Chapter 28: Friend or Foe
As soon as Chen's mother closed the door, Nangong Jin'an raised her head and shouted, "Above!" There's no one anymore, do you need to come down for a cup of tea and go up again! Nangong Jin'an smiled.
Wang Cheng could naturally hear that he was laughing at himself, and in desperation, he could only jump down.
"Miss Nangong!" Wang Cheng didn't say anything, just said goodbye lightly.
"You've worked hard to protect us all the way back, you can go back now, after all, your prince has been in the limelight today, and you also need to go back to protect him." Nangong Jin'an said, there is no shortage of worries.
"My prince doesn't need Miss Nangong to worry, as long as Miss Nangong doesn't let my prince worry about you, Wang Cheng is grateful." Wang Cheng's words seemed to be ridiculing Nangong Jin'an.
"To be honest, I don't like you to be with my prince, but I don't know why my prince is so partial to you."
"I've been following the prince for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen him say he likes a girl so seriously." Wang Cheng had too much reluctance to stand for Ling Changwu in his heart.
After all, this was the first time Ling Changwu liked a girl, but Nangong Jin'an didn't care at all.
"Wang Cheng, I know what you want to say, but sometimes, liking doesn't have to be together, and not being together doesn't mean that two people don't like it." Nangong Jin'an said,
Wang Cheng shook his head, he didn't understand what Nangong Jin'an was saying at all, but he knew that this was the usual excuse of the women.
"Miss Nangong, you can't understand what you said Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng just knows that our master has given up too much for you, why you still don't want to be with him." Wang Cheng finally couldn't hold back the thoughts in his heart, and asked Nangong Jin'an bluntly.
"Wang Cheng, do you have anyone you like?" Nangong Jin'an suddenly turned his head and asked Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng shook his head, he and Ling Changwu have been together for so many years, in addition to the men he contacts every day, where have he met other women, not to mention that the affairs of his own prince have not been resolved, where can it be his turn to express his emotions.
"Wang Cheng, if one day I insist on marrying Qingsui to you, are you willing!" Nangong Jin'an must now think about the future for the people closest to him.
She felt that Wang Cheng was really a good candidate, not only honest and reliable, but also a martial artist, presumably even if he did not follow Ling Changwu to fight on the battlefield in the future, he would be able to eat and wear without worrying.
"The slave doesn't know what Miss Nangong means!" Wang Cheng suddenly lowered his head a little shyly.
He and Qingsui haven't met a few times in total, so how can they delay the innocence of other girls.
What's more, Wang Cheng himself can also know that he can't give anyone the future they want at all, he is a slave who protects his family and defends the country, and today he doesn't know that his head will not be around his neck tomorrow, how can he give others a future.
"Wang Cheng, even if you don't say it, I know your thoughts, and I think the same as you." Nangong Jin'an could see the shyness on Wang Cheng's face and subconsciously glanced out of the door.
"In this turbulent world, each of us has no way to know if we will be able to live unharmed tomorrow."
"It's not so much that we don't want to, it's just that deep down we are not brave enough. There is no way for us to let the people we love survive alone. Nangong Jin'an looked at Wang Cheng solemnly after speaking, she hoped that Wang Cheng could understand what she meant.
"Miss Nangong, the villain doesn't understand the big truths you said, but since he was a child, the prince told the slave that everything needs to be happy." After Wang Cheng finished speaking, he put down the teacup in his hand and continued to return to his roof.
The task given to Wang Cheng by Ling Changwu was to protect the safety of Nangong Jin'an without being exposed, even if the secret protection had evolved into an overt concern now, then it was necessary for Wang Chengcheng to go back and explain all this to the prince.
The Prince's Mansion.
"Wang Cheng, why are you back?" Ling Changwu looked at Wang Cheng with a puzzled look on his face after he came in from the door.
Obviously, he had already instructed Wang Cheng to take good care of Nangong Jin'an, but now Wang Cheng suddenly appeared in the palace.
"Back to the prince, Wang Cheng has already revealed his whereabouts, so I hereby come back to ask the prince if he will continue to protect Miss Nangong in Nangong Mansion." Wang Cheng told Ling Changwu that he had been discovered by Nangong Jin'an.
"In that case, then you don't need to go, since she already knows, if we go again, we are afraid of arousing her unnecessary suspicion."
"I don't want to give her any more trouble." Ling Changwu said softly.
Wang Cheng turned around and wanted to leave, but he walked back again, looking like he wanted to say something, and kept staring at Ling Changwu tightly.
"If you have anything to say, you can say. It's just you and me here, and what else is there to say, is there anything we can't say? Ling Changwu's words gave Wang Cheng enough confidence and trust.
"Forgive the slave for his courage, the slave really doesn't know why the prince has to make his own hot face to stick to her cold cheeks since Nangong Jin'an has already rejected the prince."
"In this mausoleum, as long as the prince says a word, there is no girl who is unwilling to marry the prince, why does the prince want to like such a young lady Nangong who doesn't know what to do." Wang Cheng said, more for Ling Changwu to feel unworthy.
Ling Changwu sat directly on the chair very angrily, and then casually threw the teacup in his hand directly to the ground, and then could only hear the sound of the teacup falling to the ground.
Wang Cheng knelt on the ground, he had never seen his own prince so angry, in Wang Cheng's heart, the prince has always been a person who does not show it.
If he's angry, he's really angry.
I saw that Ling Changwu slowed down for a long time, looked at Wang Cheng with a look of hatred for iron, and said seriously, "That's why I let you protect Nangong Jin'an during this time, in addition to wanting you to protect her safety, I hope you can re-acquaint yourself with Nangong Jin'an through observation." ”
"She is completely different from all the young ladies in Lingcheng, and you will never find a second Nangong Jin'an in Lingcheng." Ling Changwu said with a doting face, as if every time Ling Changwu talked about Nangong Jin'an, he would be inexplicably happy in his heart.
"Lord Wang, it is precisely because of the observation of the slave during this period of time that I can hope that the prince will stop paying attention to Miss Nangong."
"Today, even if the prince wants the villain's life, the villain has to say, I chatted with Miss Nangong for a while today, and she said to me that sometimes people who love each other don't have to be together, and not being together doesn't mean not loving each other."
"Lord Wang, she is clearly quibbling, obviously disgusted with the prince and has to say some high-sounding words to excuse herself." Wang Cheng's words were full of disgust, and he couldn't understand what Gong Jin'an said.
"Wang Cheng, is what you just said Miss Nangong said herself?" Ling Changwu suddenly felt a hint of happiness, this was the first time that Nangong Jin'an admitted that he liked him.
Wang Cheng nodded, he really hoped that his prince would not be hurt again, after all, for so many years, everyone thought that the prince was free.
However, only Wang Cheng knew how bitter and sad his prince was in his heart.
"Wang Cheng, in the future, you will monitor the second brother for me, and you don't need to ask about other things." Ling Changwu said suddenly.
Today, in the garden, the second prince kept talking for himself, even after Nangong Jin'an had left, Ling Huai chased him out, Ling Changwu wanted to know whether his second brother was friend or foe.
After all, in such a deep palace, if you make a wrong step, then you are likely to lose your life in the future.
"Lord Wang, have you really thought about participating in the affairs of this palace? Isn't it also very easy to be a chic and leisurely prince! "Wang Cheng really has no way to let the prince of his family be in danger.
"Wang Cheng, over the years, have I indulged you too much, so that you can't tell who is the master between you and me!" Ling Changwu angrily directly overturned the Mo table on the side to the ground.
Wang Cheng also hurriedly lowered his head, "Yes!" Rajah. ”
Subsequently, Wang Cheng walked out of the palace alone, thinking about the prince who has changed his personality now, he doesn't know whether this is good or bad, and he can't tell whether the prince is now because of Nangong Jin'an or because of his own ambition.
However, Wang Cheng knew that as long as it was ordered by the prince, whether it was going up the knife mountain or going down to the sea of fire, he would complete it, after all, his life was saved by the prince, if there was no prince, he would have been buried in the ground for several years.
Ling Changwu sat quietly in the room alone, thinking about everything that happened today, some things he knew, but some things he couldn't figure out no matter what.
Perhaps, it is really because he doesn't ask about the court all the year round, and naturally there are no henchmen who belong to him in the court.
"Is the second brother and the fourth brother supposed to work together, but the fourth brother is the queen's biological son, no matter how you look at it, he should also be in the same faction as the eldest brother." Ling Changwu said to himself.
Soon after the birth of the fourth prince, the queen had to hand over her newborn prince to the daughter of the military general in the harem in order to consolidate the power of the previous dynasty.
However, the queen also did something in it to prevent the daughter of this military general, and in the future, she will have children of her own.
To this day, the concubine still doesn't know the fact that she will never have children of her own in her life.
