Chapter 60: Temptation
Xiao Wang Shen Huai.
Deeply trusted by the Son of Heaven, he holds the brocade guards and the three thousand forbidden troops in the palace. Next year is still young, and he lives a completely rude number, but he is not restricted by the rules at all. In the past, an official secretly arranged for a fine work to be mixed into King Xiao's mansion, but it was found out in less than a day, and then King Xiao did not tell the Son of Heaven, and took the brocade guard to raid the official's home.
The official ended up very miserably, and Shen Huai also threw his clothes at the entrance of the street and pointed at their officials who went down to the court.
"This king has never had room for sand under his eyes."
The handsome young man in brocade clothes and jade crown rode on a horse, and the corners of his lips hooked a somewhat playful smile. The silver mask was refracted by the sunlight and gilded the boy with a faint soft light, like a god. correct
His sleeves were stained with blood, and the smile in the corners of his eyes pressed a bit harsh and scrutinized, making people shudder.
Young Master Liu has always remembered the rumors and methods about King Xiao and Shen Huai, and he was also sternly warned by Liu Shilang not to provoke this lord. Even though he is commanded today, he knows in his heart that he will not be able to give an account of that man.
Xiao Wang Shen Huai's smile was lazy and lazy, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Young Master Liu was frightened in his heart, so he naturally wouldn't go against King Xiao, but he knew how to solve it with a slight turn of his head. He kicked at Ning Hua, and said angrily: "Presumptuous! β
"You dare to do this villain behavior behind my back!"
"What a shame on me!"
That kick was very powerful, but Young Master Liu was not as tall as Ning Hua, and he just kicked Ning Hua crookedly, and was quickly supported by Ning Fei. Ning Hua was shocked, and he didn't know why the current situation was, so he looked at Young Master Liu with wide eyes in disbelief: "You ....."
"I thought you were a fair and honest person, but I didn't want you to do such a villainous act." Young Master Liu quickly interrupted his words, and glared at him with gloomy eyes, "I have even affected Young Master Gu Seven, and I have also collided with Miss Gu Si, if people know, I don't know what kind of face your Ning family has!" β
Ning Hua froze suddenly, staring at Young Master Liu in disbelief, seeing that his face was serious and did not change in the slightest, he knew that he had become an outcast. He felt a slight chill in his heart, and sneered on his face: "I have broken a leg now, I just apologize to you, and hopefully-"
"Do you think an apology is enough?" Gu Mingxiu interrupted him lightly, the corners of his lips raised slightly, as if he was smiling.
Ning Hua was stunned, sad and indignant in his heart, and said angrily: "Then what else do you want?!" β
"Big brother, don't talk about it!" But it was Ning Fei who interrupted Ning Hua, she turned her head to look at Gu Mingxiu with a pale face, stepped forward and knelt in front of Gu Mingxiu with a puff, begging in a low voice, "Miss Gu, I know you have a good heart, please let my eldest brother go....."
Shen Qingqing frowned, and stepped forward to help Ning Fei up, but when he saw that the other party refused to get up and insisted on kneeling, he couldn't help but be a little angry: "That's your brother's business, what does it have to do with you?!" Fei'er, don't be embarrassed...."
Ning Fei refused, and insisted on falling to the ground in vain: "That's my eldest brother, I can't ignore him!" β
Shen Qingqing's brows furrowed, and she looked at Gu Mingxiu hesitantly. The other party didn't look at her, a pair of cold eyes fell on Ning Fei, and said indifferently: "That's your eldest brother, you want me to let him go." But this is my seventh brother, so I can't call the shots for him? Gu Mingxiu was not moved in the slightest, "It's his fault, even if he breaks his leg, this is what he did." β
Gu Mingxiu turned his eyes, looked at the horse master who had been standing aside without speaking, and motioned for him to step forward: "Do you know that I asked my horse master to check Ah Jing's horse, but what did I find?" β
Ning Hua was shocked, and subconsciously clenched his fists. Ning Fei and Shen Qingqing naturally didn't know, but they just turned their eyes to look at the horse master who stepped forward. The man spread out his palm, and put a pair of silver needles in it, and the horse master said: "Miss Gu asked me to check the horses before, and I found this needle on the horse's neck, which has not entered a few inches, and has not yet entered completely. β
Hearing the horse's neck, Young Master Liu was shocked, his eyes fell on the prince, and when he saw that the other party's eyes were icy, he immediately turned his gaze away in a panic.
"This...."Ning Fei was dumbfounded for a moment, and then insisted, "But now Young Master Gu has not had an accident..."
As soon as the words came out, the cold gaze fell on her, Ning Fei felt the sense of oppression rushing straight ahead, she still insisted on straightening up, but she didn't dare to look at the person in front of her. Gu Mingxiu looked at her and said softly: "Then do you mean that my brother can only settle accounts with your brother after he breaks his leg after falling off the horse?" β
Shen Qingqing glanced at Ning Hua, who had a gloomy face, and didn't like it in her heart, and she also looked down on this person a little. She knew that Gu Mingxiu loved her sister and brother very much, and she also knew that she would definitely not let go of Ning Hua today. looked down at Ning Fei, who had a sad face, and felt a little unbearable in his heart.
She and Ning Fei have been friends for many years, and they really can't bear to be sad about each other.
"Miss Gu, for the sake of our acquaintanceβ" Ning Fei clenched his fists, raised his eyes again to meet Gu Mingxiu's eyes, and begged. However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold whisper.
After watching the play for a long time, Xiao Wang Shen Huai chuckled, a little meaningful: "I'm afraid that Miss Ning asked for the wrong person, she shouldn't ask Miss Gu to let her go, she should ask this king to be." β
Everyone was slightly stunned, and they didn't know why. Ning Fei and Shen Qingqing remembered that King Xiao Shen Huai gave the piano to relieve Gu Mingxiu, and they all thought that King Xiao wanted to make decisions for Gu Mingxiu, and the former couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, waiting for a little thought in his eyes.
Gu Mingxiu glanced at him quietly, frowning slightly.
King Xiao seemed to sense her dissatisfaction, the corners of his lips hooked, and the smile was a little stubborn and evil: "Don't get me wrong, this king is not interested in mixing with your little calculations." His gaze fell on Ning Hua coldly, and he didn't smile, "This king just listened to you...."
He paused, as if thinking about something: "Embarrassed? At court one hand will wash the other? β
Ning Hua's face turned white all of a sudden, and King Xiao stood with his arms crossed, and his tone was very cold: "I don't know if this king is a wolf or an embarrassment in your mouth?" Which officer is the protector? β
Gu Mingxiu was stunned when she heard this, and then she remembered that this horse farm also belonged to the jurisdiction of King Xiao.
"This king is very dissatisfied when he hears it." Xiao Wang's voice was a little careless, and his eyes glanced at Gu Mingxiu a few times, but the other party just looked at Ning Hua intently, but he didn't give him a single look.
There was a little dislike in his eyes, and the smile on King Xiao's face was too lazy to maintain, and his voice suddenly became cold: "Drag it down." β
"Nope! Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Yes, it's the villain's gaffe! I beg King Xiao not to worry about the villain-" What it means to fall into King Xiao's hands, Ning Hua knows it clearly. He was ruthlessly dragged down by his arms, and he could only struggle in horror, "Your Highness! Your Highness! Let the villain go! Your Highness! β
Seeing his brother being dragged down, Ning Fei's eyes gathered tears. She wanted to rush over to save her brother, but was grabbed by Shen Qingqing, and the other party gave her a serious look. Ning Fei's body stiffened, and he wanted to turn back to ask King Xiao.
"Noise." King Xiao paused at the door, opened his mouth with lack of interest, and his side face was plated with a layer of cold streamer, and Jiao Ning Fei stayed in place and did not dare to step forward.
The subordinate immediately gagged Na Ninghua and pulled it down. King Xiao waved his hand lazily, and then went into the attic by himself.
Ning Fei watched as Ning Hua was dragged down and disappeared, and his body fell to the ground weakly. Shen Qingqing stood behind her, didn't say anything, and couldn't see any emotion on her face.
"Fourth sister, let's go back." Gu Jing said softly.
Gu Mingxiu glanced at Shen Qingqing, and the other party also heard Gu Jing's words and turned his head to look at her, very calm: "You go back first, I will send Fei'er back in a while, and ..... in a few days." Shen Qingqing paused and said slowly, "I invite you out again." β
The last sentence was trying to appease her.
Gu Ming embroidered his head, turned his head to look at the two behind him, and said, "Big brother, then I will go back to the house with Ah Jing first." β
Gu Xuan nodded, his tone was a little meaningful: "The fourth sister really made me today... Sit up and take notice. His gaze wandered over her face, trying to find something, "It's like a different person, completely different from when I returned home." β
"If you are still so naΓ―ve, won't you be able to live?" Gu Mingxiu didn't escape his intentions, just smiled slightly, and replied, "I've been with the second sister for a long time, so I naturally learned something." β
Gu Xuan smiled, and the deep meaning in his eyes sank little by little.
The crown prince Shen Yang called Gu Mingxiu out loud: "Fourth Miss." Meeting the other party's clear eyes, the prince showed a gentle smile and said softly, "Did the fourth lady only know my identity today?" Did you know my identity when we first met....The fourth lady knew my identity? β
He asked questions, but his tone was very determined.
Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly: "When I met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the first time today, I did know His Highness's identity." β
But there is no mention of the meeting on the day of the birthday banquet.
The prince looked at her expression quietly, not letting go of any change in mood. After looking at each other for a long time, he smiled slightly, meaningfully: "The fourth young lady is very smart, but she is a very smart girl. β
Gu Xuan raised his head suddenly, and his gaze fell on Gu Mingxiu's body. He understood a few hints in the prince's words, and subconsciously looked at Gu Mingxiu's demeanor, but he didn't see any ups and downs.
The girl just saluted quietly: "Your Highness, the courtiers retire." β
Gu Jing also saluted, and turned around and left with Gu Mingxiu.
Staring at Gu Mingxiu's distant back, the prince's eyes were gentle and thoughtful.
Gu Xuan couldn't help but speak, his voice was extremely soft: "Your Highness, are you .....?" β
"There's no rush right now." The prince said lightly, his voice slightly pleasant, "Wait until after the palace banquet." He chuckled under his breath, as if to say to himself, "She's a very good fit." β
On the top of the tall building, the young man standing with his arms crossed stared at the prince downstairs, his expression was cold, and he didn't say a word.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
