Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 186 Goodbye Safari!

Shen Ninghua quietly bowed her head in silence, with a very indifferent expression on her face.

But this appearance, in the eyes of Baili Qingcang, the anger in his heart slowly gathered: Ninghua is a woman who supports the princess mansion, and even if she wants to do a ritual for her mother, she has to be punished by others. Interrupt, even take advantage of.

With a lot of evidence in front of him, Baili Qingcang had already formed a concept in his mind, that is, Xiao Jingran knew that Shen Ninghua wanted to perform a ritual, and then deliberately used the opportunity of the funeral to interfere with the ritual, and took advantage of the lives of innocent people to murder Shen Ninghua.

If it wasn't for Ninghua's quick response to save the people, then the death and injury would probably exceed a hundred. Once hundreds of people were injured, no matter how much he loved Shen Ninghua, he would have to punish her. His good reputation will also be in vain.

What a deep thought!Thinking about it, the anger in Baili Qingcang's eyes became more and more obvious: "Xiao Jingran, you are a veteran minister in the court, and you did such an unseemly thing, disregarding the common people, and hurt the eminent monk of Guangning Temple. Life, you really let me down."

As soon as these words came out, the officials who helped Xiao Jingran in the court immediately fell silent, and all of them shrank like quails and dared not speak.

Xiao Jingran's heart was icy cold, the emperor would actually punish Shen Ninghua for Shen Ninghua's sake: "Your Majesty, this humble minister is guilty."

"Since you admit your mistake, then Minister of the Ministry of Justice, do you have any opinions on how to punish this matter?"

The Shangshu from the Ministry of Punishment stood up and remained silent for a while, not knowing what to say: "Reporting to the Emperor, this matter is really hard to say, Princess Zhaohua and Master Xiao have their own reasons, this...!"

Baili Qingcang slapped the table violently, making a loud bang, which made Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment tremble.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"I have raised you for so many years, but I don't want you to say that everything is good. If the officials can't provide advice and help me govern the country and the people, then what's the use of raising you!"

"The humble minister is guilty, please forgive me."

Baili Qingcang looked coldly: "Okay, then I will ask you again, how should we deal with this matter?"

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was already covered in cold sweat, and various thoughts quickly turned around in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Reporting to the emperor, I believe that Master Xiao should be mainly responsible for this incident, but after all, there is a reason for the incident, and the consequences are not very serious. According to the law, the officer will be demoted to one level and fined for two years; It is commendable to be able to dispatch manpower to rescue the people in time."

Baili Qingcang looked coldly at the officials kneeling in the hall, and his heart trembled with cold eyes: "As ministers, if you can't benefit the country, I will show grace and allow you to return to your hometown for retirement."

"I know I was wrong."

"Okay, I'll just wait and see." These officials forgot that they were receiving imperial salaries without beating them. "Xiao Jingran disrespected Princess Zhaohua and disregarded the safety of the people. According to the law, he should be demoted and fined, but he wants to protect the Daan Dynasty for so many years. For the sake of demotion, there is no need to be demoted, and only two years of salary will be fined. Princess Zhaohua is calm in times of trouble and rescues the people. One hundred taels, one thousand taels of silver, as a reward."

Shen Ninghua kowtowed and saluted: "Ninghua thank you, Father."

Baili Qingcang nodded, glanced coldly at the surrounding courtiers, and looked at Master Guangshan standing beside him: "Master, why don't you rest in the palace for two days?"

Guangshan smiled and shook his head: "The poor monk is a Buddhist, it's better to go back to the temple, thank you, Your Majesty."

Baili Qingcang nodded and strode away from Chengqian Palace.

The officials in the hall also left quickly, for fear that the dispute between Princess Zhaohua and the Xiao family would involve them.

Baili Qingcang looked forbearing, knelt on the ground for a long time, staggered a little when he got up, but looked at Chu Junyi and Shen Ninghua as if his eyes had been poisoned: "Princess is really a good trick!"

Shen Ninghua smiled coldly: "It's no match for Old General Xiao."

"Oh, princess, the emperor trusts and loves you. This is really a rare blessing. Don't be dissatisfied. When it's time to restrain yourself, restrain yourself to avoid a big fall!"

Shen Ninghua slowly raised her eyes, her black eyes carried a chilling air: "The emperor is the emperor of Da'an country, with his favor alone, I can run amok in Da'an country, even if I stumble, there are people Hurry up and help me up."

Shen Ninghua paused for a moment, and then said: "I would also like to advise Old General Xiao, that one day when the military achievements are exhausted, if you do many injustices, you will be killed yourself. It is better to stop in moderation and protect yourself, so as not to be insecure at the end of the day and harm yourself." I also harmed the whole family."

Xiao Fengjue stepped forward: "Princess Zhaohua, although my father is only Chu Junyi's adoptive father, but in the future when you marry him, you have to respect my father as an elder. Wasn't what you just said too rude?"

Shen Ninghua hooked the corners of her lips: "Isn't it rude to be the commander of the elders to knock on the door of the junior's house with a coffin? Young Master Xiao is really confident if you want to reason with your seniority in front of me. Monarchs and ministers, first have Only a king can be a minister, I am the honor of a princess, even if Old General Xiao is Chu Junyi's biological father, he is also a courtier, I don't care about it because I am magnanimous, if I care about it, your Xiao family will bear it!"

"you……"

"It's getting late, so I won't delay the two of you going back to continue the funeral, but this time, I hope you don't go on the wrong path again, on the path you shouldn't be on!"

After Shen Ninghua finished speaking, she stood there with a cold expression.

Chu Junyi bowed his hands to Xiao Jingran: "Father..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Jingran swung his sleeve suddenly, and raised his hand to slap Chu Junyi in the face.

Xiao Fengjue was startled, and hurried forward to help Chu Junyi block it.

Hearing a slap, Xiao Jingran slapped Xiao Fengjue hard on the face.

"Nie Zhan, you are still helping him!"

Xiao Fengjue's face was numb from the beating, but he gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Jingran: "Father, we should go back, my sister's funeral cannot be delayed like this."

Xiao Jingran cast a gloomy glance at Xiao Fengjue and Chu Junyi, then turned around and strode out with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Fengjue followed Xiao Jingran's footsteps and strode out of Chengqian Hall.

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Monk Guangshan put his palms together and recited a Buddha's name: "Amitabha, good, good."

Shen Ninghua turned her head and saluted Guangshan: "Thank you, master, for your help."

"Today's work is over, and from now on, cause and effect will not be owed. The benefactor has too much evil spirit, so it's better to restrain yourself."

"Ninghua's horoscope is tough, she can bear the cause and effect, and can withstand the evil spirit. Thank you, Master, for your concern."

Guangshan closed his eyes and twirled the beads in his hand: "The almsgiver will do it for himself." After saying this, he turned and left the hall.

Chu Junyi and Shen Ninghua fought side by side: "Ninghua, let's go back too."

"Ah."

Back in the mansion, the front door and the yard have been cleaned up, and the four of Bai Ping came out to greet her: "Miss is back."

"Put some food on the table."

"Yes, ma'am."

Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi sat on both sides, and no one made a sound during the meal.

In the end, it was Chu Junyi who spoke: "Ninghua, how did you know Master Guangshan?"

"I accidentally saved his life, and he owes me a favor. This time, it's just eliminating cause and effect."

"Is that dead monk the one who secretly gave Xiao Huanxi a dream soul?"

"That's right." Shen Ninghua nodded, "He is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and later escaped to Guangning Temple to become a monk. That dream soul is left over from the previous dynasty."

Chu Junyi frowned: "It turned out to be because of this, but how could the nanny next to Xiao Huanxi know that monk?"

Shen Ninghua paused for a while: "This is also the strangest part to me. I always feel that things are unusual, as if there is a black hand behind the scenes, pushing things forward little by little."

Chu Junyi took her into his arms, feeling the satisfaction in his arms and heart at the same time: "If someone is really manipulating behind the scenes, then let's work together to catch this black hand and chop it off!"

Shen Ninghua smiled and hooked her lips: "Okay."

The sky was bright and clear, and Baili Qingcang ordered a safari. With the lessons learned from Bu Jinglan's safari last time, the arrangement was very careful this time. In advance, someone took sulfur to drive away snakes and insects. Both Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi were there Among the accompanying teams.

Before leaving, on a whim, Baili Qingcang left the prince to oversee the country, and took all the other princes out, even the youngest nine princes.

Baili Anning and Shen Ninghua were sitting in the same carriage, with a relaxed and happy expression: "Ninghua, the last hunting trip left people with lingering fears, and this time I must have a good time. Don't worry, my father specially told me to order You arranged and checked the camp well, and there will be absolutely no accidents."

Shen Ninghua leaned on the pillow, and nodded upon hearing the words: "Okay."

It's just that accidents are called accidents because no one can predict them in advance.

Shen Ninghua looked at the birds that kept flying by through the car window, and no one could see the look in her eyes clearly.

Xiao's family members were all present on this safari, so I don't know when Xiao Jingran is going to make a move this time.

"Ninghua? Ninghua, are you okay?"

Shen Ninghua snapped back to her senses: "Just now I was in a daze, I didn't hear you call me, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Baili Anning glanced at the Xiao family in front of the car, "Do you know that the Xiao family is responsible for the safety protection of this safari, do you think something will happen?"

Shen Ninghua laughed: "Didn't you just say that there would be no accidents?"

"Father is still here, I must be overthinking, no matter how courageous the Xiao family is, can they openly murder the princess?"

Shen Ninghua smiled and said nothing, but secretly thought in her heart: The Xiao family really has that guts!
The camp had already been set up, and there were court ladies arranging things in the tent, so Shen Ninghua took Qing Que around.

"Sister Ninghua, long time no see."

As soon as Shen Ninghua got out of the tent, she saw the second prince Baili Jinchuan who was dressed in the prince's residence.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

"Shouldn't you call me Second Emperor Brother?"

Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes to cover up the coldness in her eyes: "Second Brother."

Baili Jinchuan stared closely at Shen Ninghua, his eyes were full of frenzy and determination: "There are inevitable dangers around here, it's better to pay more attention, after all, my sister has offended a lot of people these days!"

"Thank you for the reminder, brother two. Qingque, let's go back."

Seeing the back of Shen Ninghua leaving, Baili Jinchuan sneered, and a servant came over: "Report to Your Highness, everything has been arranged."

Baili Jinchuan sniffed the faint scent that was still in the air, curled his lips and nodded: "Yes."

Chu Junyi leaned against a tree, looked at the back of Baili Jinchuan leaving, a sneer flashed on the corner of his lips: "It's better not to covet things that don't belong to you, or you will be easily chopped off!"
