Chu Ning was shocked by the desolation and resentment revealed in his words, but he couldn't understand what he meant for a while. According to what Jiayin said, Yu Ruyi and the blood of the royal family can conclude or dissolve the contract at will, and I can't figure out what it has to do with his return to the country for revenge.
"You must know those old things," Ji Chongguang said to himself, "That woman, the spoils of war brought back by my father when he conquered the Northland, entered the palace with a strange accent, only a bewitching young face, and my father's concubines talked and laughed with her on the surface, but secretly tried their best to humiliate her, and even sprinkled horse urine on her seat during the palace banquet, stained her carefully prepared dress, and mocked her for her commotion. β
Chu Ning knew that the woman in Ji Chongguang's mouth was Mrs. Li, who was now covering the sky with one hand in the Jin Kingdom, and her son Xi Qi would soon be the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom. It's just that on the road of Xi Qi becoming the prince, he also crosses the obstacle of heavy light.
"My father is the most affectionate person, so many wives and concubines, this one also loves, that one also loves, and each of them is loved as a heart and liver baby," Ji Chongguang talked about the old things, with a dazzling quiet temperament, if you don't think about his methods of pitting people, he is indeed a turbid son who can make famous ladies and nobles can't take their eyes off, "He doesn't know how to check and balance, the previous dynasty was controlled by important ministers, and there was a miasma in the harem." More than ten years ago, first the prince's brother poisoned his food, and then his favorite woman, who took advantage of this incident to implicate him and kill six of his adult princes in a row, and he still can't figure out who killed him. What's even more deserving is that he didn't even dare to track down an answer, for fear of finding the people he kept by his side and loved him to death, in fact, everyone wished he died early. β
Chu Ning's whole person was wrapped in the faint sigh he sandwiched in the end of each sentence, and he only felt that the sigh was so long and penetrating that he forgot what he was going to ask.
"So," Ji Chongguang picked Chu Ning's chin and stared at her with a pair of pure black eyes, "Feelings or something, it's the most ethereal and unreliable thing, the fourth brother saw that the prince was imprisoned by Madame Li, and guessed that she would attack all the princes who were friendly with the prince, so he notified me in advance." On the way, my uncle, my nurse, and my most loyal guards all died to protect me, and when I really had no choice, I revealed the escape route of my fourth brother to the man sent by the woman, and now, among the sons of my father, except for Xi Qi, who was born by that woman, I am the only one alive. β
Chu Ning looked away: "What you want to do, you will do it." She said this from the bottom of her heart, such a person with a clear goal, willing to use any means, and absolutely not swayed by feelings, there is no reason why she will not succeed.
Ji Chongguang's deep pupils moved slightly, those eyes were so dark that he couldn't actually see any smile at all, and it was only with the help of the upturned curvature of his lips that he could be sure that he had indeed had a slight change in expression. He lightly pecked Chu Ning's lips like a dragonfly: "Telling you this, it's not for you to wish me success." That jade Ruyi has a special function, I must take it back, you can choose to take the initiative to help me get it, or, I am forced to help me get it. β
It's rare that he can say the threatening words so politely and humbly, Chu Ning's scattered mind instantly returned to his place, and he talked to the big demon king who didn't look down on feelings at all, and the ending could only be self-inflicted. She raised her hand and commanded the hand on her chin: "I don't have any friendship with the big parrot in the Queen Mother's palace, I am willing to take it, and he may not be willing to give it to me." β
"You are a girl, it is more convenient to enter and exit the palace, and now it seems to outsiders that I am in love with you, and it is normal to look for you often," Ji Chongguang pinched her chin and twisted it, "Of course I will give you some necessary help, otherwise how can you be the opponent of that colorful duck." β
Chu Ning was amused by his apt description, but he stiffened his face and said, "But I still have something to do at home......
"Isn't it just that your eldest uncle wants to give a gift to your second uncle," Ji Chongguang responded, "Leave this to me, I'm good at it, your business is my business - at this stage of our cooperation." β
Chu Ning really didn't see where he was good at this kind of inner house thing, but it was always good for someone to do it, so he patted him on the shoulder very proudly, but unfortunately the height difference was a little bit, and the action looked more like a monkey touching the moon: "Your business is still your business, I am only responsible for helping you try it, and he can't decide whether he gives it to me or not." β
A cooperation with a clear division of labor was thus agreed. Chu Ning flutteringly left the mess all over the ground to Ji Chongguang, went down the mountain by himself, and slept again before dawn.
Even if he has been selected for the Lingque Terrace, he still can't enter the palace at will without being summoned, Chu Ning was about to find an opportunity to visit Mrs. Xiao Wei, and a message came from the palace, it was Mrs. Xiao Wei, please Chu Ning come over.
In order to prevent people with ulterior motives from doing anything in the palace, it is a trouble to enter the palace alone every time. At the east gate for outsiders to enter and exit, there is a bronze crane, I don't know which way the master left a mechanism ban on this crane, and all the people who enter the palace must stand in front of the crane. If the crane spits out the usual white smoke from its mouth, it proves that it is not carrying something evil, and if the smoke in the crane's mouth changes color, it must be searched.
Chu Ning had been standing in front of the crane for more than half an hour, and the bronze crane was still standing quietly, and even the green smoke that was originally curling out of his mouth had disappeared.
The guards guarding the door had never seen this situation before, and they didn't know what to do for a while, and they were hesitating to search her body, when Chu Ning suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong with this copper crane?" Is it broken? There has been no smoke for so long, I guess it's been a long time, it's time to change. β
Without waiting for the guards to react, Chu Ning had already raised his steps and walked inside: "Mrs. Xiaowei is still waiting for me, she will be angry if she goes late." If this bronze crane should be replaced, he can ask Chongguang Gongzi another day if there are any treasures in his collection that can be replaced. β
The guards bowed their heads very tacitly and let them go, and Mrs. Xiaowei was just that, Chongguang Gongzi obviously looked gentle and harmless, but those who offended him would always be inexplicably unlucky, and they were very evil. It is rumored that the prince of Chongguang has come to see this girl recently, so it's better not to trouble her.
For the first time, Chu Ning experienced the beauty of the fox and the fake tiger, and he was a little proud.
After entering Mrs. Xiaowei's bedroom, I realized that the person who really wanted to find Chu Ning was not Mrs. Xiaowei herself, but Forget the worries who lived in her palace temporarily. Since returning from the spring hunt, Princess Yuxi has been playing with Forget Huan very well, Mrs. Xiao Wei has her own careful thoughts, and has begged King Qi several times, and King Qi has allowed Forget Worry and Forget Huan to live with Mrs. Xiao Wei temporarily.
But Mrs. Xiaowei is not familiar with Forget Worry after all, and Forget Worry is too big, so she can't get closer to her relationship like she treats children, and the atmosphere is a little embarrassing. I didn't want to stay for a few days, so I forgot my worries and got sick, so I invited a doctor to come and see it, but I couldn't see anything wrong. Mrs. Xiaowei was a little panicked, if she forgot what happened in her palace, then she would be self-defeating.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Xiaowei suddenly felt that Chu Ning had a good relationship with Forget Worries, so she passed her into the palace and wanted her to persuade Forget Worries. Mrs. Xiaowei euphemistically expressed her meaning, in fact, she still has a layer that she has not said, and she is at the age of forgetting her worries, so it is said that she can start to look at her husband's family, but her identity is embarrassing, and there is no mother's family to manage it for her, and King Qi does not mention it, so this matter is suppressed. What Mrs. Xiaowei is most afraid of is that she forgets to worry about which family she likes and does something unruly.
She thought that Chu Ning had always been a smart person, and this kind of thing would be good if it was over. But she didn't expect that Chu Ning looked clever on weekdays, but she was ignorant about love affairs, and she even saw the deeply hidden ambiguity between the prince and Xue Niannian, but she didn't expect that her best friend had also reached the age where she could fall in love.
Chu Ning entered the room where she was worried, and saw at a glance that she was secretly pouring out the medicine that her maid had decocted, and immediately thought that most of the worries were pretending to be sick, and the purpose was to find an opportunity to meet her.
When Forget Worry saw Chu Ning, his face was full of twelve points of unhappiness: "Originally, the place where I lived with Forget Huan was just a little deserted, but now it's good, it's completely a golden cage, and the maid never leaves me from morning to night." β
Chu Ning sat on the edge of her bed, smiled slightly and asked, "Is there something special that needs to be done?" β
Forget Worry's face darkened, Chu Ning knew that she had guessed correctly, she raised her hand to stop Forget Worry from going on, and preemptively said: "If you ask me to help, I can help you, but in exchange, you have to let me look at the past mirror first." You've also said that there are a lot of limitations to looking at the mirror, and you may not be able to see anything at once. Our previous transaction is still valid, and as a condition for this time, I only ask to see it once, and it is up to God to make it happen or not, how about it? β
Forget the worry sneered, raised his hand and pinched Chu Ning's cheek: "That's right, you will tell me the conditions to prove that the person in front of you is indeed you." If you come up and comfort me, I really wonder if Mrs. Xiaowei has found someone to come and put on your skin. β
"Look at what you said, as if I am impersonal," Chu Ning rubbed his cheeks, "What is it, let's hear it first, if I can't do it, it will be in vain to talk about any conditions." β
Forget worries have always been crisp and sharp, but this time it is rare to be very twisted: "Actually, it was the last spring hunt...... The horse I led on the night the Assassin appeared...... I want you to help me find this horse and let it go. β
