Xia Mengning returned to the Bamboo Branch Garden, instructed Zhulian to prepare hot water, then dismantled the beads and emeralds, prepared to bathe and change clothes, and breathed the inside by the way.

After bathing, Zhu Lian wiped her hair with a soft towel on the side, Xia Mengning drank the freshly made wine-stuffed balls sent by Jiu'er, and asked, "What about Wu Qing, why didn't you see her when you came back?" ”

Zhu Lian pursed her lips, but still replied respectfully: "The slave doesn't know, anyway, she always has no character, always runs here and there." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Xia Mengning again, and then said again: "Is there something wrong with Miss looking for her, do you want the slave to find her?" ”

Xia Mengning shook her head, "No need, I'll come back then." ”

Zhu Lian saw that Xia Mengning didn't speak, so she continued to wipe her hair for Xia Mengning silently, Jiu'er here came in, and handed Xia Mengning a wooden tray and said: "Just now, the sixth son of the attendant beside the master sent this ointment, saying that the master specially instructed it, and the young lady rubbed it on the wound, maybe it will get better quickly." ”

Xia Mengning raised her head, looked at the small white bottle on the tray, and smiled: "Put it there, how are you going to inquire?" ”

Jiu'er put down the tray and replied: "The slave maid didn't go to Yong'an Hall to investigate, but on the way back, the mother-in-law who listened to the steward and the people below broke their mouths, saying that the eldest lady was going to marry in the near future, and the lord didn't even want to pick a day, so a small sedan chair was carried away." ”

Xia Mengning slapped her palms, stared at her jade hand carefully, and said with a smile: "The Fang clan has been planning for many years, such a golden daughter has ended up like this, it's strange if she doesn't die painfully, Jiu'er, you have to be careful these days, don't be harmed by the Fang clan." ”

Jiu'er nodded, Xia Mengning touched her half-dried hair, and said to Zhulian: "You all go down, I want to be quiet, don't come in casually." ”

The two of them took the order to go down, and as soon as they left on the front foot, Wu Qing from this side came in, Xia Mengning frowned, "Why did you come back, didn't you tell you to protect Jiu'er?" ”

Wu Qing wiped a handful of sweat, walked to the table and sat down, poured a cup of tea, and seemed to be unable to enjoy it, so he simply raised the teapot and drank it loudly.

"I'd rather come back sooner, and if you knew what I saw, you wouldn't have urged me to come back sooner." Speaking of this, he seemed a little surprised, looked at Xia Mengning and asked, "Are you really injured?" ”

Xia Meng glanced at her, "If I don't do enough tricks, how can I knock down the Fang clan and that general's wife?" ”

Wu Qing looked at Xia Mengning with a look of 'you are a fool', without saying a word, she walked over and straightened her body, and poured it into her body after transporting it, and the warm current wantonly opened up all the meridians in her body, Xia Mengning only felt that her whole body was extremely comfortable, and all the soreness and numbness that had been painful because of the fall were gone, and after a quarter of an hour, Wu Qing regained her strength and sat on the stool on the side.

"Eat the king's luck, bear the king's worries." Wu Qing saw Xia Mengning's face, hurriedly blocked it back with such a sentence, and said: "I went to the Zhenguo General's Mansion today, and I learned about Fang Yijun's current situation, his mother is about to die, and there is a good chance that the side room will be brought up to be the main room, Fang Yijun is afraid that the son of the side room will stand up to his rights, and he is also afraid that his father will not be able to resist the temptation of the pillow wind, so the only way to do this is to seize the big tree of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Xia Mengning adjusted her sitting posture, her body was already much better, and now she was playing with the small white bottle sent by Xia Chuanyuan in her hand, and when she heard Wu Qing say this, she raised her head and said, "Isn't it that Fang Yijun wants to help his sister and niece regain their father's favor, so as to stabilize their position and make Zhenguo Gong and that side room jealous of themselves?" ”

Wu Qing looked at Xia Mengning with a convincing expression, "You are really smart, yes, that Fang Yi army fought like this, so they let their wife come here to help the Fang family, and they also planned to kill that Cheng Gu tomorrow, so that Xia Mengxi could not marry, and then plan again." ”

Xia Mengning pulled the small mahogany round table on the couch with her fingernails, and said slowly, "Then what else did you find?" ”

"The Fang clan already knows about Jiu'er, Fang Yijun has sent two old mothers who know martial arts, and they have already infiltrated the Prime Minister's Mansion, wanting to arrest Jiu'er, and disturb your life by the way."

Xia Mengning let out an 'oh' and didn't speak again, Wu Qing waited for a long time before he couldn't help asking, "You're not afraid that they will kill you?" ”

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Isn't there still you, besides, the Fang clan has to deal with his precious daughter's affairs first, where can he take care of us." ”

"Hmm!" Wu Qing nodded, stood up and walked to Xia Mengning's side, touched his chin and said, "I see that you are usually very powerful, but you still have to rely on me to protect you at critical moments." ”

Xia Meng glanced at her, and continued: "Although we now know their motives, we still can't take it lightly, if she wants to get rid of Cheng Gu, we have to help her." ”

"Help her? Are you crazy? Wu Qing listened to Xia Mengning's words and couldn't help but shout.

Xia Mengning smiled, stretched out her index finger and tapped Wu Qing's arm, smiling skillfully, "What do you think, if the Fang clan wants to get rid of that Cheng Gu, what are you most worried about?" ”

Wu Qing thought for a while, and said, "Naturally, it was discovered by someone," Speaking of this, he suddenly realized again: "Could it be that you want to ......"

Xia Mengning nodded with a smile, "Since she wants to find a good future for her baby daughter like this, we have to help her." ”

Wu Qing nodded, Xia Mengning stretched out her hand and waved at her, "You come here with your ears, let's ......"

After saying these words, Xia Mengning asked again, "Do you understand?" ”

Wu Qing nodded, Xia Mengning rubbed her eyebrows, and said, "You go out first, closely monitor the Fang Clan's every move, I think she will do it tonight, you have to be careful." ”

Wu Qing turned around and walked out, turned around and walked back, and said with some hesitation: "There is one thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" Xia Mengning smiled, "How did you become so indecisive, this is not like you before, just say something." Wu Qing hesitated for a while, but still spoke: "I was almost found in the General's Mansion today, it was the subordinates of the prince of Dingxi who saved me, and he also told me that it was the prince who asked him to protect the safety of everyone in Zhuzhiyuan. ”

Xia Mengning's originally smiling face condensed for a while, and then she said slowly: "Got it, you go down first." Wu Qing seemed to have something to say, but when he looked at Xia Mengning's face again, he shook his head and retreated.

Hearing a 'squeak' outside the door, Xia Mengning slowly retracted his gaze, the jade wrench on his thumb was still rubbing his palm silently, Xia Mengning involuntarily raised his hand and stared carefully, how wise is Changsun Yun, how can he not see his little tricks, but he is still willing to let himself go, does it mean that he is really moved by himself?

A cold wind blew, Xia Mengning stood up, walked barefoot to the window to close the window, and as soon as she closed the window, a gentle voice came from behind her, "Your body is not well, why are you walking barefoot on the ground?" ”

Xia Mengning turned around, and saw the gentle-looking eldest grandson Yun standing in front of him, remembering what he had asked Wu Qing to inquire about, his heart was just indifferent, looking at the eldest grandson Yun, and slightly blessed: "I've seen the prince." ”

The eldest grandson Yun walked to the small couch and sat down, put his hands on his knees, and saw that Xia Mengning was still standing, but he said again: "You come here." ”

Xia Mengning was unmoved, "The body of the prince is a daughter, and the little girl doesn't dare to keep up with you." ”

Eldest Sun Yun didn't speak again, but suddenly walked down and bent over, hooked his long arms, and hugged Xia Mengning by the waist.

"You let go of me......" Xia Mengning was annoyed and ashamed, and his pink fist couldn't help but fall on him like raindrops.

Eldest Sun Yun put Xia Mengning on the couch as if he didn't feel anything, grabbed her hand and said, "Are you angry?" ”

Xia Mengning turned her head, "What did the prince say, if you want to know what I did, just ask Wu Qing, why did you spend two times trying to come here to ask me?" ”

The corners of the eldest grandson's eyes were crooked, and his ten fingers slowly rubbed Xia Mengning's palm, "I didn't know Wu Qing, but my old father, he wrote to tell me that I have a little junior sister who has completed her studies and is now in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I just knew, if you complain about me because of this, is it a bit too strong." ”

When Xia Mengning heard this, she felt a little better, but she still said stubbornly: "It's the same brother and sister, no wonder Wu Qing always wants me to be more considerate of you." ”

Eldest Sun Yun touched his chin, a little crying and laughing, but he still said gently: "When did you see it, could it be the last birthday banquet?" ”

Xia Mengning nodded, "Wu Qing is a little smart, but she is a nervous person, she didn't know anything about me and you before the last birthday banquet, but she was able to persuade me to get along with you, and today I lost internal strength for me, and the words are everywhere towards you, at first I was just suspicious, but today I am very sure, between you, you must have known each other for a long time." ”

Eldest Sun Yun smiled, his fingers scraped the bridge of Xia Meng's delicate little nose, and there was a lot of appreciation in his tone, "It is worthy of my future concubine, she is really thoughtful." ”

Xia Mengning was silent, the two were silent with each other for a long time, and Xia Mengning said: "Although the prince has a noble status, it is also not polite to break into the lady's boudoir this night. ”

Eldest Sun Yun smiled, his eyes as bright as stars shining instantly, "Oh? Is it? How do I remember that I didn't break into the lady's boudoir, but just came to see my future lady. ”

Xia Mengning's face turned red for a moment, but the eldest grandson Yun smiled and said: "Even if I break into the boudoir at night is not polite, but you are still here to talk to me, you say that I am not polite, so what about you?" ”

Xia Mengning didn't know what to say for a while, but suddenly looked down at the feet of the eldest grandson, blinked and smiled: "Have you heard a word about the prince?" ”

Eldest Sun Yun was attracted by Xia Mengning's cunning and agile demeanor, and just replied casually: "I want to hear about it." ”

Xia Mengning secretly lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing her feet, and with a light effort, she kicked the eldest grandson Yun, who was half-squatting in front of her, to the ground, and said softly: "The prince has heard that those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes." ”

Changsun Yun understood, but he sat on the ground and didn't move, but he still pretended to say: "I have been taught, it turns out that this barefoot person is not afraid of wearing shoes, this sentence is such a truth." ”

Xia Mengning shook her hand proudly, "I don't need to say it again today, I'm tired, please go back." ”

Eldest Sun Yun slowly sat up from the ground, walked to the couch and sat down, "You just kicked me, and you want to drive me away?" ”

"What does the prince want?" Xia Mengning raised his chin and looked at the eldest grandson Yun with a fearless face, "The prince is a dignified seven-foot man, can he still meet me as a little woman?" ”

Eldest Sun Yun shook his head, "I haven't said anything yet, you just blocked me back first, Ning'er, you are not like this on weekdays, now, although you are still not very enthusiastic about me, I am still very happy, because you can at least show in front of me what you failed to show in front of others." ”

Xia Mengning was stunned, is it true, when did he become so presumptuous in front of him, he was able to be defenseless at all, and completely held himself out.
