Qingming was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to catch up with her, just when Su Peisheng turned his head and saw her, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's a coincidence, Master Wu just said that he is going to send someone to call you, hurry up Go in!"

Qingming was delayed by him in this way, and when he looked back, the woman wearing the hood had already gone far away, leaving only a trace of blue back, and the hem of the windbreaker swayed endlessly in the wind.

Qingming calmed down a bit, and quickly bowed to Su Peisheng. Su Peisheng accepted it. Qingming quickened her pace and walked towards the hall, just in time for a line of court ladies and eunuchs who were serving dishes to file in. She followed behind. No one was paying attention, and when he looked up, he saw Wu Ning sitting next to Li Gege, so Qingming quickly walked behind Wu Ning.

Wu Ning raised his head and said with a smile: "Come here?", but seeing her abnormal expression, he felt a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at her more, Qingming was afraid that people would see something strange, so he quickly lowered his head, inadvertently, he suddenly saw the princes At that table, one person was the noble young master who played the flute under the moonlit night after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet!

Qingming's heart was pounding, seeing him sitting next to the fourth elder brother, now he knew that he was the prince!Instinctively, he hid behind Wu Ning.

Thirteenth elder brother, as the birthday star, was being toasted one cup after another by the people around him, so naturally he didn't pay attention to Qingming, a little palace lady.

However, Wu Ning noticed Qingming's abnormality. She followed Qingming's eyes suspiciously and swept towards the table of the princes, just in time to meet the eighth elder brother's gaze.

The eighth elder brother stared at Wu Ning, with a gloomy look in his eyes, complex ingredients, bitterness, unwillingness, bitterness, and even... some kind of emotion?

Wu Ning's heart skipped a beat, and a cloud of suspicion slowly rose.

It can't be so bloody!Wu Ning thought silently in his heart...

The plots of various romance novels appeared in her mind: the hero and heroine fell in love at first sight, the two fell in love with each other, and the fate was helpless;Met with the old love by chance, staring at each other, speechless...

Wu Ning's face was full of black lines, thinking of what the fourth elder brother said, "You used to be too cold-tempered", etc., he vaguely sensed something in his heart, only felt that all kinds of doubts were scattered like pearls scattered all over the ground, and now he was caught by a silk thread in an orderly manner. Stringed together, the outline becomes clearer.

Someone coughed softly near her ear, Wu Ning's body shook, and she suddenly came back to her senses, seeing that Zhuqi carefully served her a bowl of crab roe and tofu soup, and then gave her a carved silver spoon and said: "Master, be careful not to scald it!" . " As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Wu Ning with a bit of vigilance.

As soon as Wu Ning was reminded by her, he raised his eyes, and saw Fujin looking at him quietly across the table. He didn't know how long he had been watching.

Wu Ning took the spoon, scooped a spoon in the tofu soup silently, thinking about something in his heart, unaware that the tofu soup had been messed up by his own spoon, Li Gege pulled Wu Ning's sleeve and said: " Sister Wu, that’s not how you eat.” Wu Ning came back to his senses, and quickly put a bite into his mouth.

The crab roe is plump and full of fragrance. Wu Ning covered his mouth with a handkerchief and blew lightly a few times. If you know what happened in the past, let's start with her!

After the banquet, all the people dispersed, there was a bustling traffic in front of the door, and the noise was endless, everyone finally took a rest, the mansion was silent, only there was a light in Wugege's yard, and the light flickered , and someone picked out the wick again, making the light even stronger.

Wu Ning sent everyone away on purpose, leaving only Zhuqi alone.

"Pearl Chess."

"Yes, master."

"As I said, after I recovered from the serious illness a while ago, my mind was in chaos, and I couldn't remember many things in the past.".

"Master, you are exhausting yourself, you should rest more and nourish your heart...".

Wu Ning suddenly interrupted Zhuqi's words, and said in a cold voice: "How did Eighth Brother treat you in the past?".

This question was inexplicable and sudden, Wu Ning thought in his heart: I'm just cheating you!

After hearing this, Zhuqi raised her head suddenly, her face turned pale with fright.

She was stunned for a while, then knelt down in panic, put her forehead on the carpet, and solemnly kowtowed three times before she lifted herself up, her face no longer as relaxed as usual, and she just said slowly: "Slave!" Boldly, I implore 'Miss', never say such things again in the future! Never mention this again!".

When Wu Ning heard her address herself from "Master" to "Miss", it was obvious that she had returned to the old ladylike days - the days when Wu was not married and was in her mother's house.

Seeing that Zhuqi's reaction was so strong when he heard that he mentioned the eighth elder brother, he confirmed his guess: the former "Wu Gege" and the eighth elder brother must have known each other before!And it's not just as simple as "knowing".

There may be a story behind it.

Wu Ning felt that he vaguely saw the huge iceberg under the sea.

No wonder the former "Wu Gege" was so indifferent to the fourth elder brother when he entered the mansion!No wonder others tried their best to please the fourth elder brother, but "Wu Gege" lived alone and didn't care about the worldly affairs!No wonder the powder box and rouge box are dusty!No wonder the clothes are all dull and tight!

Wu Ning thought of the tragic end of the "Eight Sage Kings" in the later period after they failed to seize the heir, and for a moment he didn't know what it was like.

The prince of the clan was demoted to the king of the people, and his residence was cut off, and then the prince was dismissed, imprisoned in a high wall, and his name was changed to "Aqina". Finally, he suffered from vomiting and did not eat or drink. , died in prison!

Wu Ning came back from his wandering thoughts, looked at Zhuqi who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "Get up!".

Zhuqi got up obediently, and suddenly fell down on his knees with a plop: "Master! I beg you! Please don't repeat what you said just now. Master, you have to... swallow it for the rest of your life! Otherwise, you, master, And the life of my wife..."

When she said this, she was choked with sobs and couldn't continue. Two big tears filled her eyes, and suddenly one drop rolled down and fell straight on the collar of the flag dress, breaking into several petals. .

Wu Ning nodded slowly, and said: "I see, your master is not such an insignificant person, haven't you counted yet? Get up, it's cold on the ground." Seeing that Zhuqi's face was already smudged, So he took a veil from his chest and went forward to wipe it off for her.

Zhuqi was flattered, and quickly took the handkerchief and said: "The servant wipes it by himself, don't dirty the master's hands." Wu Ning stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull her to sit on the edge of the bed, Zhuqi hurriedly said: "The servant dare not .”

Wu Ning strengthened his hands slightly and said: "Don't treat me as Wu Gege, just treat me as your young lady.".

A hint of warmth flashed in Zhuqi's eyes, but he still didn't dare to sit down, hesitated for a while, then sat down on the low couch at the end of the bed, looking up at Wu Ning.

Wu Ning didn't force her, got up and blew out the lamp, slowly groped back to the bed by the cold moonlight outside the window, sat down, and said: "The night is long, tell me the story of the past !”.

Zhuqi's head was almost lowered to her chest, and her voice was close to a whisper. Wu Ning held his breath and concentrated before hearing her say: "Master, you really don't remember? In the past, you and Eighth Brother... have known each other for a long time. Master and Madam actually I also know it. I heard that the eighth elder brother specially asked the empress in the palace to marry the master, but... ".

Wu Ning said in a low voice: "It's a mistake, but I was pointed at the fourth master's house, is it?".

Zhuqi said in a low voice: "The slave doesn't know what happened in the middle. In short, the master was finally accused to the master. After hearing the news, the master fainted at the time, and then fell ill for a full month. She has been raised well, but these years, her body has always been weak..." After speaking, Zhuqi turned her head and wiped away her tears again.

Wu Ning was silent for a while, and said: "So, when I first entered the mansion, I was very indifferent to Fourth Master, is this the reason?".

Zhuqi nodded and said: "This slave is clumsy and can't speak, but he still has eyes for people. The slave feels that the fourth master has always liked the master very much, but the master is so indifferent to the fourth master. It's fleshy, and the master has been looking at the fourth master coldly, can the master not feel chilled?".

Wu Ning stared at the darkness in front of him, and slowly said: "So, gradually, Master will not come to Wu Ge Ge's residence.".

Zhuqi nodded, and then realized that in the dark, Wu Ning might not be able to see, so he responded with a little more joy in his voice: "Fortunately, the master returned to her mother's house due to a serious illness. After returning, the whole person seems to want to If you open it, you will also take the initiative to go to the front of the fourth master, the slave is watching now, the fourth master is running to the master more frequently, and the slave is also happy for the master!".

Wu Ning murmured: "Think about it...".

Zhuqi sniffled, and said with a smile: "Master, if you work harder, like Song Gege, you can also give me a child. Even if your position is stable in this lifetime, even Fujin can't do anything to master..." .

Wu Ning listened absently, the matter of having a baby was still too far away for her.

What she wants to know right now is more detailed inside information.

Wu Ning interrupted Zhuqi's beautiful vision of the future, and said categorically: "Tell me about the matter between me and Eighth Brother in more detail, and start from the beginning.".

Zhuqi changed color: "Master...".

Wu Ning knew what she wanted to say, and raised his hand to stop her: "Listen to me, some people are just so stubborn, they have a knot in their hearts, and they will always be entangled in the same place until it is opened, so let me see it clearly After thoroughly understanding this matter, look to the future with a determined heart, and plan for the future. Everything in the past, such as death yesterday, and everything in the future, such as life today."

The phrase "Look to the future and plan for the future." moved Zhuqi, she raised her eyes to look at Wu Ning, Wu Ning held her hand, and said almost coaxingly: "Say it! After tonight, everything Gone without a trace."
