Chapter 671: Dumb Aunt Ning!

Ye Long's news was tantamount to throwing a time bomb that exploded at any time to Lin Ze, who was planning to live a leisurely life. It's still the kind of bomb that doesn't know where it's hidden, and it doesn't know when it exploded.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ze found that he was not completely at a loss. So he called Ruth.

Soon, when the phone was connected, a slightly tired, but still magnetic, voice came from the microphone.

"Hey. What are you doing? As a friend, as a former comrade-in-arms, Lin Ze felt that he should not look for each other when there were only problems. Even if this is the case, I should show some kind of care and condolences to her.

"Work." Ruth's tone was a little sluggish, and she paused and asked. "What's the problem?"

Lin Ze was a little embarrassed, knowing that his little caution couldn't hide Ruth, so he simply didn't hide it and asked. "I heard that there was a shock in the royal family? Is it serious? ”

"Seriously." Ruth paused slightly, then added. "But it won't affect the little princess for the time being. It belongs to the contest between the eldest princess and the empress. ”

Lin Ze frowned when he heard this, it seemed that Ye Long's news was very accurate, and he asked slowly, "According to your estimate, how serious will it be?" ”

"It's hard to say." Ruth also said cautiously. "If it's a head-to-head fight, it's hard to get involved. But if Princess Celestia has any shady plans, it is very likely to make a lot of noise. ”

"How?" Lin Ze's heart fluttered.

Shady plans?

Isn't that the standard style of Princess Celestia?

When it comes to darkness, I'm afraid no one can compare with this noble and elegant woman on the outside, but she is extremely dark and dark in her bones, right?

"The struggle for imperial power, in addition to supporting one's own faction, is also a crucial thing." Ruth said calmly. "Public opinion orientation."

Lin Ze nodded, quite agreeing.

"So far, Princess Celestia has done quite well with this. She lives in seclusion, and as long as she attends the scene, most of them belong to charity activities. Plus the team behind her created a benign topic for her. It can be said that she is very popular with the people. Not to mention anything else, at least the little princess can't compare with her. As you know, there are times when the Empress is negatively attacked. After all, she is the spiritual leader of England and the spiritual sustenance of the people. Good things, people can't remember for too long. Bad things can reduce people's support. No matter how much effort the Empress made in the process, whether the result was caused by her or not. None of them can change the attitude of the people. And it is just helpless that people will always remember the outside and are good at forgetting the good. So from this point alone, the empress is not in a good situation. Ruth said patiently.

"I heard a message. Celestia's own uncle is plotting against sharks. Lin Ze suddenly threw out this sentence.

"My most recent assignment is to follow up on this." Ruth's words revealed a hint of helplessness, and said bitterly. "If the direction goes as we expected, frankly, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable for the Empress."

"Is there any certainty of debunking?" Lin Ze asked tentatively.

"Difficult." Ruth said in a clear tone. "The authority of the six places is not unlimited, and there are some things we can't do about it. After all, the identity of the other party is destined for us not to bite too tightly. ”

Lin Ze took a deep breath and asked, "According to what you said, you can only take one step at a time now?" ”

"Yes." Ruth replied in the affirmative.

The two sides fell silent.

For a long time, I don't know if it was to remind Lin Ze or what, Ruth's words were full of revealing meaning: "You have to understand, this is infighting." Even if it's six, it's impossible to support anyone on the one hand. ”

When Lin Ze heard this, he also came to his senses.

Oh, yes. It's not about who the state is against. Rather, it is a contradiction in the country. To take the simplest example, when a gang fights another gang, the smaller ones below will unite to defend against foreign enemies. But if the two red sticks in the gang are fighting for the boss, what about the smaller ones below?

The only option is to take sides.

Whoever you trust and who you get will be on your side.

Ruth's reminder made Lin Ze more and more cautious. But suddenly, he wanted to ask a question, and even if he didn't ask, he knew the answer.

"Who do you support?"

Asking this question, Lin Ze was a little nervous.

"Who I support doesn't affect the big picture." Ruth said calmly.

"But it will affect my judgment." Lin Ze smiled.

"The Empress."

"Thank you."

"Thank you for her?"

"For me."

"Why?"

"Need a reason?"

"No, I don't."

"Late at night, huh?"

"All night."

"That-" Lin Ze twitched the corners of his mouth. Said helplessly. "Remember to eat a late-night snack."

"Eating."

“――”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ze raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. Silently lit a cigarette.

England is too far away for him, a little too far to quench his thirst. He couldn't go to England right now, firstly, for no reason, and secondly, for no reason.

Ruth said that the current situation is far from the point of involving the little princess. It belongs to the battle between the eldest princess and the empress. The game between these two gods, he is a small bodyguard, and he has killed the identity of a national security agent, how can he participate in it? How do you get involved?

Puffing out a puff of smoke, the only thing Lin Ze could do was to pray silently for the little princess, hoping that she would succeed in her cultivation. Carrying the burden of Lin Ze's scalp tingling when he thought about it.

Suddenly, he felt lucky. No, the super lucky kind.

Even if he has experienced too much life and death over the years, he has been under tremendous pressure. Compared with the little princess, Han Xiaoyi, and even Xue Baiyan, he is too relaxed.

Lin Ze's life is his own, and when he performs the task, he doesn't have much psychological pressure at all. But they are different, not only do they have to bear pressure, they don't even have the urge to die. For example, Xue Baiyan and the little princess, from the moment they were born, they have been fighting the most cruel against fate. They can't back down, and they can't back down. They are more than one person, behind them, around them, there are too many factors urging them and encouraging them.

"Whew-"

The cigarette burned to the end, and Lin Ze went into the kitchen to make dinner. Fuel up for those who are busy with work and training.

――――Xue Baiyan was a little curious and a little puzzled.

The old lady rarely took the initiative to invite herself to the small courtyard behind the Xue family's house. Usually, it's the self-initiative to get there. In the past, it was almost a small talk, or asking for some experience. But the old lady took the initiative to find it, but the meaning was very different.

Xue Baiyan, who had just finished her lunch break, was invited over by a middle-aged woman, and there was some surprise on her upside-down face. But when the middle-aged woman turned around and threw a warm smile at Xue Baiya, Xue Baiyan's mood was much more steady.

This woman can always give people a sense of peace of mind and positive energy.

She is not pretty, at most dignified and gentle. The eyes were warm and soft, not big or small, no eyeliner, and no mascara. But she is such a woman without makeup, but she can always make people pay attention to her subconsciously. Even if you are standing in the old lady's study or bedroom, you can occupy a certain sense of presence.

Xue Baiyan didn't know where she came from, nor did she know her specific identity. She only remembered that since she could remember, this middle-aged woman had been serving the old lady's daily life. At that time, the middle-aged woman was still a taciturn little girl, but her smiling eyes were always full of warm and soft things. Wear a simple cheongsam and a pair of embroidered shoes with elegant colors. Like a small jasper in the Republic of China. It's very eye-catching.

I'm older. Especially women who go straight to forty after thirty. Even old men who know that such women are always more coquettish than young women in bed are beginning to lose interest in them. What's more, Xue Baiya, who is a collection of thousands of pampered talents?

Of course, today's Xue Baiya is gradually diverting her attention from her, not that she is old and her demeanor is not as good as before. Simply because the number of things that needed her attention was increasing, so much that she could no longer afford to pay attention to this woman. But it is undeniable that Xue Baiya's habit of wearing cheongsam is largely influenced by her.

Xue Baiya still remembered that this middle-aged woman would occasionally accompany her to read a book on a stone bench under a tree and watch herself play chess alone. She rarely spoke, like a virtuous and virtuous wife, staring at Xue Baiyan with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Young Xue Baiya.

"Aunt Ning. What's wrong with the old lady? Before entering the house, Xue Baiyan asked curiously.

The middle-aged woman who was called Ning Gu just looked back at Xue Baiyan with a smile, without making a sound or making a gesture in response.

Xue Baiyan was surprised. He shook his head lightly and said, "It seems that the old lady has not been able to tell you." ”

Ning Gu nodded lightly, like looking at Xue Baiyan when she was a child. His eyes were full of love and warmth.

Ning Gu is mute.

This was only known to Xue Baiya when she was ten years old. Before, she thought that the old lady did not allow this subordinate to chat with her. But gradually, when Xue Baiya found that as long as Ning Gu was free, she would run from the courtyard at the back of the house to the garden in the middle to read with her, and after watching herself play chess, Xue Baiya knew that Ning Gu was not an ordinary person. Or maybe she's a little more advanced than she thought. But it was exactly like this, when Xue Baiyan found that Ning Gu always nodded and shook her head to answer her questions, she suddenly woke up.

This big sister is an ordinary big sister who is dumb.

"The old lady is writing?" Xue Baiyan found that she hadn't chatted with this Ning Gu who had been with her for a difficult time for a long time, and asked softly.

Ning Gu nodded.

"How have you been doing lately, is there anything you particularly want to eat? Have you finished eating the mille-feuille that was brought to you last time? Xue Baiyan smiled.

Ning Gu shook her head and nodded. And made a couple of gestures.

Xue Baiyan, who knew sign language, chuckled: "Aunt Ning wants to eat osmanthus cake? ”

Ning Gu nodded softly.

"Next time, let Xue Gui get you some authentic ones." Xue Baiyan smiled.

Aunt Ning expressed her gratitude. When Xue Baiyan turned around to leave, she made another gesture.

"Anything else?" Xue Baiya's patience is surprisingly good.

Ning Gu made several gestures in a row, and finally pressed lightly to her heart, staring at Xue Baiyan with a warm face.

Xue Baiyan said, "Xue Gui told you? ”

Ning Gu nodded.

"Aunt Ning, you have known me for more than 20 years, and you always know how my life should go. Do I have a choice? ”

When Ning Gu heard this, her expression darkened slightly, she put down her hands and turned around to make tea.
