"The Northern Desert King received the letter about Xu Qingzhi's accident early this morning. At that time, the Princess Consort was also present, and he was so angry that he couldn't take it. Xiu Wei arranged for someone to go over and say that Zhen Bao Pavilion had a new Heart Nourishing Jade and asked Wang Fei to pick one. The princess consort refused to go and kept asking the Northern Desert King to investigate Xu Qingzhi's matter. The Northern Desert King tried his best to appease her and let her go to the Treasure Pavilion to choose the jade while he investigated Xu Qingzhi himself.”
Bi Chu took a sip of water and said," But there's nothing to investigate. The Northern Desert King will definitely think that it was the Left Minister's doing."”
Jun Qingnuan heard this and nodded." The Northern Desert Princess Consort has a nervous illness. She can't do anything when something big happens. The Northern Desert King would definitely want the Heart Nourishing Jade."”
It was precisely because of this that Jun Qingnuan ordered the people from Zhen Bao Pavilion to escort the Northern Desert Princess Consort away.
" Right now, the Northern Desert King hasn't received the news that the Princess Consort has been sent away safely. Yan City has suddenly been put under martial law, and no one is allowed to move around. The Northern Desert King definitely won't know about the Princess Consort. In just one day, something happened to the Princess Consort and her brother-in-law. In addition to Xuanyuan Yue's actions, the Northern Desert King isn't stupid. He definitely knows that Xuanyuan Yue is going to make a move on him. He must be as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.”
"When I came, the Royal Guards had already gone to the Chrysanthemum Garden where the Northern Desert King was staying.”Bi Chu said.
Jun Qingnuan listened to their conversation but didn't say anything. She leaned against the soft couch and dozed off.
＊
"Your Highness, the outside is suddenly under martial law. The Imperial Guards have surrounded the Chrysanthemum Garden. I don't think the Northern Desert King can escape.”
Bei Chen quickly walked into King Cheng's study room with a serious expression. He was no longer as sloppy as before.
"Your Highness…!" Bei Chen was a little shocked. He thought that Murong Cheng would save him!
"Got it. Where's Miss?" Murong Cheng interrupted him, stood up, and looked at the hourglass on the opposite bookshelf. For some reason, a strange thought flashed across his mind. The sky turned dark so slowly.
"Did Bi Chu and Fu Qing go out before?" Murong Cheng retracted his gaze and fell into deep thought.
Nan Mu was the one who answered. He shook his head." There's no news from the guards.”
He didn't believe that Jun Qingnuan was a person who had a beginning but no end. After she started, she would let the world fall into chaos.
Even if she didn't go out, these two subordinates must have left. It was just that they weren't discovered.
With such powerful martial arts, she could even hide from the guards of King Cheng's residence. The martial law outside was probably useless to them.
He was getting more and more curious about what would happen next!
Murong Cheng stepped out of the door and came under the eaves. His gaze passed through the wind and snow and landed on the distant Qinglan Garden.
At this moment, a black figure rushed over and appeared under the roof. He knelt on one knee before Murong Cheng and cupped his fists." Your Highness, the Northern Desert King has been taken away by the Royal Guards and is temporarily imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice's prison. The Princess Consort is missing!"”
"Captured?" Murong Cheng was a little shocked,[Does Murong Qingnuan have a grudge against the Northern Desert King?] Want to kill his entire family?
Just a moment ago, he thought that she definitely had a backup plan! But…
Ji Shiyi nodded and said worriedly," Yes, I did. I saw it clearly. The Northern Desert King is probably doomed this time."”
Murong Cheng's heart sank and he frowned. What the hell was Jun Qingnuan doing?
"Then, should we save him now?" Bei Chen was a little nervous because the Northern Desert King and Mu Rong Cheng were close friends.
However, to avoid suspicion, the two of them kept their interactions very secret. Even when the Northern Desert King came to Yan City this time, the two of them did not meet in private. However, as Murong Cheng's personal guards, Nan Mu, Beichen, and Ji Shiyi were very clear about this!
Murong Cheng's expression changed, and the aura on his body instantly turned cold. He pondered for a moment and said," Prepare the carriage. I'm going to the palace!"”
He couldn't just watch the Northern Desert King die.
In this situation, the Empress would rather die than live. The Emperor and the Left Minister would definitely be angry. Whoever rushed forward would be in trouble. If they were not careful, they would be treated as accomplices of the Northern Desert King." Besides, the Empress was poisoned partly because of the green plum wine…" Bei Chen could not continue.
Green plum wine…Was this a coincidence or was it inevitable?
He couldn't help but glance in the direction of Qinglan Garden.
Murong Cheng calmed down a little and said," Let's go to Qinglan Garden first.”
Beichen and the others were stunned. Could it really be related to Miss?
＊
Jun Qingnuan, who was lying on the soft couch with her eyes closed, smiled and waved at Bi Chu and Fu Qing. The two of them looked at each other and turned to go to the cubicle.
The black shadow at the door blocked the light and brought a cold wind. Jun Qingnuan coughed and looked at the door," Why is Father here again?"”
Murong Cheng's long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this. He came in and sat down opposite her. His sharp and deep gaze fell deeply into her eyes as he said in a low voice," The Northern Desert King is in the Ministry of Justice's prison. Do you know about this?!"”
He was obviously a little angry. Jun Qingnuan shook her head and met his gaze." I don't know."”
"..." Murong Cheng choked. He didn't expect her to choose to play dumb!
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said," What exactly do you want?! Does the Northern Desert King have a grudge against you?" Murong Cheng didn't know what to say. Although Gu Lanyu was good, if Jun Qingnuan was too restless, this deal wouldn't be worth it!
However, the welcoming banquet had already passed, and everyone knew about it. It was already too late to take back what was done.
The only thing he could do was to watch Jun Qingnuan's every move and not let her cause any more trouble!
Murong Cheng was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He stared at her and retorted," You dare to say that you didn't prepare the green plum wine on purpose that day?!"”
"80% of the people in Yan City like green plum wine. It's the same for ordinary people and the royal family. The only difference is the age…It's my first time in Yan City.”
She had been scheming for three years. How could she let others find her weakness so easily?
Even if he found a flaw, it would definitely not be the kind that could not be explained!
Murong Cheng was at a loss for words. That's right, there was always green plum wine in the residence. Who in Yan City didn't drink green plum wine? Who wouldn't want to try the green plum wine in Yan City?
He originally thought that the snow jelly, which was worth thousands of gold, was the main support for the Snow Region Ice Plum Poison incident. The green plum wine was arranged to accompany the snow jelly.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that Jun Qingnuan had schemed against Su Lanzhi because she had her eyes set on the green plum wine. The snow jelly was the one she had prepared for the green plum wine!
On the contrary, snow jelly was extremely rare, so it was abnormal for such a thing to appear!
What about the Northern Desert King?
Why couldn't he understand this move?
