Chapter 173: Don't embarrass her
Although it was the dead of night, it was not yet time for curfew, when two fast horses galloped out of the northwest corner of Shanhe Fang, but they saw many more soldiers in the market.
Suning'er tugged on the reins of the horse, looking at the teams of hurried sergeants from time to time, and the uneasiness in her heart became a little stronger.
There is only one wine shop in Shanhefang, and by the southeast corner, Yin Xiu only accompanied His Royal Highness King Xi here to buy a house a few days ago, so it is not difficult to find it, and half a cup of tea will be in front of the wine shop.
When he arrived, there were several teams of sergeants outside the wine shop, and judging from the clothes of those soldiers, Suning'er recognized them as the guards of Qingwangfu at a glance.
Her heart was pounding, it was only an hour or two of effort, but she didn't expect the guards of Qingwangfu to rush over, and it seemed that the servant still went back to Qingwangfu for help.
She and Yin Xiu got off the horse, and among the guards guarding the door of the wine shop, someone seemed to know Su Ning'er, and seemed to be a little surprised by her sudden arrival, so she hurriedly greeted her, saluted her, and said suspiciously: "The little lady of the Su family is here to see His Royal Highness King Qing?" ”
Looking at this battle, Su Ning'er suddenly realized that the Concubine Qin was probably here, and she really didn't want to see the woman at this time, but since she had already come, she should know the situation inside.
She bent down to salute the guard, and asked in her own voice, "Is Your Highness alright?" ”
The guard shook his head blankly: "I have just been ordered to come, and I don't know the situation inside, little lady, and I will report to the concubine later." ”
"Oh, no, no need", when Suning'er heard Concubine Qin's name, she trembled with fright, and replied in a panic: "Since the concubine is here, the slave family will not bother." ”
After speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but she heard an old man's voice sounding from behind: "Is it the little lady of the Su family in front?" ”
This voice sounded very familiar, Suning'er's body stiffened, and she slowly turned around, and a familiar face could be vaguely seen in the lights, which was the housekeeper of King Qing's Mansion.
The corners of Sun's mouth curled slightly and smiled shallowly, waiting for the housekeeper to come to her, and calmly rubbed her body with him.
The housekeeper said with a sad face: "The little lady came at the right time, my Royal Highness locked herself in the guest house, no one can enter, the concubine is so anxious that she is about to ask someone to break in, and please follow me in to persuade Your Highness." ”
Suning Er looked a little embarrassed, she thought that there was only King Qing and his personal entourage in the wine shop, but she never thought that the entire Qingwang Mansion was alarmed, and everyone was watching, and now if she walked in, she would inevitably attract some gossip.
The housekeeper didn't dare to force her, after all, she was a talented woman favored by the saints, even if King Qing's mansion withdrew from this family business, even if the concubine had already abandoned her, for the sake of King Qing, he didn't dare to be disrespectful to her, so he had to patiently ask her: "Human life is a matter of heaven, please have mercy on the little lady." ”
Su Ning'er nodded hesitantly, and responded, "Please take me in." ”
The housekeeper glanced at Yin Xiu behind her, and saw that her eyes were full of vigilance, and he didn't forget to be relieved: "This little lady and wait here with a relaxed heart, I will not let your family have any mistakes." ”
Suning'er squinted at Yin Xiu, gestured to her, and mustered up the courage to follow the housekeeper towards the wine shop.
As soon as she entered the wine shop, her heart fluttered, this situation was really embarrassing, and she had no idea what to say when she saw the concubine.
The guests in the wine shop have long been cleared, except for the shopkeeper and a few miscellaneous people, all the servants and guards of the Qingwang Mansion are guarded inside.
Suning'er followed the housekeeper upstairs in fear, and clearly heard the woman's cry in the stairs.
Suning'er's fair and delicate little face has become colorless because of excessive nervousness.
She buried her head and walked forward step by step, and the closer she got to the cry, the more panic she felt in her heart.
Walking up to a group of maidservants, the housekeeper trembled over and whispered to the crying woman in the middle: "Concubine, the old slave brought the little lady of the Su family in, you might as well let the little lady persuade Your Highness." ”
Suning'er raised her eyes and looked at the woman, she had already cried and put on makeup, and she looked very embarrassed.
Concubine Qin hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, stared at Suning'er, the two looked at each other, and the entire corridor became silent for a while.
Su Ning'er held her breath and bowed to her, only to see Concubine Qin slowly walking towards her with her red and swollen eyes.
Concubine Qin looked at her carefully, and said in a cold tone: "You are Su Yiniang?" ”
Su Ning'er only responded softly, and could feel that her stomach was full of resentment.
"It's really not simple, you hurt my thirteen Lang like this, and you dare to come to the door?"
The housekeeper listened with a tense face, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Concubine, at the moment, His Royal Highness's life is at stake, it is important to save His Highness first." ”
After listening to the housekeeper's words, the hostility in Concubine Qin's eyes suddenly disappeared a lot, she pinched the handkerchief and wiped it from the corner of her eyes, was silent for a moment, and suddenly turned her back and stopped talking.
Suning'er didn't bother to bother with her anymore, and looked around at everyone, staring at her strangely.
Those eyes were full of complaints about themselves like Concubine Qin, and some people were full of expectations, hoping that they could persuade His Royal Highness King Qing.
She calmly walked to the closed door and knocked softly.
Leaning on the door of the room and listening quietly, there was no sound in the room, and her heart couldn't help but rise to her throat.
She didn't know how to describe her mood at this moment, no matter what happened next, she hoped that this man could live well.
"Your Highness, I'm Ning'er, I'm here to see you."
She called softly inside, and everyone's eyes were glued to this side.
There was still no movement in the house.
"Your Highness, Ning'er knows that you are inside, no matter what, you shouldn't torture yourself like this, Ning'er doesn't deserve you like this."
Facing the strange eyes of a group of people, Suning'er was broken in her heart, and kept praying that the closed door could be opened soon.
The atmosphere around is lifeless and oppressive.
They all widened their eyes, staring at the door deadly, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
After a long time, there was finally a slight noise in the room.
Su Ning'er was shocked, and a commotion sounded around her.
She seemed to be able to feel King Qing's figure approaching her, and that grim face clearly appeared in her mind, making her heart almost jump out with excitement.
It wasn't long before the door was finally opened, and the pungent smell of wine greeted her, making her shiver.
In the dim candlelight, a miserable white face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
Su Ning'er looked at him, only to see that the cold eyes were hidden, and the prostration was obviously out of strength.
Suning'er hugged him, the crystal tears in his eyes began to roll, and his vision gradually became blurred, and he almost couldn't see him clearly.
King Qing's trembling palms reached up her cheeks with difficulty, trying to wipe away the tears she had overflowed.
Behind her, Concubine Qin burst out of her eyes with tears in her eyes, rushed forward to support King Qing, and cried hysterically: "My Thirteen Lang, you are so ruthless, don't you want to let your mother live?" ”
King Qing's hands were pressed against Suning'er's cheeks, the corners of his mouth squeezed out a faint smile with difficulty, and he said in a weak voice: "Mother, my son, please don't embarrass her." ”
