Early the next morning, Ning Jiuwei and Qi Lexuan were having breakfast in their room. Suddenly they heard a commotion downstairs. She stood up, opened the door, and looked downstairs.
"This is it, surround this place."
Yan Xu, who was wearing armor, waved his hand, and dozens of Forbidden soldiers behind him, with spring knives embroidered on their waists and hips, surrounded the restaurant, which frightened the people in the restaurant and kept screaming.
"Master, Master, what's going on? The small restaurant is running a serious business, this is..." the owner of the restaurant asked.
Hearing the restaurant owner's words, Yan Xu glanced at him coldly, then strode in, looked around, and said, "There are two women living here, one named Qi Lexuan, and the other Named... Ning Jiuwei?"
After all, the restaurant owner is a very shrewd person who has been in business for so many years. Hearing Yan Xu's words, he immediately understood and said with a busy smile: "Master, please wait a moment, I will go and check it out."
"No, Zhao Yan, bring someone to search for me." Yan Xu turned to the little leader beside him and said.
Zhao Yan heard Yan Xu's words, clasped her fists and nodded, saying, "Yes."
Zhao Yan was just about to take action. Ning Jiu frowned and walked down slowly. Yan Xu felt that a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world suddenly appeared in front of him. She had a graceful figure and a plain floor-length skirt embroidered with elegant Orchid, ink-like hair is pulled up, eyebrows are slightly frowned but not frowned, and a pair of phoenix eyes are slightly raised, which is quite charming.
Following Ning Jiuwei was Qi Lexuan, wearing a goose-yellow dress with pear blossoms embroidered on it, her apricot eyes sparkling and extremely shy.
"No need to look for it. I wonder what this official wants from me?" Ning Jiuwei walked up to Yan Xu and asked coldly.
Yan Xu calmed down after hearing Ning Jiuwei's words. He stared at Ning Jiuwei for a while and asked, "Are you Qi Lexuan?"
"I'm Qi Lexuan." Qi Lexuan walked over from behind Ning Jiuwei and said bluntly with her head stuck out.
"The Queen Mother wants to see you, come on, tie them up for me." After Yan Xu finished speaking, he waved in the direction of the two people.
Ning Jiuwei and Qi Lexuan looked at each other. Why did the Queen Mother want to see them? If it was to thank them, it would not be in this formation. What was going on.
"What if we don't go?" Ning Jiu asked with a slight frown.
Yan Xu looked at Ning Jiuwei, snorted coldly and said, "It's not up to you. Grab him and take him away."
When Qi Lexuan heard these words, she moved her fingers slightly, but Ning Jiuwei held them down silently, and whispered in her ear: "Have you brought the gold medal?"
Hearing Ning Jiuwei's words, Qi Lexuan nodded slightly, because Yan Xu had already turned his head and walked outside at this time, so no one saw the small movements of the two people.
"The Queen Mother, we have been brought here." Cui Xin glanced at Mrs. Gu who was sitting below and whispered in the Queen Mother's ear.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly and said, "Since you are here, bring him here and let the Ai family see who is so brave and dares to murder the second young master of the Mu family."
"Your Majesty, slave..." Cui Xin heard the Queen Mother's words and whispered a few words softly into the Queen Mother's ear.
Mrs. Gu looked at this scene and frowned slightly. What did Cui Xin say? Why did the Queen Mother, who was so angry just now, soften her face now, even with a bit of a smile? Did she see it wrong? .
"Go and invite them in." The Queen Mother put down the tea cup and said with a soothing eyebrow.
After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Mrs. Gu's face became even worse. She had just put it on, but now it turned into "please". For some reason, Mrs. Gu felt a little uneasy, always feeling that things would not develop as she wanted. Go down.
Ning Jiuwei and Qi Lexuan walked in. They both saw Mrs. Gu and Mu Nanfeng at first sight. They understood a little bit, but they were confused as to why Mrs. Gu was still holding on to them.
Although she was puzzled, Ning Jiuwei remained silent. She raised her head and looked at the queen mother in the first seat, with a touch of dignity and alienation in her kindness, and the two slowly knelt on the ground.
"Daughters of the people come to see the Queen Mother, may she be blessed and safe." Ning Jiuwei saluted and said.
Qi Lexuan imitated Ning Jiuwei's movements step by step, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice: "The daughter of the people comes to see the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be safe and sound."
The Queen Mother looked at Qi Lexuan and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to be you, girl. Get up quickly."
"The Queen Mother? Are you the Queen Mother?" Qi Lexuan stood up, covered her mouth with her hands, and said in surprise.
Ning Jiuwei looked at Qi Lexuan's performance and stood aside with a smile. It seemed that the Queen Mother really had a good impression of Qi Lexuan.
Seeing Qi Lexuan's surprised expression, the Queen Mother was obviously very helpful. She nodded with a smile and said, "Well, the Ai family didn't expect to see a girl like you again so soon."
"The Queen Mother, Yun Xiao is still unconscious." Mrs. Gu felt bad when she saw this scene, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, hoping to remind the Queen Mother that Yun Xiao was the Queen Mother's nephew after all.
When the Queen Mother heard Mrs. Gu's words, she frowned. She was a little dissatisfied with Mrs. Gu, but she was also worried about Yun Xiao's condition, so she stopped smiling.
"The Ai family is asking you, the day before yesterday afternoon, you injured Mu Yunxiao in Cuiyun Tower? And you poisoned her?" The Queen Mother's smile faded, and her expression turned calm in an instant.
Ning Jiuwei glanced at Mrs. Gu, lowered her head and kowtowed, and said, "Yesterday afternoon, Min Nu did injure Mu Yunxiao, but Min Nu did not do anything about poisoning."
"You are so brave. Do you know who Mu Yunxiao is, and you are allowed to do this?" The Queen Mother suddenly frowned and slapped her hand on the chair, making a sound.
Mrs. Gu stood up, looked at Ning Jiuwei condescendingly, and then said: "The Queen Mother, this Ning Jiuwei is cunning and stubborn. She beat Yun Xiao in Mu Mansion in front of his wife half a month ago. , I didn’t want to argue with her, but now she has hurt someone again and attempted to kill my son, and she really deserves to be punished."
The Queen Mother's eyes were gloomy. This girl was so ruthless at such a young age. She even attacked Mu Yunxiao repeatedly after knowing her identity. She was extremely arrogant. If she was not dealt with now, she would be punished in the future.
"After murdering a loyal minister, the following crimes are unforgivable. Someone will come and take her to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and she will be executed at a later date." The Queen Mother sealed Ning Jiuwei's fate with a wave of her hand.
Ning Jiuwei said nothing because she knew the Queen Mother. In her heart, the Mu family was more important than anything else, even more important than her son, the current emperor.
