Chapter 552: Fight
"The first point. Collect this siteββ" Chu Nian raised his head and looked at Concubine Ling in front of him with a cold face, as if he had no fear, "Wu Liang is not my subordinate, he is the personal apprentice of my friend Gu Guwang, the medicine king, and he is also my friend. β
When these words fell, Concubine Ling's face distorted for a moment, but she didn't speak, she hung her head quietly, "County Lord, Qiao'er is the princess of Da Liang." β
A sneer overflowed at the corner of Chu Nian's mouth, and at the moment, she didn't care if Concubine Ling was an ally, she only felt that her friend seemed to have been greatly insulted. "The second point."
She paused, stood up straight and looked at Concubine Ling slightly, "Since you are my friend, even if you marry a royal princess, you can't be considered a high climber." β
"The third point." Seeing that Concubine Ling didn't say anything more, Chu Nian's face finally softened a little, she let out a sigh of relief, sat back opposite Concubine Ling, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Wu Liang never thought of running to climb Princess Mingqiao's power. β
She raised her head and looked at Concubine Ling meaningfully, "Concubine Ling, my friend of Chu Nian, has never had to climb other people's relationships. β
When these words fell, Concubine Ling's face suddenly turned pale, and she saw Chu Nian put down the teacup and got up, "Concubine Ling, what I should say today has also been told to Niangniang, and I ask Niangniang to listen, but if there is anything offended, Niangniang doesn't listen, at least until everything is resolved, there is still a cooperative relationship between Niangniang and the courtiers, if Niangniang is willing, my Chu family and the Lu family can also be friends for generations." β
She walked to the door, her footsteps stopped, and in the blink of an eye, there was also a little indulgent light, "How to choose, please let the mother decide for herself." β
After that, she turned around and left, not dragging mud and water at all, leaving Concubine Ling to sit in place with a stunned face, for a long time, before she sighed helplessly.
She looked at the maid beside her, "Princess...... How's it going now? β
"Back to Niangniang, someone just came to report that the princess is now crying under the covers."
"Is the Wushuang County Lord going over?"
"Yes, the slave maid looks, the county lord is indeed heading towards the princess's bedroom."
Concubine Ling's face paused, and after a while, she sighed silently, "You say, I really shouldn't be in the way between Ming Qiao and that Wu Liang?" β
The maid opened her mouth, and after a while, she said with a little embarrassment: "The slave doesn't dare to say more, but if you look at it like this, if the maid really forces the princess to marry an official eunuch, according to the princess's stubborn temperament, I am afraid that she will be depressed all day long, and the maiden has not forgotten that when the eldest princess taught the maiden to enter the palace a few years ago, the maiden also had a big quarrel with the eldest princess." β
When these words fell, she saw Concubine Ling take out a green silk bracelet from her arms, she seemed to have a little tears in her eyes, and after a while, she put the bracelet away again, turned her eyes to look at the maid and said: "That's it, Qiao'er is also older, and I shouldn't be too much a mother, you go and talk to Concubine Liangniang, just say that I asked her to discuss, a few days later, what to do on the emperor's birthday." β
The maid's face seemed to be a little relaxed, and she leaned over with a smile, "Yes, don't be too anxious, the county lord won't hurt Princess Qiao'er." β
Concubine Ling didn't speak, the maid turned around and left, and between the candle flames, only Concubine Ling was left, looking at the green silk bracelet in her hand, stunned.
When Chu Nian arrived, Mingqiao's pillows had been changed by two, and then the waitress next to her simply didn't add new pillows to Mingqiao in order to save trouble, and then saw Chu Nian walk in, she greeted her with relief, "County Lord, you are finally here, quickly persuade my princess, her whole face is going to be swollen from crying." β
Chu Nian shook his head helplessly, "You go down first, go outside and help us control the wind." β
It seemed that hearing Chu Nian's voice, Ming Qiao raised his head from the handkerchief given by the maid, and at this moment, the small piece of handkerchief could be wrung out of water.
She sobbed and grabbed Chu Nian's arm, "Did you tell my mother?" What did she say? β
Seeing that Ming Qiao wiped the water stains on his hands that had not dried up on his sleeves, Chu Nian silently apologized to Mei Xiang in his heart, and then said a little helplessly: "I have persuaded everything that should be persuaded, if Concubine Ling can listen to my words, then it only depends on your own efforts and Wu Liang's efforts." β
"Me and Wu Liang ......" Ming Qiao rubbed his already swollen eyes, and after a while, you pouted again, seeing that the tears were about to burst again, "I don't know what Wu Liang's attitude is, no matter what, he has to reject me, where am I worse than that Liu Er?" β
Seeing this, Chu Nian wrung out the handkerchief with a smile and handed it to Ming Qiao again, and said, "Let me ask you, what happened to you and Liu Yuanniang before I taught Wu Liang yesterday?" How can it be so embarrassing? β
As if remembering a bad memory, Ming Qiao flattened his mouth, and said: "Then Liu Yuanniang came up with an idea to help me find someone to be popular Wu Liang, maybe Wu Liang will remember my goodness, and then stay away from that Liu Erniang, I went, but the person she asked to come actually said that she wanted to fake a show with me, thanks to your sister who came with Wu Liang, Wu Liang almost poisoned that person to death, now that I think about it, it is really relieving, if Wu Liang simply poisoned those two people to death at that time......"
Ming Qiao raised her head, and saw Chu Nian's meaningful smile, she twisted her brows, "You don't care about me, but you scared me out at the time." β
Chu Nian shook his head helplessly, "Didn't Wu Liang protect you?" Aren't you unscathed now? β
Hearing this, Ming Qiao's face suddenly turned stunned, and he saw Chu Nian continue: "If he doesn't have you in his heart, why is he so anxious to protect you?" If he didn't have you in his heart, why would he waste his Gu worms to poison those two unworthy people like that? β
Chu Nian looked at Ming Qiao with a smile, and saw that Ming Qiao looked stunned, and sighed and continued: "If it weren't for you in his heart, why would he be more anxious than Concubine Ling when he heard that there was a princess in the palace who was going to marry?" If it weren't for you in my heart, do you think I would really be able to force that stubborn donkey to get along with you? β
Mingqiao's face turned red when she said a few words, and there seemed to be some disbelief in her eyes, "You mean, he actually likes me too?" β
Chu Nian smiled and said nothing, and saw that Mingqiao, who was still wiping her nose, suddenly cheered, only to see her smiling while jumping around the room, for a while, but suddenly stopped, and said with a look of embarrassment: "But my mother's side ......."
Thinking of Concubine Ling, who was still very stubborn, Chu Nian couldn't help but sigh, and said, "It's good to teach Concubine Ling to me, but I'm not free to help you." β
The last concern was dispelled, and Ming Qiao looked at Chu Nian with curiosity on his face, "You should be paid if you want to, but what do you want?" β
Chu Nian smiled, "I just want to ask you to do me a favor by the way, it's not a big deal, but the premise is that we have to teach Wu Liang to confirm his mind first, and everything will be easy to do." β
Ming Qiao was originally a heartless person, even if he had troubles, he forgot all about it after a while, and when he saw Chu Nian's willingness to help, he hugged Chu Nian's arm with joy in his eyes, "You and Sister Mingyue, as well as my imperial brother, are all my relatives." β
Chu Nian stretched out his hand and pinched Ming Qiao's nose, but did not speak, and after a while, he got up and coaxed Ming Qiao softly: "Today, you will rest early, I will go back, and I will pick you up from the palace tomorrow." β
When these words fell, Ming Qiao obediently got into the quilt, but as soon as he lay down, he sat up with a puzzled face, "Where is my pillow?" β
β¦β¦
The next day, when Wu Liang came out, it was already noon, Chu Nian was sitting in the corner of Tianxiang Building, and sitting on the table by the window not far away was Ming Qiao, who had been disguised to the point that Concubine Ling might not be able to recognize, the fluttering long skirt, plus the plain white veil, but the little face was not exposed at all.
After a while, Xiao Erfang brought all the dishes, and saw Ming Qiao gesturing frantically towards this side, Chu Nian smiled helplessly, when Wu Liang came up from the corner of the stairs, Ming Qiao had already recovered his demure and dignified appearance, although the dress was exaggerated and conspicuous, but Wu Liang only glanced at her slightly, and then withdrew his gaze, obviously not recognizing it.
He sat down opposite Chu Nian, looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, and said helplessly, "Didn't you say you wanted to chat?" Why did you come here to do it? β
Chu Nian smiled meaningfully, and it happened that the shopkeeper brought up the fragrant peach blossom drunk, only to see Chu Nian filling the two wine cups, this Fang smiled and looked up, "It's not that I thought, you've helped me so much these days, I should also ask you to rub it well, right?" β
Wu Liang pursed his lips, picked up the wine cup, and drank all the wine in the cup, "The people of your official family actually did these scenes, it is better to rebuild the Medicine King Valley earlier, it is more affordable than this meal of wine and food." β
Chu Nian shook his head helplessly, "You Medicine King Valley are just such people now, in other words, the Gu King branch is the only one left with you, right?" β
Seeing that Chu Nian actually took the initiative to mention this matter, a trace of surprise flashed in Wu Liang's eyes, and then he chuckled lightly and said, "Yes, our Gu King is not as good as the Medicine King and the Medicine Immortal, and the requirements for choosing a successor are very strict." β
"Oh?" Chu Nian raised his head with interest, "Why don't you tell me, if there is a suitable candidate, I will help you send it over first?" β
Chu Nian's afterglow seemed to see that Ming Qiao over there was waving his hand desperately, and understood that this girl was in a hurry, so he couldn't help but smile helplessly, and saw the room gushing, "First of all, the physical fitness must be good, and secondly, there must be a certain basic understanding of poison matters, before my master chose an apprentice, he chose one from under the master of the medicine king who had just learned the foundation of poison, in addition, the process of raising Gu was very cruel, and he hated it for a long time, he must not remember to have too many hypocritical thoughts, and he must have perseverance." β
After saying this, Wu Liang seemed to raise his head triumphantly to look at Chu Nian, but saw that Chu Nian seemed to be absent-minded, so he frowned, "Did you listen?" β
Chu Nian came back to his senses and couldn't help but shake his head, "If there are so many requirements, then I will simply help the Medicine King's branch grow first, and when the time comes, you can choose some of them." β
"There are a lot of requests from the Medicine King." Wu Liang leaned closer and said: "The people of the Medicine King's vein are not like the medicine god's vein, which has a body that is invulnerable to a hundred poisons, if you want to practice poison, and occasionally accidentally injure yourself, you will also die." β
