Concubine Duan walked up to her daughter, held her hand, smiled gently, and asked softly, "Meng'er, do you know that Ren Pingsheng has returned to Beijing yesterday?" ”

Heard Ren Pingsheng's three words.

Liu Yunmeng's body stiffened slightly, and he quickly adjusted his emotions, and pretended to be indifferent: "Erchen doesn't know." ”

Concubine Duan was slightly stunned when she saw her cold expression.

In her impression, every time she mentioned Ren Pingsheng or the prince of Zhenbei, Meng'er's eyes would light up, and it was no exaggeration to say that her eyes were bright.

Why did you behave so coldly this time?

Could it be that there is some contradiction between the two?

As soon as she thought of this, she asked tentatively: "Some time ago, didn't you always mention him in front of your mother, and you still wanted your mother to send the letter you wrote to the Yunlong Canyon, but now that he has returned to Jingshi, why is he depressed?" ”

Liu Yunmeng was afraid that his mother would see that he was too close to Ren Pingsheng, so he replied coldly: "He has been away from Jingshi for so long, and he didn't think about sending a letter to his son, and he didn't have much place in his heart, so why did his son bother to meet him." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and looked at his mother: "Moreover, the mother concubine has taught her sons that if you want to handle a person like Ren Pingsheng, you must know how to keep your distance and maintain a state of immediacy."

If he didn't think of his son as soon as he returned to Beijing, and his son went to him, wouldn't it seem that his son had to be him, not to mention that he was still Chang'an's husband. ”

It said a lot in one breath, which is well-founded and convincing.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be angry with Ren Pingsheng, Concubine Duan's heart sank, and after a few seconds of silence, she actually spoke for Ren Pingsheng.

"Shizhou is located in a remote area, the people are fierce, bandits are rampant, Ren Pingsheng went there to experience, there will be a lot of trouble on the way, I am afraid that even when eating, I have to be vigilant at all times, I can't spare time to write to you, in the eyes of the concubine, it is also human nature.

As for why didn't you come to the palace to see you immediately after returning to Beijing...... After a tiring journey, it is normal to think about resting for two days after returning home. ”

The mother concubine is defending Ren Pingsheng?

Liu Yunmeng was a little confused, and she didn't know why her mother, who had always been lukewarm to Ren Pingsheng, suddenly changed her attitude.

For a while, I didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Concubine Duan continued: "These few days are the most exhausting moments in Ren Pingsheng's life, and someone needs to care for him the most, Chang An's temperament, you also know that even if he encounters an accident and falls from the clouds, the arrogance in his bones will not change, and he will never care about Ren Pingsheng."

At this time, if you can give her gentle care, you will definitely be able to occupy a heavier weight in his heart, and replace Chang An in the future, just around the corner......"

As she spoke, the look between her eyebrows became more and more excited, and her eyes burst with light.

Liu Yunmeng looked at his mother, her expression became a little strange, and the more she listened, the more she felt that something was wrong.

The mother concubine is teaching herself how to please Ren Pingsheng?

This moment.

She suddenly felt that the always dignified and generous, amiable mother was a little strange.

After thinking about it, I felt very normal.

The mother concubine was able to gain a foothold in the palace and become a concubine whose status was second only to the queen, didn't she rely on these means?

It's just that......

For no reason, why did the mother teach herself this?

A month ago, didn't she teach herself how to handle Ren Pingsheng and let him use it for herself?

Liu Yunmeng was puzzled in his heart, and then he was in a trance.

The reasoning and skills taught by the mother sound really useful.

However, she didn't want to use any so-called skills on Ren Pingsheng.

In her opinion, when two people are together, liking is the most important thing, and if it is mixed with something else, it will change the taste.

From beginning to end, she never thought of taking Ren Pingsheng and letting him use it for herself.

Even if Ren Pingsheng is not the prince of Zhenbei, just a cloth cloth, and does not help the royal brother's battle for succession, she will still be good to him without reservation.

Similarly, she also believes that Ren Pingsheng will definitely do the same to herself.

The affection between them is pure and sincere!

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say so, I just nodded and agreed: "The teachings of the mother concubine, the sons and daughters remember." ”

Concubine Duan looked like a teachable child, and nodded with satisfaction: "The concubine knows that you and Ren Pingsheng are in love, and I think what the concubine said is to taint the relationship between you."

However, a person like Ren Pingsheng will not lack flowers and moons around him, gentle and lovely women, you and him are now in love, heart-to-heart, after a long time, whether it can be maintained or not, it may not be.

Sometimes, if you want to capture someone's heart, you can't just rely on feelings, you can ...... how you want."

Speaking of this, he seemed to recall some past events, sighed leisurely, and waved his hand: "That's it, at your age, no matter how much the mother concubine says, you won't take it to heart, you just need to remember that the mother concubine won't harm you." ”

Speaking of which, for the sake of it.

No matter how dull Liu Yunmeng was, he could realize that something must have happened in the north, causing the status of the Zhenbei Royal Mansion in the imperial court to rise sharply.

The mother concubine will teach herself so bluntly and let herself win over Ren Pingsheng.

Well...... It may sound a little dirty.

But the mother knew before that her feelings and attitude towards Ren Pingsheng were so straightforward.

If it's a different person, it may not be the case.

She didn't think much about it, looked at Concubine Duan, blinked, and asked curiously, "Mother Concubine, what happened in the north?" ”

Concubine Duan thought for a while, lowered her voice and said: "There is news from the north, a month and a half ago, the king of Zhenbei went to the Northern Wilderness alone, killed the stargazing priest, one of the three major priests of the barbarians, and retreated.

Now, the body of the stargazing priest has been sent to the Jingshi, and it will arrive in seven days at most. ”

Stargazing priests?

Liu Yunmeng didn't know much about the barbarians, and his eyes showed a blank look, and he asked, "Is this barbarian killed by the King of Zhenbei very strong?" ”

Concubine Duan said with a serious face: "He is one of the five extraordinary powerhouses of the barbarians, and it is rumored that the reason why the barbarians agreed to negotiate with the imperial court is because the king of Zhenbei killed him, and he was able to retreat with his whole body, which made the barbarians extremely jealous......"

Halfway through speaking, he stopped abruptly and changed his words: "The concubine is just hearsay, and I don't know much about this, but one thing is certain, after this incident, Your Majesty and the civil and military officials will definitely rely more on the king of Zhenbei, and the status of the Zhenbei palace will be further advanced in the court." ”

So......

As long as he can maintain his relationship with Ren Pingsheng, the weight of Brother Ning Wang's father in his father's heart will be heavier?

Liu Yunmeng is not a blank slate, and he also understands the battle for succession.

I know in my heart that even if Chang An is reduced to a wasted person, the position of King Ning's brother as the prince is not foolproof.

Not to mention anything else, King Jin has a high reputation among Wenchen, and he is a great threat to King Ning's brother.

If you can win over the Zhenbei Wangfu to support Brother Ning.

Even if Wenchen supports the king of Jin again, he will also take into account the stability of the north, and the same is true for his father.

As soon as she thought of this, she nodded lightly and said with a serious face: "What the mother concubine said today, the sons and daughters have all remembered in their hearts. ”

Concubine Duan nodded with satisfaction, opened her mouth to say something, glanced at it inadvertently, but saw that on the side of her neck, there were mottled marks on her fair skin, and it seemed that there was still water.

Moment.

She realized something, and her eyes froze.

Could it be that Meng'er's attitude towards Ren Pingsheng has changed because she has a new love?

The thought had just popped into her head, and she was quickly denied by herself.

Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, she knows very well that her daughter is by no means an abusive person.

"Could it be that this trace was left by Ren Pingsheng?"

Thinking of the last experience, Concubine Duan came up with this idea again.

Recalling many details of his entry into the Yongning Palace.

She became more and more convinced of the idea.

No wonder Qing'er shouted loudly when she saluted.

No wonder Meng'er was not surprised at all when she heard that Ren Pingsheng had returned to Beijing.

No wonder......

Ren Pingsheng worked hard for more than a month, and on the second day after returning to Beijing, he came to the palace early in the morning to have a private meeting with Meng'er......

It seems that I underestimated Meng'er, even if I don't have the bitter heart of my mother, Meng'er can easily handle Ren Pingsheng. ”

As soon as she thought of this, Concubine Duan's delicate face couldn't help but smile, and a feeling of being blue and better than blue rose.

"That's it, the little lover will not bother them when they meet again after a long absence."

There were still a lot of words in her heart, Concubine Duan held back all of them, there was a smile that couldn't be concealed between her eyebrows, and she said softly: "Okay, the mother concubine will say this, you can rest for a long time." ”

After saying that, he said no more and turned to leave.

Liu Yunmeng was still thinking about Ren Pingsheng who was hiding in the house, and he didn't keep it, but just saluted: "Erchen sends his mother to the concubine." ”

A moment later.

watched the concubine leave.

She was suddenly relieved, and was about to go into the house to call Ren Pingsheng to come out, but before she could move, she saw Qing'er walk in.

"Your Highness, you and the prince have not been discovered, have you?"

Qing'er blinked and asked curiously.

Liu Yunmeng's face showed pride and raised his head slightly: "That's nature." ”

"Then ......"

In the next second, the good words were stuck in Qing'er's throat, and she couldn't spit them out.

She looked at Her Highness's white swan neck and the clearly visible red marks on the side, and her expression became a little strange.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, the slave maid thinks that Niangniang should have found out." ”

"How is that possible?"

Liu Yunmeng recalled the conversation just now, admitting that he hadn't exposed any problems, and said with a serious face: "If the concubine really found out, it wouldn't be the attitude just now, let alone ......"

Before she finished speaking, Qing'er interrupted her: "The slave maid goes to get the bronze mirror." ”

After speaking, a smoke slipped into the side room and took a bronze mirror.

Liu Yunmeng looked dazed, reached out and took it, looking at the clear red spots in the mirror.

She was stunned at first, then her face was hot, her pretty face turned red, and there was only one thought in her heart: Bengong is dead!

This time.

Ren Pingsheng pushed open the door and walked out: "Concubine Duanniang is gone?" ”

Liu Yunmeng's pretty face was as ruddy as the sunset, and she turned her head to look at him, her eyes were filled with a layer of mist, her heart was ashamed, and her voice trembled: "Look at the good things you have done." ”

Ren Pingsheng looked at the red spots on her neck, and he was also stunned.

Just when he didn't know what to say.

Liu Yunmeng blushed, walked up to him, stood on tiptoe, bit the back of his neck lightly, and whispered: "You can't be embarrassed by this palace alone, what this palace has, you must also have ......"

…………

It had been more than an hour since he came out of the palace.

Ren Pingsheng's back of the neck, the inside of the arms, and the position of the chest have a few more fresh red spots.

When cultivating, as long as Chang An pays attention, he will definitely be able to see it.

But he didn't have time to care about it at the moment, and all he thought about was the news he heard from his sister-in-law.

"Go deep into the Northern Wilderness alone, kill the stargazing priest, and still be able to escape with your whole body...... When did Daddy become so strong? ”

As the prince of Zhenbei.

Ren Pingsheng's understanding of the barbarians is naturally far greater than that of Liu Yunmeng.

He knew very well the weight of the four words stargazing priest.

The Northern Barbarian Clan is a force that is very similar to the Federation in its organizational form.

One tribe after another, constituting the entire barbarian race.

Inter-tribal affairs are handled by the patriarch.

Above the major tribes, there are three priests, each in charge of different affairs, and each of them has the strength of the transcendent realm.

In addition, among the major tribes, there are also two patriarchs of the transcendent realm.

Taken together, the barbarians have a total of five powerhouses in the transcendent realm.

Among them, the stargazing priest is not the strongest one, but he is not the weakest one either.

In the territory of the barbarians, kill the stargazing priest and retreat with his whole body, the people of the world, I am afraid that only the martial saint can do it.

Daddy can do it, it must have used some magic weapon, or with the help of some kind of power.

Even so, it can still give the demon and barbarian clans a great deterrent.

"No wonder something happened to Wusheng Mountain, not only did the demon and barbarian clans not move, but they also sent an envoy to Beijing to negotiate, it turned out that my father played a role......

Having said that, I don't know if my dad is injured or if he is well. ”

Ren Pingsheng was walking on the way home, and in a trance, he suddenly realized that he hadn't communicated to his family for a long time.

"When I go back, write a letter and ask my dad what the situation is."

Thinking so, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Meanwhile.

In the sky above Jingshi, the dark clouds of black pressure are converging, covering the sky and the sun, making people feel a little depressed.

Ren Pingsheng didn't take the changes in the weather to heart, but felt that as time went by, the discomfort in his body became more and more intense.

Half an hour later.

Ren Pingsheng returned to the mansion and wanted to go to Chang An and ask her if she felt the same way.

When I was walking in the corridor, I happened to meet the little maid Qiu'er.

After thinking about it, if it was really the discomfort caused by the "Yin and Yang Liangyi Heart Sutra", the little heavenly master should know more than Chang An.

It's better to ask the little heavenly master first.

So he followed her to another courtyard.

"Miss Mu, long time no see."

Ren Pingsheng looked at Mu Rou, who was sitting on a chair with a blanket on her legs, and her face was pale, and said hello with a smile.

Mu Rou heard his voice, raised her eyes to look at him, her pink lips opened slightly, and she wanted to respond, but before she could speak, she coughed violently.

"Cough cough-"

When Qiu'er saw this scene, she looked distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward and patted her on the back.

At this time, Ren Pingsheng understood why there was a faint sorrow between Qiu'er's eyebrows just now.

It turned out that he hadn't seen him for more than a month, and Xiao Tianshi's illness became more and more serious......
