Chapter 517 Lin Jie's Investigation Results
Seeing Jiang Mushi's tense expression, Jiang Suining couldn't help but laugh.
"You and A-Yao seem to be getting closer?"
Jiang Mushi was stunned by the teasing tone, and then he said with an unnatural expression: "Sister, we just happened to meet, don't change the subject, did the Fifth Princess make things difficult for you?"
"No, I just said something. Although his attitude was not good, it was not to the extent of making things difficult."
Jiang Mushi looked at Jiang Suining carefully, and was slightly relieved when he saw no signs of lying or concealment on her face, but then he said.
"Even if she wasn't deliberately making things difficult for me, she is a princess after all, and her bad attitude is already troublesome enough. Sister, you should be more careful. Moreover, I heard that the Fourth Prince wanted to protect the Third Prince in this case. Now that the Third Prince is dead, the Fourth Prince might also hold a grudge against you."
Thinking about it this way, the palace is really full of dangers. If it weren't for the fact that my sister would never give up the matter of being a female official, I really want to advise her to stay away from those people.
Jiang Suining comforted him, "I haven't seen the Fourth Prince yet, so don't worry too much. Even if he is really dissatisfied, he still needs to be considered. After all, he was reprimanded for protecting the Third Prince this time. Even if he doesn't care, the Imperial Concubine will surely persuade him to restrain himself."
Xiao Yi is not a confused person. Xiao Ling is already dead. If he really takes revenge on himself, it will not change anything. He may even be known as someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong and uses his status to bully others.
In fact, compared to this, she was more worried about what would happen next.
Xiao Ling is dead, the queen has no legitimate son, and the other princes are not outstanding. In addition, the imperial concubine is quite favored, so Xiao Yi may have a chance to compete for the position of crown prince.
When she died, Xiao Ling was safe and sound, and the position of crown prince was not decided. She did not know who inherited the throne in the previous life.
But in this life, if Xiao Yi...
Jiang Suining frowned, feeling a little worried.
Although Jiang Mushi was worried, he knew he couldn't stop his elder sister, so the next day, Jiang Suining still went to the palace to be on duty.
And this time, on the palace road, she happened to meet Xiao Yi.
"Your humble servant greets the Fourth Prince." Jiang Suining bowed and saluted.
Today, Xiao Yi was not wearing red clothes, but a plain robe. He looked a little thinner, and there was no smile and playfulness between his eyebrows as usual. His body temperature was much colder.
He looked at Jiang Suining and sneered.
"I haven't had time to congratulate Lady Jiang on her promotion to the sixth rank. Congratulations."
"Thank you, Fourth Prince." Jiang Suining was silent for a moment. Seeing that Xiao Yi neither asked him to stand up nor left, he spoke again, "Fourth Prince, I am in a hurry to take my leave."
"Wait." Xiao Yi stopped Jiang Suining, "This prince hasn't finished speaking yet."
"Please enlighten me, Fourth Prince."
"I heard that Miss Jiang has a younger brother. Although he is not her biological brother, they have a very good relationship."
Jiang Suining frowned instantly and looked up at Xiao Yi, "What do you mean by that, Your Highness?"
Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "Nothing, I just want to remind Miss Jiang to keep an eye on your brother, to prevent anything from happening to him, and end up like me, with your brother separated from you."
Xiao Yi walked to the other end of the palace road. Jiang Suining stood there with a cold expression.
Could it be that Xiao Yi wanted to attack Mu Shi in order to take revenge on himself?
But she felt that Xiao Yi didn't seem to be such an impulsive person.
Or maybe he just wanted to say this to scare himself and cause himself to feel uneasy and panic?
Jiang Suining frowned and thought until the voices of Lu Yan and Wei Yao were heard behind him.
"Sui Ning, I saw you standing there from a distance, what's wrong?" Lu Yan asked with concern.
Wei Yao thought for a moment and said, "I just saw the Fourth Prince passing by. Did he say anything to you?"
Jiang Suining exhaled slowly. The weather was getting colder and there was already a noticeable white fog.
"The Fourth Prince reminded me to keep an eye on Mu Shi to prevent him from getting into trouble."
Wei Yao's heart skipped a beat. "He wants to deal with your brother to avenge you?"
"I can't tell. I can't tell if he really wants to do this or if he's just trying to scare me."
Wei Yao frowned, worry showing in her eyes.
Lu Yan advised, "Sui Ning, don't worry. In my opinion, the Fourth Prince is not such an impulsive person. Besides, the Third Prince just got into trouble. If he still has some sense, he won't act rashly and cause trouble. Besides, if he really wanted to retaliate, why would he warn you in advance? I think it's mostly to scare you."
“Having said that, I still have to remind your brother to be more cautious and not be careless. Otherwise, if the Fourth Prince really does something, it will be troublesome.” Wei Yao pursed her lips and spoke.
"I will." Jiang Suining nodded.
This incident was caused by her, and she must not implicate Mu Shi and the Jiang family.
"By the way, Ayan, do you know why the relationship between the Fourth Prince and the Third Prince is so good?" Jiang Suining looked at Lu Yan.
"I have heard of this incident. It seems that when the two were young, the fourth prince accidentally fell into the water. There was no one around at the time, and he almost drowned. It was the third prince who risked his life and jumped in to save him. As a result, the fourth prince was safe and sound, but the third prince was sick for more than half a month because of a cold. The third prince was not favored in the palace, and the two had little interaction at first, but since that incident, the fourth prince often visited the third prince, and the relationship between the brothers became better and better."
"I see." Jiang Suining nodded after thinking about it.
It is already winter. After the twelfth lunar month, there will be many banquets of all sizes in the palace, plus the New Year's Eve palace banquet, so preparations must be made early.
Jiang Suining and her colleagues were busy for the entire day, and were only able to leave the palace half an hour after the end of their shift.
Seeing that it was already dark, Xier stood beside the carriage, looking towards the palace gate from time to time. Only when she saw her young lady coming out safely did she breathe a sigh of relief and hurried forward to greet her.
After saying goodbye to Lu Yan and the others, Jiang Suining got on the carriage.
When she was about to leave, Jiang Suining saw that Wei Yao had no carriage to pick her up today, so he stopped her and sent her back to the rented courtyard before returning to the Jiang family.
The driver was Lin Jie. After arriving at Jiang's house, Lin Jie handed the carriage to the servant, followed Jiang Suining in, and spoke in a low voice.
"Miss, the matter you asked me to investigate has yielded results."
Jiang Suining did not ask immediately, but returned to his own yard first.
After arriving at the courtyard, Lin Jie reported: "Miss, I asked someone to check it out, and there is nothing wrong with the incense ash."
"Can this result be confirmed? Could it be that someone failed to find out something?"
"Miss, I think it should be confirmed. I have consulted several doctors who are proficient in pharmacology today. After checking, they all gave the same result. It is just ordinary sandalwood ash."
Jiang Suining looked at Lin Jie, then looked away after a moment and sighed, "It seems that I was really overthinking it."
