Chapter 292: To add insult to injury
The guard breathed a sigh of relief and continued to say to the second prince: "Your Highness, calm down, the eldest princess of Chaoyang urged you to explain to her the reason for taking Nan Qichen away yesterday. If you really kill Nan Qichen, the eldest princess of Chaoyang may be furious. ”
"She'll make her fire!" The second prince roared. Although he replied like this, his hand did not go to Nan Qichen's side again.
Yes, he was the son of his father, but his father was more than his son. He is the nephew of his aunt, the eldest princess of Chaoyang, and his aunt has more than one nephew.
It wasn't until night that Nan Qichen woke up again.
He found himself lying on the edge of his bed, the candle flame flickering in the room. There was a man sitting on the edge of the bed.
The man had his back to him, his forehead propped up, and he had fallen asleep.
Is it an older brother?
No, it's the second prince!
Nan Qichen sat up suddenly, grabbed the pillow under his head and wanted to smash the second prince, but was restrained by the secret guard beside the other party.
His movements naturally woke up the second prince.
Seeing Nan Qichen's unwillingness, the second prince laughed happily. He approached Nan Qichen, who was restrained, and asked the other party in a low voice: "Nan Qichen, guess what, why am I guarding you here?" ”
"Because I have good news to tell you that I can't wait." The second prince suddenly straightened up and left Nan Qichen at a distance.
"Su Zhaoning begged a few families today, do you know?" The second prince stretched out his pampered hands, and pointed out one by one, "Gu Zhongshuling, Chen Shangshu, Commander Yuan, and Deng Yushi, she has all looked for them." ”
Except for Gu Lang, the rest of the officials, Nan Qichen all knew each other. These people have a good relationship with his father. Apparently, it was her grandmother who asked Su Zhaoning to find it.
However, the second prince is so calm now, and the result is self-evident.
"Nan Qichen, Su Zhaoning didn't rest at noon, and went directly to ask Mrs. Lin, Zhou Shilang and Deputy Lieutenant Xu." The second prince knocked on the table, and a maid immediately came in outside the door to serve the meal.
However, this meal, the second prince is not ready to give it to Nan Qichen again.
He felt that Nan Qichen was looking at him, and he felt a little irrepressible happiness in his heart. And this jelly, more and more later.
"Nan Qichen, you must be very curious, how can Su Zhaoning go to so many people's homes in one day, right?" The second prince took a chopstick dish and put it between his nose and sniffed it, making a look of enjoying it very much, "Because these people before noon, except for Gu Lang, no one else let her in." ”
"As for the afternoon, Mrs. Lin, she didn't stay for a stick of incense. Deputy Lieutenant Xu is a little longer, but a fifth-grade infantry lieutenant, who cares. ”
The second prince put the dish in his mouth and deliberately made a look of eating with relish.
The fragrance of the dish did penetrate Nan Qichen's nose. He knew that the second prince just wanted to make him uncomfortable.
After tasting the taste of hunger strike, the stimulation of this food was indeed even more unbearable for Nan Qichen.
He forced himself not to look away, looking at the table where the second prince was eating.
This irrepressible thirst for the gaze made the second prince enjoy it very much.
Nan Qichen said: "Make soup with your hands, and give your lover with your heart." I can't see that the side concubine of the Second Highness has good hands. If you want to come to the first princess under Jiuquan, you must be very pleased. After all, a new generation replaces the old, and she should be left behind by Your Highness. ”
These words are not insulting the first princess, but they are enough to make the second prince lose his appetite.
Because of this table of dishes, there is indeed the craftsmanship of the new concubine in it.
This kind of impatient invitation made the second prince feel disgusted.
He put down the chopsticks heavily, and he didn't want to take a second look at the dishes: "I'll withdraw them." ”
After the table became empty again, the second prince looked at Nan Qichen and asked, "You should be in a good mood now, right?" ”
"Shall we discuss a question?" The second prince spoke softly, as if he really had a deep friendship with Nan Qichen.
He asked: "You say, do I help you Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to hint at the courtiers or open the door to see Su Zhaoning, or directly hint at Su Zhaoning?" ”
As soon as Nan Qichen heard this, he knew that the other party had no good ideas. He stared at the other with wide eyes.
This kind of response made the second prince very happy. It's like a dog that has been trampled on the ground, if it can't even howl, who wants to step on it?
"I originally thought that if these people were allowed to open the door to receive gifts, according to your family background in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, it should not be difficult to last for ten days and half a month. After all, that big house is worth a little silver, isn't it? The second prince suddenly bit the knuckle of his index finger and asked, "Nan Qichen, am I right?" Can it last for 10 days? ”
"You're so vicious." Nan Qichen replied angrily.
He quickly understood again, knowing that the second prince just wanted to see his angry appearance. He won't let the second prince get his way.
Nan Qichen took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said, "The tea and light rice are also very good." I don't know what it's like to wear linen clothes. ”
"I almost forgot that Su Zhaoning is a skilled person." The second prince was a little unhappy that Nan Qichen controlled his emotions so quickly, but he quickly thought of something more interesting, "Su Zhaoning's women's skills are praised by the queen mother. At that time, if a lady hints that she likes her craft, I think she will rush to make it day and night, right? ”
"How many things does the embroidery girl in our palace embroider a day? It should take a few days to embroider the same. The second prince stood up, took two quick steps, approached Nan Qichen again, leaned over and said, "Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis stays up all night doing embroidery every day, what do you think?" ”
The faces of the two princes were all in front of him, and Nan Qichen couldn't say a word.
He opened his mouth and was about to spit on the second prince, but he was slapped into the corner by the secret guard who had already appeared.
"Look at you're excited. What is this? The second prince sighed for a few words, and then looked at his hand.
His left hand touched the back of his right hand, and said meaningfully: "You don't like this method, let's just change it." If Su Zhaoning asks for this prince, this prince will definitely be soft-hearted. ”
"After all, such a delicate woman." The second prince looked at Nan Qichen triumphantly, and said happily, "This prince doesn't feel sorry for you, but he also feels sorry for her." You are her husband's only brother, and she will definitely do anything for you. ”
"When the time comes, serve tea and pour water to accompany the bed, everything has a chance to make the prince soft-hearted." The second prince saw Nan Qichen's eyes gradually full of anger as he wished.
This kind of torture made the second prince feel that it was enough.
Although Nan Qichen has thought through a lot of things, he is a thirteen-year-old child after all.
Compared with the second prince, who has been immersed in intrigue for decades, Nan Qichen is still too simple after all.
The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, although she does not admit it verbally, but in her heart, Nan Qichen has already recognized Su Zhaoning's status.
Hearing the second prince humiliate Su Zhaoning so bluntly and explicitly, Nan Qichen couldn't hold it back anymore. He got up directly from the ground, grabbed the candlestick next to him, and was about to smash it at the second prince: "I'm going to kill you!" ”
The skills of the dark guards are naturally much higher than those of the guards.
Just raised his foot and kicked, Nan Qichen's wrist made a crisp sound, and the candlestick fell to the ground.
The pain of broken bones made Nan Qichen's forehead quickly ooze sweat.
But the pain can't suppress the anger. His eyes were almost full of tears: "Second prince, you will get retribution!" ”
"Whether this prince will get retribution depends on how much Mrs. Hou can scream in the prince's bed." The second prince replied with a smile.
As he wished, he saw Nan Qichen rushing at him again, but this time, the second prince didn't even stop and give Nan Qichen a look.
He turned around and prepared to leave.
Today, I have played to my heart's content. For the rest, play again tomorrow.
The sound of Nan Qichen vomiting blood came from behind the second prince.
Then, there was another bone thud. The dark guard simply broke Nan Qichen's ankle bone.
This painful sound made the second prince feel comfortable. The displeasure of going to the eldest princess of Chaoyang to train before was temporarily forgotten.
At the gate of the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, Su Zhaoning hugged Nan Minxing and got off the sedan chair tiredly.
She traveled all day and returned in vain.
What she didn't know at the moment was that there was an old lady Wu in the mansion who had been in a coma twice and was already in extremely poor health waiting for her to take care of her.
A maid who was delusional and tried to escape after being punished, and also stabbed Mama Xu with a hairpin, is waiting for her to deal with it.
Disorderly.
Rotten.
It is now the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
"The old lady's body can't be stimulated anymore. If I faint again, I am afraid that I will have a stroke. Doctor Liu whispered to Su Zhaoning outside the door.
Su Zhaoning asked, "Can taking medicine alleviate this possibility?" ”
Doctor Liu shook his head and replied: "After all, the old lady in the house is old, and after such repeated stimulation, it has already hurt the roots. ”
"The only thing I can do now is to take care of it. And keep it quiet. Doctor Liu advised.
Su Zhaoning thanked Dr. Liu and said, "There is Dr. Liu." Old lady, please come over every day to check the situation. ”
When Dr. Liu heard this, he stopped talking.
Su Zhaoning saw the clue and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Dr. Liu?" ”
"The old man is actually old, and he wants to resign and go back to his hometown." Dr. Liu said.
Su Zhaoning smiled bitterly and replied, "Since Doctor Liu has the intention of leaving, it is not good for me to stay." I will tell the steward to settle you for an extra month's worth of silver. ”
"The old lady is not in a good situation now, and Second Master Nan doesn't know when he will come back. Why don't I try my best to condition the old lady before leaving. "Doctor Liu originally thought that Su Zhaoning would not let himself go easily. After all, in today's Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, there are probably more places that need doctors. His departure undoubtedly made the other party worse.
Su Zhaoning was so refreshing, but Dr. Liu was a little embarrassed.
But Su Zhaoning did not accept his kindness: "The New Year is coming soon." Dr. Liu is in a hurry to set off, and maybe he can have a good year in his hometown. ”
Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis is powerful, Dr. Liu has seen it with his own eyes. This thoughtfulness made him a little worried that the other party was retreating.
