The medicinal materials raised by the imperial court were transported to Jiangnan, but Huajun Pharmacy still delivered the medicinal materials for seven days according to the previous promise.

Shen Ninghua watched the guards distribute the medicinal herbs, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and sighed secretly: It should be almost the same now.

Baili Jinchuan stood beside her, and sighed in a happy tone: "Ning Hua, fortunately, I didn't make a mistake at the beginning. ”

Shen Ninghua smiled slightly: "The second prince is sensitive, so naturally he won't make the wrong choice." ”

Baili Jinchuan smiled lightly, but he understood in his heart that at the beginning, Shen Ninghua said that he had two ways to choose, one was to take advantage of the chaos to make trouble, and the other was to win the hearts of the people, he originally wanted to choose the first one, because he had a very high prestige in the army, even if he handed over the military power, he could still command the three armies, but in that case, the situation would definitely be bloody.

I don't know why, looking at her clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through forbearance, he unconsciously chose the latter, and now it seems that he chose the right one.

Shen Ninghua covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and coughed softly twice, her face was dyed with a layer of redness: "Ahem." ”

Baili Jinchuan frowned, motioned to the maid behind him to take the cloak, and raised his hand to put it on for Shen Ninghua: "After the rain, the weather suddenly becomes cold, you don't take good care of yourself, and when I go back, my father should punish me." ”

Shen Ninghua retreated to avoid his movements: "How dare you work Your Highness, I'll just come by myself." ”

But Baili Jinchuan strongly refused her action of taking the cloak, stepped forward to drape the cloak on her, and helped her tie the belt very carefully.

Shen Ninghua frowned tightly, looking at Baili Jinchuan's gaze full of scrutiny: "Your Highness has exceeded the rules." ”

"You are the righteous daughter recognized by your father, and you can also be regarded as my sister, isn't it natural for my brother to take care of his sister?"

"The sister of the Second Highness is Princess An Ning, not me Shen Ninghua, and I ask Your Highness to pay attention to proportions in the future." After speaking, he turned around and walked directly into the mansion, and his refusal was undoubtedly revealed.

Baili Jinchuan raised the corners of his lips, and the imperative in his eyes became more and more firm.

Bai Wei hurriedly stepped forward to hold her arm: "Miss, your body hasn't been in good shape in the past two days, don't walk too fast." ”

Shen Ninghua forcibly suppressed the cough in her throat, and her face flushed: "Bai Wei, the rain has stopped, and the plague has stabilized, Jiangnan doesn't have to worry about us, deliver the news to the palace, let's go back." ”

"What about the second prince?"

"Don't worry about him," the situation in Jiangnan stabilized, and Baili Jinchuan naturally relaxed, as soon as this person relaxed, it was easy to have other thoughts.

"Yes, miss, the slave maid will send a message to Kyoto immediately."

"Well, I'm not feeling well, I don't want to see anyone in the past two days, if the second prince and others come over again, just push me off." Don't meet with Baili Jinchuan before you go back.

Bai Wei hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

It's a pity that Shen Ninghua's plan is good, but Baili Jinchuan is far more persistent than she imagined.

In the room, Baili Jinchuan sat on the top chair and sipped slowly with a teacup, not caring about the coldness he received:

"The tea here in Ninghua is extraordinarily elegant."

Shen Ninghua's expression was flat: "The second prince praised it falsely, I heard that the second princess was born in the Zhou family, the Zhou family is a tea ceremony family, and the second princess should also do her best." ”

Baili Jinchuan's gaze followed her tightly, and suddenly smiled: "Do you mind the second princess?" ”

"I don't understand what Your Highness means?" Shen Ninghua frowned.

Baili Jinchuan had a smile on his lips: "Ning Hua, your intelligence is unimaginable, how can you not understand what I mean?" ”

"Please also ask Your Highness to explain."

Baili Jinchuan got up, his tall body with a faint coercion: "Ning Hua, isn't what I mean obvious enough?" You'll be married in a few months, how about marrying me? As for the second princess, you don't have to mind, I won't let you be bullied in any way, besides, with your intelligence, it's not easy for her to bully you. ”

Shen Ninghua sneered in her heart, it seems that this skin is really useful, in the last life, she had an ugly appearance, and she was disgusted and disgusted when she was given to Baili Jinze as a gift, but now there are people rushing to marry. However, the person in front of her is not her beloved:

"The second prince wants to marry me?"

"Yes."

Shen Ninghua smiled, her black eyes with a frosty aura: "The second princess is your wife, and marrying her is called marrying, while other women, including the side concubines, are all concubines, and they are only worthy of being called a na. His Royal Highness the Second Prince, although my mother has passed away, her identity as the concubine of the Xia family will never change, and although my father is in prison, he is also a very human minister, as the concubine of the Shen family and the lord of Ninghua County, the emperor himself sealed, do you think I will be your concubine? ”

Baili Jinchuan ignored the coldness in her voice, and said seriously: "Do you want to be a concubine?" Don't forget, your mother's background is noble, but the Xia family has fallen, and the Shen family is exhausted. I will now grant you the position of a side concubine, and in the future, I will give you the glory of the imperial concubine, and the position will be the same as the deputy queen! ”

Shen Ninghua looked at Baili Jinchuan in front of him indifferently, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness, you better go back, I, Shen Ninghua, will definitely not be someone else's concubine." ”

"Ning Hua, my father named you the county lord because you need to come to Jiangnan for disaster relief, this time will definitely give you an identity that can stabilize people's hearts, and when you return to Kyoto, the Shen family is about to ask for guilt, and your position will be embarrassing. You shouldn't be bothered by gossip, I want the best of everything for you, why don't you think about it? ”

"I don't have to think about it, thank you for the kindness of the second prince, I can't afford it, ah......"

Baili Jinchuan suddenly stepped forward, wrapped one hand around Shen Ninghua's waist, imprisoned her in his arms, and put the other hand on her light-colored lips: "These red lips are as beautiful as petals, but the words that come out are more hurtful than cold ice, Ninghua, do you have another sweetheart?" ”

A wave of anger gathered in his heart, this man was so incomprehensible! Shen Ninghua struggled hard, but he couldn't match his strength, his eyes were cold, and a golden needle was pulled out of his cuff and slammed into the numb hole of his arm.

Baili Jinchuan felt a numbness in his arm, and then let go of Shen Ninghua weakly: "What method did you use?" ”

Shen Ninghua took two steps back, his eyes full of vigorous anger: "You should be glad that I didn't have time to apply poison to the golden needle!" ”

Baili Jinchuan didn't take it seriously at all, moved his arm gently, and felt that his strength was slowly recovering and completely let go of his worries: "You should be in the most gorgeous palace, enjoying the careful service of the maids and servants, the tea brewed with morning dew, and the worship of thousands of people...... And all this, only I can give you, you think about it. ”

Shen Ninghua didn't want to continue to dwell on this topic with him, so she raised her voice at the door: "Qingque, His Royal Highness the Second Prince should go back and help me send it off." She really didn't expect Baili Jinchuan to be so domineering.

Qingque had already heard the movement in the room, but he didn't dare to break in without permission because of Shen Ninghua's order, and now that Shen Ninghua had spoken, he immediately stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation to Baili Jinchuan: "The slave and maid send His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”

Baili Jinchuan looked at her deeply, turned around and walked out. And as soon as he walked out of the courtyard, Chu Junyi appeared in Shen Ninghua's room.

Raising his index finger and rubbing his forehead vigorously, Shen Ninghua gave up his elegant movements for the first time, revealing an impatient look: "You guys have made an appointment?" ”

Chu Junyi had a smile on his face, but there was a storm surging in his eyes, obviously brewing: "Baili Jinchuan is really a big face, he even asked you to be his concubine." ”

Shen Ninghua sighed softly, and the anger in his heart slowly calmed down: "I didn't expect him to say that. ”

"It's not surprising that any member of the royal family is not like this, they try their best to get what they like, and then quickly lose interest after getting it, in the final analysis, it's just arrogance and selfishness."

Shen Ninghua's eyes moved, and he looked up at Chu Junyi, this person seemed to have said before that he had a grudge against the royal family, listening to the meaning of what he said just now, it seemed that the royal family had robbed him of something, or his family's things, and the family that had things that the royal family coveted should be very strong...... After thinking about it carefully, there was no family that matched her conjecture in her heart, where did Chu Junyi come from?

Chu Junyi's gaze was focused: "Ning Hua, don't have too much to do with the royal family." ”

"I'm measured."

"I believe that you are measured, just a family of women, you are beautiful, and your intelligence is unparalleled, especially this disaster relief has made significant contributions, and when you go back, it will definitely attract many children of the family to pursue, how should you deal with it then?"

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and there will be a way when the time comes."

Chu Junyi looked down at her: "The best way is to find someone who is in love, and when you have a name, those wild bees and butterflies will naturally disperse by themselves." ”

"Thank you Mo Gongzi for reminding me, I will seriously consider it." Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes slightly, this is indeed a good way, she doesn't want to be a bargaining chip for everyone, the best way is to choose a person with a weak personality who is easy to handle to marry, but she has experienced the harm of the previous life, it is really not a last resort, she doesn't want to play with marriage.

When the news of the subsidence of the Jiangnan plague reached Kyoto, the people cheered and celebrated, and the streets were lit up like a city that never sleeps.

Baili Qingcang's face was full of joy, and on the day he received the news, he immediately ordered that Pingcheng and Yicheng be exempted...... and more than a dozen severely affected places were taxed for three years, and in addition, the king of Xuande County, General Xiao, and the county lord of Ninghua returned to Beijing......

The whole of Kyoto was filled with an atmosphere of jubilation, but Shen Dong and Zhao and others, who were imprisoned in the prison, were silent.

When Shen Ninghua came back, the emperor was about to announce the disposition of the Shen family, how could they be happy?

At this time, Shen Linghan's whole person was about to go crazy, and he threw the steamed bun in his hand to the ground fiercely: "Why didn't Shen Ninghua, this slut, die outside, and come back to do something!" It's all her that we're in this situation! ”

Shen Dong's face was gloomy: "Shut up!" ”

Shen Linghan raised her reddened eyes suddenly, she had been imprisoned in the prison for too long, her hair was sticky together, sticking to her pale face, making her whole person look like a demon: "Why should I keep my mouth shut, did I say something wrong?" Father, until now you are still partial to that little slut, let me tell you, all this was designed by Shen Ninghua, if it weren't for her, how would we be in such a situation! That slut deserves to be dragged out with a thousand cuts! ”

Shen Linghan gasped for breath and tore the straw at his hand fiercely, everything was obviously fine, if there was no Shen Ninghua's return, she would still be the pearl of the Zhao family and the Shen family, how could it have come to this point!

Suddenly, a deep voice full of pity remembered: "Lord Shen has suffered here, although Miss Shen's words are a bit extreme, but they are not unreasonable, Lord Ninghua's approach is indeed incomprehensible." ”

Shen Linghan raised his head suddenly, and then his eyes lit up suddenly.
