After listening to Mama's words, Ning Zhao nodded, and entered the house, the old lady was still lying quietly on the bed, Ning Zhao came to the bed and sat down, looking at the old lady Ning who had lost so much weight that only skin and bones remained, and his heart hurt again.

"Grandma." Ning Zhao called softly, but Ning Taijun's eyes were closed, and he couldn't even see if he didn't look carefully.

Helplessness and distress tugged at each other, and finally only blended into a bitter sigh.

After staying here for nearly an hour at Mrs. Ning, Ning Zhao was ready to go back, and as soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he was greeted by Ning Lian.

Both of them stopped, Ning Jian looked at Ning Zhao, saw that she looked unhappy, and was indescribably happy in her heart, but she pretended to be concerned on her face: "I haven't seen my sister for half a month, how has my sister lost weight?" It doesn't look very good, could it be that something annoying happened? ”

Although Ning Jian did not participate in the chrysanthemum banquet due to illness, the matter of the fourth princess being given marriage to Jin Yuan spread throughout the palace, and Ning Zhao didn't believe that Ning Jian didn't know.

These words are just to satisfy himself, Ning Zhao thought.

"My sister is very good." Ning Zhao smiled and said lightly: "But I heard that my sister was seriously ill not long ago, and she couldn't even participate in such a big banquet as the chrysanthemum banquet." ”

"My sister just married into the royal family, and I can't participate in this kind of event for the first time, so I must be sorry." Ning Zhao said.

Ning Jian is a pity, whether it is the first time to participate in the royal ceremony as the crown prince's concubine, or to see Ning Zhao embarrassed with her own eyes, these two things are her regrets.

"yes." Ning Zhao didn't have any big feelings about these two sentences, and he was thinking about how to make Ning Zhao's mood worse.

"It's just that my sister heard that there was an interesting thing happening at the chrysanthemum banquet." Ning Lian's eyebrows bent, and he smiled ill-intentionedly, "It's still about my sister." ”

"Oh?" Ning Zhao was unmoved and asked, "Why doesn't my sister know?" ”

"You don't know?" Ning Jian pretended to be surprised, leaned a little closer, and said in a low voice: "The emperor gave marriage to Lord Jin and the fourth princess, such a big thing, my sister really doesn't know?" ”

Ning Zhao pushed two steps away, distanced himself from Ning Lian, his eyes fell on Ning Lian's lower abdomen, and said indifferently: "Sister is talking about this matter." ”

Saying that, Ning Zhao nodded and pulled his gaze back to Ning Zhao's face, "It's true, but what does this have to do with my sister?" ”

"Of course it has nothing to do with me."

Ning Jian chuckled lightly and said bitterly: "I'm just happy for my sister, I can serve a husband with the four princesses, who in the world doesn't know that the emperor's favorite is the fourth princess, if Lord Jin becomes a concubine, he will be promoted to a knight in the future." ”

"I see."

Ning Zhao also smiled and replied: "My sister has just married into the royal family, and she is so used to having three wives and four concubines, oh yes, my sister is just a side concubine, and she is only a concubine, no wonder, it seems that my sister has long been ready to serve a husband with others, so she will be so interested in this matter." ”

As soon as the word 'concubine' came out, Ning Lian's face suddenly became ugly, she looked at Ning Zhao with a calm face, and without the forced smile, the malice overflowed unscrupulously.

"Why bother with my sister, my sister knows that my sister is crying in her heart, but it's not me who wants to serve a husband with you, my sister is so ugly, and the fourth princess can't hear it, what's the point?"

"It's not interesting." Ning Zhao also had a cold face, and didn't have the heart to pretend to be a sisterly with her, and mocked: "It's just that I don't feel comfortable in my heart, and I don't want others to be comfortable, doesn't my sister understand?" ”

Saying that, Ning Zhao directly bypassed Ning Lian, raised his feet and walked out, took two steps Ning Zhao stopped again, turned his head to look at Ning Lian, and met Ning Zhuo's unkind gaze.

Ning Zhao smiled, his smile was extraordinarily bright, and he only heard her say: "I don't care about my sister yet, have the accounts of the Ning Mansion been settled?" My sister has to take good care of herself. ”

Ning Zhao pointed to Ning Lian's slightly bulging lower abdomen, and said mockingly: "You still want to rely on your son to be the queen, don't exhaust yourself, if your son is gone, the queen will be far away from you." ”

"You're ......!" It was the first time that Ning Zhao had heard Ning Zhao sarcastically mock himself so unscrupulously, the original weakness was simply pretended!

Ning Zhao, who is full of malice at this moment, is the real Ning Zhao!

Ignoring the angry Ning Lian, after Ning Zhao finished speaking, he raised his feet and left, not even giving Ning Jian a look, until he walked out of Ning Mansion and got into the carriage, Ning Zhao let out a heavy breath.

Qing Cicada had been by her side, and she was also shocked by Ning Zhao's previous words.

She knew that her young lady was not as weak as she appeared, but she had never seen Ning Zhao's previous appearance, and that malicious smile, Qing Cicada felt a little crazy when she thought about it.

"Miss......" Qing Cicada asked hesitantly, "Are we going home?" ”

Jin Yuan was about to leave tomorrow, Ning Zhao eased the surging emotions, and then said, "Go home." ”

At least before Jin Yuan left, she wanted to see him, whether it was goodbye or anything, Ning Zhao wanted to meet Jin Yuan at this moment.

Back at the house, Jin Yuan also happened to come back from outside, and the two collided at the door, Jin Yuan stopped and looked at Ning Zhao, Ning Zhao got off the carriage and came straight to Jin Yuan's side.

Seeing that her face was not good, Jin Yuan frowned, and was just about to speak, when he was suddenly hugged by Ning Zhao.

"Ah Zhao......" The two hadn't hugged for a long time, and the kiss that fell on the eyes before was just a drop of water, and Jin Yuan didn't even touch a corner of her clothes.

At this moment, Ning Zhao took the initiative to hug him, which suddenly made Jin Yuan a little panicked.

"What's wrong?" Jin Yuan asked worriedly: "Tell me everything, don't hold it in your heart, I ......"

"Don't talk." Ning Zhao buried himself in his arms and interrupted him softly.

Jin Yuan obediently closed his mouth, paused, raised his hand and carefully hugged the person, and gradually increased his strength, as if he wanted to strangle the person into his bones and blood.

"I'm not going with you this time." After a while, Ning Zhao's voice came out, muffled and slightly choked, "Be careful all the way, come back early." ”

"I'm ...... at home" Ning Zhao paused, his voice trembling a little, "Wait for you." ”

Jin Yuan's heart twitched.

The barrier between the two has not been lifted, which makes the two cherish the hug at this moment.

"Half a month at most." Jin Yuan stroked Ning Zhao's backup and promised softly, "Half a month at most, when I come back, this matter will definitely end, we ...... Will definitely go back to the way it used to be. ”

Jin Yuan left, and when he left, it was not yet dawn, there were no lights, and the whole world was plunged into darkness.

Ning Zhao slept very unsteadily all night, her side was empty, as if there was a piece missing from her heart, and by the time she couldn't stay up at all, it was already the second half of the night, so Ning Zhao woke up again, and Jin Yuan had been away for several hours.

"Your Excellency is gone?" Ning Zhao put on his coat, looked at the sun hanging high outside, and muttered.

Qing Cicada called hot water, wrung out the handkerchief, handed it to Ning Zhao and nodded, "Well, I left before the hour." ”
