Chapter 67: Help to Investigate
Ning Wang snorted and suddenly said, "The eldest princess is deeply loved now. No woman in the country has enough status to compete with her. Isn't Mr. Mu moved?"
His implication was that Jun Xuelan and Jun Yuanxi were both dead. If Jun Jiuning had this intention, he only needed an imperial edict from Emperor Wen, which would force Mu Yun to be her son-in-law.
Mu Yun's eyes flashed slightly, and then he said firmly: "Don't worry, Princess, the princess has long since lost that interest in me."
Ning Wang reached out and patted his right shoulder gently, turned his head slightly and whispered: "What I asked was not the princess' affection for the adults, but wanted to know what Master Mu thinks about the princess now. I already knew about the princess without any intention of Lord Mu."
"I'm just worried that it would be difficult for Lord Mu to go to the Princess to marry him in the future. After all, when he was on the frontier, General Xie's son and Chen's concubine son all had a great chat with the princess, but the princess was already extraordinary and they fell in love with him. It was normal for them to propose marriage to the emperor after returning to the capital."
Is this actually happening?
Mu Yun looked at King Ning's eyes as usual: "Prince, if you have something to talk to me, you can get straight to the point. You didn't have such a curved personality before. If you need help from me if you have something to do, Mu Yun should do his best - it can be regarded as compensating Xue Lan's regret."
King Ning's eyes darkened and he smiled bitterly: "Mr. Mu knows me. You don't have any regrets about Xue Lan. We have let you down. Xue Lan will not have this blessing in his fate."
He really wanted to ask Mu Yun to help test Jun Jiuning to see if she was causing the fire in the assassination of Jun Xuelan.
The method of testing is very simple, just to see if she still has the love for Mu Yun.
"I know it's a bit difficult for Lord Mu, but I can't do anything about it." Ning Wang sighed, "There are many different opinions about Xue Lan's death in the palace, and it is still impossible to verify it. There is no definite result. So I can only check it bit by bit by bit."
Mu Yun nodded: "I am naturally willing."
Ningxiang Palace.
As soon as he heard the news that Jun Jiuning had returned to the palace, Qiuyue was guarding the door with her eyes.
Jun Jiuning has been away for more than a month. She is worried every day, worried that something happened to Jun Jiuning on the front line. Now Jun Jiuning has returned safely and has made military achievements, Qiuyue is even more happy for her.
"Madam Xu, why haven't the princess come back yet? Didn't it mean that she could return to the palace after reporting on her duties in the court?"
Madam Xu patted Qiuyue's hand and smiled and said, "What's the matter anxious about? The princess must be a minister who wants to say hello to His Highness the Princess, and she was stuck for a moment. Anyway, the princess wants to go back to Ningxiang Palace, so Miss Qiuyue can wait with peace of mind."
As soon as he finished speaking, a team of imperial carriages appeared from afar.
Qiu Yue had sharp eyes. When she saw clearly that it was Jun Jiuning who was leading the way, she immediately shouted with joy: "It's the princess!"
She hurriedly brought the palace servants from Ningxiang Palace to welcome him and kowtowed: "I welcome the princess back to the palace, Princess Jin'an!"
Jun Jiuning smiled and walked up to pull Qiuyue and Madam Xu up: "Okay, get up, I know you are interested."
Qiuyue said quickly: "I heard that I was in battle on the frontier and defending the city to kill the enemy. I was worried that I would die. Fortunately, the princess was fine! She also made military achievements. I congratulate the princess."
Jun Jiuning was in a much better mood. He waved his hand and said generously: "You are very informed. It is hard for you to guard Ningxiang Temple for me. You all have a monthly salary of one month! Qiuyue, I will go to the warehouse to get the silver to everyone later."
The people below were suddenly ecstatic and quickly thanked him. It was so noisy that it was very noisy. After Jun Qingli said "tsk", everyone calmed down: "Okay, your master of Ningxiang Palace is still hungry, so why not prepare meals!"
"Qiuyue has been ready for a long time and is hot in the kitchen! Please ask the princess to return to the palace, and I will serve the food immediately!"
The two were surrounded by a group of people and waited for the food and drinks to be arranged. Jun Qingli said, "You all go down. I'll talk to the princess, don't let someone come in and disturb me."
Jun Jiuning looked at him strangely: "Didn't you say that your father will come later?"
Jun Qingli poured her a glass of wine and raised her eyebrows: "I'll talk about what's going on later."
Jun Jiuning blinked, picked it up and took a sip. The wine was slightly hot and the aroma was mellow in the mouth. It was a rare good wine.
After eating a few bites of food casually, Jun Qingli suddenly asked, "What are the gains from the elder sister's trip? For example, I have heard about the young general of the Xie family in the military newspaper."
Jun Jiuning waved his hand: "I just saved him by the way. Then the old general Xie insisted on adding it to the military report, but he couldn't even persuade him."
She looked over in confusion: "Can the princess bravely climb the wall of Min and shoots the enemy to rescue Major General Xie" also attract your attention? The officials in the court are too gossipy!"
When Jun Qingli saw her like this, she knew that she hadn't thought deeper, and couldn't help but frown at her: "Are you stupid? Who did the military newspaper write for? Can't you see the reason why General Xie Xie insisted on writing this sentence? You saved more than Xie Jinyu, right? Why just take him out and write it but not others? Isn't it just to let his son show his face in front of his father? Besides, this matter is related to you, why are you not afraid of your father misunderstandings?"
Jun Jiuning rolled his eyes and immediately figured it out. He couldn't help but curse: "This old general Xie wants to match me and Xie Jinyu in front of his father?! Don't bring such a slutty person!"
A discerning person can tell at a glance that Jun Jiuning doesn't mean that.
Jun Qingli was relieved immediately. As long as Jun Jiuning was not interested, it would be fine. No matter how others spread it, this matter would not be done. He was immediately happy and reached out to Jun Jiuning to fill another cup: "It doesn't matter what he does, as long as you don't have that intention."
Jun Jiuning was sobbed and said, "I'm afraid my father will make random matches. Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. I heard that you convinced King Ning to come to the border, but is there any hidden dangers in the deaths of Jun Xuelan and Jun Yuanxi?"
Jun Qingli was slightly stunned: "You are smart in this regard. Not bad. I suspect that Liang was trying to get rid of our Chu king and ministers. Otherwise, why would it be so coincidental that the father and Uncle Ning broke up, Zhao would invade my border. This is something that has never happened before."
Jun Jiuning suddenly felt energetic and put the wine glass on the table: "What the hell is going on?"
Jun Qingli said one by one that the spies around Jun Yuanxi were actually people of Liang.
Jun Jiuning discovered something was wrong: "According to what you said, why didn't that person burn it immediately after he got the secret letter?"
Jun Qingli was stunned and hesitated: "The secret letter was made into calligraphy and paintings, and it was very inconspicuous when hanging in her palace. There were also some follow-up plans written on it. It must be that the palace maid had not had time to implement it, so it was not burned."
