Chapter 41: Princess Ning
Where Chen Yan'er hid his things, Lu Xiunian didn't know, so he could only wait for Chen Yan'er to wake up.
At least he wants to ensure Chen Yan'er's safety, whether it's because of that list or because of Chen Yan'er, it's unknown.
Lu Xiunian walked around at will, and Wei Qingqing did not give a restriction order to the two people, even if someone looked at Lu Xiunian unpleasantly, no one would stop Lu Xiunian.
In this way, walking around all the way, Lu Xiunian arrived at the edge of a pool.
The lotus pond in summer was in full bloom, and Lu Xiunian suddenly remembered the woman who left willingly just because of a pool of lotus flowers.
I don't know if it's my own illusion, among the lotus bushes, Lu Xiunian vaguely saw the figure of a woman, not Wei Qingqing, but not the woman in his memory.
Lu Xiunian thought that he was hallucinating, but when he chased the lotus leaf to the pool, he saw the woman sitting on the boat.
The woman was dressed in white, with her back to her direction, giving people a sense of cold and alienation, as if she was a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world.
Lu Xiunian just passed by the lotus bush and landed on the shore on the other side, it was okay to float on the water with light power, but he couldn't stop on the water with light power, after all, he was not a dragonfly who couldn't stand on the lotus leaf.
However, just a glimpse of the woman, the woman's shadow had already left in Lu Xiunian's heart, and when he went back to look for it, the person was gone.
Looking back and asking Wei Qingqing, Lu Xiunian thought, and his steps had already gone back.

"A bunch of rubbish! The dignified Ning Wang's Mansion actually made people break in unnoticed!" In the study, a man yelled at several people opposite.
Several people trembled and prostrate on the ground, not daring to speak.
"Princess Ning was stabbed! This is the courtyard of my Ning Palace!" picked up a book and skimmed it down.
"I can't even catch a single figure after the incident! A bunch of rice buckets! What do you want to do!"
"Duan Yu!"
"Yes!" the succinct answer seemed to match the shape of his resolute face.
"50 boards for one person! Whoever dares to release water will no longer have to be an errand in King Ning's Mansion!"
Throwing up his sleeves and leaving, he didn't pay any attention to Duan Yu's desire to say anything.
Prince Ning, who is as gentle as jade on weekdays, suddenly became furious, and everyone was in danger at the same time, but some people in the know understood that the prince was assassinated one after another because of his henchmen.
The few people below waited until King Ning walked out of the door before they realized that their clothes were wet. But for them, this is already a gift from King Ning. 50 boards aren't enough to kill them.
"Duan Gongzi. A younger man was the first to speak. "Duan Gongzi, it's because we don't do things well, Duan Gongzi doesn't have to be embarrassed"
The rest of the people nodded their heads when they heard this.
Duan Yu looked at the person who spoke, his name was Mo Lin, he was a newcomer last month, the person who was personally led into the mansion by the prince, the master of the drunken door.
He was also a smart man, nodded and walked out.
Morin raised an eyebrow, a little starlight in his peach blossom eyes.
"Is the princess awake?" King Ning walked outside the Concubine Xue Pavilion and stopped Jinmei, who was walking out with the prescription.
"Not yet. ”
Glancing at the pharmacy in her hand, she frowned, "Go ahead"
"Yes"
At this time, although it is already past the depths of winter, the weather is still cold. Following the footsteps that had been stepped on, King Ning walked into the Concubine Snow Pavilion, and what caught his eye was the shocking redness. The red plum is proud, and the beautiful scenery in the past is particularly ironic in his opinion.
The second daughter of Shangshufu tried her best to marry him, she was really smart, but she couldn't change the fact that he didn't like her, Lin Xuanye liked her sister.
He admired smart women, but he didn't need too smart women to be his wife, and he was a little disgusted when he thought of her cruel methods. So I never gave her a good face.
I didn't expect it.,Unexpectedly.。。 Thinking of the scene where she blocked the sword for herself just now, I was slightly moved in my heart.
followed the path left by the red plum room, and walked step by step into the room he hadn't stepped into for a long time.
"King. . . Jin Ju walked out with a blood-stained basin of water, and almost bumped into King Ning, who was just about to enter.
"Lord Wang!" I haven't seen the prince step into the Concubine Snow Pavilion for a long time, and these girls are naturally used to it. I don't get used to seeing him occasionally.
"Hmm" looked at the blood in the basin, waved his hand, and Jin Ju retreated.
"Lord Wang!" "The maidservants in the house were all a little surprised when they saw King Ning coming, and they saluted respectfully, still not stopping the movements in their hands.
King Ning did not blame these maids for not having proper rules, but walked towards the garden table
"Lord Wang. "An elderly figure is particularly conspicuous in front of many maidservants.
"Imperial Physician Guo. Hurry up!" stopped him from saluting.
"Thank you, Lord Wang"
"How's the princess?"
Imperial Physician Guo shook his head, "Look at the will of heaven." If you wake up tonight, you can live, but you can't wake up,,," Guo Rongchen stopped talking.
"I know, Doctor Guo has worked hard. Duan Yu is outside the door, he will send you back"
Guo Rongchen nodded: "Lord Wang, the old minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
"Please speak"
"The reason why the princess has not woken up may be that she does not want to wake up. If the prince is fine, it is better to stay with the princess for a while" looked at King Ning's expression, and smiled again, "Oh, people are old, they just love to worry." The minister is talkative. Farewell, farewell," Guo Rongchen slowly walked out of the door with the medicine box on his back.
King Ning looked at his back thoughtfully.
"I'll come" King Ning walked to the back room, took the handkerchief in Jinlan's hand, and wiped the sweat from her head for her.
The rest of the people had already retreated under Jinlan's instructions, and only Jinlan was standing guard outside the door in case of emergency.
"Aren't you pretty powerful, why did you give up this time?" he tried to calm his tone, he knew that she couldn't die at the moment.
"If you don't wake up, how can you make me like you? Didn't you say that I would fall in love with you in three years? Why, I can't stand it? Then I'm going to write a letter of resignation. Thinking about the posture when she stopped herself from betting with herself at the beginning, she couldn't help laughing, "You, if you're not a concubine, maybe... ”
"Maybe what?" A familiar voice, Ning Wang looked up violently and saw her looking at him with her eyes open. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he always felt that something was different.
"Are you awake?" King Ning pulled out the hand she had just held.
"Mo Xuan, you. . . As if he had heard something shocking, King Ning looked at Mu Qingxue with a cold gaze. Mu Qingxue, who hadn't figured out the situation yet, was frightened by him. When I wanted to get up, I found a faint pain in my heart, and subconsciously reached out to cover it.
"This... That's when I saw what was around me. The bed collapsed, the futon, and the decoration was looked around. Look up again at the man who glared at him. Mu Qingxue's heart "chuckled", as if it had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
"Who are you?"
Looking at her eyes that seemed to be ignorant of the world, King Ning sneered, "What." The princess forgot about the king! too soon. "Walk into Mu Qingxue, grab her jaw" Say, who is Mo Xuan!"
His strength was so great that he pinched the bones of her jaw as if they were about to shatter. But it was useless for her to say anything now. I had to keep my mouth shut.
She forgot a lot of things.
"It hurts~" I couldn't help but cry. Looking at the corner of her eye, somehow she suddenly let go of her hand. But he slapped her hard.
Before Mu Qingxue could react, he had already walked out of the house. Only a purple corner of her clothes remained.
The hand slowly moved upwards and covered the beaten cheek. The blood stains on her chest grew thicker and thicker, until a large piece of her shirt was stained red and her eyes were blurred, and she slowly collapsed.
"Princess!" before she passed out, she saw a woman in pink running towards her, but she couldn't speak.
She had a long, long dream, dreaming of many strangers, and the figure of a man, who could not be seen. Dream that they are waiting for themselves to wake up. The pain in her chest was unabated, and she couldn't breathe in pain. Difficulty waking up.
I don't know how long it took, but she felt warm and no longer so cold.
Looking at the man's slowly relaxed eyebrows, Duan Yu breathed a long sigh of relief. It's okay, it's okay.
Let go of her hand and carefully tuck the corners of the quilt for her. Suddenly, a pair of slender hands came up, as if they coveted the warmth in his hands and didn't want to let go.
Smiled helplessly. The eyes are full of pampering.
"Brother Yu. You see, this is the pattern that my mother taught me to embroider" When he was a child, he was forced to become a slave of Shangshu Mansion because of his family's downfall, and the world was hot and cold, not to mention that he was just a subordinate, and everyone sneered at him, only she would stand up and speak for him and give him food and clothing. It was a bitter time, but he felt very happy.
Holding her hand with his backhand, he passed the warmth to her, and he looked at her greedily, looking at the woman who had always been in his heart by the faint moonlight. I just want to watch her quietly.
Three days later.
"Ahem. Her throat was a little dry, Mu Qingxue opened her eyes, "Water~"
"Princess, come. "It's the girl who called her before she died.
"Thank you" drank the water, and his throat felt better.
"Where is this?" Jinlan's hand holding the teacup shook and almost fell to the ground. I was a little surprised to look at her.
"Princess. . . What's wrong with you? This is King Ning's Mansion."
"Ning Wangfu?" Mu Qingxue smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, I may have lost my memory. I don't remember anything," symbolically rubbed his forehead. "My head hurts"
"Princess, don't scare the slave, what's wrong with you!" Jinlan squatted in front of her and looked at her.
"Who are you?"
...... Jinlan stopped talking, or she couldn't speak.
"Jinlan, is the princess awake?" Jinmei warmed up by the fire in the outer room
"Your name is Jinlan?" asked Mu Qingxue.
"Yes," he nodded in dismay.
After not seeing Jinlan's movement for a long time, Jinmei was a little uneasy, walked to the inner room, and saw the princess on the bed smiling at herself, Jinlan squatting on the ground, a little sluggish.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Mu Qingxue wake up, Jin Mei smiled without thinking too much, "Princess, are you awake?" I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some food for you. "Turn around and want to leave, just listen to "Wait!"
Jinmei smiled, walked in front of Mu Qingxue, and pushed Jinlan on her side, "Why is this soulless look, so you don't listen to it when you rest earlier." ”
The "princess" saluted.
"That, you keep talking about the princess, what princess?" Jin Lan froze when she heard the smile on her face, her eyes moved to Jin Lan beside her, and when she saw that the other party shook her head, Jin Lan frowned.
After listening to the words of the two, Mu Qingxue roughly sorted out her own affairs.
She is the fourth lady of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and she is a concubine. As for how to marry the queen's precious son, it is a wonderful thing.
————
Following Lin Xuanye's gaze, Duan Yu also saw that beautiful shadow, the figure that haunted him. Finally found her color again.
Lin Xuanye watched her approach him step by step, as if he saw the girl he met many years ago. The girl also had clean and stubborn eyes.
The girl also had the exact same black snow dress as this one. is not as dazzling as Mu Qingxue, but it is the sun of his youth. Accompany him through difficult years. It's just that I haven't seen her in years. To this day, he still thinks of her dancing in the moonlight, lingering.
"Lord Wang!" leaned over and saluted, and his every move was naturally elegant.
"Hmm" Lin Xuanye came back to his senses, his eyes fell on Mu Qingxue's face, her delicate cheeks were somewhat similar to that girl, and she was in a trance for a while.
Mu Qingxue looked at his outstretched hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally put his hand up.
Her palms are smooth and delicate, how could she be the girl with calloused hands, laughing at herself in her heart. That girl may be gone. It's all because of him.
Duan Yu looked at her hand and frowned slightly. Look away.
"Congratulations to the prince, princess. "Jinlan, Jinzhu people watched Mu Qingxue and Jinmei leave.
Not far away, a woman dressed in green looked in the direction of the carriage and smiled with satisfaction.
She remembered that the woman had found her and wanted her to change her skin.
At that time, she lived in the barren mountains and mountains, and it was not easy to find her, and it was even more difficult for her to heal. But when she saw the girl standing in front of her covered in blood, her eyes full of determination, her heart softened. Known as a cold-faced doctor fairy, she relented for the first time. She felt sorry for this twelve-year-old girl, because the pain of changing her skin was very unimaginable, but she did not shed a single tear. She wanted to give her a decoction, but she refused.
To this day, she still remembers the way she clenched the bones of the beast and tears of pain swirled in her eyes. The bones of the beast were crushed by her, but the tears never fell.
Years have passed, and she is still so stubborn and infatuated.
In the carriage, there was silence, only the sound of two people breathing. Sitting oppositely, Mu Qingxue sat upright, listening to the hustle and bustle on Chang'an Street outside the car, a little curious, and subconsciously opened the curtain.
Chang'an Avenue is bustling, with busy traffic and the sound of bargaining one after another.
It's hard to imagine how lively Chang'an Avenue will be at night.
Suddenly, the words of the Past Pavilion caught her eye.
It was an exquisite building, with red walls and green tiles, somewhat old, and different from the houses around it. It looks out of place in this noisy street market. It's like a master who is escaping the world and looking at the ignorance of the world. , quiet and profound.
