Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 375 Assassination
Wanxi was also frightened by Jingning's eyes, she shrank into the corner and kept silent.

"You may not be right. Why is she your helper instead of replacing you?" Jing Ning's mouth curled up into a mocking smile, and he left the words coldly and leaned on the cushion with his eyes closed. I don't want to say a word to Wanxi anymore.

Wanxi gritted her teeth, Jing Ning's words reminded her that today she was going to the banquet, the emperor did not summon her in private, but he made Ji Qing the emperor and let her stay in the general's residence for a while, anyone with a discerning eye could see Get the meaning of the emperor.Now that Xiao Lin is not in the capital, the emperor can't directly give Ji Qing reward to Xiao Lin, so he had to raise him in the general's mansion first, and when Xiao Lin returns, the emperor can naturally let Ji Qingchang stay in the mansion.

But what about her?If there is Ji Qing, what is the meaning of her existence?Her wealth is inferior to Ji Qing's. She is the youngest daughter of Minister of War, the niece of Concubine Ji, and the emperor's own princess. Could it be that the emperor really wants Ji Qing to replace her?Wanxi was terrified by her own thoughts, and her complexion suddenly turned pale.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Jing Ning knew that he had succeeded in calming down Wanxi, a faint smile appeared on her lips, it felt so good to feel the world is peaceful.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly shook violently, Jing Ning quickly grabbed the handrail beside her, and Wanxi rushed forward, Jing Ning quickly reached out and grabbed her belt, Wanxi didn't Jump directly outside the carriage.

Jing Ning sensitively sensed that something was wrong, she saw Wanxi's mouth open, and quickly covered her mouth to silence her screams.

There was a sound of swords clashing outside the carriage, Jing Ning pursed her lips, and made a silent gesture to Wanxi, watching Wanxi nod in panic, she withdrew her hand.She carefully opened a slit, the coachman had fallen into a coma, and Luohua outside the carriage was wrestling with a masked man.

As it was getting late, Jing Ning couldn't see clearly, she could only tell from the man's figure that it was a burly man, but she was not worried, she had confidence in Luo Hua.

"Yes, there are assassins?" Wanxi shrank in the corner, her voice trembling slightly because of fear.

"I'm afraid the emperor thinks you are worthless, so he sent someone to clean you up."

Seeing Wanxi's panicked appearance, Jing Ning couldn't help intimidating her, her voice was low and her face was serious, she didn't seem to be telling lies at all.

Wanxi trembled even more, and when she rolled her eyes, Jing Ning was so frightened that she fainted.Jing Ning twitched the corners of his lips, a bit of disdain flashed in his eyes, dare to enter the general's mansion with this little guts?
After half a cup of tea, there were a few muffled hums outside the carriage, followed by a burst of wind.Jing Ning breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the masked man was repelled by Luo Hua.

"Miss, are you alright?" Luo Hua opened the door curtain, looked Jing Ning up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Jing Ning was not injured.

"It's okay, let's go back to the mansion first." Jing Ning waved his hand, his calm appearance was not at all like someone who had just been assassinated.

After a while, several people returned to the General's Mansion, and Jing Ning returned to his courtyard after calling the servants to settle the coachman and Wanxi.

"Do you think that man just now is an assassin sent by the emperor?" Jing Ning frowned slightly, not quite sure about his guess.

If the emperor wants to get rid of himself, he should do it in an extremely secretive manner, otherwise he will offend the general and prime minister's residence for no reason, and now that Xiao Lin is leading troops outside, if the news of his death spreads, the emperor may not be able to bear the consequences. So it should not be an assassin sent by the emperor, but others have no reason to do such a thing.

"Probably not. That man's martial arts are not weak, but he is not very formal. Compared with a well-trained palace assassin, his swordsmanship is more like a knight in the Jianghu. It is not very methodical, but it is very practical and flexible enough. .” Luo Hua analyzed.

Jing Ning nodded, but she was even more confused in her heart, she didn't think she had offended anyone in Jianghu, who instigated this?
"Forget it, the guards in the mansion need to be strengthened recently, especially the parents, and Xiao Yuan must pay special attention when they go out, and they must not be injured." Jing Ning said in a deep voice.She always felt that tonight's assassination was just the beginning, now that Xiao Lin was not in the mansion, she could only protect the general's mansion for her husband and the relatives in the mansion.

Luo Hua responded and jumped out of the window.Jing Ning looked a bit tired, what happened today made her physically and mentally exhausted.She couldn't help but miss her husband who was far away at the border, if only he was by her side, she wouldn't have to worry about these things, Xiao Lin would definitely take care of them.

"Xiao Lin, you must come back safely." Jing Ning sighed quietly, and then called a maid to wait for her to take a bath.

Ji Qing moved to the General's Mansion early the next morning, and Jing Ning arranged a courtyard in the southeast for her.It's next to the garden, and it's exquisite. The most important thing is that it's far away from Jing Ning's yard. Jing Ning also arranged that yard for her out of sight and out of mind.

"Sister, Qing'er has been bothering you for a while, I hope you don't mind." Ji Qing's charming face showed a pleasing smile.

With her obedient attitude, Jing Ning naturally didn't want to embarrass her too much, and Jing Ning naturally didn't want to embarrass her too much, besides, just looking at her innocent and pure eyes, Jing Ning couldn't say any harsh words .

But Wanxi who was on the side said with a sharp voice: "Qing'er, you must abide by the rules of the mansion during your stay in the mansion, and don't do anything to embarrass the general's mansion."

Wanxi looked superior, as if Ji Qing was a concubine who had just entered the mansion. Although both she and Jing Ning had acquiesced that Ji Qing was this identity, they didn't say it publicly after all.

Hearing Wanxi lecture Ji Qing like this, Jing Ning's eyes flashed a little bored, not because of Ji Qingming's grievances, but simply because she couldn't get used to Wanxi.

"I'm afraid there are many places you are not used to when you are new here. If there is anything missing, please tell me." Jing Ning showed a faint smile to Ji Qing, his attitude was neither warm nor cold, as if Ji Qing was just a guest.

"Qing'er, thank you, sister." Ji Qing smiled brightly, at first glance he was somewhat similar to Xiao Yuan, both of them looked like little girls who hadn't experienced much in the world.

Jing Ning sighed in her heart, if Ji Qing could keep her own place, she would naturally not cause trouble, but if she had any unruly thoughts, then don't blame her for being rude.

"You have a rest, I'll go first." Jing Ning nodded slightly to Ji Qing, then turned and left her courtyard.

Wanxi did not leave together, but took advantage of Jingning's departure, and said to Ji Qing: "Although your status is higher than mine, I entered the mansion earlier than you, and you still want to call me sister." .”
