dare to come out until she confirmed that Qi Ning had already left. Who knew that she would bump into her own guard and gossip like a gossip.
After putting the words here, Jiang Li saw that he hadn't gotten up yet, so she didn't intend to bother, she tiptoed in and looked at the tightly closed door, so she gave up the idea of going out to see Qi Ning, turned around When I walked back to the house, I was still secretly spurning myself, why did I stay up in the middle of the night, and ran out to see people off?
Kneeling and trembling, the guard had not heard Jiang Li's voice for a long time, nor had he heard the news of his "death", so he boldly raised his head slightly, and found that there was no one in front of him, and his friend was still beside him Standing like a kid watching a joke.
"! My lord has already left, why didn't you tell me!" The guard felt exhausted for the rest of his life, so he sat down on the ground, blaming his so-called friend while resting.
The other guard was actually sweating for him just now. After all, Jiang Li's emotions are very unpredictable. Who knows why he was so tolerant all of a sudden this time? No.
"I think our lord may be in a good mood recently. Just be honest and stop talking about these masters behind their backs. Otherwise, ten heads won't be enough for you to cut off."
The guard nodded in fear, wiped the tears off his face, feeling ashamed, clutched his waist and ran to rest.
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Li's conditioned reflex opened her eyes.
"Is this Song Quanshi's own family soldier?" Jiang Li really couldn't think of any other reason. It stands to reason that it was just a murder case, and it was far from being as mobilizing as Dali Temple. Could it be that Song Quanshi's wife and children were afraid of their own house? stolen?
Qi Ning resisted not looking down on her, pointed to an officer and soldier in the distance, and carefully taught her to recognize it: "Look, the character 'Song' is very obvious on the accessories around these people's waists, the reason why you can see it even in the dark The words on the waist card are clear, because those words are inlaid with gold silk and stroked."
Qi Ning's tone was a bit slow, he stared at the officers and soldiers walking around, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "This is Song Ze's family soldiers, probably all of them have been sent here."
"Song Ze?!" Jiang Li was a little shocked. This seemingly brainless and greasy person would actually send out all his family soldiers at such a time, just to guard an empty house.
Who is he guarding against?Jiang Li couldn't figure it out for a while. At this time, all the hostages who could obtain evidence had been invited to Dali Temple. It stands to reason that there was no need to send family soldiers to protect an empty shell. But with the departure of the Song family's wife and children, those The soldiers were as immovable as a mountain, still standing here firmly, every time the guards were changed so seamlessly, I'm afraid not even a mosquito could fly in.
Qi Ning looked at Jiang Li's expression and knew that her mind had finally started to turn, and she began to analyze by herself: "You can see that something is wrong, Song Aiqing may not be as innocent as she appears on the surface, or she has been used. And What the current situation has caused us is that it is completely impossible to sneak in, and it is even more impossible to look for evidence everywhere as you planned."
After Qi Ning finished speaking, she leaned on the corner with her hands crossed over her chest. Fortunately, the coir raincoat was protected from the rain. Her clothes only wet the corners of the skirt. Jiang Li was not used to wearing ancient clothes, so the ends of her hair were wet at the moment , There are also many raindrops on his face.
Seeing that Qi Ning didn't panic at all even in the face of this situation, he was a little anxious, and while wiping the rain on his face, he said: "This, this... Your Majesty, hurry up and come up with an idea, or else we will be together tonight." This trip is considered to be for nothing, and it rained so much?"
Seeing her in such a mess, Qi Ning frowned subconsciously, not quite understanding why Jiang Li was drenched so badly, she looked at the soldiers standing guard over there, turned her head and handed Jiang Li a square handkerchief.
"Take this and wipe it. It's absolutely impossible to return without success tonight." Of course, Qi Ning has his own way, and Jiang Li suddenly believed it. It may be thousands of times and hundreds of times more difficult than this, but the evidence was still obtained under the nose of the original owner, and the original owner was caught off guard in the end.
Jiang Li didn't mind at all, so she took the handkerchief and gently wiped off the rainwater on her face, then put it away close to her body, and planned to return it to Qi Ning after washing. Qi Ning saw this series of actions In her eyes, she didn't say anything, but continued to observe the soldiers, but she couldn't concentrate.
Recalling Jiang Li's white and tender fingers flying up and down the square handkerchief she often used, and quickly folded the square handkerchief into a small piece and stuffed it into her sleeve. This ordinary movement is so cute no matter how you look at it.
But the current situation does not allow Qi Ning to be distracted, so she can only forcefully drive these images out of her mind, and then concentrate on thinking of a solution.
It's a pity that she hasn't come up with a good solution yet, so she heard Jiang Li softly say, "You see, even under such a heavy rain, they are still so strict about changing guards, we must sneak in while they are changing guards." No. Maybe we can find something else for them to do, to divert their attention, and we will rush in immediately when the situation is chaotic."
This is just Jiang Li's idea. After all, seeing Qi Ning's frowning, she also wants to use her little brain to share some of Qi Ning's worries.
It was a good way to attract others, and Qi Ning was really infected by this method. After thinking about it, she felt that it was feasible.But I don't know what kind of major event should be worth the chaos of the Song family's soldiers.
Jiang Li doesn't have such a smart mind, so now she can only rely on frantically recalling the original text, trying to find some clues from the original book that can help her now. My brain, I heard that Song Ze's wife is a famous tigress, and she is always benevolent. If Song Ze didn't cooperate with others in this incident, then part of his wife's plan was involved.
Jiang Li is not smart, what she could think of, Qi Ning also thought of, but the two of them said it at the same time: "That lady of the Song family!"
"Did you hear something..."
"No, is it too rainy? You heard it wrong."
……
At this time, there were chattering voices coming from the guards in front, and Jiang Li immediately realized that the voice was a little loud, and then raised her hand to tightly cover Qi Ning's mouth.
"Shh, keep your voice down, but did your majesty also think of that lady of the Song family?" Jiang Li asked with her head tilted as she saw that the crisis was resolved, and then she started acting cute again.
Qi Ning remembered the after-dinner jokes about Mrs. Song's frightening and tidying up Song Ze. At this moment, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and almost shamelessly laughed along with Jiang Li.
Suppressing the smile, Qi Ning started a science popularization machine again in a serious manner. This lady's natal family was born in Shiyin, and she also had a solid job as a founding hero, so when Song Ze married a wife, he was actually a high-ranking lady.
From the moment the wife passed through the door, she was doted on like a princess. Until later, the wife gave birth to her first eldest son amidst thousands of loves. At this time, Song Ze despised her out-of-shape figure and started to take concubines.
How could she, who has been held in the cloud all this time, be able to bear this kind of hardship? From the beginning of the open fight to the later secret fight, and in the end she simply stopped fighting, relying only on her loud voice and affluent natal family as the background , often frightened Song Ze to be very obedient, and sent the concubine to the nunnery overnight.
Therefore, the label of "Tigress" is firmly imprinted in people's minds.
"Song Ze...he deserves it!" Jiang Li snorted, Song Ze was just a fool, so naturally his wife would be terrified when she got angry.
But obviously full of jokes, when he thought of Jiang Li, he began to warm up the residual warmth of that little palm just now.
Seeing the time passing by, Qi Ning also realized that something was wrong with him, he hurriedly returned his thoughts, and recovered a deserted expression.
In the darkness, except for the breathing of the two of them, it was the sound of rain, and from time to time, the sound of those soldiers' shoes stepping on the rain and splashing water could be heard again.
At this moment, Qi Ning finally thought of how to use tonight's environment to infiltrate Song's house subtly, but he may have to cooperate with this enemy from the previous life.
Jiang Li was still thinking hard, but was interrupted by Qi Ning: "You...tonight...to cooperate with me."
It may be the first time to ask Jiang Li for cooperation. Qi Ning's stumbling is unnatural, but Jiang Li, who has been devoting himself to the craze of hugging the heroine's thigh, didn't feel anything wrong and seemed to be listening attentively.
"For a while, I will pretend to be a passer-by returning home on a rainy night, and chat with them by the way. Then I will bring the topic to the lady of the Jiang family, and try to attract all of them. You must take advantage of this gap to sneak in first. Then go back to the mansion and look for your servants to pretend to be thieves to attract their attention, and I took the opportunity to sneak in."
Jiang Li couldn't be bothered by these words, but fortunately, his IQ was slowly returning, and he couldn't help hesitating under the current situation.
Just doing what she said, Qi Ning immediately walked out, and then deliberately lowered the brim of the coir raincoat. She usually speaks in a silly tone when she goes to court, but now, Qi Ning is as heavy as she is.
The soldiers in the rain had extremely sensitive hearing, so they hurriedly looked this way, and as expected, they found a woman in a coir raincoat who couldn't see her face clearly but had a good figure and temperament.
"Who is that in front! Don't you know that this is the territory of the Song family? Don't go any further!" In fact, the family soldiers didn't dare to be the leader, and he was here as an assistant just to prevent people from entering.
Qi Ning paused when she heard this, pretending that it was raining too much, she walked forward a few steps as if she couldn't hear clearly, lowering her head slightly: "What?"
Those people looked at the tattered clothes on Qi Ning's body, so they naturally didn't think of the officials involved in this incident: "I mean, I'm afraid you went the wrong way, this is the place of the Song family. No Let's move on."
Only then did Qi Ning nod, then raised his head slightly, turned his back to the soldiers, looked around for a while, and suddenly realized that he had really gone wrong, that expression was illuminated by the torch, Jiang Li saw It was very clear, and he still said it was no wonder.
Jiang Li burst out laughing, feeling as if she had dug up a treasure, but she didn't expect that the legendary dark-bellied and unpredictable empress was actually quite cute.
Qi Ning immediately began to fabricate that when Mrs. Song's family was making trouble in the mansion just now, she admitted that she had something to do with gambling, but she didn't expect that the soldiers actually surrounded them one by one, and they didn't find out what was wrong with Qi Ning. place.
The wide and shabby coir raincoat tightly covered Qi Ning's slender body. During the long and boring rainy night, the only pleasure for the soldiers was probably to listen to the jokes of being the mistress, so they surrounded him one by one.
Jiang Li looked at the right time, and when Qi Ning was talking about the most mysterious and exciting time, she tiptoed and moved over there, visually observing that there was still some distance between her side and the side door of Song's house. The small bamboo trees covered each other under the protection of the moonlight, forming a huge shadow, and now the wind is blowing, and the sound of the bamboo forest colliding with the wind is very loud, even if Jiang Li travels through the woods occasionally There is no obvious sound.
When Qi Ning was diverting their attention, he even looked over there, and had to sigh, Jiang Li's cleverness is indeed a lot, but in order not to let them suspect, his gaze was only fleeting, and then he quickly focused on his own. In the process of making up nonsense.
In fact, sometimes, Qi Ning also doubts that he can give an order to go in and search openly, or let Jiang Li play a rogue and insist on leading troops in. No matter which method is safer than tonight's method many.
But, it is just not possible to startle the snake.Originally, Qi Ning thought that this incident was planned by Jiang Li himself, but she didn't expect that she was also very anxious. In order to prove that Jiang Li was really working hard to find evidence, that's why Qi Ning decided to act with her tonight.
On a rainy night, the wind was loud, and the shadows of the trees in the bamboo forest were shone by the torches and cast on the ground in a messy manner. The bamboo forest was full of dirt roads. After soaking in the rain for so long, it had become muddy, and Jiang Li didn't dare to make a big fuss. There is a loud noise, and you can only move one step at a time.
The side door of Song's house is a vermilion wooden door with a single leaf. The paint on the wooden door has obviously faded, and it has been washed away by the rain tonight, and now it is falling down in large chunks. With the wooden veneer off, looking at it in this relatively dark corner, there is a feeling of horror.
Jiang Li didn't hesitate anymore, quickly opened the door and slipped in, deliberately closing the door loudly so that Qi Ning could hear that she had successfully sneaked into Song's house.
The lively conversation of those soldiers came to an abrupt end at this moment, and they looked at the small side door in unison. The leading soldier reacted and immediately grabbed Qi Ning's coir raincoat: "Who the hell are you!"
Qi Ning was about to be made to cry by Jiang Li. She should be very angry, but at the moment she could only feel dumbfounded. She quickly wiped off a lot of mud and ash splashed by the rain from the coir raincoat, and then pretended to wipe the rain. After rubbing it on my own face, I immediately raised my head with a foolish smile: "I'm just a steamed bun seller outside the city. It's raining today, so I came back late. Brothers, don't mobilize the crowd like this Bar."
The reason why Qi Ning dared to raise her head was because only those court officials knew her appearance.These soldiers are just guarding the house, so how could they possibly have a chance to face the Holy Spirit?
Just taking advantage of this point, he only needs to smear some dirt and dust on his face to make himself look like a traveler.
Sure enough, this appearance dispelled the doubts of those soldiers. He sent a small soldier over to check and came back, saying that he did not find any suspicious traces, maybe it was caused by rain and wind.
The soldier quickly let go of his hand, and then apologized to Qi Ning, his attitude was as good as possible, and then let the soldiers return to their posts one after another, and they were not allowed to leave the post without authorization because of hearing these things.
Finally, he said goodbye to Qi Ning, and began to guard the gate meticulously again.
Qi Ning didn't want to hold back, anyway, Jiang Li had already entered, so he could just go back to the prime minister's mansion now.
The leader of the soldiers watched Qi Ning gradually walk away, narrowed his eyes hidden under the coir raincoat hat, and attracted a few small soldiers, and whispered: "Follow that man closely."
Jiang Li didn't dare to breathe, and stuck to the bottom of the wall, and only dared to get up when she heard that there was no movement at the door. Just now, she just accidentally pushed the door to the sound, and those monkey spirit soldiers ran over, but luckily they didn't look at it. Go to this small corner, or I will be finished tonight.
Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually walking away, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, in order to escape, she took off the straw hat of the coir raincoat. The shape of the face is perfectly outlined.
She picked up the straw hat at the bottom of her feet, wiped off the rainwater and continued to wear it on her head, then pulled the wet hair behind her ears, and began to walk forward cautiously.
The Song residence was pitch-black at the moment, there was no sound of birds and insects, and the endless sound of wind and rain could be heard, because no one took care of it, the ground was already covered with mud, obviously these people had just left, why did it look like a deserted place? Home like.
Walking forward slowly, stepping on the branches on the ground from time to time, the crisp sound startled Jiang Li. This kind of night was simply too terrifying, and all the horror plots of centipede people on rainy nights played out in her mind.
Looking at the dark house now, she didn't dare to move anymore, she just dared to wander outside the door by the light of the torch outside. If it was an ordinary house, she might be able to break in now by gritting her teeth, but this is after all. The owner of the house died yesterday.
Now it's raining again, the house looks so gloomy, so naturally she didn't dare to move, Jiang Li comforted herself that there might be clues in the yard, and after she took out a candle from her sleeve and lit it, she began to observe the dirt carefully footprints.
Footprints in the dirt? ……etc! !
Jiang Li's fear spread from the bottom of her heart. There was only soil after it rained, which meant that someone had already sneaked in when those people came to guard the house. Now the candles saw that the footprints were facing only one direction, that is to say...
That person must either fly out, or... stay here!
Jiang Li reacted and immediately blew out the candles. On such a night, there were actually two people in a gloomy old house. Jiang Li swallowed, shaking with fright. She had never experienced such a thing before. The hand holding the candle was also trembling, Jiang Li did not dare to make a sound, tried her best to hide herself in the darkness, then stepped back step by step, and continued to squat at the base of the wall.
At this time, Jiang Li actually only had that uncertain Qi Ning in her mind, she was waiting for Qi Ning to come, her only hope now was Qi Ning.
Qi Ning walked faster and faster in the alley, she lowered the brim of her hat, took out a dagger from her sleeve, and through the reflection of the dagger, she saw how the soldiers were dressed.
Qi Ning's eyes turned cold, he stopped in his tracks, and then turned around, catching those who were following him by surprise.
"I don't know what Cao Min made a mistake, but the officers and soldiers are still following me." Qi Ning's voice was extremely cold, and the dagger in his hand was always ready at any time. Unexpectedly, those soldiers also scratched their heads: " We don’t know either, I’m just a rough person, so I just follow if the boss asks me to, maybe I’m afraid that the road will be slippery in rainy days, so you should go the wrong way.”
Qi Ning put the dagger back into his sleeve, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Brothers have worked hard, the front is my home, thank you for the escort, the money is a thank you from the grassroots, it's good to have a tea together tomorrow."
The soldiers looked at the lights in front of them, as if they were waiting to return home, so they were relieved, at least they would be able to do business in a while, and all of them were ordinary people who were blind to money, and they were all squeamish. He took the silver with a pinch, and walked back with a smile, without any further doubts.
Standing in the rain, Qi Ning breathed a sigh of relief until she could no longer see their figures. She reckoned the time, and she really couldn't delay any longer, so she wanted to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. On the way back, Qi Ning always felt that something was not right. There is a kind of uneasiness in my heart that is slowly rising. This kind of uneasiness has not appeared for a long time, but tonight...
"Jiang Li!" Qi Ning didn't know why she thought of Jiang Li, and didn't even care about finding help from the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she immediately turned around and ran back. The anxiety in her heart made her go very fast, stepping on the puddles on the ground After a lot of splashing, he came to the small corner where he and Jiang Li were hiding just now, and continued to observe the soldiers.
Now that the night is already deep, those people have already started to feel sleepy, all of them hang their heads down, and now the wind and rain are loud, Qi Ning doesn't care so much anymore, and starts to move towards the side door.
Fortunately, the most vigilant leader had changed his guard and was no longer here. Those who stayed were all sleeping while fishing. Qi Ning hid his figure in the bamboo forest and slipped in easily.
It was too easy to imagine, and Qi Ning also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't care less now, Qi Ning began to look around, there was no figure of Jiang Li, and there was no sound, just as she was about to walk in At that time, I heard a soft crying voice from behind.
"Your Majesty..." It turned out to be Jiang Li.
Jiang Li hid in the corner with her arms folded, she was already crying badly, the ghost knew how scared she was during this time, she kept staring at the door of the house, afraid that someone would come out and kill her every minute killer.
Looking at Jiang Li like this, Qi Ning's heart immediately softened into a mess, even her eyes, which had been cold all night, softened, filled with unknowing heartache, her voice was a little astringent, and it took a long time to say words of comfort : "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Jiang Li tightly tugged at Qi Ning's sleeves, grasping at straws and refusing to let go, as nervous as a frightened fawn, almost hugging Qi Ning.
"Your Majesty... there should be... there should be someone in the room!" Jiang Li reminded Qi Ning with a trembling voice. In fact, Qi Ning noticed something was wrong when he came in. Now think about Jiang Li and a person who didn't know who it was. After staying for so long, it's no wonder I'm not afraid.
For the first time, Qi Ning responded to Jiang Li's approach. She slowly raised her hand to embrace Jiang Li's shoulder. The warmth of her palm made Jiang Li feel relieved, but the tears just couldn't help rolling down. Come on, Jiang Li couldn't tell the difference between the raindrops and the teardrops, but felt that the fear in her heart was replaced by grievances, and now she was just very clingy.
Qi Ning didn't stop her, but wiped away the teardrops on her cheek with the other hand, her heart ached beyond words, the kind of heart-wrenching pain, Qi Ning couldn't ignore and couldn't figure it out.
He took the candle in Jiang Li's hand and lit the candle. She and Jiang Li have been here for so long, but they haven't heard any noise from the room. In order to avoid scaring himself, Qi Ning planned to go in and have a look.
Qi Ning pushed open the door, the room was pitch black, there was no light at all, and there seemed to be no sign of anyone coming, Jiang Li followed closely behind Qi Ning, holding her sleeves tightly, not letting go.
Qi Ning is now turning his attention to the guests, and he is not worried that anyone in the room will be stunned. He directly lights the candle and puts it on the candlestick. Immediately, half of the room is illuminated, and the situation inside the room can be seen clearly.
Because I was immersed in the darkness for a long time, I suddenly saw the light, and my eyes were still a little uncomfortable. When the sight gradually became clear, I seriously started to look at the furnishings in the room. At this time, Jiang Li was taken aback. It was a mess at the moment, as if it had just experienced a looting, half of the quilt on the bed fell to the floor, and the mirror on the table was cracked, just as Jiang Li's face was reflected on the mirror, looking hideous and terrifying.
There is a gossip map on the side cabinet, which adds a lot of weird atmosphere to this house.
Just as Jiang Li wanted to take a step forward, she stepped on something soft and looked down...it was actually a person!Lying there foaming at the mouth!
"Ah..." Before Jiang Li screamed, Qi Ning covered her mouth, her eyes signaled to keep her voice down, Jiang Li nodded, and then she was let go.
After taking a few breaths, Jiang Li looked at the half-dead man on the ground in disbelief, then shook Qi Ning's arm, eyes full of anxiety: "Your Majesty... is this man dying... what should we do... ..."
Ever since Jiang Li was frightened, she has no airs at all. The only thing she can hold on to now is Qi Ning, so she is naturally reluctant to let go.Qi Ning didn't mind either, instead he grabbed Jiang Li's wrist and pulled her behind him.
"We don't care about this person. He's completely unconscious now and can't pose a threat to us. Now hurry up and see if there are any clues, or else tonight will be in vain." Although Qi Ning said so, he had already put The dagger was put into Jiang Li's hands. In fact, Qi Ning didn't know why she trusted Jiang Li so much after the incident. It was just that she felt that Jiang Li would never hurt herself, so she put the dagger in Jiang Li's hands so reassuringly. Li's hand.
And Jiang Li did not disappoint her, after taking the dagger, she kept staring at the man on the ground for her, for fear that the man's reflection would hurt Qi Ning.
Qi Ning rummaged through the messy desks intently, and found that there were many envelopes opened on those desks, but the letter paper inside was gone.
Jiang Li also approached to help watch, but found no burnt paper scraps on the candlestick beside it.
"Shouldn't it be burned, but just hidden or thrown somewhere?" Jiang Li analyzed aloud, and her hands had already started to search for it. Qi Ning put away the envelopes and divided the work with Jiang Li to find them.
It's a pity that even a piece of letter paper can't be found in such a messy place, and they can't stay in this house for a long time, because if it dawns soon, the very strict person who changes the guard will probably come again.
Jiang Li always felt that the gossip diagram was very weird, how could it be possible for ordinary people to put such a thing in their houses, either there was something evil or something strange.
Although Jiang Li was afraid, she didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world. She bravely stepped forward and read the gossip drawings several times, only to realize that the drawings were actually two, but they had been put together for a long time. Zhang became less distinct.
When the gossip map was separated, and half of the yellowed paper fell from it, with only half of the handwriting on the paper, and all of them were capitalized numbers, Jiang Li felt that something was a little strange, as if he was playing some puzzle game , how could someone really give you clues bit by bit...
But I really have no clue now, so I had to hold the half of the paper and stare at it by the candlelight for a long time. After searching all over to no avail, Qi Ning finally noticed the half of the paper that was about to leave his hand, and resisted the urge to roll his eyes and put the paper away. bring here.
"I really don't know why you are so stupid." Although Qi Ning scolded Jiang Li for being stupid, he couldn't hear the slightest bad tone, and Jiang Li couldn't get angry. She crossed her arms and wanted to see Qi Ning Can there be any good way.
As a result, in the next second, I saw Qi Ning holding the note and putting it on the mirror... Those numbers are obvious.
Four eight six eight.
This string of numbers seems to be a password somewhere, but there is no such thing as a combination lock in this era.
Qi Ning's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and she didn't know what the string of numbers meant, so she threw the note away after a while.
Jiang Li was a little puzzled: "What's the matter?" Qi Ning sneered, turned around and looked at the people on the ground, his red lips slightly pursed: "The words on the note are not the key, there is poison on the note, as long as the note is taken away The mechanism can be triggered by moving the bar, but unfortunately, the poison has been completely destroyed by this person, so it has no effect on us."
"Song Quanshi's house is not simple." Qi Ning's words gradually became heavy, with a mocking arc on the corner of her mouth, she concluded that those envelopes were the key, and why the note returned to its original place again...
There is a third person in this room.Has been sitting on the sidelines, but did not show up.
Qi Ning looked at Jiang Li, who had just recovered, and decided not to tell her about it, but Qi Ning couldn't guarantee that he would encounter anything if he stayed here again. He explained, so he picked her up horizontally, ran out of the room under Jiang Li's blushing, and came to the side door.
Jiang Li also noticed something was wrong, and after struggling to get down, she tightly clutched Qi Ning's sleeve: "What's wrong..."
Qi Ning didn't answer her words, but deliberately raised his voice and shouted into the room: "Prime Minister Jiang, take these useless envelopes first, go back to the house and find a place to put them, and wait until tomorrow, and then talk to you." Discuss more."
Jiang Li was bewildered, why now Qi Ning is not afraid that the soldiers outside will hear him, but still speaks to the room, could it be that the man lying on the ground just now is actually pretending?
But the current environment will be far away, so I dare not ask more questions.Following Qi Ning, he slowly opened the side door a crack, and found that the soldiers were still asleep.
The two of them took advantage of the wind and escaped from the bamboo forest. The rain was finally a little lighter. Jiang Li and Qi Ning walked back. There was no one in the alley at the moment. Holding the envelope that was just stuffed in, his expression was dumb and cute.
Qi Ning threw away those straw hats and bought an oil-paper umbrella to hold them up. When the two walked back, they didn't say a word, and the doubts in their hearts just now were swallowed by Jiang Li.
From the corner of her eyes, Qi Ning saw that Jiang Li's other arm was drenched by the rain, so she tilted her umbrella slightly. Jiang Li immediately raised her head and found something, but she didn't say anything, but her heart was warm and she didn't know it. Laughed.
It was the beginning of Yin Shi, and there was thunder rumbling in the sky, Jiang Li was so frightened that she moved to Qi Ning's side, and then raised her innocent and harmless face with a pitiful look, which made Qi Ning reluctant to say anything.
"I never imagined that someone as old as Aiqing would be afraid of thunder? I've heard that Lei Gong only kills people who do things unfairly and disregard human lives. If they are not guilty, they shouldn't be afraid, right?" Qi Ning is of course talking nonsense, she I was afraid of it when I was young, but I just used this as an excuse to see Jiang Li flustered.
As expected, Jiang Li's expression became more and more guilty, and a few beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. On such a cold rainy night, cold sweat broke out, which showed how nervous she was.
Qi Ning smiled and didn't continue talking, but continued to hold the umbrella. In this alley, there was only the sound of raindrops falling on the umbrella surface...
The journey home was easy, and the two of them soon returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. At this moment, the Prime Minister's Mansion was still brightly lit, and the place where Jiang Chuxia and Nanny lived had already turned off the lights. When Jiang Li returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he finally relaxed , lying on the imperial concubine's couch and was unwilling to move, but Qi Ning did not seem to relax at all, took the envelope from Jiang Li's hand and sat under the candlelight to look through it.
Maybe it was exhausted, Jiang Li just lay down for a while and then fell asleep in a daze. Before leaving, Qi Ning put the envelope on the table, as if afraid that it would not be obvious, and added a candlestick to illuminate it. Instruct Wen Xue to take care of these envelopes.
Although Wen Xue only listened to Jiang Li, she still wanted to show respect to His Majesty after all, so she responded respectfully, Qi Ning couldn't stay here for long, and estimated the time, it's time to go back to the palace and get up to prepare When he went up, he took another look at her before leaving.
Jiang Li clenched her little hand and put it next to her face. The guarded look was really cute. Her tender fingers turned white due to a little force, and even her expression became tense, as if she was escaping in a dream. Qi Ning couldn't bear it. Zhu laughed out loud, and recalled in her mind that she was so frightened to tears in the Song residence just now.
He was so soft in his heart, but he still didn't continue to look at it. He straightened up and looked down at Jiang Li. After a long time, he sighed and carried him to the bed, pulled the brocade quilt to cover her, and then turned around and went out.
She didn't disturb the other people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and left in the dark, but it was useless. Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion knew that she returned to the palace late at night, and she didn't have any sleepiness at all. They were all guessing about their master and this Queen's relationship.
The guard guarding the gate looked at Qi Ning's back, then closed the gate, and chatted with his friends while changing guards. Everyone was puzzled by the recent weirdness.
"You said... Is it because our master has other goals? I always feel that he won't be so willing to submit to the empress..." As soon as the guard who closed the door just finished speaking, he saw Jiang Li standing there in a long white dress. At first glance, it looks like a ghost in the middle of the night.
"Master... my lord..." The guard knelt down subconsciously. The impression Jiang Li gave him before was that kind of female devil who kills without batting an eye. superior……
Jiang Li looked at the guard kneeling in front of her, a little puzzled, was she so scary?Before he could react, he found that the guard of the handsome seven-foot man had already shed tears...
"No... why are you crying! What I mean is to tell you, don't talk about others behind their backs. If one day you just finished speaking ill of others, you turn around and see that person, wouldn't it be embarrassing?" Jiang Li In fact, she was already awake when she was picked up just now, but she didn't dare to open her eyes. She didn't dare to come out until she confirmed that Qi Ning had already left. Who knew that she would bump into her own guard and gossip like a gossip.
After putting the words here, Jiang Li saw that he hadn't gotten up yet, so she didn't intend to bother, she tiptoed in and looked at the tightly closed door, so she gave up the idea of going out to see Qi Ning, turned around When I walked back to the house, I was still secretly spurning myself, why did I stay up in the middle of the night, and ran out to see people off?
Kneeling and trembling, the guard had not heard Jiang Li's voice for a long time, nor had he heard the news of his "death", so he boldly raised his head slightly, and found that there was no one in front of him, and his friend was still beside him Standing like a kid watching a joke.
"! My lord has already left, why didn't you tell me!" The guard felt exhausted for the rest of his life, so he sat down on the ground, blaming his so-called friend while resting.
The other guard was actually sweating for him just now. After all, Jiang Li's emotions are very unpredictable. Who knows why he was so tolerant all of a sudden this time? No.
"I think our lord may be in a good mood recently. Just be honest and stop talking about these masters behind their backs. Otherwise, ten heads won't be enough for you to cut off."
The guard nodded in fear, wiped the tears off his face, feeling ashamed, clutched his waist and ran to rest.
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Li's conditioned reflex opened her eyes.
