130. Rules of Survival
Seeing Zhi Ning's flusteredness, Huo Chen frowned. 【】
Zhi Ning lowered her head, but she felt Huo Chen's sharp gaze slashing over her body, and her body immediately trembled, and with a small broken step, she moved closer to Mu Wanqing's side in order to feel safe.
This move provoked Huo Chen's anger, what happened to this maid? Could it be that he has been pestering Mu Wanqing?
"Mu Wanqing, go back to the house with this king." Huo Chen's face recovered, and he didn't pay attention to Zhi Ning anymore.
When she heard Huo Chen call her full name, she knew that Huo Chen was not in a good mood, she looked at Zhi Ning, patted Zhi Ning on the shoulder, and said softly: "You change into clean clothes first, and I will go out with the prince to talk for a while." ”
Zhi Ning hesitated for a while before nodding in agreement.
Mu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Huo Chen: "Lord Wang, go out and talk about it." ”
The two walked out together, but Zhi Ning quickly closed the door and lowered the window, as if she was afraid of Huo Chen's peeping, which made Huo Chen's mood even more unhappy.
"Since you found Zhining, why do you still stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Aren't you afraid of gossip from others? Huo Chenliang suppressed his anger.
"Zhining's situation is not very good, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of her when I go back to the palace." Mu Wanqing lowered her head, this is like a choice between a lover and a friend, I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing here, "The prince's birthday, I will make up for the gift in the future." ”
When Huo Chen heard this, he snorted coldly, but there was some joy in his heart.
"You are the master, she is just a maid, and you want to take care of her? Isn't that too funny? ”
Mu Wanqing was speechless, so she had to say: "Zhining is like my relative, I have never treated her as a maid." ”
"What about me? I don't even remember my birthday, so what are you and I? Huo Chen chuckled, his eyes fixed on Mu Wanqing, waiting for her answer.
"I'll treat you as my husband." Mu Wanqing met his gaze without fear, she looked calm, and continued, "As a husband, the prince should also be considerate of me, just as I understand the prince, I will not cry and make a fuss wherever the prince stays." ”
Huo Chen was stunned, he didn't expect Mu Wanqing to taunt him, it seemed that Mu Wanqing still minded this matter.
"But it's not a way for you to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion all the time, it's better to go back to the palace earlier, otherwise my father and the emperor will be suspicious again." Huo Chen said, and took Mu Wanqing's hand.
"Can you give me a few days?" Mu Wanqing looked down at the tightly interlocked hands, her heart warmed, Huo Chen would come to her, it was already beyond her expectations, although her heart was a little unhappy, but she understood that in this era, men do not have the so-called single-mindedness, she only begs, Huo Chen has her place in her heart.
"Nope." Huo Chen refused, "What happened?" Zhining was just injured by a little flesh and skin, and the palace was recuperating, why did she have to be in the palace? ”
Mu Wanqing bit her lower lip, and her heart was full of thoughts, she didn't even mention half a word about Mu Gongxu, she was afraid that it would spread out and affect Zhi Ning's reputation, so it would be difficult for Zhi Ning to raise her head and be a man in the future.
"Zhining's matter, I will find a way to solve it, the prince doesn't have to worry, just give me a few days." Mu Wanqing made up her mind that she could still ask the Queen Mother to administer justice, but she didn't believe that she had no choice.
Huo Chen's face was a little pale, and he couldn't help but increase his strength, for fear that she would disappear.
"You don't trust me anymore." Huo Chen's voice was soft, and there seemed to be something missing in his heart, making him feel difficult to breathe.
Mu Wanqing's forehead was sweating slightly, she glanced at Huo Chen, but still didn't speak.
"You and I are your husband, and you don't even consult me about this? You know medical skills, you won't be able to cure Zhining's flesh wounds, this matter is definitely not simple, even if you are given a few days? What can you do? Huo Chen looked at Mu Wanqing's expression and knew that this was definitely not simple.
Huo Chen said a word, and she was not sure that she could help Zhi Ning.
She looked back at Zhi Ning's room, then pushed Huo Chen to the dark, and whispered: "I only found out about this matter yesterday, and the prince must keep it a secret." ”
"What matters so much?" Huo Chen couldn't laugh or cry.
But Mu Wanqing looked serious and said: "In the prison of Zhi Ning's Criminal Department, he was humiliated, this is not a big deal for the prince, but for Zhi Ning, this is a big deal. ”
Huo Chen was shocked, he couldn't imagine that what Mu Wanqing had been unwilling to say would be like this!
He could not fail to understand how important chastity is to a woman!
"The people in the criminal department won't be so bold, is there a misunderstanding?" Huo Chen said in a deep voice, with his understanding of the Criminal Department, although those people were ruthless and used capital torture to extract confessions, they would never do such a thing.
"Zhi Ningxian is very afraid of the man getting close, and when she saw Ajin the day before yesterday, she knew that I was going to make decisions for her, so she couldn't stand the stimulation all of a sudden." The more Mu Wanqing spoke, the more sad she became, "It's not one person who did this, but several people, Lord Wang, I definitely can't give up on this matter." ”
Huo Chen suddenly had a headache, his thin lips pursed slightly, and said, "Qing'er, this matter interferes with officialdom, you are a woman, you will definitely not be able to manage it." ”
"Do you want to let Zhining live in the shadows for the rest of her life? Sometimes people live just for a breath, and if they can't even fight for this breath, then what are they doing as a human being? Mu Wanqing said, but her heart was tormented, if this was a society ruled by law, then she would at least have a chance to fight for Zhi Ning.
However, this is a feudal society, and the status of women has always been low.
"Don't be in such a hurry." Huo Chen sighed, "It's not that there is no way, as long as you know which people it is, just solve them quietly, if this matter is big, it will not be good for Zhining, what do you think?" ”
Mu Wanqing's eyes widened; "Isn't this an abuse of lynching?!"
Huo Chen glanced at her angrily and said earnestly; "What if lynching is abused? As officials, which of them are not corrupt and pervert the law, and when the father found out, they all sent people to assassinate, why didn't they arrest and interrogate them? It was because there was too little evidence that they were afraid of startling the snake, so that those corrupt officials had already prepared. Sometimes, it's unavoidable, don't you understand? ”
Mu Wanqing looked up at Huo Chen, only to feel that his eyebrows were very warm, and there was no sense of joking.
She didn't understand that here, she had to follow the rules of survival here.
"That's good, but I want Zhining to be there." Mu Wanqing's clear eyes flashed with a sharp light. ~
