"So, are you planning to subtract a copy of the imperial edict in a reasonable way?" Chu Jihan said slowly, still thinking about the logic of the matter, "Then where did you go with the original imperial edict that was cut out? "
[Hahahaha, this is my plan to kill two birds with one stone. It not only solves the imperial edict, but also sends the old witch away, saving her from targeting me every day.]
Su Ningxin thought proudly in her heart, but her face did look enigmatic.
Chu Jihan: "..." The only disadvantage of being able to read minds is that there is no sense of mystery at all. Su Ningxin probably took the imperial edict to her second uncle's house.
Chu Jihan's second uncle is the youngest son that the old princess loves. After the palace was separated, he divided some family property. Now he is completely defeated. If there is anything that can make the old princess anxious, it is probably this younger son. .
As Chu Jihan expected, with the princess's long-standing foundation in Daming Mansion and the fact that Su Ningxin deliberately left clues for her, by dinner time the princess followed the clues and found her second uncle's house, returning the stolen goods and gaining the land. I found half of the unburned imperial edict.
The so-called people sit at home and the pot comes from the sky is probably like this.
However, Chu Jihan's second uncle's family did not deserve sympathy, because most of the old princess' actions against the princess and Su Ningxin after she came back were instigated by the second aunt behind their backs, and it was appropriate to punish his family a little.
Regarding the discovery of the real culprit who stole the imperial edict, the happiest people were not the people of Prince Anjun's mansion, but the couple of grandparents and grandchildren who came to the mansion as guests. Because the loss of the imperial edict involved them, they stayed in the mansion. leave.
If no evidence is found, the palace will definitely not treat them badly, but they are afraid in their hearts, lest they be implicated. Even if the palace provides delicious food and drinks, they will still taste the same. Now that the real culprit has been found, they can be allowed to go home. , they are naturally lucky.
The subsequent development was as Su Ningxin predicted. It involved such a big thing as destroying the imperial edict. Prince Anjun's palace would definitely send people to arrest everyone in the second uncle's family. Naturally, the old princess would not let such a thing happen. occurring.
So the old princess took a carriage and rushed directly to the second uncle's house to sit down. After all, the princess was a younger generation and she definitely couldn't rush into her elders and break into the second uncle's house, so the two parties were in a stalemate.
Although the princess didn't know what happened in the meantime, she had no intention of actually coming to arrest anyone, she was just pretending.
How the second house will be dealt with in the end, and how they will be punished if they fail to keep the imperial edict depends on the emperor's will. In fact, even if the second house is arrested, they can't do anything.
It happened to take this opportunity to scare the old princess and make her stay in the second bedroom's house without daring to leave. It also happened to make their county prince's house quiet and quiet.
Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan were sitting across from each other drinking tea when they got the news from the second house. When they heard that the old princess was going to stay in the second house for a long time, Su Ningxin picked up the tea cup and took a sip with satisfaction. Sure enough, she was in a good mood and the tea was fragrant. A few points.
At this time, Shuangbai walked in in a hurry, and without shying away from Chu Jihan, reported directly, "Girl, we have found the leader and the others."
"Found it?" Su Ningxin said in surprise. When she stood up suddenly, she still remembered to keep her balance and not drop the tea cup. Her most beloved tea set was in distress.
Chu Jihan also felt that he was relieved a lot during this period, so he and Su Ningxin hurriedly changed their clothes and left the palace together.
After Gu Mingxi and the others were found, they stayed at a farmhouse to repair. After all, the ban on searching for assassins in the city had not yet been lifted, and it was inconvenient for them to enter the city.
On the way to see Gu Mingxi, Su Ningxin had already asked about the situation. The few people were not seriously injured. They only had some scratches from going down the river, which were not serious.
However, the situation was a little different from what was predicted. Su Zhan, who had already moved out of the manor at that time, came back to get something after leaving something behind. He happened to meet Gu Mingxi and others who were being hunted, so he resisted the secret guards with them, and later fell into the trap together. Into the river.
Su Ningxin said that it was a long time ago. The engagement between Su Zhan and the boss was a big deal at first, and he seemed to have lingering feelings for the boss. It happened that the boss's fiancé Chu Luoye was also there. This scene was so exciting to think about. It feels like a Shura field.
Another thing that was unexpected was that Yang Bodang came to help. He was not included in the original plan, so whether he could swim or not was not considered.
And Yang Bodang also lived up to expectations. Sure enough, he couldn't swim and fell into the river and almost drowned. Lin Yue got separated from Gu Mingxi and others in order to save him. Gu Mingxi and others did not come back for so long because they were looking for Lin Yue. Yue and Yang Bodang.
After walking for a long time, Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan arrived at the village outside the city. When they entered the house, they saw Gu Mingxi calmly drinking tea with a thick bowl, and Chu Luoye and Su Zhan, who were at war with each other.
Just standing at the door, Su Ningxin felt the atmosphere of lightning and thunder in the room, which made her stop at the door, hesitating whether to go in.
"Come in." Gu Mingxi said, and Su Ningxin bravely walked in. After a quick glance, she saw Lin Yue and Yang Bodang pretending to be wooden figures in the corner.
"See your Majesty." Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan immediately pretended to know that Gu Mingxi's identity had not yet been exposed to Yang Bodang.
After she recovered, Su Ningxin pretended to ask, "Does the Emperor know who the assassin is?"
Hearing Su Ningxin's question, Yang Bodang in the corner couldn't help but shudder, and then shrank back.
He doesn't know whether he should be happy or sad now. He is lucky that he helped the emperor and others, which made the Yang family less suspicious. He is sad because the emperor was not killed, so this matter will definitely not let go. , then the Yang family would be in danger.
"I don't know, have you found any results over there?" Gu Mingxi said casually.
"Prince An was also injured in an assassination attempt. The city closed the city gates to search for the assassins. General Shen Zhao and I managed to escape from the assassination before we could enter the city." Su Ningxin explained that the purpose was to stabilize the situation. Yang Bo should be there to prevent the Yang family from jumping over the wall. They still don't know what the situation in the capital is like, and they are not sure how to deal with the Yang family.
As expected, Yang Bodang came forward and interrupted, "I didn't expect Prince An to be assassinated. There must be chaos in the Prince's mansion. Why don't you, Your Majesty, come to stay at Yang's house first?"
Su Ningxin held her throat and pretended to be a eunuch, and sneered, "Go and stay at Yang's house? Do you want the emperor to be assassinated again?"
Yang Bodang hated this dead eunuch in his heart, but he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "The Yang family didn't protect him well. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
