Chu Ning immediately closed the lid of the box, but because she was too flustered, the wooden lid and the box body bumped twice, and some of the contents inside were spilled.He hurriedly cleaned up, while looking up at the door.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Xie Heng standing in front of him, squinting at him.

Chu Ning: ...

At this moment, Chu Ning was holding a beautiful and exquisite little bell and was about to put it away in the box. When she saw Xie Heng here, she didn't know where to put her hand.

Now he says he didn't do it on purpose, can it be redeemed?

"So...Chu Chu likes these things." Xie Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a slightly astonished expression.He slowly sat down beside Chu Ning, blocking Chu Ning's way of leaving.

"I'm not...obviously..." Chu Ning wanted to argue, but Xie Heng blocked all his words with an expression of "you don't need to explain, I understand everything".

Chu Ning found that he couldn't argue with Xie Heng at all, because Xie Heng is a person who is used to turning black and white right and wrong. It is clearly Xie Heng's own thing, but he wants to say that he likes it.

"It's getting late, I want to go back." Chu Ning put down her things and was about to go out, but the place where Xie Heng was sitting was just blocking his way, and he had to go around to go to the door.

She had to pass by Xie Heng's side in this circle. Chu Ning was careful enough, but Xie Heng grabbed her wrist and pulled her directly into her arms.

"Chuchu...the night is deep and the dew is heavy, and the spring night is short, it's time to rest." Xie Heng's eyes were gloomy, as if directly looking through Chu Ning's clothes, wanting to tear him apart and eat him.

Chu Ning was startled. After that night, what else did he not understand?He bent over and fled into the house.However, Xie Heng also reacted very quickly, following his footsteps and rushing in, directly throwing Chu Ning onto the soft big bed.

"No... no...!" Chu Ning screamed, struggling to move forward.But all his actions were in vain, there was only such a small space in the bed, and he couldn't escape even if he ran.

"Huh? Why not? Chuchu doesn't want to?" Xie Heng thought about itching all over his body, wishing to be on Chu Ning's body every day.Xie's family has a rigorous family education, he has never even been an ordinary concubine, and all his experience is with Chu Ning.

But if Chu Ning is unwilling, he will not force it, but will be a little disappointed.

"No...tomorrow...tomorrow we have to go to court tomorrow." Chu Ning blushed and pushed Xie Heng dissatisfied.He naturally saw the disappointment on Xie Heng's face, but he was afraid that he would indulge too much.

"I don't want to delay the morning." Xie Heng's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he rushed forward like a hungry tiger.

Chu Ning felt like a weak little white rabbit, trembling under Xie Dahu's attack.He plucked up the courage to use his age advantage to resist, but was eaten to death by the young tiger cub.

In the end, my waist and knees were so weak that I could only lie on the bed, unable to move a single finger.

As for the contents of the box, I only used two or three items.

On the second day, Chu Ning and Xie Heng were kneeled by Zhifei.The two of them tossed and tossed for a long time last night, barely fell asleep after taking a bath, and felt unable to wake up until dawn.

Especially Chu Ning, Qian Jun's body is mostly warmer than Kun Jun's. Being hugged by Xie Heng and wrapped in a warm quilt is really comfortable.

However, the morning court still couldn't be turned up. The two hurriedly searched for the messy clothes and shoes and socks that had been thrown away.

Fortunately, Zhifei was considerate and gave her new clothes.

The only thing that Chu Ning couldn't figure out was that Zhifei was so powerful that she even took his clothes.

Probably because Chu Ning looked at her clothes too clearly, Zhi Fei explained while helping Chu Ning get dressed, "Madam's clothes were sent by Chang Ming. He waited at the back door all night last night. Genius narrowed his eyes for a while in the servant's room."

Chu Ning: ...I'm afraid there will be another Chang Ming's sorry genealogy bombing.

But fortunately, it was Chang Ming who came over, and with his current status, he couldn't get out of Xie's carriage.So Chu Ning bid farewell to Xie Heng, got into the Chu family's car through the back door, and went directly to the morning court.

Because she got up late, Chu Ning arrived not too early.The officials waiting for the early court are almost full, and Prince Yan and Prince Duan are still fighting against each other.But it is obvious that Prince Yan is slightly better now.

Although Chu Ning has never been very enlightened about politics, she can more or less understand that Xie Heng helped him this time because he touched the foundation of Prince Duan.It was only because I asked for it myself that I made such a big move.

It's not that he doesn't understand, but he can only repay with his body.

In the early court, the emperor's face was very displeased, and he directly reprimanded Prince Duan for his recent misbehavior, and was fined to contemplate behind closed doors for a month.This kind of punishment is considered very serious for a prince, even his deadly rival, Prince Yan, who was in court, almost couldn't help laughing.

Fortunately, Prince Yan was not completely out of his mind, his expression restrained a bit.

The case in Antique Street is urgent, and an explanation needs to be given to the public as soon as possible, and the royal family is involved, so the case has almost been heard.But Prince Duan is the heir of the royal family after all, so naturally he can't be directly involved in the case, he can only erase traces in the case, bring out a scapegoat, and then punish Prince Duan.

Chu Ning is not surprised that the royal family has done many such things.However, the innocent courtiers who had been imprisoned before were replaced by Prince Duan's people.

After the imperial court, Xie Heng still went directly to Zichen Hall to serve Mo, while Chu Ning was going to visit Lin Yanqing in Dali Temple directly.Now that the case has been tried to a certain extent, martial law will not be too severe.

After leaving the court, all the officials scattered, and occasionally a few gossiped together.It's just that the voice was a little loud, which happened to be heard by Chu Ning.

In fact, Chu Ning originally wanted to leave politely, but when she heard Xu Chengxuan's name, she couldn't help listening more.

"Why did Mr. Xu of the Hanlin Academy suddenly ask for leave today? What kind of leave did he ask?" A senior official asked. "On weekdays, I don't see Mr. Xu, who is diligent and diligent, asking for leave. What happened recently? Mr. Xie asked for leave, General Chu asked for leave, and Master Xu also asked for leave."

"I don't know, it's probably on sick leave. I heard that Mrs. Xu's mother, Mrs. Xu, has been talking about her son's marriage for the past few days. Who knows that Mr. Xu has seen several portraits and is not satisfied. Even if the matchmaker breaks the threshold, she won't get a good word." .” Another official continued, with a slight disdain in his tone. "I heard that Mrs. Xu is very dissatisfied with Mr. Xu's attitude, and Mrs. Xu even punished him to face the wall and think about his mistakes."

"I'm afraid your daughter is also among them! Who doesn't know that after the divorce, Mr. Xu, you thought about the reward for your daughter!" The first official joked. "But it's true. I once married a beauty like General Chu. Not to mention ordinary people, even princesses and princesses are really unattractive. It's a pity that General Chu is not Lord Kun. If it is Lord Kun... I don't know what Xu Chengxuan thinks Yes, I don't want such stunning looks, I don't want my wealth, I have to retire."

"What are you thinking! If General Chu is Lord Kun, with his family background, talent and appearance, he is more than enough to be a princess or concubine. How could he take advantage of us." Another official covered his colleague's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense."

Chu Ning heard that something was getting more and more wrong, so she quickened her pace and hurried out of the palace.

What does it have to do with Xu Chengxuan whether he wants to get married again?In short, his fate with Xu Chengxuan has come to an end. Now that he has escaped from the shackles of the Xu family, he will never look back.

He and Xu Chengxuan... There is no possibility anymore.

After leaving the palace gate, Chu Ning went to Dali Temple Prison in a carriage.On the way, he packed some food and wine from Chunfenglou, intending to take them into prison to satisfy Lin Yanqing's hunger.

Dali Temple Prison is located in the urban area, close to the eastern suburbs, the location is somewhat remote.Because there is a prison and it is a cold place, it looks deserted, even a bit serious and cold.

There were only two guards guarding the door, but fortunately, Chu Ning was let in to visit after handing over the badge.Carrying the food box containing the food, Chu Ning walked into the prison of Dali Temple unhurriedly, and followed the jailers through the deep tunnel.

When it was almost time to arrive, Chu Ning rewarded the jailer who led the way with a piece of silver, and the jailer left knowingly.

Dali Temple Prison has always been a place for detaining felons of the imperial court. Compared with the prefects and prefectures of the prefectures and counties, the conditions are much better, at least they are clean and tidy.

Lin Yanqing sat inside with her back to Chu Ning.After only two days of detention, he already looked haggard, with disheveled hair and a small circle of thinner.

Thinking about it this way... Chu Ning's heart trembled slightly.He had been like this for two days in prison, and when Xie Heng came to see him that night, he might have seen even more haggard and ugly.It's hard for Xie Heng to say that he wants to marry him in the face of such a situation.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning felt a little depressed.

Perhaps it was because of his long and intense gaze, or the rapid and heavy breathing that disturbed others, Lin Yanqing seemed to have noticed something, and subconsciously turned her head back, just in time to meet Chu Ning's gaze.

"Ah Ning...?" Lin Yanqing's eyes lit up like candles that had just been lit.He stood up from the weeds and staggered to the wooden fence.

"Brother Yanqing..." Chu Ning looked at Lin Yanqing's appearance, feeling a little distressed in his heart.He hurriedly opened the door with the key, flustered and unable to hold the key several times.

After finally getting in, Lin Yanqing grabbed his arm.

"Ah Ning...how did you get in? I'm a guilty person now, and your contact with me will drag you down." Lin Yanqing's expression was a little anxious. "You are walking on thin ice now, so you must not make mistakes because of me."

Chu Ning took Lin Yanqing's hand, patted it reassuringly, and smiled softly: "Don't worry, brother Yanqing, you are fine, and you should be released soon after the case is settled."

"How could it be..." Lin Yanqing squeezed Chu Ning's hand tightly, "Although I am not involved in party disputes, I know about it. This time it was clearly framed by someone. How could it be so easy to get a clear trial."

"Brother Yan Qing still doesn't believe me?" Chu Ning's tone and expression were very relaxed, and even deliberately added a little bit of complaint.

"Of course I believe you." Lin Yanqing was naturally not stupid, and she could understand from Chu Ning's expression that she was really fine.But he is not stupid, he does not believe that the mastermind behind the scenes will let him go so easily.He held Chu Ning's wrist tightly, forcing Chu Ning to look at him. "A Ning, did you do something? Tell me! Did you ask someone! Did you make some deal!"

The prison was extremely dark, only a small oil lamp was shaking.The on and off lights shone on Lin Yanqing's face, which seemed a bit hideous.

"Of course...of course not. Don't think too much, brother." Chu Ning broke away from Lin Yanqing's hand, turned around and wanted to put the food box that was on the ground into Lin Yanqing's hand.

"No! You must have done something! I have been in Beijing for many years. Although I have not been involved in the center, I also know what those wolves, tigers and leopards want to do! What do you want! If you promised them something because of me... I will tell you Chu Ning! I would rather die here! You are not allowed to promise them to do things that go against your heart!" Lin Yanqing did not take the food box that Chu Ning handed over, he took a step back, his eyes widened, and he stared straight at Chu Ning .His tone was strong and decisive, and his voice shook people dizzily.

Chu Ning's hand holding the food box tightened again, and the veins on the back of her hand burst.He put the food box on the ground, looked at Lin Yanqing helplessly and smiled.

He lowered his head again, took out the Lin family's heirloom jade ring from his arms, and handed it to Lin Yanqing.

"Brother Yan Qing...I'll return this jade to you." Chu Ning stared at the jade in her hand with mixed emotions in her heart. "It's because I have no fate with you."

"Ah Ning...you...what did you promise...!" Lin Yanqing stared blankly at Chu Ning's long, white hands and the jade rings on them. His heart seemed to be held by two hands. Stuck, barely able to jump.

"Prince Duan framed you this time." Seeing that Lin Yanqing hadn't moved, Chu Ning stepped forward and forced the jade into his hand. "I couldn't ask Prince Duan, so I went to ask Xie Heng."

Lin Yanqing froze on the spot, so stunned that she couldn't even manage her expression well, and even asked involuntarily, "Why... why is it him...!"

"Of course I'm going to ask him." Chu Ning thought of that dark night, and thought of Xie Heng who came adventurously dressed in black.Obviously he is already in a desperate situation, in a dead end, but he still wants to save him.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning's gaze softened for a moment.

"Because he and I... are married."
