Chapter 30: Breaking the Siege
"I tripped you?" Ning Zhao frowned, and he already knew it in his heart.
Although it was different from what happened in her previous life, the fourth princess clearly wanted to make things difficult for her, and this obvious intention was not clear to anyone present.
Ning Zhao calmly swept around the crowd, casually pointed to the place where he had just stood, and asked sarcastically: "I'm in the middle of the terrace, you said to send wine, did you come to give it to me?" ”
"Dare to use strong words!" The fourth princess made up her mind to clean her up, how could she give her a chance to defend herself, and immediately shouted: "Ning Zhao destroyed the things given by the emperor, and climbed others, stirring up nonsense and shirking responsibility, so inferior, how can he obey the public if he is not punished." ”
"Someone!"
"The minions are here." The chamberlain stepped forward to respond.
"Give me forty heavy slabs and punish them in public!" The fourth princess made a loud noise, and sat back on the high platform, staring at Ning Zhao coldly.
Several internal attendants obeyed the order and rushed up, holding Ning Zhao hostage from left to right, and even worse, directly bent at Ning Zhao's leg with a kick, trying to make her kneel down and be punished.
"The fourth princess wants to punish the courtiers, there is no need to find so many reasons, but the courtiers also want to ask the princess, where is the law and discipline? The courtiers are not convinced! Ning Zhaosheng took the next kick, and there was already an injury on her leg, which made her frown fiercely.
She is not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded by others, in such a large public, the fourth princess is rude, but she is alone, and only by making things big may she be able to escape.
"Bastard! Not only did she not repent, but she dared to question this princess! "The four princesses are angry.
This is the inner courtyard of the palace, and she wants to punish a concubine, so why do you need any laws and disciplines.
I want her life, it's just a matter of her thoughts.
"Don't do it yet? What are you waiting for! "The four princesses filmed the case, and the attendants did not dare to delay, suppressing Ning Zhao to be executed.
Seeing that the board was about to fall on Ning Zhao, some people around him turned their heads and couldn't bear to look at it.
On the contrary, Ning Lian, who was the eldest sister of Ning Zhaoyan, stared at this scene with her eyes, and there was excitement that could not be concealed.
"Stop it!" A loud shout reached everyone's ears.
Ning Zhao frowned slightly when he heard this, but the fourth princess looked at the person in surprise and stood up directly.
"Brother Crown Prince, why are you here?" The fourth princess stepped forward to greet Murong Cheng and asked.
"This palace and Lord Jin enjoyed the scenery and had a drink, but I was disturbed by your movement, so I came to take a look, let's talk about it, what's going on?" Murong Cheng glanced at the fourth princess and walked towards the main throne with his feet raised.
"My sister doesn't know that it shouldn't be disturbed by the royal brother." The fourth princess followed behind Murong Cheng, and after saying that, she glanced at Jin Yuan on the side, who knew that this person didn't notice herself at all, and her eyes were still glued to Ning Zhao.
Feeling the scorching gaze falling on his body, Ning Zhao's heart jumped, and he looked at Jin Yuan quietly, and then quickly lowered his eyes.
The fourth princess was jealous, raised her hand at Ning Zhao, gritted her teeth and said: "This lowly concubine has destroyed the things given by her father, and she dares to contradict the quibble, and my sister also wants to punish the big admonition, and it is just a good punishment for the servant." ”
When the words fell, Murong Cheng looked at the broken guqin in the field, and asked lightly, "Is this the qin?" ”
"Exactly." The fourth princess replied.
"It's such a trivial matter, why make such a big fuss."
Hearing this, Murong Cheng smiled faintly, looked at the fourth princess, and said, "My father gave me a few good pianos, all of them are high-quality, if the imperial sister likes it, she will come to my palace another day to choose them." ”
"As for Second Miss Ning." Murong Cheng looked at Ning Zhao again, his eyes became gentle, and said: "This palace believes that she is also an unintentional mistake, it is rare to have a good day today, don't let this little thing spoil everyone's interest." ”
"But Brother Huang, she ......"
The fourth princess looked at the prince in surprise, not understanding why he would relieve Ning Zhao from the siege, and just wanted to add more fire, but the prince waved his hand to interrupt her words.
"Today's matter is over, the flower-viewing banquet should have been harmonious, but it's still early, let's continue."
The prince spoke, and the fourth princess didn't dare to have a seizure, so she had to glared at Ning Zhao fiercely, and said unwillingly: "Since the royal brother has said so, even if you go away today, this princess will let you go." ”
"Don't get out of here!" After the fourth princess finished speaking, she took a few deep breaths before maintaining her demeanor, and Shi Shiran walked to the prince and sat down.
The Ning Zhao sisters walked back to their seats, and when they passed by Jin Yuan's side, Ning Zhao paused, and when he saw the residual worry in his eyes, his heart warmed, and he bowed slightly towards Jin Yuan, and then he sat down.
This subtle scene stabbed the eyes of the fourth princess fiercely, and she couldn't wait to cut Ning Zhao with a thousand knives now, but the prince came forward to protect Ning Zhao, and the fourth princess was jealous and helpless.
Thinking of this, the fourth princess turned her head to look at the prince, and complained with her eyes - why did the prince protect this concubine?
Don't......
Thinking of that possibility, the fourth princess's eyes brightened a lot, and then carefully observed the prince's eyes when he looked at Ning Zhao, and his heart instantly understood.
I see!
If the crown prince takes a fancy to Ning Zhao, then Jin Yuan will ......
Thinking of this, the fourth princess felt happy in her heart, but her resentment against Ning Zhao was still unabated, and she was just thinking about another way to rectify Ning Zhao.
Ning Zhuo, who watched the whole process of coming out of the peak, couldn't come back to his senses, seeing that Ning Zhao was about to be punished, but he killed a prince halfway!
As soon as the play was gone, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince defended Ning Zhao in public!
Ning Jian couldn't digest the ups and downs, she was jealous and unwilling, she hung her head and glared viciously at the case in front of her, as if it was Ning Zhao, and she couldn't wait to stare out of a few holes.
The singing and dancing resumed, and everyone seemed to have no previous play, and the flower-viewing banquet was lively here.
Jin Yuan was arranged at the bottom right of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the two chatted and drank, and the fourth princess interjected from time to time, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Until the end of the banquet, there was no wave.
However, as if he remembered something, Murong Cheng suddenly took out a handkerchief from his arms, looked at Ning Zhao not far away, then smiled, picked up the wine glass, and walked over.
Ning Zhao didn't want to make another incident, so when he returned to his seat, he buried his head and lowered his eyes, looking indifferent to everything around him.
It wasn't until a shadow was pressed overhead, and the sound was familiar enough to make her tremble in her ears, that she raised her head slightly.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." Ning Zhao blessed his body and called respectfully.
"Second Miss Ning doesn't need to be polite." Murong Cheng raised his hand and said with a smile: "Before, thanks to the treatment of Second Miss Ning, the leg of this palace was able to recover, the last time we met at the poetry meeting, I wanted to thank the girl in person, but I didn't have time." ”
Murong Cheng held the handkerchief and groped for a moment, raised the wine glass towards Ning Zhao, and said gently: "This palace respects the second girl Ning with a glass, thank you for the grace of the day." ”
Ning Zhao didn't answer, lowered his eyes and replied: "It's just a gesture, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite, besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just rescued him, and it should be the courtiers who thank him." ”
Having said that, Ning Zhao looked cold and distant, and feeling her resistance, Murong Cheng frowned slightly.
