Ning Xi turned his head sideways, and in the afterglow, he saw Qin Yuan stun the crazy horse with one palm, and picked her up and dismounted before the horse fell to the ground.

The crowd outside the polo field exclaimed, "Oh my God, the county lord has been saved!" ”

Guo Zhi's smug smile that had not yet been leaked outside the arena suddenly froze on her lips, and now that the county lord of Pingyang learned that she subconsciously looked at Qin Rui.

Unexpectedly, Qin Rui looked at the woman opposite with a stunned face.

Looking at the county lord of Pingyang who was stabilized by Prince Yuan!

Why?

Didn't he dislike Binh Duong?

Why do you still have to pay attention to her every move, could it be that the matter of marrying Pingyang was also agreed to by him, not forced by the queen mother?

Ning Xi stabilized his figure, and generously raised his head to thank Qin Yuan, "Thank you Lord for saving me." ”

Qin Yuan bowed slightly, glanced at her hand, and turned to leave.

The warm touch on the back of his hand had long since disappeared, but the fingerprints on it were still clearly visible, and Ning Xi glanced at his back and retracted his gaze.

……

The county lord of Pingyang almost had an accident at the polo field, and even the emperor was alarmed by such a major event and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

Ning Xi took Su Yun back to the residence arranged by the palace to rest, during which many people came to visit, but she refused on the grounds of rest.

"County Lord, your hand is injured!" When Su Yun changed her clothes, she found her hands full of strangulation marks.

"I'll go to the Imperial Doctor to get your medicine."

Ning Xi glanced at his hands and nodded.

As soon as Su Yun opened the door and went out, she saw a person dressed as a guard standing outside the door, she recognized that this man was the person next to King Yuan, called Ye Qi.

Just when her eyes were full of doubts, Ye Qi took out a bottle and handed it over, "This is the wound medicine that the prince ordered me to give to the county lord." ”

"Ah, thank you, thank you, King Yuan." Su Yun hurriedly cleaned up his expression and took the medicine bottle.

When she returned to the house, she couldn't help but think that this Yuan King was much better than the Fourth Highness, and at least he would care about the county lord.

Ning Xi saw Su Yun come back, why was it so fast.

"County Lord, this is the medicine sent by King Yuan." Su Yun opened the medicine bottle and took out the ointment to help her apply it carefully.

Ning Xi smelled the herbs and asked, "Didn't he say anything?" ”

"Nope." Su Yun buried himself in medicine.

Ning Xi didn't know if Qin Yuan's rescue today would affect the overall layout, and she didn't know who wanted to harm her.

"Tongzi, have you found out?"

[Host, Tongzi I was optimizing some of the data at the time, and I didn't notice it for a while, otherwise I wouldn't have been reminded so late]

Ning Xi, "So, the real culprit hasn't been found yet." ”

"And how is the Emperor's search progressing?"

[Stopped, it was originally a fanfare investigation, but was later ordered to stop by the Queen Mother, saying that it was so exciting that it ruined her mood for her birthday.]

Ning Xi is sexual, could it be that the Queen Mother is also involved in this matter?

If so, then things are tricky.

[Host, Tongzi, I have one more piece of news to tell you, the people sent out by Qin Yuan are still investigating this matter. He's still very fond of you. ]

Ning Xi ignored Tongzi's quip, she felt that this Tangquan Palace was a little dangerous, and it was most important to find a way to save her life.

"Tongzi, don't be busy going offline yet, exchange some life-saving props for me."

[Host, the Yusen Palace is full of guards, you don't need to be so nervous, do you?] What's more, how could Qin Yuan let his marriage partner have an accident.]

Ning Xi blew her hand, of course, the more life-saving means, the better, although she believed in Qin Yuan's ability very much, and being reliable was the safest.

Just as she was about to rest, there was the sound of footsteps outside.

Su Yun walked out and came in for a while, "County Lord, the Fourth Highness has come to visit you." ”

"No, just say I'm asleep."

It was very early, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that they were making excuses.

Qin Rui stood outside the courtyard with a sinking expression, and finally glanced at the direction of the door faintly and waved his sleeves away.

……

The next night, the lanterns came on, and the Queen Mother's birthday banquet began.

The whole Tangquan Palace sang and danced, and it was very lively, and even the palace maids and eunuchs who came and went were also happy.

The daughters of the sons who participated in the banquet entered the venue one by one dressed in gorgeous costumes.

Ning Xi lifted her skirt slightly and went up the steps, and when she went to the venue, she saw Qin Rui very unfortunately.

Presumably, Qin Rui came to find her to enter with the queen according to the queen's words, so that everyone could see and think that they had a good relationship, and when the queen announced their marriage, the others naturally accepted it.

Forget it, just ignore him.

Ning Xi continued to walk forward with Su Yun.

Just as the two were about to stagger shoulders, Qin Rui suddenly turned around and grabbed her wrist.

Ning Xi shook him off and said coldly, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" ”

Qin Rui didn't expect her to throw so heavily and so decisively, and a nameless anger came out.

"Pingyang, how long are you going to ignore me?"

He's thinking about yesterday's avoidance and the snub he's been in for a while.

Ning Xi raised his eyes and looked at him, "I didn't notice it, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness." ”

"If Your Highness has nothing else to do, I'll go in first."

"You!" Qin Rui was completely angered by her attitude, but the queen's words were suppressed, so she had to take a deep breath and chase after her.

"I'll go in with you."

Ning Xi ignored him, and after entering the main hall of the banquet, he naturally sat down next to Ning Lie.

Ning Bairong, this kid, looked around uneasily, but saw that Guo Zhi's gaze had been fixed on Qin Rui, the fourth highness, and his heart was sour, but he was pinched hard by the Liang family.

When Qin Rui passed by, he took the initiative to say hello to Ning Lie, and Ning Lie's attitude towards him was still a little different from before.

After he left, Ning Lie looked sideways at Ning Xi and said in a low voice: "There will be a lot of things happening today, don't be impulsive, just listen to what I say and act." ”

Ning Xi nodded casually.

It seems that Qin Yuan has already discussed with Ning Lie, and the problem he faces this time should not be big.

No matter how much the queen plans, she still has to look at the emperor's face, not to mention that the queen mother is not a vegetarian.

Ning Xi took a sip of wine, and saw Qin Yuan entering in a dark brocade robe, his face was like a crown of jade, and he attracted the attention of many people as soon as he entered.

Even, some people began to come forward to greet him, and were sent away by his smiling face.

Only those who have really interacted with him know that Prince Yuan is elegant on the surface, but his style is very cold, so most people still stay away.

Qin Rui saw Qin Yuan sitting down, and the scene of him hugging Pingyang off the horse suddenly appeared in his mind.

Uncle Huang and Pingyang met privately?

He subconsciously went to find Ning Xi's figure, and his eyes soon fell on her face, calm and unhurried, and the makeup was amazing.

It feels like she's changed so much from what she's used to.

At this moment, Qin Rui met Guo Zhi's resentful gaze.

He smiled at her with some weakness, with a sense of reassurance.

When Guo Zhi saw this scene, although she was not happy, she still put on an innocent smile on the surface.

The song and dance came to an end, and everyone began to present birthday gifts to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother.

Qin Rui presented a longevity bowl with black lacquer and gold patterns, and the Queen Mother patted the back of his hand with satisfaction, and said with a kind smile: "Rui'er has a heart." ”

At this moment, the queen stepped forward:

"The concubine wants to give the emperor a good news."

As soon as these words came out, the seats held their breath.
