349: Can't be soft-hearted

This night, Nalan Jinxiu lost sleep again. She remembered that the third brother had a few close friends in Jinling, so she asked Ye Bing to take someone to ask. She had to figure out what the hell was going on.

With the prudence of the third brother, it is easy that nothing will happen, unless someone is calculating him and it is not expected by him. It was late at night, and she was in a trance for a long time, and finally fell asleep on the couch.

In a daze, she seemed to see the third brother sitting next to her, just like she usually fell asleep when she was reading. He didn't speak, just looked at her tenderly, and the softness in his eyes seemed to drown her.

"Third brother, you're back, do you know that I'm about to be scared to death. She said with tears in her voice.

"Ah Jin is not afraid. His voice murmured softly.

Nalan Jinxiu reached for his sleeve, and then didn't touch anything. She snapped open her eyes and found that there was nothing around her. She looked at everything she was familiar with, and she was alone.

She barely ate much throughout the day, and in the end it was the little girl named water chestnut, saying that if pregnant women don't eat, the child in her belly will be hungry. The little girl's reason for coaxing her was so lame, but it reminded her that she couldn't let herself go.

She reluctantly ate a little eight-treasure rice, and now she feels a little sick in her stomach. People are always the most vulnerable when they are sick. Nalan Jinxiu is a little homesick, in this huge Ji Mansion, there used to be an old man who loved her very much, and she regarded her as a relative.

Now that the third brother is not by her side, the old man no longer loves her, she has no support in this mansion, and this is not her home. In fact, she really only has the third brother now.

He has always cared about her, he is worried about her when she is a little uncomfortable, and even treats her as a child who needs to be taken care of. He felt that she was always disobedient, either a picky eater, or a greedy eater, or she was too crazy and tired to get sick.

So as soon as she got sick, he kept a calm face and supervised her life and diet. Even when he wasn't free, he would let the girl look at her, and every once in a while, someone would report what she had done.

Her life was once shattered, but it was because of his presence that she became willing to believe in life again. He was the best person in her life, the source of all her courage, and she was not afraid of anything.

Where the hell is he?

While she was thinking nonsense, a maid came over to spread the word, saying that Ye Bing had brought someone back, and that person wanted to see her. Nalan Jinxiu didn't dare to delay, and took the maid to the study in the front yard.

In the study was a tall, handsome young man. When he saw Nalan Jinxiu, he bowed to her and said, "Contemptible Sun Wenjie, ask my sister-in-law's wife." ”

Nalan Jinxiu bent down and returned the salute, but saw the young man waving his hand in a panic and refused: "You are pregnant, and you are not an outsider, so you don't need to return the salute." ”

"Master Sun, I want to know what happened to my husband? What happened to him? Why did I hear my grandmother say that the Holy Master had returned to the court, but I still couldn't find him?"

Nalan Jinxiu knew that Sun Wenjie was a good friend of the third brother, and he also knew that he was also a pivotal figure in the court. She asked so many questions at once, it was really because she was too anxious and too urgent in her heart.

Sun Wenjie hesitated for a moment and said to her: "Before he left, he knew that someone was attacking him, and he wanted to use the excuse of the refugee riot to get rid of him. I'm not sure what happened to them, but I think it should be a trick to get out of the shell. With Huai Jin's exquisite scheming, it is impossible to be easily controlled by others. ”

When he said this, Nalan Jinxiu felt a little more comfortable, but in the end, she still couldn't be sure of the safety of the third brother, and she still couldn't rest assured. Then he asked: "He never told me about the affairs of the court, I wonder if Master Sun can tell me who is calculating him?" ”

"I won't tell you who it is, the less you know, the safer it is for you. ”

Nalan Jinxiu shook her head: "I am husband and wife with him, if something happens to him, how can I be alone? I am a woman in the back house, I don't know how to calculate, but I have the right to know who wants my husband's life." ”

"You're pregnant, take care of yourself. Huai Jin's most reassuring person is you, before leaving, I asked me to take care of it, and I came today to make you feel at ease. ”

Nalan Jinxiu knew that Sun Wenjie wouldn't tell her, but she knew it in her heart. The third brother is a pivotal figure in the Daning court, and there are not many people who have the ability to calculate him, and it is very likely that it is Zong Xuanyi.

She has never forgotten the scene she saw in the sea of death, and there will inevitably be a fight to the death between the third brother and Zong Xuanyi. Zong Xuanyi is a person like the devil, he is ruthless, if he finds an opportunity, won't the third brother be more auspicious?

"That person, is it Xiangguo?" asked Nalan Jinxiu as he looked at Sun Wenjie.

Sun Wenjie didn't know how to answer, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, Ji San's wife was really like him, she was a thoughtful person. He couldn't lie to her, but he didn't want to admit it, so he had to be embarrassed and said, "Don't ask again." You just have to remember that Huai Jin is not alone, and we will not let him have anything to do. ”

From Sun Wenjie's flashing eyes, Nalan Jinxiu confirmed his guess. The footage she saw in the sea of death was incomplete, and at that time, the third brother was already the first assistant of the cabinet, but I was afraid that the battle had already begun.

What she needs to figure out most now is what the third brother is facing. If it is true that Zong Xuanyi wants the life of the third brother, the third brother is in Yuliang, and the people available around him are limited, isn't it very passive?

Nalan Jinxiu gave Sun Wenjie a salute and said lightly: "Thank you Lord Sun for coming to tell me late at night, I know it in my heart." ”

"Huai Jin will be fine, Mrs. Sister-in-law should cherish herself. It's inconvenient to stay longer, so I'll leave first. Sun Wenjie saluted again, turned around and left with his personal entourage.

Nalan Jinxiu looked at Ji Hongye's bookshelf, was stunned for a while, and finally decided to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although she saw in the sea of the past that our brother would one day be the first assistant of the cabinet, it means that he should be fine now. At least before he became the first assistant, the career should still be smooth, but she didn't dare to take risks.

God knows if the things in the sea of the dead are real or illusory. Moreover, she married the third brother, a person like her who has been through the underworld, will she change anything in the dark? Will this change be harmful to the third brother? I knew that she should have killed Zong Xuanyi ruthlessly at that time......

It's too late to think about anything now, she doesn't want to see Zong Xuanyi, but she has to go. She had cured him of his head disease, and he had promised to repay her by doing one thing for her, and now it was time for him to repay the favor.

She took Ye Bing and Liangshan to the Prime Minister's Mansion as usual. Before dawn, the gatekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion refused to let them in because they were dressed simply, and they were not rich and noble.

Nalan Jinxiu was waiting at the door, she thought that no matter what, she would see Zong Xuanyi today. She stood at the door for a full hour, which may not be a big deal for ordinary people, but for her who is pregnant, it is undoubtedly a kind of torture.

Liangshan couldn't bear it anymore, and said to the gatekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion: "My husband once treated Xiangguo, and now you turn him away, you will take revenge! If this word spreads, everyone will not blame you for looking down on people, but only that Lord Xiangguo is not close to people." ”

Only then did the gatekeeper vaguely remember that this young man in green clothes was indeed the doctor who diagnosed Xiangguo. He did not dare to delay any longer and let them into the courtyard.

At this time, it was just dawn, and they were placed in a reception room to wait, and the people inside were okay and gave them refreshments. Nalan Jinxiu saw that the people who came and went here were already completely unfamiliar faces, and there was a sense of vicissitudes in her heart. She used to live here and is very familiar with every plant and tree here. Today, only the sense of vicissitudes remains.

At that time, Zong Xuanyi had already gotten up, and he was a person who never slept lazy. Sleeping at the beginning of the day and getting up at the end of the day is a habit he has developed for many years.

It's just that in recent years, his health has become worse and worse, and he no longer needs morning exercises. He felt that he should have a short life, because he had a lot of killing, and because all he had on his mind was one person.

"Xiangguo, the slave maid is waiting for you to wash. The woman beside him is called Hua Rongbai, who is the person King Xun found for him, and the only woman who can get close to him in the past few years.

Hua Rongbai is a woman with a twisted fate, she is naturally charming and has been sought after by many people. But because she was the daughter of a criminal minister, no one dared to take her in, and she was sent back and forth as a gift by everyone, until she was finally sold to the Qinglou.

Although she is young, she doesn't know how many men she has served. It stands to reason that a woman like her will never be touched by Zong Xuanyi in his life. But she has a flattering face, and her facial features are three or four points like Nalan Jinxiu.

Nalan Jinxiu was the lord of Ning'an who was famous in Jinling, not only with a good background and good medical skills, but also with his appearance. It's not that he doesn't know that King Xun has worked hard to find a similar person for him, but how can there be anyone in this world who can match her?

When Hua Rongbai appeared in front of him, he was angry, especially when he saw that she was imitating Nalan Jinxiu, he was even more angry. But in the end, he compromised, and he thought to himself that even on the day he died, she would not be able to forgive him. Then why didn't he find an emotional sustenance for himself, at least he wasn't alone when he missed her.

Hua Rongbai waited for him to get dressed, and said softly: "Xiangye, there is a handsome little boy waiting for you outside." ”

"Who?"

"I heard that it was the doctor who treated your head disease. ”

Ji Hongye's wife, Zong Xuanyi, frowned, and felt irritable in his heart. He wouldn't have wondered what she meant by choosing this time to come to the door. Although she cured his head disease, and he promised to do one thing for her, it didn't mean that he could let Ji Hongye go.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he must not relent! However, at the thought of her bowing her head and administering the needle to him, a different emotion rose in his heart......
