Two hours ago, at Prince Nanping's residence.
"What are you doing here?"
The person opposite her sat in front of a table with a pot of tea emitting a faint fragrance. The silver charcoal in the corner of the room was still burning at the end of March. It was probably the only one in the capital. The aroma of the tea mixed with the faint Du Heng fragrance in the silver charcoal, making the air warm and cozy. Ning Shu had been waiting outside the prince's residence for half an hour. The morning breeze still carried a trace of coldness, causing her cheeks to feel cold. As soon as she stepped into the room, in less than half a year, her face was steamed into a crimson red.
Ning Shu untied her cloak and did not treat herself as a guest at all. She smiled and walked over to sit across from him, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has arrived in the capital a few days ago. This little girl is here to welcome you."
Just yesterday, Xiahou Qing finally appeared. He openly entered the capital through the Shenwu Gate and entered the palace to meet the Emperor. Yesterday, the entire capital was in an uproar. All the young girls in the city who yearned for love came out. In addition to countless people who came to watch the fun, the entire Xuanwu Street was packed. Thousands of young girls screamed and threw flowers, purses, and fragrant handkerchiefs at the prince's residence like raindrops. They almost drowned the carriage, hoping to catch a glimpse of the legendary prince's true appearance. The news of Xiahou Qing's return spread to every corner of the capital at the fastest speed.
At this time, Xiahou Qing was wearing a silver cloak and fox fur coat. Because Ning Shu suddenly came to visit, he did not tie up his black hair and let it fall to the side of his body. It made him look even more like an immortal.
Of course, his voice was also like an immortal's, cold and distant. "If it's nonsense, you can get lost."
Ning Shu personally held the pot and poured a cup of tea. She handed it to Xiahou Qing and said sincerely, "Then I will not beat around the bush with Your Highness. Your Highness should already know. I am here to beg you."
Xiahou Qing did not take the cup of tea. Obviously, he disdained to respond to her kindness. "Beg me for what?"
Ning Shu did not get angry. She brought the cup of tea back to herself and said slowly, "Last night, Young Master Yun of the Cloud Leaf suddenly fell ill and fainted. The Yun family invited the imperial physician to treat him. Imperial Censor Yun ordered a thorough investigation of the entire residence and found my hairpin and a talisman under the begonia tree in Young Master Yun's courtyard. "
Her calamity was imminent, but he was not the least bit moved. His fingers gently twirled the ivory handle, and his expression was very proud. "What does that have to do with me?"
Ning Shu's eyes unconsciously looked at his hand. She took a closer look and found that the small thing Xiahou Qing had been playing with was not an elephant's tusk, but a human bone. It was the very end of a person's little finger!
Ning Shu suppressed the surprise in her heart. Her fingertips touched the blue porcelain cup in front of her after the rain. Her lips curled into a warm smile. "Because three days ago, in the middle of the night, I secretly left the residence and met Your Highness at the Qi family's ancestral grave. We had a pleasant conversation. At that time, there were only you, me, my maid Forsythia, and this handsome little brother Hui Mo beside you. There was no one else. "
At the side, when Ning Shu suddenly mentioned the word "handsome", Hui Mo could not help but blush. He was angry that this Lady Ning really liked to tease people. However, he was even more confused. He didn't understand what Eldest Young Miss Ning and his Young Master Shizi were talking about. What was the connection between the Yun family finding her hairpin and the chance encounter three days ago?
However, his Young Master seemed to be completely clear.
Ning Shu continued, "I thought that night, someone would use it to attack my weakness and make a big fuss about it. Forsythia is my personal maid. Her words will not be trusted. I hope that Your Highness can provide me with an alibi to block the mouths of those people and avoid this disaster to prove my innocence. "
Originally, the talisman and the jade hairpin could not be used as the irrefutable evidence that she murdered Cloud Leaf. However, since the Emperor of Yue, countless people believed in God. At this moment, the Yun family's anger must be poured on her. Coupled with the sudden death of Young General Song and Third Young Master Qi, countless dirty water will be poured on her. She will definitely be known as a demoness who brings disaster to the country. In order to appease the anger of the people, it was hard to guarantee that the Emperor will not kill her to prevent future troubles. At that time, even her father will be implicated!
He snorted and leaned on the brocade cushion. All of this had nothing to do with him. "This is your business. Why should I help you?"
"Because I can also help you."
"Help me with what?"
"For example, the poison in your body is called 'Plum Blossom Kiss'. It is also the poison that killed the previous Emperor."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hui Mo, who was quietly waiting by the side, took a deep breath and took a step forward. His eyes were full of surprise. "How did you know?" They had kept this secret for eleven years. Except for the Old Prince, there was no fourth person who knew. This Lady Ning, did she really have a great ability?
