After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death
Chapter 137 The Wind Comes
Yan Ling looked at the man who suddenly broke into the yard in astonishment. He was protecting Ning'er in a very familiar manner. Before Yan Ling could say anything, the man seemed to have taken the initiative.
He turned his head nervously to look at Ning'er and said softly, "Miss Shen, is everything okay?" Then he changed his tone completely.
Ning'er was filled with worry and anxiety, and was shocked. She was still in a daze. Xiang Ming wiped her tears and stepped forward: "Excuse me, sir, what do you mean by this?"
His whole heart was on Ning'er, but he ignored her.
Seeing that he was rude, Yan Ling was about to ask, but she saw Shen Chongyao running over with sweat all over his forehead, calling out, "Lord Lu, Lord Lu, please wait for me."
He secretly groaned, wondering what was wrong with Lu Kui, sending a note to his door for no reason and saying that he would be there immediately.
The Marquis was seriously injured, so he was temporarily in charge of all the interpersonal affairs in the mansion. Although there was a huge difference in their positions, Shen Chongyao had no choice but to bite the bullet and receive Lord Lu, who was known to be difficult to serve.
Originally, he was led in, and the two were just walking, but Lu Kui suddenly got mad, left him behind, and ran to the Marquis's courtyard. As soon as he arrived, he set his eyes on Miss Ning.
Where is this going?
Shen Chongyao walked up to Lu Kui and scolded him in a nonchalant manner: "Yan Ling Xiangming, you must not be rude. Hurry up and meet Lord Lu."
He glanced at Ning'er secretly and saw that her face was full of sorrow. His heart tightened. He looked at Xiang Ming and Yan Ling one by one and saw that everyone looked confused and at a loss. He felt something was wrong.
He didn't care about Lu Kui beside him for a moment, and asked hurriedly: "What happened?"
Ning Er looked into the room, her eyelashes stained with water. When she saw Shen Chongyao, she felt like she had found her backbone: "Go and see the Marquis quickly. They said that the Marquis is not feeling well."
"What?" Shen Chongyao lifted his robe and walked into the house. He asked anxiously, "Such a big thing happened, why didn't anyone tell me!"
Before he could push the door open and go in, a little medicine boy appeared out of nowhere, dressed as a doctor in the palace's imperial pharmacy, and said solemnly, "The two masters have ordered that no one is allowed to enter."
Lu Kui looked at the medicine boy's attire, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. He did not feel the slightest bit of embarrassment at being ignored and ignored by Ning'er. Instead, he stepped forward, held down Shen Chongyao who was about to rush in, and said gently, "Sir Shen, calm down. The imperial physician has his reasons for saying so."
He pulled Shen Chongyao in a different direction, and naturally took him to the courtyard, advising him: "Not allowing you to go in now is good news."
He didn't care whether others heard what he said, but Ning'er's eyes lit up. Yes! If it really reached the point where it was hopeless, the second master would most likely be asked to come in and explain.
Lu Kui remained expressionless but was calculating rapidly in his mind: the Lin family said that Miss Shen was the old lady's cousin and was just staying at the Marquis' Mansion.
But just based on this relationship, why would she look so distracted when she heard that Shen Chongyan was seriously injured?
As soon as she returned home, she did not go to the elders' room to answer, but went straight to the Marquis's courtyard. Judging from her behavior, she was obviously very familiar with the maid in charge of the courtyard, and seemed very close to the second son of the Shen family and that boy.
Lu Kui was a meticulous person, he had been working in the dark for many years and was used to doing interrogations. At this moment, he was sure that the rumors were wrong and Miss Shen must have a close relationship with Marquis Xinyuan.
Shen Chongyan bowed and said, "Thank you Lord Lu for your advice. I was mistaken. However, my brother's condition is still unclear. Please forgive me for my poor reception."
After all, Lu Kui sent the letter to Xinyuan Hou by name, but now Shen Chongyan's life and death are uncertain, so this reason is untenable. Shen Chongyao couldn't take care of him, so he euphemistically issued an order to expel him.
Lu Kui glanced at the medicine boy and said with a faint smile: "Lord Shen is wrong. If what I am thinking is correct, the one who is treating Lord Shen now is the imperial physician in the palace?"
Shen Chongyao said: "The grace of heaven is great. It is indeed that the emperor has pity on the marquis and specially sent an imperial physician to treat him."
Lu Kui said, "That's right. The imperial physician saved people because of the emperor's order. I think the reason why Lord Shen was injured is because he was diligent in the king's affairs."
His face turned serious, and he saluted and said, "I am fortunate to be valued by the emperor. I come in and out of the palace and obey the king's orders. I am not here for feasting or entertainment, so how can I say that I am not receiving you well enough?"
Shen Chongyao was shocked. From Lu Kui's tone, he knew he had come to the mansion on official business. This matter was serious, so he couldn't help but ask, "Lord Lu, can I have a word with you?"
Deep down, he really didn't want Lu Kui to get involved in his affairs during this turbulent time.
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the literati and poets he used to hang around with, Lu Kui has always been arrogant, cruel, and murderous, and he is the most corrupt and cruel minister in the country.
The murder case from the past two days is still being handled in the mansion. If it is discovered by the King of Hell who is in charge of patrolling and arresting people, what good will the Shen family have in store?
Lu Kui smiled slightly: "Is it possible?" But he turned to look at Ning'er, and his tone softened: "Although it is spring in the capital, it is inevitable to feel cold standing in the wind. The girl is weak, so you should go inside and rest."
Because of His Majesty, now in Shen Chongyao's mind, apart from his brother's life, the most important thing is Miss Ning's words and deeds.
He happened to be very experienced, and when he saw Lu Kui's behavior, his alarm bells immediately went off. When did he meet Miss Ning, and why did he look so eager?
Ning Er felt a little better now. She turned around and asked Xiang Ming, "Does the old lady not know about the Marquis's matter?"
Xiang Ming nodded with tears in her eyes: "First, Aunt Ye is here, and she also told us not to disturb her for the time being. I'm afraid the old lady can't hold on."
Aunt Ye? Ning Er felt something strange in her heart, but she couldn't figure out what it was.
She sighed, "In that case, I understand. It's useless to stay here anyway, I'll go to Song Shou Tang and report to the old lady first."
Xiang Ming stood up to see her off but was stopped by Ning'er. She glanced at the distraught Yan Ling. There were so many people around at the moment that it was difficult to explain in detail.
He only whispered, "Sister, don't blame Yan Ling. When it comes to loyalty to the Marquis, he is more sincere than anyone else. Although I don't know what he said to the Marquis, it must be something very important. Since we don't know, we shouldn't blame him wrongly."
Xiang Ming understood this truth, but she was confused and could not help but vent her anger on others. She just said, "Miss, I don't need to worry about it. Please help the old lady and don't let her come over now."
Ning Er nodded, she stood up and bowed, and said to Lu Kui and Shen Chongyao: "Thank you, Lord Lu, for your concern. Second Master, Ning Er will take her leave first."
Ning'er... Turns out her name is Ning'er.
Lu Kui chewed on the name in his mind and was stunned for a moment.
