Chapter 47: The Grace of Yingning
I thought that King Yingning was in the Qinxin Garden, but I didn't expect him to stay in the Jingyuan tonight. After being reported, Ruoxin entered the room where he slept at night.
King Ying Ning had already changed out of the formal crown he wore during the sacrifice, and lay on his back on the mahogany warm chair in a light robe, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resting.
The incense burner in the house was burning with pure sandalwood, and the light smoke curled up, lingering on the beams, and gradually dissipated, King Ying Ning pointed to the seat opposite and motioned Ruoxin to sit down, and asked lazily: "It's so late, what are you looking for this king?" ”
Ruoxin thought about it, and no longer bent around, she directly took out the silk pouch from her arms, presented the string of non-rosary beads contained in it to King Yingning, and said: "Lord, this string of non-rosary beads is now returned to the original." ”
When King Ying Ning heard this, he slowly opened his eyes and glanced deeply at Ruoxin, "Why do you want to return it to this king?" Isn't this something you use to save your life? ”
"That's true." Ruoxin paused, glanced at the rosary, and continued: "It's just that it is useless, this sacrifice Ruoxin did not help the prince, and there is really no reason to accept this string of bone beads again." ”
Slowly sweeping Ruoxin's face without a hint of smile, King Ying Ning closed his eyes again, the four fingers of his right hand were half circled, lightly buckled the armrest of the chair warmer, and after a while, he said loudly: "If it's just because of this, then it's not necessary." Since this king has given away, there is no reason to take it back. ”
"This ......" Ruoxin hesitated.
"If you still have concerns, then even if you owe this king a favor, you will find an opportunity to repay this king in the future."
Ruoxin lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before she said: "The prince's kindness is unforgettable, but Ruoxin has another thing this time, she wants to say goodbye to the prince, but I am afraid that there will be no more rewards." ”
King Ying Ning stopped what he was doing, was quiet for a long time, and then slowly got up from the warm chair and stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands.
Pushing open the window and looking out, the night was heavy, and the sky was drizzling, and the collected rain dripped down the eaves, and the candlelight reflected like silvery tears. There was silence in the room, save for the sound of rain dripping outside.
After a long time, King Ying Ning spoke again: "Is it for Fenghua?" ”
Ruoxin turned her head to look at King Yingning, slightly surprised.
didn't look back, but as if he had anticipated Ruoxin's doubts, King Ying Ning chuckled lightly and said, "If this king is not mistaken, on the way back to the house a few days ago, the person who stopped you was Fenghua's entourage." ”
“...... Precisely. ”
King Ying Ning turned around and leaned against the window, looking at Ruoxin, a fine light flashed in his eyes, "If people know that you have a private relationship with the prince of the enemy country, and you are accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, I am afraid that you will not be able to bear it." ”
Ruoxin's face changed, and she stared at King Ying Ning with wide eyes.
Seeing that Ruoxin's calm expression was broken when she entered the door, the corners of King Ying Ning's mouth rose again, "You want to ask how this king knows that Fenghua is the son of Prince Kelan?" ”
Ying Ningwang's flat tone, he really couldn't hear the joy and anger in it, Ruoxin looked at him wordlessly.
King Ying Ning folded his arms in front of him very casually, "In fact, when I went to Wanchun County to see him, this king already knew. ”
"Wanchun County?" Ruoxin didn't expect King Ying Ning to see through Fenghua's identity so early, but Dongheng Ke Lan has always been hostile, why didn't King Ying Ning make any moves, and ......
"Didn't the prince go to Wanchun County at that time, didn't he go for Jingnu?"
King Ying Ning touched his chin and nodded, "I really want to see and see how the dead have come back to life." ”
Ruoxin was surprised, "The prince also knows that the quiet girl is fake?" ”
When it came to Jingnu, King Yingning finally had a trace of regret on his face, "After the third child was killed in the mansion, the royal brother sent this king to secretly investigate the matter. After that, the royal brother told the king the truth that he had been hiding from our brothers. ”
Glancing at Ruoxin, who was listening quietly, King Ying Ning said slowly: "When I didn't take the throne first, I had a woman who fell in love, but I didn't want that woman to be a princess of an enemy country. The first test had no choice but to send him out of Dongheng, and then he learned that he was pregnant. At that time, the relationship between the two countries was extremely tense for more than ten years, and if the past affair between Princess Ke Lan and Emperor Dongheng was known, I was afraid that the three of them would not be protected. Xian Kao kept this matter a secret, and did not tell him about it until he was on his deathbed. When the king married the princess, Qin Zhenyu assumed the name Jingnu to celebrate the dance for the king, and the royal brother had already recognized her at that time, so he ordered our brothers not to touch her. The third child is adulterous and lustful, if those women are willing, but he likes to secretly occupy the people's daughters. Although I didn't know the reason for that time, after all, it still caused a human tragedy, * sister, God is shameless. King Ying Ning sighed slightly, "I think that it was Fenghua who sneaked into the mansion at that time to avenge my sister." The royal brother didn't like the third brother in the first place, but now he is also the third child who eats his own evil consequences, and he can't blame Fenghua. ”
Ruoxin was dumbfounded when she heard this, and she didn't know what to say.
King Ying Ning looked at Ruoxin, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What, I didn't expect it, right?" This king not only knows that Fenghua is Qin Zhenhua, the son of Ke Lan, but also knows that he is the half-brother of this king. ”
After being silent for a long time, Ruoxin came back to her senses, "The prince is really powerful, what else do you not know?" ”
Hearing Ruoxin's slightly sighing tone, King Ying Ning raised his head and smiled: "Have you only discovered this king's ability until now?" But it's also because it's you, how dare this king have no scruples. Walking straight up to Ruoxin, King Ying Ning nodded Ruoxin's cheek, and said with a regretful expression: "It's a pity." After you leave, there will be no one who can talk to the king in the truth, and without you as a person who can make this king happy in the future, life will be really boring. ”
"There are many people who can make the prince trust."
"It's a pity it's not you." King Ying Ning shook his head and smiled, he walked to the desk on the side of the bedroom, took a burden placed on it, handed it to Ruoxin, and said casually: "This place is thousands of miles away from Ke Lan, and you must not have much silver on you." In the evening, the king has asked his subordinates to pack up the entanglements, so you can take them on the road. ”
The burden was a little heavy, and there were several packs of loose silver and silver tickets inside, Ruoxin's heart was shocked, and she raised her head and said, "Lord Wang, this ......"
