Chapter 148: The Queen Mother returns to Beijing
The moment the silver needle pierced his wrist, Shen Ningyuan spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Miss!"
Seeing Shen Ningyuan vomiting blood, Lan Yin immediately became very nervous.
Ji Yunnuo didn't hesitate, grabbed Shen Ningyuan's other hand, and pressed on her wrist again.
At this time, Shen Ningyuan slowly came back to his senses, and his eyes gradually became clear again.
After regaining consciousness, Shen Ningyuan looked at the silver needle on her wrist and looked at Ji Yunnuo in confusion, "Do you know medical skills?"
Ji Yunnuo nodded, "I understand a little bit."
Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but frowned, "Ji Yunnuo, you surprised me. I didn't expect you to know medical skills."
"There are many things that sister-in-law can't imagine. After a long time, sister-in-law will know."
Ji Yunnuo's meaningful tone made Shen Ningyuan's eyes flash with complexity.
Then she gently pulled out the silver needle from her wrist.
He wiped the blood with a handkerchief, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.
He whispered, "Thank you."
"Since it is a cooperative relationship, there is no need to thank me, sister-in-law." Ji Yunnuo responded.
Chen Ningyuan looked at the letter in his hand and looked at Ji Yunnuo in confusion, "The evidence in your hand is enough to put the Ji family to death. Why don't you use it yourself? Why do you use it to make a deal with me?"
Ji Yunnuo did not hide anything and answered very frankly: "Sister-in-law also knows that once these evidences are handed over, the Ji family will definitely be exterminated. I am also one of the nine clans, and it is impossible for me to dig a hole for myself to jump into."
"That's why you came to me. I have the Shen family behind me. Even if the Ji family is really exterminated, I can guarantee my own safety and get rid of you at the same time, right?"
"Isn't this obvious? Why bother asking, sister-in-law?"
"I want to confirm again. Since it's a cooperation, of course I have to find out your thoughts. What if you have other ideas?" Shen Ningyuan asked crisply.
After saying that, Ji Yunnuo's expression suddenly changed, and he stared straight at Shen Ningyuan.
His lips moved slightly, and he asked, "If I have other thoughts about my sister-in-law, will she care?"
When he said this, the depth in Ji Yunnuo's eyes made Shen Ningyuan feel a little uncomfortable, and he subconsciously avoided his gaze.
Lan Yin didn't expect that Ji Yunnuo would be so straightforward. The hidden meaning in his words couldn't be more obvious!
Thinking of this, Lan Yin immediately stepped forward, bent down and poured a glass of wine for Shen Ningyuan, blocking Ji Yunnuo's sight.
"Miss, let me pour you some wine!"
Seeing this scene, Ji Yunnuo couldn't help but laugh.
This little maidservant who protected her master was beyond his expectations.
Ji Yunnuo immediately withdrew his gaze and his eyes returned to calm.
He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I will give you these evidences, but you have to promise me that if the Ji family is exterminated in the future, you will get rid of me."
“If I don’t take you out, your head will be chopped off.” Shen Ningyuan said in a light tone.
Ji Yunnuo continued to ask: "So sister-in-law, I am so well-behaved and obedient, you should be reluctant to see me have my head taken off, right?"
"I still have a use for your head, so I'll keep it for you for now."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Ji Yunnuo smiled even more happily.
Lao Guai was standing aside, and couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw Ji Yunnuo like this.
Ji Yunnuo, who has always had a gloomy temperament, seems to only show such a happy smile in front of Shen Ningyuan.
Thinking of this, Lao Guai couldn't help but look at Shen Ningyuan a few more times.
A calm and deep person like Ji Yunnuo actually fell in love with his sister-in-law.
But what will he do if he fails to get the love he wants in the future?
“I will keep these evidences and will not hand them over for the time being.” Shen Ningyuan took a deep breath, “Now is not the time to destroy the Ji family.”
Hearing this, Ji Yunnuo was a little puzzled, "When these evidences are exposed, the Ji family will be exterminated, won't the eldest brother show up?"
"It's true that he will show up, but the person behind the scenes will push all of this onto the Ji family, making Ji Yunchuan and the Ji family the scapegoats! No matter what, I have to force Ji Yunchuan out first and make the person behind the scenes show up!"
Shen Ningyuan's voice was low and resolute, "If the person behind the scenes is not removed, the Shen family will never have peace!"
"I didn't expect that my sister-in-law did all this for the Shen family." Ji Yunnuo couldn't help but sigh.
"What else?" Shen Ningyuan asked back.
“Nothing.” Ji Yunnuo dodged, avoiding Shen Ningyuan’s gaze.
Shen Ningyuan said no more and just read all the letters in his hand.
After a while, Ji Yunnuo suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, the Queen Mother will return to Beijing in a few days."
"The Queen Mother returns to Beijing?"
Shen Ningyuan was slightly surprised.
Then he suddenly remembered that the Queen Mother would go to the National Temple to practice Buddhism every year.
Calculating the time, it’s time to come back.
"Yes, the Queen Mother is going back to Beijing. Every time at this time, a palace banquet is held, and my sister-in-law should be invited."
"I'm just a widow. Aren't I afraid of bad luck if I go to the palace to see the Queen Mother?" Shen Ningyuan asked sarcastically.
Ji Yunnuo shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know that the late emperor died early, and the Queen Mother raised His Majesty alone. She is very concerned about widows like you, so the Queen Mother will definitely invite you."
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan laughed even more sarcastically, “I didn’t expect that so many people would be staring at me.”
"I offended the Queen last time. I wonder if she will take this opportunity to cause trouble for me."
Ji Yunnuo frowned, "Sister-in-law also offended the queen. When did it happen?"
Chen Ningyuan said in a calm tone: "It was because of the Ji family that they had to go to the palace to complain to the emperor and slander my innocence in front of the queen. I was so angry that I killed someone in the queen's bedroom."
"W-what?" Ji Yunnuo was no longer calm, and looked at Shen Ningyuan in shock, "Sister-in-law killed someone in the Queen's bedroom?"
Shen Ningyuan nodded.
Seeing this, Ji Yunnuo couldn't help but twitching the corners of his mouth.
"No wonder some time ago, there was a sudden news from the palace that the queen had suddenly moved out of her original bedroom. I didn't expect it to be related to my sister-in-law. This matter..."
Ji Yunnuo couldn't help but laugh.
"I thought something happened in the palace, but I didn't expect it to be my sister-in-law!" Ji Yunnuo laughed and said, "I didn't expect it. My sister-in-law should be worried that the queen will take revenge on you. She has always been vindictive."
"She has already taken revenge. She led me to Xie Wanzhou's bedroom." Shen Ningyuan said calmly.
"What?" Ji Yunnuo was shocked again, "The Queen led my sister-in-law to the former prince's bedroom?"
Shen Ningyuan nodded, "Yes."
Ji Yunnuo frowned and looked at Shen Ningyuan worriedly, "Sister-in-law came out intact?"
"Who said it was perfect? I was almost killed by that lunatic Xie Wanzhou. Who will compensate me for my mental deficit?"
Ji Yunnuo: “…”
After hearing Shen Ningyuan’s words, Ji Yunnuo’s mouth twitched.
He said faintly: "Sister-in-law, you are lucky to be able to escape from Xie Wanzhou alive. Don't think about compensation now."
Ji Yunnuo added, "Since Xie Wanzhou became mentally ill, my sister-in-law is the first person who has managed to escape from his hands alive."
