Start practicing from marrying a disfigured princess

Chapter 88 Let's Elope

The next day.

early morning.

Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes and signed in as usual.

[Sign in successfully, agility +1]

Get up and change clothes, pick up the letter you wrote last night, and walk out of the room.

The first thing I saw was Xiao Rongxue in a unicorn suit sitting on a stone bench in the yard, with slightly frowned eyebrows, wondering what she was thinking.

"What are you thinking about?" Ren Pingsheng went to sit opposite her and asked casually.

Xiao Rongxue turned her head to look at him, and asked, "Do you still remember the Qingying girl I mentioned to you last time?"

Ren Pingsheng nodded: "I remember."

On the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, in order for my sister-in-law to see her, I used all the third realm mentioned by Wang Guowei, but I didn't see her in the end.

"Miss Qingying is known as the number one beauty in the south of the Yangtze River, and she is quite well-known in the south. She came to the capital and passed away for no reason, which naturally aroused many fantasies.

There have been rumors in the market that a certain high-ranking official wanted to take her as a concubine by force. Miss Qingying had a strong character and would rather die than follow her, so she hanged herself with a white silk in her room. "

"."

Ren Pingsheng was speechless, and after a while he asked: "So what is the truth?"

"Anyway, it's not as rumored in the market."

Xiao Rongxue sighed, and said: "But this matter is too strange, and rumors will inevitably spread. The people in the Ministry of Punishment were afraid that it would cause a storm in the city, so they handed it over to the Zhenmagic Division, and asked me to find out the cause of Miss Qingying's death."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help complaining: "Obviously there are three people in the yamen, and every time they encounter such endless cases, they will be handed over to me. Those two guys, Bai Ping and Murong, just need to arrest people. Otherwise, it is to eliminate evil cultivators, why?"

Ren Pingsheng shrugged: "It's normal for those who are able to work harder."

Xiao Rongxue looked at him: "But you obviously broke those two cases before."

Ren Pingsheng said: "That's because I helped you solve the case, and in essence it was you who solved the case."

Xiao Rongxue was momentarily at a loss for words.

Ren Pingsheng glanced at her and said, "If you don't want to investigate the case, just leave the case there. As long as you can't find anything, similar cases will not be handed over to you after storage."

"Makes sense."

Xiao Rongxue's eyes lit up, then she thought of something, and then dimmed again: "If this is the case, wouldn't the case be dragged into an unsolved case."

In the final analysis, the sense of responsibility is too strong.

I don't want to work, but I don't want to show off.

That being the case, it can only bear the CPU of the boss silently.

anyway.

In fact, Xiao Rongxue didn't need to be too entangled.

According to the emperor's wishes, she can only leave the capital after solving five cases.

Zhenmusi must have handed over the difficult case to her.

"I think you should be more concerned about whether you will be trapped in the Zhenmagic Department for the rest of your life because you can't solve five cases." Ren Pingsheng said.

Hearing this, Xiao Rongxue remembered that the reason why she was working in Zhenma Division was because of the request of the emperor, and what she should care about was to solve the case as soon as possible, and use the sword to fight the rivers and lakes, instead of complaining about too many cases.

for myself.

The more cases the better.

After reacting, Xiao Rongxue looked at Ren Pingsheng, did not speak, but desire was revealed in his eyes.

Hope that Ren Pingsheng can help her.

When Ren Pingsheng saw this scene, he suddenly remembered that she owed him ten times and hadn't paid it back. He frowned: "The last time I owed me ten times, when do you plan to pay it back?"

ten times?

Xiao Rongxue was stunned for a second, then suddenly realized.

Ren Pingsheng was talking about pinching his shoulders and beating his legs.

After hesitating for a while, she stood up, put the Xiuchun knife on her waist, walked behind Ren Pingsheng, stretched out her slender jade hand, put it on his shoulder, and gently kneaded it.

"It's light." Ren Pingsheng said lightly.

There was a touch of embarrassment in Xiao Rongxue's eyes, and she increased her strength.

"It's heavy."

"."

Xiao Rongxue gritted her teeth, but said nothing, and silently slowed down her strength.

The rebellious Xiao Xia was very well-behaved this time, Ren Pingsheng was quite satisfied, and said: "So what clues have you found in the past few days?
In addition to what you said last time, Wu did an autopsy and found that she had been dead for three years. "

"There's nothing else." Xiao Rongxue said a little defeated.

Ren Pingsheng was a little speechless: "After searching for so many days, you only found this one piece of information?"

Xiao Rongxue was just silent.

When Ren Pingsheng heard this, he suddenly regretted asking her to help him investigate the assassin's background.

Could it be that after half a month of investigation, no news can be found.

but.

Xiao Rongxue is the only one beside me who can help, let alone others.

Thinking of this, Ren Pingsheng sighed in his heart, and slowly said: "Actually, this case has no beginning and no end, it is inexplicable, and it is really difficult to investigate. The only thing that is certain is that Miss Qingying did not die normally."

After a pause, he asked, "Speaking of which, after being dead for three years, the corpse is still lifelike. What kind of cultivation system can do this?"

Xiao Rongxue replied: "The Gu clan has a way to refine fresh corpses into puppets, which will maintain their original appearance and retain a certain strength for several years or even decades.

But this kind of puppet can't speak, and it doesn't have its own consciousness, so someone must be around to control it.

There are also barbarians who have the means to refine puppets, but I don't know how effective they are. "

Ren Pingsheng thought for a few seconds and asked, "If you use the soul to control the puppet, will it achieve a lifelike effect?"

Xiao Rongxue thought for a while, then nodded: "It should be possible. But for monks of the fourth rank and below, the soul cannot leave the body for too long, otherwise it will dissipate in the world. Only extraordinary monks can leave the body for up to three years. "

There should be no reason for the extraordinary monk to leave the body and control a corpse to live in Jiangzhou for three years.

Ren Pingsheng frowned slightly, thought for a few seconds, and then asked: "Have you checked the people around Miss Qingying?"

Xiao Rongxue said sternly: "There is only one maid who takes care of her daily life by her side. I have already checked that she is from Jiangzhou, and there is nothing unusual about it."

Speaking of this, I thought of something, and added: "By the way, Miss Qingying's fame began in Jiangzhou three years ago."

Look at it this way.

The real Qingying girl should have died three years ago.

Someone refined her body into a puppet and controlled her with his soul.

Of course, this is only an inference made based on the information currently available, and may not be accurate.

"In this way, the real girl Qingying has been dead for three years, what Xiao Rongxue wants to investigate is not the cause of her death, but the cause of death of the one who was resurrected...

But, is the one who resurrected from the corpse really dead? "

Ren Pingsheng thought for a few seconds, then said in a deep voice: "Is there a possibility that the soul controlling Miss Qingying's body encountered some kind of accident and chose to leave on her own initiative, thus creating the illusion of Miss Qingying's death?"

A look of helplessness appeared on Xiao Rongxue's face: "I thought so too, but there is no evidence, how to close the case?

Furthermore, you can't tell the people who are paying attention to this matter that Miss Qingying died three years ago, and what you have seen all these years are just puppets controlled by others? "

"It's not easy, just make up a reason and fool it."

Ren Pingsheng said solemnly: "Let's say that Miss Qingying has a lover. The two of them were having a tryst in Tingfeng Pavilion. During the cloudy weather, the lover accidentally missed and strangled Miss Qingying to death. The news has not been made public before. It is to take care of Qingying." Shadow girl's posthumous name."

"."

The corners of Xiao Rongxue's eyes twitched, and she couldn't help asking: "Are you serious?"

Ren Pingsheng frowned: "Naturally, I have already thought about the name of my lover, so I will call him Qiwu."

Xiao Rongxue was momentarily at a loss for words, and the movements of her hands also stopped.

Ren Pingsheng said: "Actually, in the final analysis, this is not a case at all, what those passers-by want to hear is gossip, even if Miss Qingying died of natural causes, they will still make up some messy rumors.

That being the case, it is better to follow their wishes, make up something they want to hear, and keep the news, so that no one will talk about the rumor of forced marriage as a concubine. "

at this time.

Xiao Rongxue suddenly asked: "How can I explain this to the Deputy Envoy of Zhenmo and the people in the Ministry of Punishment?"

"Just tell the truth."

Ren Pingsheng said: "Squeeze the rumors first, and then slowly investigate the truth, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will understand."

Xiao Rongxue fell into silence upon hearing this.

Ren Pingsheng continued: "In fact, I think that instead of investigating whether Miss Qingying was killed and who the murderer is, it is better to investigate why she refined this body into a puppet, and why she came to the capital at this time."

"It makes sense." Xiao Rongxue nodded slightly.

"Continue, don't stop." Ren Pingsheng reminded.

Xiao Rongxue was startled for a moment, and only reacted in the next second. She pursed her lips and continued to rub his shoulders.

Ren Pingsheng asked while enjoying the woman's massage service, "Did the capital hold any large-scale events recently?"

Miss Qingying had been in Jiangzhou before, and she must have a purpose when she suddenly came to the capital.

What purpose is unknown, we can only start with the recent large-scale activities to see if we can find some clues.

Xiao Rongxue thought for a few seconds before replying: "Dragon Boat Festival counts as one, your marriage with Princess Chang'an counts as one, and Xia Miao will be held at the Wusheng Mountain hunting ground half a month later."

"Xia Miao?" Ren Pingsheng had heard this word before, but couldn't remember what it meant.

Xiao Rongxue explained: "It's hunting in summer. During the Xia Miao period, the emperor will put the monster captives captured from the border in the past two years into the hunting ground near Wusheng Mountain, and be hunted by Wu Xun's disciples. The number and ranking will be rewarded respectively, and the top three will be awarded the title of Monster Hunting General, and when they go to the border to fight against the monster clan, they can directly lead an army."

"It sounds a bit like the imperial examination for Wu Xun's children."

"Yes, that's it."

anyway.

I can be regarded as a child of Wu Xun, so I don't know if I want to participate in this Xia Miao.

Thinking of this, Ren Pingsheng's eyes showed curiosity, and asked: "What is the general state of participating in Xia Miao?"

Xiao Rongxue said: "Everything from the sixth to the ninth rank."

"No fifth grade?"

"Among Wu Xun's disciples, there are not many who can cultivate to the fifth rank. These people are either practicing outside, or killing the enemy at the border, and very few of them are still in the capital."

It is true.

Most of the warriors of this age are seventh or eighth rank.

Those with higher talents, rank six.

A rank five like Xiao Rongxue is extremely rare, otherwise, she wouldn't be ranked ninth on the list of Tianjiao.

"Rank [-] and rank [-] compete in the same field. If you meet a powerful demon captive, wouldn't the rank [-] be at risk of being killed?" Ren Pingsheng asked again.

"In theory, it is true, but before entering the hunting ground, who would not prepare a few life-saving instruments for themselves? As long as they can delay for a while and wait for rescue, their lives will not be in danger.

If he was really killed by the captives of the Yaozu, there is nothing wrong with it, hunting is inherently risky. "

Hearing this, Ren Pingsheng had a general understanding of this so-called Xia Miao.

Back to the case itself, lost in thought.

Xiao Rongxue said before.

The Gu clan has the means to refine puppets.

The Gu clan and the Yao clan are allies.

Ms. Qingying's coming to the capital might have something to do with Xia Miao, who is hunting the captives of the demon clan half a month later?

There is no valid information, such a random guess, the possibility of guessing is very small.

Ren Pingsheng didn't want to waste any more time on this matter, and said, "I can't find anything at all with just a corpse from three years ago. Why don't you follow what I said, first make up a reason to quell the rumors, and then if you find something related to this If there are clues related to the matter, we will continue to investigate."

When Xiao Rongxue heard this, she thought about it for a while, and felt that it made sense, so she stopped insisting and nodded: "Okay, I will do as you said."

"This son still has something to do, let's stop here."

Ren Pingsheng stood up, turned his head to look at Xiao Rongxue, raised his eyebrows: "Remember, you still owe me nine times."

Xiao Rongxue turned a deaf ear to it, expressionless: "Are you going to make this only one osmanthus cake again?"

"." Ren Pingsheng was silent for a moment.

Xiao Rongxue didn't say any more, picked up the embroidered spring knife on the table, walked to the door, and left a sentence: "I will keep in mind what I owe you, and I will pay it back in the future."

Why do you say this for no reason?
Ren Pingsheng felt a little baffled, turned his head and saw that Xiao Rongxue had left, so he stopped thinking about it.

Called Li Yong, took out the letter written last night, handed it to him, and ordered: "Send this letter back to the north."

"Yes, son!" Li Yong took the letter, saluted and turned to leave.

Ren Pingsheng sat alone on the spot and began to practice.

After half an hour.

At the end of the practice, I suddenly remembered that I haven't gone to coax my sister-in-law today.

He looked up at the sky.

Fortunately, it's not too late, it should be in time.

Ren Pingsheng hurriedly got up and walked out of the courtyard.

Royal Palace.

Yong'an Palace.

Liu Yunmeng sat in the yard, propped his chin with his hands, looked at the door boredly, and muttered in a low voice: "Why haven't you come yet, why don't you come today?"

aside.

Seeing this, Qing'er said, "Your Highness, don't worry, the prince didn't come, maybe it's just because of an accident on the way."

Liu Yunmeng was slightly taken aback, and asked: "What accident?"

"Maybe I met an assassin, I might be hit by a carriage, or I might go crazy while practicing, who knows? All in all, I probably didn't miss His Highness on purpose." Qing'er said in a flat tone.

Hearing this, Liu Yunmeng's heart skipped a beat, and various images could not help but appear in his mind.

…Ren Pingsheng was walking on the street when a carriage sped past him, knocking him into the air.

…Ren Pingsheng had just left the house when a masked assassin rushed up and aimed a knife at his lower abdomen. The white knife went in and the red knife went out.

The more I think about it, the more my hearts are pulled together, and the delicate little face is full of worries.

"I'm going to see him."

Finally, Liu Yunmeng couldn't bear the uneasiness in his heart anymore, stood up abruptly, and wanted to go outside.

Seeing this, Qing'er smiled, and said, "Your Highness can't go to see the prince."

"Why?" Liu Yunmeng frowned slightly.

"Because His Highness said that His Highness must keep a distance from the prince, otherwise he will be regarded as a poor shoe by the prince."

This is what my concubine said, not me.

Liu Yun dreamed of what his mother and concubine had said to him, gradually calmed down, but still worried about Ren Pingsheng, thought for a few seconds, looked at Qing'er, and ordered: "Send someone to Ren's mansion to take a look."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Qing'er responded, turned around and left, just as she walked out of the courtyard, she heard a court lady shouting: "The prince is here! The prince is here!"

"."

Qing'er stopped in her tracks for a few seconds, then turned back and said, "Your Highness, the prince is here."

Liu Yunmeng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and asked, "Is he alright?"

Hearing this question, Qing'er was at a loss for words for a while, and said in silence for a few seconds: "I haven't seen the son, I think I should be fine."

"That's good."

Liu Yunmeng was completely relieved now.

Seeing this scene, Qing'er thought for a while and asked, "Has Your Highness seen the prince today?"

See. Still don't see.

Liu Yunmeng was once again caught in a tangle, Liu Mei frowned slightly, not knowing what to choose.

Her world is very small, so small that it can only accommodate a few people... Father Emperor, Mother Concubine, Brother Ning Wang, and Ren Pingsheng.

This name has already occupied an important part of her life, and it is impossible to sever contact with him at all.

but.

It is also difficult for her to pretend that nothing happened and maintain the original relationship with Ren Pingsheng.

Before Ren Pingsheng and Chang An got married, she thought she could pretend nothing happened.

However, after they got married, she realized that whenever she thought of Ren Pingsheng, the image of him hugging Chang An would involuntarily pop up in her mind, and she felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

aside.

Seeing the pain on his highness's face, Qing'er felt a little distressed, hesitated for a while, and said, "I think your highness doesn't need to think too much, see you when you want to see, and disappear if you don't want to see."

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "Perhaps, after His Highness does things according to his heart, he will find that the original distress and worry are nothing at all."

When Liu Yunmeng heard this, she was slightly taken aback, and turned to look at Qing'er. After thinking for a few seconds, she suddenly felt that it made sense.

"Let him wait at the door, and Ben Gong will change." Liu Yunmeng pursed her lips and said.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Qing'er responded with a happy face.

Outside Yongan Palace.

Ren Pingsheng stood upright on the spot with a dignified expression, but he was careless in his heart.

"Why are you so slow today? If you refuse earlier, I can go back to practice."

Thinking of this, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the room.

Followed by.

A court lady appeared in front of him.

"My lord, please come in, Your Highness."

"Understood, I will see His Highness tomorrow, please tell Your Highness that the heat has been severe recently, drink more heat-dispelling soup on weekdays."

Another concern.

After speaking, a look of loneliness appeared on his face, he turned and left, his movements were done in one go, as if he had rehearsed before.

Seeing this scene, the palace lady was a little dazed, and it took a while to react, and hurriedly repeated: "Your Majesty! Your Highness has promised to see you!"

"?"

Hearing this, Ren Pingsheng was slightly taken aback, stopped, and turned to look at the maid, a little in disbelief.

It's only been a few days?

Is my sister-in-law willing to see herself?

It seems to be much more coaxing than imagined.

After Ren Pingsheng was in a daze for a few seconds, he suddenly realized that his behavior was too indifferent, not like someone waiting for forgiveness.

Hastily putting on a surprised look, said excitedly: "The minister has finally waited for this day."

Seeing this scene, the maid immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Shizi's performance just now, she thought that Shizi's loneliness and pain before were all pretended to deceive His Highness.

Now it seems that is not the case.

Shizi was just too excited and didn't know what to do for a while.

The palace maid thought so, and made a gesture of invitation: "This servant will lead the son to see His Highness."

After speaking, return to Yong'an Palace.

Seeing this, Ren Pingsheng followed behind.

After a while.

Ren Pingsheng came to a courtyard and saw his sister-in-law standing not far away, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

She has obviously been well-groomed today.

She was wearing a long purple dress, embroidered with rich and noble peonies, and the water-green silk was tucked around her waist, and her slender figure was unmistakably obvious.

The skin is as soft and smooth as gentle jade, and the cherry mouth is red without spots, delicate and charming, and the two strands of hair on the side of the cheeks are gently blown by the wind to add a bit of seductive style.

Although it hasn't grown up yet, it already looks like a beauty, a beauty.

Why didn't I find out before that my sister-in-law is so good-looking.

Ren Pingsheng was in a daze for a few seconds, and gradually realized that it might be because he had seen each other every day before, and he was no stranger to it.

the other side.

Liu Yunmeng noticed that Ren Pingsheng was looking straight at her eyes, and a shyness and pride welled up in her heart.

In the past few days, she has been thinking about how to dress when meeting Ren Pingsheng from time to time.

Now it seems that there is no blind pondering, and the effect is very good.

Thinking so in my heart, I heard Ren Pingsheng's voice.

"Your Highness has lost weight."

Liu Yunmeng looked up, and saw that Ren Pingsheng's eyes had changed from amazement to distress.

Why does he feel sorry for himself?
Have you lost a lot of weight?
As Liu Yunmeng thought about it, he saw Ren Pingsheng walking towards him.

"It's all my fault. If there is no minister, Your Highness won't be sad these few days, and won't be much thinner, minister. Damn it."

Ren Pingsheng walked in front of Liu Yunmeng, his face was full of pain and self-blame, his eyes were full of distress, and he subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to caress her face.

It stretched halfway, and seemed to think of something, and suddenly stopped, just hanging in the air.

aside.

Seeing this scene, Qing'er and the court lady were moved, and their minds were filled with the thought that the son really has a deep love for His Highness.

When Liu Yunmeng heard Ren Pingsheng's words full of self-blame, his eyes gradually turned into autumn water, and he stared at his face with only one thought in his mind.

He looked so haggard.

the other side.

Ren Pingsheng recalled the romance drama clips that he saw back then, and tried his best to imitate them.

First, he exhausted his acting skills all his life, trying to make himself haggard and blamed himself, and then slowly said in a trembling voice: "I really hope that Your Highness can forget the memories of getting along with you, so that His Highness will not be ashamed because of you." Feeling sad, all the pain, it is good for me to bear alone."

The voice fell.

It was quiet all around.

Seeing that no one responded, Ren Pingsheng's heart skipped a beat.

"Could it be that you've used too much force, making it awkward?

It would be a bit embarrassing if my sister-in-law didn't take this approach. "

Ren Pingsheng thought about this, and when he looked up, he saw Liu Yunmeng's beautiful peach eyes were filled with mist, as if he was about to shed tears in the next second.

There was a sobbing voice from the palace maid beside her: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo That's so touching""

"."

The corners of Ren Pingsheng's eyes twitched, and he opened his mouth, wanting to continue to admit his mistake.

Before he could open his mouth, a soft body jumped into his arms.

Liu Yunmeng threw herself into his arms, trembling slightly, buried her face in his chest, sobbing silently.

soon.

The clothes on Ren Pingsheng's chest were wet with tears, and an unspeakable emotion rose in his heart.

At this moment, all the previously prepared routines were forgotten.

He gently hugged the little girl's slender waist, without saying a word, letting her hug him tightly.

Time passed minute by minute.

I do not know how long it has been.

Liu Yunmeng's soft voice came from his arms.

"I do not want."

Ren Pingsheng was startled, not understanding what she meant.

Immediately afterwards, I heard my sister-in-law say: "Don't forget the memories of getting along with you."

Put it before.

Hearing such a nasty sentence, Ren Pingsheng could only complain silently in his heart: embarrassing.

but.

At this moment, Ren Pingsheng only had warmth and emotion in his heart.

With a slight force in his hands, he hugged the girl in his arms, and said softly: "As long as His Highness is happy, I am willing to do everything for His Highness."

After speaking, he clearly felt that the girl in his arms trembled slightly.

Soon.

Liu Yunmeng raised her head slowly, staring at him with watery eyes, as if making some important decision, her voice trembled: "Let's elope."

Ren Pingsheng: "."

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

There was a deathly silence all around.

After a few seconds.

Liu Yunmeng's pear-shaped face with rain showed a smile: "Just kidding, I see you were scared."

Ren Pingsheng: "."

At this time, no matter what he said or what he did, it was inappropriate... Thoughts filled his mind, and Ren Pingsheng finally chose to remain silent.

When Liu Yunmeng said the word "elope" just now, he was also in a feverish state, but he quickly calmed down, acting as if nothing happened.

Stretching out a slender hand, wiped away tears, and changed the subject: "I ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you made. It's delicious."

Ren Pingsheng tacitly didn't mention what happened just now, he smiled and said, "It's as long as His Highness likes it."

After finishing speaking, it suddenly occurred to me that there were two court ladies by her side just now.

If the word of elopement was heard by them and spread, my sister-in-law might be in trouble.

Turning his head to look, he saw that the side was empty, and he was relieved immediately.

He didn't feel anyone leaving just now.

Therefore, the two maids should have left when the sister-in-law threw herself into her arms.

It can be considered a little sharp.

As Ren Pingsheng thought about it, his sister-in-law's soft and slightly hoarse voice came from his ears after crying.

"Chang An used to bully Ben Gong every day, as her husband, you have to atone for her.

Well, I will punish you to bring the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you made yourself to the palace to play chess with me every seven days, how about that? "

Ren Pingsheng looked at his sister-in-law and asked, "Why are there seven days apart?"

It's because I'm afraid that you are too busy to practice and don't have time to come to see Bengong.
Liu Yunmeng thought so in her heart, but she didn't say so, she just said: "Seven days are seven days, why are there so many?"

"If the minister misses His Highness, can he come earlier?" Ren Pingsheng asked softly.

Liu Yunmeng was startled, looked up, and saw Ren Pingsheng's handsome face with a faint smile, his brows were full of tenderness, his heart trembled, as if there was a surge of electricity, and a numb feeling arose .

"The legs grow on your body, it's up to you." Liu Yunmeng said with her long eyelashes trembling slightly, biting her pink lips.

Ren Pingsheng looked at the pink and cute little girl in front of him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, couldn't help being provocative, and said with a smile: "If your highness doesn't hate me, then I will come to see you often, if your highness."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the voice of the palace lady shouting from outside the courtyard.

"See Concubine Duan!"

Concubine Duan?

Ren Pingsheng was slightly taken aback, and suddenly realized that it might be his sister-in-law's biological mother.

Turning to look at my sister-in-law, her eyes were slightly red, the tears on both sides of her cheeks were still wet, and her beautiful peach eyes were slightly flustered.

A look of being bullied miserably.

Not to mention the lonely man and widow living in the same room.

Just say whose mother saw her daughter crying like this, didn't she have any other thoughts in her heart?

now.

Ren Pingsheng actually felt a little at a loss.

How will you explain to Concubine Duan later?
Just say that I just came to play chess with my sister-in-law?
It sounded like a bit of an understatement.

Or else, simply confess that I am here to pick up girls, bah, to accompany you.

It seems even more inappropriate.

If it doesn't work, how about using lightness kung fu and climbing over the palace wall?

Ren Pingsheng's mind turned rapidly, and before he could think of a suitable method, he heard footsteps outside the courtyard getting closer.

at this time.

Liu Yunmeng suddenly stretched out her slender hand, grabbed his arm, and dragged him into the room.

What's the matter with dragging it into the house?

If this is seen, wouldn't it be easier to misunderstand?

Ren Pingsheng thought so, and still resisted a little.

Liu Yun dreamed about it, a little anxious, stomped his feet lightly: "Come with me."

Ren Pingsheng had no choice but to follow her into the house.

Liu Yunmeng looked around the room, her gaze was fixed on the bed, and she hurriedly said, "Go to bed!"

"."

The corner of Ren Pingsheng's mouth twitched, and there was only one thought in his mind: My sister-in-law is trying to harm me!
"Can't it be under the bed?"

Liu Yunmeng originally wanted to cover him under the quilt, but when she heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, and nodded: "Okay, I won't talk later, don't come out."

"it is good."

Ren Pingsheng didn't say any more, and got under the bed decisively.

Liu Yunmeng stood aside, took a few glances, and found nothing unusual, wiped away her tears, and walked out.

As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw the concubine mother appearing at the gate of the courtyard, still looking dignified, with a gentle smile on her face.

"My concubine made some sweet-scented osmanthus cheese this morning. After sending it to your father, there was still some left over. I thought you would like to eat it, so I brought it to you."

As Concubine Duan said, she raised her eyes and saw her daughter's eyes were reddish, there were clear tears on her cheeks, and the hair on her forehead was also wet with sweat, making it a little messy.

just like.
Although she knew that her own Menger was definitely not that kind of person, but she saw this scene.

She still couldn't help having some thoughts, her face turned cold instantly, and she asked calmly, "Did someone come here before the concubine mother?"

Hearing these words, Liu Yunmeng's heart sank, she forced out a smile, and said: "It's not that the concubine mother doesn't know that my son always likes to be alone, so who will come to my son this early in the morning."

Saying this on the lips, but praying silently in my heart, don't be found out, don't be found out
She still remembers.

The concubine mother once told herself again and again that even if she maintained the current relationship with Ren Pingsheng, she should not get too close to him, but keep a certain distance.

If I let my concubine know, I would allow Ren Pingsheng to come into the palace and hug him.

The concubine mother will definitely punish herself.

Punishment is a trivial matter.

It would be troublesome if the mother and concubine did not allow Ren Pingsheng to come to the palace again in the future.

Thinking of this, she stepped forward, embraced the concubine's arm, shook it gently, and said coquettishly: "I haven't eaten crispy cheese for many days, and it's still the crispy cheese with sweet-scented osmanthus, it's still the concubine's mother I understand Erchen, I know that Erchen likes sweet-scented osmanthus."

Her heart was thumping, she didn't know what she was talking about, she just wanted to divert the concubine's attention.

I don't know.

The more she was like this, the more suspicious Concubine Duan became.

At this moment.

Concubine Duan looked at her daughter's abnormal appearance and was almost certain.

Someone has been here before.

And most likely a man!
"With Meng'er's original character, it is absolutely impossible to bring someone back to the palace, let alone have a relationship with him.
Could it be that he saw Ren Pingsheng marrying Chang An with his own eyes, felt depressed, and deliberately took revenge?

No, no, Menger is not such a person.

What is going on. "

At this moment, Concubine Duan was in a state of confusion, her face became colder and she said nothing.

Liu Yun dreamed that his mother and concubine did not speak, and his heart became more and more flustered, his voice trembled a little: "Mother, concubine mother, where is the crispy cheese you brought? I want to try it."

"Ah."

Concubine Duan was afraid of irritating her daughter again, so she calmed down, nodded slightly, and winked at the maid behind her.

The maid behind her immediately understood, and brought a bowl of crispy cheese with sweet-scented osmanthus and nuts sprinkled on it, which looked very good.

"My concubine's craftsmanship is really amazing. Even the chefs in Guanglu Temple can't make such crispy cheese."

As Liu Yunmeng said, he stretched out his hand to bring the crispy cheese, picked up the spoon, took a bite, put it into his mouth, and said while tasting.

Concubine Duan looked at her flustered little eyes, and suddenly felt a little distressed.

If Ren Pingsheng hadn't married Chang An, Meng'er would not have changed her temperament drastically and did things that were completely inconsistent with her original personality.

Sighing in my heart, I said: "Go in and sit down, Mother Concubine has something to say to you."

When Liu Yunmeng heard this, he couldn't help thinking of Ren Pingsheng who was still lying on the bed, and hesitated a little.

But worried about arousing the suspicion of the concubine mother, she quickly made a decision and nodded lightly: "Yeah."

The two entered the main room one after the other.

Sitting on the chair, Concubine Duan looked at her absent-minded daughter who was holding a bowl in front of her, and said earnestly, "Meng'er, when you still have some things, you don't think there is anything there, and you don't know how precious they are until you lose them. "

"Ah."

Liu Yunmeng didn't understand why Concubine Mu suddenly mentioned this, but she still nodded slightly.

He wanted to let the concubine mother finish her speech earlier and leave earlier.

"Meng'er, Concubine Mother didn't joke with you, put down the bowl, sit in front of Concubine Mother, and listen carefully to Concubine Mother."

Concubine Duan's tone suddenly became serious.

After Liu Yunmeng heard this, she was afraid that her concubine would find out, so she didn't dare to be negligent, so she put the crispy cheese on the table and sat beside her concubine.

"Mother and concubine, you must listen carefully." Liu Yunmeng's face was serious, but her small eyes subconsciously drifted towards the bed.

Concubine Duan didn't notice this scene, she still had a earnest look, and said slowly: "Mother Concubine knows that after your Brother Ning Wang left Beijing, you have been depressed and have nothing to do all day long.

It is Ren Pingsheng who plays chess with you, takes you shopping, and steps forward to save your life when you encounter an assassin. It is human nature for you to become dependent on him.

But this kind of dependence does not necessarily mean the kind of emotion you think, you don't need to look at it too much. It would be foolish to give up on yourself just because he married a wife.

Concubine Mu said something ugly, if you don't give up on yourself, even if Ren Pingsheng has married Chang An, he may not be tempted by you anymore, if you...
Hey, concubine mother knows, you won't take it to heart when concubine mother says these things, you are still young and don't understand men."

Not finished yet.

Liu Yunmeng at the side finally came to his senses, slightly dazed, and asked: "What is the concubine mother talking about, what is she giving up on herself?"

still not admitting
Concubine Duan's face turned cold, she looked straight at Liu Yunmeng, and asked, "Tell Concubine Mother the truth, before Concubine Mother, did any men come to your place?"

Hear the question.

Liu Yunmeng felt that her breathing was stagnant for a second, and her heartbeat accelerated sharply, beating non-stop.

"no!"

In the next second, she denied it without any hesitation.

While speaking, his eyes drifted uncontrollably to the bed.

This time.

Concubine Duan finally noticed this detail and followed her gaze.

Seeing the bed, my heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

At the same time, a bold idea came to mind.

Is it
That man is in the house and hasn't left yet?
