Chapter Twenty-Nine: Disobedience
Through getting along with Su Ling, Xiao Heng found that she had a very high learning ability. Since returning from the hunting ground that day, Su Ling didn't want to hunt anymore, so Xiao Heng taught her archery in the house.
The woman who originally looked soft and weak was extremely focused when shooting arrows, and even Xiao Heng couldn't help but marvel at the middle ring.
"Su Ling, you really impress me." Xiao Heng stood aside and applauded her after Su Ling's contact ended.
Su Ling put down his bow and arrows, gasped and said, "Your Highness has praised it." ”
"I've decided, tomorrow's winter hunt, you go with me." Xiao Heng originally only planned to let her attend the hunting ground and let Jiang Duanchen watch from the sidelines, but now he has changed his mind, he wants Su Ling to disguise herself as a man and let her talent surprise everyone.
Tomorrow's hunting ground must be a good show.
Xiao Heng lowered his eyebrows and smiled.
Su Ling frowned, "Your Highness, can I not go?" It is not appropriate for me to attend such a place as a woman. What's more, if she met Jiang Duanchen and saw other people standing next to him, and she was beside the third prince, how should she explain.
She has been thinking about a question in the past few days, that is, how can she be worthy of Jiang Duanchen, how can she stand by his side openly, maybe Nie Yunhua is right, now she is indeed not qualified to accompany him.
Her starting point was very different from his.
Looking at Su Ling's thoughtful appearance, Xiao Heng curled the corners of his lips and smiled: "It's okay, you can dress up as a man, you are so talented, how can you not show your hand?" ”
Su Ling raised her head in surprise, "A woman dressed as a man?" ”
Xiao Heng nodded affirmatively.
On the Prime Minister's Mansion, because of Nie Yunhua's various excuses, Jiang Duanchen felt more and more that something had happened to Su Ling. He paced back and forth in front of Jiang Shengchuan.
Jiang Shengchuan couldn't stand it, and asked tentatively, "Chen'er, do you have anything you want to tell me?" You're dangling here, and Daddy has a headache to watch. ”
When Jiang Duanchen heard this, he stopped, exuding coercion all over his body, and asked in a cold voice: "Do you know where the queen mother will hide if she wants to hide people?" ”
Jiang Shengchuan pondered for a moment and replied: "I heard that she has an underground underground prison, and anyone who provokes her will lock people in it privately. "This is what he heard Su'er say. Three months after Nie Yunhua entered the palace, he privately set up a water prison and invited Su'er to watch.
Anyone who went against her was trapped in it, and Li Susu was physically unwell due to the stench as soon as she arrived at the door. But she still insisted on going in to visit, because Nie Yunhua was extremely enthusiastic, and she couldn't refute Nie Yunhua's face.
I saw that every prisoner she saw when she went in was swollen with blisters, and the water was mixed with blood and thick water. She couldn't take it anymore and left under the pretext that something was going on at home, and never went to that place again.
After Jiang Duanchen heard this, he suddenly felt bad in his heart.
If it was him before, he would definitely respect Nie Yunhua and would not doubt her at all, but he heard other people's absurd thoughts about Nie Yunhua, plus Nie Yunhua shirked everything he could about seeing Su Ling in the past few days.
He also began to waver unconsciously.
"I'll go to the palace." Without waiting for Jiang Shengchuan to continue, Jiang Duanchen brushed his sleeves and left.
Jiang Shengchuan reminded in the back: "Chen'er, the palace is about to close, what are you going to do!" ”
Jiang Duanchen had murderous intent in his eyes, if Nie Yunhua really dared to trap Su Ling in the water prison, he would destroy the Fengming Palace.
Nie Yunhua was still gloomyly embroidering a mandarin duck handkerchief in the Fengming Hall at this time, she was distracted, the tip of the needle pierced her fingers, and she angrily threw the handkerchief on the ground.
She looked at the handkerchief on the ground and sneered, "Isn't the mourning family destined to be unhappy?" ”
"Niangniang......" The maid Huanxiang hurriedly came to the main hall and knelt on the ground to pray.
Nie Yunhua was angry, and when he saw Huanxiang's reckless appearance, he slapped the table with a "snap" and said angrily: "What are you doing in a panic, do you want to punish you for kneeling!" ”
Huanxiang trembled and said, "No, Niangniang, Prime Minister Jiang is here." ”
Hearing Jiang Duanchen's name, Nie Yunhua supported his forehead, and the palace was about to close, why did he still come? "The old rules, if you don't see it, just say I'm unwell."
"Niang Niang is unwell? That Caichen listened to your voice, but he was full of energy. Jiang Duanchen ignored the obstruction of his subordinates and forced his way in. The guards at the door looked at Nie Yunhua tremblingly and glared at them.
Jiang Duanchen glanced at those guards with cold eyes, "It has nothing to do with them, the minister has come here recently, and he just wants to ask Qing Niangniang something." ”
Nie Yunhua suppressed his anger and motioned for everyone to retreat.
"What's the matter with Chen'er? By the way, how are you and that Jiang girl doing? Nie Yunhua looked at Jiang Duanchen's unkind face, so he opened the topic.
Jiang Duanchen watched Nie Yunhua walk in front of her step by step.
"Su Ling, where is it?"
Listening to Jiang Duanchen's deep voice, Nie Yunhua shuddered, she flashed her eyes and said: "Su Ling is learning etiquette from Mama Cui, she, she is serious about learning, and she can't embarrass you if she wants to study hard." ”
"Really? The minister will not disturb the mother, the minister will go to Cui Mama to pick up Su Ling home, if she is not there, ......" Although Jiang Duanchen said that he was leaving, he did not leave at all, his eyes were even deeper, and he wanted to see Nie Yunhua through.
Nie Yunhua couldn't hide it, so he confessed directly, "Su Ling, I was picked up by Heng'er." She pointed the finger at Xiao Heng.
When Jiang Duanchen heard this, his face instantly darkened, "What do you mean?" ”
Nie Yunhua lied: "Heng'er came to the mourning family that day, and when she saw Su Ling, she seemed to be very interested in her, so she asked the mourning family for someone, and the mourning family of course wanted to respect her......" He observed Jiang Duanchen's expression, and he could see that his face was full of anger now, so the corners of her lips hooked up a smug smile and continued: "Su Ling is quite willing, and the mourning family did not stop it." ”
Since Jiang Duanchen found that something was wrong, she pushed the boat with the flow, and it just so happened that she had been worrying about how to get rid of Xiao Heng's threat.
Jiang Duanchen listened to Nie Yunhua's words, and felt harsh, his hands clenched under his sleeves, and his eyes looked at Nie Yunhua fiercely, "It's better not to lie to the ministers." ”
Looking at the child who has been raised since he was a child, he actually questioned himself for a woman, and Nie Yunhua's anger was instantly ignited.
"Chen'er! What do you mean? You don't believe the words of the mourners? Nie Yunhua asked.
Jiang Duanchen looked coldly at this person who had always looked like a mother in front of him, but now he had become strange and arrogant. "It's nothing, the minister just wants to remind Niangniang that what you want to do is your own business, don't involve Su Ling." Jiang Duanchen stared at Nie Yunhua with disgusted eyes.
"What do you say? The mourning family really raised you for nothing, and now you are actually fighting against the mourning family for an outsider. Nie Yunhua was already in a bad mood, and in the face of Jiang Duanchen's provocation, his face began to be hideous. She felt betrayed, betrayed by someone closest to her. She thought that she and Jiang Duanchen were all the way, and he could understand her.
"The minister never wanted to disobey Niangniang, but it just can't involve Su Ling, I can be your pawn, she can't." Jiang Duanchen had vowed not to let Su Ling be hurt again. If she was involved in Nie Yunhua's rebellion, he would not sit idly by.
Nie Yunhua sneered when he heard this, and the terrible laughter resounded through the hall, "Jiang Duanchen, what qualifications do you think you have to say these things to the mourning family, if it weren't for the mourning family, you wouldn't be a fart now." ”
Jiang Duanchen looked at her indifferently, "Niangniang, you are really pathetic. Nie Yunhua roared angrily, "Sad to mourn? What about you? Have you been arranged by others to have your fate, are you willing? In fact, we are all the same, only by sitting in a higher position can we control our own lives, Jiang Duanchen join me. ”
Jiang Duanchen looked at her crazy appearance, took a step back, and said goodbye to her, "If Su Ling is not here, the minister will retire first." ”
After that, Jiang Duanchen resolutely left.
With this turn, Nie Yunhua's determination became even firmer, Su Ling, he would die.
Her eyes were cold, and she looked out of Fengming Hall from a distance, and her eyes were full of murderous intent.
