“My Lord, so just let them leave?” Looking at two people out, the man in black by An Wuyi’s side asked.

An Wuyi’s eyes were bleak, without a little emotion.

“Wait and see.”

The black man did not really understand what An Wuyi said and looking at him confusedly. An Wuyi said, “Nangong Ning’s information is not consistent with what we have. Go and check. But we do not need to participate in things.

On the other side, Nangong Ning and Su Yuan walked in Zhuyi Lane.

Su Yuan could not help asking, “ You gave a detoxification to An Wuyu, but only asked for his stronghold to escape for a night.Isn’t it really worth it?”

“Who said just for one night?” Nangong ning stirred her eyebrow and asked, which looked very tricky.

Su yuan was puzzled, but he just looked at Nangong Ning.

Nangong Ning hooked her lips and said with a smile, “ I told An Wuyi that I just borrowed his place to avoid for one night. But the people in the capital city are not fools. Even if An Wuyi tried to distance himself, who do you think will believe him?”

Su Yuan understood a little.

“Are you still dragging An down with you?”

“Why did I really detoxify him for nothing?” Nangong Ning asked.

Su Yuan’s face turned black.

In the final analysis, Nangong Ning framed An Wuyi.

As long as someone knew that they two stayed in the stronghold for a night, in the eyes of others, An Wuyi was trying to protect them. It was probably impossible to explain the relationship with them unless all the members of the killer building jumped into Yellow River and clear themselves up.

But there was a saying, “ even Jumping into the Yellow River, one can not clear up.”

So, the killer building really could only call themselves unlucky.

Su Yuan suddenly felt a tingle on his back.

Looking at the eyes of Nangong Ning, there was a little defensive.

Nangong Ning looked at Su Yuan with a face of innocence and said, “I really have no other choice; otherwise, can you protect me?”

Su Yuan folded his arms and turned away from her.

Nangong Ning sighed helplessly, she was really helpless.

Even now some of the attention was diverted to the killer building, but she still felt unsafe.

Thinking of the lost black iron, she decided to meet Wen Renyao.

When she left the Nangong palace yesterday, the iron was still with her. If it was really lost, it could only be left in the Shennong Hall or on the way she was pursued.

She prayed that it would not be the second case.

Inexplicably Nangong Ning felt a bit fidgety

When two people got out of Zhuyi Lane, Nangong Ning felt a bit tangled again.

Now she was in a lot of trouble. She would be caught if she went to Shennong Hall like this.

She thought for a while and said to Su Yuan, “Why don’t we find a place outside and make an appointment to Wen Renyao?

Su Yuan didn’t mind.

Finally, Nangong Ning and Su Yuan went to a clothing shop.

Nangong Ning bought two sets of men’s clothing, one for Su Yuan and one for her own.

Though her body shape and her too delicate face face would have made it easy to be seen through the disguise of a man, it was better than nothing.

Nangong Ning inquired about the news in the clothing shop and decided to go to the capital’s largest restaurant “The moon river building” to find medicine.

The most dangerous places were also the safest.

This was true anytime and anywhere.

Nangong Ning was dressed in men’s clothing and also bought a folding fan, spreading to be used to cover her face.

She calmly went to the Moon River Building.

The Moon River Building had three floors, including lobby, private room and private seat. It was really a fancy restaurant.

The cooks here were said to be from the palace, and even the lowest wine was brewed more than five years ago. In addition, the decorations were gorgeous and not tacky at all. All the rooms were hung with art pieces of famous people.

Although the price here was very expensive, for a variety of reasons, many guests still came here like an endless stream.

At this time point, there were not many people in the restaurant. And when Nangong Ning went in, she was deliberately folding fans to block her face so she did not attract too much attention. What’s more, she booked a private room for convenience.

Prices for private rooms started at least one hundred taels of silver and these were not the case of any wine. If they counted the prices of the dishes into the total, a meal cost at least one thousand taels of silver.

Secretly Ning smacked her tongue and calculated her money in her pocket. Then Ning was introduced to the private room on the second floor.

Into the room, Nangong Ning ordered some food very seriously. Because it was too little money, so Ning dared not too casually order whatever she wanted.

Soon her order was ready , but Su Yuan and Wen Renyao had not come. Nangong Ning was so bored in the room to look around.

The one she wanted was a very ordinary one with pictures and calligraphy on the wall, and it looked elegant,

At this time, she was idle and stood beside the wall, looking at the painting to kill the time.

“Is Nangong Ning dead?”

Suddenly, a malicious female voice spread into her ears amd that made her stunned. She quickly ran to the door as long as she reacted.

But as she passed and opened the door, she only found a shadow which was entering the adjoining room.

She reacted quickly to the situation and hurriedly ran to the left side of the room and put her ear up against the wall.

The sound insulation of the room was good. But she pressed her ear against the wall and listened hard. Ning could hear her, plus she was loud.

“ My noble side concubine, we did not find Nangong Ning!” A restless man’s voice said that.

“You are such a loser” The vicious female voice passed over.

Nangong Ning pinched her eyebrows and recognized that voice just now. The female voice was Nangong Qingyao. As the saying went by, “You can never avoid your enemy.” She ran to The Moon River Buiding and she never expected Nangong Qingyao to come too.

However, not waiting for Ning to get calm, she heard the voice of Nangong Qingyao passing over again.

“My… my Lord! Why are you here?”

Hearing the heavy footsteps in the next room, Ning felt speechless.

It can’t be Jun Zixuan?

“Did your Nangong family send a killer after Nangong Ning last night?” Sure enough, the cold heavy voice of Jun Zixuan came over.

Nangong Ning squeezed her lips.

It’s all for her.

Next the door, Nangong Qingyao carefully glanced at Jun Zixuan.

The reason why she sent somebody to kill Ning was that she and Nangong Luo wanted to fight for the last shot. Because she lost the Nangong, and she had also lost the ability to charm Jun Ziyuan.

But she failed. Her people did not find Nangong Ning.

“Yes…my lord. Nangong Ning unexpectedly lost all our Nangong family’s industry. Why could she do this to us? My father wanted to give it to you…”

“Ha ha!” Jun Zixuan’s sneer interrupted Nangong Qiaoyao. Nangong Qingyao’s face went white because she understood Jun Zixuan’s meaning.

Everything was gone. Now she said these, and Jun Zixuan would not appreciate her kindness.

What’s more, Jun Zixuan did his part. But why was there such a result?

“I’m not here today to hear you say this.”

Sure enough, Jun Zixuan had no patience to her and Nangong Qaioyao’s small face got even whiter. When she saw Jun Zixuan sitting down, she quickly knelt down and gently held Jun Zixuan’s legs.

She had a piteous look on her pretty face and said with her soft voice.

“My lord, this time I and my father were cheated by Nangong Ning… My…”She wanted to show her compassion. But her eyes touched Jun Qianye’s cold sight, her throat suddenly got dumb. She did not dare to continue and hurriedly explained,”My lord, last night, our people did not find Nangong Ning.”

Jun Zixuan twisted his eyebrows.

He clenched his right hand and banged it on the table.

The good black – purple wood table surface was unexpectedly cracked.

Everyone knew how angry he was when he put such energy to this table.

Nangong Qingyao closed her eyes slightly and asked carefully, “My lord, did you…”

The east palace also sent someone out last night, and she knew that.

Jun Qianye’s sight got colder, the whole body was full of pressed atmosphere.

Last night, he was so angry that he sent all the elites of the east palace. But he did not expect that there was nothing.

Nangong Ning seemed to disappear into thin air.

“My lord, has she hidden in the regency house?”Nangong Qingyao guessed, but she felt unlikely. She did not believe that the regent will really protect Nangong Ning.

Jun Zixuan also thought of that early, but he and Nangong Qingyao’s idea were the same.

“My unclewould never have taken her in.”

Nangong Ning was doubtful, at this time, Jun Zixuan said again.

“You were invited?”

Nangong Qingyao nodded and lifted her eyes to look at Jun Zixuan, asked, “My lord, you must…”

Jun Qianye nodded. But his face was heavy and said, “who is that people?”

At this time, Nangong Qingyao’s angry voice passed over.

“An Suying, how could it be you?”
