Chapter 44 Reputation
"Old Madam Ning?" Xia Ruqian was a little surprised, and her eyes widened slightly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"The old man has seen the princess."
"Old Madam Ning, please hurry up, I don't know what to do when you visit late at night?"
"Go down, the old man has something important to discuss with the princess."
All the blessings withdrew.
There were only two people left in the room, Xia Ruqian and Mrs. Ning.
"Today's visit is for the princess's reputation." Mrs. Ning is serious and bitter.
Xia Ruqian was a little puzzled and asked, "Old Madam Ning's words, I don't understand it. ā
"The old body is here for the victimization of the princess a few days ago. The old body knew that the princess had amnesia, and he didn't remember much about what happened, but the old body had already asked Qing'er, and Qing'er decided that she didn't want to harm the princess, but she was innocently implicated. The old body was very heartbroken, there were people so bold, and after careful questioning, they found out that it was Qing'er's personal maid Beiyan who made a ghost. ā
It is really embarrassing for Mrs. Ning to be able to tell a lie so truthfully and sincerely!
But it's a pity that an innocent life was lost.
Xia Ru pursed his lips and asked, "Beiyan?" ā
"Yes, Beiyan protects the lord and knows that Qing'er likes the princess, so she wants to frame the princess!"
Xia Ruqian was a little angry, but she still endured it.
"In this case, just submit the matter to the Zongfu, how could Old Madam Ning come here?"
"Yesterday, the Queen Mother lost a golden hairpin and killed a group of palace maids and eunuchs with a rod, such a trivial matter of stealing chickens and dogs will cost people's lives, not to mention such a big event as framing the princess!"
Killed a group of palace maids and eunuchs?
Is it possible?
Hongmei Yan's palace maids and eunuchs have all been executed?
And at this time, I lost my memory again!
Shouldn't this be considered a dead and unopposed?!
What a good idea.
Xia Ruqian raised her eyes, and looked at Old Madam Ning's somewhat concave face under the flickering candlelight.
Old Madam Ning didn't avoid it and looked straight back: "Since it's not Qing'er's fault, the old man is a lot more relieved, but? ā
"Since Qing'er is innocent, Old Madam Ning can rest assured, so why be anxious?" Xia Ruqian was very sarcastic.
"The old body is not worried about Ning Qing, but the princess."
"Shallow things, don't bother Old Madam Ning to worry about it!" Xia Ruqian turned around and was about to send off the guests.
However, Mrs. Ning's cheek, how can you turn around and send a guest to deal with it?!
"Qing'er said that it was the princess who was in the small courtyard that day, and there was no doubt that the princess was not only incapable of dispersing, but also suffered from spring poison." Mrs. Ning's words seem to be an understatement, but every word is important.
Xia Ruqian raised his head suddenly, and felt that he was moving too much, so he smiled and stroked the long hair on his chest: "Oh? Is it? I don't remember! ā
"If you let everyone know, it was the princess who was in the same room with the strong man that day, and the princess was also poisoned by spring poison. Dare to ask the princess, what should the world think? ā
"There is no basis for words, but there is evidence?" Xia Ruqian's heart suddenly tightened, and her nails sank deep into her palms.
Old Madam Ning smiled indifferently: "As long as it is poison, there will be traces to follow, even if it has been detoxified, after a few days, it will never disappear without a trace." ā
Xia Ruqian raised her eyebrows, although she was reluctant, but she knew that Old Madam Ning was right, she lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then raised her head and asked, "So, what does Old Madam Ning mean?" ā
"Since it's a misunderstanding, it's just a matter of solving it. Beiyan made a mistake and offended the princess, she would have to cut it with a thousand knives, Qing'er could also show her guilt if she shouted injustice, and the princess could also take herself out cleanly! ā
"What does Old Madam Ning mean to make Qianqian think that she is unlucky?"
"The princess has to think about it, it is important to be angry for a while, or to be innocent for a lifetime." Old Madam Ning slowed down, stepped forward and took the princess's hand, very affectionate: "Qing'er has cleared her grievances, and she doesn't want to live in Kyoto anymore, the old man thinks it's better to send her to another courtyard in Jiangnan to relax, the princess thinks it's good?" ā
A wave of anger arose. Xia Ruqian almost roared.
However, it's not time yet.
Xia Ruqian smiled slightly, and took Mrs. Ning's hand: "That is the case, just as Mrs. Ning Lai said." ā
"The old man thanked the princess."
Old Madam Ning poked her crutches, and immediately a maidservant girl came in, helped her put on the cloak and hat, and helped her out.
Ning Shangshu's carriage was waiting at the gate of the palace.
Old Madam Ning got into the carriage, and Ning Shangshu immediately asked, "How is it?" ā
"It's still the old man who is resourceful, and that Xia Ruqian is just a milky little hairy child, so don't worry."
"That's good, Qing'er can come back now."
"However, does the master really want to send Qing'er to that Jiangnan?!"
"It's just a delaying tactic, and when this matter is forgotten, it's just a matter of taking it back."
The carriage staggered and headed towards Ningfu.
The Ning family was relieved, but Xia Ruqian lay on the bed but couldn't sleep.
After tossing and turning for a long time, I was holding back a fire in my heart, and my heart was still angry.
Just sit up, lean on the head of the bed and sigh.
"It's really unpredictable and fateful!"
When the Ninth Prince came in, he saw Xia Ruqian's bitter and hateful appearance, which was a little funny.
"Hehe, why doesn't the princess sleep yet?"
"Lord Wang?" Xia Ruqian raised his head, saw the Ninth Prince, and hurriedly got out of bed to greet him: "I've seen the Prince." It's so late, why didn't the prince sleep and came to me? ā
As soon as Xia Ruqian finished speaking, he immediately raised his eyes again: "But I learned that Old Madam Ning had come to this matter?" ā
"Well, Ning Shangshu also came with him. Since it is about your reputation, it is natural to be cautious. I heard that you have agreed to Mrs. Ning's proposal, so this king came to see you. ā
"I originally thought that even if the emperor and the queen mother were partial, they couldn't let them get out of the way and pick it so cleanly, it seems that I am still too simple."
"It's not just plain." The Nine Princes sat down and rolled his sleeves: "And it's not strong enough." ā
Xia Ruqian walked over, made tea and served it to the Nine Princes, and said jokingly: "I am the Ninth Princess, not strong enough?!" ā
"The strength of the nine princesses lies in the strength of this king, if it is a conflict of interests, it may have to be considered, but if it is a matter of life, you can give it a go. After all, the princess is just a princess, not the king. ā
"It's just a woman, why bother?"
"That being the case, then everyone can deceive and fool him."
Xia Ruqian frowned, a little displeased: "So what?" ā
"And for you, the real strength is not the Nine Princesses, but yourself, Xia Ruqian."
Xia Ruqian lowered his head, thought for a while, and raised his head to be full of stomach: "Lord Wang, you are willing to help Qianqian." ā
"This king does not run or avoid, if you need it, you can take it yourself."
On the second day, the Zongfu sent someone to invite, saying that it was to try the case of Hongmei Yan.
Above the court, in front of the emperor and the queen mother, Beiyan pleaded guilty.
Ning Qing was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall of the Ning family for one month for the crime of disadvantage under his rule, and immediately set off for Jiangnan after one month.
And Xia Ruqi argued that he panicked that day, and may have used the wrong force, and was beaten by the emperor with fifty boards as punishment.
"Since it's all a misunderstanding, it's good to solve it, it's a few days before the New Year, everyone is in harmony, and it is the right thing to be happy. Okay, the mourning family is tired, so be it. The Queen Mother seemed to be tired, put her hand on the back of Mama Li's hand and stood up, and finished as she walked.
