Shi Tan was dressed very plainly, at first glance she would never have guessed that she was the richest businessman in the world.But the temperament is very calm, and it seems that he has seen strong winds and waves.

Qiu Xin joked about Qingling, but Liu Ninghuan didn't dare to speak up.For some reason, she smelled a strong smell of infernal affairs from Qiu Xin... well, it wasn't because she didn't smell it, after all, Liu Ninghuan didn't want to be a dog.

The reason why Liu Ninghuan thinks so is because in the novel Qiu Xin is the scumbag's right-hand man.

This story was written by Liu Ninghuan, and her sense of belief in this story is engraved in her bones.

Liu Ninghuan didn't speak, looked at Shi Tan and said, "What's the matter?"

Shi Tan smiled and said, "Why, haven't seen you for a few months, and you don't even call me your cousin? Come and sit, I ordered your favorite pastry. Let's talk after eating."

There was a gentle and tolerant smile on Shi Qian's face, and the atmosphere didn't look like plotting a rebellion at all, but like gossip.

Liu Ning moved slightly in joy, sat at the table, picked up the pastry and began to eat.

During this period, Shi Tan just looked at her like that, poured water for her, asked her how she was doing recently, and asked her what books she had read.Liu Ninghuan murmured in her heart: I almost asked "Have you found someone?"...Why is this relative so typical?

Still, it was quite warm.

After eating two cakes, Shi Chan became serious.Liu Ninghuan subconsciously straightened her back, pushed the cup aside again, and stared at Shi Chan intently.

"There are still five days before the caravan enters Beijing. I will appear with the caravan at that time. There should be many people paying attention. It is better not to show up that day. Today I will come with a small group of elite soldiers. They are powerful. Follow the orders of the Shi family. If necessary, you can go to the pawn shop in the east of the city and take this token to the shopkeeper."

As Shi Chan said, he pushed over a token made of gold, on which was engraved a complicated character for "Shi".

"The large army is currently on standby at the port, and will enter the capital by water. After the order is issued, they will all be able to rush into the capital in half a day and kill all of Zhao Zhan's people." Shi Qian's voice was very soft, his expression on his face. But revealed a sense of chill.

Liu Ninghuan felt cold, hugged his arms and touched his own, and asked, "How many people are there?"

"About 20 elite soldiers, the main task is to protect your safety. If the timing is right, you can also assassinate Zhao Zhan." Shi Chan said: "The maximum number of people on board is 5000. Although the number is not large, the capital reserves are insufficient. Slack, should be more than enough."

Shi Chan spoke calmly, as if he was discussing a business worth about 1 taels.But Liu Ninghuan's heart turned cold when he heard it.

Even the Imperial Forest Army was taken into consideration. It seems that Princess Pingzhen really intends to seize power, and Liu Ninghuan has already seen the end of this battle for the throne—with the bug of Zhao Zhan, how could Pingzhen win?How could Shi Chen win?Qiu Xin...will Qiu Xin betray?

Liu Ninghuan glanced at Qiu Xin unconsciously, Qiu Xin spread his fan and said, "Ning Huan, don't look at me so affectionately, I will take it seriously."

Liu Ninghuan: "..."

This classmate, are you a little too arrogant?

"Speaking of which, I heard that you have hired an actor these days, and you are quite serious?" Shi Qian took a sip of water and switched to the gossip mode very naturally.

I'm coming!Ask the relatives of the subject!

Liu Ninghuan let out an "ah" inexplicably.

Qiu Dao said: "It's not just serious, I brought it here today, it's next door." As he spoke, he pouted towards the room where Qingling was.

Shi Dan thought for a while and said, "It's nothing. Indulging in sensuality is part of a disguise. Bringing people over for dinner is a good way to deceive people. It's just that actors are ruthless, so don't get too involved in the drama, and don't let the love of children miss the grand plan. She What is the background, do you know?"

Just as Qiu Xin was about to answer, Liu Ninghuan said before her: "She has a clean background, don't worry about it, cousin."

Qiu Xin shut his mouth and gave Liu Ninghuan a meaningful look.

"I believe in your judgment, so I don't care about it. But there is one more thing I want to tell you. Go to teahouses less these days, and only listen to gods and ghosts when you go. You must not make more comments and confide in your heart. It has been a few days A lot of people are following you. If you can't bear it, you will make a big mess, don't attract people's attention in this kind of place." Shi Chan said.

Liu Ninghuan finally figured out the plain character design.

All the arrogance and domineering and the robbery of women are all pretense. The purpose is to let the competitors relax their vigilance and wait for the opportunity. Her goal is the throne.

Liu Ninghuan felt very wronged, she didn't write the complicated process of seizing the throne in the book, how did she know that Pingzhen was such a character who endured humiliation?Even if she knew, she wouldn't be able to act with her [-] years of experience as a single home girl...

I feel bad and want to cry.Otherwise, I might as well turn myself in to Zhao Zhan.

"Recently, how is that person's health?" Shi Chen asked again.

Liu Ninghuan's heart skipped a beat, recalling the scene of meeting the saint last time.She only had the impression of being fatuous and indulgent to this cheap old man. When Shi Qian asked, she remembered the faint look of despair on his father's face, as if he was at the end of his battle.There must be a reason for Shi Tan to ask such a question, could it be that his father is about to die? !

Liu Ning said calmly, "Same as usual."

Shi Chan sighed, took out a bundle of herbs from nowhere, and said, "If you have a chance, give it to that person."

Why do you all like to give people medicine?Is this antidote or poison/drug again?

Liu Ninghuan had no choice but to accept it, thinking about finding a way to find out the ingredients before deciding whether to send it to the emperor.Although she knew she would die, she was still afraid of death and did not want to be executed for offending the current Emperor Da Da.

After talking like this, more than an hour has passed.There was a light knock on the door, and Shi Tan stood up and said, "I'm leaving, the capital is dangerous, Ning Huan, you have to take good care of yourself. If Zhao Zhan finds out, you will have twenty elite soldiers escort you." Get out of town. In any case, life-saving is the most important thing."

As he spoke, Shi Qian patted Liu Ninghuan's head.The palms are warm and the movements are gentle, really like my sister.

This warm moment made Liu Ninghuan's nose sore, she felt that she liked Shi Chen a little bit - of course, it was the kind of liking that a younger sister has for an older sister.

Shi Qian followed the guards outside the door, leaving Qiu Xin and Liu Ninghuan in the room.

Liu Ninghuan always felt that Qiu Xin was weird, and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Qiu Xin rubbed his nose and said helplessly, "If the princess has anything to say, you can just say it directly. It doesn't matter if you invite me to live in the house. I'm afraid that Miss Qingling will be sad and the princess will feel distressed."

Liu Ninghuan said disdainfully: "You think too much."

Qiu Xin approached Liu Ninghuan, picked her chin with a fan, and said, "Oh? If I snatch Miss Qingling away, will the princess be sad?"

Hurrah!This guy really has his eyes on Qing Ling!

It's a pity that Qingling doesn't care about her at all.

This feeling of slapping the face is really cool.

Liu Ninghuan unconsciously showed pity in his eyes, and said, "By the way, why are you here today?"

What Liu Ninghuan wanted to ask was how Qiu Xin, as the think tank of Emperor Scum, would appear in another competitor's conspiracy meeting.It's a pity that Qiu Xin misunderstood it and said, "My father has something to do tonight, so he sent me to take his place."

Liu Ninghuan suddenly realized something.

It is not uncommon for father and daughter to have political disagreements, and to bet on opposite things... But Liu Ninghuan always feels that he is at a disadvantage, because Shi Tan seems to have not noticed Qiu Xin's strangeness at all.Should I remind my cousin?

Liu Ninghuan glanced at Qiu Xin again, very wary and vigilant.

Qiu Xin said, "Princess, what else do you want to say?"

Liu Ninghuan said, "No more, I'm going home."

Liu Ninghuan stood up and planned to leave.Feeling something wrong before taking a step, he turned around and took the plate of snacks and the bundle of herbs away.

Qiu Xin looked at her with a half-smile and said, "The princess is a gluttonous monkey."

Liu Ninghuan blushed and argued: "My cousin ordered it for me! I can't bear to disappoint her good intentions, so I can take it back to the house to eat, can't I?!"

Qiu Xin waved his fan and said, "Of course, Yangcuilou is the property of the Shi family. The princess can move as much as she wants, and no one will notice that something is wrong."

Liu Ninghuan's face turned dark, she didn't know why, she felt that there was something in Qiu Xin's words, as if she was mocking her for not being good enough in her disguise and being noticed by many people.

...Although it is true.

But this matter is said by the rival in love, it is not happy.

Liu Ninghuan tossed his robe, and walked out the door again with a plate in his hand.

At this moment in the next room——

Qing Ling and Po Yue sat facing each other, like two sculptures.No one spoke, no one ate, and barely audible breathing.The difference is that Poyue is cold and cold, and it is a bronze sculpture.Qing Ling is neither sad nor happy, but a statue of Buddha.

The eyes of the two sculptures are intertwined, and neither can see emotion from the other's eyes.

After a while, the eyes of the two moved at the same time, returning to their human state.

Qing Ling stood up, bowed to Po Yue, and walked outside the door.

Po Yue also stood up, looked at Qing Ling's back and said, "You heard that too? Good skill."

Po Yue really did not expect that such a weak actor could hear the voices in the next room.This shows that her martial arts are not weak.

Qingling asked, "What did you hear?"

Po Yue was taken aback for a moment, and immediately reacted, saying, "I didn't hear anything."

Both of them are "auditors", so it's better to pretend that you didn't hear the one who is not right, otherwise you will harm the two people who brought them here separately.

Qing Ling didn't respond, she walked to the door next door and waited for Liu Ninghuan to come out.

As soon as Liu Ninghuan pushed the door open, he saw Qingling head-on.She froze for a moment and said, "You just stood here all the time?"

"Just passing by." Qingling said, but her eyes fell on the plate of dim sum in Liu Ninghuan's hand.

The dim sum was arranged in the shape of a small mountain bun, and two pieces were eaten on the top of the mountain, giving a sense of incompleteness.But Qingling thought it looked familiar... In Chunlin Garden, she had also seen a plate of snacks like this.

Liu Ninghuan handed over the snack and said, "Try it, it's delicious."

Qing Ling took the snacks and herbs, but did not eat them.She handed the snacks to the boy and said, "Pack it up and take it away."

The two left Yangcui Tower and returned to the mansion.

Liu Ninghuan still stayed in Qingling's small courtyard, sitting at the table, eating snacks slowly while teaching Qingling how to play backgammon.

Liu Ninghuan had taught Rouxi and Yanguang successively. Among the three, Qingling had the quickest reaction. After one game, she completely understood the routine. open.

While playing chess, Liu Ninghuan heard a suspicious stomach growling.She raised her head in a daze, and found that Qingling was acting as usual, but her cheeks were bright red, betraying her...

Liu Ninghuan chuckled and said, "Are you hungry?"

Qingling's face was still red, but she spoke naturally. "I didn't eat in Yangcui Building before."

Only then did Liu Ninghuan remember that she ate the pastry by herself, but completely ignored Qingling's dinner question.If she remembers correctly, when playing backgammon, Qing Ling didn't eat a piece of pastry, and the last piece was already in her mouth...

Liu Ning neither swallowed nor spit, looked at Qingling blankly, and said: "I told you to order, why didn't you order? Then ask the cook to cook a table of dishes."

Qingling asked: "Princess, why did you take me to Yangcui Tower today?"

Qingling had an illusion: Princess Pingzhen knew her true identity, so she took her to listen to the corner specially.

But this doesn't make sense, so Qing Ling is very confused.

Liu Ninghuan thought back on what he did today, and found that on the surface it was very difficult - who would leave the little lover alone and go to someone else's appointment by himself?This is simply burying people on purpose.

Thinking of this, Liu Ninghuan coughed, and said in a pretentious way: "Well... you are left alone in the next room today, do you have any complaints?"

Qing Ling said: "Young Master Po Yue is also here, I'm not used to eating with strangers, so I didn't order."

? ? !

"What is he doing here! Did Qiu Xin bring it? I know she's not a good person!" Liu Ninghuan cursed secretly: "Let's ignore the matter of Po Yue, anyway, this matter is my fault, you won't give birth to me angry?"

Qingling said: "No matter what, I will not complain to the princess."

Liu Ninghuan suddenly reached out, grabbed Qing Ling's wrist, and said, "How about this?"

Qingling said, "No."

Liu Ninghuan's fingers were inserted between Qingling's, and she was holding them in a gesture of interlocking fingers. "how about this?"

Qingling said, "No."

The more Qingling is neither humble nor overbearing, the more Liu Ninghuan wants to bully her.

Liu Ninghuan put the other hand on Qingling's chest, and even felt a softness.This action was too obscene, Qingling didn't respond, but Liu Ninghuan couldn't help but blush.

Liu Ninghuan said: "How about this, aren't you angry?"

Qing Ling lowered her eyes to cover her expression, and shook her head slightly.

Plop - plop - plop plop - plop plop -

The heartbeat was transmitted to the palm, and Liu Ninghuan could clearly feel that Qingling's heart was beating very fast.She guessed that Qing Ling had reached the limit of her patience, and if she went too far, she would kill someone.

So Liu Ninghuan let go of both hands, held the chess piece to play, and said, "You know my reputation. You have a bright future in acting. You should be angry if I restrain you."

Qingling didn't speak.

Liu Ning sighed happily, thinking: Ching Ling probably didn't understand what I said.

Judging from Liu Ninghuan's superficial experience in writing novels, there is something wrong with Qing Ling's "personal design".As a new Huadan who has just emerged, Qing Ling was detained by the powerful in the mansion, and she could no longer participate in her beloved singing career... This is a kind of humiliation no matter how you look at it, Qing Ling should be angry.But Qinglingtai/An Zhiruosu, resigned herself... If Princess Pingzhen hadn't been impaled, wouldn't she have already seen something wrong?

Liu Ninghuan felt that she was very selfish. She knew Qingling's current situation and intentions clearly, but she hoped that Qingling could act more like a "real person" in front of her.

Whether it is love or hate, she hopes that Qing Ling's emotions come from the heart, not the progress of the task.

While feeling melancholy, Qingling said: "There will be a big play in the garden next to Spring in two days, would you like to go see it?"

Liu Ninghuan said: "You didn't sing it, it's not interesting."

With Liu Ninghuan's level of appreciation, in fact, even if it was sung by Qing Ling, she would still find it boring.

Qingling turned her head and still just asked her: "If I go to sing, would the princess want to watch it?"

Liu Ninghuan turned her head to look carefully at Qingling's expression.

Under the candlelight, Qing Ling's eyes seemed to be filled with wine, sparkling with sparkling waves and infinite charm.Rao Liu Ninghuan had been moved by Qingling countless times, but at this moment, her heart was still bumping like a girl in first love.

This expression is very real, it really looks like——

A girl wants to show her most beautiful side to her sweetheart.
