There was a sudden 'snap' sound, and Lian Xing, who had not yet reacted, covered her right cheek and looked at Xia Xueqing in surprise, and the corner of her mouth had already left a rainbow.

"Noble status, good character, stunning beauty, the first beauty... It's like you've seen it with your own eyes. Did you mean to say this to me? You slut, I'll let you eat inside and out! Xia Xueqing's willow eyebrows were upside down, and she raised her hand to slap Lianxing again.

Lianxing was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and couldn't stop kowtowing and begging for mercy, "County Lord, County Lord, the slave and maid didn't mean it, the slave and maid were wrong, please calm the county lord's anger." ”

Where would Xia Xueqing listen, her jealousy of Princess Huaibi had made her lose her mind.

Lian Xing said intermittently: "The county lord punched and kicked me like crazy, and I didn't dare to resist. No matter how much I begged for mercy, it didn't help. zuihou she looked at my face and said that I had a foxy face, and at first glance I was born to seduce men. So she took out the scissors and poked me in the face, and I resisted desperately, and the more fierce she poked. I don't know how many times I was poked in the face, but I tried my best to cover my eyes so that I didn't get poked. I don't know how many beatings I have received. Later, when it was dark, I didn't know anything. ”

Hearing this, Ruan Ge already understood. She had learned Xia Xueqing's methods before, and she was definitely a ruthless master, and she was not surprised at all now to see that Lianxing was tossed like this by her.

Xia Xueqing, a woman, Ruan Ge once thought that she had psychological problems, perverted and violent tendencies, but now it confirms her thoughts.

Mercy recalled the nightmarish memory, tears already rolling down, soaking the gauze on her head, and her hands subconsciously clutched the sheets.

Ruan Ge stroked her pale and cold hand, and couldn't help but sigh for the unfairness of fate for this poor girl.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, let's not talk about those things again. Just like it was a nightmare, now the nightmare is over, it's all right. Ruan Ge comforted her softly and wiped her tears.

Lian Xing looked at Ruan Ge gratefully, but he choked up and couldn't make a sound.

Ruan Ge only saw that the tears of the poor star continued to flow out of his eyes, silently, and that kind of silence made people feel a kind of painful depression in their hearts.

Ruan Ge knew that it would be too pale to say anything at this time, and this kind of mental and physical pain could only be healed slowly by time.

Walking out of the house where Pixing was recuperating, the bright sunshine was in front of him, but he couldn't completely drive away the haze that shrouded Ruan Ge's heart.

Yiwang's Mansion, back garden.

"Lord Wang, go back, the weather is cold, and your body is not well yet." Yun Luo said softly on the side, but there was a hint of depression in his eyes.

Bihe Pond, a pool of clear water, sparkling in the sun. There was a wind blowing on his face, blowing ripples on the surface of the water, just like Ning Mingyu's mood at this time.

Ning Mingyu had been standing on the white jade platform in the heart of the pond for a long time, his face was abnormally white after a long illness, and the white robe he was wearing was turning up and down in the wind, as if he would rise against the wind at any time.

With obsidian eyes, deep and waveless, he looked down at the water as if he could see through the deepest part of the water.

The scene of the night before entering the palace, Ning Mingyu still remembers it vividly.

It was on the stone platform on the Bihe Pond, and that person's words seemed to be right next to the ear, and the Bihe Pond at that time was full of residual lotus.

At that time, he said: "The pool is full of residual lotus, it is better not to see it." ”

But she said, "I don't think so, sometimes you have to know how to appreciate such a view." Broken is its beauty, like a swan song that is far better than color and far better than incense. It is a kind of poignancy, a poignancy full of confidence and arrogance hidden in those broken and withered, but also an unyielding silence. ”

At this time, there was no trace of residual lotus in the blue lotus pond, and it was completely fished out by the gardener.

But he remembered that night vividly. At that time, the moon shone on her, depicting a gentle outline, she smiled quietly, and the moonlight poured down on the city, and the beauty was thrilling. So much so that he didn't believe it himself, he was obsessed with it.

Yun Luo also remembered the night before entering the palace, because there were three people in Bihe Pond at that time, including her. She witnessed everything that had happened before Ning Mingyu and Ruan Ge.

Ning Mingyu recovered from a serious illness, and after walking out of the door, he insisted on coming here, which made Yun Luo faintly know the reason in his heart.

Yun Luo looked at Ning Mingyu's motionless back from behind, emaciated, weak, and cold. She resisted the urge to hug him from behind and turned her face to look into the distance.

Suddenly, Yun Luo seemed to have noticed something in the distance, so he wanted to remind him. was stopped by Ning Mingyu. He said in a low voice, "Pretend you didn't find anything." Help me back. ”

Ning Mingyu turned around and walked back, a cold wind blew, and he coughed violently. Yun Luo hurriedly helped him and helped him caress his chest, he gasped for breath, and almost half of the weight of his body was leaning on Yun Luo.

Although Yun Luo was very struggling, being so close to Ning Mingyu made her a little flustered and flattered. The man leaning against her exuded a crisp and elegant smell, and some of the jet-black hair was scattered over her shoulders, making her heart shake in her chest a few times, and finally it didn't jump out.

The man was finally willing to be so close to her, and the corners of her mouth curled up faintly.

Helping Ning Mingyu staggered forward, leaving the Bihe Pond and turning the bamboo forest. Yun Luo only felt a cold on his shoulders, and Ning Mingyu straightened his body from Yun Luo and returned to normal.

"Go and call Uncle Qin to my study, I'll wait for him in the study." Throwing down a sentence, Ning Mingyu turned around and left.

Yun Luo stood in place and looked at the figure that was getting farther and farther away from him, and subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to grab the back in the sun, but there was only air, and Zuihou even disappeared from his back.

Uncle Qin walked into the study and saw that Ning Mingyu was sitting at the table at this time, so he bowed slightly.

"The envoy of the feudal subordination, how is the investigation?" Ning Mingyu asked in a deep voice.

Uncle Qin said: "Lord Yu, it has been three days since the envoy of Fengli arrived in Beijing, and the identity of the envoy who came this time is a little unusual, and his identity is noble. In the past three days, in addition to the emperor's private banquet to invite him, Wu Kun also met with Tu Guifei in private. Early yesterday morning, I went out in simple clothes and went to visit Xia Tianfeng again. He frequently came into contact with Tu's **, and the old man felt that there must be a conspiracy in it. ”

Ning Ming Yu said: "The prince of Fengli State wants to marry the son of the Tu family, of course, he must contact the Tu family frequently. My so-called brother should be very satisfied with this marriage! ”

Uncle Qin said: "I haven't seen King Duan come forward to see Wu Kun, but King Duan's side has been exceptionally quiet these days." I didn't see him go to Ronghua Gongzi's courtyard to harass Miss Ruan again. ”

Ning Mingyu listened, was silent for a while, and said, "How about Ronghua?" ”

"Except for going out to socialize recently, Gongzi Ronghua has been in the house to accompany Miss Ruan the rest of the time."

Ning Mingyu frowned.

Uncle Qin continued: "However, according to the spy report, I went to invite a doctor in the city in the middle of the night in the courtyard last night, and it seems that someone was seriously injured. ”

Ning Mingyu was taken aback and said coldly, "Who is injured?" ”
