Chapter 172: Providence Is So
After a while, the palace car stopped in front of the Duwei Mansion, Nangong Ning opened the window a gap, but saw that the gate of the Duwei Mansion was closed, she couldn't help frowning slightly, at this time, the coachman held up the umbrella and opened the car door, Lianyun helped Nangong Ning to walk down, and the rain under the steps had accumulated a lot, so that the rain soaked the shoes through the upper.
Nangong Ning trotted up the steps, although Lianyun held an umbrella for her, but the men's brocade clothes were still wet, and Lianyun's little clothes were instantly penetrated by the rain, and the rain flowed down the cheeks of the two, and the green silk was entangled, wisps by wisps, at this time, the two stood in front of the gate of the Duwei's Mansion, like a chicken in the soup, the wolf was unbearable, the wind was blowing, the cold was very heavy, Nangong Ning and Lianyun were shivering from the cold.
"Knock knock knock", Lianyun knocked the door while blocking the rain for Nangong Ning.
Because the wind and rain were so loud, that Lianyun knocked for a long time before someone came to open the door, and the one who opened the door was the housekeeper of the Duwei Mansion, who was about forty years old and had an ordinary appearance, but there was a fierce look between his eyebrows and eyes, and he looked at Nangong Ning with his eyes, and found that he had never seen this person, and couldn't help shouting: "Who are you looking for?" If you look for my lord, he won't be there."
"Bold, you dare to talk to my son-in-law like this, you can't find death"? Without waiting for Nangong Ning to speak, Lianyun on the side couldn't help but scold, the housekeeper saw Lianyun glaring at him, and before meeting again, these two people had extraordinary temperaments, luxurious clothes, and they were a little weak at the moment, even if it was a dignitary from a family who came to find an adult, he ignored Lianyun's words, and his tone of voice was much more relaxed.
"If the son is looking for my family, I'm afraid it's the wrong time, and my family will go out before the rain."
"What"? Nangong Ning looked at the look on the housekeeper's face, which didn't seem perfunctory, and suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly asked, "What did he do when he went out?" When will you be back"?
The housekeeper looked at Nangong Ning with some doubts, and his expression turned a little colder at the moment, how could there be such a person who didn't understand the rules, how could he ask about the master's affairs, and said stiffly: "The lord didn't tell him."
Nangong Ning still wanted to say something, but when she saw the housekeeper closing the door and looking at the closed door, she was suddenly extremely angry, as a princess, how could she tolerate a slave to be so disrespectful, but it was not appropriate to publicize it now, so she had to endure it, turned around and ignored the rain under the steps, dropped a sentence, and ran into the palace car in a few steps.
"Go to General Shaodi's Mansion".
After Lianyun also got into the car, the coachman closed the door, waved the horsewhip, and the palace car headed towards General Shaodi's mansion again.
When she was about to arrive at the General's Mansion, suddenly, a carriage came rushing from the opposite side, and the muddy water suddenly splashed on the window of the palace car, and the water droplets passed through the window and threw on Nangong Ning's face, she was still angry about the things that had just gone to the Governor's Mansion, but it happened that she couldn't bear it anymore, regardless of the pouring rain outside, she pushed the window and poked her head out, looking at the carriage that was getting farther away, she actually had a familiar feeling, the carriage was different from the ordinary carriage shape, it was wider than the ordinary carriage, it was an octagonal top, and the octagonal hung with a golden bell, At first glance, she knew that the material of the carriage was gloomy wood, and when it met with water, it would emit a faint fragrance, and this carriage was like this, she sniffed lightly, and a faint fragrance wafted in the air.
Her heart sank suddenly, because she knew that the carriage was called Magpie Dove, which was more luxurious than the palace car, and it was given to him by his brother after General Shaodi pacified the rebellion on the frontier. Her heart couldn't help but be a little messy.
Sure enough, when Nangong Ning came to the General's Mansion, the little maid guarding the door told her that the general had gone out, but he also didn't know where he had gone or when he would come back.
"Childe, let's go back, the cold outside is getting heavier, watch out for your body", Lianyun held an umbrella behind Nangong Ning, and when she saw her standing outside the gate of the General's Mansion for a long time, she couldn't help but say worriedly.
"Is this really providence"? Nangong Ning suddenly spoke, her tone was full of frustration and helplessness, Lianyun was slightly stunned, and then understood the meaning of the princess's words, sighed lightly and said lightly: "The princess doesn't have to be sad, Prince Yu has his own natural appearance."
Nangong Ning shook his head suddenly, the tears in his eyes suddenly slid down his cheeks, blending with the rain on the ground, "Since the day King Yu was arrested, it has been three or four days now, and in these three or four days, anything can happen, I know my brother's temperament too well, the reason why he did not disclose the location of King Yu's detention is to save some thoughts to rectify him, he fell into the hands of his brother, I am afraid that there will be no good end."
"Since the general and the lieutenant are not at home, it is better for us to find another opportunity to come another day, only for now, it is important to find King Yu", Lianyun's words made Nangong Ning's tears stop abruptly, she rolled up her cuffs and wiped her cheeks, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "You are right, that is, I saw the commander and the general today, and it will not help if I don't know where King Yu is being held, and it is not too late to act after I find out, go, go back to the palace."
As the palace car drove slowly, it gradually disappeared into the rain curtain.
The rain continued until dinner, when it was a little lighter, and Shui Lianyue had eaten dinner, leaning against the door frame to feel the fresh air when it rained, but unexpectedly saw a figure that disgusted her.
Nangong Ling was dressed in a violet brocade suit, walked into Jingxue Xuan with slender legs, and there were two little eunuchs holding umbrellas for him behind him, the faint purple reflected his handsome appearance, a pair of black eyes stared at Shui Lianyue intently from entering the door, and the corners of his mouth hooked a playful smile, "It's rare that you still have the mood to enjoy the rain here, it seems that I came at the right time, it's better for me to accompany you."
Shui Lianyue glanced at Nangong Ling, turned around and walked into the house, Dongxue in the house cleaned up the bed, saw Nangong Ling coming in, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "The slave has seen the emperor."
"Well, you go down first", Nangong Ling glanced at Dongxue and waved at her and said.
Dongxue got up slowly, glanced at Shui Lianyue, and saw her nodding slightly, and then exited the house.
"Looks like you're in a good mood today, what's up? Finally got my wish"? Shui Lianyue walked to the round table, picked up the teacup and poured herself a glass of water, sat down and drank it slowly.
Nangong Ling chuckled, sat next to Shui Lianyue, reached out and poured a glass of water for herself, and said as she poured: "I heard that you have something to say, what's the matter?" Are you worried about him"?
Shui Lianyue snorted coldly disdainfully, looked at Nangong Ling indifferently and said, "Why should I worry about him? It's just that I still say the same thing, since you have already got your wish, let me go."
Nangong Ling couldn't help frowning when she heard this, the corners of her mouth were not smiling, her fingers clenched the teacup tightly, her face was a little cold, she looked at Shui Lianyue with gloomy eyes, and said coldly: "I said, I won't let you go, you'd better stay here in peace, so that you can live and raise, don't mention this kind of thing to me again in the future, otherwise, it really annoys me, I don't dare to guarantee that your mother is safe and sound."
