The only explanation was that the pills and decoctions prescribed to treat the injuries had been diverted for other purposes at all. And where it is used, naturally there is no need to say much.

"Besides, the performance of the prince today is too abnormal. Although setbacks can make people mature, the maturity of the son of the world is obviously different. The so-called abnormal things must have demons, and the prince behaved like this in front of the prince, it is better to follow the temperament and roll around. ”

After Xu Chu finished speaking, he looked at Ning Subai, who was a little stunned, and shook his head. If in the eyes of others, he might pity Ning Subai, and feel that he had suffered a great blow, which caused his heart to suddenly become firm. It's a pity that he is indeed Xiao Qinglang, and he is very keen on Xiao Qinglang's insight into people's hearts

Ning Subai glanced at Xu Chu blankly, and then looked at Xiao Qinglang blankly. He saw that Xiao Qinglang was as immobile as a mountain, his expression was calm, but he was full of fatigue and pinched his temples hard, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't afford to do an earth-shattering bad thing, and he thought he was thoughtful and flawless, but it was still not enough to deceive Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu. Mingzhu boasted before, her sister Chu and her third uncle teamed up to solve the case, and they will definitely be invincible, which really makes some sense.

"Yes, I have been thinking about it for many days. In fact, that day, if it weren't for Aunt Hong's instigation, I would have thought of other ways to provoke him. ”

"This matter has been discussed by me, Aunt Hong, and Ning Tong a long time ago. I was in charge of getting the medicine, Aunt Hong sent someone to do it, and Ning Tong made an appointment with the old bustard in Chunhualou to lure my father out of the house that day. ”

Xiao Qinglang looked at Ning Subai, who was motionless with his arms clasped and his expression a little stagnant and bitter, his tone eased slightly, and continued to ask, "Whose mastermind is it?" ”

Ning Subai pulled his head irritably, "It should be me, this matter is my idea"

"Should?" Xiao Qinglang tapped the table with his finger, frowned, and said, "You tell the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and the rest of the matter will be determined by the king." ”

Ning Subai pinched his fingers and recalled carefully, "Actually, at the beginning, I sneered at Aunt Hong for climbing up to my father, because she was greedy for glory and wealth. She has never refuted this. But one day, she suddenly found me and said that she treated my father sincerely, even if my father was no longer a protector, she would treat him well. ”

At that time, I did not think so, and I had a very unpleasant quarrel with her, and my father punished me for it. So, I complained more and more about him in my heart. ”

"Later, when I saw Aunt Hong holding a pair of housewife in front of my father, I was even more annoyed. After all, when my mother was here, my mother was in charge of everything in the house, and at that time, my mother was angry and sick because my father raised a woman when he was on the march, and he was so angry that he couldn't afford to be sick, he knew that I knew it, but he also handed over the stewardship of the house to Aunt Hong."

When Ning Subai said this, his expression was very indignant at first, but then it turned to helplessness and pain. Obviously, compared to the current situation between him and the protector, those things are really nothing.

"Then, Aunt Hong always looked for a reason to provoke my relationship with my father. Most of my father believed in her, and always regarded me as sludge and hated that I was not the heir of the Ning family. ”

Ning Subai tugged at his hair in annoyance, and said incoherently, "Actually, I didn't want his life at all, and I didn't want Aunt Hong and Aunt Chun of Chunhualou to lose their lives for this matter."

Obviously, he had never expected this to come to this point. He originally thought that at most, it would be to make what his father was proud of come to naught, and let Aunt Hong show her true colors

"Aunt Chun, I probably went there a lot, and most of the time she treated me like a parent. Sometimes when I see her, it's like seeing my mother. She always indulged me, and never allowed me to play with the girls in the flower building, only allowed the turtle to bring me wine. "When it comes to Chun Niang, the old bustard in Chunxiang Building, Ning Subai's expression is obviously much softer, but the deep regret in his eyes cannot be concealed." When Dong Ruiyang's matter was discussed outside, I thought that this was probably a good opportunity. Later, after returning home, I inadvertently met Aunt Hong in the garden and muttered to the people in her yard, saying that the emperor must be anxious about Dong Ruiyang's affairs now, and he can't let go of it, if something happens to Dong Ruiyang in prison at this time, maybe the emperor will take the caretaker out of his official position. ”

Ning Subai covered his face with his hands, and only after a while did he say faintly through his fingers, "At that time, I felt a stir in my heart, and I directly thought that if my father was regarded as the person who wanted to kill Dong Ruiyang, what would happen?" ”

Just as I was pondering, Aunt Hong turned around and saw me, and then I asked her if what she said before counted. If my father is demoted to a concubine, will she still be able to leave him? If I could, I would no longer hinder her desire to straighten out."

"At the time, she swore it was excellent."

"You've probably guessed what happened next. Because of this thought, and Aunt Hong said that if anyone kills Dong Ruiyang, he is afraid that he will solve the emperor's most difficult problem, so the emperor will inevitably open his net, at most, he will dispose of it by removing the title. I thought, I don't want to be the protector of the country, just be an ordinary person, if I have the ability to do something in the three law divisions in the future, I can also do a good job. ”

Who knows, in his opinion, it was just a matter of course, and it would implicate Chun Niang and lose her life. If you say that the most innocent person in the whole thing is just an outsider like Chun Niang.

Ning Subai is not a person without conscience, and when he mentions Chun Niang who was affected by him at this time, he naturally feels bad in his heart. So much so that this prince who seemed to have grown up a long time ago had tears faintly flashing in his eyes. The so-called man sheds blood without tears, but at this moment, when he thinks of the past, how can his heart be stable?

Although he didn't know why Chun Niang was so close to him, he knew that she didn't value his status as a son as much as others. Therefore, he was grateful to her and respected her, but he didn't expect that this gratitude would affect her life in the end.

Ning Su Baiyou remembered that when discussing this matter at that time, although she had never greeted Aunt Chun, she was still very sure that she would definitely help herself. It turns out that this is indeed the case, although she did not come forward, but with Ning Tong's message, Aunt Chun still responded to the matter without too much consideration.

He remembered that when he returned to the Hou Mansion that day, Ning Tong was also glad to tell him that Aunt Chun agreed very happily, and personally sent him out of the back door of Chunhua Building. At that time, Aunt Chun's smile was extraordinarily soft, like the gentle appearance of Mrs. Chun.

Before, he didn't think about it deeply, he just thought about it, and he had to thank Aunt Chun for his life. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, they would be separated forever

"You mean, you made up your mind after listening to the conversation between Aunt Hong and her subordinates? Moreover, those words were still said in the garden of the two of them in the palace of the Protector of the Prince's Mansion, and after she finished speaking, she arrested you who was eavesdropping? ”

Xiao Qinglang's straightforwardness made Ning Su Bai Ai nod his head, and he seemed to admit it very reluctantly.

Xiao Qinglang frowned, hating that iron could not become steel, "You have really pestered me for many years in vain, and such a simple trap jumps in, it is really comparable to a rabbit that crashes into a tree and dies!" ”

"Rabbits? What rabbit? What does this have to do with rabbits? Ning Subai asked suspiciously.

Xu Chu saw that Xiao Qinglang was a little angry, and he actually drank a few sips of the cold tea, so he kindly reminded, "What the prince said is probably the rabbit inside the rabbit."

Seeing that Ning Subai was still confused, she continued to say patiently, "Aunt Hong is also a housekeeper for many years, how can she not know that royal affairs should not be discussed?" What's more, if you still talk with a subordinate, in an unguarded and sheltered garden, isn't that just a matter of words? Besides, why weren't the maids and servants next to you at the time, only you happened to hear those words when you passed? ”

"Aunt Hong first provoked the relationship between you and the Protector Marquis, so that you had a grudge against the Protector Marquis, and even chilled your heart. And she took the opportunity to keep hinting at you, and those hints gradually took root in your heart, and finally, under your impulse, she took a wrong step."

Xiao Qinglang saw that Ning Subai was deep in thought, and he didn't urge him to continue talking, but just took a sip of tea silently.

However, thanks to Ning Subai, he did not pause for a long time, even if he felt sorry for himself, it was useless at this time. Just as Xiao Qinglang was putting the lid back on the cup, he suddenly asked, "What about the others?" Isn't it, you already know about the secret path and the underground palace? ”

When Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu heard this, they subconsciously glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of surprise.

"Naturally, I know, otherwise how would you go back to the Hou Mansion? The Protector has confessed to the secret passage leading to the British Mansion in the palace. The curvature of Xiao Qinglang's mouth drooped slightly, and he said very casually but as if he knew everything. At this time, the water in the teacup in his hand was still slightly cold, but when the cup reached his mouth, he still took a small sip, raised his eyebrows and continued, "What this king wants to know now is, who told you when and how that secret passage?" ”

If someone hadn't told him, it would have been difficult for Ning Subai to find out such a hidden thing during the time he spent in the palace. What's more, even if he knew, he should have told the Queen Mother first.

Ning Subai let out a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "Nobody told me, that secret passage was actually discovered by accident when I entered the palace to greet my aunt a few months ago. ”
