Chapter 50: Temptation
Tang Yanning couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes, but he still continued to maintain a smile on his face, "Yes, I really didn't expect the rumored Qishan real person to be so young and promising, handsome and chic, resourceful, Zhilan Yushu, it's really admirable!" β
She said a lot of praise in one breath, thinking that the person should be satisfied now.
As a result, when he looked at the man, his expression was still faint, and there was an intriguing smile in his eyes.
Tang Yanning couldn't understand this kind of master's psychological state, and felt bored, so he turned to say, "Why is Mr. poisoned?" You should be pretty good at what you're at, right? β
Gu Huaisheng said: "Liang Wangfu has a lot of organs, after all, he is also a mortal in the flesh, where can he not be injured at all, but I didn't expect that his secret weapon was quenched with poison, I thought it was a deadly toxin, I didn't expect it to be a loss of strength, it seems that King Liang should want to capture those who broke into the inner layer alive, right?" β
Last time at Qingquan Temple, King Rui said that he wanted to ask him for something, and it was this thing.
King Liang's account book in the underground bank is kept very secret, King Rui has already sent two groups of people to return in vain, but he also scared the snake to let King Liang transfer the place, as a last resort, King Rui will ask Gu Huaisheng to make a move, after all, none of his subordinates is higher than Mr. Martial arts.
Gu Huaisheng had also observed carefully before he came, who knew that King Liang was so careful, the moment he took the ledger away, hidden weapons began to emerge in all directions, it turned out that the ledger was also the switch of the hidden weapon, and if it was suppressed by something with the same power, the hidden weapon would be triggered instantly, fortunately, he reacted quickly, but he was only scratched a few times, but the last time he scraped his thigh, he quickly felt weak, and he barely managed to the locust tree above Qiuyuan, he really had no strength, dizzy, had no choice but to threaten Tang Yanning to cover him.
He believed that she would do it, and sure enough, it didn't disappoint him.
Tang Yanning listened to his two understatements, and secretly guessed in his heart that the scene at that time must be very dangerous, and it seems that the strength of the person in front of him should not be underestimated.
She continued: "Is there an antidote to the loss of strength?" When will you be able to regain your strength? β
Gu Huaisheng shook his head, "There is no antidote to this loss of strength, you can only wait for yourself to slowly consume the medicinal power, about three days for a good physique, and ten days and half a month for a poor physique." β
Tang Yanning said: "That gentleman thinks he will need a few days to recover?" β
It seems inappropriate for this lonely man and widow to live in the same room!
Gu Huaisheng said lightly: "I can't say for sure, if I hadn't lost so much blood, maybe I would have recovered in three days, but I kept traveling before and caused excessive bleeding, so it is estimated that it will take seven days!" β
"Seven days!"
As soon as she heard about Seven Days, she couldn't help but raise her voice.
Gu Huaisheng glanced outside the door and signaled that she had ears on the wall.
Tang Yanning calmed down at this time, with a sad face.
Seven days, seven days with a strange man, although they must be innocent, but if it is not widely reported, then her reputation will be ruined, not to mention that she has already made a marriage, and she doesn't want to push this family affair yet.
Gu Huaisheng looked at her collapsed little face, and couldn't help asking, "Are you worried that your reputation will be damaged if you have been with me for seven days?" β
Tang Yanning nodded subconsciously, then shook his head as if he suddenly reacted, and explained: "No, sir, it's just that a lonely man and a widow have lived together for seven days, and I'm worried that Mr. will be inconvenient." β
Is she worried about your inconvenience, Gu Huaisheng thought to himself, is she so worried that her reputation will be damaged and her marriage will change?
After struggling for a while, he couldn't help it, and he said tentatively: "Don't worry, if it really goes out and damages your reputation, I will be responsible for you." β
Tang Yanning's eyes widened, isn't it, the number one strategist who may be a supreme minister in the future is actually responsible for a strange woman who gets along for only seven days? Is it so responsible?
Looking at the surprised expression of the person in front of him, Gu Huaisheng coughed lightly, "What, you don't want to?" β
It took a while to react, and she hurriedly said: "No, Mr. is young and promising, honest and responsible, and it is Yan Ning's blessing to be able to fancy Yan Ning, but Yan Ning's status is humble and he dare not climb high, besides, I also have a marriage contract, and I will get married in a few days." β
When she first heard the first half of the sentence, Gu Huaisheng frowned and wished that she could kill a fly, and when she heard the second half of the sentence she admitted that she had a marriage contract, she instantly stretched out, and there was even a slight hint of pleasure in her eyes.
He continued to probe and said: "Your marriage contract is just a substitute for your sister, you can't do it, if you really damage my reputation, just rest assured, I will help you settle that marriage contract." β
"No, you don't."
Tang Yanning resolutely refused, with firmness in his eyes: "Mr. Yan Ning has good intentions, but it is just the order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, how can I resist, and Yan Ning is also very admiring of her future husband, and she is not dissatisfied, even if her reputation is damaged, I believe that my future husband is also a person who can distinguish between right and wrong and has a broad heart, and he will not mind, and I hope that Mr. will not interfere." β
Listening to her say the word "husband", he inexplicably felt very beautiful, as crisp and pleasant as the tinkling of spring water, which was refreshing.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, his tone was still light, and even with a hint of a smile, "Admiring a waste who has failed the list for three consecutive years?" β
Hearing "waste" Tang Yanning couldn't help frowning slightly, inexplicably feeling a little blocked, although she really hadn't seen Gu Huaisheng, but after all, she was the person she was going to marry in the future, and now she was called a waste in the open, and it always felt like slapping her in the face.
"Sir, this is wrong, whether a person has the ability is not to be on the list to prove, do you see how many of the previous champions have entered the court and entered the cabinet? It's not like I'm still staying in the Hanlin Academy and making a small compilation. β
"Look at Lord Liang, who now occupies a place in the court, he was just an errand boy in the Hanlin Academy in his early years, with no education and no connections, didn't he still become an adult in Zhongshu Province, and was deeply relied on, it can be seen that a person is not a waste, whether he has the ability or not has nothing to do with the failure of the list, what is the difference between Mr. and those ignorant people in the market?"
Unconsciously her words were heavy, especially the last sentence, which was suspected of criticism.
When she reacted, she immediately closed her mouth and looked at Gu Huaisheng worriedly.
The person in front of him is a powerful minister in the future, and it is estimated that pinching a person to death is as simple as pinching an ant to death, but I don't know what my mind is, will I hold a grudge?
After waiting for a long time and not seeing her husband's vision, she let go of her worried heart.
After all, he is now kind to him, and he shouldn't be so stingy.
In fact, Gu Huaisheng didn't say anything because he was shocked by her words!
He thought about it for a moment, they should have never met, right?
Since we have never met, why should we explain him, isn't it known that he was rumored to be a waste?
Why, then?
Just because she is about to marry him, she can't allow others to make up ridicule?
I don't understand, I really don't understand!
Although I don't understand, I still feel surrounded by a trace of warmth, faint, warm, but extremely soft and comfortable.
He said, "You know a lot. β
The tone is calm, and no emotion can be heard.
Tang Yanning replied dryly: "It's not much, it's not much, I heard my father mention it by chance, so I remembered it for a while." β
Tang Heng goes to court every day, and it is not surprising that he occasionally talks about political affairs at home and is listened to by children.
He put away his thoughts and asked, "Don't you like King Rui?" Why did you suddenly fall in love with your husband who had never met before? β
Like Ruiwang? Where to start?
She pondered her words and said, "Well, is there any misunderstanding in the middle?" His Royal Highness King Rui is extremely noble and noble, how can I think of it as a little concubine, Yan Ning is still very self-aware. β
Gu Huaisheng looked at her with a smile, "Then you don't like King Rui, how do you know everything about King Rui's behavior?" If it's not admiration, why study a foreign man? Don't...... Do you want to hang the wise king, and want to refuse and welcome? β
Knowing that the person in front of him will be the first favorite under King Rui in the future, his words are very weighty, and now that he will think like this, I don't know if King Rui will think like this.
She just wanted to help King Rui, and then leaned against the big tree to enjoy the shade, but ignored that in the eyes of outsiders, this was undoubtedly admiration.
It's careless, and you have to make it clear before you have time.
"I did inquire about King Rui with my heart, but it was not love, first, I knew that King Rui was a reasonable person, and in this era of rampant materialism and adultery, I needed a fair and honest person like King Rui, and I happened to know some news that would be useful to King Rui, so I planned to help him. Second, I also have selfishness, I am just a little concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, my father does not hurt, my mother is narrow-minded, and it is difficult to move forward in this Prime Minister's Mansion, so I want to find a big tree to lean on, hoping that King Rui will remember my help and take care of me in the future. In addition, Yan Ning has no other ideas, let alone delusional King Rui, and asks Mr. to understand. β
She spoke her thoughts openly and openly, without shying away.
After listening to this, Gu Huaisheng felt a shock in his heart, the tone of the person in front of him was neither humble nor arrogant, without the slightest trace of bending to greet him, sitting there upright, his posture was straight, and he silently exuded a noble temperament, just like the orchid embroidered on the handkerchief, strong and resolute, and noble character.
Gu Huaisheng stared at her, unable to return to his senses for a long time.
Looking at the Qishan monk who had been looking at her in front of her, she was apprehensive, and couldn't help but remind: "Sir, do you understand what Yan Ning means?" β
Gu Huaisheng suddenly smiled faintly, and his tone was brisk, "Don't worry, you don't have any intentions, I will definitely explain it clearly to King Rui in the future." β
Tang Yanning bowed slightly, "Then thank you, sir." β
After talking for a while, Gu Huaisheng realized that he was hungry, and looked at the half plate of xiaolongbao and a bowl of porridge left on the table.
Tang Yanning immediately understood, and hurriedly brought it over to serve in person, no way, who made this gentleman's status unattainable in the future, now is a good time for himself to behave if he is injured, if he has any trouble in the future, maybe he doesn't need to alarm King Rui, he can solve it by looking for this gentleman, after all, King Rui is busy, and his villain family may not take it to heart one by one.
Since the previous life, Tang Yanning has been very deeply aware of how important it is to have a backer, even if she has nothing to do, but having a backer is not something that others can bully at will, she is just an ordinary civilian, and the future Xianggong is also a small champion, so ordinary and ordinary is very good.
Gu Huaisheng enjoyed the care of his "fiancΓ©e" with peace of mind, and his eyes were full of comfort.
