The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 289 King Xuan’s great benefactor!

Ning Que went to see Xu Zhi again after the court meeting.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that neither of them showed any signs of illness.

"Your Majesty ordered someone to find the woman who returned to Beijing with Mr. Fang and behaved very closely." Ning Que directly explained the purpose of his visit.

Xu Zhi said in surprise: "You mean my niece?"

Ning Que said: "I'm afraid... They suspect that Fang Shao brought the disease back from abroad."

"What should I do? If she is taken away by people from the government office, she is a weak woman and I'm afraid she will suffer a lot." Xu Zhi said worriedly.

Ning Que comforted her and said, "I'll come up with something... There's one more thing. Mr. Fang's real sweetheart is named Huiniang. Mr. Fang hid her very well and couldn't find out her identity. If it weren't for Fang Shao's love, he really couldn't bear it. Just keep showing off. I’m afraid no one knows this Hui Niang exists.”

Xu Zhi sighed: "It's useless to know this now. Since everyone is dead anyway, Qianru won't miss him anymore."

Ning Que said: "A woman with an unknown identity is a bit strange..."

"What's weird?"

Ning Que didn't elaborate. He just felt that this incident had a strong smell of someone manipulating it behind the scenes.

Ning Que was anxious to go back and find a way out for Xu Qianru, so he didn't stay long.

Now that Xu Zhi's attitude toward him is showing signs of loosening, it's a very good thing. How can it be this day and night?

"Wait." Xu Zhi called him as usual.

Ning Que turned around, thinking that she was going to take out some snacks and ask him to bring them.

Xu Zhi handed him a medicine bag and said: "My family used to run a medicine shop. But I was young and playful, and I still don't understand medicine. I only vaguely know that if you use Schisandra chinensis, you can make your body strong and avoid disasters. …”

Ning Que couldn't hide his excitement and took the medicine package with both hands: "I know Madam's thoughts."

Xu Zhi originally wanted him to get out of here.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them.

Ning Que grabbed the medicine bag and climbed over the wall with more energy. Didn't he look like he was about to get sick?

He went to see Mr. Lin at night.

Mr. Lin has been working hard in Beijing for many years, and because of their relationship with Princess Xuan, the two of them are so close that they can entrust each other with important matters.

Now all he needs to do is use his brains and Mr. Lin's connections to save Xu Qianru from danger...

"Okay, Mr. Ning, you can rest assured. Even for Princess Xuan's sake, I will definitely handle this matter properly."

Mr. Lin sighed as he spoke, and said: "I heard that Princess Xuan was going to return to the capital some time ago, so I hurried back to the capital, thinking that I would meet again if I had the chance. Now that something like this has happened, Princess Wan Wangxuan is here It’s better not to be burdened along the way…”

Mr. Lin pulled Ning Que's sleeve again and said, "It's okay. Fortunately, I returned to Beijing and I have Ning Gong to help me. We will definitely be able to save the Xu family... But Ning Gong works so hard..."

As Mr. Lin talked, he seemed to have finally discovered something was wrong.

He suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Ning Que: "Ning Gong actually..."

Ning Que let out a breath, not wanting to be known to outsiders.

But he couldn't hold it back, and he actually wanted to let others know that he was closer to Xu Zhi now... He was so proud that he couldn't hide it from the corners of his eyebrows.

Thinking back to the fact that Mr. Lin was rescued by Princess Xuan because of the Crown Princess, he is now an ironclad member of Prince Xuan's party.

Ning Que was not prepared to hide it any longer...

He opened his mouth: "Yes, I..."

Before Ning Que finished speaking, Mr. Lin pointed at him and said with great shock: "You actually want to be the father of His Highness Prince Xuan!"

Ning Que: "..." That's right.

"Ning Gong is really... so ambitious!"

Ning Que smiled bitterly in his heart. What a big ambition? I just hope that in the future King Xuan and Princess Xuan will know about it and just don’t break his legs...

In the next few days, Xu Qianru was not disturbed at all.

How could the Puyang Marquis Mansion conceal the fact that they wanted to propose marriage to the Xu family? In fact, you can tell by looking it up.

But no one came to the Xu family's door to ask for anyone.

Xu Zhi finally felt at ease.

When she saw Ning Que in the evening, she couldn't hide the smile on her face. She has obviously given birth to a pair of children, but now she is really happy, and she actually has the attitude of a little daughter.

As soon as Ning Que landed, he was dazzled by the smile on her face.

"Madam..." He just started to raise his head.

Xu Zhi took the initiative to take a step forward and praised: "You are really capable. No one came to arrest Qianru."

Ning Que said: "That Huiniang was captured by the county captain."

Xu Zhi understood: "Since Fang Shao's friends only knew Huiniang, they simply led them to Huiniang. So in the end, Huiniang was taken away? This move is really..."

She hasn't said the word "awesome" yet.

Ning Que shook his head and said, "No, this is not my handwriting. Now think carefully about the confession of the county captain at that time. From the beginning, he was trying to lure Huiniang."

Xu Zhi was stunned, it was really difficult to understand the twists and turns.

"A Huiniang whose identity is unknown and who only exists in other people's mouths has been caught like this." Ning Que paused, "It can be seen that Huiniang is just a chess piece to promote the situation."

Xu Zhi: "Chess piece?"

She became even more confused.

Why is this a chess piece?

Ning Que showed a look of understanding: "This epidemic in Beijing, the person playing chess... is King Xuan."

"What?" How come it has anything to do with her good son-in-law?

Xu Zhi wondered: "How can we play chess when others are not in the capital?"

"Yes, this is exactly his brilliance..."

This is also the terrifying thing about him. But Ning Que swallowed the second half of the sentence.

Ning Que noticed the confusion on Xu Zhi's face and patiently explained to her: "Whether it's Fang Shao or the other county magistrate's daughter who came to propose marriage. You also know there is a conspiracy."

"good."

"Your Highness must also know that this is for Prince Xuan's palace. But can His Highness directly give an order not to allow my family to marry other families in the capital?"

"……cannot."

Ning Que nodded: "Yes, this is too overbearing. The Xu family may not listen, and they may even wonder why you only allow your daughters to flourish and not allow them to stand up and jump over the dragon gate.

"So when Fang Shao approached Miss Xu, Hui Niang also approached Fang Shao.

"It is certainly effective to use Huiniang to expose Fang Shao's true face. But Miss Xu will definitely feel very painful. She will always doubt that she is not worthy of being liked by others, and others have other motives for treating her well. What's more, she rejected her How can we reject Fang Shao, the daughter of a county magistrate? Do we need to have someone like Hui Niang next to us?"

Ning Que said this in one breath, his breathing suddenly became lighter, and then he said slowly: "He asked Fang Shao to die to induce bone steaming disease."

“When an epidemic occurs, it is normal for a few more people to die.

"Who is not afraid of death? Within two or three months, no one dared to come to the door to seek matchmaking. After two or three months, the disease disappeared and the freedom to marry was not affected at all."

"Hui Niang also prepared it early in the morning. No one will be wronged on Miss Xu."

"But it's not enough..."

Ning Que was lost in thought as he spoke, and whispered: "King Xuan is using the epidemic as a cover, he will never stop just to deal with these people... What else does he want to use Hui Niang to lure out, what does he want... to do?"

After all, Ning Que still knew too little about King Xuan.

Although he stood in King Xuan's camp, the two sides had never really communicated.

Ning Que realized that he had neglected Xu Zhi and quickly raised his head to look at her.

But he saw Xu Zhi looking at him.

"I talked too much to myself..." Ning Que said apologetically.

Xu Zhi waved her hand cheerfully: "I understand a little bit. No matter what, as long as this is King Xuan's handwriting, then I don't have to worry about Qingyin's safety."

Ning Que immediately relaxed: "Yes, don't worry. His Highness Prince Xuan...should take good care of her."

After Ning Que finished speaking, he found that Xu Zhi was still looking at him, and his breathing suddenly became lighter.

"Madam...why are you looking at me? Is it because I messed up my hair today?" Ning Que became nervous.

Xu Zhi said: "I see something is different about you."

Ning Que became even more nervous: "What's the difference?"

Xu Zhi said nothing.

What's the difference? Very different from Xue Chengdong.

Naturally, she and Xue Chengdong once really liked each other. But she was born in a merchant family, and her knowledge was shallow. The love of young people gradually faded with age, and the only thing left was that the two of them could not talk to each other.

Xue Chengdong knew that she didn't understand the court affairs.

She also couldn't bear to deal with the dispute over the Xue family's back house.

They don't talk about it...

Ning Que's strange thing was that he knew Xu Zhi didn't understand, but he still wanted to tell her.

"I still want to thank you." Xu Zhi said.

"This is King Xuan's clever plan. I couldn't put in the effort, so there is no need for you to thank me, madam."

"No matter how powerful King Xuan is, I can't see through his methods. I will always worry about him."

Ning Que moved his lips, and he understood what she meant.

What she thanked was his strong comfort.

A sudden thought came to Ning Que's mind, and he asked shamelessly: "My affection for my wife..."

Xu Zhi couldn't sit still, probably because she couldn't bear to hear such disgusting words.

Ning Que carefully finished the second half of the sentence: "In addition to the people around the madam who know it...does Princess Xuan also know it?"

Xu Zhi was a little embarrassed, but still said: "Yes, Qingyin noticed it early in the morning." She said, gritting her teeth: "You should also hide it..."

Xue Chengdong could see it at a glance.

If Xue Chengdong hadn't pointed it out first, Qingyin probably wouldn't have told her, and she couldn't tell when she would know.

Ning Que asked again: "The closeness between the princess and Prince Xuan must mean that there are few secrets between the two of them."

Xu Zhi said: "It should be."

Ning Que laughed: "This is killing two birds with one stone."

Xu Zhi's face was full of confusion: "What?"

Ning could not contain his excitement. He bowed and bowed in the direction outside the capital and said, "His Royal Highness, King Xuan, is a great kindness that I will never forget."

Only in times of crisis can we see the true feelings and test out our sincerity.

Without this opportunity, he might have had to wait eight hundred years before he could have a wife.

Xu Zhi was confused when she saw his movements.

What a great favor?

Why didn't Ning Que explain it in detail to her now?
