Ning Yue nodded. “I know about this. Also, remember to tell me if you find anything.”
“Okay.” With that, Jiang Ying sighed heavily.
After the two of them finished their work in the palace, they returned to the Ning family. It was already very late when they returned, but Old Master Ning was not asleep yet. When he saw Jiang Ying and Ning Yue return, he quickly got someone to heat up the food.
“You must all be hungry. Eat something first,” the old man said.
After the three of them ate something, Old Master Ning said, “I received a letter. Take a look.”
As he spoke, he took out a letter and handed it to Ning Yue. She took it and opened it. She was stunned. Seeing this, Jiang Ying couldn’t help but ask, “What does the letter say?”
…..
Without a word, Ning Yue handed the letter to Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying opened it and was also stunned.
It turned out that this letter was about the cause of the Empress Dowager’s death. According to the letter, the Empress Dowage did not die naturally, but was murdered.
“Grandpa, where did this letter come from?” Ning Yue asked.
“I don’t know either. At that time, I wanted to go out, but I didn’t expect to see this letter at the door. After reading it, I’ve been waiting at home for you to come back,” Old Master Ning replied.
The content in the letter was too important, and Jiang Ying and Ning Yue were busy. Wouldn’t sending someone over now disturb them?
Therefore, after thinking about it, Old Master Ning still felt that he should wait for the two of them to return home.
“Grandpa, has anyone else read the contents of this letter?” Jiang Ying asked Old Master Ning.
Old Master Ning shook his head. “This matter is too serious. I don’t even dare to say anything to my family.”
In everyone’s eyes, the Empress Dowager had died because she was old, but this letter said that she had been murdered.
If the contents of the letter were to spread, it would definitely attract the attention of many people.
First of all, the emperor was one of them. This was because the current emperor was the biological grandson of the Empress Dowager. He would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.
Whether this matter was true or not, the Ning family would attract the suspicion of the emperor.
This was because those people had actually sent the news to the Marquis Dingyuan’s Residence and not directly told the emperor. This could make the emperor suspicious of them.
After thinking for a moment, Old Master Ning still planned to tell Jiang Ying about this. In the end, it would be up to him to decide.
“Thank you, Grandpa,” Jiang Ying said to him.
“You’re welcome. Go back to your rooms and rest. You still have things to do tomorrow. Go to bed early.” With that, Old Master Ning turned around and left.
The sudden death of the Empress Dowager exhausted Jiang Ying and Ning Yue both physically and mentally. After returning to their room, they quickly fell asleep.
What surprised the two of them was that the next day, the emperor’s men arrived. They helped the emperor pass the message that he wanted them to enter the palace for a banquet tonight.
Ning Yue looked at the eunuch who had sent the message in confusion. “Why is there suddenly a banquet?”
The chief eunuch replied honestly, “It’s prepared for Princess Dawn of the Black City Kingdom.”
Princess Dawn, who was afraid of being implicated by Lian Xin, had been keeping a low profile for many days.
Now that the Empress Dowager had passed away and the funeral was over, Princess Dawn couldn’t hold it in anymore. She entered the palace to discuss the marriage with the emperor.
Originally, the death of the Grand Empress Dowager was a national funeral. In three years, the entire country could not hold a joyous occasion. However, Princess Dawn was the princess of the Black City Kingdom. As long as the emperor did not want to fall out with her now, he could not ignore Princess Dawn’s request.
“Heir, the emperor wants you and Princess Mingyue to enter the palace,” the eunuch said.
“Alright, tell my brother that we ll go tonight,” Jiang Ying told the eunuch.
Actually, Jiang Ying was very dissatisfied with Princess Dawn. The Empress Dowager’s funeral had just ended, and she wanted to cause trouble again.
The two of them were busy investigating the death of the Empress Dowager for the entire day. At night, the two of them entered the palace together.
The two of them sat down and waited for a long time before the banquet began.
Ning Yue was very curious.. Where had Princess Dawn gone?
