Volume 1: Born of Vengeance Chapter Seventy-Four: Allies
"Sister Ning, are you having an awkward relationship with Brother Yue?" Shangguan Yunxin thought that yesterday she learned that Ning Zhixuan was going to enter the palace, so she specially sent someone to invite Shangguan Hanyue, but the latter said that she was going to Fengming Mountain to visit the queen and couldn't come back.
"Why do you suddenly ask that?" Ning Zhixuan couldn't help but feel nervous when she heard Shangguan Hanyue's name, but she pretended not to care much on her face and said, "After I returned to the imperial capital, I went back to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion directly, and I have never seen the prince, so why make a fuss." ”
"That could be my heart." Shangguan Yunxin was afraid that Ning Zhixin would guess something, so he hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "I heard that Ning Wanhua was infected with wind cold?" Saying that, Shangguan Yunxin glanced around, and Pa Yun immediately sent all the palace people out.
Although Shangguan Yunxin is in the palace, she is simple-minded and ignorant of the world, but she is not completely ignorant of the dispute between the palace and the palace, the moment her biological mother crashed into the pillar and died, she was destined to no longer be an innocent and simple ninth princess, not to mention that the imperial concubine regarded Shangguan Hanyue as a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh in order to compete for the throne. Shangguan Yunxin didn't know that in the palace for the supreme position, his brothers turned against each other, and the blood flowed like a river.
"Ning Banghua probably didn't have a cold, right?" Shangguan Yunxin lowered his voice and said, "Is Ning Banghua's 'wind chill' now related to your distress in the north?" ”
"You guessed right, Ning Banghua was sealed by me with a silver needle, if it weren't for the imperial concubine who invited a master for her, she would already be a waste now." Ning Zhixin felt that Shangguan Yunxin was born in the center of the whirlpool of power, so he would inevitably be coerced into the struggle for the throne, and if he couldn't escape, he could only kill the Buddha and kill others, and kill a bloody path by himself, and he would not be like her in her previous life, she didn't understand that there was already a crisis around her, and the people around her were all sinister, and in the end, she was so unexplained that she was killed and wasted the rest of her life.
"I used to think that she was just a little arrogant, but I didn't want her to be so vicious." Shangguan Yunxin used to only think that Ning Wanhua boasted of being noble and had no dust, but this time when he saw her killer Ning Zhixuan, he was shocked to realize that Ning Wanhua and the imperial concubine were people all the way.
"Now that you know in your heart, it's good to be more wary of her, and don't show half disgust when you see them in the future." Although Shangguan Yunxin was favored by Emperor Qi, if he angered the imperial concubine, he would definitely not be pleased. In the previous life, the reason why Shangguan Yunxin married the Northern Barbarians far away, Ning Zhixuan guessed that it must have something to do with the imperial concubine.
"Don't worry, I grew up in the deep palace since I was a child and know how to protect myself." In the past, Shangguan Yunxin and Shangguan Hanyue were friends, and at that time, the imperial concubine was embarrassed by Shangguan Hanyue in every way, and Shangguan Yunxin was still able to follow Shangguan Hanyue's advice to avoid the edge, and now he will not clash with the imperial concubine head-on by temperament.
Ning Zhixuan suddenly looked at Shangguan Yunxin, and said in an extremely solemn tone: "I still have something to ask for here?" ”
"Sister Ning said, Xin'er should do her best." Shangguan Yunxin even agreed.
"I met a girl in the north, quite a bit of fist and foot skills, I want to take her with me to Yunwu Mountain to hunt during the spring hunt, but I am afraid that going as my maid will bring trouble to her."
"It's easy to do." Shangguan Yunxin's eyes rolled and he came up with an idea and said, "Let her enter the eldest princess's mansion first, and then be introduced to me by Sister Liuyun to be my martial arts master, I don't think there will be any hindrance when my father hurts." ”
Ning Zhixin is very grateful to Shangguan Yunxin in her heart, since she met, Shangguan Yunxin has treated her with sincerity, and now she is happy to ask for something, so now Ning Zhixin can't help frowning as long as she thinks of Shangguan Yunxin's future ending so bleak.
Shangguan Yunxin thought that Ning Zhixuan frowned because she was worried about Mingsa's safety after entering the palace, so he hurriedly assured her: "Sister Ning, don't worry, I will definitely protect that girl, and I won't let her lose a hair from me." ”
"Thank you!" Two short words, but in Ning Zhiwen's heart, she seemed to have made up her mind in an instant.
After leaving Shangguan Yunxin's Chasing Moon Xuan, Ning Zhixuan and Su Xin were about to leave the palace, but they met Shangguan Qingqiao at the corner of the palace road.
At this time, Ning Zhiyun's attention was all on Shangguan Qingyun, who was dressed in dark clothes and his eyebrows were heavy, and he didn't notice the strange light that flashed in Su Xin's eyes around him.
"Su Xin, go to the front and guard." Ning Zhixuan instructed lightly, and Su Xinhui left after wishing to Shangguan Qingyu to give a blessing.
"You deliberately brought this king here?" Shangguan Qingyun said that he had taken off the token he had given to Ning Zhiyun from his waist, and yesterday he saw Ning Zhiyun send someone to return the token back to Prince Heng's mansion, and saw Ning Zhiyun release the news that she was going to enter the palace, so he guessed that she was meeting in the palace by herself.
"His Royal Highness Prince Heng is wise." Ning Zhixuan looked at Shangguan Qingyun, with an undisguised sense of exploration in her eyes, "His Royal Highness Prince Heng came to the appointment, could it be that what he thought in his heart was the same as the little girl?" ”
Shangguan Qingqiao looked sideways at Ning Zhixuan, as if he was bottomless: "How do you think that this king's heart is the same as what you think?" You must know that this king is now a sure winner, so why bother to add to it. ”
"Your Highness is indeed in full swing now, with the help of the Xiao family and the Bai family." Ning Zhixuan vaguely guessed that there might be a discord between mother and son between Shangguan Qingqiao and the imperial concubine, although she was not very sure, she still said in a tone of insight into the world, "Otherwise, how could His Highness go against the will of the imperial concubine and act alone again and four times." ”
Shangguan Qingyun's eyes flashed with cruelty after hearing Ning Zhiyun's speculation, and then looked at Ning Zhiyun's eyes and returned to their former calmness: "If you want to form an alliance with this king, this king wants to see what you have in your hand?" ”
"Why does Your Highness think that the Bai Clan is doing its best to help His Highness win the supreme position?" Ning Zhixuan didn't wait for Shangguan Qingyu to answer, and said, "It's just for the queen's position, but for the supreme authority." Ning Zhiwen then said: "The terrible power of the relatives must not be said by the little girl. ”
"What are you working with this king for?" Ning Zhixuan looked at the talented little girl in front of her, but felt that her eyes seemed to have experienced all the vicissitudes of the world.
"Forgive me for not being able to tell Your Highness." Ning Zhiwen said frankly, "But if what is planned is done, the little girl hopes that Your Highness will let the little girl go back to the rivers and lakes." ”
"Why does this king believe you?"
"Because the little girl chose to trust His Highness first." Ning Zhixuan met Shangguan Qingyun's gaze and said, "The battle for the throne is already dangerous, but it is just a big gamble all the way, and the little girl bets that His Royal Highness is not a treacherous person. "In fact, Ning Zhixuan didn't know much about Shangguan Qingyu at all, and she chose her because of the situation, she had already made the decision to break the boat, as long as she could destroy the Bai family, as long as she could avenge her grandfather and mother, what did her life matter.
Shangguan Qingqiao didn't expect Ning Zhiyun to have such courage and courage at such a young age, so he finally responded to her proposal and said: "This king cooperates with you, and when you are successful in the coming day, I will let you go, and let you travel all over the five continents." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust and promise." Ning Zhiyun only thanked her lightly, and then said, "The little girl has a reluctant request." ”
Shangguan Qingyun looked at Ning Zhiyun with interest, a person who didn't care about the back position, what other requests could he have, so he asked, "What do you want?" ”
"The little girl hopes that as long as it does not affect His Highness's victory over the throne, please don't hurt the innocent, otherwise the little girl will have to break up with His Royal Highness."
"This king promises you that this king is only focused on the great cause, and as long as it has nothing to do with the great cause, the king will not kill innocents indiscriminately." Shangguan Qingqiao gladly agreed to Ning Zhixuan's proposal.
"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, the little girl will retire first." Ning Zhifu was about to leave after the ceremony.
"Why did you give up Shangguan Hanyue and choose to cooperate with this king?" Shangguan Qingyu had already seen that Ning Zhixuan's affection for Shangguan Hanyue was different from others, and she was obviously emotional.
"His Royal Highness Prince Heng wants to know?"
"This king has no intention of your personal relationship with him, but since you are an ally of this king, this king has the right to know the truth of each."
"Because the little girl doesn't want to involve interests and feelings."
"You're so moved by him that you don't want to work with him."
"Your Highness, rest assured, since I have chosen to be an ally with Your Highness, then if it is related to Your Highness's seizure of the throne in the future, the little girl will not be merciful to him." Ning Zhixuan knew what Shangguan Qingqiao was worried about, so she immediately stated her position.
"In the future, each will be his master, and it will be best if the pavilion owner knows it in his heart."
"If Your Highness has nothing else to do, the little girl will retire first."
Shangguan Qingqiao looked at Ning Zhiyun's departing back, thinking of what she just said that she didn't want to confuse feelings and interests, in other words, now her cooperation with him is only interests, and there is no emotion at all. It was just an alliance, but Shangguan Qingyun didn't know why he felt a little lost in his heart when he heard Ning Zhiyun's words.
The cold feeling on the eaves looked at Shangguan Qingyun who had been staring at the direction of Ning Zhiyun's departure, and when the figure was gone, he hadn't withdrawn his gaze, obviously he had decided to form an alliance with Ning Zhiyun in his heart, but he still had to condescendingly embarrass others, Leng Qing really felt that his high-minded and unsmiling master's mind was really getting harder and harder to guess now.
Ning Zhixuan walked to Su Xin, who was waiting at the end of the palace road, and before she could speak, Su Xin couldn't hold her breath and asked, "When did Miss have a relationship with Prince Heng?" ”
Ning Zhixuan originally planned to tell Su Xin about the cooperation with Shangguan Qingyu after returning home, but she didn't expect Su Xin to be so uncontrollable, so she asked in the palace.
"It's not convenient to talk here, we'll talk about it in detail when we get home." Ning Zhixuan only thought that Su Xin was afraid of Shangguan Qingyu, and he didn't think about it deeply.
However, Su Xin had a feeling of being a thief, and hurriedly lowered his cheeks, which were now slightly hot, but fortunately, Ning Zhixuan's thoughts were on the people around him, and he didn't notice the abnormality of Su Xin who was close at hand.
