Chapter 249: A plan within a plan
The reason why Princess Linglong knew about the existence of Lord Liu was only one possibility, the two of them knew each other. Could it be that Liu Gezhu is treason and collaborator with the enemy, it's not like it! If the Blue Moon Kingdom really had the heart to enter the palace, it would not send such a delicate work as Princess Linglong.
The drama of these two people made Li Yiyan unable to say anything to refuse, if he refused, it would be spread out, and everyone would say that he disregarded public opinion. And he didn't want to refuse, if he wanted to know the true purpose of Princess Linglong, he had to keep her by his side, but if he agreed like this, he felt that it was too cheap for them, so he said: "Princess Linglong can live in the capital for the time being, and then decide what to do in the future after paying off the account of the palace."
Pavilion Master Liu frowned, knowing that this was his excuse, but he had no way to refute it, he couldn't let him go up and say, I'll pay it back for Princess Linglong.
Princess Linglong immediately stood up angrily, and before she could speak, she was stopped by the young man next to her, and the young man shook his head at her silently, and Princess Linglong shook off his hand.
The young man forcibly pulled her down and whispered a few words into her ear.
Princess Linglong's face was suddenly overjoyed, and she stood up and said, "My father has asked someone to send the money, and this palace can now pay off the money in front of all the adults."
Ning Yunxiao suddenly narrowed her eyes unhappily, in front of everyone's eyes, what else did she do, damn it, who was giving her a trick and causing me to lose a lot of income.
"In that case, the princess can consult with the princess in private." Ning Yunxiao has not yet been crowned, nor has she been crowned a concubine, so she can only continue to be called by her original title.
"Your Majesty," Pavilion Master Liu jumped out again: "Since Her Royal Highness the princess said that under the witness of hundreds of officials, come and repay this money, it is better to pay it off directly here!"
Li Yiyan smiled helplessly at Ning Yunxiao, someone doesn't give you a chance, even I have nothing to do.
Ning Yunxiao looked at Pavilion Master Liu with cold eyes, okay, you wait for me, I'm not in a hurry, one day you will know how powerful I am.
Ning Yunxiao ordered Qingzhu to count the losses, even if she couldn't ask for a sky-high price, those shoddy porcelain still made her a lot of money. His eyes narrowed with a smile, and until the end of the banquet, Ning Yunxiao still looked smiling.
"Are you that happy?" Li Yiyan asked in a good mood. Ning Yunxiao did not refuse his seal, which made his heart flutter. proves that Ning Yunxiao really wants to be with him.
Ning Yunxiao suddenly reacted and said, "How did you arrange that Linglong princess later?"
"Now that I think about it, I thought you didn't care." Li Yiyan pretended to be very aggrieved.
"Wronged." Ning Yunxiao screamed wrongly, she was just overexcited when she suddenly earned so much unearned silver.
"Okay, I'm kidding." Looking at Ning Yunxiao's funny appearance, Li Yiyan said with a smile.
"She has to stay here, she can't let her run, this person is the only evidence we have at the moment, although she is a little more brainless, but the person next to her is not simple, especially the young man who has been sitting next to her tonight. With her character, she would listen to a person like this, either that person was sent by the Blue Moon Emperor to restrain her, or that person could help Princess Linglong achieve something. I'm not sure for what purpose. ”
"I agree with you." Li Yiyan saw that Ning Yunxiao was colorful, and he was also colorful. He frowned and said, "The Emperor of the Blue Moon Kingdom will send such a person over, it is very likely that this matter is not his original intention, but is threatened by someone."
"This speculation is unlikely," Ning Yunxiao shook his head and retorted: "What can make the lord of a country threatened, it's too fake to be likely."
Li Yiyan nodded, and felt that it was a little unlikely, but if it wasn't for this reason, then why would the Blue Moon Kingdom send such a person, or did she have anything outstanding about this person, or what she showed now was one-sided, and she was just pretending.
Needless to say, I know that it is impossible, who can have the ability to act in front of him and Ning Yunxiao without being found out.
"Actually," Ning Yunxiao hesitated and said, "I suspect that these things have something to do with Jing Xueqing."
"What do you know?" Li Yiyan asked.
Ning Yunxiao shook his head and said, "I don't know anything, but my intuition tells me that this matter is related to Jing Xueqing."
"It's not that there is no possibility, he is obviously in the capital today but he is doing nothing, I have never figured this out." Li Yiyan hesitated for a moment and said.
"Do you think there was some kind of agreement between these two people in private?" Ning Yunxiao said tentatively, thinking that this was too possible.
Li Yiyan was stunned and frowned.
"So there was nothing going on during the day today, but there were so many miscellaneous things at night." He pondered quietly for a moment and said, then continued to speak: "Don't think about it, I'll let Ji Ming check, it's getting late, rest early."
Ning Yunxiao hummed a little embarrassed, and then looked at Li Yiyan quietly. Since today, all the masters of the Yi Palace's mansion have moved to the palace. The place where they were now was where Ning Yunxiao lived.
If he said that he was going to sleep, then Li Yiyan didn't leave after saying this, what did he plan to do?
"Not leaving?!" Ning Yunxiao glanced at him, although she didn't resist, she couldn't just say, don't leave tonight. Although she comes from the new women of the 21st century, she is not so open in her bones. She couldn't say this, and she couldn't show it.
"Uh," Li Yiyan realized that he should have left, and retreated a little embarrassedly: "I'll go first." When he retreated, he didn't see the road behind him clearly, and he almost tripped and fell to the ground. Stumbled and left.
Ning Yunxiao covered her mouth and snickered.
Then he also went to bed in a wide coat.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, a few days of calm passed, and Princess Linglong didn't know what she was planning, and the quiet of these days made people feel abnormal.
"Niangniang, Your Majesty has a decree, please go to the imperial study." Qingzhu walked in. Ning Yunxiao didn't react for a while, until Qingzhu said it again, and then he reacted, this lady called herself.
got up behind the eunuch who had followed him to deliver the message.
On the second day of the banquet, Li Yiyan named Ning Yunxiao Concubine Chen in her previous life. So the people around her began to call her Concubine Chen, and she still didn't get used to it after listening to it for a few days.
Ning Yunxiao walked in, very unaccustomed to bending over, and was pulled up by Li Yiyan before he could salute, Li Yiyan said a little unhappily: "It's all said, you don't need to salute when you see me in the future."
Ning Yunxiao's heart was sweet, and he shook his head and said, "Naturally, I won't salute you when I see you in private, but now it's not in private."
"There are no outsiders," he pulled her to his dragon chair and said, "Ji Ming is back and found out some news about Jing Xueqing, I know you must be very curious, so I just called you to listen to it together."
"Found?" Ning Yunxiao moved his gaze to the only person he hadn't seen, presumably this person was Ji Ming, Ji Feng's brother, and he was also a talent, without Ji Feng's appearance.
"Ji Ming, tell me what you found." Li Yiyan opened his mouth lightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ji Ming said concisely: "The young man next to Princess Linglong is called Qin Ming, after following him for a few days, we found that he is the believer who connects Jing Xueqing and Princess Linglong, this person is extremely vigilant, we don't dare to follow too closely, probably locked a direction, Jing Xueqing is hiding in an old mansion in the capital. This house has a very long history, and we have searched for a long time, but we have not found the whereabouts of the owner of the house. ”
"Then how did you know for sure that Jing Xueqing was hiding there?" Ning Yunxiao asked curiously.
"Hui Niangniang," Ji Ming replied with his hand: "Xiaguan's subordinates monitored day and night, and saw his personal guards coming out of the mansion."
Ning Yunxiao nodded and asked Li Yiyan, "Now that we can be sure that those two people are related, then what are we going to do next."
"Please enter the urn!" Li Yiyan said with a smile.
Ning Yunxiao looked at him suspiciously, how to ask for a law. Jing Xueqing is like a turtle, shrinking in that turtle box all day long, even if she knows his location, there is no way to catch him, because there is no way to determine whether there is another passage, this time let him run, and if you want to know his whereabouts in the future, I am afraid that it will be more difficult.
"Didn't he throw out the bait, and we always have a way to catch the bait keeper along this bait." Li Yiyan looked very relaxed.
Ning Yunxiao said approvingly: "Yes, with Princess Linglong here, I am not afraid that this person will run away easily." It's just a little depressed, and if you want your rival to live in your own territory, you will feel inappropriate on whomever you put it.
Ning Yunxiao thought to herself, dare to live in the old lady's territory, and see if the old lady doesn't play you to death.
"Sui Qing, go and proclaim the decree," Li Yiyan smiled like a fox thief: "I am in line with the will of the people and allow Princess Linglong to enter the palace, but the ceremony is imminent, and the concubine is pressed." If you want to live in the palace, I will do it. "It looks like a great grace, but in fact, there is nothing she wants, just like a boss who praises his employees like flowers, but just doesn't pay you.
"Is that okay? Can you fool Jing Xueqing? Ning Yunxiao knew that the other party would make such a decision for herself, and she was a little worried about what if she affected the big plan because of herself.
Li Yiyan could know what she was worried about at a glance, and comforted, "Don't worry, it's going to be fine, it's not all because of you, Jing Xueqing is good at grasping people's hearts, even I'm not as sharp as him, and now that I'm doing this, he will only believe it, and he won't have any doubts." ”
Ning Yunxiao didn't understand this point, but after thinking about it, he didn't understand it.
He couldn't see how much Li Yiyan spoiled himself. He also knew how stubborn he was, so he deliberately made things difficult and did not let Princess Linglong get close to Li Yiyan, but would reassure him.
"Got it?" Li Yiyan asked.
Ning Yunxiao nodded. Actually, it's not that complicated, it's actually complicated to think about things myself.
"Ji Ming, you continue to monitor Jing Xueqing, don't let him find out, otherwise he will run away." Li Yiyan commanded again.
"Yes." Ji Ming nodded in response, turned around and went out.
Sui Qing went to announce the holy decree and has not yet returned. The companion came out spontaneously, stayed inside as a light bulb, and waited for the master to come back to his senses, I was afraid that he was very dangerous. He also kindly called all the minions and palace maids in the house out.
Seeing that the extra people in the house had gone out, Li Yiyan hugged Ning Yunxiao, feeling that he hadn't been alone like this for a long time. There have been a lot of things since I waited for you, and I haven't talked well.
"What's wrong?" Ning Yunxiao asked softly, moving his shoulders.
"I miss you." I wanted to think about it very much, Li Yiyan said in his heart, and tightened his arms again.
"Flesh and ......" Ning Yunxiao said with a smile, and then said embarrassedly, "I miss you too." ”
