Yang Ning was lying on the bed. Although she was a little tired, she couldn't fall asleep.
Although the internal energy problem in Dantian was temporarily solved by Duan Canghai, the assassination incident tonight made Yang Ning think deeply.
Tonight's assassination was obviously carefully planned in advance. The other party not only knew his itinerary, but also carefully planned the assassination method.
If he hadn't seen the flaw in the servant in green, he would have probably drank the cup of tea. However, after Zhao Wushang checked, he found that the cup of tea was poisoned.
The opponent was obviously planning to kill himself with poison at first, but he didn't expect that he would be alert enough to see through the assassin's identity, and the assassin immediately carried out the second assassination plan.
Thinking about it now, if he was really the prince in Jinyi, he would have been easily killed by the other party without any warning.
The first person he suspected to be the real culprit behind the scenes was the gray-robed elder who had turned into a eunuch.
Zhao Wushang was right about one thing. The assassin knew the internal layout of Zhongling Villa, so he must have been familiar with it. The gray-robed elder seemed to be from the palace, and this courtyard It is a royal building. Since he has connections in the palace, he probably knows the other courtyard very well.
If the gray-robed elder sees through his identity, but is unable to reveal the truth about pretending to be the Jinyi Crown Prince to the public, secretly assassinating him would be a good option.
One thing Yang Ning knows very well is that no matter who does something, there is a motive. The assassination of a hereditary marquis' prince is certainly not a trivial matter. There is of course a huge motive afterwards. In other words, if the Jinyi prince is assassinated, , whoever benefits the most will be the most suspect.
He almost died here tonight, which made Yang Ning feel angry in his heart.
In fact, Yang Ning is not a very complicated person. His bottom line is also very simple: repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred.
I will not offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will offend them!
Although the target of the assassination was Prince Jinyi, he was the one who almost lost his life. He had already posed a direct threat to himself. Yang Ning was still thinking about whether to sneak away and give up the hot position of Prince Jinyi, but now he But he wanted to find out the real culprit who wanted to kill him.
He almost lost his life, so naturally he couldn't leave the other party unharmed.
In addition, Duan Canghai's warning made Yang Ning feel uneasy. The Liuhe Divine Art has absorbed the internal energy of many people. According to Duan Canghai, the energy in his body has reached the level of a third-level master. Yang Ning cannot judge the strength of these third-level masters. No matter how high it is, one thing he is sure of is that if the energy in his body is not resolved, he will always be in danger.
Since Duan Canghai said he would find a way to help him solve this problem, he really has to count on him now. Before solving this problem, if the situation was not too serious, he, the prince, would still have to continue pretending.
That night Yang Ning tossed and turned and could not fall asleep. As soon as it dawned the next day, someone called the door. The funeral team set off early in the morning to go to Zhongling Mausoleum.
The funeral of aristocratic families is very complicated, with all kinds of details. Although Yang Ning does not have to do any physical work, he can only try his best to cooperate with all the etiquette throughout the day.
In addition, in addition to burying the wonders in Zhongling, because the grave of the old marquis is also within Zhongling, a special memorial ceremony for the old marquis must be made, and a ritual ceremony must also be performed by the way.
It is really rare that two generations of the Chu Kingdom, father and son, can enter the Zhongling Mausoleum and be laid to rest, which is enough to show the past glory of the Marquis Jinyi.
It wasn't until midnight that all matters were completed, but Qi Jing's funeral did not end there. According to custom, after the funeral team returned to Jinyihou Mansion, they had to perform rituals for seven days and seven nights, called a requiem ceremony. After the requiem ceremony is completed, the funeral is truly over.
The team did not delay at Zhongling. After the day, everyone was a little tired, so they could only rest outside Zhongling for half the night. At dawn the next day, they set off back to the capital. When they returned to the Marquis Mansion in the capital, the sky was dark. It was already late, and Gu Qinghan had already made preparations in the house, and had been conducting requiem rituals since that night.
The young and old in the mansion were not allowed to leave for the first three days. As the eldest son, Yang Ning could not leave even an inch. He persisted for three days in a row. His body was already immature, and after three days, he was already exhausted.
Fortunately, once the three days have passed, everyone in the clan can leave, leaving only the Taoist priests to continue performing rituals in the specially arranged main hall.
After a few days, Yang Ning felt itchy all over, so she took a quick bath, fell down on her soft breasts and fell asleep. She slept so darkly that she didn't know how long it took before she woke up and turned around. I was full of energy. I jumped out of bed, wearing only a pair of pants, and punched a few times with my upper body bare. I felt a lot stronger.
I looked out the window and saw that the sky was dim and bright. I didn't know whether it was dusk or dawn. I felt a little hungry in my belly. I was looking for someone to get some food when I heard a voice from behind: "Ning'er, are you awake?"
Yang Ning was startled and turned around to look, only to see Gu Qinghan appearing in the room at some unknown time. At this time, he was wearing a well-tailored and high-quality purple palace dress, leaning on a big chair, holding a fragrant cheek in one hand. A lock of hair fell down from the side, and the purple palace dress wrapped her undulating and hot body. There was a light on the table, and the light shone on her shimmering dress, as if she was a mermaid lying on the beach. .
She seemed to have just been awakened, with a hint of charming laziness on her beautiful face. She stood up and stretched out. Her waist was slender, but this movement made her breasts fuller, and she seemed to be holding up her clothes. out.
Yang Ning's heart skipped a beat, and she felt her face feel a little hot, but she thought that when she was wearing mourning clothes, she felt that Gu Qinghan had a graceful figure. Now that she had taken off her mourning clothes, she had a round waist, rounded hips, and plump breasts. It turned out that her figure was better than her own. What I want is more graceful and hot, full of the unique charming charm of a mature young woman.
According to etiquette, once the first three days of the requiem ceremony are over, one must take off the mourning clothes and change into regular clothes, otherwise it will be unlucky.
"Sanniang, you... why are you here?" Yang Ning was shirtless, grabbed a coat and put it on her body.
Gu Qinghan glanced out of the window, then smiled and said: "It's almost dawn, Ning'er, I'll go get someone to prepare food for you." He then explained: "Canghai Qiantian told me that you met in Zhongling Villa. Being an assassin is something I keep in mind. I have come here a few times to ask you how you are now. You have been sleeping. When I came here last night, you were still sleeping and muttering something. I was worried that you would be hungry when you woke up. I'm awake, so I'm waiting for you to wake up here, I don't want to fall asleep here too...!"
Yang Ning turned around and walked over, and saw that although Gu Qinghan was pretty, her complexion was not very good. She knew that this huge mansion, with hundreds of people in it, was almost all supported by this weak body, especially Qi Qinghan. After Jing's death, there were internal and external troubles, and Gu Qinghan was under unprecedented pressure. It was not easy to survive until now.
In such a big family, there are a bunch of big men who don't know what to say, but such a weak woman is struggling to support her. Yang Ning felt deep in her heart and said softly: "Sanniang, haven't you had a good rest? Don't be too tired. "
"Ning'er also knows how to care about people." Gu Qinghan smiled gently and said, "Don't worry about Sanniang, you see Sanniang looks very good and can survive anything."
"The funeral is almost over. Now you have to have a good rest. If there's anything I can do, just let me do it." Yang Ning said, "I'm so old. I can't just sit and eat without doing anything. , how is that different from them?"
Gu Qinghan looked at her for a while, with a hint of relief in her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "Ning'er has really grown up. If the general knows better, he will definitely rest in peace." So he held Yang Ning's hand and looked up and down. He frowned and said, "Ning'er, are you hurt? Are you feeling any discomfort in your body?"
Yang Ning once again felt the smoothness of Gu Qinghan's boneless jade hands, and smiled: "Sanniang, don't worry, it's really okay. The assassin's skills are too ordinary. It's not that easy to kill me."
"Still playful and smiling." Gu Qinghan patted his chest lightly, a wave of microwaves rippled, he glared at Yang Ning, and said reproachfully: "Why don't you know the importance of this child? You must be careful in the future. You were kidnapped just now, and you are kidnapped again this time. The assassin is here, Ning'er, there are many evil-minded people, so be more careful in the future."
Yang Ning smelled the faint body fragrance emanating from Gu Qinghan's body and felt a little excited. She saw Gu Qinghan frowning and said: "Those people in the other hospital are really guilty of their crimes. They can't even protect your safety. You always have to be punished. But...who wants to be so cruel to you?"
"Don't worry, Sanniang. I will definitely find out who stabbed you in the back." Yang Ning sneered, "Of course I can't let him live happily."
"Are you going to check?" Gu Qinghan smiled and said, "What can you find out?"
Yang Ning said deliberately: "Sanniang, do you look down on Ning'er again? Is Ning'er really that useless?" After saying this, she deliberately looked distressed.
Gu Qinghan said hurriedly: "It's Sanniang's fault. Sanniang said the wrong thing. Ning'er is the heir of Jinyihou. Of course, he will not be useless, and he will definitely be able to do great things."
These days, Yang Ning has obviously changed. She is obviously much smarter than before. This makes Gu Qinghan happy. Like Duan Canghai, he also thought that Yang Ning became enlightened because of the stimulation of being kidnapped. He was afraid that he The words hit Yang Ning's self-confidence.
"Yes, has the money from Jiangling been delivered?" Yang Ning suddenly asked: "It has been quite a while, and our pawnshop is still mortgaged by the bank."
Gu Qinghan frowned and said: "I don't know what happened. There has been no news for a long time. I just hope there was no accident on the way. Although there have been delays before, it has never been so long. I have sent people to Jiangling to inquire. There should be news in a few days." She smiled charmingly and said, "Ning'er can really take care of Sanniang now, and Sanniang will be much more relaxed in the future."
Yang Ning smiled when he saw her pretty face, which was as beautiful as a peach and plum. She was extremely charming. Her pink lips were like ripe cherries. They trembled slightly. Her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but be startled. Gu Qinghan saw Yang Ning looking at him. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt something strange, his heart skipped a beat, and his pink face felt slightly hot. He quickly retracted his hand and said, "I... I'll prepare something for you."
Yang Ning also noticed something strange about herself, smiled awkwardly, and turned around. Gu Qinghan also turned around and walked out the door. He looked back at Yang Ning and felt his face getting warm.
She has always looked at Yang Ning as a child, but at that moment, she found that Yang Ning's eyes were completely different from before. It was exactly the way a man looked at a woman. She was someone who had been through this before and was extremely sensitive. He came, raised his hands to cover his face, and thought to himself: "Ning'er has grown up, sometimes...sometimes you still have to be more careful, that look in his eyes just now...!" Then he thought: "Ning'er has grown up, and starts to think about women. It’s not surprising, it’s just that it’s time to get married, what’s most hateful is that Su Zhen goes back on his word, he’s really not a thing…!”
