Chapter 372: The National Teacher and the Shrine Maiden Have a Conflict
In recent days, there has been a small conflict between the national teacher and the shrine maiden.
At first, Yun Qing thought that it was because of the things he coaxed Nangong Ci to work, but he felt that no matter how bad the national teacher was, he didn't have such a small heart.
After secretly inquiring, I learned that there were two reasons why the two were unhappy, one was because of the fourth prince, that is, the man Yun Qing had seen in the mountains before.
Everyone in Liangyue Country knows that the fourth prince is interested in witches, and has always used some gadgets to please her over the years. If it weren't for the sleek nature of the fourth prince, and then he tried to please the old king, he was afraid that the end would be similar to the third prince.
Such an infatuated man, thinking about his fiancΓ©e, who is this, I am afraid that there will be a pimple in his heart.
No matter how powerful Nangong Ci is, he doesn't dare to offend the fourth prince too much after all. That's why I've been coping with it. I have never sinned against the four highnesses.
In this regard, the national teacher has been turning a blind eye, after all, he has no witch in his heart. If the shrine maiden was going to marry someone else one day, it didn't matter to him. Or even a relief.
But recently, the fourth prince suddenly found an extremely rare herb needed to practice poison. And said with Nangong: "Give Gu Hug, and this herb will be given to you." β
Originally, Nangong Ci was hesitant, but thinking that it would take decades or even hundreds of years for that grass to find one, which was very important for a person like her who was obsessed with refining poison, she reluctantly let the fourth prince hug her.
hugged it, the fourth prince actually took the opportunity to peck her on the lips, and was looked at by many people. And the news spread.
If this kind of thing is changed to other men, I am afraid that it is possible to withdraw from the family directly.
After all, the national teacher is the nominal husband of the shrine maiden, and it is even more difficult to understand her behavior.
But after all, he just said a few cold words, and he didn't argue about anything. After all, he married her to repay his kindness, and nothing else.
But because of this incident, there is an extra layer of estrangement between the two.
But she didn't see the witch regret it, the national teacher was dissatisfied, she took some trouble to make him show his face, that is, if the herb was missed, it would be difficult to find the second one.
The second thing is because of the matter of the second prince, who recently claimed that the elixir of life can be refined with a human heart in order to please the king.
When the national teacher learned about it, he could not continue to serve him, and the witch disagreed with him. Naturally, an argument ensued.
The national teacher said: "I can understand the purpose of the second prince in the past, so I will turn a blind eye to assist him and do some evil things, and now he wants to dig people's hearts into medicine, which is too much!"
Nangong was puzzled and said: "What do you care about all this? Those poor people won't starve to death one day? Where can you manage it? After the Second Highness succeeds to the throne, all this will change, what is the death of a few people now? When will no one die?"
"But he doesn't have to be like this!!You are proficient in poison, and you know better than me that the elixir of life is something that coaxes people! Since it is to make the king happy, what to use as medicine is different, why does he have to be like this......
"It's just a few people!"
"How many? Didn't you say ninety-nine?"
"So what? What is the difference between one dead and a hundred?" the shrine maiden did not understand why he, a man who had been killed for a long time, was so soft-hearted now.
She didn't understand him. The national teacher will only kill people for the sake of the overall situation, and he is indeed merciful to these powerless little people.
"If you really like to kill people, why don't you go to those who are traitorous and evil?
"The second prince's heart is a little different from a normal person, he was miserable in his childhood, and the eldest prince was alive in the early years, what kind of bullying him into, to put it mildly, the second highness is not a normal person, he loves to kill and poke, and you don't know this kind of thing, how can there be so many traitorous and evil people to kill him?
The national teacher didn't know why, obviously he didn't have half a memory, but subconsciously he couldn't accept this kind of careless behavior.
"How can such a person be worthy of being a monarch? Even if he inherits the throne one day, he will be able to repay it by killing the people for fun? If you are willing, it is good to assist him yourself, I have no intention of continuing to help the abuse." β
Nangong Ci couldn't help but be a little irritated when he heard this: "You just think it's for me, you forgot that I saved your life?" You are my man, isn't it good for the two of us to assist one together?"
The national teacher's eyebrows frowned slightly, he was relieved of her drugging herself because of this life-saving grace, even though he had always been dissatisfied with the behavior of the second prince, followed him loyally, and even agreed to marry her, is Nangong Ci ready to talk about this for the rest of his life?
"The national teacher is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, but some things cannot be compromised, and he just said: Witch, if you want this life, just take it back. Maybe you didn't have to save me in the first place. β
Nangong words: "......"
He wasn't afraid of death, and he didn't want to continue to do anything against his heart and listen to her. Returning the favor is not such a way to repay the favor.
The witch is obviously not lightly pedantic by him, she has been used to poison since she was a child, and her subordinates often catch some to test poison for her, and there are also things that dig people's hearts into medicine, she doesn't think there is anything in this, although this prescription is fake, it is important to make the king happy!
She had never said these things to the national teacher, and now she couldn't help but expose her thoughts.
A trace of disgust flashed in the man's eyes, and this time Nangong Ci did not continue to be angry with him, and turned around and left with a cold face.
In the next few days, the two did not meet, and the national teacher never came to Nangong Mansion.
The national teacher doesn't have her in his heart, so it naturally doesn't matter if he sees her or not. After a few days, Nangong Ci couldn't sit still.
Yun Qing vaguely smelled that something was wrong, because Nangong Ci hadn't asked her to learn how to please the national teacher in the past few days, but she hadn't asked more.
What kind of contradiction between the two people is, she is not interested in these things, and the witch will help her if she asks for help, and she will just come to her.
After a few days, the shrine maiden finally found her again.
I haven't seen her for a few days, and the witch's whole body has lost weight, and she is not as energetic as before, which is enough to see how important the national teacher is to her.
"Xiaoyun, you help me go to the National Teacher's Mansion. β
Yunqing: "Why me?"
"I'm more at ease when you do things, so you can go to the same national teacher and say, I have persuaded His Royal Highness that you don't need people's hearts to make medicine. She finally relented.
Yunqing: "......"
It is not easy for such a woman to take the initiative to be soft. But I want her to say it......
"Don't worry, I will tell the National Teacher that you have him in mind. β
Nangong didn't answer, she knew that Yun Qing was smart, so she didn't need to say anything.
When Yun Qing went to the National Teacher's Mansion, he actually had some refusals in his heart. Since that kind of incident happened last time, she really didn't have a good impression of this National Teachers Committee.
However, I was entrusted by others, so I could only bite the bullet.
When the national teacher learned that she was coming, the bottom of his heart, which had always been calm, rippled slightly, and immediately asked his subordinates to invite her in.
"The shrine maiden asked you to come?"
"Yes, the shrine maiden said that she has convinced the Second Highness that she will not use people's hearts as medicine. β
"I see. β
"Then, do you want to go back to Nangong Mansion with me?"
"Nope. β
Yun Qing frowned slightly and said, "The witch has already taken the lead in bowing her head, why should the lord be like this?"
The national teacher was not ready to deal with her, but he glanced at her with some puzzlement: "How am I?"
"The shrine maiden wants to see you......"
"Then I bother you to bring a word, I will not be with the second prince again in the future, it has nothing to do with this incident. He's figured it out these days.
If Yun Qing goes back like this, the witch will definitely not be happy.
He simply said: "Master Guoshi, I don't understand the affairs of you big people, but I also understand the truth of Entubao, with all due respect, you just need to do your due responsibility......"
"Did the shrine maiden tell you that?"
"It's not. β
The national teacher was not ready to pay attention to her, but the appearance of this woman made him abnormal, and he instinctively wanted to avoid it after sobering up.
Seeing her say this, I was a little disappointed in my heart. Got up and walked in front of her.
"Do you really think so? Even if the Lord is a cruel and unkind man, and he regards human life as a mustard, should he continue to follow?"
Yun Qingdao said: "Naturally, it shouldn't, but you should also see if you have the ability to change." In this situation, what can you change if you follow or not? If you do, maybe you can ......."
Yun Qing said and spoke, but she couldn't say it, because the national teacher was getting closer and closer to her.
"National Teacher ......"
"You are very smart, and what you say is not unreasonable, but if you knew the second prince's character, you would not be talking nonsense here. β
The second prince doesn't know what he experienced in his childhood, in short, he has lived a very hard time, after all these years, his heart is a little distorted, he kills, just because he likes to kill people in his heart.
It's more contradictory to say, the second prince has the talent of an emperor and has the heart to change the current status quo of Liangyue Kingdom, if he ascends the throne, he must be a monarch who makes a difference, and he must be a brutal monarch. This kind of distortion in my heart has been going on for many years, and the national teacher doesn't think that he can change it.
Yun Qing didn't answer, she really didn't know what the second prince was, if she argued with the national teacher here, she didn't have enough confidence in her heart.
"I have also heard a saying that a good bird chooses a tree to perch, since you can't change anything, it is better to follow the second prince...... Reflect your value...... At least, there's no need to go against the shrine maidens. Yun Qing stepped back as he spoke, and couldn't help but remind: "You don't have to get closer, it's really unseemly!"
