Fingers of crossing

Chapter 92

"Luhe, go back to the tent."

Yan Yilan used to have a low and seductive laugh, but now hearing it in Jiang Ningzui's ears only made her feel uncomfortable, but it's a pity that the maid let all her thoughts be vented, Jiang Ningzui could only ignore Yan Yilan's laughter. Yilan smiled presumptuously, turned her head and called Luhe coldly.

"...Ah, yes!"

Seeing Jiang Ningzui turning around to leave, Lu He didn't dare to disobey Jiang Ningzui at this moment, so she could only respond hastily and quickly followed.

Unexpectedly, just as Jiang Ningzui took a few steps, she suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from her ears, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Zhuichen coming, driven by Yan Yilan, and blocking her in front of her.

"I'm fine." Yan Yilan had restrained her smile at some point, she bent down slightly, her voice was as beautiful as the gentlest warm sun in the mountains, slowly blooming in Jiang Ningzui's heart. "I won't let anything happen to you either. So, don't worry."

In Jiang Ningzui's ears, Yan Yilan's low-browed soft words were more lingering than ever.Jiang Ningzui tilted her head unconsciously, avoiding Yan Yilan's leaning face a little further away, she calmed down the throbbing in her heart, and said coldly: "People like the eldest princess really don't need me Worry."

cough cough.

Choked by Jiang Ningzui's merciless sarcasm, Yan Yilan coughed out the knot in her chest with a light smile, smiling helplessly and dotingly. "You..."

"Sister Huang." Yan Junyao rushed over from behind, looked at Yan Yilan, then at Jiang Ningzui who was under the horse, and said: "The ministers have already waited in the main tent as instructed."

Yan Yilan suppressed her smile and said, "Let them wait for a while."

Saying that, Yan Yilan lowered her head and glanced at Jiang Ningzui, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just turned her head and said to Lu He who was beside her: "There have been some accidents on Weiyi Mountain, and you can send the Crown Princess back to the account safely. without delay."

"Your servant understands." Following Yan Yilan's departure direction and knelt down, Lu He said, then got up and helped Jiang Ningzui, and said: "Your Majesty, let's go."

Jiang Ning absently watched Yan Yilan ride her horse away, she wondered if she was affected by the deadly atmosphere on the mountain where the rain was about to come, the sun was still shining brightly at noon, and the sky changed in a blink of an eye, with dark clouds and dense darkness The gathering above her head made her feel suffocating and dull.

Jiang Ningzui stood outside her tent, watching the family members of the Yang and Yan countries get into the carriage one by one, while Bi Yuan stood aside and ordered the carriages to drive down the mountain one after another in an orderly manner.

And since the hasty meeting just now, Yan Yilan entered the main account with the King of Beiyang and a group of ministers, and it is not known what important event happened.

"Miss."

Jiang Ning turned her head drunk, and saw Qing Fu turning back from Bi Yuan, bowed her head and whispered in her ear: "It is indeed a serious matter." Saying that, Qing Fu looked around and saw that there was no one there. Then he continued: "My servant just inquired about it, and said that it was King Beiyang and his party who had just set off for Weiyi Mountain, and they immediately received a report from the soldiers that Princess Qiyue had disappeared!"

Qi Yue disappeared?

Jiang Ningzui imagined many possibilities, but she never thought of this level. Didn't it mean that Qi Yue entered Yan Yilan's camp?If someone had intentionally kidnapped Qi Yue, then the one who would bear the brunt of suspicion and blame would definitely be Yan Yilan.If it is true, then the purpose of this matter is not like King Beiyang and his party, but rather aimed at Yan Yilan.

"Your maidservant also heard..." Qingfu paused, her face hesitated for a while, and finally she said in a low voice: "The eldest princess and her party found traces of a man-made fire on the mountainside, and saw that the unburned firewood was still there Very new, especially damp, and must have been felled not more than a month ago."

Weiyi Mountain has always been used as a hunting ground for the royal family, and there is only one road to go up and down the mountain. In addition, there are soldiers guarding it all year round. It is impossible for the ordinary people around to not know about this place. Breaking into the royal forbidden area?The people dare not come, and the soldiers are usually active in the camp at the foot of the mountain. Who would go into the forest on the mountainside to light a fire?

I'm afraid that someone really sneaked into Weiyi Mountain secretly, and has been hiding in the mountain, just waiting for the arrival of the royal hunting.As for the purpose of doing this, whether it is for Qi Yue or for something else, it is not known.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ningzui's heart shuddered, could it be... that person is Chi Wei?

Since Yan Yilan acquiesced in taking away Liu Huanxue, then Chi Wei's smooth infiltration into Weiyi Mountain will definitely get Yan Yilan's help and hints.If so, she has no reason to waste her energy waiting on the mountain. Besides, there are wild beasts living in the woods on the mountainside all year round, so she can't afford to take such a risk.Furthermore, if it is really the traces left by her, then how to explain the kidnapping of Qi Yue?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Qingfu called twice tentatively, and seeing Jiang Ning looked back at her from a drunken state, she continued: "Although Your Majesty is a relative of the emperor and a family member, she should go down the mountain, but Your Majesty is the crown prince after all. Concubine, she has a special status, so Sister Biyuan specially sent her servants over to ask the empress, is the empress going to go down the mountain or...?"

Jiang Ningzui frowned lightly, smiled slightly, and said, "There's no need to go down the mountain."

This time, Jiang Ningzui had completely figured it out.

First, he hid the trick from the unsuspecting king of Beiyang, and left Qi Yue in his camp, and then made a good plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so that all the idlers went down the mountain and returned to the palace. If there is nothing wrong, Jiang Ningzui thought In the future, Yan Yilan will probably perform a tricky show, tricking everyone, and exchange Liu Huanxue for Qi Yue in Chi Wei's hand.

Even if everyone in Dayan Imperial Palace knows Chi Wei, it's a pity that Qi Yue doesn't, so in this scene of Yan Yilan and Chi Wei co-starring, even if Qi Yue returns to the camp safe and sound in the future, she probably won't be able to say anything useful clues come.

It's just that I don't know, as shrewd and wise as King Beiyang, when Qi Yue returns safely in the future, after throwing away those worries, he knows that all this is just a play by Yan Yilan playing with the applause, what will he be like at that time? Vice expression.

"But..." Qing Fu was still worried, and said in a low voice anxiously: "Your Majesty, maybe this mountain is not peaceful!"

Ignoring Qingfu's worried words, Jiang Ning smiled calmly, turned around and walked to the tent behind her.

I don't know if there is an assassin Jiang Ningzui, she just wants to see with her own eyes what kind of tricks Yan Yilan can play?

Jiang Ningzui lowered her eyes and smiled, her cold face was like a plum blossom blooming at the beginning of winter, with a unique elegance. "I want to see how many waves can be turned up in this mountain."

At night, Jiang Ningzui had finished her dinner, she opened the curtain to look at the sky outside, roughly estimated the time, Jiang Ningzui asked Qing Fu beside her: "Where is the eldest princess now?"

"Returning to your mother, I heard that the ministers who discussed the state affairs at noon have left, and the eldest princess should stay alone in the big tent."

Jiang Ningzui pondered for a moment, she turned her head to look at the dim and coquettish candlelight on the table, her expression was uncertain, after a while, she got up and said: "I want to go for a walk, you don't have to follow."

"This……"

Now the mountain is not peaceful, so when she heard that Jiang Ningzui was going to go out alone, Qingfu was naturally 1 worried. She quickly followed up a few steps and wanted to follow, but was stopped by Jiang Ningzui's eyes, she could only look worried He watched Jiang Ningzui turn and leave.

Weiyi Mountain is very quiet, and there are bonfires outside each tent for lighting. Jiang Ningzui walked all the way silently, and found that there are many times more soldiers guarding each tent than before, and almost the entire Weiyi Mountain is surrounded by water. Thinking of this, Jiang Ningzui felt a little uneasy when she thought of the hasty side with Chi Wei yesterday.

Accompanied by the continuous sound of cicadas from the quiet mountain, Jiang Ningzui was almost pushed away step by step by the night breeze. She didn't raise her head until she saw the light of the bonfire getting bigger and bigger. It completely filled her entire line of sight.

"Slaves pay homage to the Crown Princess."

Bi Yuan, who was guarding outside the tent, saw Jiang Ningzui's figure first, obviously she had no defense against Jiang Ningzui's appearance, so a surprised expression flashed across her face, she quickly walked up to her, and saluted : "Why did the princess come in person?"

Bi Yuan's question was obvious, and Jiang Ningzui couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. She slowly exhaled the depression in her chest, and asked in a deep voice: "I have something important to talk to the eldest princess alone."

Seeing that Biyuan hesitated a little when she heard the words, Jiang Ningzui didn't care, she bypassed Biyuan and walked directly into the big tent, not wanting Jiang Ningzui's movement, Biyuan followed suit, she quickly stepped back a few steps, Shengsheng stood in front of Jiang Ningzui, and seemed to know that her words and deeds were impolite, she quickly saluted again, and said: "The King of Beiyang is discussing matters with His Highness in the tent, does the Crown Princess need a servant to go and tell me?"

King Beiyang?

Didn't it mean that the ministers who discussed the state affairs all left one after another?That being the case, what important matter is there for the two of them to discuss alone all night?Presumably, what Bi Yuan said about the discussion was nothing more than a tactful excuse.

There seemed to be a faint pain in my heart. It was not too far to walk from my tent to Yan Yilan's big tent, but every step Jiang Ningzui walked over was almost counting the steps, and the heartstrings slowly followed the distance. It was shortened and pulled tighter and tighter. If it wasn't for the unavoidable reason to meet Yan Yilan in person, Jiang Ningzui might not be able to take this first step, but she clearly had the reason in her heart all the time. When he really walked outside Yan Yilan's big tent, he seemed to remember nothing, the only thing he remembered was that he wanted to see her.

It doesn't matter how perfect the reason is to pile up the decorations, but in the end it's just wanting to meet her.But now it seems that he is mediocre.

"No need."

Thinking about it, Jiang Ningzui lowered her eyes coldly, she turned around, gently gathered her wide Liuyun sleeves, and turned to leave.

Seeing Jiang Ningzui leaving, Biyuan opened her mouth to keep Jiang Ningzui, but she couldn't make a sound. She silently watched Jiang Ningzui's figure go away, but she couldn't help looking back at Jing Jing Big tent, unconsciously sighed.

I don't know if this is a good thing, but if the Crown Princess leaves tonight, there will be no room for change between her and His Highness.

Walking out of the big tent, Jiang Ningzui stood in a bright place, and the bonfire illuminated her whole body as if it was burning brightly. When she was absent-minded, she saw a person walking slowly in front of her. Jiang Ningzui was similarly silent.

"Ning'er?"

Yan Lingge had obviously spotted Jiang Ningzui's figure at this time, she stopped in her tracks, and the last bit of melancholy on her face disappeared instantly with a smile, and a pair of eyes as soft as water looked at her quietly , gradually laughed.
