Chapter 383: Exploitation (3)
After all, the Empress Dowager Xi felt sorry for Jiang Li'er, so she also sighed and said: "Then you can try it, as for the marriage, the mourning family and your mother have their own discussions, you don't have to worry, your Prince Kang's mansion is the gate of loyalty, and the mourning family will definitely not wronged you." β
Ning Yu lowered his eyebrows and kept all his resentment in his eyes. He fell on his knees at the feet of his enemies, and thanked them for the grace they thought they had given.
The Queen Mother Xi's back injury had not healed, and it was really reluctant to hold on to this time, so she informed her and left.
Ning Hong still had to go back to deal with the mutual market, and after a while, only Ning Yu and Jiang Li'er and a group of palace people were left in the entire palace.
The palace people looked at each other, not knowing how to face this little prince.
Ning Yu sat down on his own, and then said, "You all go down, I have something to say to the county lordββ"
Jiang Li'er's face was pale with iron blue, she bowed her head slightly, and said, "Go down-"
The palace people retreated in response, and Jiang Li'er said in a deep voice: "If the little prince has anything to say, just say it-"
Ning Yu looked at her for a long time, she still had the palm prints left by the Empress Dowager Fang Caixi angrily, and now it was slightly red and swollen, he sighed and got up, twisted a warm handkerchief from the silver basin on the side and handed it to Jiang Li'er, and said, "Put it on-"
Jiang Li'er shrank unconsciously, and took the handkerchief in Ning Yu's hand with some embarrassment, Ning Yu sat on the low couch like an old friend who had known Jiang Li'er for a long time, and said softly: "You don't want to marry me, and I don't want to marry you?" β
Jiang Li'er was stunned, she didn't seem to expect Ning Yu to say this, her big eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and there was endless surprise in them.
Ning Yu seemed to have expected Jiang Li'er's reaction, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "You like Ning Yi, right-"
Jiang Li'er's face turned red, like a boiled shrimp, and muttered, "I-I-I-"
Ning Yu patted the back of her hand as if he was reassuring, and said: "The regent is dignified and strategic, I have a lot of respect for a man, not to mention that you grew up with him since you were a child, I think no man in this world can enter your eyes." β
Seeing him say this, Jiang Li'er let down her guard little by little, her eyes were dark, like a deep pool, but the difference is that this deep pool is crystal clear, and any thoughts are like fish playing freely at the bottom of the pool, clearly visible, but also very dangerous.
Jiang Li'er said: "Do you believe that the regent has no intention of rebellion? β
Ning Yu nodded slowly, as if he remembered something, but the worry between his brows deepened.
He suddenly said: "But the county lord, since ancient times, the king has been like a tiger, and the merit is a mistake in itself, so the queen mother wants to get rid of the regent once and for all, and wants to use our hand to resist the Qin Palace, take advantage of the situation to reduce the power of our Prince Kang's Mansion, kill two birds with one stone, leave no traces, and she and Your Majesty can also leave no handle and retreat?" β
Jiang Li'er realized it later, and unconsciously stepped forward and grabbed Ning Yu's hand and said, "What did you say?" Borrowing the power of Prince Kang's mansion? What did you promise my mother? β
Ning Yu's eyes were full of struggle and guilt, but he said frankly: "We promise, if Ning Yi comes back safely, we will prove that Ning Yi is a traitor, and help the Queen Mother get rid of him." β
Jiang Li'er was full of despair, over the years, although the power of Prince Kang's Mansion was far less than before, but the old prince once saved his father, this kindness is known to everyone all over the world, if Prince Kang's Mansion comes forward, then Ning Yi's crime, even if there is no evidence, can be implemented. Thinking of this, Jiang Li'er only felt chills all over her body, she unconsciously looked at Ning Yu, and said: "Isn't there a way, I don't want you to be hurt, whether it's Ning Yi, the queen mother, or Prince Kang's mansion, why, obviously everyone is not wrong-"
Ning Yu was disdainful in his heart, but he didn't show anything on his face and just reassured: "Don't panic first, we have to think about this matter in the long run, but the most important thing at the moment is to cheer up first, let's think about it together, this matter is not only about you alone, but also about our Prince Kang's mansion, as for our marriage, I also explained to the Queen Mother, I hope you are willing to marry me, if this matter is over, you still don't want to, then we will automatically dissolve the marriage." β
Jiang Li'er looked at Ning Yu in disbelief, and Ning Yu smiled and said, "What, is it possible that I can't find the princess because of Prince Kang?" β
Jiang Li'er was amused by him, and suddenly said with a straight face: "Then what should we do now?" β
Ning Yu leaned in the direction of Jiang Li'er and said a name.
The next day, I don't know what the old princess said to the Empress Dowager Xi, the Empress Dowager Xi actually allowed He Xi to visit Jiang Li'er.
When the news reached Hanyue Tower, Jiang An was a little surprised, but he also knew that the master's affairs were not something that they could ask about.
On the contrary, He Xi seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and just ordered Ruyi, planning to go over and have a look at it at night.
But after a while, Jiang An replied outside, saying that Mrs. Qin of the Taiwei Mansion came to visit.
He Xi put down the prayer scripture copied in his hand, oh, and then reacted, the Queen Mother Xi was guarding against her.
Mrs. Qin is considered to be the Empress Dowager of the West, and now she should be here to act as the eyes of the Empress Dowager of the West.
But she didn't care, what she wanted to ensure was Jiang Li'er's safety, not to discuss anything with her.
Thinking like this, he let Ruyi bring people in.
Mrs. Qin looked a little embarrassed, after all, she was not good friends with He Xi, and she came to visit rashly, this would not make sense in any case, she was thinking about how she should answer if He Xi asked, but she didn't want the two to meet, He Xi didn't say a word about the purpose of her coming.
After a few words of greeting, Mrs. Qin also let down her vigilance, and felt that she was a little ridiculous, the woman in front of her was pregnant with six armors, and she was not three-headed and six-armed, so she was so afraid of her.
Thinking like this, He Xi in her eyes just became a normal woman no different from herself, He Xi looked at the sky, and took the initiative to say: "Coincidentally, I was going to see the county lord today, but I didn't expect Mrs. to come to visitββ"
Mrs. Qin hurriedly smiled and said: "If Miss Mu says so, she will blame me, it just so happens that I heard that the county lord and the queen mother had a temper a few days ago, and they haven't eaten or drunk for several days, and I am also worried about it, so I happened to go with Miss Mu to take a look, Miss Mu doesn't mindββ"
He Xi smiled at her with raised eyebrows, and said slowly: "Naturally, I don't mind." β
Mrs. Qin's heart was shocked, and she only felt that at that moment, the thoughts in her heart were completely spied on by the woman in front of her, but when she looked at her again, He Xi changed into her original appearance again, like a wisp of smoke, faint, without sadness or joy.
Mrs. Qin couldn't help but sigh a little, and she didn't know what the woman in front of her thought, the regent was in such a situation now, she could be so relieved, didn't she know that under the nest, there were no eggs.
But these words, even if she borrowed a hundred guts, she would not dare to say them.
finally stayed up until ten o'clock for dinner, and the two went in the direction of Jiang Li'er's dormitory together.
The eyes of the spring evening are a little unbelievably warm.
Like a layer of faint gold yarn, applied to people's skin, reflecting a lustre, He Xi raised his hand and squinted his eyes, Mrs. Qin saw this, and said in a relaxed tone: "The climate of Xiliang is not as good as the calendar, I once heard my husband say that the four seasons of the calendar are distinct, warm in spring and hot in summer, cool in autumn and cold in winter, every season is picturesque and beautiful, but it is cool in the west, the winter is long, and the spring has passed in the blink of an eye." β
He Xi turned her head to look at Mrs. Qin, at this time, her face was a little less inherently coquettish and indulgent, but she seemed to have a bit of true temperament.
When I heard her mention the Great Calendar, she said, "Oh, it turns out that Taiwei Qin is so familiar with the Great Calendarββ"
Mrs. Qin saw someone talking about her husband, her heart was a little sweet, a little proud, this is full of Xiliang everyone knows, no one knows, Mrs. Qin is very doting on Mrs. Qin, it can even be said that she is afraid of guilt, plus the two have been married for a few years, and they don't even have a maid in the room, which shows the mode of getting along between the husband and wife. Therefore, as long as someone mentions Qin Hao, Mrs. Qin is proud.
She was like a proud peacock, with a slender neck, and giggled: "Miss Mu I'm afraid I don't know, this Xiliang, it's not just you from the calendar, there is a soldier next to my husband, who is from the calendar, I think these are what he said to my husband, if you have the opportunity, I really want to see that kind of scenery with my own eyes." β
The people of the Great Calendar came to Xiliang to be soldiers, and they were such an important person as Taiwei, so if they were not intelligent, they were excellent in martial arts.
The two were talking and had already arrived at the palace gate, Jiang Li'er couldn't wait outside the door for a long time, although the palace people around her had been dissuaded several times and felt that this was not in order, but Jiang Li'er was worried about He Xi and worried that she would be abused by the Empress Dowager Xi, but when she saw He Xi and Mrs. Qin coming over talking and laughing, she was still a little shocked.
Mrs. Qin was talking happily, and when she saw the county lord, she couldn't suppress a smile on her face, and quipped: "Why did the county lord personally greet him?" It's not that I'm so big-faced, it's still Miss Mu's big face-"
Jiang Li'er and He Xi looked at each other, and saw concern and reassurance in each other's eyes, so they knew that they were all right, so He Xi smiled and said: "Naturally, Mrs. Qin has a big face, and I am a people's daughter, where can I have such a big faceββ"
Jiang Li'er hurriedly welcomed the two in, thinking that only He Xi came today, but she didn't want Mrs. Qin to come too, and this Mrs. Qin has always been favored in front of the queen mother, naturally everything is to the queen mother, if she says something to He Xi, it will always be leaked out.
