Qi Ning understood Long Tai's current state of mind and said softly: "Your Majesty, the deal is done, so there is no need to think too much."
Longtai glanced at Qining, then loosened his fists, and sneered: "The people in the Sima family are all so arrogant and domineering, and they are all good at acting." He stood up and said: "Sima Lan was injured that day, and even I was injured. He kept it secret, and he has been acting in front of his father all these years."
Qi Ning said: "I was also surprised that day. I couldn't understand why Sima Lan's horse was suddenly frightened. Moreover, at his age, even if he had to ride in a sedan, he chose to ride on horseback. It turned out that he had some intentions. Deceitful." He sneered and said, "Sima Lan already knew that King Huainan had arranged an assassin. He was worried that if he arrived at the imperial mausoleum that night and the assassin attacked him secretly, even if Shadow Mouse could not succeed, he would not be able to prove that the assassin was King Huainan. group."
Longtai nodded and said: "So this old thief is very cunning, so you must be more careful with him." He looked solemn, silent for a moment, and then said: "You go first, I will talk to you later."
Qi Ning knew that Longtai was exhausted both physically and mentally today, so he comforted him: "Your Majesty, you must take care of your dragon body." He bowed and retreated.
After leaving the palace, it was already past midnight, but Qi Ning did not go back directly to the house. He took a detour to the place where he met Bai Shenghao. Seeing Qi Ning coming over in the middle of the night, Bai Shenghao was quite surprised. He welcomed Qi Ning into the back room without waiting for Qi Ning. As he spoke, Bai Shenghao had already said: "Master Hou, there has been no movement from Prince Dong Qi's side, so there should be no problem. Over there at the Imperial Mausoleum...!"
"The gray crow is right, the shadow mice have sneaked into the imperial mausoleum." Qi Ning immediately briefly explained what happened in the imperial mausoleum. Bai Shenghao was surprised and said: "The King of Huainan fell? In this case, the Sima family is not a family. Domination?"
"At present, this is the situation." Qining didn't want to talk more about government affairs and asked: "What is the current situation of Gray Crow?"
Bai Shenghao sighed: "The aura has been very weak. Zhong Ya still hasn't found out what kind of poison he was poisoned. If he waits to find out the poison and then find the antidote, I'm afraid it will be too late. This gray crow is most likely...!" "Shaked his head.
Although Gray Crow was born as a Shadow Mouse, he kept his promise this time and worked hard to deliver the news. He was considered a man.
Qi Ning frowned slightly, suddenly thought of something, slapped his head and said, "I'm really confused. I almost forgot about something."
Bai Shenghao said in surprise: "What did the Marquis forget?"
Qi Ning smiled and said: "There is a miracle doctor in my house who has superb medical skills. Just in case, I once asked her for some miraculous medicine." Without further explanation, he quickly walked to the house where Gray Crow was housed. Bai Shenghao He followed behind and said softly: "Master Hou, Zhong Ya has worked too hard these past two days and is very sleepy. I asked him to go for a while first. If he is not in the house, do you want to ask him to come over and help?"
Qin Ning shook his head and smiled: "No need, let him have a good rest." He walked to the door and said: "Master Bai, I can do it by myself."
Bai Shenghao was so shrewd that he understood immediately and said, "Then I will wait outside."
Qi Ning nodded, pushed the door into the house, and bolted the door with his backhand. Although blocking Bai Shenghao from the door seemed to make people feel defensive, Qi Ning had no choice but to do it.
It suddenly occurred to him that he had successfully transformed his blood with the help of Tang Nuo. Tang Nuo had told him that after transforming his blood with the Youhan Bead, not only would he be immune to all poisons, but his own blood would also have the effect of detoxifying.
Qining naturally had no doubts about Tang Nuo's words. He just suddenly thought of this and felt happy.
Qi Ning has a clear sense of grievances. Although Gray Crow is a Shadow Mouse, he still risked his life to do things for himself this time. Although this person is sneaky, his character is not bad. If he has a chance to save him, Qi Ning will Don't mind giving him a little blood.
But Qining naturally didn't want too many people to know about this kind of thing.
Although Bai Shenghao has always been respectful to him and provided a lot of help, the less people know about his invulnerable secret, the better.
Walking to the bed, the color on Gray Crow's face seemed dustier than before, and his breath was even fainter. If you didn't listen carefully, you would really think that this guy had lost his breath.
Qi Ning knew that the sooner the detoxification happened, the better. He sighed softly and said in a low voice: "Gray Crow, Gray Crow, you are really lucky to have met me, otherwise you would have followed those shadow rats to cause chaos in the imperial mausoleum this time. My life must be at stake. I never thought that this drop of my detoxifying blood would be given to you." He took out the personal cold blade, stretched out a finger, and without hesitation, cut a cut on the finger, then put away the cold blade, He stretched out his hand to cover the gray crow's mouth, opened his mouth, and then moved his fingers closer, letting the blood drip into the gray crow's mouth.
After more than ten drops of blood, Qining took back his hand and looked at the gray crow, thinking that he had done his best. Whether the gray crow could come back to life depended on his luck.
After leaving the door, Bai Shenghao came forward. Qi Ning put his hands behind his back and said, "I have given him the medicine. Whether he lives or dies depends on his own destiny. If he comes back alive, let him rest for a few days." , if he wants to leave, let him do what he wants, if he wants to stay, let me know when the time comes, and I will arrange errands for him."
Bai Shenghao said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, I will take good care of you here."
Qi Ning smiled slightly and said goodbye to Bai Shenghao before returning home. When he returned to Jinyihou Mansion, it was already past Chou hour, and although the sky was not bright yet, it was not far from dawn.
Qi Ning called to open the door, but Qi Feng opened the door himself. When he saw Qi Ning, he said happily: "Master Marquis, you are back." He came forward and whispered: "Someone has been waiting for most of the night."
"Waiting for most of the night?" Qining looked up and saw bright lights in the main hall, and asked curiously: "Who is waiting for me?"
Qi Feng chuckled and said: "Master Hou, if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't have guessed it anyway." He said in a low voice: "It's Su Zhen, that repetitive villain, and Dou Kui. Neither of them are good." Stuff.”
"It's them?" Qi Ning was a little surprised. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips. Without saying anything, he walked over. Before entering the main hall, he heard loud snoring coming from the house. He glanced at the door and saw When he arrived at Wuxiang, Hou Suzhen was leaning on a big chair, sleeping deeply. Another person was sitting next to him, with one finger lightly touching the tabletop of the desk, thoughtfully.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man immediately turned around. Qi Ning recognized that the man was Dou Kui, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. When Dou Kui saw Qi Ning, he hurriedly reached out and pushed Su Zhen. He hurriedly got up and went up quickly. He came forward and knelt down on the ground without saying a word. Qi Ning immediately reached out and grabbed his shoulders and said, "Master Dou, what are you doing?"
Dou Kui knelt on the ground, raised his head and said, "Master Marquis, I am here to apologize today!"
Su Zhen was sleeping deeply, but when Dou Kui pushed him, he woke up. He looked over here in a daze. When he saw Qi Ning, he also stood up and quickly took two steps towards this side, but stopped instantly. He put his hands behind his back and walked forward slowly.
Qi Ning said: "Master Dou, we have something to talk about, so there is no need to do this." He turned around and said: "Qi Feng, serve tea quickly, don't neglect the guests."
Dou Kui stood up reluctantly. Perhaps he was too tired. His body swayed and he almost lost his balance. He smiled bitterly and said: "Master Marquis, if it hadn't been for Master Marquis this time, my Dou family would have been in disaster. I'm afraid that the official would have been imprisoned now." Into prison.”
Qi Ning raised his hand to invite the two of them to sit down and said with a smile, "Master Dou, you are serious."
"The King of Huainan is ruthless and wants to kill everyone. Everyone can see it." Dou Kui said: "In recent years, Xiaguan and the King of Huainan have been very close because of official business. Although they knew nothing about the rebellion of the Huainan King in advance, People say it's scary, if it weren't for the Marquis, the Sima family would definitely have a big case, and the lower officials would not be spared."
Su Zhen said from the side: "Jin Yihou, Master Dou's words are true. Sima Lan deliberately laid a trap and designed to kill King Huainan...!"
Qi Ning frowned before he could finish his words and said, "Marquis of Wuxiang, you can't say that. Whether Duke Zhen Guo set up a trap or not, there is no real evidence and cannot be speculated at will, but King Huainan ambushed the assassins and even bribed the tomb guards in advance. and Yu Linying, these are irrefutable facts, and it cannot be said that Zhen Guogong harmed him."
Su Zhen was startled, with a look of displeasure on his face, but Dou Kui had already said: "What the Marquis said is absolutely true. But in the final analysis, the Sima family is becoming more and more arrogant and domineering in the court. If they are allowed to act so wantonly, what will happen next?" If the official says something that shouldn't be said, sooner or later the great Chu will...!" He hesitated, but finally didn't say it.
Qi Ning said with a smile: "The situation has reached this point and cannot be changed. However, the King of Huainan is causing chaos, and the Sima family will not let it go. After the Holy Sage's wedding, I'm afraid...!"
Su Zhen and Dou Kui both changed their colors slightly. Su Zhen leaned slightly closer and asked, "Did you come from the palace just now?"
"What's wrong?" Qi Ning glanced at Su Zhen.
Su Zhen whispered: "What does the Emperor think of this incident?"
Qi Ning sighed: "Of course he is heartbroken. The emperor did not expect that King Huainan would ignore the overall situation and cause such a big mess during the sacrificial ceremony." He shook his head and said: "No matter what, King Huainan belongs to Emperor Taizu. He is the direct bloodline and the Emperor's uncle, and if he ends up like this, the Emperor will naturally feel uncomfortable."
"That's it?" Su Zhen sneered: "The Sima family is unscrupulous in the imperial mausoleum. Even a blind man can see that they are almost threatening the emperor. Doesn't the emperor feel resentful in his heart?"
"If the Marquis of Wuxiang wants to know what the Emperor is thinking, why not go to the palace yourself and ask the Emperor about his thoughts." Qi Ning said calmly: "At least I don't dare to speculate on the Emperor's thoughts without permission." After a pause, he said He said in a low voice: "But what the emperor wants, since King Huainan has caused rebellion, if he ignores King Huainan's gang members next, he is worried that it will be false, so if the Sima family continues to pursue the remaining party after the wedding, the emperor It’s also hard to stop.”
Dou Kui's eyes flashed and he said: "Master Marquis, then...does that mean that after the wedding, the emperor...the emperor will let the Sima family continue to be responsible for the investigation?"
