Qu Mei was silent for a long time before continuing: "That night, he sent the guests back to see me, and we were relatively silent. Later, he asked the maidservant to take me back, and I saluted and left. ”

"Didn't say anything else?" Bai Li asked.

"No, and I can't remember what else to say." Qu Mei sighed: "After that night, a few days later, I heard the news that he had married the lord of Anping County. My mother was afraid that I would be sad and sad when I knew, and she was always with me in those days. But I know in my heart that even if I can't let go of this person, I have to learn to let go. He became a relative, he was someone else's husband, a person who couldn't even think about it anymore. ”

"How, then, did you get involved with his son?"

"The lord of Anping has won the new love of the emperor and the queen's mother, and Ning Hou is a new upstart of the royal family, and the wedding of the two of them is infinite. It is said that many people poured into the streets that day to get a taste of their joy, and even my father and mother were invited to the feast. But I locked myself up and ordered the people around me not to tell me anything about him. But what I never expected was that he actually came to me that night. ”

"The newlyweds are happy, the cave room is full of candles, but the groom official ran to Shangshu Mansion to find you? What does he want to do? ”

"yes, what does he want to do? He married someone else, and secretly came to Shangshu Mansion to see what I was doing. When he barged in, I was stunned and thought I was dreaming. He closed the door with his backhand, and without saying a word, he came over and hugged me. From him, I smelled two kinds of smells, one was the slight coolness of the night, and the other was the sweet aroma of the wine. I didn't speak, I was just held by him, and I stood stunned. ”

"What's the matter with this Ning Hou, he has become someone else's husband, what are you going to do with you? Didn't he know that he would ruin your reputation by doing so? Bai Li was indignant.

"He hugged me for a long time before telling me that he was afraid he would never be able to see me again. I burst into tears and pushed him away. I asked him what he meant exactly? Is he doing this now, does he have me in his heart, or does he not have me in his heart? What am I, what am I in his Ning Hou's heart! ”

"Good question!" Bai Li nodded.

"He looked at me with a pained look in his eyes, as if he was trying to hold back something."

"He's in pain? How hard did he endure? He never said he liked you from beginning to end, what did he endure? Bai Li snorted lightly: "What I hate the most is this kind of grinding man, when you express your heart to him, he is this and that, in short, there are thousands of reasons to tell you, you are not suitable, you can't be together." When you want to let go of him, he comes running to tease you, and it's the kind of flirting that you don't have to be responsible for. ”

"Li'er, have you ever met this kind of man before?" Bai Ze asked uneasily, and even Old Man Tao paid attention to Bai Li.

"Nope! I really met it, and I fanned it with a big-eared melon seed. What are their feelings for us women? Take it if you want, throw it away if you want to, pick it up when you want to? ”

"Li'er, I swear, I promise, I'm never such a man." Bai Ze raised his hand, but Bai Li didn't look at him at all.

"Qu Mei, what about you, did you beat him?"

Qu Mei shook her head lightly: "I didn't, I just asked him to leave and told him that at this time, he shouldn't appear in Shangshu Mansion." ”

"And then? You just let him go? ”

"Otherwise, he is already the husband of the county lord of Anping, if I don't ask him to leave, do you want to keep him?" Qu Mei said, there was a ripple in her eyes, "Later, I heard from the people of Ninghou Mansion that he drank a lot of wine that night and never went to the room of the county lord of Anping. I've also heard that he kept calling my name when he was drunk. Who is the county lord of Anping, she has been deeply favored by the emperor and the queen since she was a child, and her temperament is more domineering than that of ordinary county lords. My name was like a knife pierced in her heart, and she sent people around to look for me, and finally learned that I was Qu Shangshu's daughter. ”

"This Anping County Lord won't be difficult for you, right?"

"No, she is a dignified county lord, how can she be embarrassed for me because of these things. She bought off the maid next to me, poisoned me, and deliberately told Ning Hou about it. She forced Ning Hou to bow to him, and promised that as long as she had Ning Hou's child, she would let me go. ”

"So, this Ning Lang is ......"

Qu Mei glanced at Ning Lang and nodded lightly: "He is also a poor child." The county lord of Anping used me to threaten Ning Hou and forced Ning Hou to agree to her conditions, and she got her wish with Ning Lang, but she didn't know that she, like me, was in the calculations of others. Not long after Ning Lang was born, her father was arrested on the grounds of rebellion and misdeeds. As Princess Ning, she did not escape the catastrophe. ”

"Did Qu Shangshu do it?"

"No, my dad doesn't have that much ability, it's Ning Hou, it's Ning Hou and my father who did it together. I only knew at that time that Ning Hou was originally with my father, but one of them was in the light and the other was in the dark. On the night I went to Ninghou's Mansion, it was the father of the county lord of Anping who was talking to Ninghou in the room. Ning Hou and my father's original plan was that Ning Hou pretended to show favor to King Anping, and even willingly married his Anping Mansion and married the county lord of Anping, in order to make the other party feel at ease, poison my father, and even my father's fake death, the destruction of our Shangshu Mansion was arranged, but I didn't expect that the county lord of Anping would do it to me first because of jealousy. The plan was changed on the fly, but it did not change the final result. ”

"It's complicated!" Bai Li felt that her brain hurt.

"I also think it's so complicated, my father, Ninghou, Shangshu Mansion, Ninghou Mansion, and even me, in the final analysis, are just chess pieces in the hands of the emperor. When I learned the truth, I only felt sad. I can't believe that the county lord of Anping, who is so loved by the emperor and the queen's mother, was actually killed by their design. It is said that the royal family is cold-blooded and thin-blooded, and at that time, I knew how cold the royal blood was and how thin the love was. ”

"The county lord of Anping is dead, so can you be with Ning Hou?"

"Yes! The Anping Mansion is gone, and the county lord of Anping is also dead. Ning Hou and my father seem to have become celebrities in front of the emperor, and I seem to be able to be with Ning Hou and live a carefree and happy life from now on. But it turns out that in the emperor's heart, no one can be trusted. Can you imagine? The poison given to me by the county lord of Anping was given to her by the queen's mother. There is no antidote to that poison. All I could have was a short, momentary moment of happiness. But even so, the emperor and the queen mother are still deceiving Ning Hou, tricking him into going to war, tricking him into doing things he doesn't want to do, and even using my life to threaten my father. I was like a bait, stumbling my father and Ning Hou at the same time, and stumbling Shang Shu Mansion and Ning Hou Mansion. ”

"This emperor is too insidious!" Bai Li involuntarily clenched his fists.
