"My lord, Miss Qianlan is back, please have something to ask." Xiao Jiu'er went to the outer courtyard and said to Ning Xi.

Ning Xi was thinking about things in the house, and suddenly Qianlan came back, and he suddenly felt excited.

He hurried into the inner courtyard.

The little guys on the second gate of the palace annex were slightly surprised.

Miss Qianlan is the predecessor of the prince, and they know this.

But the prince is not in the mansion, why doesn't Lord Ning avoid suspicion, and goes straight to the inner courtyard?

There was a thinner little guy who was smart, and he muttered in a low voice, "Why does Miss Qianlan often look for Master Ning?" ”

"Shh The other immediately said nervously.

The thin guy didn't understand what he meant, and looked at his companion.

The other guy whispered, "...... Listening to people outside, this was the case when I was in Luzhou. The prince doesn't know anything, and many things in the house are decided by Lord Ning, which is ordered by the emperor and the queen mother. Miss Qianlan is in front of the prince, and sometimes the prince has something to do, so she asks Miss Qianlan to tell Lord Ning. If the subordinates dare to chew the root of their tongue to slander Miss Qianlan and humiliate the prince, Lord Ning will cut off someone's tongue! ”

"People outside" does not refer to people outside the palace, but a few coachmen from Luzhou who live in the outer courtyard.

Those coachmen were not Lord Ning's subordinates, and they often ate and drank with the original boys in the annex, and sometimes muttered a few words in private.

The skinny guy quickly covered his mouth.

He was too scared to say more.

But I was still thinking in my heart: It is inappropriate to say that Miss Qianlan and Lord Ning are inappropriate, why is it that the prince is humiliated?

Since he was afraid that the prince would be humiliated, what did Lord Ning always go to the inner courtyard to do?

Obviously, it was his own behavior that humiliated the prince, why didn't he let people say it?

It's as if to say it is to slander, it's really strange.

This is very unreasonable.

But the guards in the house are under the control of Lord Ning, and the chief manager and they all listen to Lord Ning's dispatch, like little maids, so they naturally keep their mouths shut. Don't dare to say a word of gossip.

The thin guy couldn't help but think: It's better to stay in this annex. Although there is no oil and water on weekdays, there is no need to worry about it like that.

About two quarters of an hour later, Ning Xi came out of the inner courtyard with a furious face.

The two little guys on the second door hurriedly bowed their heads and stood respectfully aside, not daring to say anything.

In the past, it takes half an hour or an hour to go in, why did you come out so quickly today?

At night, the maids heard Qianlan crying.

――――――

It was snowing again overnight.

The snow is flying, and the wisps are flying. The back room lit a rosemary burner, curling green smoke and smoked through the brocade quilt.

Qianlan didn't sleep all night. Tossing.

Ning Xi's words were in his ears: "...... But let you go and see if the prince is healthy, so that I can rest assured, why did you say the words that Lord Ning is also loyal? Have I given up my faithfulness to me? ”

Then he threw up his sleeves and walked away.

So many years. For the first time, Ning Xi had a bad attitude towards Qianlan.

Tears hit his face and slid down the pillow.

Ning Xi couldn't sleep either.

Last night's events were too strange.

He didn't dare to act rashly anymore.

lost one of his right-hand men, but in exchange for a confused mess.

What happened to the prince, he didn't know. He couldn't see him.

And the Gu Mansion on the opposite side doesn't seem to have many guards. But he is superior.

Li Mu's kung fu was good, but he was hit all of a sudden. He was stabbed in the throat, unable to say even a word of warning, and Ning Xigen didn't know what was going on on the other side.

I don't know, it's scary.

But the other party shouldn't have known that it was Li Mu at the moment, and he didn't chase after him.

Now. Ning Xi didn't have the handle in the hands of the Gu family.

If he makes another move, he may fall into the trap of the other party.

King Luyang is just a fool, he is now being manipulated by the Gu family. Ning Xi was helpless.

Don't panic, the more panicked he is, the more wrong he becomes.

The Gu family braked quietly, and Ning Xi wanted to be calmer. If there is no such thing, we should put away this heart of glory and boasting.

Can't sleep, all night long. Ning Xi couldn't sleep at all.

The next day, there was a thick layer of snow outside.

The Gu family sent someone. Called Tao Ren over to speak.

Ning Xi's heart was sudden.

There was a beast right behind him, hiding in the darkness, roaring from time to time. Ning Xi didn't know when the beast pounced, and his heart couldn't be quiet.

The other party wants him to mess with himself and show his feet!

Ning Xi clenched his fists tightly, and then acted like no one.

He snorted coldly in his heart: "Look who can get through!" ”

Tao Ren went to the Gu family to reply.

Half a day later, Tao Ren returned.

Ning Xi asked him, "What is the matter that the prince has called?" ”

"The prince said that he has been bored recently and wants to find Miss Qianlan to play with." Tao Ren smiled, "The prince remembers Miss Qianlan again." I'll arrange for Miss Qianlan to clean up and go over tomorrow morning......"

Ning Xi's heart tightened again.

Why did the actions over there always surprise him?

This time, it was even harder to calm down his feelings.

What kind of person Qianlan looks like, Ning Xi knows best.

Without Ning Xi by her side to guide her, she would soon be exposed.

What to do?

If you make a move now, Ning Xi himself will be exposed; If you don't make a move, Qianlan will have to expose him sooner or later!

He was in a dilemma.

Ning Xi's face changed and changed.

The inner courtyard of the prince, this is a capital crime.

Ning Xi really wanted to marry Qianlan and get the support of Qianlan's father. But at this moment, it is already the end of the road. He couldn't let Qianlan fall into the hands of the Gu family.

"Go ahead." Ning Xi chuckled and said to Tao Ren.

Qianlan couldn't stay out of his sight.

As soon as she heard that she was going to the Gu family to serve the prince, Qianlan was anxious again and began to cry.

Xiao Jiu'er was disgusted on the side: Can you not cry?

Cry at every turn, what do you mean!

It's because Qianlan can cry, and everyone spoils her?

"Let's clean it up." Xiao Jiu'er said, "You were originally served by the prince, but if you don't go over, the adults will be killed by you!" ”

"But I can't bear it!" Qianlan cried.

That night, Ning Xi quietly entered Qianlan's courtyard.

――――――

The next day, Gu Jinzhi sent someone to pick up Qianlan.

The little girl who went came back and said, "Miss Qianlan is sick and had a fever last night." ”

Gu Jinzhi seemed to be smiling.

"Then go and sue Mr. Tao and ask for a doctor for Miss Qianlan." Gu Jin said, "The prince is weak. It's not good to pass the wind and cold, so let her feel at ease over there for the time being. I'll talk about it in a few days. ”

The little guy said yes, turned around and went again.

Gu Jinzhi said to Zhu Zhongjun: "Ning Xi is testing us." If we insist on taking Qianlan here, he will know that we are suspicious, but he is afraid that Qianlan will not be able to come out of the house, and he will die. He didn't dare to kill Qianlan rashly now, so he naturally had his scruples. If he has scruples, Qianlan will not die. To keep Qianlan is to leave evidence, don't push too hard. Otherwise, the mad dog will bite too. ”

Zhu Zhongjun smiled and said, "Listen to you." ”

Qianlan was pretending to be sick after listening to Ning Xi's words, and then heard that the mansion over there disliked her for not being in good health. Afraid of contracting the wind and cold to the prince, she was so happy that she cried again.

Ning Xi's heart finally returned to its place.

It seems that many things are accidental, and the people over there are not suspicious Qianlan.

In this case, I am afraid of other things. It's also that he thinks too much......

King Luyang is just a fool, a girl from the Gu family.

Even if Gu Yantao instructed him behind his back, he couldn't plan for them in everything. What do two children understand? Also fighting with Ning Xi?

After that, Ning Xi didn't dare to act rashly, and he was at ease to mix these days in the capital.

Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi's purpose can be regarded as partially achieved.

Song Paner felt that Qianlan was a thorn in her eye.

Gu Jinzhi didn't care, Song Pan'er felt very uncomfortable.

King Luyang is a person without judgment. Gu Jinzhi can coax him, maybe Qianlan will be able to do it in the future...... Song Paner's heart can't be put down.

I heard that my daughter was going to pick up Qianlan for King Luyang. Song Paner hated to strangle her.

But when I thought about it later, I always felt that Gu Jinzhi was planning something.

She wouldn't say anything.

In the end, Qianlan didn't come.

Everyone was happy.

After such a fuss, Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi had an eighty percent understanding of the situation in Luzhou Palace. It also knows where the enemy is.

That's their catch.

It snowed for three days in a row, and the capital was covered in snow.

"There's still a war going on in the south. With such heavy snow in the north, Tatar cattle, sheep and horses will freeze to death a lot, and looting is indispensable. "When eating, Gu Yanzhen worries about the country and the people.

The rebellion in the south of Annam was sent in October, and I heard that there had been no good news so far, but I was afraid that the march had not yet reached Annam.

Because it's far away, people don't care much.

But the Tatars are close, and once they fight, they may be able to reach the capital in half a year.

The people of the capital were more worried about the Tatars.

Gu Jinzhi discussed with his mother: "In case there is a war in the west, our family's gold will be donated 400 catties as military funds." ”

Song Paner was shocked.

Four hundred pounds of gold is enough for them to spend a lifetime of luxury.

"Mother, the emperor always doesn't believe in the prince." Gu Jinzhi explained to Song Pan'er, "This batch of gold can be of great use. In the future, I will marry the prince, and this gold will be the king's. The emperor is another thorn in his heart. The prince has a fief, and he can't starve me. There are a hundred pounds left, which is enough for you to eat and drink. ”

Song Paner's heart jumped suddenly.

She has been in the house for a long time, and sometimes it is much easier to think about things.

Gu Jinzhi's words hit Song Paner's heart at once: "Okay, if there is a war in the west, we will donate it." ”

As long as the emperor does not suspect the king of Luyang, Gu Jinzhi will be safe.

For Song Paner, nothing is more important than her daughter's safety.

The Gu family is not rich and expensive, but it is not short of eating and drinking.

Besides, there are still 100 catties, which can eat them for most of their lives.

At the end of winter, sure enough, there was a report that the Tatars had looted the border passes and asked for support from the imperial court.

The imperial court had long been prepared for the Tatars, and the army and generals were ready-made.

After receiving the report from the palace, he began to prepare for the march.

Gu Jinzhi asked Gu Yanzhen to come forward and donate 400 catties of gold as military funds for the march.

The government and the opposition were surprised for a while.

The emperor received the recital from the Gu family, and he didn't move his eyes for a long time.

Then he smiled and accepted the gold.

When the Gu family offered the gold, the emperor rewarded Gu Yanzhen, gave him a scroll, and sealed a general of Fengguo, and ate 600 stones, which was not hereditary.

This Fengguo general's title is a three-grade one, and Song Pan'er was also awarded a three-grade lady.

After Gu Yanzhen received the scroll, the first thing he did was to lose all the books.

He never wanted to study again!
