Chapter 319 Visitors Are Guests

On this day, the cold wind blew through the streets.

Qiulan was walking on the way back to Xie's Mansion carrying two bags of new bird's nests.

It was freezing cold and there were few people on the street.

Qiulan walked through a secluded alley in order to find a shortcut.

Her steps were hurried, and she always felt like someone was following her.

However, I turned around several times and saw nothing.

Qiulan looked back, doubtful in her heart.

Sudden!

As if falling from the sky, several tall guards with resolute faces appeared.

He grabbed Qiulan's arm with one stroke.

She was so frightened that she turned pale and screamed: "Who are you? What do you want to do with me?"

The leading guard said coldly: "Master wants to see you, come with us."

Before Qiulan could struggle, a rag was stuffed into her mouth.

The bird's nest fell to the ground and Qiulan was forcibly taken away.

The guards threw her into the carriage.

After a while, when the carriage stopped and Qiulan was pulled out by them, she looked up and saw a majestic door in front of her.

The two stone lions glared angrily, and the red-painted door had bright rivets.

Qiulan was shocked. She looked up and saw the plaque hanging on it: Princess's Mansion.

After entering the mansion, I saw elegant and simple pavilions.

Only then did Qiulan realize that the person who arrested her was actually the palace guard of Princess Funing!

After a while, Qiulan was thrown into the main hall by the guard.

"Ouch!" She fell to the ground and groaned in pain.

A childish chuckle came from above.

Qiulan looked over and saw Shen Ningning sitting on the chair, dangling her little feet.

"Take the rag out of her mouth." The little guy ordered.

Wanchun, who was standing next to her, stepped forward and took away the cloth from Qiulan's mouth.

Qiulan immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Princess, I don't know anything. I only said those words to Wanchun according to the second lady's instructions!"

Shen Ningning's eyes widened and she smiled in surprise.

"You are so smart, you guessed the reason why I came to you."

Wan Chun snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of? Do you know that what you did is a bad thing and you feel guilty?"

She pushed Qiulan: "Whatever our princess asks, just say it, otherwise, I want you to look good!"

Qiulan had long been frightened by Shen Ningning's posture.

It is said that Princess Funing is easy to get along with. When she was first canonized, the emperor gave her more than a hundred palace servants to serve her.

However, Shen Ningning never really lived in the princess' mansion.

Her thirty palace guards rarely showed up.

But just now Qiulan saw the skills of some of the guards, and she suddenly became frightened.

After all, the princess is the princess, and she is personally appointed by the emperor. It would be much easier to kill her!

Qiulan hurriedly expressed her difficulties: "My lord, please forgive me! Whatever you ask, I will answer it honestly."

"This slave has just been transferred to serve the second lady. It hasn't been long. Everything is under the instructions of the second lady. I will never dare to offend you."

Shen Ningning's long eyelashes blinked, and her big round eyes shone like a pair of black gems.

Her little face was as white and cute as porcelain, and she said, "Well, in that case, tell me, did the second lady really suffer from some kind of cold syndrome a while ago?"

Qiulan shrank and nodded.

"The Second Madam is not allowed to talk about this disease..." She was a little hesitant and afraid.

Wan Chun stepped forward and grabbed her hard: "Who do you think the second lady is? How dare you not say anything when the princess asks her?"

Qiulan screamed in pain.

"Say, slave, tell me right now, before, the second lady secretly met the goddess in the city, and the goddess gave her a medicine."

"Since then, the second lady seems to be suffering from cold syndrome. She feels cold from time to time and has to drink boiling hot water to relieve it. Her throat is almost burnt."

Shen Ningning wrinkled her eyebrows: "Really? How did it get better after that?"

Qiulan hurriedly said: "The second lady couldn't bear the pain, so she went to the goddess again, and the goddess gave her an antidote."

At first, Qiulan also felt that the goddess was lying.

But unexpectedly, Mrs. Xie was completely cured after taking the antidote given by the goddess. Even her throat was fine.

Qiulan looked uneasy and looked at Shen Ningning: "The second lady asked this slave to deliberately reveal this news to Wan Chun."

"She said she would definitely tell you in late spring. I think she...she knew that the princess was worried about His Highness the Crown Prince's illness, so she came up with a plan."

Wan Chun sighed: "Why don't you just tell me what you are planning?"

"I asked you to tell me in a roundabout way. Don't you just want to make the princess go to see the goddess? In this way, the master will misunderstand our princess."

Qiulan lowered her head, obviously thinking the same thing in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it.

Shen Ningning remained silent and seemed to be thinking.

Her big eyes were full of luster and clarity.

It seems to have the power to penetrate people's hearts.

In fact, she had already decided to see what kind of medicine the goddess was selling in her gourd.

The little guy didn't believe her medicine was really effective.

But I'm worried about what's wrong with it.

I am afraid that he is someone with bad intentions and his goal is to go towards the prince.

And if the emperor's uncle becomes ill and seeks medical treatment, these gangsters will seize his psychological weakness.

After Shen Ningning thought about it clearly, Nuo Nuo said: "Qiulan, when you go back, you will tell the second lady."

"You heard that I am privately inquiring about the location of the goddess, and have decided to visit the goddess in the future."

Qiulan raised her head and looked surprised: "Princess Princess, do you really want to go?"

Shen Ningning swayed her little feet, and the white tassels on her boots shone brightly.

"Go, of course you have to go. Not only do you have to tell the second wife, you can't tell her that I have seen you in advance, understand?"

Qiulan nodded in a daze.

What is Princess Funing going to do?

Knowing that it is a trap, if she goes, the second wife Xie will complain to Xie Suzhi, why do she still want to go?

The day after tomorrow.

Chen Ye drove the carriage and stopped outside an alley.

A tender white hand lifted the curtain, and Shen Ningning, wearing a small coat of lotus color, jumped out of the car.

"Hey." As she landed, the longevity lock bell on her neck rang crisply.

The cold disaster was headed, and the surroundings were gloomy and dead white.

Only the bright green on her body was particularly eye-catching, like the only life in the world.

Chen Ye went forward and knocked on the door, and a cautious question came from inside: "Who is coming?"

Chen Ye answered the secret code: "The visitor is a guest."

At this time, the small door creaked open.

A person who looked like a maid came out stealthily and looked around for a moment.

Chen Ye said: "Our young lady came to ask for medicine from the gods, and sent someone to say hello."

The maid nodded: "Please come in."

Chen Ye accompanied Shen Ningning into the courtyard.

As soon as the door closed, Xie Mingan rode over.

He happened to see Shen Ningning stepping in with her small feet, and the tender green of lotus root disappeared behind the door.

Xie Mingan pulled the reins tightly, and his cold brows frowned.

The servant behind him followed and was surprised: "Second Young Master, it seems that what the second lady said is true. The princess really mixed with these people!"

Xie Suzhi was not in the mansion today.

Second Madam Xie found him and asked him to take care of Shen Ningning.

She said that she went to see the witch secretly, and she was afraid that she would do something bad.

Originally, Xie Mingan didn't believe it.

After all, in his eyes, Shen Ningning was a smart child with her own judgment.

But I didn't expect to see her enter the witch's yard with my own eyes.

Xie Mingan turned over and got off the horse, his face cold and hard: "Go in and see what she wants to do."
