Chapter 85: Faking Illness
Seeing Baili Lan commanding the servant girl to be busy, Nangong Jingchen stepped forward and asked mysteriously, "Lan'er, aren't you curious about how General Sima and I discussed it today?" ”
"What's there to be curious about, it's nothing more than that General Sima and you form an alliance for mutual benefit. But now is not the time for him to do substantial help. General Sima was known for his steady actions, and naturally he would have to wait for the situation to become clearer before openly choosing which side to side with. ”
Seeing Bai Lilan's strange appearance, Nangong Jingchen couldn't help but be a little discouraged, but he still didn't give up, leaned forward again, and asked, "The general process of the matter is indeed like this, but, do you know what General Sima said about you?" ”
Bai Lilan stopped her movements suddenly, turned around and looked at the mysterious Nangong Jingchen, revealing an expression of "you are very troublesome", and said impatiently: "For the sake of you or a patient, I don't care about you, if you buzz around me like a bee again, I will let the spring breeze give you the most bitter medicine in the world, and look at you in person, and ask you to drink it all!" ”
Nangong Jingchen was still looking forward to it, but let Baili Lan be so intimidated, he immediately sat down obediently, and didn't dare to speak casually, but his face was still a little unwilling, and after enduring less than a moment, he still said in a low voice: "Since Lan'er doesn't want to know, then I'll tell you directly." General Sima said, you have the demeanor of a woman from the previous dynasty! Do you know who the former lady is? It's Ling Hongru! She was a legendary woman, and her deeds are now widely spread among the people! Nangong Jingchen also wanted to tell Bai Lilan about how superb this Ling Hongru was, but Bai Lilan's eyes flew over, making him give up this idea, immediately close his lips, and sit down obediently.
Looking at this little couple who looked like living treasures, they smiled shamelessly, and turned out of the inn to prepare their horses. As soon as Wuyan left the room, Xia Yu shivered, and asked the spring breeze next to him: "Did you hear a cry just now, it's really terrifying!" ”
***
With his hands behind his back, Su Yiling looked impatient, looking at the housekeeper standing in front of him, Ling Ran said: "I have been waiting for five days, every time I ask to see King Lanling, every time you say that the prince is unwell, I wonder, what kind of illness does King Lanling have, five days have passed, and there has been no improvement at all, or are you simply prevaricating this king!" ”
The housekeeper standing opposite Su Yiling was still neither humble nor arrogant, and lowered his head and said: "King Ling, please calm your anger, it's not that the slaves don't go in to report, but that the prince of my family is really sick." Last time, because of the handling of the plague, the prince did not rest for many days, and the root of the disease that fell before recurred. As the so-called illness comes like a mountain, the prince must recuperate at the moment, even if you see the prince, with the prince's current physical condition, he can't deal with anything. ”
"Then, even if it is out of courtesy, I have to visit King Lanling, you slave is always blocking here, procrastinating, are you deliberately hiding something!" Su Yiling has made up her mind, you must see Nangong Jingchen today! If you can't see him, I'm afraid that even the Emperor of Bac Ninh won't be able to explain.
Seeing that Su Yiling looked like he would not give up until he reached his goal, the housekeeper sighed and said appointively: "Hey, okay, since King Ling insists on this, then wait a while, and I'll ask the doctor if the prince can meet guests in his current condition." After speaking, the housekeeper turned around and slipped into the garden, turned left and right, and disappeared after a while.
Damn it!
Hammering a stout ancient tree, Su Yiling pondered that today must be the same as the last few times, and this cunning butler didn't know what appeared after entering. That old bastard, after dealing with the King of Lanling, he will definitely be stripped of his skin and bones, and he will not be spared!
Just as Su Yiling was thinking about the old housekeeper in his heart, a familiar voice suddenly sounded softly behind him, so that his fierce face didn't have time to take it back, and it was so naked in front of Bai Lilan.
"I thought it was who, it turned out to be His Royal Highness King Ling." Bai Lilan was dressed in simple clothes and said with a distant smile, "Since you're here, why are you standing here?" Let's go sit down first. ”
Seeing the beautiful woman in his dreams, Su Yiling was naturally excited, but at the same time, he didn't forget why he came today. His eyes were fixed on Baili Lan, and Su Yiling asked casually: "It seems that the princess has not been in the mansion these days, otherwise she would have known that someone asked to see King Lanling, but she didn't see her for five days." ”
Pulling her long sleeves, Baili Lan lowered her eyebrows and said, "I have indeed not been in the palace these days, and I went to Linxian with my subordinates. The prince has been unwell lately, and I heard that there is a doctor there who is good at treating stubborn diseases, so I want to go and see for myself. I didn't expect that I was still a step too late, and the famous doctor had already left. ”
"Which famous doctor is it, so the princess is thinking about it, it's better to say it and listen to it, maybe this king is familiar with him, so he can introduce it to King Lanling."
"No need," Bai Lilan smiled at the corner of her mouth and said with a slight sneer, "My prince's illness is not a big problem, how dare you bother King Ling!" It's windy here, let's go in and wait, Qiushuang, take King Ling to the study! ”
"Yes!" After receiving Baili Lan's order, Qiushuang took two steps forward, stood in front of Shu Yiling, stretched her arms slightly, and made a gesture of please.
Having said this, Shu Yiling had no way to continue to pester Baililan, so she could only throw off her sleeves angrily and leave unwillingly.
"County Lord, that King Ling's eyes are really annoying, as if he can poke out a hook!" After Shu Yiling walked away, Xia Yu frowned and said, "Could it be that he still has a thief's heart and is not dead?" Tsk, I have been taught such a big lesson at the beginning, and I don't know how to be obedient, it's really cowardly! The county lord, do you want the slaves to teach him a lesson? ”
"Are you idle?" Baili Lan glanced at Xia Yu, who immediately stood up in an orderly manner, not daring to talk nonsense.
Turning her gaze, Bai Lilan looked at the disappearing back of Su Yiling in front of her, and sneered, secretly thinking that someone still needs to spend time dealing with him? After the collapse of the Bac Ninh Dynasty, he, the prince, will naturally not get a good death!
After waiting in the study for a full hour, before Su Yiling went crazy, Nangong Jingchen came. As soon as he saw Su Yiling, Nangong Jingchen coughed and apologized repeatedly, with a sincere attitude, so that Su Yiling's anger couldn't be released.
Sitting on the agarwood chair with a gloomy face, Shu Yiling said coldly: "It's really difficult to see King Lanling, but it seems that King Lanling is really sick." ”
"Ahem, it's just a little problem, Prince Lao is worried." Nangong Jingchen covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed twice, and said with a weak face.
With the movement of Nangong Jingchen's hand, Shu Yiling found that a dazzling red fell on the handkerchief, although it was immediately held tightly in the palm of Nangong Jingchen's hand, but it still made Shu Yiling show a weird smile.
Hmph, this Nangong Jingchen is just a sick man, he should have died a long time ago to be clean! Even if he tried his best to get rid of the control of Emperor Bac Ninh, but man is not as good as heaven, and what awaits him is doom after all!
"By the way, I don't know why King Ling came to Lanling this time?"
Putting away the faint smile on his face, Su Yiling said with a solemn expression: "That's the case, the emperor heard that the king of Lanling has made meritorious contributions to the plague, and specially ordered the king to come and express his condolences to the king of Lanling and the princess of Lanling, so as to show the emperor's grace. ”
"Thank you for your compassion on the courtiers!" Nangong Jingchen smiled indifferently, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
At this moment, He Che entered with a bowl of soup and medicine, sent it to Nangong Jingchen, and said with a flattering smile: "Lord Wang, it's time to take medicine." ”
A slight crack appeared in the perfect smile, Nangong Jingchen's body couldn't help but step back, and said, "Let's take it down first, this king is discussing with King Ling, and I'll be talking about it for a while!" ”
"That's not good, the princess can explain, you must watch you drink the medicine with your own eyes, otherwise you will definitely pour out the decoction again when you turn around!"
Looking at Su Yiling uncomfortably, Nangong Jingchen reprimanded in a low voice: "He Che, whose slave are you!" ”
"Of course it's your minion, but in the matter of taking medicine, the slave listens to the princess!" He Che handed over the medicine bowl with a smile, completely unmoved by Nangong Jingchen's anger.
Sighing softly, Nangong Jingchen saw that there was no way to hide, so he had to take the medicine bowl, pour all the bitter medicinal juice in one go, and after a long time, his red face returned to normal.
Looking at Su Yiling on the other side, Nangong Jingchen smiled apologetically and said, "Let King Ling see the joke, Neiko is like this, I like to worry, in fact, there is nothing wrong with my body." ”
The corners of his mouth moved stiffly, and Su Yiling barely showed a smiling expression, and said coldly: "The prince and the princess are deeply in love, and they are really envious of others." It's just that...... The king received news from the palace today, and it seems that it will be very unfavorable to the prince and the princess. ”
Nangong Jingchen was wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, couldn't help but stop his movements, and asked very cooperatively: "Oh? What is it? ”
Staring at Nangong Jingchen, Su Yiling's voice was like a demon, and she said with schadenfreude: "Liang Meiren's sister, Liang Ruoxue, she is dead!" ”
As soon as Nangong Jingchen's hand was released, the handkerchief in his hand fell to the ground, and he said in disbelief: "Liang Ruoxue is dead?" How is it possible, she just has some mental problems, and it shouldn't be fatal! ”
"Her problem is indeed not good to death, but the prince also knows that she is not in good spirits, and at night when people are not paying attention, she likes to sneak to the river and dance alone, but if she is not careful, she falls into the river and dies!"
"This ...... The emperor can't misunderstand anything, right? ”
"The emperor didn't misunderstand, but Liang Meiren cried to death twice in the past, holding the emperor and asking to kill the enemy. King Lanling thinks that who will be the enemy in Liang Mei's mouth? ”
Because of his impatience, Nangong Jingchen's cough worsened, and he had to cough twice when he said a few words, and it took him half a day to finish speaking, "Trouble King Ling to help in front of the emperor, we don't owe anything to Liang Ruoxue, treat her like family, and never hurt her!" Now we can understand that Liang Meiren is emotional, but I also hope that the emperor will not be estranged from Lanling because of this! ”
Estrangement? Hmph, the emperor can't wait to kill you immediately!
