Chapter 12 Has anything strange happened recently?
"Haha, Your Highness, I'm incompetent and untalented. How can I entertain you?"
Jiang Feng's smile was uglier than crying.
"Xue Jizi is still the best. Your Highness, look at this boy. He is as handsome as jade. He is so handsome that he is pleasing to the eyes just standing in the carriage. I, I am a common man..."
There was an undercurrent in Xue Chen's eyes.
He looked at Jiang Feng as if he were a dead person.
Ning Shengsheng rolled her eyes silently in her heart. She looked down on Jiang Feng, this playboy.
He looks much worse than Xue Chen.
"You're smart."
"Xue Chen, follow me."
After watching Xue Chen leave with Ning Shengsheng, Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Ning Jin with a grim expression.
Ning Jin retreated back into the carriage guiltily.
Xue Chen followed Ning Shengsheng into the carriage, prepared for the other party to humiliate him.
Totally unexpected.
The other party ignored him and read the storybook for a while before falling asleep.
The boy's taut nerves loosened.
His crow-feather eyelashes trembled slightly, and his gaze stayed on the sleeping girl's face.
Princess Ning'an had a simple and innocent face when she was sleeping, which was completely different from her arrogance and dominance when she opened her eyes.
She was the one who bullied him.
It was she who pretended to give him the elixir casually.
Why is this so?
The doubt on the boy's face disappeared in an instant, and his eyes were burning with cold murderous intent.
There was no one in the carriage.
What would happen if I killed her now?
Ning Shengsheng closed her eyes tightly and pretended to be calm. She had been sleeping soundly, but was awakened by someone's strong murderous intent.
It’s better to take advantage of the situation.
It was a good opportunity to test how much Xue Chen wanted to kill her.
Um?
Turns out he's awake.
The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes looking playful and inquisitive.
A moment.
He hid his bloodthirsty murderous intent and leaned back lazily.
Ning Shengsheng, who was pretending to be asleep, relaxed.
It's okay.
This guy didn't want her life now.
After a while.
A soft snoring sound was heard in the carriage.
Xue Chen's pale face instantly turned as dark as ink. He admired how big her heart could be.
Until evening.
Finally arrived at Yongle Town.
Xue Chen lowered his brows, quietly jumped off the carriage, and stood behind Ning Shengsheng.
Songmen wet her handkerchief and wiped her hands.
A large group of people came in front of the convoy.
The leading official, with a round head and face, looked very friendly and was greeting Pei Yuan.
"Master Pei, I have cleaned the house and am ready to welcome you all."
"Thank you, County Magistrate Shi." Pei Yuan said politely.
"A few days ago, I dreamed of a golden phoenix visiting my mansion. It turned out to be the arrival of the nobles. Being able to entertain them is a blessing I've earned over several lifetimes. I'm willing to serve them at their beck and call."
Ning Shengsheng saw from a distance that County Magistrate Shi had a flattering smile and his round belly was shaking.
Looks like a corrupt official.
The group of Tianji Pavilion students behind him were laughing and playing.
Where is the experience?
He basically came out of the palace for a trip.
No wonder Daning perished in the later period. How could it not perish with a group of idle successors?
Ning Shengsheng sighed, worried about the future.
Her every move.
Xue Chen saw it all.
County Magistrate Shi came to greet him with a smile on his face. Ning Shengsheng raised his hand but didn't mean to say anything.
He flattered her a few times and then went to find other sons of noble families.
A brief exchange of pleasantries.
Pei Yuan led everyone to the guest rooms in the courtyard and arranged for everyone to live in different courtyards.
There are two teams living in each yard.
What a coincidence.
Ning Shengsheng, Ning Jin and Jiang Feng live in the same courtyard.
The two sides are as hostile as water and fire.
Ning Jin angrily asked to change rooms, but was stopped by Pei Yuan in a gentle voice.
Ning Shengsheng didn't care.
She arranged for Xue Chen to live in the west room.
It's just right to separate Ning Jin and Jiang Feng, so that those cannon fodder won't cause trouble for the big villain.
You won’t even know how you died.
After cleaning up, Pei Yuan called everyone to the meeting room and took out the green scroll.
"One person died and two were injured in the town. The dead civilians' bones disappeared, leaving only their skin."
"Two people were injured. One lost a hand bone, and the other lost a leg bone. Initial suspicion is that this was caused by the bone-eating monster."
"The training begins now. Whoever brings back the murderer first will be the winner."
Everyone dispersed excitedly.
Some people went out together to look for clues.
Xue Chen didn't expect the delicate princess to work, so he went out alone to look for useful clues.
Ning Shengsheng didn't stop her.
She returned to the courtyard and ordered Songgao to call all the little beggars in Yongle Town.
Songgao was puzzled, but didn't dare to ask.
Just follow orders.
In the time it takes to stick up an incense stick, dozens of little beggars were brought back.
Ning Jin and the others also went out.
She smiled and asked Zaoni to bring two boxes of cakes. She asked gently, "Has anything strange happened in town recently?"
"If you can answer it, I will give all these cakes to you."
The child standing in front swallowed.
"I... I know that the owner of the paper-making shop in town died in his shop a few days ago. I heard that only his skin was left, not even a bone. It's really scary..."
Speak timidly.
"It's quite strange. Here, this box of cakes is for you." She handed it over with a smile.
"Thank you, sister! Thank you, sister!"
The child clapped his hands happily.
With someone taking the lead, the remaining little beggars were no longer afraid and started chattering.
"Sister! The son of the grain shop in the north of the city went to Six Finger Mountain and lost both his legs!"
"Also, Uncle Zhang lost his arm while carrying firewood in the mountains!"
Ning Shengsheng looked serious, "Anything else?"
The children looked at each other, rubbed their stomachs with their black little hands, and said aggrievedly: "No more."
"It's okay, there are also cakes for those who didn't answer."
She asked for a few more boxes of sponge cakes to be brought out.
The little beggars happily left with their food boxes, and thanked Ning Shengsheng happily before leaving.
Only a child in blue clothes hesitated and did not leave.
She went over and touched his head, "What's wrong?"
"Sister Noble, I...I have something to tell you in private..."
His eyes widened as he mustered up the courage to say this.
Ning Shengsheng bent down, put her ear close, and said with a smile: "Well, go ahead."
"Last month, I was waiting for discarded food at the restaurant across from the paper-making shop. It was very late that day, and I saw... I saw the county magistrate enter the paper-making shop..."
"And... pushing a coffin."
"There's so much blood dripping out of the coffin!"
County Magistrate?
A flattering smile appeared in Ning Shengsheng's mind.
"Noble sister?"
"Hmm..." She came back to her senses and handed the child another box of cakes, "Thank you for the news."
“It helped me a lot.”
The little beggar smiled shyly. "It's my duty. You saved our lives. My sister has been sick for many days. Thank you for your cakes. She will definitely recover after eating them!"
"Is your sister sick?"
"Well, a few days ago, I was waiting for leftovers at the restaurant door and got kicked by a distinguished guest inside."
"I kept coughing up blood after coming back."
The little boy felt so guilty that he almost cried.
"It's all my fault for having a fever. My sister got hurt because she went out to help me find food."
Ning Shengsheng's nose felt sore, she touched the little boy's head, turned around and said:
"Songgao, go out with him and settle the little guy and his sister in the inn. Ask a doctor to come to see them every day. Remember to buy them some clothes and save some money."
"Hey, I'll go right away!"
Songmen wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and took the little boy out.
No matter what the princess's purpose was, she saved two lives.
She was genuinely happy.
The little boy turned around, looked seriously at the woman in gorgeous clothes standing in the courtyard, and asked:
"Sister Songgao, who is Sister Guiren?"
"That's our Princess Ning'an!"
Princess Ning'an...Princess Ning'an...
He repeated it over and over in his mind, and secretly vowed to repay this kindness in the future.
