bastard returns

"Silly boy, why are you doing this today?" Princess Zhaoyi has been in poor health for the past few days and has not been to the wedding venue. It can be seen that Princess Wanyi was sent back in a happy dress. After asking why, she also felt that It's absurd, "You agreed to this marriage yourself, and I made it with your grandmother. Now that you have made such a fuss, I don't want to care about other things, but what should you do with your future marriage."

Judging from today's events, the marriage in Tongning's mansion was blown, but if you look elsewhere, that prestigious family will marry a woman who has lost her reputation.

The Eldest Princess plotted, even at the expense of killing people to preserve Wanyi's status, but who knew that she could be ruined by Wanyi herself in such a way, she was a little disheartened for a while, and didn't have the intention to reprimand her anymore, she just waved her hand and said: " Forget it, I will never care about you in the future, you can do whatever you want, I hate that I have listened to gossip all my life, and now even my granddaughter will die in the palace just like me."

After speaking, she walked out of the house without looking back.

In the palace of death?Princess Wanyi heard this, but she didn't feel any burden in her heart. Instead, she felt that a big stone had fallen. Yes, in the old death palace, let it be in the old death palace. Instead of marrying someone you don't like, the other party only likes It's better for a person of her own status to be a wife than to live the rest of her life quietly.

After meeting Ning Yuan and agreeing to help him, Princess Wanyi suddenly realized that her heart is Xie Changqing in this life, and she will no longer love others. Today's tossing is really true for her. It's a good thing, because from now on, no one will bother her about getting married again - anyway, Xie Zhangqing will not marry her, it's better to die alone alone.

Of course, no matter whether it is the eldest princess or Princess Zhaoyi, it is impossible to see through her thoughts.

On the other hand, after the queen returned to the palace, she did not dare to be negligent, and immediately reported to the emperor the fact that Princess Wanyi accused Ning Huayang and his son of framing Ning Zhongkun. The emperor was very surprised after hearing this, and immediately wanted to recruit Ning Huayang into the palace When asked, the eunuch who delivered the decree had just arrived at Duke Ning's mansion, and got the news that Ning Huayang was out of breath because of Princess Wanyi's affairs, and had already fainted on the bed and was unconscious.

Since the person was already unconscious, there was no way to go back to the emperor's words, so the eunuch had no choice but to bring the news back to the palace. Although the emperor felt suspicious, there was no real evidence, so he couldn't say anything more.

That night, in Pang Song's mansion, Ning Huayang, who was originally "bedridden", was sitting here in ordinary attire, with Pang Song and Sikong Xu lined up on both sides.

"Why hasn't Prince Meng come here? He was the one who stabbed him. Do you want to pretend to be stupid now?" Ning Huayang slammed his fist on the low table, "It was he who came up with the idea to drag Princess Wanyi into the water. Yes, now that girl has bitten the old man back, causing the emperor to start to suspect the old man, how should this matter end!"

"Lord Ning, be safe and don't be impatient. The emperor's suspicions are suspicions, but there is no evidence, but he can't do anything to you." Pang Song comforted him.

"Hmph, Don't think it's a trivial matter, Pang Da. Once we lose the trust of the emperor, we are courtiers, how can we look good in the future?" Ning Huayang glanced at Pang Song, "I'm not as good as Pang Da. It is my good fortune to have a smooth career in official career and gain the trust of the emperor. I am not from a high family background, and it is a dangerous move to reach this point. If something goes wrong, there will be no other way but to be frustrated."

Speaking of this, Ning Huayang blew his beard angrily again, "If I had known this, I should have been doing everything I did before. If I hadn't listened to your persuasion, I was greedy for profit and rushed forward, so why would I end up in this situation?"

"Stop arguing, both of you, don't you guys think today's facts are really unusual?" Si Kongxu was annoyed by their quarrel, and said, "Princess Wanyi was very well-behaved on the day of proposing marriage, why did she suddenly become a woman today?" This look? And the jade pendant that the eldest princess took out suddenly, isn't it too strange?"

"Thinking about it this way, it is indeed the case." Ning Huayang calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "I have already asked Yicai, he accidentally lost the jade pendant, and he has never had a private conversation with Princess Wanyi. I have seen it before, but today I heard what the eldest princess said, it is obvious that someone who met Princess Wanyi in private deliberately left the jade pendant for the eldest princess to see, so as to direct the disaster to Yicai. Could it be that today's matter, we were calculated by others from the very beginning?"

"But who would use such calculations to destroy the good things of your Ning family, could it be that Xie Zhangqing?" Pang Song stroked his beard, "After all, he is the one who really has an old relationship with Princess Wanyi. Princess Yi joined forces to destroy this marriage..."

"There is no such possibility." The voices of several people discussing were suddenly interrupted by a peaceful tone outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and Meng Zhifan in a purple gown walked in, "Princess Wanyi said to Xie Changqing It has always been just unrequited love, Xie Zhangqing has no reason to hinder this marriage at all, and can arrange the whole thing like this, intertwined, messing up the marriage and biting Lord Ning through Princess Wanyi's mouth , with Xie Changqing's status, even if he has the brains, he doesn't have the ability, and you have forgotten one thing, do you think it is a coincidence that Ning Zhongkun suddenly tossed the trick of killing himself in the prison?"

While Meng Zhifan said, he sat down gracefully, but his expression was not as calm as his demeanor, and there was a look of solemnity between the corners of his eyes and the brow.

"By the way, there is also that kid Ning Zhongkun. How could he have the audacity to commit suicide in prison? Someone must have instigated him to string together these ins and outs to plot against the old man. This man is very generous." Ning Hua Yang showed a look of enlightenment, "The old man must check carefully, who has Ning Zhongkun seen in the prison!"

"Lord Bu Lao Ning, don't worry about it. I've checked this matter. Apart from Jing Yi, there hasn't been a single fly in the dungeon recently. It must be him." Meng Zhifan picked up his tea and took a sip.

"Jing Shizi? It's really strange, why did he fight against the old man!" Ning Huayang was taken aback, "Is he full?"

"Although I'm not familiar with Jing Yi, I also know that he has a straight-forward personality, and he doesn't have so many conspiracy rules. Moreover, as Lord Ning said, he messed up your grand ambitions, Lord Ning, but there is nothing wrong with him. Good." Meng Zhifan smiled, "So I don't think it will be him."

"Is that someone passing word through Jing Shizi's mouth?" Pang Song said: "Jing Shizi has just returned to Beijing from the army, and the only one who gets close to him is General Zhao, who has little contact with us, so he probably doesn't know how to eat. They came to make trouble when they were full...Could it be that they are actually part of the same party as the Grand Highness?"

In Pang Song's eyes, this is indeed the most reasonable and feasible explanation, because looking inside and outside the court, there are really not many people who have a reason to oppose them, but Sikong Yue is a real target.

Pang Song had already hugged Sikong Xu. Naturally, everything was focused on supporting Sikong Xu. As for Ning Huayang, they were drawn into the group later, and their purpose was simple. Now that Ning Guogong is old, they only need to Helping Ning Huayang squeeze out Ning Zhongkun to become the new Ning Guogong, Ning Huayang is bound to become a great help for Sikong Xu in the future.

And all this is obviously not what the eldest prince Sikong Yue wanted. If the other party knew their plan, it would not be difficult to say that they would do everything possible to obstruct it.

"You don't have to worry about it, not to mention whether His Highness knows about your relationship, but now he is most concerned about the upstart and favored Concubine Shu Hui and His Highness Sikong Xuan, how can he care about other things?" Meng Meng Zhifan chuckled, "General Zhao is not the only one who works diligently with Prince Jing, you have all ignored one person."

"Who?" Almost all of them asked in unison.

"Prince Yongyi." When he said these four words, Meng Zhifan's voice was inexplicably hoarse, and his fists that had been on his knees were clenched unconsciously. Although his expression was unmoved, his hands kept flashing The moving eyes completely exposed the ups and downs in his heart.

"Ah!" Huyan Yuanchen suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Hey, it's already spring, do you still feel cold?" Zhao Mo picked two pieces of hot lamb, rolled them in red oil dipped in water, and then threw them into his mouth. He swallowed it without chewing, and after eating, he smacked his lips and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sure enough, we should eat more hot pot before summer. In the military camp, every time a group of soldiers boiled a pot, they would hunt with hungry wolves. It seems that you can’t grab a few slices of meat at all, how can you eat so satisfyingly like cooking a small stove by yourself.”

"Probably because the chili smell is too strong, he choked on it." Huyan Yuanchen rubbed his nose in embarrassment. His nose was red, as if he was really not used to the spicy smell.

"It's your fault." Zhao Mo raised his chopsticks and tapped Huyan Yuanchen twice, "Hot pot is the quintessence of my diet that has been popular in Dazhou for many years. Think about it, my younger brother learned to roast mutton for you. You Why should I learn to eat hot pot for my brother?"

"I don't think he was choked at all. Speaking of choking, the spices sprinkled on the grilled lamb chops at the end of the year are much more than that in this hot pot. How can it be so choking? I guess someone is thinking about him." It's gone." Ning Yuan held a small porcelain bowl, and slowly gnawed on the pork knuckle in red oil that had just been fished out of the pot, while saying: "Perhaps Prince Meng is still thinking about him."

Hu Yanyuanchen was embarrassed by Ning Yuan's words, why did this good thing get involved there for no reason, this peach blossom debt was not something he wanted to take the initiative to provoke, but the two brothers took the opportunity to tease him for a while, He wanted to pull Yan Fei to say a few words for him, but when he turned his head, Yan Fei seemed to be hungry for three days and three nights, and he ate so happily that his head was almost buried in the rice bowl up.

"How about it, this hot pot is strong enough. Although the taste of this kind of hot pot made by myself is not as good as that sold in restaurants, it has all the ingredients and is unambiguous." Zhao Mo smiled reservedly. Boasting, looking at Yan Fei's thumb compared to himself, he looked very proud.

What happened in Ningguo's mansion, although none of them were present, it was a huge disturbance, but the city was full of wind and rain in just half a day, even sitting at home should know, so Zhao Mo celebrated Ning Yuan's event. The first round was a victory, and he personally cooked a hot pot meal, eating with Ning Yuan who was hiding in his mansion, and Huyan Yuanchen who also had the cheek to stay here.

Huyan Yuanchen was originally not used to this way of cooking while cooking, but he was busy helping Ning Yuan run around for the past two days, and he never had a good meal. He was already very hungry, and Zhao Mo When he brought out the big pot of red hot things, he looked at all kinds of meat and vegetables tumbling on it, and the strong aroma that hit his face, so he couldn't help but ate a mouthful, but he was choked up after taking a sip. The sneeze made Zhao Mo and Ning Yuan tease.

"But I'm not talking nonsense. Maybe Shizi Meng is really thinking about him now." Ning Yuan seemed to be full, put down the bowl and chopsticks, picked up a glass of water to rinse his mouth, and looked at Huyan Yuanchen at the same time and said : "I'm afraid that when he recovers, it's time to bother you."

"Can it be so fast?" Zhao Moqi said, "They should wait a few days."

Ning Yuan shook his head and said: "What happened to Princess Wanyi is strange, Meng Zhifan is not out of his mind, just think about it a little bit and you will know that someone is hindering their hands and feet. Logically, the person they should suspect the most is I, it's a pity that I'm already dead in their eyes now, and Meng Zhifan knows my relationship with Huyan, so after thinking about it, who else can have such a big deal except Huyan who wants to avenge me? Get married with them?" Ning Yuan stretched out his hand, and the fingertip landed on Huyan Yuanchen.

"It's reasonable." Zhao Mo nodded, "It's just that Princess Wanyi's matter just came out, and Ning Zhongkun made such a fuss again. I'm afraid that Ning Huayang will have to deal with the troubles that Ning Guo Gongfu still has. With such a guess, we might not be able to find trouble for others for the time being, especially since our Prince Yongyi still has the status of an envoy of the Great Xia."

"Others may not be able to spare their hands, but that Prince Meng is very leisurely." Ning Yuan said: "Compared with those guys who think about fighting for power all day long, Meng Zhifan's purpose is much more pure , you just have to wait and see.”

As soon as Ning Yuan finished speaking, Xue Lihong suddenly flapped her wings and flew towards the dining table in front of several people, her eyes were curiously looking at the good things in the pot, Ning Yuan saw that there were letters tied to its feet, After untying it, he revealed such an expression, and handed it to Huyan Yuanchen.

Huyan Yuanchen only glanced at it, then threw the note away, "I won't go."

Sure enough, it was exactly as Ning Yuan expected, Xue Lihong sent a letter from the post house, and the people there informed Huyan Yuanchen that the son of Meng Guogong had sent a greeting card and invited him to have tea together in three days.

Ning Yuan smiled, "Are you worried that I will mind?"

"In the past, I only thought that Meng Zhifan was a humble person, but I didn't think that his heart was so vicious. You never had any grudges with him, but he nearly killed you. How can I face him like that?" Hu Yanyuan Chen said it firmly, as if he hated Meng Zhifan very much.

Although Ning Yuan was moved by Huyan Yuanchen's statement, Ning Yuan still said, "If I say so, I hope you will go and have a look."

"You want me to go?" Huyan Yuanchen frowned, "A Yuan, what do you mean?"

"Actually, I've always been curious about what purpose Meng Zhifan wanted to get close to those people. If he was just trying to deal with me, he shouldn't have to go through such trouble. Besides, I'm already 'dead', but he didn't Aren't you surprised that you broke up with them?"

Huyan Yuanchen was puzzled and said: "That's his business too, it has nothing to do with me."

Ning Yuan shook his head, "That's why I suspect that his fundamental purpose may not be me, but you."

Huyan Yuanchen was taken aback.

"It doesn't matter whether you get rid of me or help Sikong Xu's faction gain power. With Meng Zhifan's status, it is difficult to bring him any practical benefits, so Meng Zhifan will cooperate with them. I suspect that Meng Zhifan knew about Sikong. The relationship between Xu and the Empress Dowager Daxia, Huyan, don’t forget that the Empress Dowager Xia seems to have been looking for opportunities to get rid of you.” Ning Yuan blinked at Huyan Yuanchen, as if to remind him not to forget such an important things.

"So what." Huyan Yuanchen seemed indifferent, "Except for placing a few eyeliners by my side, the Empress Dowager Xia can't really do anything to me. As for cooperating with the fourth prince and others, it is even more ridiculous. It didn't go well, so there's no time to plot against me."

"What if Meng Zhifan made them go smoothly?" Ning Yuan took out a folding fan out of nowhere, and shook it open smartly, but his tone became more dignified, "Look at those people who have the relationship they need, Pang Song The foundation is not stable, relying on Sikong Xu to consolidate power, Ning Huayang covets the position of Ning Guogong, and cooperates with them in exchange for skyrocketing, but their ultimate goal is to push Sikong Xu to the top, and now Meng Zhifan has also joined in, Once Sikong Xu really takes the position, whether it is Pang Song or Ning Huayang, what he wants is nothing more than greater power and position, but what about Meng Zhifan? What does he want? If his final goal is With the help of Sikong Xu's power and the black hand of Empress Dowager Xia, to turn you into his confinement, what should you do?"

What Ning Yuan said was well-founded, and when the word "Ji-脔" popped out, Zhao Mo finally couldn't hold it back, and burst out laughing, probably because he couldn't imagine Huyan Yuanchen turning into someone else's "Ji-脔".

"I..." Huyan Yuanchen didn't expect Ning Yuan to speak so blatantly, and he was a little annoyed amidst the embarrassment. He wanted to refute for a while but couldn't think of an excuse, so he froze there.

"Can you deny this possibility?" Ning Yuan asked again.

"No." Hu Yanyuanchen lowered his head, although he felt that Ning Yuan's words were exaggerated, although he felt that it would not be so easy for those people with his ability to control him even if they gained power, but to be more strict, what Ning Yuan said Worrying things are not impossible.

"Obviously, you can't deny it, and I don't allow such a thing to happen, so I want you to meet him and see what he's up to." Ning Yuan slowed down, "You As if it were not for myself, but also for me, how could I just sit back and watch others have your ideas and remain indifferent."

Hearing these words, Huyan Yuanchen's heart warmed up. Indeed, if Ning Yuan hadn't cared about him, how could he let him go to meet Meng Zhifan.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, they just looked at each other motionlessly, the atmosphere made Zhao Mo suddenly feel uncomfortable, he thought about it, reluctantly forgot to take a look at the half-eaten hot pot, got up and said Go get some water, then quickly grab Yan Feiyi and pull him out of the house.

"Of course, if you really go to see him, you have to abide by the rules and don't do anything out of the ordinary." Ning Yuan withdrew his eyes, suddenly feeling that he had become a little hypocritical again.

But in Huyan Yuanchen's eyes, Ning Yuan's pretentious and hypocritical nature also made him feel very cute. He couldn't hold it back for a while, moved closer to Ning Yuan, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and wanted to He kissed the man, and finally got close. Seeing that Ning Yuan had a strange expression on his face, and even covered his mouth with a folding fan, he was stunned for a while, and suddenly looked at the hot pot that was still boiling happily, and raised his hand He took a breath, smelled the spicy smell in his mouth, and sat back resentfully.

Looking at his appearance, in Ning Yuan's eyes, there was a kind of cuteness that was hidden. Ning Yuan smiled, and suddenly he leaned forward, and before Huyan Yuanchen could react, he sealed it. his mouth.

Huyan Yuanchen's eyes widened, unexpectedly Ning Yuan would do this suddenly, just when he was about to push him away.However, the tip of Ning Yuan's tongue had already pushed his teeth away, and nimbly sent a small piece of something exuding a clear aura into his mouth. The smell of the pot was swept away, only to feel the fragrance on the lips and teeth.

It is rare for Ning Yuan to take the initiative, and Huyan Yuanchen will definitely not let go of this opportunity. Without the previous worries, he smiled and stretched his arms around Ning Yuan's waist to attack the city more recklessly. I don't know how long it has passed. The lips and tongues of the two parted with a silver thread.

Ning Yuan wiped his red lips in annoyance, thinking that Huyan was a bit shameless, but Huyan Yuanchen still stayed in the different taste just now, and he would still keep I took out the thing in my mouth, and found that it turned out to be a green mint leaf.

I see.He nodded knowingly, it seems that he will have to keep some of these things with him in the future, otherwise if he lives with Ning Yuan in the future, he will eat heavy food such as grilled lamb chops and hot pot more often. Every time they are worried about the taste of spices in their mouths, the two really don't want to be intimate and tender again.

****

Three days later, Meng Guogong's mansion.

After Huyan Yuanchen's carriage stopped at the gate of Meng's Mansion, the servants at the gate seemed not surprised at all, and immediately stepped forward to serve the people in the carriage to get off the carriage, bent down respectfully and bowed their heads, and led the distinguished guest of their son into the house.

Huyan Yuanchen didn't dress up as easy-going as when he was with Ning Yuan, but dressed appropriately in the clothes for meeting guests, which were luxurious and cumbersome, and he also wore a correct mask on his face. Although he came here under Ning Yuan's persuasion He went to the appointment, but he also had his own thoughts. To put it bluntly, he was the one who provoked Ning Yuan's disaster this time. He could simply use this opportunity to open up the sky with Meng Zhifan. It is absolutely impossible for him, if Meng Zhifan is sensible and can stop this idea by himself, it would be great.
