The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 374 Threatening Shen Yanxi

Dai He's expression changed, and she quickly said, "Miss Jiang, what do you mean by this? I don't understand."

Jiang Suining turned his gaze towards her and just looked at her without saying anything.

Dai He swallowed nervously, "Miss Jiang, you'd better come in quickly, it's the princess..."

"If your princess knew that you betrayed her, how do you think she would feel?" Jiang Suining's tone was firm, and it was obvious that it was not just a guess or a test.

Dai He's face turned pale, and he was obviously flustered, but he still spoke stiffly: "Miss Jiang, the princess, the princess is in this meditation room..."

"How did Miss Jiang know that?" A male voice sounded in the Zen room.

The next moment, Xiao Ling appeared at the door of the Zen room, followed by Bai Xinan.

"I greet the Third Prince and Lord Bai."

Jiang Suining bowed, stood up straight, looked at Xiao Ling, and then spoke with a smile.

"Most of the people who come to this temple to burn incense are women, so the number of east and west meditation rooms is very different, and it is impossible to easily switch them. Judging from Dai He's appearance just now, I think he had thought of a reason from the beginning, but unfortunately this reason is really untenable."

She guessed that there were many pilgrims staying in the women's room, and it was crowded and eye-catching, plus it would be inconvenient for Xiao Ling to be there, so they wanted to trick her into the east room where there were fewer pilgrims.

"Just that?" Xiao Ling asked.

"Not only that, Dai He just mentioned that she came to Xiangji Temple yesterday. But if she went to Ning Mo Zhai from Xiangji Temple, then the direction of the carriage that appeared in the morning was wrong."

Dai He was stunned, and blurted out subconsciously, "No wonder you mentioned the Chu family just now, you were testing me!"

After saying that, she looked at Xiao Ling in panic and quickly knelt down in front of him.

"Please spare my life, Third Prince. I didn't mean to be exposed."

"You don't have to be nervous." Jiang Suining looked at Xiao Ling, "Anyway, I've been tricked here, I think the Third Prince won't bother with you about this."

There was no longer any contempt in Xiao Ling's eyes when he looked at Jiang Suining, but they were very cold.

"Jiang Suining, instead of comforting a maid here, you should think carefully about what you should do now."

"Since it has fallen into the hands of the Third Prince, I will cooperate. But I am curious about how the Third Prince was able to make Dai He work for you. Also, does Jingyue know about this?"

"She is just a slave girl. This prince has plenty of ways to command her. As for Chu Jingyue..." Xiao Ling said coldly with a smile, "On the morning of the day you left the prison, she received the news that Princess Chu had suddenly fallen ill, and she had already left the imperial city in a hurry to rush over."

"Then how did Dai He stay?"

"I pretended to sprain my ankle, and the princess didn't let me follow her." Dai He lowered her head and spoke.

"I see." Jiang Suining nodded, and then spoke to Xiao Ling, "I'm fine now. Do you need me to write a letter to Shen Yanxi in person so that His Highness can threaten him?"

Xiao Ling frowned, "Are you really not afraid? Or... do you have any backup plan?"

Dai He, who was kneeling on the ground, had cold sweat on his forehead. He raised his head carefully and said, "Your Highness the Third Prince, just now Miss Jiang asked her maid Xier to leave first. Could it be that she was going to report the news..."

At that time, she really didn't know that Miss Jiang had already guessed it, and she was only thinking about bringing the person here as soon as possible to complete the Third Prince's task in exchange for her brother's safety, so she didn't care about Xier.

His Royal Highness the Third Prince wouldn't let her little brother go just for this reason, would he?

Jiang Suining glanced at Dai He and said, "This Xiangji Temple is far away from the imperial city. By the time Xier rushed back to report the news, it was too late. What's more, I only hinted at her to leave. As for the reason, she didn't know."

"Your Highness, Jiang Suining is right. We had someone secretly watching us on the way here. There was no one else except the coachman. If we just wanted to rely on the maid and the coachman to go back and report the news, it would be too late." Bai Xinan said in a low voice.

Their people had been keeping an eye on Jiang Suining since she left the city. After the incident at the East City Inn, they had to be on guard, so they wanted to find out whether Jiang Suining was prepared or not. In addition, taking action halfway would be too conspicuous, so they decided to take action in the meditation room of this temple.

Xiao Ling still stared at Jiang Suining, "Since you didn't send someone to report the news, why did you send that servant away?"

"Because I don't believe the Third Prince is a kind person."

"what for?"

"You need me to threaten Shen Yanxi, so I don't have to worry about my safety for the time being. But after all, we have made enemies before, and I am worried that the Third Prince will vent his anger on my maid."

Jiang Suining said it calmly, but to Xiao Ling, it just sounded ridiculous.

"You've already sensed the danger, but you're still worried about the safety of a servant. Jiang Suining, I really don't know whether I should say you're kind or stupid."

Jiang Suining shook his head indifferently, "Your Highness can say whatever you want."

Xiao Ling was disappointed that there was no sign of panic on Jiang Suining's face, nor did he see him kneeling down to beg for mercy.

However, people had already been arranged around the meditation room. Thinking that Jiang Suining would definitely not be able to escape this time, Xiao Ling did not waste any more time.

"Bai Xinan, I'll leave the person to you. Now I'm going to see Shen Yanxi. Remember, if anything goes wrong this time..."

Bai Xinan said quickly: "Don't worry, Your Highness. I guarantee with my life that I will keep the person under guard and there will be no mistakes."

Xiao Ling left the meditation room, and Bai Xinan did not give Jiang Suining a chance to continue speaking. He sprinkled a sleeping pill on her, knocking her unconscious, and then asked the secret guards to quietly take her away from the temple from the back mountain.

As for Dai He, he was only thinking about the safety of his younger brother, so when Xiao Ling left, he hurriedly followed him.

Xier ran all the way from the temple to the foot of the mountain, not daring to delay at all. After seeing the coachman, she immediately asked him to go back to the Jiang family to report the news and call people, while she hid in the woods at the foot of the mountain, hoping to see if she could wait for her young lady.

However, she waited and waited, but did not see her own lady. Instead, she saw the third prince coming down the mountain, and Dai He following him.

Xier felt heavy-hearted. After they left, she immediately returned to the temple. However, she searched everywhere for Jiang Suining but couldn't find him. She asked the monks in the temple, but no one had seen him either.

Without taking a rest, Xier ran down the mountain again and started heading towards the imperial city.

On the way, she met the coachman and Jiang Mushi who had rushed over after hearing the news.

Xier immediately told Jiang Mushi everything that she had seen about the Third Prince and Dai He, and that Jiang Suining was missing.

The latter remembered what Jiang Suining had said in prison before, and thought to himself that something was not right, so he quickly ordered the coachman to return to the imperial city.

And the other side.

In the imperial palace, on the road leading out of the palace, Xiao Ling stopped Shen Yanxi.

"What advice do you have, Third Prince?"

"Sir Shen, I heard that the position of Minister of Justice may not be secure. Regarding the successor, the emperor values ​​your opinion very much." Xiao Ling narrowed his eyes, "Who does Sir Shen want to recommend?"

"Your Highness, I haven't thought about this yet." Shen Yanxi's eyes were calm, but his tone was cold. "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Seeing that Shen Yanxi was about to pass him and leave, Xiao Ling said, "Jiang Suining is in my hands!"

Shen Yanxi suddenly stopped and quickly turned to look at Xiao Ling.

The latter smiled and said, "If Lord Shen doesn't believe me, you can go to the Jiang family and ask. I think the Jiang family is in chaos now."
