Chapter 222 Qi'er Hasn't Yet Come to Her Head
At noon the next day, Mu Ningyuan went directly to Chu Yan's house after leaving court.
He brought good news and bad news.
The good news is that he found out that one of the people the big man mentioned last night that he wanted to have a good relationship with was a disciple of Lu Zhen, the former Minister of War.
The bad news is that both were found dead at home in the early morning. It seems that they were assassinated.
The other party's actions were much faster than they imagined, and they were very cautious.
They started taking action as soon as they discovered that the big man had been missing for one night.
Also, it means that they still have people in the imperial capital, and they may be related to the Land of Tenderness.
But if you check it openly, you won't find anything. It's done perfectly.
When Shen Yindi heard the news, she once again felt that their opponent might be very powerful.
Now, the most critical person is Lu Zhen.
If we can find him, maybe there will be a chance for Chu Yan's case to be overturned.
It’s a pity that there are so many people here and I don’t know where he is.
Si Qi drank a lot of wine last night. Fortunately, she took the hangover medicine Shen Yindi gave her. Her head didn't hurt as much as before.
After she woke up, she came to play with Shen Yindi.
She is a person who can't sit still and wants to have fun every day.
She went to Wenrouxiang to drink wine yesterday, but she didn’t like the atmosphere there and doesn’t want to go there again.
In that case, we have no choice but to find a new place.
"Adi, what do you think we should do now?" Si Qi sat at the table in the main courtyard, supporting his chin with one hand, looking bored.
Chu Yun was sitting nearby, preparing food for the dogs. She had nothing to do during this period, and she wasn't playing chess, calligraphy or painting every day. Sometimes she preferred to stay with the dogs.
After feeding them for a while, the dogs are now very close to her.
The stray dogs they raised are now shiny and fatter.
Mu Ningyuan and Chu Yan were chatting in the study and hadn't left yet.
When I came out of the study, I saw the three of them sitting in the yard talking.
When he arrived, he hadn't seen Si Qi yet, and originally wanted to go see her after finishing his business.
As soon as I approached, I heard Shen Yindi say, "Qi'er, do you want to do something exciting?"
Si Qi's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he immediately asked impatiently: "Adi, tell me quickly, what's exciting? I love excitement the most!"
"Let's disguise ourselves and play a trick on Chu Xing!" Shen Yindi expressed his thoughts.
Chu Yun looked up with surprise in her eyes. She thought Adi was too bold!
"Is that the second prince? Of course!"
"Tell me, how should we play?"
Chu Yan came here with Mu Ningyuan, and after hearing what his princess said, he already felt a headache.
"Adi, stop messing around." Chu Yan sat down.
Shen Yindi pursed her lips.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Yes, although he is reckless and stupid, Concubine Shu is not an easy person to deal with. General Fan is also his uncle. At the very least, he is still a prince. If he knows your identities, it will be a handle for him to use against you." Chu Yan said in a low voice.
"You can go play other things, but don't mess with them."
"I will handle it myself."
After Chu Yan finished speaking, Mu Ningyuan immediately agreed: "Yun Yi is right. We know the royal family much better than you do."
After Shen Yindi listened to what Chu Yan said, she knew that he was serious about this matter.
In this era, I really don't understand as much as he does.
"Okay. Then I'll listen to my prince."
"If you feel bored, you can go and get to know some other rich girls in the imperial capital," Mu Ningyuan suggested.
But Si Qi immediately retorted: "I don't want to meet some rich girl. She's so boring. She can only play the zither, chess, and compose poems all day long. I can't do any of those. We are not the same kind of people!"
Chu Yun looked at Si Qi and felt that she seemed to be the person she was talking about.
"Sister Yun, don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about you. You are different from them. I really treat you as my sister." Si Qi explained immediately.
Chu Yun smiled. She was not a stingy person.
"I know. Don't be nervous, Qi'er."
At this time, Chu Yan said: "I heard that the Queen recently wants to marry the current Minister of War, Lord Lin, and wants Chu Heng to marry Lord Lin's daughter."
Chu Yun heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes, and she immediately blurted out: "But Miss Lin is only sixteen years old!"
"If you really want to get married, this age is fine. It depends on whether Lord Lin agrees."
This Lord Lin took office later, and Chu Yan still didn't know what kind of person he was.
I heard that he was transferred from the local area.
"Sister Yun, do you know Miss Lin?" Shen Yindi looked at Chu Yun.
If their marriage is successful, the Prince's faction on the Queen's side will undoubtedly be stronger.
"I know her, but I'm not familiar with her. She has attended two banquets in the palace. I have the impression that she has a straightforward personality, probably because her father is a military commander."
"It's good that she has a forthright personality. It's a pity to marry someone like Chu Heng."
At this moment, Shen Yindi glanced at Mu Ningyuan inadvertently and saw that his expression was a little subtle.
It’s tricky!
"What's wrong, Lord Mu? Do you also know this Miss Lin?" Shen Yindi asked directly.
Si Qi also looked at Mu Ningyuan with the same question in his eyes.
Facing their inquiring gazes, Lord Mu could only speak frankly, "My mother's health has improved recently, and she is helping me find a marriage partner. She has also set her sights on Lord Lin's daughter."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Si Qi and observed calmly to see how she would react.
Who knew Si Qi would exclaim, "Oh my God, Brother Mu, the prince wants to snatch you away? Stealing someone's love, how despicable!"
Mu Ningyuan lowered his eyes, pulled the corners of his mouth, and revealed a bitter smile. This girl really...seems to not care at all.
"Qi'er, Miss Lin and I don't know each other, so it can't be considered as stealing her love. Besides, she is still young, so I won't consider it. I have already rejected my mother." He explained seriously.
Shen Yindi sat aside and ate melon with a smile.
She poured Chu Yan a cup of scented tea.
Si Qi nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, then what kind of person does Brother Mu like? How old is not considered young?"
You still ask that?
I am very concerned about his lifelong affairs.
"I like girls like Qi'er." Lord Mu was very straightforward. He looked at her with burning eyes, not caring that there were other people watching.
Shen Yindi looked at Si Qi. This confession should be very obvious.
Who knew Si Qi would say with an innocent look: "Oh, it's really hard to find a girl like me."
Lord Mu held his forehead and smiled bitterly. He still hadn't figured it out. What could he do?
If I make things clear now, this little girl will probably run away.
"It doesn't matter. I'll look for it slowly and I'll find it eventually." Lord Mu said seriously.
Shen Yindi held back her laughter. She said nothing and just watched silently.
She won't get involved in this matter.
It would be interesting to let Qi'er figure it out on her own.
"Then I wish Brother Mu success."
Heartbreaking again.
Lord Mu, the Minister of Dali Temple: It’s numb.
At this time, Shen Yindi smiled and said, "Qi'er, how about we go meet Miss Lin?"
