Chapter 286: When Have I Ever Joked

"I originally thought that the two of you would come back together, but I didn't expect you to stagger one after the other, so it's okay, presumably Nan Dinghou won't do anything for the time being. ”

"Can the Marquis of Nanding be in the palace now?" Su Qing frowned thoughtfully, and the queen nodded: "The emperor has already arranged a palace in the palace for him to live temporarily. Nothing has happened lately. ”

Su Qing looked at the queen and wanted to ask about the matter between Nan Dinghou and the eldest princess several times, but in the end, she still swallowed her words.

Su Qing didn't get up to say goodbye until it was getting late, her carriage was still waiting at the palace gate, and she had to rush back before it got dark.

Xiao Jingchen was already on her way back, and it seemed that she and Nan Dinghou had to meet as soon as possible, but they hadn't received a reply from him since the last time.

One day will be Su Heng's wedding day, and Su Qing doesn't want any accidents at this time.

She got out of the palace smoothly, and sat in the carriage thinking about these things, and before she knew it, the carriage had deviated from the main road.

By the time she realized it, the carriage had stopped, and there was a large lake with several boats floating on it.

She had obviously told the coachman to go back to the Zhanwang Mansion, but it seemed that someone had dropped her bag halfway, Su Qing got out of the car with a calm expression and looked around.

I don't know how many people lurking around here and how many pairs of eyes are staring at her, but she is not in a hurry at the moment and walks to the lake, where a small boat is waiting.

"Princess, please. The plainly dressed boatman recognized her at a glance and invited her aboard.

As soon as Su Qing stepped on the side of the boat, the hull of the boat shook, she stabilized her mind and jumped up, at this time her heart shook like this small boat, as if it would sink at any time.

The boat sailed to the side of the largest flower boat in the center of the lake and stopped, there was a staircase next to the boat, and Su Qing raised his feet and walked up.

The boat looked very funny, there were two girls guarding the stairs, and they were about to reach out to help her but Su Qing avoided it.

"Where's your master, take me to him." ”

"She is worthy of being a princess of war, she can still be so calm and relaxed at this time, and her courage is not ordinary. A man clapped nearby.

Su Qing turned his head and saw Nan Dinghou dressed in regular clothes, he was standing aside and squinting at Su Qing, with a smile in his eyes.

"Nanding's method of waiting for people to be guests is also extraordinary, I have never been to this lake, and the scenery is really pleasant today. ”

Su Qing's heart was pounding, but she knew that at this moment, she had to be calm, and she must not show her timidity first.

"Ben Hou has already prepared good wine and food, Princess Zhan, please. Nan Dinghou's expression was also uncertain, and the two of them probed each other.

Su Qing followed him into the flower boat, which was even more fragrant and luxuriously decorated, and this flower boat would probably cost a lot of silver to charter one night.

The table by the window has indeed been set up with wine and food, you can watch the beautiful scenery outside the window and drink and have fun, Su Qing is not restrained, and goes straight over to open his robe and sit down.

"Since Nan Dinghou already knows my identity, then we don't have to hide it, let's get straight to the point. ”

Nan Dinghou raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Qing, with a little unclear meaning in his eyes: "Okay, Ben Hou likes to be cheerful, but there is another question, does the princess of war know when she comes to meet Ben Hou and the king of war?"

"He didn't know. Su Qing replied quickly and firmly, "Even that letter was sent when he didn't know it, but I really want to know, how did Nanding Hou know that the person who sent the letter was me and not the prince?"

"It's very simple, if he wants to meet me in the capital. Never just send a letter. Nan Dinghou smiled and picked up the wine glass: "Although you try your best to imitate his handwriting, there are some things you can't learn." ”

Su Qing almost forgot that the person in front of him must have a very thorough understanding of Xiao Jingchen.

"Then if it were the prince, what would he do?"

"He will go straight back to the capital and wait for me. Nan Dinghou always spoke with a melodious tone, as if he was recalling something, and even his eyes were a little foggy.

Su Qing frowned, the boat floated slowly on the surface of the lake, looking at the sparkling water in the distance.

"Since Nan Dinghou has the intention to join forces with the prince, why can't he even show up in person with such sincerity? With just a few letters, the prince will take such a big risk, if you do something in the middle at that time, won't we lose both front and back?"

"Then why are you willing to come to see Ben Hou again?" Nan Dinghou looked at the woman in front of him, her makeup was elegant but she couldn't hide her alluring color, and she could still stay so calm in this situation, which was already the best among the women he had ever seen.

"Have you given me a chance not to see you?" Su Qing suddenly smiled, and his eyebrows and eyes shone brightly, making Nan Dinghou distracted.

But it was only for a moment, and he quickly regained his senses, this woman was not as easy to deal with as he imagined.

In fact, from the very beginning, when she dared to send him a letter under Xiao Jingchen's nose, he realized that this woman was not ordinary.

"Ben Hou is just curious, what is the princess asking me to meet in the capital for?"

"Negotiate a deal, of course. ”

It was already late to get off the flower boat, and Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he stepped on the ground.

The wind by the lake was strong, blowing the hem of her skirt, and she did not look back, but walked step by step to her carriage.

Su Qing knew that Nan Dinghou must be standing at the bow of the boat at this time, looking at her, and there were a lot of people arranged by him around here, maybe with just one look from him, she would not be able to return to the War King's Mansion alive.

But in the end, she also got into the carriage and left this place, and Su Qing heard her heartbeat soothe a little.

It wasn't until she returned to the Battle King's Mansion and closed the door that she couldn't help but stop, held on to the pillar next to her, and took a few deep breaths before relieving herself.

"Where have you been, why did you come back so late?" Murong Yanran didn't know where it came from, Su Qing was startled, and the moment she turned around and met her eyes, Murong Yanran was startled.

Her face was a little too pale, and the sharpness in her eyes was like a sharp knife nailing her to the spot, not daring to take another step.

"Y-What's wrong with you? What's going on?"

"Nothing, just a little tired. Su Qing lowered her eyes and turned her head and walked towards her yard.

Murong Yanran had the courage to follow: "Where have you been so late?Did you go to see the prince?Where is he?You tell me I'll go to find him myself......"

"He's in Northern Zhou City. Su Qing's face was expressionless, she just went to find it if she liked, what did it matter to her?

"Northern Zhou City...... I can't get out of the capital now, you must be working together to deceive me, bullying me alone in the capital and having no one to support me. ”

Murong Yanran deliberately pretended to be pitiful, and Su Qing, who had just finished speaking, suddenly stopped, turned around and stared straight at her.

"Who was that guy in your house that night?"
