Qi Zhan's explanation was too vague, and she was not satisfied with it, and Wei Nong also felt his perfunctory, and couldn't help but wonder: "Are you really here to kill someone?" Otherwise, why do you play during the day and disappear in the evening? ”

"It's not." Qi Zhan categorically denied it: "If it's really a murderous deed, I'll let her follow." ”

"I don't care! I'm going to follow you! Yingluo directly lost her temper.

Qi Zhan simply ignored her anymore, and turned to Wei Nong and said, "You provoked it, you send it for me." ”

Wei Nong didn't expect him to be so resolute, and was about to persuade him again, but at this moment, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open from outside, and a middle-aged man with a lofty instrument hurriedly stepped in and whispered a word in Qi Zhan's ear.

Qi Zhan's face changed suddenly, and he didn't even have time to say hello, he turned over and jumped out of the window on the second floor, and disappeared on the street like lightning.

The middle-aged man wanted to call him, but when it came to his mouth, he swallowed it back, hurriedly glanced at Weinong, and jumped out of the window.

The change came so suddenly that both girls were puzzled by it. Wei Nong looked at the open window, and a heavy doubt rose in his heart.

Yingluo just looked at Wei Nong and muttered: "That person just said, 'Your Highness'." ”

The two looked at each other, and they both saw a question in each other's eyes: Who is His Highness?

*****

Two hours later, Wei Nong learned the answer - Prince Ning was seriously ill and died, and he drove west in King Ning's palace at three o'clock today. Although she didn't know what Qi Zhan's purpose for coming to Lidu had to do with this matter, she had a faint feeling that Qi Zhan would not appear for the time being.

Prince Xu Shining's illness dragged on for too long, and the people had already made preparations, so when the news came, there was not much movement in the royal capital. King Ning ordered the whole country to be mourned, and the whole city of Li immediately hung up a curtain of Susu, and the inn where Weinong was located was even more grand, and the shopkeeper also cried for this, bluntly saying that there was no successor to Ning Guozuo.

The shopkeeper's words are actually not unreasonable. Today's Ning Wangyuan Qingzheng, who ascended the throne at the age of seven, has been in power for 60 years, no matter how you look at it, he should be a generation of Ming monarchs who will be famous through the ages. But God is fair, and it is impossible for a man to be perfect, not even a king. And King Ning's sore spot comes from his son, Prince Ning, who has just returned to the West - Yuan Zhen.

Speaking of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is really an unlucky character. As early as forty years ago, Yuan Zhen had been named the prince of Ningguo. When the previous King of Yan, that is, when Gaozong Nie Yang was canonized as the crown prince, he also visited Yan Kingdom and sent a beauty, Nie Xingji's biological mother.

In the blink of an eye, now that Yan Gaozong Nie Yang has been funeral, Nie Xingyi has been a hollow Yan King for two years, and King Kening is still in good spirits, and he is still strong and healthy when he is over sixty years old. Yuan Zhen has run out of oil, and he has been the prince of Ningguo for forty years, and finally died on the throne of the prince.

The worst thing is that Yuan Zhen has been promiscuous in the past few years, and the harem has also been full of disputes, and the heirs under his knees have either died of illness or been killed, and no one can live to adulthood. And he himself had already been hollowed out by wine, and later he was seriously ill, so that he died of his heir.

I heard that in the early years, Yuan Zhen was also ambitious, thinking about being a generation of Ming Jun in the future. But later, he found that his father King Ning was too powerful, and he had always done it himself in political affairs, not giving him the slightest opportunity to display his ambitions, which made him repeatedly hit and gave up on himself and gradually declined.

And King Ning, because he was ashamed of his beloved son, also allowed him to be extravagant, and did not mention the transfer of political affairs, nor the abdication, and refused to let go of the power. I really waited and looked forward to it, and completely found that I couldn't survive my father, and finally died in front of my father because of depression for many years and overindulgence.

Because of this, in the sixtieth year of the reign of the original Qing Zheng this year, Ningguo did not celebrate in a big way, and there was no joy in the whole New Year. When Nie Xingyi first ascended the throne last year, Wei Nong heard that the other two sons of King Ning were already eyeing the crown prince's position, and a few days ago she heard Qi Zhan talk about leaving the Hou and the third son of King Ning, and she knew that there was about to be a big change in the Ning Dynasty.

Wei Nong suddenly regretted that he had followed Qi Zhan to Lidu. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, if she is not careful, she will be implicated in the battle for the prince, and she is alone, so it is better to be careful. Thinking like this, she decided to leave Li Du as soon as possible, she had already gotten rid of Jian Feng, and Li Du had been shopping for a few days, and there was nothing to be nostalgic about.

It's just that from the etiquette, she feels that she should say goodbye to Qi Zhan. But Qi Zhan came and went without a trace, where could she go to find him?

Yingluo also has the same distress as Wei Nong, but Wei Nong thinks with her brain, and she expresses it with her actions. Since Qi Zhan jumped out of the window and left, she has been looking around every day, she has used all the tracking methods she has learned, and even her fellow disciples and brothers in Li Du have been alarmed, but no one knows Qi Zhan's news.

For four days in a row, Yingluo went out early and returned late, and came back dejected.

Wei Nong couldn't bear to see her like this, so he comforted her: "Maybe Qi Zhan really has something urgent to do." Don't think about it, just wait a few more days at the inn. ”

Yingluo sighed and asked wiltedly, "You say, did he avoid me on purpose?" Because I'm here, he doesn't show up? ”

Wei Nong denied it intuitively: "I think it has something to do with Prince Ning's death." ”

Yingluo pondered for a moment, and then couldn't sit still: "Otherwise, let's break into King Ning's palace at night?" Looking for news? ”

"What are you crazy about!" Wei Nong hurriedly reprimanded: "A king's palace, is it also said that you can break in?" ”

Yingluo pursed her lips disdainfully: "Although I am not as capable as Qi Zhan, I have also entered the palace, okay?" Don't underestimate me! After speaking, she muttered to herself: "If there are a few more senior brothers, it's nothing." ”

"I think you must have sneaked out, and your senior brother won't help you break into the palace, right?" Slightly thick deliberately reminded.

Yingluo also knew that she was whimsical, and couldn't help but say in frustration: "Then what should I do? I can't leave him behind! ”

"That's it, Yingluo, let's go shopping on the street tomorrow, and I'll accompany you to find it." Wei Nong is the most sad to see the infatuated, and can only comfort him temporarily.

Yingluo nodded: "You should have done this a long time ago!" ”

The next day, the two girls went out together. Wei Nong intended to explain Yingluo, so he took her around, and did not forget to explain everywhere she went: "This is where Qi Zhan took me around." ”

Yingluo was not jealous, but wandered around seriously without landing, and kept asking where Qi Zhan was walking and where he was sitting at that time. Wei Nong saw that she was stunned, and she felt even more pity in her heart, and forgot that she had been a female killer for a while.

After a long afternoon, the two of them had lunch casually, and before they knew it, they walked to the door of a cloth village. Due to the death of Prince Ning, many businesses in Lidu have been temporarily closed, but Buzhuang's business is still booming - every household has come to buy vegetarian white silk.

Wei Nong saw that Yingluo was wearing a black dress for several days, so he had an idea: "Let's go, let's go in and make a few clothes." ”

Yingluo listlessly refused: "Not interested." ”

He sighed slightly: "Women are the ones who please themselves, you are dressed in black every day, and you only have the words 'I am a killer' written on them, how can you make Qi Zhan like it?" ”

"He doesn't look at his face." Yingluo immediately retorted.

"But he often pretends to be amorous, which shows that he is still interested in women." Wei Nong pulled Yingluo and walked to the cloth village: "Let's go in and have a look!" Wait for him to come back in a few days, so that his eyes will shine. ”

As soon as Qi Zhan was mentioned, Yingluo no longer resisted, and let Wei Nong pull her into the cloth village, holding a few pieces of cloth and gesturing back and forth on her body. At the time of Prince Ning's death, the cloth village did not sell bright colors, but fortunately, Yingluo's complexion was ruddy, and the most plain satin was lined with color.

Wei Nong took charge of picking a light green and goose yellow satin for her, and was about to take her to the second floor to measure the size, but saw a young woman being hugged downstairs, and the shopkeeper said respectfully while walking: "Miss Yun, don't worry, as soon as the satin arrives, we will send it to the house immediately." ”

The young woman let out a soft "um", and the words were like gold.

Wei Nong watched a few people walk down at the staircase, felt that the other party was a little familiar, and thought for a moment before remembering that it was the girl she accidentally bumped into a few days ago, the sister-in-law of Hou Yunchen, whose name is ...... Yun Xiao?

Why did you meet her twice on the stairs? One up, one down, quite a narrow road to meet. Wei Nong was taken aback by his nonsensical thoughts and couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, Yun Xiao and the others had also gone downstairs, and when they saw that Wei Nong was smiling, they glanced at her inadvertently. Obviously, Yun Xiao recognized who she was, and suddenly stood still, and said coldly: "It's a national funeral, do you dare to laugh?" It's really rude! ”

Wei Nong was stunned for a moment, and didn't want to worry about her, so he didn't make a sound.

But Yingluo's fiery temper rushed up: "Hey! What does it matter to you whether we cry or laugh? ”

"How dare you be rude to our young lady?" The maid behind Yun Xiao immediately reprimanded.

Wei Nong didn't want to provoke right and wrong, so he pressed Yingluo's shoulder and said lightly: "Let's go!" Go upstairs! ”

Yun Xiao still stood still, looked at the two satins in Wei Nong's hands, and said coldly: "Shopkeeper, I want these two satins." ”

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, so he had to look at Wei Nong, and his face showed a little pleading: "Two girls, this ......"

"Everything should be said to come first and come first, and this satin is the first thing we like." Yingluo immediately expressed her position.

Wei Nong was calm, and replied to Yun Xiao with a smile: "Miss Yun, there may be some misunderstanding between us. I didn't mean to bump into you that day, so please forgive me. ”

Yun Xiao didn't even look at the slight thickness, and her cherry lips opened lightly and aggressively: "These two satins, you can make a price!" ”

Wei Nong didn't expect her to be so unreasonable, but she still didn't want to offend her, so she smiled calmly: "Miss Yun is a noble birth, and she must be a knowledgeable person." You don't have to deal with me, a woman from the countryside, right? ”

When Yun Xiao heard this, she slowly turned her head, looked at Wei Nong from beginning to end, and then coldly spit out a few words: "I just don't like you, what?" It's just that you look like a woman I hate so much. ”
