It seemed that there were cold fingers gently caressing her face, she closed her eyes and frowned slightly, Gong Xuan was looking at the trembling eyelashes of the woman in front of her and knew that the person was about to wake up, so she took the lead in withdrawing her hand and coughed to show that she had returned.

"When did you arrive?"

Ning Zimo got up and asked casually as if it was already normal.

"I just came back, I heard that you came early in the morning, is there something wrong in the house?"

While speaking, Gong Xuanzheng had already ordered someone to have breakfast, and Ning Zimo sat down together without refusing, cleaned his hands and began to eat, and asked, "What kind of incense did you order in this room?" It smells very pleasant. ”

"Secret, it just so happens that I have a lot, when you go back, I'll decorate it for you and bring it back."

Gong Xuanzheng likes the current scene of two people talking calmly and homely, not talking about conspiracy, not talking about tricks, only gossiping about the wind and snow.

"Good. By the way, I have a slave who wants to be sent to live in your mansion for a while, she just did me a big favor in the general's mansion, there are too many people who want to kill her, let you here, I can rest assured. Gong Xuanzheng heard Ning Zimo say that she was relieved, but she didn't know why, the satisfaction in her heart was filled at once, and she nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Your people, I must be reluctant for her to work, I will set aside a yard for her to live, what do you think?"

"No, where can she stay. You'd better find something for her to do. ”

As soon as he said this, Ning Zimo asked with a smile: "I saw that no one went in your study to tidy up in the morning, what about the little boy in your study to sort out the books?" ”

Gong Xuanzheng glanced at Ning Zimo, it seemed that the fluttering glance suddenly saw through Ning Zimo's thoughts, put down the dishes and chopsticks, the sound was crisp and firm, and after a while, he was heard laughing: "Red sleeves and fragrance, thank you Mo'er for thinking about me and sending such a lovely girl over." ”

Ning Zimo nodded a little weakly and said, "Then I'll rest assured." ”

"Let's eat, it's cold now, and it's going to be cold if we talk about it."

Gong Xuanzheng didn't seem to think too much, and personally added food for Ning Zimo, and after Ning Zimo used it all, he said: "It's not early, the house shouldn't be calm, I have to go back." ”

Gong Xuanzheng also has no reluctance, although the relationship between the two has taken a big step forward now, but Gong Xuanzheng really has no reason to keep this person.

Ning Zimo looked at the jade slave holding Arnold's arm tightly, and chuckled: "Let go, we're going back." ”

Yu Nu pursed her lips and followed Ning Zimo out of the palace, and she never looked back at Arnold who was left by Gong Xuanzheng's side from beginning to end.

When Ning Zimo was gone, Gong Xuanzheng instructed the housekeeper beside him, "Clean up a clean room for this Arnold." ”

After finishing speaking, he said to Arnold, whose face did not change: "You can live in peace, and wait until your young lady wants to take you back." ”

After finishing speaking, this Gong Xuanzheng left in a hurry, and Arnold followed behind the housekeeper with a sigh of relief, and asked as he walked: "Uncle housekeeper, the slave maid is a newcomer, and the prince does not send work to the slave maid, so I will not be at ease in my heart." ”

Steward Liu's eyes rolled and he said with relief: "Girl, you can live in peace, Ming'er is an old slave and help the girl ask the prince." ”

"Yes, I'm used to doing work in this general's mansion, and I'm really not used to it."

After closing the door, Arnold quickly arrived at the new residence, and the first thing Arnold did after closing the door was to check the furnishings in the room, and she also knew that she did not really come to the palace to hide.

When Ning Zimo returned home, Ning Xuanli happened to have just returned from the Prince's Mansion, and immediately ran over happily and said, "Xiao Mo, did you come out to pick me up on purpose?" ”

Ning Xuan left the door early in the morning, and Ning Zimo also went out after him, in order to hide people's eyes, he also told the guard that he went to the prince's mansion with his brother, and this time he came back together, Ning Zimo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, seeing that his brother was happy, it was not good to brush him with a cold face.

"Well, let's go, it's almost noon. Hua Ting Yuan should be preparing lunch. ”

Ning Zimo didn't walk over and take the initiative to take Ning Xuanli's arm, he was a little unhappy, and said, "You still said to pick me up, why did you leave first." ”

As soon as the two brothers and sisters entered the mansion, they felt that something was wrong in the mansion, and casually beckoned someone over and asked, "What's going on in the mansion?" ”

"Young Master and Miss Hui, Aunt Wei and Second Miss died of illness." The housekeeper naturally knew in his heart that it could not be said that the fourth lady killed the second miss, and as for why the master said that he died of illness, it was all to hide people's eyes and ears, and no one was allowed to discuss this matter.

Ning Zimo's brows furrowed heavily when he heard this, and surprise flashed in the eyes of both brothers and sisters, and then the two hurriedly walked towards the study.

Ning Zimo's heart didn't know why she was a little uneasy, and when she arrived at the door of the study, she paused abruptly and asked the housekeeper beside her: "Hasn't the second lady's leg always been treated by a doctor?" Why did he die? ”

The housekeeper's face flashed with embarrassment, but he opened the door for this young master and Miss Yan and said: "Young master and Miss Yan, you should pay attention when you go into the study later, the master is in a very bad mood, and he is sick with anger, and Aunt Qi is taking care of the master at this time." ”

The brother and sister who heard this glanced at each other, and then entered the room one after the other, there was a faint fragrance of medicine wafting in the room, that Aunt Qi was usually silent, but at this moment, there were two less aunts in the house, and she was invited out of the snowfall garden by the housekeeper to take care of Ning Guodong.

"Say hello to Young Master Chang and Miss Yan."

Aunt Qi was feeding Ning Guodong to drink medicine, and when she saw the two brothers and sisters coming, she hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Auntie doesn't have to be polite, it's a shame for my aunt to take care of my father's body."

Ning Guodong saw that Ning Xuanli had come back at this moment, and he stood up and ordered: "You all go out, General Ben and Li'er have something to say." ”

Ning Zimo glanced at Ning Xuanli worriedly, and didn't dare to say that he stayed here at the moment, so he bowed and retreated, but he stood at the door and refused to leave, but Aunt Qi bowed and went down.

"Daddy has been in poor health recently, and Aunt Qi has been taking care of him day and night." Ning Zimo looked at this Aunt Qi who no longer went out in her Snow Garden after giving birth to her third sister, and heard that this Aunt Qi used to be just chanting and chanting Buddha in the Snow Garden, and the Snow Garden was like a temple, offering Bodhisattvas everywhere, lighting sandalwood day and night, chanting scriptures all day long, vowing to be isolated from the world.

Aunt Qi just nodded when she heard this, bowed and went to the pharmacy, and ordered someone to boil the medicine.

"Look, Mo'er doesn't worry about you, and she won't leave when she waits at the door."

Ning Guodong propped up his elbows, Ning Xuanli walked over and helped him, and when he heard Ning Guodong say this, he glanced out of the door, and the sunlight projected Ning Zimo's shadow on the door, Ning Xuanli just smiled and said, "She cares about your old body." ”

"Come on, the girl is not staying, who knows what she thinks in her heart. As a father, I always feel that this Mo'er is different from when I went out of the customs a year ago, and it has only been more than half a year, and the child has changed after all. ”

In fact, many of the things that have happened recently in this mansion, if it has nothing to do with Ning Zimo, Ning Guodong himself doesn't believe it, but he doesn't want to dig deeper, he has not protected her mother back then, and if he can't protect their daughter after fifteen years, he will really be ashamed of his dead wife.

"She's just protecting the people she wants to protect, General, you have to believe her."

"My father naturally believes in her, but I don't believe in you."

Hearing this, Ning Xuanli's heart temporarily leaked half a beat, bent down his knees that did not salute the emperor, hurriedly knelt in front of Ning Guodong, and swore an oath: "General, what I said in this study last time, I am not joking, nor is it an excuse, I really want to marry Xiao Mo in the future." ”

Ning Guodong snorted coldly, and said undeniably about this: "There is a new will in the palace, I want you to restore your identity as the sixth prince after you get married and become the royal heir, then Liuxiang will already be the sixth princess by then." He also said that he would marry Mo'er and let me be a concubine for you? General Ben just can't let Mo'er get married, and he can't let her be a concubine. ”

Ning Guodong, who said this, was very angry, and coughed anxiously, Ning Xuanli gave him relief again and again, and when Ning Guodong was out of breath, he continued: "And it is precisely because he is anxious to restore your identity that he forces you to marry the Prime Minister's Mansion, with the weight of the Prime Minister in the imperial court, and the emperor's approval and approval, the matter of your recognition of your ancestors and returning to your ancestors can be smoother, even if there is the disagreement of other princes, there will be no change." ”

Ning Xuanli only sneered at this, thinking about the plan in his heart.

"Got it, when was the date of the last time you negotiated with Prime Minister Liu?"

Ning Guodong reluctantly glanced at Ning Zimo, who was as straight as a sculpture outside the door, and said helplessly: "General Ben has tried his best to help you extend the time, the eighth day of February next year, the auspicious day of heaven will come, and the palace Douyue Pavilion will help you see a good day." ”

He nodded silently and said solemnly: "At present, the most important thing for you is to take care of your body, and I will take care of this matter properly." ”

Ning Guodong just asked with a smile: "Haven't you been most looking forward to returning to orthodoxy since you were a child?" Now that the opportunity has come, will you let it go? ”

Ning Xuanli didn't answer this, Ning Guodong didn't criticize him for his silence, and then thought of an important thing, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, does Mo'er know about this matter?" ”

"She doesn't know."

When Ning Xuanli came out of the room, Ning Zimo was still standing at the door, Ning Xuanli was still a little worried about whether this person had eavesdropped on the corner, but when Ning Zimo saw someone coming out, he looked away with a cold face and walked towards his courtyard.

"Yunu, have you seen Xiaoli recently?"

Ning Zimo suddenly remembered, I hadn't seen the little one who always made her fried hair for a long time, was she abducted by someone? Thinking of this, Ning Zimo couldn't help but ask with some worry, "Was it abducted?" ”

"Miss, Xiao Li may have returned to his original master."

When Ning Zimo heard this, her heart flashed with loss and sadness, after all, she was raised halfway, and the white-eyed wolf that she couldn't raise was turned around and ran away.

But when she arrived at her Hua Ting Garden, she found that the little cat had been following her, and the haze in her heart was instantly swept away, and she reproached Yu Nu and said, "What nonsense did you just say? Isn't this little separation here? ”

But Yu Nu looked around, didn't see Ning Xuanli's figure, walked to Ning Zimo's side and said with some concern: "Miss Yan, you have been ignoring Young Master Yan, is he angry and left by you?" ”
