Chapter 51 Marriage Contract
After listening carefully for a while, Yue Qingning felt that there was nothing unusual, and her heart rate was no different from that of ordinary people.
But Nangong Yu's face was very painful, and it didn't look like a fake at all.
"Doesn't the girl see anything?" Nangong Yu smiled helplessly, the pain gradually eased, and his face was not so bad.
"What is unusual about Your Highness in prison?"
Nangong Yu thought about it carefully, although he was imprisoned, he was not embarrassed because he was the son of the queen.
Yue Qingning looked Nangong Yu up and down carefully, feeling that something was a little strange, and thought about it for a long time before he came up with it.
"Your Highness, have you been so white since you were a child?"
Just now in the sun, Yue Qingning thought that it was because of the sunlight that Nangong Ming had become so white, but now in the pavilion, Nangong Yu was still very white, a little whiter than her.
Nangong Yu looked at himself and disagreed: "No, maybe I stayed in prison for a long time and didn't get in the sun, so I covered it whiter." ”
Yue Qingning didn't think so, she took out a homemade glass bottle from her sleeve, removed a silver hairpin from her head, and pierced Nangong Yu's finger, and blood flowed down her finger into the glass bottle.
Nangong Yu was puzzled: "What is the girl doing?" ”
"Your Highness, I suspect that you have been poisoned by the moon, but I can't confirm it for the time being, you need to go back and test your blood."
Moon poison is a hidden poison, the poison gathers in the heart, the poisoned person will produce symptoms of angina, and the body will also be white because the blood is eroded by the poison.
Judging from the symptoms on Nangong Yu's body, it is that he has been poisoned, but he needs to take the blood and some drugs to react to it before it can be finally confirmed.
Nangong Yu's eyes were full of surprise, and he turned to look at his pricked finger faintly, his face gloomy.
"Your Highness, don't startle the snake, this poison is extremely rare, it can be seen that the person who poisons is not simple. Take this handkerchief, stop the bleeding first. ”
Yue Qingning carefully wrapped her fingers around Nangong Yu with her own handkerchief to stop the bleeding, and Nangong Yu arched her hand and thanked Yue Qingning.
"I hope the princess will keep this matter a secret, and the palace doesn't want the queen mother to know, so she will worry about me anymore."
Yue Qingning was moved by Nangong Yu's filial piety and nodded solemnly.
Not far away, a group of people walked into the imperial garden, and the queen mother and Yuan Ruge walked in front.
"Queen Mother, look how beautiful the flowers are blooming this year!" Yuan Ruge laughed like a child in front of the Queen Mother, pointing to the flowers that he thought looked good to the Queen Mother, which made the Queen Mother laugh.
Suddenly, I saw Yue Qingning and the prince sitting in the pavilion, and the two were still sitting next to each other, very intimate.
Yuan Ruge suddenly became angry, just because Yue Qingning, that wild girl, was also worthy of entering the palace, did she come to this back garden?
"Queen Mother, look there!"
The Queen Mother looked at Yuan Ruge's fingers and saw the prince and Yue Qing condensing together, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"How did she get into the palace?"
Yuan Ruge said angrily: "I guess I'm looking for some excuse to enter the palace to climb the relationship, this woman is pestering the wild king and the third highness, and now she is still seducing the prince!" Queen Mother, you see how close they are! ”
The Queen Mother has not looked down on Yue Qingning since the last Yuan Ruge's birthday banquet, and now she snorted coldly when she saw it: "The prince is also something she can cling to casually?" ”
The group walked towards the pavilion, Nangong Yu and Yue Qingning had just finished talking about the moon poison, and when they saw Yuan Ruge coming over with the Queen Mother, Yue Qingning began to have a headache.
Why have I always met her recently, I hope that the queen mother and the prince are here today, Yuan Ruge should not go too far.
"Isn't this Miss Yue? Why did you enter the palace today? The Queen Mother walked into the pavilion, and the prince and Yue Qingning had to retreat to the pavilion and stand with their heads bowed under the sun.
The crown prince took a step forward in front of Yue Qingning and replied for her: "Today, my mother felt bored, so she invited Mrs. Zhang and Miss Yue into the palace to talk to her to relieve her boredom. ”
The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth showed a sneer: "Since you are accompanying the queen, why did you come to this imperial garden with the prince?" ”
"Back to the emperor's grandmother......" Before the prince could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the queen mother: "The mourning family is asking Miss Yue, is Miss Yue dumb to speak?" Do you want the prince to speak for you? ”
It seems that the queen mother is also not good, Yue Qingning secretly sighed in her heart that her life is not good, and she replied respectfully with her head down: "The queen mother said that the begonia flowers in the imperial garden this year are particularly beautiful, and I want to come to the courtiers to see them outside the palace, so I asked the prince to take the courtiers to take a look." ”
"But where were you two looking at begonia flowers just now!" Yuan Ruge sneered, and looked at Yue Qingning's eyes with more and more disdain.
Nangong Yu took advantage of thousands of efforts to support the Queen Mother, and gave a look to his personal attendant, who understood and left quietly.
"Imperial grandmother, the sun is too hot, and my grandson can't bear to let Miss Yue be exposed to the sun, so I let her go into the pavilion to rest."
As he spoke, the handkerchief that Yue Qingning had bandaged Nangong Yu just now fell to the ground.
Yuan Ruge saw it, picked it up and handed it to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother saw that the handkerchief was embroidered with delicate embroidery, looked at the prince, and then looked at Yue Qingning.
"Why is there a woman's personal handkerchief on the prince's body, and there are blood stains on it?"
She pressed the prince, motioned him not to reply, turned her face and asked Yue Qingning: "Miss Yue, is this veil yours?" ”
"It's a courtier's." Yue Qingning admitted calmly that she didn't do anything wrong this time, so she was naturally not afraid of the Queen Mother's inexplicable appearance of the master asking for guilt.
"Why did Miss Yue's personal belongings fall from the prince's body?" The Queen Mother was aggressive, and her eyes were carved like knives on her slightly older face.
She has been up and down in the deep palace for decades, and she has seen too many people who want to climb high positions, and Yue Qingning is such a person in her eyes.
Nangong Yu wanted to open his mouth to explain for Yue Qingning, but was forced back by a sharp look from the Queen Mother.
"Isn't it really like the song said, Miss Yue is proud of her outstanding appearance, so she flirts in many ways, saying that she wants to serve the wild king for a lifetime, and on the other hand, she teases and seduces the prince, and even the prince!"
Like the sound of thunder, the subordinates present knelt down one after another when they saw the queen mother's anger, fearing that the anger would implicate themselves.
Yue Qingning did not kneel, and even raised her head calmly and met the eyes of the Queen Mother.
Yuan Ruge saw that she was not afraid at all, and when she was fearless and didn't understand the rules, she scolded sharply: "Yue Qingning, you still don't understand the rules, you dare to look directly at the Queen Mother!" ”
"Because the courtiers want the queen mother to see clearly, whether I have spoken or have a weak heart." She looked calm, without the slightest fluster.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accidentally punctured his finger when he was appreciating the flowers, and the courtiers knew a little about medicine, so they bandaged His Royal Highness with their own handkerchief, and they didn't have the mind that the Queen Mother said."
Her tone was even smiling, as if she was mocking the Queen Mother and Yuan Ruge's imagination was too good.
"Do you take us all for fools? His Royal Highness is injured, and there will be palace maids and eunuchs to invite the imperial doctor to bandage him, where do you need to bother Miss Yue? Yuan Ruge's voice became louder and louder, and her tone became more and more unpolite, and half of the imperial garden could hear her mean words.
Nangong Yu couldn't stand it anymore, his face became more and more ugly, and he roared: "Enough!" ”
Yuan Ruge was stunned for a moment, and was a little frightened: "His Royal Highness the Prince......"
Nangong Yu stretched out his finger, and the wound that had just been punctured by the silver hairpin had stopped bleeding at this time, and it was almost invisible.
"Princess Ruge, do you think this wound needs to be bandaged by the imperial doctor? Miss Yue is a doctor, and she simply bandages the palace with her own handkerchief, but in the eyes of the princess, it is so unbearable? ”
Yuan Ruge was blushing by Nangong Yu's words, and immediately didn't know how to respond, so he could only redden, and said aggrievedly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know, she is used to seducing men, and last time I was at my birthday banquet, I ...... at my birthday banquet."
"Princess, the events of that day have spread in the capital, and of course this palace also knows. It's just that this palace only thinks that Miss Yue is grateful, as for the third emperor brother, does the princess think that he is a person who can be easily seduced? ”
Nangong Ming is the prince of the Central Plains, Yuan Ruge is just a princess of the country, if it weren't for the love of the queen mother, Nangong Ming would have endured her again and again.
Now that he is serious, Yuan Ruge also knows in his heart that he has made Nangong Ming unhappy, and he doesn't dare to speak anymore, but he is not willing to let Yue Qingning be maintained like this, so he can only look at the Queen Mother, hoping that she can be angry for her.
The Queen Mother looked at Nangong Ming and said coldly: "Ming'er's words, are you also taught a lesson together with the mourning family?" ”
"Grandchildren don't dare." Nangong Ming replied respectfully.
"You can bluff like a song, you can't bluff the mourning family, Ming'er, don't forget, you still have a crown princess who has not passed through the door, if you let the Prime Minister's Mansion know that you are intimate with the woman next to you, what should you think?"
As early as when Nangong Ming was canonized as the crown prince, the emperor promised him a marriage contract with Liu Wanwan, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when Liu Wanwan and Lu were married, the two would be married.
Yue Qingning was a little surprised, Nangong Ming was younger than his brothers, and he already had a marriage contract.
Nangong Ming was also stunned, his expression was unknown and his emotions were difficult to distinguish, and he said in a deep voice for a long time: "Sun Er knows that the imperial grandmother has misunderstood." ”
"Hmph, it's good that you know."
At this time, the queen mother led Mrs. Zhang Shanshan to come, and seeing that the atmosphere here was gloomy, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Seeing the queen mother, I don't know what mistake Ming'er made to make the queen mother so angry?"
In fact, Nangong Ming's chamberlain had already told the queen what had happened, but the queen mother couldn't see that it was Nangong Ming who called her.
"The queen came just in time, Miss Yue is now in the capital, she is the sister of His Royal Highness Yewang, and she is also an official, but she doesn't know the rules very well, the queen, as the mother of the country, has the responsibility to teach the officials and relatives, so let Miss Yue stay in the palace and learn the rules well!"
Yue Qingning listened to them one by one, anxious. The business in the store has just improved, and there are many things to be busy, so it will be a delay if you stay in the palace.
The queen mother sincerely didn't want to go with herself, saying that she was letting her stay here to learn the rules, but in fact, she was finding fault with herself in disguise.
Seeing Yuan Ruge's smug face, Yue Qingning regretted that she shouldn't have gone out today.
was about to argue, but was quietly pulled by Mrs. Zhang.
"Yes, all the queen mother."
The queen should go, and the queen mother led Yuan Ruge away.
"Queen Mother, the courtiers really didn't seduce His Royal Highness the Prince."
