Zhao Ning had originally hardened her heart to divorce Mo Rongyi. But recently, she had been pestered by Mo Rongyi with all kinds of subservient actions to please him. Her heart was no longer as firm. Moreover, she felt that this was not the right time to divorce him.
She still told Zhao Rao about Mo Rongyi and the two maids.
"… … I was so angry that I became muddle-headed. When Her Ladyship came back to remind me, I found something fishy. After a careful investigation, there was indeed a problem. Until now, we still don't know who is scheming behind the scenes. Wangye and I are investigating. Big Sister, even if you want to leave, you have to investigate this matter thoroughly." Zhao Ning said.
Even so, Mo Rongyi was not firm enough!
Zhao Rao could not rub sand in her eyes. If it was her, she would have left Prince Yi fu long ago. Why would she investigate the truth?
"Could it be that sleeping with other women can be forced? You ah, you are too easy to bully." Zhao Rao glared at her sister. She felt that she did not grow up in the palace. She did not know where her confidence came from. That was why Mo Rongyi could control her so tightly.
Zhao Ning smiled, "Big Sister, I know what I am doing."
"Anyway, I am not in a hurry to leave. I will wait for you to investigate clearly. No matter what, I will bring you back." Zhao Rao said.
"En." Zhao Ning knew that if she did not leave now, Zhao Rao would immediately tie her to the carriage, "Oh yes, when you entered the city yesterday, did you find anything strange?"
Zhao Rao nodded her head, "I wanted to ask you, did something happen in Jingdou City? Yesterday when we entered the city, there were many soldiers standing outside the city gate. Everyone who entered or left the city gate was interrogated. Today, I heard from the servants that there were soldiers outside. "
"Yesterday when Her Ladyship brought me into the palace, she only said that it was not safe outside. But she did not tell me the specifics. Wangye only told me that Marquis Jingning was poisoned and His Majesty was not in the palace." Zhao Ning whispered to Zhao Rao.
Zhao Rao was shocked, "Poisoned? What is going on? "
"Yesterday Wangye had to patrol the palace. He did not tell me clearly. It seems to be related to some sect in Jianghu." Zhao Ning used to live in Hua Village. Although she became a princess, she quickly married into Prince Yi fu. Her world was this Prince Yi fu. At most, she only cared about the matters in Jingdou. as for Jianghu, she had never heard of it.
Zhao Rao, on the other hand, knew about the recent rumors in Jianghu.
There were too many sects in the pugilistic world, and it wasn't just the Jin Nation. However, it seemed that almost all the sects that were in trouble were in the Jin Nation.
"Looks like it has something to do with the Fishy Poison Pill," Zhao Rao said in a low voice.
"What is that?" Zhao Ning asked curiously.
Zhao Rao gently shook her head. "I don't know either. I only heard Marquis Anning mention it once. He went out with Third Brother and should be back soon."
When Zhao Ning heard Zhao Rao mention Marquis Anning, Zhao Ning glanced at her. Although she didn't marry Marquis Anning in the end, she still felt a little uncomfortable thinking about seeing him.
"Are you still going to enter the palace?" Zhao Rao asked with a frown.
Zhao Ning laughed, "Since you're here, why would I enter the palace?"
"That's more like it." Zhao Rao smiled.
"Sister, you haven't been to the capital before, right? How about we go out for a walk?" Zhao Ning suggested with a smile.
Zhao Rao said, "It's fine if we just take a walk. Aren't there guards outside?"
"We'll only be safe if we have the Forbidden Army. Besides, we're just two girls. How can we be in danger? If others want to deal with us, they'll deal with the men first." Zhao Ning laughed.
"Then let's go find Cheng Zheng and the others." Zhao Rao casually said.
Hearing Zhao Rao call Marquis Anning by his name, Zhao Ning was stunned. However, Zhao Rao didn't seem to notice the way she addressed him.
The two sisters changed into plain clothes. Just as they were about to leave, Cheng Zheng returned with the Third Prince.
"Why did you leave so early in the morning?" Zhao Rao looked at Cheng Zheng and unconsciously revealed her girlish side. She felt like she had been abandoned.
"We woke up early. You slept until late in the morning. That's why we didn't wake you up." Cheng Zheng looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of affection. "How about I go out with you again?"
This was Marquis Anning? Zhao Ning looked at this tall and sturdy man. When he got off the carriage, he was cold and stern. She secretly rejoiced in her heart that she had chosen to leave Qi.
However …
Zhao Ning looked at Cheng Zheng, then looked at Zhao Rao. Something didn't seem right.
Zhao Rao held Zhao Ning's hand. "I don't need you to accompany me. I'm going out with Anning today."
"Princess Ning." Cheng Zheng seemed to have just noticed Zhao Ning and bowed.
"Marquis Anning, you don't have to be so polite." Zhao Ning's smile was stiff. "Then I'll bring sister out."
Cheng Zheng frowned. When he wasn't smiling, his entire person seemed to have an oppressive aura. "There are many people outside. I'll go with you."
Zhao Rao felt that he must have gone out to find out what had happened. She also wanted to know what had happened. Naturally, she didn't refuse to go with him.
Zhao Ning, who didn't like Cheng Zheng in the first place, felt a little awkward.
"What did you and third brother do today?" Zhao Rao didn't notice her sister's strange behavior. She just wanted to know what Cheng Zheng had found out.
Cheng Zheng looked at Zhao Ning and whispered to Zhao Rao, "Tang Zhen was poisoned by a poisonous pill. He had been sent to the palace for treatment, but there were assassins in the imperial hospital. The medicine was poisoned and he almost died."
Zhao Ning looked at Cheng Zheng in surprise. She didn't know so much yesterday in the palace. How could he have found out so much in such a short time?
"How could a dignified Marquis be poisoned?" Zhao Rao asked in shock.
"Mo Rongzhan sent Tang Zhen to investigate the extermination of Yan Jia Village." Cheng Zheng ignored Zhao Ning's surprise. Because of her presence, he still had a lot of things to say to Zhao Rao.
Zhao Rao frowned. "Who could be so savage as to dare poison a Marquis?"
To be able to exterminate a few sects in one night, this was no longer savage.
Cheng Zheng didn't want his sweetheart to think too much. "The Emperor has also sent people to investigate. I believe that the truth will come to light soon."
"En." Zhao Rao nodded lightly. She still felt that this matter was too unbelievable. She couldn't imagine who could be so resourceful.
When they reached a more lively street, Zhao Rao gradually put down her doubts and talked to Zhao Ning about other things.
"Why are you always looking at me?" Zhao Rao had been stared at by her sister for a long time. Even when they went shopping, her sister only looked at her. She couldn't help but ask.
"Sister …" Zhao Ning looked at Cheng Zheng outside the door. "Is Marquis Anning really your uncle?"
Zhao Rao paused. "Why do you ask?"
"Why do I feel that he doesn't treat you like he treats his niece?" Zhao Ning wasn't blind or stupid. The way Cheng Zheng looked at Zhao Rao was … the way Mo Rongyi looked at her.
Was that the way an uncle looked at his niece?
