Chapter Thirty-Eight: Sleepless Nights
As soon as Xiangyang was Meng, she just brought Zhu Yuan back, but she didn't care who beat her.
"I don't know that man."
Ning Bosheng's face sank, put down his chopsticks and got up to leave the table.
He blamed himself for being too careless, there were so many fish restaurants in Huainan that were full of dangers, and he actually left her alone and went back to the capital.
"Brother Ruiwang, where are you going?" Xiangyang panicked, the person she finally stayed behind was about to leave before she could say a word.
"Find out who did it."
Lan Ruo saw that his master was so aggrieved that he was about to cry, so he hurriedly walked in front of Ning Bosheng, deliberately blocking his way.
"Lord Wang, just leave the investigation to your subordinates. You've been all the way from the capital, so you have to have a good meal and rest, and then ......"
Lan Ruo looked at Xiangyang with a distressed expression: "You see that the county lord has also put a lot of thought into taking care of Miss Zhu these days, and I want to accompany you more when I see you coming, so you will become the county lord." ”
Zhuo Ge watched with his hands on his chest, and laughed sarcastically: "This county lord is smart, he can make this kind of trick." Our prince won't really agree to her, right? ”
Uncle Cao shook his head helplessly: "The prince is a person who knows how to be grateful, so he can only be wronged." ”
Ning Bosheng looked at Lan Ruo, then looked back at Xiangyang Chuchu's pitiful appearance, and after thinking for a moment, he turned around and returned to the table, silently finishing the rest of the meal.
Xiangyang was happy and secretly gave Lan Ruo a thumbs up behind his back, and all this fell into the eyes of Uncle Cao and Zhuo Ge.
After lunch, Xiangyang pursued the victory and invited Ning Bosheng to accompany him to go shopping the next day.
Before Ning Bosheng could find an excuse to shirk it, Xiangyang preemptively said: "Brother Ruiwang, don't refuse me, I sent two housekeepers from my house to your house to help, and they will arrange the affairs of the house." ”
"Okay."
Back at the palace, Zhuo Ge opened his mouth and asked Ning Bosheng: "Lord, you won't really go out with Princess Xiangyang tomorrow, right?" ”
Ning Bosheng leaned on the back of the chair, picked up the white porcelain auspicious cloud pattern teacup, took a sip, and looked at Zhuo Ge funny: "What? I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? ”
Uncle Cao was carrying Ning Bosheng's luggage in his hand, and walked past him and laughed at him.
"He's been in a hurry since you entered the county lord's mansion, and he doesn't know what to hurry."
Zhuo Ge glanced at Uncle Cao.
"I'm just holding grievances for my master."
"Oh? What's so upset, let's hear it. ”
Ning Bosheng rarely saw Zhuo Ge lose his temper, looked at him with interest, and listened to him patiently.
"Since you met Miss Zhu, either this incident today or tomorrow's incident, you came to Huainan to do something big, not to wipe her ass. I don't believe she's too stupid to see that the county lord saved her to please you, but she's comfortable! ”
Ning Bosheng suddenly slammed the teacup on the table, and his face was not as leisurely as just now.
Zhuo Ge knew that Ning Bosheng was a little angry, but he still stubbornly continued.
"I know that you have taken a fancy to Miss Zhu, but I don't think she deserves your efforts on her! Maybe it might even spoil you! ”
"She saved my life."
Ning Bosheng opened his mouth quietly, his voice was not loud, but the weight was heavy.
One sentence blocked Zhuo Ge speechless.
Indeed, if it weren't for Zhu Yuan's thousands of miles to send fish eyes, Ning Bosheng would have spent at least an arm.
"And she's not like the average woman. Zhu Yuan has her own ideals, and she is more tenacious and resistant than most men. I like her, and she deserves my love. ”
After a pause, he saw that Zhuo Ge's face was not good, and his expression relaxed: "Don't say such things in the future." ”
"Yes." Zhuo Ge looked at the ground, lowered his head and turned to leave.
"Tired or not?" Ning Bosheng asked suddenly.
"Not tired."
"If you're not tired, go and find out, why did the yamen arrest Zhu Yuan, and who beat her."
It was Zhu Yuan's matter again, but what he said just now convinced Zhuo Ge, he was no longer dissatisfied, and turned around and disappeared into the night.
Ning Bosheng couldn't sleep that night.
Today he only saw Zhu Yuan in a hurry, although it was not a big deal from the outside, but she had a difficult step when she left, and it was estimated that the injuries on her body were not shallow.
And what she said when she left, how did she feel a little unhappy.
Is it to blame him for being too cold?
But he was still holding his breath.
Didn't Zhu Yuan know that Xiangyang was hostile to her? Aren't you afraid that Xiangyang will take her back to the house and torture her even harder?
With a sigh, Ning Bosheng walked to the window and looked in the direction of the Zhujia Fish Restaurant.
This can't be blamed on her, she is injured like that, I'm afraid there is no choice.
Since he couldn't sleep, he planned to go for a walk in the yard.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Uncle Cao standing under the porch, wearing only a thin robe.
Ning Bosheng was a little surprised.
"Uncle Cao, why haven't you slept yet?"
Uncle Cao bent over his luggage slightly, and said a little tired: "Seeing that the prince's light has not been extinguished, I am worried that something is wrong, so I came to wait." ”
Ning Bosheng heard this, and felt guilty in his heart.
Uncle Cao has been following him since he was a child, and he has worried a lot about him in the past twenty years, and he is more like his father than the emperor Lao'er who doesn't care about him.
"It's fine, it's just that I can't sleep."
"Are you worried about Miss Zhu?"
Ning Bosheng nodded silently, Uncle Cao still knows himself best.
"I inquired about it in the county lord's mansion, and I wish the girl a whip wound on her body, plus the cold air invades her body. The little maid who went to bring her back said that she was in a water prison when she rescued her. ”
Water Prison ......
The air around Ning Bosheng was cold, his eyes were as cold as the wind blowing snow, staring at the bleak moon.
The water prison caused great damage to the woman's body, and since the whip drew blood marks, it must have been killed.
Who was so ruthless, and if he found out, he would definitely not be able to spare him.
The appearance of half of Zhu Yuan's body soaked in the water prison flashed in front of him, weak and weak.
He suddenly felt distressed, his eyes dilated, and he asked Uncle Cao helplessly: "Uncle Cao, should I care more about her today?" ”
didn't wait for Uncle Cao to answer, he seemed to be sure of his answer, and hurriedly walked out.
Uncle Cao hurriedly grabbed him, and when he saw that Ning Bosheng was abnormal, he asked worriedly: "Where is the prince going?" ”
"I'm going to see her, she's definitely hurting."
Uncle Cao couldn't cry or laugh: "Lord Wang, it's been three shifts now, if you don't sleep, the girl must have slept too." ”
Ning Bosheng came back to his senses, his tense body gradually relaxed, and muttered, "Yes, she must have slept." ”
"Tomorrow, you asked Mr. Wu and asked him to dispense some medicine and send it to Zhu's house."
After explaining this, Ning Bosheng went back to the house and opened his eyes until dawn.
Uncle Cao was wrong, on the third watch, Zhu Yuan didn't fall asleep.
She tossed and turned on the bed, trying to restrain her thoughts.
But the more she held it, the more the thoughts snuck out of her fingers like tiny fish, scurrying around.
