Chapter 241: House Arrest
The dormitory is splendid, the bed is luxurious, the wind is moving, and the red tent is like layers of peony flowers in full bloom.
Lu Ning sat bored on the soft couch next to the openwork paper window, listening to the movement of the sentry post outside.
Lu Qiongxian paced slowly in the hall, her expression was very quiet,
In this regard, Lu Ning also admired slightly, in the face of a crisis, it is rare for a woman to be as calm as her, but think about it, from the day she entered the center of power, as a woman, she was also ready to face the bleakest ending, after all, historically, especially the lessons of the former Tang Dynasty, whether it was a female official or a princess, those who participated in political affairs did not end well in the end.
Now, Lu Qiongxian is obviously not far from a real loss of power.
Gong Chengshu led the army into the palace, declared that Lu Qiongxian was seriously ill, put Lu Qiongxian under house arrest in the dormitory, and sent soldiers to guard outside.
Otherwise, Gong Chengshu would not have done such a desperate thing, and directly put Lu Qiongxian under house arrest.
Moreover, Gong Chengshu was supposed to want to put Lu Qiongxian and Xiaocui's master and servant under house arrest, but he happened to see himself standing silently on the side, and asked his identity, so he asked himself to stay in the palace with bad intentions and dress "Fairy Lu", which was naturally a humiliation to Lu Qiongxian.
Moreover, his little tooth man, because he wants to help Lu Qiongxian do things, is also affected by the pond fish, no matter whether Lu Qiongxian will completely lose power after the beginning of summer, he will inevitably lose his head, even if Gong Chengshu can't help Lu Qiongxian in the end, he also gave Lu Qiongxian a profound lesson, so that she no longer dares to hide from them and act in private, and a little Yalang who helps Lu Qiongxian do things, Lu Qiongxian can't keep it, the officials of the DPRK and China, where do they not know the latest wind direction?
When Lu Ning was thinking wildly, the lock of the door outside the dormitory sounded, and the door of the dormitory was pushed open a crack, and someone sent in a food box from the outside, and the door of the dormitory was closed again.
In the dormitory, silence returned.
After a while, Lu Qiongxian's gentle voice sounded: "Why don't you bring the food box over and set the meal?" The tone was a little reproachful.
Lu Ning was stunned, dare to be affectionate, is he waiting to serve? Originally, I thought she was afraid of poison.
"I'm not very good at serving people." Lu Ning said casually, this is also the truth, although he has helped the women around him boil the bath water, but there is no maid by his side, and Su Xiaoxiao really doesn't have the strength to do the work of carrying water and boiling water, and he is also willing.
"What are you talking about?!Do you think I can't punish you now?!" Lu Qiongxian's pretty face was a little angry.
Lu Ning didn't bother to pay attention to her, leaning on the soft couch, but he was wondering, the day after tomorrow will be summer, now, whether he should kill from here and go to the big food shop to do things.
"Is there where you can sit and lie down?!" Lu Qiongxian was even more angry.
Lu Ning closed his eyes and ignored her.
Lu Qiongxian was angry, but in the current situation, she couldn't do anything to Lu Ning after all.
After a long while, he snorted, "What a rough man with no rules." ”
Lu Ning listened to the movement, but she walked over, did it herself, uncovered the food box, and placed the dishes.
The aroma of the food wafted in, and Lu Ning was suddenly a little hungry, and he hadn't eaten much in the past few days.
Lu Qiongxian knelt on the ground in the hall, just placed the dishes, four side dishes, two meat and two vegetables, and the rice was flax rice, that is, boiled sesame seeds with sesame oil, and a water bladder, which was filled with water.
Lu Qiongxian was about to get off the chopstick, but she didn't want Lu Ning to come over, squatted down, picked up the boiled mushroom plate, and ate it.
After Lu Qiongxian was stunned, she immediately became angry, and her starry eyes seemed to breathe fire, "What are you doing?!"
Lu Ning coughed, "I'm really a little hungry, don't worry, I won't eat you for nothing, if you still have medicine to save you, I will save your life." ”
I don't know what he's talking nonsense, Lu Qiongxian's lungs are going to explode, but there is really no way, after all, he can't fight with this tall man, and he can't beat him.
"Don't, you want to eat it again, doesn't that black chicken soup have chicken legs?! That chicken leg is for you. Seeing that Lu Ning had finished eating, Lu Qiongxian seemed to be staring at another small vegetable, and hurriedly said, after speaking, she was a little helpless, but she was downcast, and she wanted to beg a little Yalang not to snatch her food?
"Forget it, I've got enough." Lu Ning put down the plate, went back to the window and sat down on the couch, closing his eyes and resting.
Seeing that he didn't touch his water bladder, Lu Qiongxian was relieved, if this pickled man picked up the water bladder first and drank two sips of water, he could only endure his thirst.
……
For the next two days and two nights, when night fell on the third day, after the soldiers outside sent in the food box, Lu Qiongxian routinely set up the dishes and bowls, and finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Aren't you thirsty or hungry?" ”
Since snatching her a plate of boiled mushrooms at noon the day before yesterday, Lu Ning has never eaten again.
"Well, neither thirsty nor hungry." Lu Ning still lay on the soft couch and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Lu Qiongxian sighed softly: "You can come and eat some, if you want to change clothes, you can do whatever you want, I let you do it today, anyway, tomorrow, don't say you, it's me, I don't know what will happen." ”
Today, it is Lixia, and now is the hour, and Gong Chengshu has already offered the Rui Beast.
Lu Qiongxian sighed faintly again: "It's just that you don't want to, you are a humble gentleman." ”
Hearing her say "changing clothes" or something, Lu Ning was stunned for a moment before she understood, she seemed to have a great impression of herself, just because she didn't eat or drink and couldn't be complimentary, thinking about it, she thought that if she didn't eat or drink, she just held back and didn't want to be complimentary.
There is naturally a night pot toilet in the dormitory, placed in the side hall, every morning Xiaocui is also allowed to come in to send combing water, pour the night pot, etc., of course, no one in the house is allowed to leave, and they are not afraid of Xiaocui to pass on any news.
It's just that there is only one night pot toilet, if you have touched it, with Lu Qiongxian's identity, from common sense, she will naturally never use it again, but in the current situation, the soldiers guarding outside the hall will not allow Xiaocui to replace a new toilet.
And now, Lu Qiongxian doesn't seem to care about these things, she feels that she is already precarious, but in the midst of tribulation, there is such a freak as herself who spends the last few days and nights with her, but I don't know what mood she is in, but judging from her soft voice to eat by herself, her impression of herself is not bad, of course, maybe it is that people are dying and their words are good, and for her, in this Southern Han Dynasty, she lost her power, and she is not far from a tragic death, she thinks about this very well in her heart.
"Ning Saburo, whatever you want to eat today, it's up to you!" Or perhaps, no one has spoken in the past few days, a little suffocated, today is the day of the beginning of summer, no miracles have happened, everything is doomed, but there is such a guy by his side, but Lu Qiongxian is abnormal, extremely gentle, and the title is called "San Lang", which is a very equal courtesy.
