When he received the reply letter sent by Qin Feng, Xie Ning had lunch with the Hou Mansion and the others in the small hall of the East Wing.

This letter was quietly delivered to Mingshuang by the novice in the temple when no one was around. Xie Ning also waited until he returned to the room, and then he opened it to see.

Qin Feng's handwriting was as elegant as ever, but the content of the letter was not brief. Xie Ning glanced at it, and thought that Gu Qingyun's purpose for coming here was not simple, and his heart sank at the moment, and his brows furrowed without a trace.

"Miss, but what does the letter say?" Gu Sui, who didn't know the inside story, was very puzzled.

Xie Ning's eyes did not take his eyes off the gold-sprinkled paper in his hand, but only bowed slightly, and said perfunctorily: "It's just an ordinary letter, nothing serious." ”

Gu Sui's eyes flashed, he blinked in confusion, and turned his head to look in the direction of Mingshuang inquiringly. But after seeing that the other party glanced at her, he shook his head slightly, and then he was silent, and said no more.

The room was quiet for a moment, but Xie Ning's heart was still noisy, she pressed down her impetuous mood, and tried her best to lower her head and concentrate on reading the letter.

She just wanted to ask Qin Feng about Gu Qingyun's intention of coming to Fuwei Temple. But what she didn't expect was that although Qin Feng couldn't help her answer, he solved a puzzle for her that she wanted to ask but never said - what happened when Gu Qingyun met with Qin Feng yesterday.

It turned out that Qin Feng came out to meet at the request of Gu Qingyun, and Qin Feng had already made it clear to her about the matter between the two of them. And why she came to Fuwei Temple, Qin Feng didn't know anything about it.

Xie Ning understood what Qin Feng meant. After all, he had already told Gu Qingyun that he had another sweetheart, and now that Xu Banxia was also in Beijing, Gu Qingyun had already used the rumors in Beijing to make himself and Qin Feng both defeated, if he retreated without knowing the difficulty, I am afraid that it would inevitably be even more embarrassing in the end.

Although she didn't say anything to inquire, Qin Feng had already mentioned it inadvertently. It's really effortless, and I don't know if it's due to the tacit understanding between the two.

Thinking of this, Xie Ning, who was silently reading the words on the paper, couldn't help but smile, and after a while, he put the note written by Qin Feng back into the envelope.

"Miss." Mingshuang, who had been standing aside and watching silently, suddenly spoke. "It is better to give this letter to the slave maid to be destroyed."

When he heard this, Xie Ning was still holding the envelope in his hand, and subconsciously looked at Mingshuang, and repeated thoughtfully: "Destroy ......"

After all, the content of this letter is related to Gu Qingyun. If you are seen by others. I'm afraid it's not a good thing either.

She originally planned to leave Qin Feng's letter for copying. But what Mingshuang said was also reasonable, Xie Ning thought about it, so he had to decide to 'endure the pain and cut love'.

Before she could reach out and hand it to Mingshuang. The other party has said softly: "Miss is now a married person, although there is nothing wrong with the correspondence with the prince. But it will inevitably cause additional inconvenience - this letter should be handed over to the slave and maid to be destroyed. ”

Her words made Gu Sui hear it in a fog, but Xie Ning knew it in his heart, knowing that the other party's proposal was not because of Gu Qingyun, but for her to avoid suspicion.

Xie Ning asked herself if she had always acted frankly, and she didn't think it would be inappropriate to pass on a letter to Qin Feng, but after all, she was not a lady cultivated by a famous family, and there were still gaps in this Beijing custom, so she didn't say anything more, and nodded in response.

But at this time, she felt a little awkward in her heart. Not because of Mingshuang's actions, but simply because of the implicit avoidance of suspicion in her words.

Although the people of Daqin are open, after all, they are still men, and as a woman, even if they are in the position of female officials, they can't escape the end of husband and children. Xie Ning didn't think this was bad, but when he thought that he would no longer be able to drink and have fun with his friends around him in the future, and talk about everything, he couldn't help but feel a faint sourness in his heart.

"Miss?" Gu Sui has been with her for many years, although she is careless, but she knows Xie Ning's mind best, and when she saw her hanging her eyelashes and standing silently in place, she sensed that something was wrong.

Xie Ning lowered his expression, and then raised his head as if nothing had happened, and said in a slightly low voice: "It's nothing." ”

Mingshuang's eyes flashed, and he took Xie Ning's demeanor into his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and used his afterglow to see Gu Sui's eyes for help. She ignored it, walked to the table by herself, and lit the red wax on the candlestick with a fire fold, and burned the letter with Qin Feng's dashing handwriting to ashes.

Xie Ning didn't look over, he felt that this scene was a little dazzling for no reason, so he glanced at Gu Sui, and suddenly said, "I'll go outside." ”

"Then I'll go with Miss." Gu Sui was simple-minded, but although she couldn't guess why Xie Ning was abnormal at this time, she could sense her young lady's low mood at this time, so she hurriedly spoke up and followed Xie Ning.

Although Xie Ning was in a bad mood at this time, she was not arrogant and arrogant who would take advantage of the people around her, with Gu Sui by her side, she had to make a casual appearance and suppress the chaotic thoughts in her heart for the time being.

Unexpectedly, she and Gu Sui had only walked two steps, and then they saw Gu Qingyun who had just walked from the other end of the East Chamber.

The other party is not alone, in addition to the two maids who followed behind her, there are two sisters Gao Yiyao and Gao Yiyan standing on her left and right respectively.

Seeing the three people who came hand in hand, Xie Ning was not in a good mood, although it did not make it worse because of this, but it was really difficult to call it happy.

In the same West Chamber, the three people who got closer and closer naturally saw her. However, Xie Ning didn't have the intention of going forward to entertain at this time, so he just stood in place, nodded politely at them, and after doing his best, he was about to turn around and leave.

"Sister Xie."

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingyun's soft call came, Xie Ning had to stop helplessly, walked in her direction, and stood just three feet in front of her, looking at the impeccable and decent smile on the other party's face, he had to laugh and say, "Sister Gu is looking for me, is there something wrong?" ”

Gu Qingyun blinked, the smile on her face did not decrease, and she said to Xie Ning in a mocking voice: "I still ask why I appeared in the temple?" ”

If it was placed in the past, Xie Ning didn't know that Gu Qingyun secretly ordered people to spread rumors. When damaging Qin Feng's reputation for his own selfish interests, there may be some possibilities to make inquiries. But now that she has known the true face of the other party, she still feels a little uncomfortable even if she is a hypocritical snake, and it is really difficult to befriend her as if she doesn't know anything about it.

That's why Xie Ning only nodded slightly, and answered quietly: "I saw Sister Gu yesterday, Xie Ning really didn't expect you to appear here today." ”

As soon as her voice fell, Gao Yiyao, who was standing on the side, was in the eye. Although Xie Ning didn't notice this, he keenly noticed that her breathing was a little heavier, and subconsciously looked at her. The other party was already bowing his head and lowering his eyes. The look on his face fell.

"I just want to surprise you," Gu Qingyun smiled very naturally, as if she had never noticed Xie Ning's alienated attitude, and said to herself: "Actually, I heard Yan'er mention this matter a few days ago. I decided to stay in Fuwei Temple for a few days. After all. Mrs. Gao is also my elder. ”

Shainin didn't want to talk to her more. After a little nodding, he was ready to leave. But who knew that before she could speak, Gu Qingyun took two steps forward. walked up to Xie Ning and smiled slightly: "By the way, I still have something to say to Sister Xie." ”

"Qingyun, then we'll go first." Gao Yiyan also took two steps, looked at Gu Qingyun, and spoke directly, but she didn't look at Xie Ning who was standing nearby.

Xie Ning had long been displeased by Gu Qingyun's act of secretly ordering people to spread rumors, but now that she came to the door like this, it made Xie Ning a little vigilant, and his mind suddenly thought of the previous warnings of Wei Qingcheng and Qin Feng, and secretly did not mention it.

But then again, since she entered Beijing, she and the Gao sisters are not saber-rattling, but they can also be called disgusted by each other. Gu Qingyun was able to maintain a close relationship with the people on both sides of them before, which has to be said to be a little strange.

It's not that she regrets it, but when she looks back and thinks about it, she can't help but feel that with Gao Yiyan's domineering temperament, I'm afraid it will be unbearable for Gu Qingyun to be good friends with her.

Xie Ning was thinking about it, and before he knew it, he had already walked to the stone table in front of the corridor, and when he saw a crimson corner floating out of the afterglow, Xie Ning knew that Gu Qingyun had stopped, so he also retracted his steps.

"I was a little thirsty for a while," Gu Qingyun looked at Xie Ning for a long time, and suddenly laughed, "Sister Xie, I don't know if you can let this maid lead my maids to the meditation room to ask for some tea?" ”

The place of the meditation room is far away from the guest house where they are, and they have to take a few pillars of incense to come and go. Xie Ning knew that Gu Qingyun was going to break the grain sui, so he sneered in his heart, and then turned his head to look at the grain sui.

And Gu Sui also looked at Xie Ning with a worried face. Of course, she didn't know what Gu Qingyun was doing behind the scenes, but seeing that this Miss Xiangfu, who was good friends with the Gao sisters, was about to tear everyone around her apart lightly, she inevitably had to sweat for Xie Ning.

"Go ahead." Xie Ning nodded at her, this action was not only to appease the other party, but also to comfort himself. She wasn't afraid of what Gu Qingyun would do to her, but after all, the other party was someone she wanted to make friends with sincerely, and she was in such a situation, she was not afraid that she would be soft-hearted, but she didn't want to be deceived by Gu Qingyun again.

Looking back on the past, although the two were just nodding at first, as the other party took the initiative to help each other several times, Xie Ning naturally opened his heart to her, listened to her chat, tried his best to comfort her, and even took the initiative to leave the table to bandage her after she injured her fingers while playing the piano.

However, she didn't understand until later that the matter of the broken string was just a deliberate calculation by the other party, but the purpose was to design Wei Xiaomei, so that she could get the color head prepared by Mrs. Xiao, but it was ridiculous that she thought that the other party was really careless, so she was worried.

After seeing the three maids walk away, Gu Qingyun turned her head to look at Xie Ning, and said with a smile: "Actually, I have always wanted to have a chance to talk with Sister Xie like this, and today this wish can finally be realized." ”

Xie Ning glanced at her, and said with a smile: "If Miss Gu has anything to say, you might as well say it bluntly." ”

Qin Feng's letter clearly stated that he had confronted Gu Qingyun yesterday about the rumors in Yunzhilou, and she had admitted it herself. Xie Ning is also bored with her now, so he has no intention of making a false mistake with her, and he does not hide his alienation and indifference at this time.

Hearing this, Gu Qingyun's eyes flashed, and she looked at her with a clear expression and said, "You know? ”

Xie Ning smiled slightly, his chin rose a little, and he looked at Gu Qingyun's gaze without evading, and asked without answering, "I don't know what Miss Gu said?" Did you secretly order people to spread rumors? Or did you deliberately design Allure in Xiao Mansion? ”

Gu Qingyun also laughed, a pair of beautiful eyes flowing in the autumn waves, although it was moving, but it could no longer make Xie Ning admire from his heart. But seeing her eyelashes blinking, Fang said to Xie Ning: "Whether you believe it or not, the reason why I made this decision is because of other difficulties. ”

If it is wrong, it is wrong, no matter how hard it is, it should not be a bet on the lives of others, even if it is a thought, it should not make the rumors about the Yandi bandits in Beijing fly, causing Qin Feng's daily efforts to be misunderstood, and the efforts of the three hundred soldiers were in vain.

Xie Ning didn't want to listen to her defense, so he took advantage of her voice and immediately spoke up: "Miss Gu came to me just to talk to me about this?" If you don't have anything important to do, you will forgive Xie Ning for not accompanying you. ”

"Heh," didn't seem to expect Xie Ning to be so direct, Gu Qingyun's expression was stunned for a moment, and after chuckling self-deprecatingly, he got to the point, "Okay, then I'll be blunt." Let me ask you, do you know that King An already has a favorite person? ”

"Yes." Qin Feng had already mentioned this matter to Gu Qingyun when he refused, Xie Ning had no need to hide it, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded in response.

The hands folded in front of her clenched unconsciously, and in Gu Qingyun's beautiful eyes, only Xie Ning was reflected, but seeing the glint in her eyes, she leaned forward almost invisibly and asked in a loud voice: "Then do you know who he likes?" ”

Really!

Xie Ning's heart tightened, but his face was not revealing anything, he put away the inquiring look in his eyes, raised his head, looked at the other party quietly, and said, "I don't know what Miss Gu cares about this matter for." ”

Gu Qingyun glanced at her, and then said coldly: "I have loved King An for many years, and I did not hesitate to go to Yunzhilou to guess the lamp for him, but rumors spread in Beijing, and I never sent anyone to coax everyone." It's true that I paid for him, but what did I get in return? Now I'm just trying to find out who he wants, can't I? ”

Her words fell, but Xie Ning was still unmoved, "If it is really as you said, then you can go and ask His Royal Highness King An, why do you bother to ask me." ”

Gu Qingyun bit her lip slightly, this Chu Chu action added a touch of beauty to her. Xie Ning looked at her with a faint expression, and he was not half moved in his heart. (To be continued.) )
