Mu Zhiyun's question really stopped Su Ning's heart. Both Chu Jihan and Chang were busy these days. The news about the Minister of War was only confirmed after she and Mu Zhiyun came over in person. Yes, I haven’t had time to tell the emperor yet.
The main reason is that all the overt and covert forces under the emperor are now investigating the hidden soldiers in the capital. From the Long Guard to Xiyan in the covert, and from the Imperial Guard to the Jinwu Guard in the covert, all of them want to search the capital three feet deep. .
If she told the Emperor that there was a problem with the Minister of War, but it turned out to be a mistake, Su Ningxin suspected that the Emperor would strangle her to death on the spot.
Being stared at by Mu Zhiyun, Su Ningxin rubbed her fingers in great stress and discussed, "How about we send someone to monitor first and wait until we see the emperor's arrangements before taking action?"
As soon as Su Ningxin finished speaking, the two of them heard the sound of killing coming from a street away. The two of them looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces.
"Isn't it just a warning?" Mu Zhiyun asked uncertainly.
Su Ningxin shook her head. She had a bad feeling in her heart. Could it be that Prince Jing was really desperate and wanted to take action now
"We can't control that much anymore. Let's deal with the Minister of War first. If we can reduce their strength by one point, it will be one point." Su Ningxin said.
"Okay." Mu Zhiyun nodded seriously, and then he and Su Ningxin each took out a medicine bottle from their sleeves at the same time.
Su Ningxin looked at Mu Zhiyun's hands, then moved to her face, and finally moved to her own hands, "What is this?"
Mu Zhiyun replied blankly, "Chishang, those who eat it will faint. Not only will they faint, but they will also lose their martial arts, and they will not be able to recover after waking up."
"Very good." Su Ningxin put the medicine bottle in her hand back, and even wanted to give Mu Zhiyun a high-five. As expected of people who are also Feng Ying, they all had the same idea.
Su Ningxin's medicine bottle was also from Chishang. She felt that since the other party was a treasonous person, it was good not to directly use the poison to seal the throat with blood.
Now let them faint and be unable to act, so as not to follow Prince Jing to force him into the palace. As for the after-sales service problem of not recovering the martial arts in the future, Su Ningxin has never provided it. Unexpectedly, Mu Zhiyun thought the same as her.
When the two people decided to take action, the sound of killings in the next street had become much quieter. It was unknown whether those people were subdued by the officers and soldiers or ran away. From this, it can be inferred that the situation was not as Su Ning thought. Prince Jing took action in advance. .
However, since Su Ningxin and Mu Zhiyun have already decided, they will not change just because there is not a large-scale mutiny over there.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that Su Ningxin's worries will not happen. Prince Jing thought that the emperor was still staying in Daming Mansion, and naturally he would not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He had been waiting for the throne for decades, and finally Naturally, he can afford to wait during this period of time. After all, he strives to kill with one strike, so he will not be careless in his early preparations.
As for the incident at the Xuanning Hou Mansion, it would probably only make Prince Jing more vigilant, but he would not have thought that the emperor had secretly returned to the capital.
Because Prince Jing has obviously investigated Chu Jihan's identity, he must know that the emperor has kept secret guards in the capital. It is certain that they encountered obstruction from the secret guards during the arrangement. The matter in the Xuanning Hou Mansion also involved Su The family was unlucky and fell directly into the hands of Chu Jihan. Not only did they not get rid of him, they also lost themselves.
While Su Ningxin was analyzing the current situation in her mind, she and Mu Zhiyun climbed over the wall and entered the house of the Minister of War. They found the spy who had been placed in their house and handed the Chishang poison to Wu Ji.
Su Ningxin and Mu Zhiyun had various plans on the way here. They just wanted to put poison in their food and give it to the 'craftsmen' in the house.
They had to avoid the guards when they came in. Naturally, it was difficult for the two of them to discuss anything. When they arrived at the Maiden's room, the three of them quickly finalized a plan.
It was almost midnight and dinner had been finished long ago. If I wanted them to eat, I could only send them some midnight snacks.
Ordinary craftsmen naturally don't have midnight snacks at their master's house, so they have to find an excuse to bring them food.
I saw the dancing girl Jinniang stuffing a purse with money in her sleeves and walking to the big kitchen of the servant's house. At this time, there were many women in the big kitchen. After all, the master would need hot water or some midnight snacks in the evening. The kitchen is inaccessible.
Jin Niang found Aunt Qin from the kitchen with whom she usually had a good relationship. She stuffed her purse into her hand and said, "Auntie, I want you to help me make some food for the craftsmen in the house to eat as a midnight snack. No need." I will pay for the things in the house, and the remaining money will be used as everyone’s hard-earned money for cooking.”
Aunt Qin showed a look of astonishment, shook the purse in her hand and said, "Girl Jin, this money is enough for you to save for half a year. What kind of midnight snack can you give to those rough guys?"
Jin Niang showed a somewhat depressed look, "Jin Niang is already eighteen years old. She can't be a dancing girl for the rest of her life. Even if I am willing to be a human being, I will be kicked out of the house when I am old and old. It would be best if I can redeem myself and leave now. But it’s better than having a slave boy.”
Aunt Qin had a look of surprise on her face, and she understood what Jin Niang meant. She wanted to send some food to the craftsmen in the house to express her feelings. If anyone was willing to redeem her life, she would follow the craftsmen.
Although those craftsmen were living in poverty, Mrs. Qin saw that they were all strong and energetic. Although their lives would be a little harder in the future, they would still be ordinary people, which was better than having children who were slaves after marrying a boy.
Consciously understanding the deep meaning, Aunt Qin showed a look of understanding, "Okay, you can rest assured, but you also know the rules of the kitchen. It is taboo to start a fire now, and it is also taboo to cook and eat." Just some vegetable porridge, don’t think about anything else.”
Jinniang immediately showed her gratitude and said, "Thank you, aunt. It's just vegetable porridge. The craftsmen who came first won't pick anything."
These craftsmen in the Minister of War's Mansion are all elite soldiers under Prince Jing, and their daily food is naturally good. However, when they arrived at the Minister of War's Mansion, everyone only regarded them as ordinary craftsmen, and the Minister of War did not behave too well. Strange and suspicious.
This led to the fact that the food provided to the craftsmen in the big kitchen was only eaten by the lowest servants. For these young and strong soldiers, it was not only unpalatable, but sometimes not full. This was why Jin Niang confirmed that The reason why they will definitely eat the late night snack is that although it is not an exquisite meal, it is still much better than their usual meals.
