Chapter 174: Late Night Private Meeting
Chu Yue stared at his eyes tightly, seeing that he was not deliberately hiding something, so he asked out loud: "Tell me, what entanglement do they have in Daling?" ”
Hua Yuan couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "It's just that Princess Tuoba likes Mingxiang and wants to break him up with Princess Mo but fails." ”
Chu Yue nodded, "I've also heard of these, and Tuoba Yanling's performance at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is already obvious." It's just that I didn't expect Ming Xiang to be able to resist **, it's really kind. ”
"Shangmo Changgong is a hundred times stronger than Princess Tuoba, right? She is not only the head of the Ning family, the capital of the imperial city of Daling, but also proficient in art, and she also has a well-known name in the rivers and lakes, Iron Lady, but she is an extraordinary character. Princess Tuoba is much inferior to her, and she shouldn't have rejected her. Huayuan smiled.
"However, as far as I know, the eldest princess of Shangmo is not very satisfied with Xiangye, and she was forcibly tied up when she got married." When Chu Yue heard this, he sneered and said: "In this way, if the Xiangye is interested, it is better to fulfill the two princesses." ”
Huayuan gave Chu Yue a thumbs up: "Although the second prince is far away in Xiliang, he can't imagine that he is so well-informed, it seems that this is indeed the case." But Ming Xiang kept up with Princess Mo's childhood sweetheart and grew up together since childhood, but I am afraid that he may not let go easily. ”
"Can you get the news, Princess Tuoba is in my Xiliang?" Chu Yue asked seemingly casually.
"No, she's been missing since the accident, and no one knows where she went. Maybe it's because I'm ashamed to see people, so I'm looking for a place to live in seclusion. The garden shook his head.
"She is missing, but they have led the people of Beimeng to my Xiliang, which is a big trouble." Chu Yue frowned, and asked aloud, "Do you have any way to make Ming Xiang and them leave Xiliang quickly?" In this way, the people of Beimeng will naturally leave, so that I, Xiliang, will not be innocently implicated. ”
Huayuan looked at him in embarrassment, "This time, the eldest princess of Shangmo and the others returned to the royal court because Xiangye was sick." If they can get rid of Xiangye's illness as soon as possible, then they will naturally leave. ”
Chu Yue nodded, feeling that what he said made sense, "Do you have a famous doctor to introduce me?" ”
Huayuan shook his head and looked at him helplessly: "If it is in Daling, I have a dozen famous doctors to introduce to the second prince, but this Xiliang Royal Court, I ......"
"Let's not talk about it, the coming day will be long, slowly figure out a way, and now drink and eat." Chu Yue interrupted him and laughed.
The painting garden is clear, Xiliang is desolate, except for the imperial doctor in the palace, it is difficult to find Lang Zhong with excellent medical skills. The second prince naturally understood this truth, but he was unwilling to accept it or listen to him.
So, the painting garden smiled: "Okay, let's continue to drink, don't get drunk and don't return." I am deeply honored to be able to make friends with His Royal Highness the Second Prince today, and to have a very happy conversation. ”
"I'm also very happy to have made you a friend." Chu Yue laughed.
The two got drunk, and in the end, it was the chief guard Niu Li who carried him back to the prince's mansion.
Ning Shangmo heard the movement and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why do you drink so much wine?" ”
Niu Li replied apologetically: "The second prince and this painter have a good time, and the little ones don't dare to stop it." ”
Ning Shangmo saw that the painting garden was also carried back to the prince's mansion by a few guards, and he understood that they might be chatting happily, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart. However, his face was very disgusted, he glanced at the painting garden coldly, and then said to Niu Li: "The second prince will leave it to me, and you can arrange for this painting prince to go to the guest room to rest." ”
"Yes." Niu Li agreed, and left with his men.
And Ning Shangmo instructed the maids to help the second prince back to the inner room to rest.
By this time it was already late at night, and she went back to her room, blew the lamp, and lay down on the bed to sleep. However, it didn't take long for him to get up quietly, change into a darker clothes, and then open the window and jump out.
She evaded the patrol of the guards of the Second Prince's Mansion and went straight to the guest room.
She first crouched under the window and listened, and then made sure that there was no movement inside, then quietly got up, opened the window from the outside, and jumped in.
As soon as her feet hit the ground, the lights were lit in an instant. Ning Shangmo couldn't help but be startled, and almost screamed.
"Don't be afraid, Mrs. Prime Minister." The soft voice of the painting garden came, and she immediately stabilized her mind.
Turning his head to follow the voice, he saw him standing behind her, which showed that he was not lying on the bed and got up when he heard the voice, but had been prepared.
She couldn't help but wonder, wasn't he drunk? Are you as drunk and unconscious as the second prince? How can it be......
So, Ning Shangmo subconsciously asked, "Are you pretending to be drunk?" ”
Hua Yuan turned to her and smiled slightly: "Regarding life and death, how dare I get drunk?" Missed this rare opportunity to meet you in private? ”
Ning Shangmo immediately understood the meaning of his words, and couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect that the painter was actually a half-immortal, something that they didn't notice, you actually noticed it, and you didn't go out of the city with them at all." ”
Huayuan shook his head and said: "Actually, I didn't go back to Daling with Ming Xiang and them that day, not because I could pinch and calculate, but because I happened to see the process of you being transferred." ”
"You see?" Ning Shangmo asked in surprise, "Who is it?" ”
Huayuan smiled mysteriously: "I can't tell you this for the time being, I can only rely on your own ability to investigate, otherwise I don't have to take your antidote, and I won't be able to get out of this Xiliang Royal Court at all." However, I am sure that the mastermind behind it will not hurt you, he wants your people, not your life. ”
Ning Shangmo heard him say this, and knew that he couldn't ask anything. But in his heart, he was even more convinced that it was probably the second prince's doing, and if it was the crown prince, there was no need for him to cover it up like this. Now that he has joined forces with Chu Yue, he naturally will not betray him and put himself in a disadvantageous situation, so she will no longer force him.
Instead, he smiled slightly: "Since you don't want to say it, then tonight, what is the purpose of you pretending to be drunk and meeting me?" ”
"Help you find the truth, not tell you the so-called truth of what I see." Huayuan replied very seriously: "I hope you can return to Daling safe and sound, so that I can get the antidote to save my life." ”
"Clever." Hearing him say this, Ning Shangmo was relieved again, "How did you decide to help me?" ”
"For the time being, I can help you contact Xiangye. Although I secretly took refuge in the second prince, on the surface, I am still a merchant who came to buy the girl from Da Ling, so I can naturally have free contact with Xiangye. The painting garden smiled proudly: "How is it?" Am I starting to look at the painting boy differently? ”
Ning Shangmo couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "What a narcissist, don't get carried away, let the second prince catch your fox tail." ”
"No, in order to save your life, you are naturally cautious." Still confident, he replied, "I have a steady stream of news he wants to know, including those things about Tuoba Yanling. ”
"This water, you wade deep enough!" Ning Shangmo couldn't help but re-examine him, the feeling in the past was even stronger, this painting garden was definitely not an idle person, don't be used by him. But now, apart from him, there is no one who can be used, and he can only rely on him if he is alone in the Second Prince's Mansion.
"Okay, didn't I say that? In order to save your life, save your life, and help you return to the Daling Imperial City safely, so as to save my life, naturally I don't dare to be a little sloppy. The painting garden replied solemnly.
This sentence made Ning Shangmo listen to the sudden warmth and touch.
At this time, she is trapped in a tiger's den, and her situation is very dangerous and difficult, and if she can have a warm word, it will become a pillar to support her to go on. Thinking about Ming Qingyan, her sensitivity was not as good as that of Huayuan, and her actions were even worse than Huayuan, she felt cold. If it weren't for the fact that he still had friends like Yun Yishu and Leng Qingrong by his side that he could rely on, she would never have taken the initiative to contact him.
"You also have to be careful, don't be behind the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finch, you can pretend to be drunk, how do you know that His Royal Highness the Second Prince will not pretend to be drunk?" Concealing the true emotions in her heart, she also solemnly admonished the painting garden.
"Don't worry, there's something in the wine. Don't forget that the owner of the hotel is our Da Ling, how can you not be towards me, the authentic Da Ling? As the so-called fellow sees the fellow, his eyes are full of tears. The painting garden smiled proudly.
Ning Shangmo couldn't help but look at him in surprise when he heard this, and asked out loud: "Could it be that he is one of your intelligence collection points in the Xiliang Royal Court?" ”
Hua Yuan smiled slightly, did not agree or refuse, but just changed the topic: "In short, when we meet tonight, as long as you cover it up well, he will definitely not find out." ”
Ning Shangmo nodded, and after that, the two discussed the code and method of transmitting information in the future.
"You should go back, and while he certainly won't wake up now, we'll have to be careful." Huayuan looked up at the drip, Ning Shangmo had been in his room for a stick of incense, long enough.
"Okay, then I'll go, you should be more careful." After Ning Shangmo finished speaking, he jumped out of the window again.
She still jumped out of the window and returned to her bedroom, but she didn't want to stand firmly, when she heard a maid outside shouting softly: "Miss, Miss, His Royal Highness the Second Prince called you over." ”
Ning Shangmo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and subconsciously asked himself, was he discovered?
Either way, she knew she couldn't panic or it would only make things worse. Even if the second prince found out that she had just gone to the painting garden, she had to find a way to perfunctory the matter.
So, she stabilized her mind and secretly warned herself not to panic.
Then he raised his voice and asked, "What's the matter?" I've been lying down. ”
"The word came earlier, His Royal Highness the Second Prince asked you to come over, and the slave and maid didn't know anything." The maid replied outside.
Ning Shangmo had no choice but to respond: "Wait a minute, I'll put on my clothes and come." ”
She changed the dark clothes she was wearing, changed them into bright ones, and then rubbed her hair unkempt with her hands, and then went out and said to the maid, "Take me here." ”
The maid nodded, and accompanied you to tell Ning Shangmo to come to the door of the second prince's bedroom.
