After Chu Liuyan's persuasion, Zhu Yuanzhang's idea of accepting Li Ningluo as his wife was really put on hold for the time being. Li Ningluo was delayed for a few days, and Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of making her his wife. She has always been virtuous and virtuous in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and it is inconvenient for her to ask. It's just that despite this, Zhu Yuanzhang's love for her has not diminished at all.

One night a few days later, the wind was high and the moon was dark, and the night was dark. An agile black figure jumped out of Zhu Yuanzhang's mansion with light skills. She looked around, but no one around noticed her, so she walked out of Yingtian and walked out of the city. Walking to the edge of the bridge under the city wall, she learned the voice of a partridge and called a few times, and a man dressed as Hanako came out from under the bridge.

The two glanced at each other, saw that there was no one around, and walked to the bridge one after the other. The man in black suddenly bowed down: "Lord Taiwei! ”

Asked Huazi to turn around and smile slightly, his face was clear and handsome, even if it was mud, he couldn't hide his temperament, he was the captain Zhang Dingbian next to Chen Youliang. Zhang Dingbian nodded and asked, "Nalan Xue, you flew the pigeon and said that you were not going well, what is the situation, come and listen to me quickly." ”

The man in black took off his veil, and a magnificent face shone in the dim light. Such a deceitful look is not Li Ningluo. Li Ningluo's face was solemn, swept away the coquettishness of the past, and said with a straight face: "Lord Qiyu, everything was going very smoothly. Li Shanchang also obeyed my words, never doubted my identity at all, and recognized me as a righteous daughter according to the plan we had planned before. In order to please Zhu Yuanzhang, he really dedicated me to Zhu Yuanzhang. At first, everything went very well, Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to make me his wife, but who knew that at this time, Xu Biyi suddenly became pregnant, and Chu Liuyan helped her out, Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Chu Liuyan's advice and made me his wife, so he put it on hold. ”

"It's this Chu Liuyan again!" Zhang Dingbian's voice was a little unwilling: "Chu Liuyan is just a little woman, and she almost turned the world upside down." Nalan Xue, what kind of woman is Chu Liuyan? Is it more beautiful than you? Why is it that whether it is King Han or Zhu Yuanzhang Xu Da, they are all dizzy by her, and they don't know why. ”

"This ..... Please forgive your subordinates for saying bluntly, Chu Liuyan's appearance is not as good as the eleventh of his subordinates. It's not that his subordinates are arrogant, but even Zhu Yuanzhang said so. It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang is quite affectionate to Chu Liuyan, and it is far from being comparable to me. Now, my subordinates are in a dilemma, so I have to dare to find the captain and ask the captain to teach me what to do next. Li Ningluo's expression did not change and said.

Zhang Dingbian thought for a while and said, "Nalan Xue, I have worked hard to cultivate you for so many years, just hoping that you can help King Han. Now, the separation between Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da, I am determined to win, and you must not afford to lose. As for Chu Liuyan, I will soon send a killer to kill her, so that we will be saved from future troubles, you don't have to worry! ”

"Yes. It's just that now Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Chu Liuyan's advice and refused to accept me as his wife. Xu Biyi is pregnant again, and she is even favored by Zhu Yuanzhang and taken care of by Ma Xiuying, if I want to kill Xu Biyi and blame Zhu Yuanzhang, I'm afraid it's not easy for people to believe. Li Ningluo said helplessly.

Zhang Dingbian thought for a while, then said with a sneer: "Didn't you say that Xu Biyi is pregnant?" In this case, let's come to a way of giving back to the other. After a few days, you will also go to tell Zhu Yuanzhang that you are pregnant. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang just didn't want to make you his wife, and Li Shanchang's old man didn't follow. It's just that if you want to buy a doctor, you have to do it well. ”

Li Ning arched his hand and said, "Nalan Xue understands. Thank you, Lieutenant, for that point. I know what to do next. ”

Zhang Dingbian waved his hand and said, "In this case, you should go back quickly, so as not to be discovered by Zhu Yuanzhang." I will also rush back to Heaven, like the king of Han to return to his life. You have to be careful in everything you do. I sent a killer to kill Chu Liuyan, you must keep it secret, and you must not let the rumors reach the ears of King Han. I'm afraid that when the time comes, the king of Han will care about his children's love again, and he won't be able to do it. ”

After Li Ningluo agreed again, he said goodbye to Zhang Dingbian and soon disappeared into the vast night.

By the time she returned to the Mansion of Wu Guo, most of the people had fallen asleep. Therefore, without much effort, she passed through the wall and went to her own room.

In the days to come, Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't mention Mrs. Li again, and Li Ningluo also showed a lot of knowledge of current affairs and didn't mention it again. But Li Shanchang always felt that he couldn't swallow this breath. mentioned Zhu Yuanzhang several times and established Li Ningluo as his wife. It's just that every time Zhu Yuanzhang uses the grounds that Chen Youliang is surrounding Yingtian and it is not appropriate to discuss the private affairs of these children for the time being, he temporarily pushes these things over. However, with Zhu Yuanzhang's favor, Li Ningluo's status has also been greatly improved, and Li Shanchang has also risen with the tide, and for a while, there are many people who flatter him.

Time passed day by day, Chu Liuyan's body slowly improved a lot, but she still rarely got out of bed and walked around, and she was bored in the room every day, not knowing what was going on. On weekdays, only Xu Biyi and Liu Bowen went to visit her, and Ma Xiuying occasionally went to take a look. After Chang Yuchun changed his mind, his body gradually recovered, and he would soon be able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. When the news reached the ears of King Han, Zhang Bixian regretted it first, and shouted that he had known that this was the case, and it was better to kill Chang Yuchun with a knife, and now he has left a strong opponent for his side for no reason.

On the other side, Li Ningluo still serves by Zhu Yuanzhang's side every day, and he is very popular with Zhu Yuanzhang. Xu Biyi tasted it from time to time, but after being persuaded by Chu Liuyan a few times, she had no choice but to do it.

On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at the secret report sent by the people he sent to the front line about Xu Da's actions. Li Ningluo walked in with a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup and served beside him without saying a word. It wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang finished reading it that he found that Li Ningluo had been waiting next to him for a long time, and couldn't help but say a little apologetically: "When did you come in?" ”

Li Ningluo said gently: "I've been in for a while, and I saw that Guogong was busy with government affairs and didn't dare to disturb, so I waited on the sidelines." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang took her into his arms, and she took the white fungus lotus seed soup and fed it to Zhu Yuanzhang to drink, and then said softly to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Guogong, I have one thing, I don't know if I want to tell Guogong." After speaking, he buried his head in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms and stopped talking.

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked her hair and said with a smile: "What's the matter with Condensation, let's just tell me about it." Zhu Yuanzhang promised her the position of his wife before, but he didn't do it, so he was very accommodating to her.

Li Ningluo's voice was thinner than a mosquito, but his voice was in his ears: "Guogong, Ningluo has been feeling unwell in the past few days, and Dr. Chuan took a look, but he never thought that it was." With that, he buried his head deeply. Zhu Yuanzhang was skeptical at first glance, and couldn't help but ask again: "What did you say?" Only then did Li Ningluo say what he wanted to say.

Zhu Yuanzhang held her hand and said happily: "Are you true?" ”

Li Ningluo showed shyness on his face and said: "Well, these days, Guogong has been pampering Ningluo every night. Fortunately, Ningluo did not live up to Guogong's ability to give birth to a son and a half daughter for Guogong, which is really a blessing from God to Ningluo. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" I, Zhu Yuanzhang, have never had children for so many years, but I didn't expect that not long after Biyi was pregnant, you are pregnant again, and God will bless us. Condensation, I will pass down the order tomorrow to make you the third lady. ”

"But...... If this will make Guogong embarrassed, Condensation would rather not have this false name, so as not to embarrass Guogong. Li Ningluo said, she said very sincerely.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of Chu Liuyan, and he was distracted for a while. He had promised Chu Liuyan before not to marry Li Ningluo as the third lady, but now that Li Ningluo already has his children, if he still doesn't make her his wife, it seems a bit too much. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly: "In this world, who can find me rare?" I, Zhu Yuanzhang, am willing to be a wife, and I will be a lady! ”

Li Ningluo hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Guogong." Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly helped her up. The two of them have a sweet talk again, you and me.

Li Ningluo was named Mrs. Feng, and she had a plan in her heart, but she didn't expect that at this time, Ma Xiuying helped her once. That was when the news of Li Ningluo's being named his wife spread, and Ma Xiuying specially came to congratulate Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Ningluo. Ma Xiuying took Li Ningluo's hand and looked at it a few times, then said with a smile: "Guogong, the girl Ningluo is born with a lovely appearance, and she is a suitable man, and the concubines are also happy for Guogong." This girl is also a blessing, but the concubine has served the prince for so long, and she has never given birth to half a girl or a boy. It's not like Biyi's sister, a few days ago, she had a little rain and dew, and she had a child of the princess. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang held her hand and said with a smile: "Madame is serious." Mrs. works hard for family affairs, and her country's public gratitude is not enough. When he said this, he suddenly remembered the words "Wei Cheng Yulu" said by Ma Xiuying, and the previous suspicions slowly came to his mind.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang does not love Ma Xiuying, he respects her. So every month, there are always three or five nights where she sleeps. But because of the dislike with Xu Da a few days ago, Zhu Yuanzhang almost didn't go to Xu Biyi. The only time, it was also the simple Xu Biyi who seduced him, and he just tasted it, Xu Biyi was so easily pregnant?

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious in his heart, he was silent at all. However, Li Ningluo is such a smart and powerful person, there are words in Ma Xiuying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts in her heart, why can't she hear it and see it? Therefore, she smiled and said, "How dare my sister compare the blessings of my sister and the sister of the Xu family?" My sister is the wife of her husband and is admired by thousands of people. And the sister of the Xu family, there are some brothers around her, which is known to the world. Sister Fubo, where are these blessings. ”

Li Ningluo said these words quietly, and heard Zhu Yuanzhang's ears being particularly harsh. Especially the sentence she said, "Sister Xu has some brothers around her", which made Zhu Yuanzhang a little suspicious. If it had been before, he would never have suspected that Xu Biyi would have betrayed him. But now, he wasn't sure.

At the beginning, it was indeed he who wanted to frame Xu Da and take advantage of King Xiao Ming to put Xu Da to death. At that time, he did snub Xu Biyi. And he had promised Xu Biyi that he would treat her well, but later he not only married Ma Xiuying, but also had other women one after another, and he was very cold to Xu Biyi, didn't Xu Biyi hate her at all?

In fact, when Zhu Yuanzhang and his brothers were ruffians, many of his brothers did have a good impression of Xu Biyi, Xu Biyi only liked him at the beginning, but he was also good to the people next to him, such as Chang Yuchun, for example, Lan Yu who met later, for example, Tang He who met later, and many other people, either because of Xu Da's relationship or because of others, all had a good relationship with Xu Biyi.

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, he felt that he couldn't sit down anymore. After Ma Xiuying left, he was a little restless, and all this fell into Li Ningluo's eyes. Li Ningluo asked, "Guogong, is there something wrong with you?" If you have something, you might as well tell Condensation, or Condensation can come up with an idea. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said to Li Ningluo: "Ningluo, you have also visited Biyi a few times, what kind of person do you think she is?" ”

Li Ningluo thought for a while and said, "Guogong, I also went to visit Sister Biyi, but Sister Biyi didn't see me a few times. Sister Biyi's sister in Tsing Yi told me that her sister was in poor health and it was inconvenient to see people. Ning Luo was also afraid of disturbing Sister Biyi, so she came back quietly. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes, glanced at Li Ningluo, and asked, "Little guy in Tsing Yi?" Shouldn't the one who serves Biyi be a maid? ”

Li Ningluo shook his head innocently and said: "Ningluo doesn't dare to deceive the Guogong, he is a young man in Tsing Yi, he looks handsome, and he looks three points better than a girl." When Ning Luo saw it, he couldn't help but sigh that there was such a good-looking kid in this world. When Li Ningluo said this, his face was already slightly red, of course, these were exactly the same, and they all fell in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

"Oh? Condensation, then how do you say that kid compares to me? Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was cold.

Li Ningluo shook his head and said naturally: "That nature cannot be compared, Guogong is a great hero and hero, and he will be the ninety-five honor of the world in the future, and his temperament is naturally the spirit of a king." And that little guy in Tsing Yi is just a boy with oily hair and a powdery face. If he is compared to Guogong, he is as insignificant as an ant on the ground. ”

"Oh? Are you telling the truth? The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth smiled slightly.

"When did Condensation deceive the Guogong?" Li Ningluo said, and drilled into Zhu Yuanzhang's arms. Zhu Yuanzhang's nephrite jade was warm and fragrant, and it softened immediately. Li Ningluo took the opportunity to say solemnly: "It's just that there is a sentence that Ningluo doesn't know whether to say or not." If you don't say it, the condensation is also worthless for the country. If you do, you are afraid that you will say the wrong thing. Seeing Mrs. Ma think the same thing today, Ning Luo dared to say it to Guogong. ”

"Tell me about it, I don't blame you." Zhu Yuanzhang pinched Li Ningluo's ears and said, "What an elf girl." ”

Li Ningluo knelt down, and said: "Guogong, Ningluo is not trying to tell right and wrong, nor is it deliberately talking about people behind his back, Ningluo is here to swear to the sky with the child in my belly, if there is half a lie in what he says, after my child is born, he must ..... You must not die well! When she said this, a pair of beautiful eyes shed tears.

Zhu Yuanzhang also felt a little pitiful when he saw her pear blossom spring rain, and saw that she swore with her own child, so naturally she would not lie. The child is the closest person to the mother, how can there be a mother in the world who wants her child to die well? Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang helped her up and said, "Say it, I will believe you." ”

Li Ningluo said slowly: "Guogong, Ningluo has visited Sister Biyi several times, but Sister Biyi has avoided it. Once, Ning Luo went to see his sister, and the little guy in Tsing Yi said that his sister was not in good health, so Ning Luo walked out. On the way, I saw that the begonia flowers were blooming well, so I stood in front of the door and took a few more looks. At this time, I heard the sound of men and women laughing from under the porch. Ning Luo heard that it was not the voice of the Guogong, so he quietly hid behind the begonia flower to see, who knows, who knows......"

"Who knows? You said! Zhu Yuanzhang's face became iron-blue, and his eyes were a little terrifying. He squeezed Li Ningluo's hand vigorously and asked, "What did you say you saw?" ”

Li Ningluo was like a frightened rabbit, and said softly: "Guogong, you hurt Ningluo." Ning Luo saw Sister Biyi and the little guy in Tsing Yi hugging each other. Just then, a cat scurried by and made a noise. Ning Luo heard Sister Biyi ask who it was inside. Condensation was frightened and immediately ran out from behind the begonia flowers and fled. Guogong still remembers that day, my face was pale, lying in bed all day, Guogong, you asked me what's wrong, I kept shaking my head and saying it's okay? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately nodded and said, "I still remember." I asked you what's wrong, and you said you were scared by a cat, right? ”

"Yes. It was that day that Ning Luo saw Sister Biyi and the little guy in Tsing Yi hugging each other. Later, I always wanted to talk to Guogong, but how can I talk about this kind of thing? I'm afraid that I won't see it really, and I'm afraid that Guogong will misunderstand me and think that I am trying to frame Sister Biyi. I'm afraid that this thing is true, and the National Council will be sad. Anyway, I really don't know what to do. To this day, Mrs. Ma said the doubts in her heart, although she was inadvertently and unintentional, but it really touched my heart. Only then did I think twice about it and tell it out. After all, Ning Luo really didn't want Guogong to be deceived. ”

"Okay, good, good, condensation, you really don't deceive me?" Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists, obviously extremely angry in his heart.

Li Ningluo's eyes were like clear water, and he shook his head and said, "Ningluo will never dare to deceive the Guogong. If Guogong really doesn't believe it, he might as well go to Sister Biyi's courtyard, search out the little guy in Tsing Yi, and then ask him what to say. If there is a lie in what Condensation said, then Condensation is at the disposal of the national public. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and sat down with Li Ningluo, who had sworn by the gambling curse, aside and sat down. Condensation's words are too true. When you hear it, it's as if it really happened. Moreover, if she speaks, she won't be able to find the little guy in Tsing Yi at that time, or if the little guy won't recognize it to death, what good will it do to Li Ningluo?

What's more, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, she felt that Li Ningluo had no motive since she came to Fuzhong until now. She is Li Shanchang's daughter, but she never says a good word for Li Shanchang, but plans everything for herself. She occasionally talked about some of her own opinions and opinions, but she rarely had a personal color, all for Zhu Yuanzhang's sake. She never told lies, and there was no need to get along with Xu Biyi when she was pregnant and in love.

There is only one possibility for Li Ningluo to do this. That is, what she said was true.
