Chapter 121 Plot to Assassinate
The weather in August is extremely hot; you'll be covered in sweat after just a short time outside.
Princess Jingning wiped the sweat from her forehead; she was drenched in sweat!
She looked down and met the gaze of the two little bundles of joy surrounding her feet; they were both quite clever. She quickly looked away. "What do you want?"
Why did she follow them out like that, as if possessed?
Chiu Chiu sat down close to her feet. [Don't ask me, I followed her out.]
Princess Funing was very dissatisfied with Qiuqiu's attitude of shirking responsibility, but since she couldn't speak, she had to resort to physical actions to express her accusations.
Jingning was terrified and her face turned pale: "Funing, you can't hit people!"
She had just seen her dark-skinned little sister punch Qiuqiu on the head. If anything happened to the Marquis of Wenyang's daughter in the palace, her father would definitely punish them if he investigated.
Princess Fu Ning was small, so her hits didn't hurt much. But Qiu Qiu felt wronged; why was she hit?!
Princess Sister is a good person.
Princess Fu Ning felt a sense of crisis and, ignoring Princess Jing Ning's objections, pushed Qiu Qiu again.
"Ugh! Aww! Hurrah!" Sister, don't you have a sister yourself?!
Chiu Chiu nodded. "I don't really have a sister!"
She has an older sister named Sparrow, but her sister never goes out. She has only seen her twice and doesn't play with her.
In comparison, Princess Jingning can indeed be considered a gentle and beautiful woman.
Even after being pushed, Qiuqiu wasn't angry. Jingning, worried that she would continue to be bullied, picked her up first, saying, "Funing shouldn't bully people."
Fu Ning didn't want to talk and raised her hand for a hug.
With no other option, Princess Jingning had to carry both of them in her arms as they strolled around the Imperial Garden.
Wandering around the palace always comes at a price. Princess Jingning was too exhausted to walk any further. Although she had only taken less than five steps, she was already drenched in sweat, her lips were pale, and she was on the verge of fainting.
My physical condition is too poor; I need to exercise more. Pick me up, let's keep practicing!
Since they're such good friends, I can make her some gym equipment for free! Everyone who's used it raves about it!
Princess Jingning failed to grasp the context of her words and assumed, based on the direction of her finger, that she wanted to go behind the artificial rockery.
What were you doing going there when it was so dirty?
Princess Jingning, like a diligent porter, carried the two little babies behind the artificial rockery. Forgetting all about princess decorum, she plopped down next to Qiuqiu, facing Princess Funing.
She was afraid the two would start fighting again, and was about to speak up to stop them when she heard a noise coming from outside.
She was about to yell at them to leave when suddenly she felt a weight on her leg; Fu Ning had pounced on her leg.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiuqiu struggled to climb onto her and covered her mouth with a hand.
【Shh! 】
[On a dark and stormy night, a murder plot is hatched behind the artificial hill!]
This is no ordinary artificial hill; it's a classic meeting and conspiracy location that appears in every ancient romance novel!
Sure enough, just as Qiuqiu finished gagging Princess Jingning, voices could be heard outside.
From their angle, there was a narrow slit through which they could observe what was happening outside. Three heads were squeezed into the narrow slit, listening intently to the voices outside.
The person with their back to them was a palace maid, dressed in plain clothes, and it was impossible to tell whose palace she was from.
The man facing her was dressed as a eunuch, but anyone with eyes could tell that she wasn't.
A rough voice, a prominent Adam's apple, and he's pretending to be a eunuch—he's obviously not a good person!
Princess Jingning was not a fool with nothing. Instead, she was very vigilant and hugged the two little girls for fear that they would make noise and attract people.
"How are the preparations going?" The man dressed as a eunuch asked the woman in front of him directly.
The young palace maid swung her handkerchief at the man's face, shouting, "Yuan Lang, why are you so fierce? Don't you trust me to do things? This dog emperor will die today!"
The man called Yuanlang wasn't buying her act. He dodged the handkerchief the woman swung at him and sneered, "This mission can only succeed, failure is not an option. Otherwise, you'll be in deep trouble! You know our master has ways to make you wish you were dead!"
Remembering her master's methods of tormenting people, the little palace maid couldn't help but tremble, and she also put away her nonchalant attitude. "Don't worry, the assassins we sent have already been placed among the singing girls at the banquet. They will make their move after a few rounds of drinks."
"The people in the capital have been taken care of. In the end, the murderer will definitely be one of Marquis Wenyang's men."
"Eliminating Marquis Wenyang and implicating the Yun clan will severely weaken the Great Zhou Dynasty. At that time, we..."
"who!"
Yuan Lang sensed a shadow passing by and immediately became alert. He slapped the little palace maid away, drew his long sword from his waist, and was about to walk into the depths of the artificial hill.
"Has he been discovered?"
"Discovered? Dead men tell no tales."
He would never let their plan fail; they would all die today!
As the sharp knife drew ever closer, just when Princess Jingning thought they were doomed, a plump black cat suddenly fell from the sky. Its green, vertical pupils hinted that it was now the tiger's test—Master Cat!
"Meow!"
"Meow~"
The black cat appeared just in time and interrupted Yuan Lang's words. Just when he was about to go and find out what was going on, a fluffy orange kitten popped out from behind the rockery.
"Meow, meow."
"Hahaha! Yuan Lang, you're so scared of a kitten? Tonight's decisive battle will still depend on my plans."
Yuan Lang was mocked by this woman he had always looked down on, and feeling a little embarrassed, he swung his knife twice, scaring the kitten into shrinking back.
"You don't need to worry about that. So much time has passed, and you still haven't won Emperor Jingming's favor. If you were truly capable, would you need me to clean up your mess?"
"You!" the palace maid exclaimed, her voice trembling with emotion. "Who knew that dog of an emperor would be reviewing memorials every day! And you? You're nothing but a useless piece of trash. Why is that freak Fu Ning still alive?"
"Let me tell you, that secret won't allow her to live!"
"I don't need you to teach me!"
"It's all because you're too useless!"
"You are not a good person either!"
"..."
Then their plot turned into an argument. The atmosphere between the two who had previously clashed subtly changed, their actions gradually becoming more intimate, and just as they were about to engage in a suggestive scene, they suddenly parted ways.
Chirping Looking at the Sky: [It feels like the helplessness of a eunuch going to a brothel!]
Princess Jingning collapsed to the ground, crying out, "We must go save Father Emperor!"
With her small arms and legs, she's only good for delivering vegetables. Qiuqiu was afraid she'd get agitated and stopped her from going over.
Uncle Cat! Uncle Cat!
The black cat that had been resting with its eyes closed on the artificial hill slowly opened them. "Meow?" Was it calling me?
Chirp: 【！！！】
So clamped?
Sister Cat, who are you?
