The development of the situation in the next few days was indeed as expected by Wei Changtian and the others. Not only did it turn into a storm throughout Shuzhou at an extremely fast speed, it also naturally alarmed the imperial palace.
It is said that Ning Yongnian was furious when he heard about this incident. He threatened to kill the murderer who tried to kill his fourth brother, and immediately sent a "joint investigation team" composed of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Xuanjing Division to Shuzhou.
Investigate the assassination of the prince.
These people will arrive at Shuzhou City in a few days, but they probably won't be able to find anything even if they arrive.
That day, all the assassins in yellow either died in battle or committed suicide. The last five were chopped down by Wei Changtian, leaving no one alive.
If you want to investigate such a situation, you can only start with the people and forces that have issues with Ning Qingyu.
But how could a prince who could only write poetry have any enemies... at least not on the surface.
Wei Changtian was not engaged in criminal investigation, so naturally he couldn't think of where else to investigate.
In his opinion, the person closest to the truth must be Ning Qingyu himself, and there is a high probability that there is something ulterior and secret behind this.
He originally thought that Ning Qingyu would reveal something to his "savior", but after a few days, there was no movement from the palace.
This is already the case, are you still guarding yourself?
That's fine, I don't want to get involved anyway...
"Crack!"
In the backyard, Wei Changtian was thinking wildly while slashing at the Immortal Locking Stone in front of him with his knife.
It penetrated three and a half inches into the stone, which already exceeded the three-inch record left by the late emperor.
And this is of course because he has practiced the Guichen Sword to the Great Perfection.
"I never expected it..."
Shaking his head and muttering to himself, he sheathed the sword.
Wei Changtian had always thought that the plots about "breaking through the bottleneck at the critical moment of life and death" in novels were all nonsense, but he never expected that it would actually happen to him now.
In fact, he didn't know why he was suddenly able to swing out such a knife at that time. He could only say... Xuan!
But the reasons are actually not important. What is important is that at least the fight was not in vain.
only......
Wei Changtian curled his lips and cursed in his heart.
This Ning Qingyu is also ignorant. He saved the lives of their whole family, and he didn't even show any sign of it?
Although I am not short of money, I can still give away things!
That piece of armor is pretty good. If you can’t afford it, it’s acceptable to give it to your daughter...
"Master!"
Suddenly, Yuan'er hurried over: "Princess Rou'an is here, saying that she came to see you on the order of Prince Shun!"
"Ning Yuke?"
Wei Changtian was stunned.
Good guy, are you really here to see your daughter off??
...
After a stick of incense.
The exquisite and gorgeous carriage drove on the main street. In the sedan, Wei Changtian and Ning Yuke sat opposite each other.
Facts have proved that Ning Yuke did not come here to take the initiative to "fall into the wolf's mouth", but to invite Wei Changtian to the palace, saying that Ning Qingyu had something to discuss with him.
"Mr. Wei, my father has been ill in bed these days. It is really inconvenient to see guests. Please bear with me."
Ning Yuke seemed to feel guilty for "leaving her savior alone for several days", so she quickly apologized as soon as she got in the car.
She actually didn't understand why her father was still in no hurry to see Wei Changtian even though he was in good health. He didn't ask her to invite someone until today.
Ning Qingyu didn't give any explanation, so Ning Yuke had to think of such a reason on her own.
Wei Changtian was naturally aware of this lame rhetoric, but he didn't say much. He just changed the subject and asked:
"Is the injury on your hand getting better?"
"Better."
Ning Yuke nodded slightly, hesitated and asked softly: "Where is the young master? How is your injury?"
"It's no longer serious."
Wei Changtian looked at the veil on Ning Yuke's face, and suddenly thought that Yang Liushi would wear this thing before going out... It was his own suggestion.
It's just that one of them is trying to cover up their beauty, while the other is trying to cover up their ugliness.
"Mr. Gongzi, what are you looking at..."
It seemed that Wei Changtian had been staring at him for a long time. Ning Yuke lowered his head in embarrassment and reminded him softly.
"sorry."
Wei Changtian didn't feel embarrassed. He looked away for a few seconds and then moved his eyes back to Ning Yuke.
"Princess, there is actually one thing that I have always been curious about."
"Young master, it's okay to ask."
"Um......"
Wei Changtian asked directly: "The injury on your palm is so serious, why didn't you feel any pain when I applied the medicine and bandage that day?"
"this......"
Ning Yuke was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment and then said softly: "If I tell the young master, can the young master not tell others?"
"nature."
"Well...it's not that I'm not afraid of pain."
Ning Yuke explained in a low voice: "It's because I haven't known pain since I was a child."
Wei Changtian was a little surprised: "You mean...there is no pain?"
"yes......"
"Then that's a good thing."
Wei Changtian said something subconsciously, but closed his mouth when he saw Ning Yuke's slightly shaking shoulders.
The car suddenly fell into silence, until Ning Yuke calmed down and spoke again:
"Make the young master laugh..."
"I was the one who was abrupt."
Wei Changtian shook his head and roughly guessed why Ning Yuke had such a reaction.
There is no pain, which sounds good at first, but in fact it has many disadvantages.
Pain is the body's way of self-protection and early warning.
If you can't feel pain, not only do you not know you are sick, but to exaggerate, it is not impossible that you will be "scalded to death" by drinking hot water.
It's a good thing that Ning Yuke was born into a wealthy family. If he had been a child of ordinary people, he would have died of various accidents long ago.
Seeing that Wei Changtian seemed to understand, Ning Yuke didn't explain anything more, but just said with a self-deprecating smile:
"I'm not afraid of young master's jokes. In fact, I really want to know what pain is..."
"..."
If some LSPs heard this sentence, they would probably have wild imaginations, but Wei Changtian didn't have that special hobby, so he just nodded.
Ning Yuke gently lowered her eyes and stopped talking, but in fact she still had one sentence left unsaid.
She really wanted to tell Wei Changtian - when she saw Wei Changtian covered in blood that day, her heart seemed a little painful.
...
...
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage slowly drove into the palace.
A servant had been waiting at the door for a long time. As soon as the two got off the car, he came up to Ning Yuke and said a few words, and then led Wei Changtian along the path to the house.
Obviously, it seems that Ning Qingyu is going to say something extremely secret, and even Ning Yuke doesn't know about it.
Wei Changtian was not surprised by this, and soon followed the servant into a dark room.
The darkroom is not big, and there are already seven or eight people waiting in it.
In addition to Ning Qingyu, Wei Changtian also knows everyone else, or has met them all.
They were all the big shots in Shuzhou that Liang Zhen had taken him to visit.
For example, Zhou Mu Shao Ying'an...
These people all had tea cups at hand, but Wei Changtian would not believe that they were drinking tea and chatting here.
So many "big guys" gathered together, and at such a "sensitive" period...
By the way, it seems that I have been involved in some big event...
