Chapter 696: A Difficult Choice

"Wang Xu! You bastard, liar, scoundrel, let me out of the palace, I won't be your princess! ”

With tears in the corners of his eyes, Zhang Ning made a noise in the garden in the Yongning Hall of the North Palace.

She followed Wang Xu back to the North Palace, but saw that Diao Chan was fine, mentally healthy, with ruddy cheeks, and no sickness at all on her beautiful face, she immediately knew that she was deceived and angry, Wang Xu didn't care so much, and only said one sentence in front of the women: You will be the princess in the future, live in the palace with peace of mind, and after the official canonization, you can enter and exit freely.

Then under the service of Xiao Min and Xiao Ling, they went to bathe and change clothes.

Zhang Ning understood everything in an instant, didn't say a word, turned around and left, and Wang Xu let him do his own thing.

But this is also the royal city, now the security is very tight, they are all in, how can they go out lightly, except for Nangong, if the women of the other three palaces do not have tokens, no one can get out at all, and as a result, they are locked up in the huge palace, of course, she ran back violently.

"Ning'er, why should you?"

"Yes! The Chu Palace can't get out without a token now! ”

Diao Chan and Cai Yan persuaded each other one after another, but Zhang Ning was so angry that her face was red and she couldn't speak.

Xu Shu and Yan Ming were extremely calm, sitting on the recliner calmly, blowing the cool breeze, enjoying the delicious fruits, they knew that this would be the result.

"Sister, you can also persuade Ning'er! Or persuade the husband? Sun Shangxiang saw that Zhang Ning was very aggrieved, and couldn't help but beg Xu Shu, they all knew that only Xu Shu had a way.

"Huh!" Xu Shu's beautiful face was full of smiles, and she said unhurriedly, "No." This level. Ning'er has to live on her own. Everyone comes to sit, this deep palace compound is lively and lively, come and come, everyone moves a chair, and they all come to eat the fruit! ”

"Hee-hee!" All the women laughed out loud.

"Sister, you're getting funnier and funnier!" Yan Ming said with a smile.

"Really? I don't think so! Just to make it easy for everyone! Xu Shu said with a smile.

"Sister!" Zhang Ning stomped his feet and cried angrily: "Even you don't help me!" ”

"Sister, I'm here to help you. If I really help you get out of the palace, don't blame my sister in the future! Xu Shu smiled faintly, showing grace and generosity in her gestures.

Zhang Ning's silver-white teeth bit her lower lip tightly: "Sister, if you are willing to help your sister out of the palace, it is too late for my sister to be grateful, how can I blame you!" ”

"Really?" Xu Shu smiled noncommittally.

At this time, Wang Xu's laughter also came from a room: "Ning'er, I have already proposed to your brother, and he also promised to hand you over to me." So. You're a princess now, so you can't do whatever you want. Before the official canonization, you can't leave the palace of the king of Chu! ”

As he spoke, he had already changed his clothes and walked out of the house accompanied by Xiao Min and Xiao Ling.

"You bastard!" Zhang Ning's tears fell in an instant, and he was pitiful: "Why are you lying to me and saying that Sister Diao Chan is critically ill?" ”

"Poof!" The juice that Xu Shu had just drunk in her mouth squirted out instantly, but fortunately she reacted quickly, and skimmed her head, otherwise she would have sprayed directly on Zhao Yu next to her.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Xu Shu was choked, coughed several times before relieving her breath, and looked at Wang Xu with disgust: "How can you use such a deception, can people not be angry!" ”

Wang Xu scratched his head in embarrassment: "This saves trouble!" ”

The girls were happy and looked at him speechlessly.

"Ning'er, your husband has a heart for you, and you also like your husband, why bother?" Cai Yan gently persuaded.

"I don't like him!" Zhang Ning flatly denied it, but his eyes were obviously flickering.

When Xu Shu heard this, she looked at her for a long time, and finally got up from the recliner and walked towards her slowly: "Alas! You girl, a blind man can see it, is there any point in quibbling? Parents are no more, the eldest brother is in charge, and your brother has now agreed to this, your affection, everyone also sees it, why continue to live in the shadows? ”

As she spoke, she looked back at Wang Xu, and then at Zhang Ning: "Since Guangzong back then, you have been entangled with him since childhood, and for more than twenty years, it is time to make a decision, if it continues like this, it will not be good for you or him, you ask yourself in your heart, what do you want and what do you expect?" ”

"Today, my sister can help you get out of the palace, and she can also persuade him not to force you anymore, but do you really want to? You and I sisters, sister as the master of the harem, can only say so much, if you insist on leaving, all the sisters will send you out of the palace together, but you think clearly, when you walk out of here again today, it is likely that you will never see him again in the future, whether he is dead, alive, happy, angry, sad, happy, you can't see it, you will have your way forward, and he can only walk on his own road! ”

Wang Xu did not deny Xu Shu's words and watched quietly.

The two have the same mind, Xu Shu knows him too well, and understands that he tricked Zhang Ning into the palace, just to make a decision, but there are some things that he is not easy to say, so Xu Shu said that as the master of the harem, she can only say it.

"I'm going to ...... Out of ......"

Zhang Ning opened his mouth to speak, but found that he couldn't say the palace word, and his expression became more and more complicated and tangled.

There are too many memories in her mind, almost half of the joys, sorrows and sorrows of her life revolve around Wang Xu's figure, whether it is hate, anger, dependence, attachment, sadness, happiness, even dreams and pursuits, in short, they are all related to this person, she is a little dazed, if there is really no intersection with this person, then how should she live?

Suddenly, Zhang Ning's voice came, distant and so familiar: "You forced my father to death, and killed my mother and family, if you don't kill me today, I will definitely take revenge in the future." Remember my appearance, remember my name - Zhang Ning! ”

Wang Xu was slightly stunned, and instantly remembered that this was exactly what Zhang Ning had said when Guangzong let him go.

The young and thin shadow of the year gradually overlaps with today's beauty!

The little girl who was lonely and helpless, her eyes were full of hatred and confusion, and the innocent and helpless pure eyes under the flames of war! Deep, intense again!

Even the shock in his heart at that time rose again, so clear, so violent.

After a long time, he showed the gentle smile he used to have, as if he had been back then, and his tone was still as gentle. "Hmmm! I'm waiting for you to kill me! ”

"You people know how to fight, you know how to kill, you know how to harm others, what else will you do? Have you ever thought about other people's feelings......" The same words sounded from Zhang Ning's mouth, but there was no such grief and indignation and desolation as back then, but more indescribable vicissitudes.

Wang Xu was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "I owe you an answer back then, but when you assassinated me for the first time many years ago, I sued you, and now it's the same!" ”

"So for what?" Zhang Ning said leisurely, crystal tears slowly rolling down the creamy skin!

"For the world!"

Zhang Ning couldn't stop crying: "What should I do? ”

Xu Shu smiled slightly, and took over the words in a soft tone: "Ning'er, you just need to make the choice you want, you can't afford to remember the right and wrong of the battle in the world!" Those have become the past, become history, if you don't get rid of it, you will become a victim of that history for the rest of your life, now, you have the opportunity to be a woman, I think your father does not want you to continue his sorrow! Just like your brother, he is willing to agree, it is because of his love for you that he does not want you to be innocent, God will not have mercy on anyone, and people can only choose their own way forward. ”

As her words fell, a timid child's voice sounded, slightly immature, it was the well-behaved and lovely little Wang Xuan. "Aunt Ning, don't cry! Can Xuan'er dance for you? Xuan'er also learned to make pastries with Yu Niang! It's okay to give it all to Aunt Ning! Aunt Ning, don't cry! ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

Zhang Ning instantly squatted on the ground and cried bitterly, crying very sadly and hoarsely!

But it was also a release, because she made the decision!

All the women stepped forward to comfort her and accompanied her tenderly.

When Wang Xu saw this, he sighed, but he didn't go up, because he should avoid it now.

Since then, Zhang Ning finally let go of his knot completely, lived in the palace, and was accompanied by all the women.

A day later, Wang Xu sent a female official to inform the ministers that Zhang Ning was officially accepted as a concubine, but Zhang Ning's birth and identity were not announced, just because the time was not yet ripe.

Although there was no fanfare about the concubine this time, a banquet was still held in the North Palace and the ministers and family members were invited, which was finally lively!

On that day, Zhang Ning finally fully bloomed his smile, as beautiful as a fairy in the dust, which was amazing!

She finally got her own happiness, and Wang Xu completely let go of a heart, a heart that had sunk in his heart for 20 years!

Under Xu Shu's grasp, the harem still continues to live a happy and harmonious life, but while Wang Xu is happy, he also has to be busy with military and political affairs again.

Three days after accepting Zhang Ning as a concubine, he returned to Xiangyang for the first court meeting.

Prior to this, he also understood all the details of the Hanzhong case, and the twists and turns surprised him even more.

At that time, Guo Jia and others were busy with military and political affairs, and they couldn't get out, and Yi and Liu Tao couldn't find any evidence for a long time in Hanzhong, but Liu Tao planted the name of framing, which spread more and more, and many ministers began to suspect it.

Seeing that the shape was developing in a bad direction, when Guo Jia, Fu Zhu and others were ready to take action in person, Liu Yi, who had retired at home, was annoyed, after all, Liu Tao was his own son, and if he continued like this, not only would he damage the reputation of the family, but he would also be guilty, so he directly found Guo Jia and begged him to participate in the investigation of the case.

Guo Jia and the others were already too busy to have time, and seeing that Liu Yi was willing to go out in person, how could they be unhappy, so they immediately authorized it.

Liu Yi then began to understand the whole story of the case, and within three days, he found Ling Wanqing for help, wanting to use the power of the spy shadow.

Ling Wanqing respected him very much, and in his early years, he was often guided and helped by him, and of course he agreed.

It's just that its next actions were completely unexpected...... (To be continued......)
