Chapter 229
Give up the job
Author: Singing Creek
Xiao Qi raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't see who was shouting.
If there hadn't been that shout, Xiao Qi might have thought that the horse's madness was just an accident.
Now, he had to suspect that someone behind Ma Er's madness was plotting against him, or plotting against the Zhenguo government, or maybe both.
Seeing that it was getting late, he handed over the matter to the guards and rode on the guards' horses to go to court.
However, no matter how hard the Zhenguo government and Shangguan government blocked the news, what happened between the two families still spread like wildfire.
The secret guards carried the dead horse back home. Xiao Ningyin was still in the manger and found the poisonous weed that looked like an ordinary weed.
Everyone said that the poisonous weed was a mistake made by the groom who fed the horses because he did not recognize the poisonous weed, but Xiao Ningyin knew that the poisonous weed grew on the top of the snow-capped mountains and could not be found in Daqi.
Snowy mountains? It seems that they can only be found in snowy areas. Could it be that the person who did this comes from snowy areas? This possibility is not impossible.
In the palace, the emperor also heard about what happened in the Zhenguo Palace, and quickly asked people to keep an eye on the palace. Fortunately, nothing happened in the palace for the time being.
For a time, there were rumors everywhere in Lingdu City that Xiao Ningyin was an unlucky person. Otherwise, why would so many things happen to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and Shangguan Yuan's family after the exchange of Geng Tie?
The reason why no one said anything bad about Xiao Bingyan was because everything went smoothly in the palace, which was always the most trouble-prone place.
What does this mean? Of course it means that Xiao Ningyin is an ominous person!
Otherwise, why was Xiao Jin kidnapped and died in Nandi after she was born? Otherwise, why did the Duke of Zhenguo's horses go crazy as soon as Shangguan Yuan came to propose marriage, and almost killed someone on the street?
After hearing these rumors, Xiao Ningyin was basically certain that the purpose of the poisoner was to disrupt her marriage with Shangguan Yuan.
She wanted to see who dared to make plans for Shangguan Yuan?
At this time, the envoys from the ten countries also arrived in Lingdu one after another.
Some of these missions were led by the king himself, and some were princes and princesses. Anyway, they were all people capable of taking charge of affairs in their respective countries.
The popularity caused by Xiao Ningyin and Shangguan Yuan also declined due to the arrival of these missions.
The ten-nation alliance officially kicked off.
In the case of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, the maid who anointed the vase with oil was found out. She said that she did it out of jealousy for Jinxiu, and that she hit the wall and committed suicide before using the truth pill on her.
The red fireweed was placed in the dog's food by a guard, who had already been silenced when he found it.
Duke Xiao Qi's horse went crazy, and the poisonous weeds were put into the fodder outside the mansion. This is difficult to investigate.
The branch that corroded the clothes was glued on by the boy. He stayed sneakily in the garden for a long time last night.
The boy also committed suicide before the guards went to arrest him.
In other words, all the clues have been cut off, and the person behind the scenes has retired.
Xiao Ningyin had a strong hunch that this person was hiding in the Zhenguo Palace. As for who it was, she arranged secret guards to monitor all the servants in the palace.
Shangguan Yuan took the time to come to the Zhenguo Palace in the evening and met Xiao Ningyin who was concentrating on practicing.
"Sister Yin'er, don't worry about those rumors outside." Shangguan Yuan said softly, looking at Xiao Ningyin's little face with a little baby fat.
Xiao Ningyin smiled and looked at Shangguan Yuan: "Brother Yuan, I don't care what those people say? What does my matter have to do with others?"
Maybe, in her last life, she still cared about what the outside world thought of her, but in this life, she doesn't care what others think of her. She just needs to be herself and have a clear conscience.
"It's best if you think so." Shangguan Yuan touched Xiao Ningyin's head, took out a hairpin engraved with butterflies and inserted it into Xiao Ningyin's hair: "This is the hairpin carved by me. I hope Yin'er
My sister can like it."
"Brother Yuan gave it to me. I like them all, especially." Xiao Ningyin happily reached out and touched the hosta stuck in her hair.
"Brother Yuan, don't worry, I'm not angry! They made me anxious. I won't practice the technique of repairing the barrier. Who among them is willing to repair the barrier and who will practice it. At worst, when the disaster comes,
I take my family and friends into the Haoling Space, where I can live happily for the rest of my life."
"Yeah. If they continue to speak ill of our Yin'er, we will give up our job." Shangguan Yuan said with a smile.
"Fourth Miss!" The maid came in holding a box: "Your Majesty announces that you and Third Miss will enter the palace tonight to attend the reception banquet to welcome the envoys from the nine countries."
Xiao Ningyin took the box and opened it to see a set of beautiful palace clothes and a set of gorgeous jewelry.
She couldn't help but pursed her lips: "Hey, I hate wearing palace clothes the most. It's heavy, cumbersome, and not fun at all."
Shangguan Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Then instead of wearing palace clothes, how about wearing this suit?"
Shangguan Yuan pulled out a golden box like a magic trick. When Xiao Ningyin opened it and took a look, she couldn't take her eyes away.
The skirt in the box is cut exactly according to Xiao Ningyin's figure. It is small and exquisite, and makes people happy just by looking at it.
The fabric is woven from natural pink silkworm silk, and the embroidery on it is completely different when viewed from different angles. What Shangguan Yuan saw was a small lotus showing its sharp corners, and a dragonfly was already standing on it. What Xiao Ningyin saw were several branches in the corner.
Mei Linghan drove alone.
When worn on the body, the pattern will continue to change as the owner of the skirt moves around.
Xiao Ningyin couldn't put it down as soon as she saw it, so she quickly took it to the room and put it on.
She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and couldn't help but scream: Where did this little fairy come from?
When she walked out of the room with a face full of joy, Shangguan Yuan turned around when he heard the voice and was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
"Brother Yuan! Brother Yuan!" Xiao Ninyin waved to Shangguan Yuan. When Shangguan Yuan came back to her senses, she raised her eyebrows proudly: "Am I pretty?"
Shangguan Yuan smiled: "It's beautiful! Sister Yin'er is the most beautiful!"
"Let's go!" Shangguan Yuan stretched out his hand to take Xiao Ningyin's hand: "I have told my ancestors and grandmother that you will come with me to the palace."
Xiao Ningyin generously put her hand into Shangguan Yuan's palm, and the two of them left the Zhenguo Palace and rode a horse towards the palace.
Shangguan Yuan let the horse go very slowly, and the two of them watched the prosperous scene of Lingdu along the way.
It was almost dark by this time, and the shops on the street had already lit up colorful lanterns and hung them inside their shops and under the eaves in front of their doors.
The last ray of sunlight at dusk shone on the two of them, as if they were crossing the golden edge.
Princess Gongliang Yuyuan of the Northern Qin Dynasty was sitting in a carriage. She opened the curtain and saw Shangguan Yuan, who was coated with a layer of golden light. This glance seemed to illuminate Gongliang Yuyuan's twelve years of gloomy life.
At this moment, Gongliang Yuyuan only had Shangguan Yuan in her eyes. Even if Xiao Ningyin was in Shangguan Yuan's arms at this moment, she couldn't see her.
"Hey! What's your name?" Gongliang Yuyuan shouted to Shangguan Yuan very rudely.
Shangguan Yuan seemed not to have heard anything, so he galloped faster and overtook Gong Liang Yuyuan's carriage.
Gongliang Yuyuan's face changed slightly and she shouted: "If you catch up with him, I, the princess, will be rewarded heavily!"
