Chapter 227: Inextricably linked

She should have thought of it a long time ago.

If it was just an ordinary intersection, how could Qin Feng spend so much effort for her, recruit so many people around her under various names, guide her to take the female official exam, teach her to guess riddles, play chess, and even martial arts.

also ignored the danger of showing her martial arts in front of people, just because she was worried that she would be injured.

Even persuaded her to have a family affair with the Duke of Wei's mansion because he didn't want her to get involved in the palace dispute.

Obviously, Qin Feng has done so much for her openly and secretly, and has protected her for so long. How could she be so slow to learn the truth from the other party until today.

It's a pity that she can't respond to such affection.

Xie Ning sat alone behind the bookcase, with countless thoughts in his heart for a while, but his expression was quite depressed.

I don't know it.

***

"Miss, can the slave come in?"

Xie Ning was alone in the study in a daze, and I don't know how long it took before Mingshuang's voice came from outside the door.

When she came back to her senses, she just lifted her eyelids, then lowered her gaze again, staring at the snow-white Shengxuan on the desk with empty eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

Mingshuang, who was standing outside the door, was still not discouraged, "The slave has something to say to the young lady." ”

"Come in."

Xie Ning's voice fell lightly, but Mingshuang got up one step ahead and sat on the small couch in the study, and pulled off the curtains on both sides, as if he didn't want to meet the other party.

Mingshuang entered in response, and his eyes were set against the backdrop of a hazy silk tent, and he fixed the shadowy figure in it, his eyes couldn't help flashing, but his voice did not pause, and he said directly: "The slave knew that the prince was interested in the young lady, but she never said anything. The young lady must be very resentful of the slave maid in her heart. ”

The curtain blocked each other's expressions clearly, Xie Ning only felt very comfortable, and when he heard the words, he didn't lift the curtain to look at the other party's expression, but said in a light tone: "You are not the maid next to me, each is its own master." I understand. ”

It's not a complaint, but to say that she doesn't mind it in her heart is lying. Mingshuang came to her side. Take care of her room affairs very well. Xie Ning thinks that he gets along very well with Mingshuang, and he has always treated her with Gu Sui.

But in the matter of Qin Feng, Mingshuang also hid it from her for so long.

"It seems that the young lady is really resentful of the slave," Mingshuang kept his composure on his face. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull out a wry smile, and his voice trembled slightly: "No wonder, Miss must think that the slave maid has been lying to you all along." ”

After clenching his hands and letting go, Xie Ning just said lightly: "Since you knew that there would be such a result, why didn't you tell me about it in the first place?" ”

"Miss thinks the slave didn't say it?" Mingshuang, who was standing in front of the curtain, shook her head and smiled, and said helplessly: "It's just that this matter is the prince's private matter after all." Mingshuang is just a servant, and in what position does he meddle in this matter? Even if you have a heart, all you can do is knock on the side and remind you secretly. ”

With Mingshuang's temperament, of course Xie Ning would not doubt the truth of the other party's words. Hearing this, she couldn't help but lower her gaze.

It turned out that the other party had reminded her.

In retrospect, there were so many clues, so many plausible and unreasonable things, how could she not find out until today.

Shainin unconsciously grabbed the cushion under him.

Mingshuang's voice came again-"What's more, when the slave maid first realized the prince's mind. It was also a very special situation. In the past, the fortune and misfortune of the bandit were uncertain, and then His Royal Highness King Xuan was eyeing him, and the slave and maid naturally agreed with the prince to conceal the matter. ”

"Miss may not believe it," Mingshuang opened her mouth while trying to look at Xie Ning's expression through the silk tent curtain, and the corners of her lips hooked: "Before the trip to suppress the bandits, the prince originally planned to wait until after the return trip to express his heart to the young lady. Pity...... Creation makes people. ”

Xie Ning's eyes flashed, and he raised his head after a while, and there were all kinds of tastes lingering in his heart. But I don't know what to say to Mingshuang.

When she heard about this, she was shocked. But Qin Feng admitted it in front of her, and she couldn't believe it.

But what if Qin Feng's intentions were confirmed? Not to mention that Xie Ning has no intention of him at all, just because she has a marriage contract with Wei Qingyang now. There is no possibility between the two.

No matter how good Qin Feng is to her, it will be in vain.

But the other party knew that she didn't have that kind of love for Wei Qingyang. Xie Ning is now only afraid that Qin Feng's obsession was born from this, and he is even more afraid that the other party will think that since she has no favorite person at this time, it makes no difference who she is with her.

She didn't want to give the other party any more hopeless hope.

Xie Ning closed his eyes, but tears fell from the corners of his eyes. It's hot and hot.

After being speechless for a long time behind the curtain, Mingshuang couldn't help but take another step forward and called tentatively: "Miss? ”

"You go down first," Xie Ning subconsciously hooked the corners of his lips, and after barely squeezing out a smile, he remembered that there was a curtain in front of the other party, so he immediately accepted his smile and said casually: "I'm fine, I just want to be alone." ”

"It's okay, the slave and maid will retire first. The slave and maid are guarding outside, and if the young lady has something, call the slave and maid again. Mingshuang's eyes were full of worry, but when she heard the words, she only said these two words, and when the words fell, she consciously closed the door and went out.

Xie Ning walked out from behind the curtain at this time, and he glanced at it unintentionally, but his eyes fell on the piano stand in the center.

As if he was shaken by something, Xie Ning hurriedly looked away, but all he saw were the traces left by Qin Feng.

Next to the chessboard is the chess game carefully selected by the other party for her.

The Taishi chair by the window is where he usually tests his homework.

Even the Zihao pen placed next to the bookcase was the one that Qin Feng was used to.

Xie Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly, but his heart was at a loss, and he didn't know what to do next.

The reason why she didn't want to meet Mingshuang was because at this moment, she would think of Qin Feng as long as she thought of the right person.

Even Xiao Yan, No Trace, Xiaoyue, and Aoyagi.

It was only at this moment that she suddenly realized that Qin Feng was so important in her life, and it turned out that even if the two did not meet, she was surrounded by traces of each other.

is so inextricably linked, she can break it off as she wants.

She didn't want to be a ruthless person, but when it came to the end, she couldn't help but hesitate.

Xie Ning turned his head and glanced at the yellow calendar hanging on the wall, but in a moment, he had already made a decision in his heart.

***

Early the next morning, Xie Ning looked at Gu Sui with a blank face and said, "Wait a minute, you go back to the Hou Mansion with me." I've got my bags packed, so remember to pack some of your underwear. We're going to stay there for two days. ”

"Huh?" Gu Sui was deliberately opened by Mingshuang yesterday, and how do you know what happened. Hearing this, Fang realized that something was wrong, and looked Xie Ning up and down with wide eyes, and couldn't help but exclaim at the moment: "Miss." Okay, what are we going to do when we go back? Also, how can I see that you don't sleep well, who packed your luggage for you. What the hell happened, although today is the first day of the new year, don't we usually only stay in the Hou Mansion for one night? Besides, we all went after noon. Now I have to pack up, and I have to stay for two days--Miss, this is inevitably too hasty. ”

Xie Ning couldn't see that Gu Sui was hidden in the dark like her, but her words crackled down, and she really couldn't answer.

She had long been distraught.

What's more, returning to the Hou Mansion was just a hasty decision she made.

Even Gu Sui noticed Xie Ning's strange appearance, and when she saw her look panicked, she cautiously lowered her voice, "Miss, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Shainin pursed his lips. The face does not show half of the emotion.

Seeing this, Gu Sui was even more worried, so he immediately leaned closer and said, "Miss, do you want me to go and talk to Sister Mingshuang first?" ”

Xie Ning's eyes flashed, he moved his lips but did not make a sound, and said after a while: "Whatever you want." ”

Now that she has made up her mind to leave, no one can stop her. Mingshuang would know sooner or later, and she didn't need to hide it.

Xie Ning went back to the room to get the baggage, so he went to find the coachman in the hall by himself, and ordered the other party to set up the carriage first. Then he turned back and looked for the ears of grain.

Naturally, it was no surprise to see the frost.

Xie Ning's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything. Just standing dozens of feet away from the two of them, carrying a burden that only contained two clothes.

After all, it was a hasty decision, and this time I returned to the Hou Mansion. She didn't have much to prepare, and although she was staying for two days, she had already made up her mind that she would stay outside for a long time.

Whether it's the Hou Mansion, or the grandmother Liu's courtyard, even if it's a random restaurant inn in the capital.

As long as it has nothing to do with Qin Feng. That's it.

Xie Ning has never liked to dodge when she encounters trouble, but this time she really has no choice, so she can only keep her distance from Qin Feng as much as possible, calm down and think about how to deal with this matter.

"Miss, where are you going? The slave and the maid go with you. Mingshuang saw her figure, so she walked over by herself.

When Xie Ning heard this, he just glanced at her lightly, shook his head and said, "I just want to be clean for two days temporarily." You better stay in the martial arts hall and help me with some things. ”

"Miss, please listen to me," Mingshuang suddenly raised her voice, and it was rare that she didn't use humility, and said directly: "Although the slave maid is from the palace, she has never signed any deed of sale. Since I came to Miss's side, I was Miss Feng. Every word and deed has never been considered only for the young lady. ”

Xie Ning glanced at her steadily, but complicated thoughts surged in his heart, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

Mingshuang's care for her, Xie Ning saw it in his eyes one by one. She has never doubted the other party's intentions, but yesterday's sentence "each for his master" must have hurt the other party's heart.

To be honest, she could imagine Mingshuang being caught in a dilemma between her and Qin Feng, and she could also be considerate of the other party's knowledge without saying anything.

Even Qin Feng's deliberate concealment.

She understands it all, she can understand it.

After all, this qiē is all about suffering.

She just couldn't accept this matter for a while, she just didn't want to face Qin Feng for a while, as well as these people, things, and things related to Qin Feng.

Xie Ning lowered his head, his eyebrows and eyes were lightly raised, and his sorrow was hidden.

Gu Sui, who was on the side, couldn't help but persuade him: "Miss, Sister Mingshuang is thoughtful and meticulous, let's take her back with us." ”

"Gu Sui-" Mingshuang couldn't help but shout when she heard this.

Gu Sui didn't stop talking because of this, his little face wrinkled, and he said urgently: "If Miss is worried about too many people, then Gu Sui won't go, let Mingshuang replace me." ”

Xie Ning was quite helpless about this, and after shaking his head secretly, he raised his eyes and looked anxious at Shanggusui, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and replied helplessly: "That's it, the affairs of the martial arts hall will be taken care of by Xiaoyue and them." You and Mingshuang, go back with me. ”

"Hmm." Gu Sui nodded hurriedly, Xu saw that Xie Ning was different today, but there was no happy look on his face.

Mingshuang suddenly stepped forward and said respectfully as before: "Miss, are you going to take these things back, do you want the slave to clean up some more?" ”

"No need," Xie Ning glanced at Mingshuang lightly, and said unabashedly: "Anyway, there are still a lot of clothes for me in the Hou Mansion, even if we have to move out to live, it won't hurt to clean up then." ”

Mingshuang's eyes flashed when she heard this, but she didn't say anything, went back to the room and got a set of clothes, and followed Xie Ning into the carriage.

As soon as they left, they received news from the other end of King An's Mansion - there were many Qin Feng's eyeliners in the Yan Wu Pavilion, even if Mingshuang had never told him, Qin Feng could also receive Xie Ning's movements in time.

What's more, by Xie Ning's side, there are also secret guards that he deliberately sent because he was worried about the safety of the other party.

It was Xie Ning's every move, he didn't say that he knew everything about it, but Qin Feng still had a rough idea of where she went every day and who she met.

At this time, he was sitting in the octagonal pavilion of Qiushi Garden, listening to the secret guard's reply casually.

“…… Miss Xie's master and servant took the car to the Hou Mansion early, each with their luggage. According to the speculation of her subordinates, Miss Xie probably wanted to leave for a few days. ”

"Heh," Qin Feng couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, staring at the celadon tea cup in his hand, looking very interested.

Seeing this, the dark guard lowered his head a little lower, lowered his voice softly, and said tentatively: "Master, you see...... Do your subordinates want to send someone to follow up with the Hou Mansion? ”

"Cough," Xiao Yan, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but cough heavily and interrupted the conversation between the two, and sat down beside Qin Feng without shying away, and couldn't help but say, "Ziyue, in my opinion, you better give Xie Ning a few days to think about it." You see you just went to the martial arts hall yesterday, and she moved out in such a hurry today. If you go too far, if you chase after you again...... I'm afraid it will backfire. ”

When Qin Feng heard this, he just glanced at Xiao Yan with a faint expression, turned his head and commanded the secret guard, "It's okay." If it's inconvenient to get in, there's no need to force it. Just keep an eye on what's going on around and keep her safe. ”

"Heh-," After a chuckle, Xiao Yan couldn't help but elongate his tone, raised his eyebrows, and said to Qin Feng in a strange voice: "I said Qin Ziyue, you can't help but think too much, right?" (To be continued.) )
