Chapter 155: Blinded by Emotion
What can I do now?
Wei Ning looked at Zhao Qingrong's sad face, knowing that she must be very painful in her heart. So he let her have a good rest, and he and Shu Jin left Zhao Qingrong's room.
On the way back, Shu Jin saw Wei Ning's brows tightened, and he didn't dare to ask anything, just silently followed behind Wei Ning.
Wei Ning returned to the room and actually found Wei Lingfeng sitting next to the table in the room.
"Ning'er."
Seeing Wei Ning coming back, Wei Lingfeng immediately got up and walked to Wei Ning's side.
"Why did you come back so early today? Is everything in the barracks taken care of? Wei Ning asked as he untied the cloak around Wei Lingfeng's neck.
Wei Lingfeng shook his head and motioned to Shu Jin, who was standing on the side, to close the door of the room.
Shu Jin immediately understood, and after closing the door, he silently retreated.
"What's wrong?" Sensing that Wei Lingfeng must have something to say to himself, Wei Ning involuntarily grabbed Wei Lingfeng's hand.
Wei Lingfeng grabbed Wei Ning's hand and pulled her to the room.
Coming to the inner room, Wei Lingfeng opened his mouth and said, "I received a report from the spies today, and there seems to be a big movement on the barbarian side. ”
When Wei Ning heard this, he was secretly shocked in his heart. looked at Wei Lingfeng and waited for him to continue.
"On the barbarian side, it seems that they started to gather forces last night...... Ning'er, I had a meeting with several of their generals in the morning, and I may need to be away for a few days. ”
Wei Lingfeng is leaving the mansion? When Wei Ning heard this, he was shocked again. But thinking that he couldn't always drag Wei Lingfeng down, he immediately suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and said to Wei Lingfeng as usual: "Then you have to take care of yourself." I don't know what happened, but I've seen the barbarian leader before. I don't think he's an ambitious man, and maybe there's something else going on in that. Anyway, don't worry about me, I'll take care of myself. ”
"I know." Wei Lingfeng clenched Wei Ning's hand with relief, he felt that Wei Ning had really grown up, but in his heart, she still needed to be taken care of. Although the barbarians don't know what the situation is, the situation seems to be very urgent now, and as the general guarding the frontier, he must go to the border between the frontier and the barbarians.
"Ling Feng, are you leaving soon?" Wei Ning saw Wei Lingfeng's solemn expression and asked cautiously.
"Not right away, after lunch. Ning'er, you won't go out to see someone if I'm not here for a few days. Stay in the house. I've left enough men to protect you. Wei Lingyu was locked in the basement, remember, no matter what happened, you should not go near that place. Wei Lingfeng looked at Wei Ning, his eyes full of reluctance.
"Hmm." Wei Ning nodded, "I'll immediately tell them to start preparing lunch." ”
Wei Ning knew that Wei Lingfeng came to the frontier with a burden on him. It was an accident that I came to the frontier, and no matter how much I felt, I had to restrain myself at this time and not make the other party uncomfortable.
The two of them didn't say much during lunch, but they cherished the time before parting. Wei Ning kept serving Wei Lingfeng vegetables, thinking of the various dangers that Wei Lingfeng might encounter on the battlefield, Wei Ning felt very uncomfortable.
Although Wei Ning looked relaxed, Wei Lingfeng understood that Wei Ning must be sad in his heart.
Wei Lingfeng didn't delay too much, and simply finished lunch and was ready to set off.
"Are you leaving? Wait, I'll take a cloak and give it to you. ”
Seeing Wei Lingfeng stand up, Wei Ning also stood up. But Wei Lingfeng reached out and pressed Wei Ning's shoulder to stop her.
"Silly girl, I'm going through the back door. You keep me here, I don't have to send it. Wei Lingfeng said.
As soon as Wei Lingfeng's words fell, Qi walked in and came to Wei Lingfeng's front and saluted him.
"Lord Shizi, the horse is ready." Qi said.
Wei Lingfeng nodded and strode outside.
"Ling Feng." Wei Ning was unwilling and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Qi who was following behind Wei Lingfeng.
"Madam, it is a secret matter for the prince to leave, if the lady follows the prince like this, I am afraid that it will bring trouble to the prince." Qi said to Wei Ning.
Wei Ning listened to Qi's words, and immediately stopped, standing at the table in silence.
Seeing that Wei Ning was no longer chasing, he hugged Wei Ning and said, "Farewell." He also left to chase after Ling Feng.
Shu Jin had been standing aside, and seeing Wei Ning's face full of loneliness, he couldn't help but comfort Wei Ning and said, "Miss, don't be sad, didn't the prince say that he would only go for a few days?" A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the young lady stayed in the house peacefully, and the prince would come back soon. ”
"I'm not afraid of parting, I'm just a little worried about whether something will happen to him......" Wei Ning muttered to herself.
At this time, Wei Ning suddenly hated himself a little, why didn't he learn martial arts before. The so-called "more skills do not pressure the body", Wei Ning now feels how correct this sentence is.
Seeing Wei Ning sit down dejectedly, Shu Jin said a little angrily: "This prince is really right, he just said he would leave, and he wouldn't say goodbye to the young lady." ”
"He's given me enough time." Wei Ning smiled bitterly. Although Wei Lingfeng didn't say anything, but after such a long time together, the two were already considered a husband and wife who shared weal and worn, and when he came back to have lunch with him, he was afraid that saying more would cause him to feel sentimental, so he simply didn't say anything and walked neatly.
Wei Ning looked at the unfinished meal on the table and sighed.
"Let's take it all down."
Wei Lingfeng left, and Wei Ning naturally didn't have much appetite to eat anymore. Since Wei Lingfeng didn't want to let him send him, then he wouldn't send it himself, listen to him, stay in the house obediently, and wait for him to come back.
"Evacuate the food to the kitchen, don't pour it, it's still hot at night." Wei Ning added again.
"Yes." Shu Jin and Zi Hui were cleaning up the table, and saw Wei Ning sitting with her lips pursed, Zi Hui saw this, stepped forward, and said to Wei Ning: "Madam, I don't think I have much for lunch, presumably Madame is not full." If you don't have an appetite, why don't you let Zihui make some snacks and put them away, and wait for Mrs. to eat them when she is hungry? ”
Wei Ning really didn't have the heart to eat just now. A heart is hanging on Wei Lingfeng. Hearing Zihui say this, she immediately remembered the white jade cake she made.
Sweets have always been Wei Ning's favorite. Since Zihui said so, Wei Ning naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Then make a few pieces of white jade cake to taste? By the way, Zihui, you can also send some to Miss Zhao. She is now weak, and she probably has little appetite. Wei Ning said.
"Yes." Zihui nodded. Immediately cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with Shu Jin and retreated.
After dinner in the evening, Wei Ning summoned Ying.
Ying is Wei Lingfeng's personal secret guard left to her. Wei Ning picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, and said to the shadow kneeling in front of him, "Don't be so restrained. I called you here to ask questions, get up, don't always kneel when you see me. ”
Ying listened to what Wei Ning said, and immediately stood up and said to Wei Ning, "I don't know what Madame wants to ask?" ”
Wei Ning put down the teacup and said to Ying, "Let me ask you, how many secret guards like you are there in this mansion?" ”
"Madame refers to when the prince is there, or is it not there?" Shadow back.
"You can say it now." Wei Ning said.
Shadow replied, "Eight." ”
"So much?"
Wei Ning was a little surprised. She knew that these secret guards had been carefully cultivated by Wei Lingfeng since childhood, and their martial arts were top-notch even among the masters. The magnates generally raise secret guards secretly, otherwise they will be discovered, and it will be a big crime to punish the nine clans. Therefore, the general secret guards are also called dead soldiers, and there are as many as eight secret guards that Wei Lingfeng has left in the mansion to protect her. And what if you add those who go with him? And how many?
Looking at Wei Ning's ever-changing expression, Ying couldn't help muttering in his heart: Eight secret guards, this is all the dead soldiers raised by the prince. When the prince left, he stayed in the mansion and didn't take any of them with him. Their main task is to defend the mansion and protect the lady.
Wei Ning pondered for a moment, and then asked Ying, "Where do you usually stay in the mansion?" ”
Ying knew that this lady had always been the eyes of the prince, and he must know everything if the lady wanted to ask. So he immediately replied: "The bedroom, the lobby, the kitchen and the corridor." ”
"By the way, Miss Zhao, do you have someone to protect?" Wei Ning thought of Zhao Qingrong, in fact, Zhao Qingrong is also one of the important witnesses who can testify. It's just that now she is deeply poisoned, and Wei Ning wants to save her, but now she has no way to start.
"Madam, don't worry, we won't leave any of us behind." Shadow replied.
Hearing Ying say this, Wei Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Ying's answer reassured her, and after asking, Wei Ning waved Ying back.
After the shadow withdrew, Shu Jin couldn't help but say, "Miss, you are so kind. ”
"Huh?" Wei Ning was a little strange and looked at Shu Jin.
"Isn't it?" Shu Jin pursed his lips and said, "You are still thinking about that Zhao Qingrong." I said, miss, you're still worried about yourself. Rong Shujin said that he shouldn't say it, then Miss Zhao's stay in the mansion is a scourge, and when the prince leaves, he should send her out of the mansion. ”
"Shu Jin, don't talk nonsense." Wei Ning frowned and interrupted what Shu Jin said.
Shu Jin knew that what she said would make Wei Ning unhappy, but she really couldn't get used to Zhao Qingrong now.
That woman, like Yunkai's little hoof, has an ulterior purpose in her heart.
It's just that Yunkai is still too tender after all, and he has too many petty temperaments, which is not as deep as Zhao Qingrong's thoughts.
Wei Ning glanced at Shu Jin and saw that her face was full of unhappiness.
"Shu Jin, Qingrong, her nature is not bad. was just blinded by emotion for a while. ”
Wei Ning originally wanted to say "love", but when she thought that Zhao Qingrong liked her husband Wei Lingfeng, she couldn't say these two words.
