Chapter 154: The Calm Before the Storm
"Princess...... I ......"
Mo Gongyin's face was a little embarrassed, his black eyes flickered, and he couldn't spit out a complete sentence for a long time!
Usually although she likes to be flamboyant and romantic, she can't enter the play at the critical moment.
At this time, the atmosphere in the room seemed a little ambiguous, even silent.
She didn't know how to answer! Afraid of breaking the princess's heart by saying the wrong thing? Don't make it clear how you should face her infatuation!
Especially what the princess just said, her heart ached faintly, but she could only choose silence for a while.
For some reason, she always felt uneasy, but she couldn't say anything was wrong.
"Hehe......" Nancheng Ni couldn't help laughing when she saw that she was struggling, her eyebrows curled, and she smiled: "I lied to you?" Look at you. How could this princess be as beautiful as a flower and fall in love with you, me? Do you want to marry someone who will be the emperor, and then I will be the queen? ”
There is a strong smile on his face, but deep down he is dripping blood!
Nan Chengni never thought that he would ignore his identity, lower his self-esteem, and show her what was in his heart, but he got a hesitant Mo Gongyin.
However, she doesn't have to get Mo Gongyin's love, as long as she can stay by her side like now, it is enough.
Mo Gongyin stared at her, with a slight pain in her heart, and she also knew very well that Nancheng Ni was a proud person.
She is a princess, the confession and kiss just now, she must have mustered all the courage to dare to do that, but she is so disappointed, how can Nancheng be embarrassed!
"Princess, it's not that I don't reply to you, but the current situation? I can't promise you anything! If ......"
Before Mo Gongyin finished speaking, Nan Chengni stretched out his hand to her lips and interrupted: "Don't say it, I know." Now is not the time to talk about children's affairs, I know. After she finished speaking, she withdrew her hand and turned her back to Mo Gongyin, the tears that she could hold back instantly flooded her eyes, maintaining the last of her self-esteem, and whispered: "I want to go out for a walk, it's too stuffy in this room."
As soon as the words fell, she walked out of the room quickly.
Because her heart hurts! It hurt so much that she wanted to cry loudly!
So she couldn't stay any longer, and then listen to Mo Gongyin say a word, saying those reasons for rejecting her!
She's going to run, run away!
Mo Gongyin stood in place in a daze, looking at the figure of Nan Chengni leaving, taking a deep breath decadently, pursing his lips at a loss, his eyes were sad.
She knew that the reasons she had just pulled were far-fetched, but they were!
Not long after Nan Chengni left, the hidden secret guard quietly walked in, and saw her standing stiffly in the room, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes!
In fact, he heard everything she said to Nan Chengni in the house, but he was not qualified to care.
"Master, my subordinates have already explored the vicinity of the village and found nothing abnormal, nor have they found any traces of the man-eating rats." The Dark Guard walked up to her, bowed his head and gave him a brief report of what she had silently told him to do, not looking at her slightly pale face.
Mo Gongyin's face sank when he heard this, and he moved his body before he looked at the dark guard with a solemn face, thought about it and asked, "But someone left quietly?" ”
She still didn't believe much in Prime Minister Jiang, after all, what kind of person he was, she still couldn't figure it out.
The dark guard glanced up at her, his face calm, and replied affirmatively, "No suspicious people left the town."
That's the best! She can stay here for two days with peace of mind, deal with the affairs here as soon as possible, and then leave to find Nancheng Xun in the north.
"So for now! Your task is to protect the princess and go out with her, I have other things to do. Mo Gongyin raised his eyebrows, and after that, he walked out of the house.
The Dark Guard didn't understand! Why can't Mo Gongyin tell the truth to the princess?
If you say it! The princess wouldn't be so miserable!
Are emotional matters so complicated?
Fortunately, I didn't encounter such a complicated thing! Otherwise, his head will be bigger!
When Mo Gongyin came out of the house, she saw that the sky was already dawn, and the sky was still snowing, and she walked to the road to look at the snow-covered village outside. She looked up at the sky, still falling from the snowflakes falling on her hair, and her face did not feel cold, but felt a little bitter in her heart.
It's been 10 years! In the past ten years, she has faced every night, every winter, every morning, every sun, every rainy day alone, and she sometimes feels that such days are so tiring and boring!
I really want to do nothing! Don't think about it, then close your eyes and go back to your own world.
But where is the world that belongs to you?
I don't know how long I've been standing! I feel like I'm about to freeze into a snowman. She reacted and turned to look into the noisy corners in the distance.
There are more than a dozen villages in Gaoping Township, and the only village that has been attacked by man-eating rats is currently this one called Tunli.
Not far from the village chief's house was a large dam, and there were several small houses around it, and all the people of the town were gathered together, and Nanchengni, who ran out of the house, also went.
Mo Gongyin walked towards the dam along with the noisy sound, and when he saw Nan Chengni and some women talking and laughing, he was immediately relieved.
"Gong Yin, you're here, they and I are cooking wheat porridge!" Nan Chengni and a group of village women were busy cooking porridge when they saw her appear and ran towards her with their skirts in hand.
Mo Gongyin didn't expect that she was stronger than she imagined, and she was relieved after a while, in fact, she also understood that in this case, she couldn't give her any promises, this was by no means perfunctory!
"Are you hungry?" Mo Gongyin looked at her and smiled like a child, her face was like a little cat, so she asked her with a smile.
"One thing, can I make this bowl of porridge of yours with my own hands?" Nan Chengni stood in front of her, smiling sweetly and looking at her expectantly.
It's as if everything that just happened in the house has never happened.
"Good!" Mo Gong Yin smiled and nodded.
Nan Chengni got her reply and ran back to continue cooking with a group of village women, while Mo Gongyin went to another corner of the dam to see Imperial Physician Wu and Xia Yinxi making corpses together in the same room, and other villagers were also helping to grind herbs. On the other side, the village chief had already prepared the fire fold according to her instructions, and many barrels of oil had been found.
When the village chief saw her enter the house, he politely greeted her, while the villagers stood out of the way and asked her to sit on their chairs.
"Your Highness, I have arranged all the things you ordered, this dam is usually used by us to congratulate and watch dramas, and it just so happens that I have called everyone here, and they are more concentrated together. The fire fold, the oil is ready, what are we going to do next? ”
Mo Gongyin was very satisfied with what the village chief had done, and after entering the house, she did not sit down, but stood and looked at everyone with a smile, and said, "Next, we are looking for the nest of the devouring rats, village chief, where do you think the darkest and damp place is here?" Or where is the garbage being piled up? ”
"Why did Your Highness suddenly ask about this?" The village chief looked puzzled, and everyone was also puzzled.
"Have you forgotten what a rat is? It just likes to stay in damp and dirty places. Mo Gongyin reminded everyone with a solemn face.
When the village chief heard this, he suddenly realized, and said hurriedly: "Why did I forget, I will send someone to inquire around, and immediately notify His Highness if there is news." ”
"Then be careful, and don't act rashly even if you find something suspicious." Mo Gongyin deliberately admonished in a deep voice.
"I understand." The village chief is not an impulsive person and is very calm in his work.
"That's right, village chief. For the time being, is you the only village in Gaoping Town that has been raided by man-eating rats? Mo Gongyin asked worriedly.
She was afraid that there would be persecution in other places besides this place.
"I haven't heard of it yet, and I probably haven't continued to other villages. However, several other villages heard about our situation here, and they were all extra cautious and prepared. The village chief frowned, then replied calmly.
I see! It seems that the person who controls everything in the back finally has a bit of a conscience, and only targets this village.
Things seemed to be going well, as she expected.
In the two days she came, she was also very calm, there were no man-eating rats, and even Nan Wuqing's pursuit had no news.
Imperial Physician Wu and Xia Yinxi have been studying the composition of the corpse in the house, and they have never left the door except for going to the thatched house.
And the village chief also listened to her arrangement, prepared a lot of oil, and almost everyone had fire folds on them, and even quietly found the place where the man-eating rat could hide.
This was their third day in the village, and she rarely rested in these three days, even if she was tired.
Only the princess can sleep quietly, because she is by the princess's side to protect her. The past two days have been so peaceful, so calm that it makes her feel uneasy, as if it were the eve before the storm, which makes people very suspicious.
After the princess woke up, she was called to breakfast by the village chief's wife, and Mo Gongyin followed the village chief to see Imperial Doctor Wu, and heard that they had successfully made a lot of white powder.
She was ecstatic and ran to find Imperial Doctor Wu, if there was a surplus corpse, it would be more than enough to deal with the man-eating rats, and the chances of winning would be more.
Research in the pharmacy.
Mo Gongyin looked at the hundreds of medicine bottles in the table and private room, and she looked at Imperial Doctor Wu who was standing next to her in disbelief.
"All of them?"
Doctor Wu didn't close his eyes for a few days and nights! It was to study this medicinal powder and then make more portions according to his wishes, because of the limited time and medicinal materials, he could only make more than 300 bottles.
His face was a little pale, and the dark circles under his eyes were also very heavy, "Your Highness, this is the fastest speed that the old man has made." I've tried it too, and it's exactly what you gave me in the bottle, and there won't be any errors. There was a deep tiredness in his tone, and his voice was a little hoarse.
Mo Gongyin knew that he had done his best, and he had indeed worked hard.
