Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 378 Reaching Cooperation
The visitor took off the black cloak on his body and handed it to Wen Xing, revealing a slightly sharp and glamorous face.It turned out to be Princess Lu Lu.Jing Ning suppressed his expression, got up and put on some clothes, and stretched out his hand to signal Princess Lu Lu to sit down.

"I don't know what is the purpose of Princess Lu's visit late at night?" Jing Ning calmly raised the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Princess Lu.

A smile appeared on Princess Lu Lu's lips. She raised her hand to brush up her messy hair due to wearing a cloak, and said, "This visit hastily, naturally, I have something important to discuss with the Young Madam."

Jing Ning was puzzled in her heart, but her face remained calm. She pulled the front of her clothes and looked straight at Princess Lu Lu with a pair of clear eyes.

"Concubine Lu might as well just say it straight."

Princess Lu Lu's eyes flickered slightly, and she said in a low tone: "I need my young lady to help me bring down King Lu."

The smile on Jingning's face froze, and his eyes gradually turned cold.Concubine Lu saw that Jingning's face was different, and quickly added: "In return, I will help Young Madam clean up the people who should not appear in the general's residence."

Jing Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly, "For example?"

"Wanxi and Ji Qing. I think the young lady doesn't want General Xiao to have two more concubines for nothing." Princess Lu Lu's eyes were full of certainty, and she was also present at the palace banquet that day, so she naturally expressed Jingning's love for Wanxi. Disgust can be seen clearly.As for Ji Qing, thinking about it, Jing Ning was also unwilling to let her enter the mansion.She is confident that the revenge she proposes will definitely move Jing Ning's heart.

Indeed, Jing Ning had little resistance to the reward proposed by Princess Lu Lu. She was already tired of Wanxi, and she didn't want to be innocent and submissive all day long, but because of the emperor, she couldn't do anything.

But this does not mean that she cannot use other people's hands to get rid of these two thorns in her eyes, and Princess Lu Lu is a suitable candidate. She has a noble status, strategies, and means. , she will not be punished.

But there is no such thing as a free lunch.How easy is it to bring down King Lu?

"The reward offered by Princess Lu is indeed what I want, but why should I do it to deal with King Lu?" Jing Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at Princess Lu Lu, with a little hidden in his peaceful eyes sharp.After all, if there is anything wrong with this matter, I am afraid that the situation of the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion will be much more difficult than it is now.

"Young Madam has the support of the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion behind her. Naturally, there is no need to be afraid of King Lu, but that is not what I value. What I value is the strategy of the Young Madam. It must not be a simple matter for the Young Madam to come to this point. People." Madam Lu smiled kindly, but her eyes were full of calculations.

Jing Ning chuckled, and said in a low tone: "Concubine Lu is polite, but if I accept this matter, how will Concubine Lu drive those two out of the palace, especially Ji Qing, her identity is not simple."

It's not that Jing Ning doesn't believe in Lu Wangfei's methods, Wanxi is naturally easy, but Ji Qing is the eldest daughter of the Minister of War, the niece of Ji Guifei, and the emperor's own princess, such a status is not easy to deal with.

"On the night of the palace banquet, my carriage followed the young lady's carriage. I checked the background of the assassin that night." Lu Wangfei showed a meaningful smile.

Jing Ning's face became serious, Wanxi Ji Qing's matter is minor, but the safety of the General's Mansion is a major concern, the assassin's origin is unknown, and he is a potential threat to the General's Mansion, from Princess Lu's point of view, does the assassin have anything to do with Ji Qing ?
"Concubine Lu, can you tell me more about it?" Jing Ning leaned forward slightly, his gaze a little more eager.

"Young Madam, don't worry. If Young Madam can help me deal with King Lu, then I will deal with the assassin properly. As for those two women, they will definitely not appear in the General's Mansion." Madam Lu avoided Jing Ning's question, She deliberately didn't reveal the assassin's background, after all, it was a bargaining chip for her, and she believed that Jing Ning would definitely not reject her.

Jing Ning took a deep breath, slightly closed his eyes and meditated deeply.

Although it is difficult to deal with King Lu, it is not impossible, but she is really difficult to deal with those two women. Right now, Princess Lu still has the assassin in her hand as a bargaining chip. It seems that this deal will not work.Besides, it didn't do any harm to her.Just a bit more adventurous.

Jing Ning opened his eyes, his watery eyes were extremely clear and bright.

"According to what Princess Lu said, I hope Princess Lu can deal with that assassin properly." Jing Ning raised his teacup to signal to Princess Lu while speaking. Princess Lu showed a smile on her face, and also raised her teacup. They looked at each other with a smile, and took a sip of tea.

Jing Ning was very sleepy after sending off Princess Lu, and fell into a deep sleep in the blink of an eye.

Early the next morning, Ji Qing came to Jingning Courtyard as usual.

Jing Ning looked at Ji Qing who was smiling sweetly in front of him, and his doubts became more and more serious.Since Ji Qing entered the palace, he has been following the rules. Every day he has to come to her courtyard to sit for a while, but he doesn't mention anything related to Xiao Lin, and according to Luo Hua's report, Ji Qing has nothing to do with Ji Guifei. His attitude is also very bad, and he doesn't look like someone who was deliberately placed in the mansion.

Remembering what Princess Lu said last night, Jing Ning decided to test Ji Qing.

"My sister doesn't look very well, but what's wrong?" Ji Qing looked concerned and spoke softly.

"I had a nightmare yesterday. I was assassinated on the night after the palace banquet. Now that I think about it, I still feel a little scared." Jing Ning gently stroked his forehead, observing Ji Qing's expression calmly.

Sure enough, Ji Qing's complexion changed, the smile on her face froze instantly, and a little panic flashed in her eyes. Now Jing Ning was almost sure that the assassin's matter must be related to Ji Qing.

Ji Qing quickly adjusted her expression, she patted her chest lightly, and said in a warm voice: "Fortunately, my sister is safe and sound, that assassin is too bold, can my sister see the appearance of that assassin clearly? Why don't you draw it and hand it over to me?" Let the government deal with it." Ji Qing was very concerned in his words, but his expression was not very natural, especially when he asked about the appearance of the assassin, his eyes obviously flashed a little nervous.

"Then there's no need. It was already late at that time, and I couldn't see clearly. I took a vague look. I have already handed over this matter to others. If the assassin is caught, I will definitely not let him go lightly!"

A sharp flash flashed across Jing Ning's face, and his eyes became even colder. Ji Qing squeezed out a smile to agree, but his eyes were full of worry.Jing Ning knew that the assassin had a close relationship with Ji Qing, but judging by Ji Qing's appearance, she didn't seem to know that someone was assassinating him. If she didn't send the assassin, who would it be?

Jing Ning didn't bother with this any more, and talked to Ji Qing about something else, but Ji Qing was still in a daze, not very focused, Jing Ning knew that it might have disturbed her just now, and she became more and more curious about the identity of the assassin.
