Chapter 452 Everyone except me is your spy
When Jiang Wan Ning returned to Chang Le Palace, thinking that the two bracelets were valuable and the two maids might not dare to accept them, she ordered someone to bring twenty taels of silver.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?" the nanny asked cautiously.
"Where do those two palace maids I saw today work?" Jiang Wan Ning asked.
She knew that the old woman had been following her not far behind, so she must know about the two palace maids she was talking about.
Seeing that the old woman didn't answer for a while, Jiang Wan Ning turned around and asked with a slightly puzzled tone, "Is there a problem?"
The old woman forced a smile. "No, it's just that this old servant didn't see clearly either. I don't know which palace those two maids work for."
"If Your Highness needs anything, just tell this old servant, and this old servant will certainly take care of it for Your Highness."
Jiang Wan Ning frowned slightly. "I want to find them now."
"I don't believe that you didn't see it clearly, after all, if you didn't see it clearly, it would be difficult to explain to the King." Jiang Wan Ning's voice turned cold.
The old woman was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, bowing her head, and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please spare this old servant."
"Speak quickly."
"Those...those two palace maids...were..."
Jiang Wan Ning frowned even more. "If you don't want to say, I'll just ask the King myself."
"Your Majesty, those two palace maids were ordered to be beaten to death by His Majesty, and it seems the execution has already taken place."
"Where are you?" Jiang Wan Ning asked nervously.
She already had a pretty good idea of why he was beaten to death.
"Take me there."
Jiang Wan Ning pulled the old woman up and made her lead the way.
The old nanny had no choice but to jog ahead to lead the way. By the time Jiang Wan Ning saw them, the two palace maids had already begun to be tortured.
If we walk like this, I'm afraid the person will be too late to reach us.
Jiang Wan Ning felt a surge of anxiety. She felt a heat in her dantian and used her light footwork to quickly approach the two guards who were about to carry out the execution. She flipped in the air and leaped up, kicking each of them.
He kicked the person ten meters away, sending him crashing into a pillar in front of the house.
Jiang Wan Ning landed, looked down at her hands, and
Didn't Yan Changfeng say that what he knew was dancing, not martial arts?
She probably hadn't tried it much before, but in the heat of the moment today, it seemed like her muscle memory made her act.
It turns out she was quite skilled.
After everyone around recognized Jiang Wan Ning, they all knelt down and paid their respects.
Jiang Wan Ning then came to her senses and bent down to check the injuries of the two palace maids lying on the bench.
He first checked their breathing, relieved that he had arrived in time, then straightened up and said to the others, "Send the two of them to Chang Le Palace."
"Be careful, or I won't let you off the hook," Jiang Wan Ning threatened deliberately.
The group quickly helped the two young palace maids up and headed towards Chang Le Palace.
Jiang Wan Ning followed behind, and one of them, seeing that Jiang Wan Ning wasn't paying attention, secretly slipped away to inform Yan Chang Feng.
When Yan Changfeng arrived,
Jiang Wan Ning had personally applied the medicine to the two palace maids.
The two palace maids had fallen asleep, and Jiang Wan Ning sat in the courtyard outside, picking some herbs from the garden.
After washing, put it in a jar and crush it, ready to use when changing the dressing later.
When Yan Changfeng came in, Jiang Wanning didn't even look up, continuing with what she was doing.
The others knelt down one after another.
Yan Changfeng opened his mouth, but then hesitated, unsure how to begin. He waved for everyone else in the courtyard to leave before cautiously stepping forward.
She called softly, "Ningning..."
Jiang Wan Ning stopped what she was doing, looked up and stared into Yan Chang Feng's eyes, "Just how many things have you been hiding from me?"
"I didn't lie to you... I..."
"I know martial arts and medicine, but you're telling me I don't? Why is that?"
Jiang Wan Ning's expression was cold, and her eyes held a hint of estrangement and wariness as she looked at Yan Chang Feng. "Also, what did those two do that you want to have them beaten to death?"
"How many people in this entire Chang Le Palace are your spies? No, I should say that everyone except me is your spy."
"That's not how it is, Ningning, listen to me..." Yan Changfeng reached out to grab Jiang Wanning's hands.
Jiang Wan Ning pulled her hand away, took two steps back, and said coldly, "Yan Chang Feng, what exactly are you hiding from me?"
"I didn't, I really didn't... You have to believe me. Haven't you felt how I've treated you these past few days?"
Jiang Wan Ning's expression faltered slightly.
Yan Changfeng was indeed very good to her, but this kindness was like him keeping her in a cage to admire her, as if she were a bird he liked very much.
Completely disregarding his own desire to fly into the sky.
Beneath this rosy facade lies imprisonment; he is imprisoning himself.
"Alright, I have two things to ask of you. Promise me, and we'll consider this matter over."
As soon as Jiang Wan Ning finished speaking, Yan Chang Feng immediately nodded, "Don't mention two, I would agree to a thousand or even more."
Seeing Yan Changfeng's cautious demeanor, Jiang Wanning softened her voice slightly, "No matter what mistakes they've made, they must not be punished again."
"Come and serve me someday."
“Okay.” Yan Changfeng answered without thinking.
"The second thing is that I want to leave the palace."
"What? It won't work?" Jiang Wan Ning saw that Yan Chang Feng hesitated and did not respond to her.
"No, no, I just want to know what you plan to do after leaving the palace?"
"I was just bored and wanted to go out for a walk."
Yan Changfeng thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but could I accompany you when we leave the palace?"
Jiang Wan Ning nodded.
Her intuition told her that it was already difficult enough for Yan Changfeng to let her leave the palace. If he didn't let her go, he would probably only agree on the surface, but in the end, all sorts of things would prevent her from doing so.
She always felt she didn't belong here, and perhaps she could find the answer by going out.
I'll agree for now, and figure out a way to shake off Yan Changfeng once we get out.
"Alright, I'm tired." Jiang Wan Ning turned around. "Your Majesty, please go back to your work."
Yan Changfeng lowered his outstretched hand, looking at Jiang Wan Ning's retreating figure, and muttered to himself in disappointment, "Even with amnesia, you can't forget him?"
She had originally intended to let Pei Yanchuan go.
If it weren't for Jiang Wanning, he even felt that he could have become good friends with Pei Yanchuan.
They all have different yet similar childhood experiences, and they have all gone through countless hardships to get to where they are today.
But they both happened to have their eyes on the same person.
The only thing I lost was that I didn't develop a relationship with Ningning before him.
He could give in to anything, but not to Jiang Wan Ning.
Between him and Pei Yanchuan, it was destined that one would die and the other would live.
"Go and summon the leaders of all nations to come before me." Yan Changfeng turned and left, giving instructions to the guards behind him as he went.
"yes."
"Remember, have them come at night to avoid the spies in the city."
