[Red Mansion Qing Chuan] Lin Siye Marries a Daughter
Chapter 109 Charges
Besides, Yi Ning walked out of the ancestral hall in one breath, kicking up a stone under his feet in resentment, "A dog bit Lu Dongbin. He doesn't know good people. He seems to come to help you with good intentions. If you still look down on me, you should be smothered to death."
"Yining, who made you angry, why do you want to curse him to death." A voice said in an unhurried manner: "Speak out, maybe Third Cousin can help you."
Yi Ning raised his head and looked at Ning Ze in front of him, and hurriedly said: "The third cousin is you, I was just talking angrily, it's fine." For some reason, although Yi Ning was almost as domineering as a princess in the palace, But there is a kind of awe towards Ning Ze, every time I see Ning Ze, I always feel that there is a kind of chilling light in his eyes.
Ning Ze seems to be very interested today: "Why, it's Yifeng who made you angry." Yining muttered dejectedly, "He doesn't even care about it now. I just want to be angry, and I have nowhere to do it."
Ning Ze's slender eyes narrowed: "Yesterday I met Yifeng and his concubine. They talked and sang together. To be honest, they are really a good match. No wonder Yifeng was so happy when he gave the marriage. , Even Princess Yueyang last time, I didn't see him so happy, Yining, you still remember Princess Yueyang, right?"
Yining nodded: "Of course I remember, we used to play together often, but she is an unlucky person." Yining said with certainty.
Ning Ze's expression was strange, and his eyes were sharp: "Yining, why would you say that, do you still know what others don't?"
Even if Yining usually does not dare to look at Ning Ze, let alone at this time, turning his head, Yining said perfunctorily: "Third cousin, I don't know anything, I was just talking nonsense just now, Princess Yueyang is not sick Yes, that's why I said she was unlucky, if she married fourth cousin at that time, it would be no one else's business."
"It seems that you want to fight the injustice for her, Yining, the third cousin didn't see it before, so you still have such thoughts." Ning Ze's tone was neither yin nor yang, but it made Yining feel a little scared, not waiting for Ning Ze Besides, Yining hurriedly said: "Third Cousin, I have been away for a long time, and I have to go back." After speaking, without looking at Ning Ze's expression, Yining hurriedly left with his head down.
Ning Ze stood there silently behind him, his originally gloomy face became more cloudy and uncertain: "Xiao He, did you hear what she said that day?"
A skinny eunuch came out from behind the tree: "Go back to your lord, Princess Yi only said that there was someone about Princess Yueyang last year..."
"Okay, this king knows, you can go back."
"Yes, that slave will leave." After Xiao He had walked a few steps, Ning Ze said behind him again: "You keep this matter a secret, if you leak a little bit of information, you must know the methods of this king. If you die at the third watch, no one dares to keep you till the fifth watch."
"Yes, the slave understands."
Ning Ze was the only one left on the stone path, turned around, Ning Ze did not leave immediately, but slowly turned his gaze to the fork in the road that Yining had just left, a ruthless light flashed in his slender eyes.
The small pavilion is hidden in the emerald green bamboo rockery. When you turn the stone path, you can see the exquisite Zhuting in front of you, with the gurgling springs, which means "another village with dark willows and bright flowers". What makes Daiyu and Zicuckoo amazing is not the unique scenery , but there are people in the pavilion at this time, and they are the two people Daiyu doesn't want to see the most.
Ning Chu was leaning on the porch pillar, and seemed to be leisurely playing with the cup in his hand. Perhaps it was because of the Empress Dowager's birthday, Ning Chu wore a golden robe today, matching his elegant face flushed from drinking, Added a bit of elegance.
And the person in front of Ning Chu, with his back to Daiyu, seemed to be talking to Ning Chu in a low voice, with her hair lightly pulled up, and her palace attire that looked like a concubine Yang made her look extraordinarily coquettish. The look, the eyes are flowing, soft to the extreme, charming to the extreme.
Seeing Daiyu, Ning Chu smiled slightly, with a brilliance on his elegant face: "I just wanted Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here. If Concubine Wan is still not reconciled, you can ask the princess. Two words."
Beckoning to Daiyu, Ning Chu was still not in a hurry: "It's really time for the princess to come, I thought you wouldn't be able to come for a while, I made Concubine Wan wait impatiently, people must ask for courtesy, since Come, then this matter will not stand idly by, otherwise..."
After a pause, Ning Chu looked at Daiyu quietly with his handsome eyes, and said, "Isn't it just a waste of time?"
Li Wanmei turned around, and looked at Daiyu with her beautiful almond eyes, as if she still hated herself: "Miss Lin, in fact, you should be the one who hides everything. You can find it in a place as big as the imperial palace."
"There are some things that people don't want to know unless they do nothing about it. Could it be that here Wan Concubine comes, and the prince comes, but Daiyu can't come, not to mention that the prince is worried about talking with your concubine, if lonely men and widows are seen by someone who cares Don't misunderstand, it also hurt your concubine's reputation, so let Daiyu come and have a look." Stepping up the steps without hesitation, Daiyu came up and bowed first: "Daiyu has seen the prince and my concubine Wan."
Ning Chu still stood there, smiling and said: "Princess, you are welcome, we are all from our own family, just now Concubine Wan wanted me to help, but this matter was very embarrassing for me, so I was hesitant, I don't want Concubine Wan to be a little bit I was impatient, and said that if I didn't help, it would be a big deal, but fortunately, you came, and you must see your old friend, and Concubine Wan might calm down." With a few words, Ning Chu made Daiyu understand the situation in front of her.
Li Wanmei didn't make a sound, just stared at Ning Chu, with some resentment in the corners of her slightly raised eyes: "What Wanmei said just now was very clear, my lord..."
"My lord, my lord Chu seems to be over there." Before Concubine Wan finished speaking, she heard a voice coming from there, and then the footsteps were getting closer and closer, it seemed that there was more than one person.
Thinking of the noisy footsteps that she heard just now, Daiyu glanced past Li Wanmei and looked at Ning Chu. Ning Chu's eyes were like a lake. Similar in age, lonely man and widow together, if it is said that there is no personal relationship, no one will believe it.
Only then did Daiyu understand the meaning of what Ning Chu said when she asked him for help just now. It turns out that this time he was also plotted against.
Every year on the queen mother's birthday, Ning Chu would drink at this place. It has been like this for ten years. Even Ning Dong, who followed Ning Chu all day, didn't know the reason, but Ning Chu is a cautious person. The servant and Ning Dong, no one knows.
Today, like in previous years, Ning Chu was alone, leaning on the porch pillar, quietly looking at the crimson palaces not far away, like pearls embedded in the snow, shining brightly, and under the red walls and golden tiles , the exposed glazed tile roofs are like golden islands.
Sighing softly, Ning Chu remembered the day in his previous life, when an imperial decree was announced to the world, and he was reduced from a prince to a chaotic party, until...
The wine entered his throat, spicy and bitter. Ning Chu couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. will do so.
Fortunately, God has eyes, let me live a new life, and I was born in this bloody and mysterious royal family, the same life experience, the same identity, but there is only one person who can be compared to the opponent in this life, and there is no one in the previous life. The fulfilled long-cherished wish will never be missed again in this life.
Raising the cup, Ning Chu respected the sky from a distance, and his heart was filled with the pride of "Ninety Thousand Miles of Fengpeng".
The sound of rustling footsteps made the cautious Ning Chu not even think about it. He turned his head suddenly, and saw Li Guan standing there with her eyebrows curled up, looking at her with soft eyes.
Standing up, Ning Chu said calmly: "It turned out to be Concubine Wan. I thought it was some court lady who didn't understand etiquette running around at noon."
Li Wanmei is not stupid, how could she fail to hear the teasing in Ning Chu's words, but she still said in a low voice: "Wanmei came here specially to see the prince."
"Oh" Ning Chu looked up and felt that today's wine was a bit too much. His head suddenly felt a little heavy when he was sober, and his whole body was weak: "I see, but did Concubine Wan forget the rules? Meeting the prince is not just talking about such a joke."
Li Wanmei lowered her head slightly: "Wan Mei knows, but now the situation is urgent, Wan Mei has no choice but to come." Ning Chu knew the reason and asked: "I don't know if Wan Concubine has anything to ask the king."
Li Guanmei raised his head: "I believe that with the shrewdness of the lord, he must know what Wan Mei said. Wan Mei just wanted to ask the lord, the matter of my father was ordered by the lord."
Ning Chu coughed, stroked his drowsy head, and leaned on the porch pillar: "I'm afraid I have found the wrong person for Concubine Wan's case. The Ministry of Criminal Justice seized the person, and the Ministry of Households ransacked the house. This king has nothing to do with it."
"Does the prince forget things too much? Wanmei remembers that so many princes were able to suppress so many sons back then, but now it's just a few minor things that put my father in prison and ordered the Qing government to search the house."
Ning Chu nodded: "That's right, there is nothing the king can do now and then, but if Concubine Wan goes to ask the emperor, maybe..." Knowing that the emperor is furious, Ning Chu still said indifferently: "This Wang can only talk too much, as for how to do it, I believe Concubine Wan must understand."
"My lord." Li Wanmei looked at Ning Chu quietly, with an indescribable expression in his eyes: "The mantis catching cicadas and the oriole are behind, Wanmei's entry into the palace, and my father's entry into the capital are probably all done by the lord for a certain person." In fact, the real intention of the lord was to throw out the brick of my father, but it was Lin Jiayu who attracted him..."
Without going on, Li Wan lowered his eyebrows and looked down, and the enchanting butterfly wings covered the thoughts in his eyes: "Unexpectedly, everyone thinks that Prince Chu is calm and ruthless, but he is an infatuated person. For that person, it can be said that he has worked hard. Now the prince The goal has been achieved, do you plan to cross the river and demolish the bridge?"
Ning Chu frowned, not wanting to get entangled with Li Wanmei, not wanting to take weak steps just now, if not for Ning Chu's quick reaction, he almost fell over, but Ning Chu just paused, and still leaned on the corridor pillar calmly: "How could Concubine Wan think that way? No matter how ruthless this king is, she will not break his promise. Concubine Wan must not know that this matter was ordered by the emperor himself. Anyone who dares to show affection will be guilty of the same crime as him. I really can't do anything about it, but for the sake of our friendship for many years, I should be able to say a few nice words when the time is right."
Li Wanmei glanced at Ning Chu, the expression in her eyes was unpredictable, she suddenly raised her head, avoiding Ning Chu's gaze, and said in a low voice: "My lord is a smart man, I don't know what Wanmei's thoughts are, when I entered the palace, Wanmei used to be very grateful for the appreciation of the prince, but it wasn't until Miss Lin came to Beijing that Wanmei realized that the prince was just using our Li family..."
Turning his head, Li Wanmei looked coldly: "Now that my father is in prison, Wanmei will probably fall out of favor in the palace soon, and it may be possible to be sent to the cold palace. All this is thanks to the prince."
"My lord, what do you think Wanmei should do." Li Wanmei took two steps forward slowly, and was very close to Ning Chu: "Wanmei is a paranoid person, if the lord is really ruthless, then Wanmei will I had no choice but to accompany the lord to the death. Anyway, there is no place for Wanmei to stand in this palace. It is not in vain to be able to leave a "good story" with the lord in the palace before dying. As for the person the lord is thinking of, I can only keep the lonely lamp alone, and chant Buddhist scriptures for the prince all my life, hehe, she can never get the person I can't get."
"You want to threaten me." Ning Chu seemed to be as calm as usual: "There are few people here. Even if Concubine Wan wants to be misunderstood, there must be someone who is wrong. Besides, only fools do things that hurt others. My concubine is a smart person, how could she be so confused, and only if the king is safe, the Li family will have a chance to turn around, if..."
Rubbing his still drowsy head, Ning Chu was afraid that he would not be able to hold on, so he frowned, raised his wide sleeve, and stabbed the thumb of his right hand with the thin needle hidden in his finger, the sharp pain made Ning Chu Ning Chu couldn't help squinting his eyes, but the momentary clarity of his head made Ning Chu heave a sigh of relief.
"It was Dong Qi who told you that I was here." Ning Chu was indifferent, with no expression on his beautiful face: "You and Dong Qi did the matter of Kun Ning Palace together, Yining pretended to be smart." , was used by you for nothing."
Li Wanmei sneered coldly: "It is said that Prince Chu is deeply scheming and shrewd, but he must have never expected to be tricked by the people closest to him, and it happened more than once."
Ning Chu sighed pretending to be sad: "I really haven't thought about it. Under the power, no one will be indifferent. It seems that I still underestimated him."
Li Guan's brows turned around: "Since the lord has already known the truth, it is not a gentleman to take revenge if you have a grudge, Wan Mei still said the same thing. If the lord really stands by, Wan Mei will be with the lord... the lord is being played in the hands of others." I'm afraid I won't be able to take revenge, so Wanmei..."
Li Guanmei leaned forward, stared at Ning Chu, and said in a low voice: "Please think twice, my lord."
Just at this moment, Daiyu rushed over boldly.
But now hearing the voice over there, Li Wanmei's expression couldn't be better, she glanced at Ning Chu in disbelief, and murmured: "How could this be?"
In fact, Li Wanmei came to Ning Chu this time with the intention of asking Ning Chu for help, and did not really plan to break up with Ning Chu as she said in the words. Those few words were just threats in a guilty conscience. Temperament is not the kind of person who would give up so easily, but what Li Wanmei didn't expect was that someone actually came to catch the adulterer. It seemed that they didn't stop until they had achieved their goal, and more than one person came.
Thinking of coming here this time, there is only one person who knows...
Ning Chu smiled coldly: "It's useless for you to claim to be smart on weekdays. This is the real 'mantis catching cicadas and orioles behind'. You have also been tricked by him. Don't you understand that we are on the same boat now, Wan Wan?" It's better to be acquainted with my concubine."
A group of people rushed out from the bamboo grove. Ning Ze was wearing the same robe as Ning Chu, and his thin face still had that expressionless expression: "Unexpectedly, the fourth brother secretly drinks here..."
After glancing at Daiyu and Li Wanmei, Ning Ze continued, "Secret meeting with beautiful women, the fourth brother is really a blessing." Ning Chu didn't panic, and smiled lightly: "It seems that there is really no such thing as an impenetrable woman in this world." Yifeng wanted to come over and have something to say to the princess, but he didn't expect to meet so many people, it's enough for a concubine Wan to meet him, but even the third brother was alarmed."
Ning Ze smiled and said, "Yifeng, I never thought you would be so impatient, you wanted someone right after you got married." Ning Chu naturally understood the implication of Ning Ze's words, and said unabashedly: "Yes, Chu Palace Having not had a heroine for many years, Yifeng also wants to relax earlier."
Hehe smiled, Ning Ze glanced over Daiyu, and landed on Li Wanmei: "Concubine Wan, this is..." Li Wanmei was naturally familiar with acting: "I was going to the Empress Dowager to see Miss Lin from a distance, The prince also knew that Miss Lin and I were old friends, so he wanted to say hello to go together, but unexpectedly..."
Looking at Ning Chu and Daiyu, Li Wan raised his eyebrows and said: "When we were in Yangzhou, everyone knew each other well, so we talked about the past with Prince Chu and Miss Lin. I didn't expect that Prince Jin also came. It seems that this pavilion is still there. It is really a veritable 'Juying Pavilion'."
Daiyu also said at the side: "Since the two lords have something to say, let's go first." Smiling and nodding to Li Wanmei, the expressions on each other were as natural as before: "Please, my concubine."
Li Wanmei also smiled: "Miss Lin, let's go." Ning Chu said seriously: "Princess, this matter is not trivial, don't forget."
Nodding her head, Daiyu said firmly, "Don't worry, my lord, I will remember."
Ever since he came in, Ning Chu had been leaning there without moving a single step. Although the expression on his face was calm as usual, the attentive Daiyu still noticed something strange. Ning Chu still had prejudices about what happened last time, but deep down in her heart, Daiyu still didn’t feel worried. Although Ning Chu didn’t say anything just now, Daiyu knew that Ning Chu might want to call the attendants around him. Come.
Before Daiyu and Li Wanmei walked out of the pavilion, they heard a surprised voice: "Hey, why is it so lively here?" Then Ning Dong ran over excitedly: "I only went to the toilet for a while, and when I came back, I found that everyone was gone. It turns out that you are all hiding here drinking."
Seeing Daiyu, Ning Dong looked a little stunned, but soon recovered his smile: "It turns out that Miss Lin is also here, Fourth Brother is really a blessing."
Ning Chu said with a faint smile: "Wangfei heard that you were sick, and was very worried. Although I told her that you were already cured, Wangfei was still worried. Fourth brother knew that you would definitely come to see me today, so I let you Wangfei sees you in person, so I can rest assured."
Turning his head, Ning Chu said to Daiyu: "Look at what I said, Dong Qi is alive and kicking now, and she doesn't look a little sick." Daiyu smiled slightly: "Daiyu is very happy to see that His Highness Qi is fine. .”
"Your Highness Seventh, you should be called Seventh Brother." Ning Chu still smiled leisurely, as if he was still the friendly elder brother: "You are my princess now, isn't it strange to be called Your Highness, so that people who don't know may think Dong Qi and I are at odds."
"Who in the palace doesn't know that you two are Jiaobuli Meng, Meng Bulijiao." Ning Ze said indifferently: "If the two of you are not on good terms, it is true that the sun is coming from the west."
Ning Chu smiled and said: "What the third brother said is that I remember that when I was young, Dong Qi couldn't keep up when we played together because he was fat. so we're always the last ones to go."
Looking at Ning Dong, Ning Chu's eyes were still glamorous: "Dong Qi, isn't it?" Before Ning Dong could answer, Daiyu said, "I remember when I first met Seventh Brother, Because of the lord, he splashed water on my body on purpose, and said, "Treat me with the same way."
From Yining's words just now, Daiyu already knew that Ning Dong was by no means as innocent as she appeared on the surface, and what Ning Chu said to Li Wanmei just now made the careful Daiyu understand that Ning Chu and Li Wanmei may be the two of them in today's matter. She was plotted against by Ning Dong, and although she was brooding over some things about Ning Chu, Daiyu was not a fool, and stood firmly by Ning Chu's side in the face of danger.
The two sang and chorused, talking about the past, which made Ning Dong's originally flushed face a little more self-evident embarrassment, but what Ning Chu and Daiyu didn't expect was that Ning Dong was only a moment , and then regained his usual liveliness, sophistication and ease, even Ning Chu, who has been a human being for two generations, couldn't help but startled: "The fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law are really a perfect match, and they said it as if I was going to be ungrateful. I have secretly hidden the iced red bayberry that came to the fourth brother, and made the third brother laugh at me."
Ning Ze said: "Yifeng, this is your fault. Indeed, just now everyone was chatting happily, and the queen mother sent someone to send iced red bayberries. There are not many red bayberries in this season. It's rare that Lao Qi is thinking of you, so I have to give it to you." You kept a few, and seeing that you didn't come back for a while, I came out and looked around, if we didn't come out to look for him, we still wouldn't be able to meet you."
Ning Chu smiled and said: "It seems that today is Yifeng, who has become a person who values sex and despises friends. I only know that there are a few things I want to tell the princess, which disturbs the interest of the brothers. How about this, tonight Feng set up a banquet at the Chu Palace, as an apology for everyone, if you don't come, then you will look down on this brother."
Nodding to Ning Dong, Ning Chu continued: "Dong Qi, the fourth brother will leave this matter to you. If there is one missing in Chu Palace tonight, the fourth brother will ask you."
Ning Dong is also doing well, and smiled nonchalantly: "Fourth brother, don't worry, I may not be able to do anything else, but if you invite someone to drink, there is absolutely no problem." Looking at Li Wan's eyebrows, Ning Dong smiled and pretended to be teasing: "As the saying goes, whoever sees you has a share. I don't know if the fourth brother personally invites the concubine here, or if I invite it."
"As the saying goes, you have to tie the bell to untie it. Your concubine is with me. If the prince really wants to invite you, it must be Daiyu." Daiyu smiled and glanced at Ning Chu: "What did the prince say?" .”
Ning Chu looked at each other knowingly and smiled. From the eyes of everyone, the two of them looked like married couples long ago: "The princess is right, but the princess is not ignorant of the temper of the seventh younger brother. She likes to talk and joke on weekdays. Your concubine, wait until after you get married, and you will be invited by the princess."
"Fourth brother is really convincing. The name of this modest gentleman is worthy of the name. I thought I was delusional just now." The fifth prince looked like a thin and shy young man, but he didn't speak like him at all. Appearance: "Sisister-in-law hasn't entered the door yet, so I'll give this right up first. If we brothers go to drink at Sige's house in the future, do we need Sisister-in-law to nod?"
"Fifth brother's words are out of the question. We are all one family. Whether I'm here or not, you can drink all the good wine in the mansion. I believe the princess will never stop me." Ning Chu smiled as before, and couldn't see it at all. There is a trace of strangeness.
Knowing that this place is already a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, and knowing that being here is not only useless, but also that if she is not careful, she will become Ning Chu's weakness, so Daiyu glanced at Li Wan's eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Your concubine, let's go. "
Li Wanmei nodded, glanced at Ning Chu and Ning Dong, and said, "I'm afraid we have disturbed the interest of your highness here, Miss Lin, let's go, don't let people say that we have no winks."
Because the stone path is a bit narrow, Daiyu naturally walked behind, while Ning Dong still had the same smile: "Your concubine, fourth sister-in-law, go slowly."
After walking a few steps, Li Wanmei suddenly stopped, looked back at Ning Dong and said, "Your Highness, look at me, I almost forgot, I just saw Princess Yining, she seems to have something urgent to ask you, and said that if I touch When I see you, I will tell you that she is waiting for you at the Queen Mother's place, and I want you to go there. Princess Yi also said that if you don't go, she will..."
Deliberately not going on, Li Wanmei smiled faintly: "Although she didn't say what she was going to do, but she looked like that, but her face was full of displeasure." Ning Dong pretended not to care and said with a smile: "Yining likes to bluff, she must It's Naji's idea again."
Ning Chu, who was still standing there, said meaningfully: "Seventh brother, you should go over and have a look. Have you forgotten what fourth brother often said?"
Ning Dong said: "Women can't afford to offend, especially smart women." His gaze flashed past Daiyu's back inadvertently, and Ning Dong smiled meaningfully: "The fourth brother is right, it's no wonder that the fourth brother even kills me now. Don't tell me, just come here alone, well, I'll go and see what tricks they are playing."
Deliberately not going on, Li Wanmei smiled faintly: "Although she didn't say what she was going to do, but she looked like that, but her face was full of displeasure." Ning Dong pretended not to care and said with a smile: "Yining likes to bluff, she must It's Naji's idea again."
Ning Chu, who was still standing there, said meaningfully: "Seventh brother, you should go over and have a look. Have you forgotten what fourth brother often said?"
Ning Dong said: "Women can't afford to offend, especially smart women." His gaze flashed past Daiyu's back inadvertently, and Ning Dong smiled meaningfully: "Fourth brother is right, it's no wonder that fourth brother is even with me now. Don't tell me, just come here alone, well, I'll go and see what tricks they play. I'll go and see them"
"Yining, who made you angry, why do you want to curse him to death." A voice said in an unhurried manner: "Speak out, maybe Third Cousin can help you."
Yi Ning raised his head and looked at Ning Ze in front of him, and hurriedly said: "The third cousin is you, I was just talking angrily, it's fine." For some reason, although Yi Ning was almost as domineering as a princess in the palace, But there is a kind of awe towards Ning Ze, every time I see Ning Ze, I always feel that there is a kind of chilling light in his eyes.
Ning Ze seems to be very interested today: "Why, it's Yifeng who made you angry." Yining muttered dejectedly, "He doesn't even care about it now. I just want to be angry, and I have nowhere to do it."
Ning Ze's slender eyes narrowed: "Yesterday I met Yifeng and his concubine. They talked and sang together. To be honest, they are really a good match. No wonder Yifeng was so happy when he gave the marriage. , Even Princess Yueyang last time, I didn't see him so happy, Yining, you still remember Princess Yueyang, right?"
Yining nodded: "Of course I remember, we used to play together often, but she is an unlucky person." Yining said with certainty.
Ning Ze's expression was strange, and his eyes were sharp: "Yining, why would you say that, do you still know what others don't?"
Even if Yining usually does not dare to look at Ning Ze, let alone at this time, turning his head, Yining said perfunctorily: "Third cousin, I don't know anything, I was just talking nonsense just now, Princess Yueyang is not sick Yes, that's why I said she was unlucky, if she married fourth cousin at that time, it would be no one else's business."
"It seems that you want to fight the injustice for her, Yining, the third cousin didn't see it before, so you still have such thoughts." Ning Ze's tone was neither yin nor yang, but it made Yining feel a little scared, not waiting for Ning Ze Besides, Yining hurriedly said: "Third Cousin, I have been away for a long time, and I have to go back." After speaking, without looking at Ning Ze's expression, Yining hurriedly left with his head down.
Ning Ze stood there silently behind him, his originally gloomy face became more cloudy and uncertain: "Xiao He, did you hear what she said that day?"
A skinny eunuch came out from behind the tree: "Go back to your lord, Princess Yi only said that there was someone about Princess Yueyang last year..."
"Okay, this king knows, you can go back."
"Yes, that slave will leave." After Xiao He had walked a few steps, Ning Ze said behind him again: "You keep this matter a secret, if you leak a little bit of information, you must know the methods of this king. If you die at the third watch, no one dares to keep you till the fifth watch."
"Yes, the slave understands."
Ning Ze was the only one left on the stone path, turned around, Ning Ze did not leave immediately, but slowly turned his gaze to the fork in the road that Yining had just left, a ruthless light flashed in his slender eyes.
The small pavilion is hidden in the emerald green bamboo rockery. When you turn the stone path, you can see the exquisite Zhuting in front of you, with the gurgling springs, which means "another village with dark willows and bright flowers". What makes Daiyu and Zicuckoo amazing is not the unique scenery , but there are people in the pavilion at this time, and they are the two people Daiyu doesn't want to see the most.
Ning Chu was leaning on the porch pillar, and seemed to be leisurely playing with the cup in his hand. Perhaps it was because of the Empress Dowager's birthday, Ning Chu wore a golden robe today, matching his elegant face flushed from drinking, Added a bit of elegance.
And the person in front of Ning Chu, with his back to Daiyu, seemed to be talking to Ning Chu in a low voice, with her hair lightly pulled up, and her palace attire that looked like a concubine Yang made her look extraordinarily coquettish. The look, the eyes are flowing, soft to the extreme, charming to the extreme.
Seeing Daiyu, Ning Chu smiled slightly, with a brilliance on his elegant face: "I just wanted Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here. If Concubine Wan is still not reconciled, you can ask the princess. Two words."
Beckoning to Daiyu, Ning Chu was still not in a hurry: "It's really time for the princess to come, I thought you wouldn't be able to come for a while, I made Concubine Wan wait impatiently, people must ask for courtesy, since Come, then this matter will not stand idly by, otherwise..."
After a pause, Ning Chu looked at Daiyu quietly with his handsome eyes, and said, "Isn't it just a waste of time?"
Li Wanmei turned around, and looked at Daiyu with her beautiful almond eyes, as if she still hated herself: "Miss Lin, in fact, you should be the one who hides everything. You can find it in a place as big as the imperial palace."
"There are some things that people don't want to know unless they do nothing about it. Could it be that here Wan Concubine comes, and the prince comes, but Daiyu can't come, not to mention that the prince is worried about talking with your concubine, if lonely men and widows are seen by someone who cares Don't misunderstand, it also hurt your concubine's reputation, so let Daiyu come and have a look." Stepping up the steps without hesitation, Daiyu came up and bowed first: "Daiyu has seen the prince and my concubine Wan."
Ning Chu still stood there, smiling and said: "Princess, you are welcome, we are all from our own family, just now Concubine Wan wanted me to help, but this matter was very embarrassing for me, so I was hesitant, I don't want Concubine Wan to be a little bit I was impatient, and said that if I didn't help, it would be a big deal, but fortunately, you came, and you must see your old friend, and Concubine Wan might calm down." With a few words, Ning Chu made Daiyu understand the situation in front of her.
Li Wanmei didn't make a sound, just stared at Ning Chu, with some resentment in the corners of her slightly raised eyes: "What Wanmei said just now was very clear, my lord..."
"My lord, my lord Chu seems to be over there." Before Concubine Wan finished speaking, she heard a voice coming from there, and then the footsteps were getting closer and closer, it seemed that there was more than one person.
Thinking of the noisy footsteps that she heard just now, Daiyu glanced past Li Wanmei and looked at Ning Chu. Ning Chu's eyes were like a lake. Similar in age, lonely man and widow together, if it is said that there is no personal relationship, no one will believe it.
Only then did Daiyu understand the meaning of what Ning Chu said when she asked him for help just now. It turns out that this time he was also plotted against.
Every year on the queen mother's birthday, Ning Chu would drink at this place. It has been like this for ten years. Even Ning Dong, who followed Ning Chu all day, didn't know the reason, but Ning Chu is a cautious person. The servant and Ning Dong, no one knows.
Today, like in previous years, Ning Chu was alone, leaning on the porch pillar, quietly looking at the crimson palaces not far away, like pearls embedded in the snow, shining brightly, and under the red walls and golden tiles , the exposed glazed tile roofs are like golden islands.
Sighing softly, Ning Chu remembered the day in his previous life, when an imperial decree was announced to the world, and he was reduced from a prince to a chaotic party, until...
The wine entered his throat, spicy and bitter. Ning Chu couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. will do so.
Fortunately, God has eyes, let me live a new life, and I was born in this bloody and mysterious royal family, the same life experience, the same identity, but there is only one person who can be compared to the opponent in this life, and there is no one in the previous life. The fulfilled long-cherished wish will never be missed again in this life.
Raising the cup, Ning Chu respected the sky from a distance, and his heart was filled with the pride of "Ninety Thousand Miles of Fengpeng".
The sound of rustling footsteps made the cautious Ning Chu not even think about it. He turned his head suddenly, and saw Li Guan standing there with her eyebrows curled up, looking at her with soft eyes.
Standing up, Ning Chu said calmly: "It turned out to be Concubine Wan. I thought it was some court lady who didn't understand etiquette running around at noon."
Li Wanmei is not stupid, how could she fail to hear the teasing in Ning Chu's words, but she still said in a low voice: "Wanmei came here specially to see the prince."
"Oh" Ning Chu looked up and felt that today's wine was a bit too much. His head suddenly felt a little heavy when he was sober, and his whole body was weak: "I see, but did Concubine Wan forget the rules? Meeting the prince is not just talking about such a joke."
Li Wanmei lowered her head slightly: "Wan Mei knows, but now the situation is urgent, Wan Mei has no choice but to come." Ning Chu knew the reason and asked: "I don't know if Wan Concubine has anything to ask the king."
Li Guanmei raised his head: "I believe that with the shrewdness of the lord, he must know what Wan Mei said. Wan Mei just wanted to ask the lord, the matter of my father was ordered by the lord."
Ning Chu coughed, stroked his drowsy head, and leaned on the porch pillar: "I'm afraid I have found the wrong person for Concubine Wan's case. The Ministry of Criminal Justice seized the person, and the Ministry of Households ransacked the house. This king has nothing to do with it."
"Does the prince forget things too much? Wanmei remembers that so many princes were able to suppress so many sons back then, but now it's just a few minor things that put my father in prison and ordered the Qing government to search the house."
Ning Chu nodded: "That's right, there is nothing the king can do now and then, but if Concubine Wan goes to ask the emperor, maybe..." Knowing that the emperor is furious, Ning Chu still said indifferently: "This Wang can only talk too much, as for how to do it, I believe Concubine Wan must understand."
"My lord." Li Wanmei looked at Ning Chu quietly, with an indescribable expression in his eyes: "The mantis catching cicadas and the oriole are behind, Wanmei's entry into the palace, and my father's entry into the capital are probably all done by the lord for a certain person." In fact, the real intention of the lord was to throw out the brick of my father, but it was Lin Jiayu who attracted him..."
Without going on, Li Wan lowered his eyebrows and looked down, and the enchanting butterfly wings covered the thoughts in his eyes: "Unexpectedly, everyone thinks that Prince Chu is calm and ruthless, but he is an infatuated person. For that person, it can be said that he has worked hard. Now the prince The goal has been achieved, do you plan to cross the river and demolish the bridge?"
Ning Chu frowned, not wanting to get entangled with Li Wanmei, not wanting to take weak steps just now, if not for Ning Chu's quick reaction, he almost fell over, but Ning Chu just paused, and still leaned on the corridor pillar calmly: "How could Concubine Wan think that way? No matter how ruthless this king is, she will not break his promise. Concubine Wan must not know that this matter was ordered by the emperor himself. Anyone who dares to show affection will be guilty of the same crime as him. I really can't do anything about it, but for the sake of our friendship for many years, I should be able to say a few nice words when the time is right."
Li Wanmei glanced at Ning Chu, the expression in her eyes was unpredictable, she suddenly raised her head, avoiding Ning Chu's gaze, and said in a low voice: "My lord is a smart man, I don't know what Wanmei's thoughts are, when I entered the palace, Wanmei used to be very grateful for the appreciation of the prince, but it wasn't until Miss Lin came to Beijing that Wanmei realized that the prince was just using our Li family..."
Turning his head, Li Wanmei looked coldly: "Now that my father is in prison, Wanmei will probably fall out of favor in the palace soon, and it may be possible to be sent to the cold palace. All this is thanks to the prince."
"My lord, what do you think Wanmei should do." Li Wanmei took two steps forward slowly, and was very close to Ning Chu: "Wanmei is a paranoid person, if the lord is really ruthless, then Wanmei will I had no choice but to accompany the lord to the death. Anyway, there is no place for Wanmei to stand in this palace. It is not in vain to be able to leave a "good story" with the lord in the palace before dying. As for the person the lord is thinking of, I can only keep the lonely lamp alone, and chant Buddhist scriptures for the prince all my life, hehe, she can never get the person I can't get."
"You want to threaten me." Ning Chu seemed to be as calm as usual: "There are few people here. Even if Concubine Wan wants to be misunderstood, there must be someone who is wrong. Besides, only fools do things that hurt others. My concubine is a smart person, how could she be so confused, and only if the king is safe, the Li family will have a chance to turn around, if..."
Rubbing his still drowsy head, Ning Chu was afraid that he would not be able to hold on, so he frowned, raised his wide sleeve, and stabbed the thumb of his right hand with the thin needle hidden in his finger, the sharp pain made Ning Chu Ning Chu couldn't help squinting his eyes, but the momentary clarity of his head made Ning Chu heave a sigh of relief.
"It was Dong Qi who told you that I was here." Ning Chu was indifferent, with no expression on his beautiful face: "You and Dong Qi did the matter of Kun Ning Palace together, Yining pretended to be smart." , was used by you for nothing."
Li Wanmei sneered coldly: "It is said that Prince Chu is deeply scheming and shrewd, but he must have never expected to be tricked by the people closest to him, and it happened more than once."
Ning Chu sighed pretending to be sad: "I really haven't thought about it. Under the power, no one will be indifferent. It seems that I still underestimated him."
Li Guan's brows turned around: "Since the lord has already known the truth, it is not a gentleman to take revenge if you have a grudge, Wan Mei still said the same thing. If the lord really stands by, Wan Mei will be with the lord... the lord is being played in the hands of others." I'm afraid I won't be able to take revenge, so Wanmei..."
Li Guanmei leaned forward, stared at Ning Chu, and said in a low voice: "Please think twice, my lord."
Just at this moment, Daiyu rushed over boldly.
But now hearing the voice over there, Li Wanmei's expression couldn't be better, she glanced at Ning Chu in disbelief, and murmured: "How could this be?"
In fact, Li Wanmei came to Ning Chu this time with the intention of asking Ning Chu for help, and did not really plan to break up with Ning Chu as she said in the words. Those few words were just threats in a guilty conscience. Temperament is not the kind of person who would give up so easily, but what Li Wanmei didn't expect was that someone actually came to catch the adulterer. It seemed that they didn't stop until they had achieved their goal, and more than one person came.
Thinking of coming here this time, there is only one person who knows...
Ning Chu smiled coldly: "It's useless for you to claim to be smart on weekdays. This is the real 'mantis catching cicadas and orioles behind'. You have also been tricked by him. Don't you understand that we are on the same boat now, Wan Wan?" It's better to be acquainted with my concubine."
A group of people rushed out from the bamboo grove. Ning Ze was wearing the same robe as Ning Chu, and his thin face still had that expressionless expression: "Unexpectedly, the fourth brother secretly drinks here..."
After glancing at Daiyu and Li Wanmei, Ning Ze continued, "Secret meeting with beautiful women, the fourth brother is really a blessing." Ning Chu didn't panic, and smiled lightly: "It seems that there is really no such thing as an impenetrable woman in this world." Yifeng wanted to come over and have something to say to the princess, but he didn't expect to meet so many people, it's enough for a concubine Wan to meet him, but even the third brother was alarmed."
Ning Ze smiled and said, "Yifeng, I never thought you would be so impatient, you wanted someone right after you got married." Ning Chu naturally understood the implication of Ning Ze's words, and said unabashedly: "Yes, Chu Palace Having not had a heroine for many years, Yifeng also wants to relax earlier."
Hehe smiled, Ning Ze glanced over Daiyu, and landed on Li Wanmei: "Concubine Wan, this is..." Li Wanmei was naturally familiar with acting: "I was going to the Empress Dowager to see Miss Lin from a distance, The prince also knew that Miss Lin and I were old friends, so he wanted to say hello to go together, but unexpectedly..."
Looking at Ning Chu and Daiyu, Li Wan raised his eyebrows and said: "When we were in Yangzhou, everyone knew each other well, so we talked about the past with Prince Chu and Miss Lin. I didn't expect that Prince Jin also came. It seems that this pavilion is still there. It is really a veritable 'Juying Pavilion'."
Daiyu also said at the side: "Since the two lords have something to say, let's go first." Smiling and nodding to Li Wanmei, the expressions on each other were as natural as before: "Please, my concubine."
Li Wanmei also smiled: "Miss Lin, let's go." Ning Chu said seriously: "Princess, this matter is not trivial, don't forget."
Nodding her head, Daiyu said firmly, "Don't worry, my lord, I will remember."
Ever since he came in, Ning Chu had been leaning there without moving a single step. Although the expression on his face was calm as usual, the attentive Daiyu still noticed something strange. Ning Chu still had prejudices about what happened last time, but deep down in her heart, Daiyu still didn’t feel worried. Although Ning Chu didn’t say anything just now, Daiyu knew that Ning Chu might want to call the attendants around him. Come.
Before Daiyu and Li Wanmei walked out of the pavilion, they heard a surprised voice: "Hey, why is it so lively here?" Then Ning Dong ran over excitedly: "I only went to the toilet for a while, and when I came back, I found that everyone was gone. It turns out that you are all hiding here drinking."
Seeing Daiyu, Ning Dong looked a little stunned, but soon recovered his smile: "It turns out that Miss Lin is also here, Fourth Brother is really a blessing."
Ning Chu said with a faint smile: "Wangfei heard that you were sick, and was very worried. Although I told her that you were already cured, Wangfei was still worried. Fourth brother knew that you would definitely come to see me today, so I let you Wangfei sees you in person, so I can rest assured."
Turning his head, Ning Chu said to Daiyu: "Look at what I said, Dong Qi is alive and kicking now, and she doesn't look a little sick." Daiyu smiled slightly: "Daiyu is very happy to see that His Highness Qi is fine. .”
"Your Highness Seventh, you should be called Seventh Brother." Ning Chu still smiled leisurely, as if he was still the friendly elder brother: "You are my princess now, isn't it strange to be called Your Highness, so that people who don't know may think Dong Qi and I are at odds."
"Who in the palace doesn't know that you two are Jiaobuli Meng, Meng Bulijiao." Ning Ze said indifferently: "If the two of you are not on good terms, it is true that the sun is coming from the west."
Ning Chu smiled and said: "What the third brother said is that I remember that when I was young, Dong Qi couldn't keep up when we played together because he was fat. so we're always the last ones to go."
Looking at Ning Dong, Ning Chu's eyes were still glamorous: "Dong Qi, isn't it?" Before Ning Dong could answer, Daiyu said, "I remember when I first met Seventh Brother, Because of the lord, he splashed water on my body on purpose, and said, "Treat me with the same way."
From Yining's words just now, Daiyu already knew that Ning Dong was by no means as innocent as she appeared on the surface, and what Ning Chu said to Li Wanmei just now made the careful Daiyu understand that Ning Chu and Li Wanmei may be the two of them in today's matter. She was plotted against by Ning Dong, and although she was brooding over some things about Ning Chu, Daiyu was not a fool, and stood firmly by Ning Chu's side in the face of danger.
The two sang and chorused, talking about the past, which made Ning Dong's originally flushed face a little more self-evident embarrassment, but what Ning Chu and Daiyu didn't expect was that Ning Dong was only a moment , and then regained his usual liveliness, sophistication and ease, even Ning Chu, who has been a human being for two generations, couldn't help but startled: "The fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law are really a perfect match, and they said it as if I was going to be ungrateful. I have secretly hidden the iced red bayberry that came to the fourth brother, and made the third brother laugh at me."
Ning Ze said: "Yifeng, this is your fault. Indeed, just now everyone was chatting happily, and the queen mother sent someone to send iced red bayberries. There are not many red bayberries in this season. It's rare that Lao Qi is thinking of you, so I have to give it to you." You kept a few, and seeing that you didn't come back for a while, I came out and looked around, if we didn't come out to look for him, we still wouldn't be able to meet you."
Ning Chu smiled and said: "It seems that today is Yifeng, who has become a person who values sex and despises friends. I only know that there are a few things I want to tell the princess, which disturbs the interest of the brothers. How about this, tonight Feng set up a banquet at the Chu Palace, as an apology for everyone, if you don't come, then you will look down on this brother."
Nodding to Ning Dong, Ning Chu continued: "Dong Qi, the fourth brother will leave this matter to you. If there is one missing in Chu Palace tonight, the fourth brother will ask you."
Ning Dong is also doing well, and smiled nonchalantly: "Fourth brother, don't worry, I may not be able to do anything else, but if you invite someone to drink, there is absolutely no problem." Looking at Li Wan's eyebrows, Ning Dong smiled and pretended to be teasing: "As the saying goes, whoever sees you has a share. I don't know if the fourth brother personally invites the concubine here, or if I invite it."
"As the saying goes, you have to tie the bell to untie it. Your concubine is with me. If the prince really wants to invite you, it must be Daiyu." Daiyu smiled and glanced at Ning Chu: "What did the prince say?" .”
Ning Chu looked at each other knowingly and smiled. From the eyes of everyone, the two of them looked like married couples long ago: "The princess is right, but the princess is not ignorant of the temper of the seventh younger brother. She likes to talk and joke on weekdays. Your concubine, wait until after you get married, and you will be invited by the princess."
"Fourth brother is really convincing. The name of this modest gentleman is worthy of the name. I thought I was delusional just now." The fifth prince looked like a thin and shy young man, but he didn't speak like him at all. Appearance: "Sisister-in-law hasn't entered the door yet, so I'll give this right up first. If we brothers go to drink at Sige's house in the future, do we need Sisister-in-law to nod?"
"Fifth brother's words are out of the question. We are all one family. Whether I'm here or not, you can drink all the good wine in the mansion. I believe the princess will never stop me." Ning Chu smiled as before, and couldn't see it at all. There is a trace of strangeness.
Knowing that this place is already a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, and knowing that being here is not only useless, but also that if she is not careful, she will become Ning Chu's weakness, so Daiyu glanced at Li Wan's eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Your concubine, let's go. "
Li Wanmei nodded, glanced at Ning Chu and Ning Dong, and said, "I'm afraid we have disturbed the interest of your highness here, Miss Lin, let's go, don't let people say that we have no winks."
Because the stone path is a bit narrow, Daiyu naturally walked behind, while Ning Dong still had the same smile: "Your concubine, fourth sister-in-law, go slowly."
After walking a few steps, Li Wanmei suddenly stopped, looked back at Ning Dong and said, "Your Highness, look at me, I almost forgot, I just saw Princess Yining, she seems to have something urgent to ask you, and said that if I touch When I see you, I will tell you that she is waiting for you at the Queen Mother's place, and I want you to go there. Princess Yi also said that if you don't go, she will..."
Deliberately not going on, Li Wanmei smiled faintly: "Although she didn't say what she was going to do, but she looked like that, but her face was full of displeasure." Ning Dong pretended not to care and said with a smile: "Yining likes to bluff, she must It's Naji's idea again."
Ning Chu, who was still standing there, said meaningfully: "Seventh brother, you should go over and have a look. Have you forgotten what fourth brother often said?"
Ning Dong said: "Women can't afford to offend, especially smart women." His gaze flashed past Daiyu's back inadvertently, and Ning Dong smiled meaningfully: "The fourth brother is right, it's no wonder that the fourth brother even kills me now. Don't tell me, just come here alone, well, I'll go and see what tricks they are playing."
Deliberately not going on, Li Wanmei smiled faintly: "Although she didn't say what she was going to do, but she looked like that, but her face was full of displeasure." Ning Dong pretended not to care and said with a smile: "Yining likes to bluff, she must It's Naji's idea again."

Ning Dong said: "Women can't afford to offend, especially smart women." His gaze flashed past Daiyu's back inadvertently, and Ning Dong smiled meaningfully: "Fourth brother is right, it's no wonder that fourth brother is even with me now. Don't tell me, just come here alone, well, I'll go and see what tricks they play. I'll go and see them"
