Wen Ning knelt in front of Xiao Yunci.

Xiao Yunci saw that her skirt was stained with mud, and the clothes on her body could be seen after being tidied up, but the hair was scattered between her forehead, making her look less dignified, less noble, and less elegant.

On the contrary, it seems a little embarrassed, messy and frightened.

A woman who is embarrassed and messy and panicked is often not so good-looking, but she is clearly different.

She couldn't help but tears and her eyes were red, but she still followed the clean bottle, no matter how slender her neck was, she would never bow her head, only her eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow on her fair face.

Unlike last time, today's Wen Ning actually didn't take much into account the etiquette, and only barely covered up the mess.

But after a while, she found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and after a while, Xiao Yunci still didn't move, didn't say a word, and her eyes still fell on her body and didn't move away.

At this time, shouldn't he let himself get up?

Wen Ning's eyelashes trembled, she raised her eyes boldly, and glanced at him quietly, but she just crashed into his heavy eyes, she was startled, and immediately lowered her head.

Did she ignore something that made Xiao Yun displeased? Wen Ning became even more nervous, she had never guessed Xiao Yunci's emotions, and she would be nervous every time she was like this.

Xiao Yunci saw her like this, and there was a trace of indescribable emotion in her brown and black eyes.

He finally spoke, his voice soft, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

Wen Ning was puzzled, holding the net bottle, he was really a little puzzled.

Xiao Yunci's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything to remind her, just waiting for her to speak.

Wen Ning thought about it carefully, and seemed to have finally found something, and said softly, "Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for coming to the rescue today." ”

I had already heard this, and Xiao Yunci's face did not change at all.

Wen Ning continued, "The courtiers speculate in vain, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a plan in his heart, it should be intentional, let Prince Bigele make a mistake, in order to save the face of the royal family, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is brave and strategic, courageous, it is really a dragon and phoenix among people, which is admirable." ”

"......" Xiao Yunci narrowed his eyes slightly.

Wen Ning is clearly felt...... Xiao Yunci doesn't seem to want to hear this.

He seemed to be waiting, waiting for himself to say something.

What to say?

She bit her lip, and countless thoughts raced through her mind, but she really didn't know how to speak.

She's already figured out everything about Fang Cai...... Xiao Yunci had to condone Bigram in order to catch Bigram's mistake and punish him.

The emperor turned a blind eye to Bigler's intentions, but did not openly agree with him to mess around in the imperial garden.

After this trouble, if Bigeler sued the emperor, but he did this rude thing first, and it was unreasonable to insult the daughter of the deceased general in broad daylight, so it seemed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the overall situation into account, and Xiao Yunci's action against Bigeler became reasonable.

Therefore, his deliberate departure is the best strategy......

Wen Ning thought of this, and was really grateful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in her heart.

Although she had always been in awe and fear of him before, but today, if he hadn't appeared, she might have committed suicide in the imperial garden, or she might have committed suicide in the palace after being humiliated, and there would be no way to survive after all.

With his help, she can collect flower dew and go to the Queen Mother to fulfill her filial piety today, and she can still avoid humiliation and have a glimmer of hope...... It doesn't get any better than that.

So she slowly raised her eyes, her eyes showed true sincerity, and she bowed to Xiao Yunci with the net bottle in her arms.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind and admirable."

Good......

Not long ago, someone knelt in front of him like this, saying that he was good, and that was her former fiancé.

Xiao Yunci's fingers slowly closed, the back of her hand revealed the veins, but her face barely changed, only closing everything in her eyes before she spoke.

"Get up."

Wen Ning thanked her and was about to get up, she knelt for too long and stumbled a little, but when she saw Xiao Yunci looking at her with lowered eyes, she suddenly spoke, "Do you need help?" ”

When Wen Ning heard this, she just wanted to get up, but she was shocked in her heart and almost didn't stand firm.

Xiao Yunci stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist directly, stabilizing her figure.

Wen Ning was frightened by the hot finger touch on his wrist, and looked at him in panic, but saw that he was still smiling, still smiling like when he was a child, but now, there was no blood on his face, and there was no madness of killing in his eyes, and it would not scare her into nightmares.

She immediately calmed herself down, shook her head and said, "Don't bother His Royal Highness the Prince, you have helped me enough today, and the courtiers themselves can ...... such a small matter as picking flower dew."

"Who said that the flower dew was picked."

"Lonely is ......" Xiao Yunci did not loosen the strength of his hand, only grabbed her wrist, raised her arm slightly, the silky clothes on her arm slowly slipped from Wen Ning's forearm, and the blue and red marks on her arm were exposed.

"Can you help with these?"

Wen Ning's heart jumped suddenly, and he still noticed the red mark on his hand.

How dare she bother Xiao Yunci anymore, and hurriedly refused in fear, "Thank you for your care, Your Royal Highness the Prince, these little things don't bother Your Highness, the courtiers can handle them themselves." ”

Xiao Yunci glanced at her deeply, slowly let go of his fingers, and chuckled, "Okay." ”

"The morning sun has risen, it's time to pick flowers." He said.

The flower dew is really difficult to pick at this hour, but Wen Ning cherishes this opportunity very much, walking around the imperial garden, picking the flower dew that is almost gone.

Fortunately, there are many double petals in the imperial garden, and there is a lot of dew hidden between the layers of petals.

She has just been tossed, and now she is in pain all over her body, but she can't take care of it, only full of double-petaled flowers, concentrated, and has no distractions.

Not far away, in the Flower Viewing Pavilion of the Imperial Garden, there was originally a place where Bigram was supposed to be sitting, but now there was another one, and there was already someone in front of him who had already set up tea sets and pastries, and he frowned slightly, listening to the returning Deng Wu talking in his ear.

Xiao Yunci played with the white porcelain teacup with his fingers, the teacup was dangerous and dangerous, and he almost slipped off several times, but he was easily hooked back.

Deng Wu smiled on his face and said respectfully, "The little one just went to Yongning Palace by the way, sent the things, and asked the Qingyue girl by the way, and heard that this is the case." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yunci put the tea cup on the table, his eyes fell on Wen Ning's body far away, and saw that she took out a handkerchief and wiped the thin sweat on her forehead, and her face was already flushed with a thin red.

The spring day was already a little hot, and she was dressed more formally, so she tied herself tighter when she sorted out her clothes, and now it was normal for her to be hot and uncomfortable.

Xiao Yunci glanced at Deng Wu lightly, Deng Wu was stunned, and he didn't understand Xiao Yunci's meaning for a while.

He was a little panicked for the first time, he had always been the most powerful subordinate by Xiao Yunci's side, and he was also the person who understood Xiao Yunci's thoughts the most...... Didn't react?

Xiao Yunci didn't say anything more, but Deng Wu was very worried, and subconsciously asked, "Your Highness, why don't you ...... The little one is going to pick that flower dew? ”

"Not necessarily." Xiao Yunci poured a cup of tea and tasted it.

It's still bitter and unpleasant.

Deng Wu sighed in his heart, he could feel it now—he could feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today was still in a bad mood.

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in a good mood for a few days, and Deng Wu comforted himself.

When Wen Ning's flower dew was finished, she was already far away from the flower viewing pavilion, and she thought that it would not be good to go back and bother him again, so she only stood among the flowers and looked back.

The figure in the cherry blossom pavilion is no longer visible.

She silently thanked her in her heart, and then went to the Queen Mother with the net bottle.

The atmosphere in the palace was a little stagnant, and when the palace people saw Wen Ning, no one stopped her, and it seemed that the matter of Bigeler had not yet spread.

Wen Ning went to the Queen Mother wholeheartedly, the pace was fast, she had been to the Queen Mother's Palace when she was a child, and now she vaguely remembered the road, plus she had inquired with Qingyue before, so the journey was quite smooth.

Until she came to the gate of Shou'an Palace, where the Queen Mother lived, she was blocked by the guard in front of the door, and the guard said coldly, "The Queen Mother is not feeling well today, please go back." ”

Wen Ning just wanted to report his name, but when he heard this, his heart suddenly turned cold...... The Queen Mother knew she was coming.

She took a deep breath, with the mentality of trying it out, and said softly, "The courtier Wen Ning, when she was young, she was with her father, and she often came to see the Queen Mother...... Now that the courtiers have grown up, they still hope to see the last side of the Queen Mother and do their last filial piety. ”

Her voice was not loud, but it passed through the gate and into the palace.

The guards looked at her sincere appearance, and the two looked at each other, and their eyes showed some unbearable feelings.

No one in the capital knows Wen Yuanhui, and now the general's daughter is actually going to be sent to the enemy and relatives, this matter has already spread all over the capital, which is really distressing.

"Girl, please go back." The guard's voice was gentle, but a little weak.

Wen Ning knew that they didn't mean to be embarrassed, but the Queen Mother was powerless to intervene in this matter, so she would close the door and not see her - I am afraid that the matter of herself and her relatives has been decided, and there is no room for reversal.

She bowed her head in silence, took out the bottle of dew she had just finished collecting, and handed it to the guard.

"Can you help me...... Give it to the Queen Mother. She knew that this last ray of hope was gone, and her heart was sour, "This is the peony dew that was just picked this morning." ”

"And this jade pendant." Wen Ning took out the broken jade pendant, leaving only the sharpest one on his waist, "This jade pendant, the courtiers have always worn it closely, and today it is broken for self-protection...... Thank you Queen Mother for your protection. ”

The guard took the things and almost tried to open his mouth to put her in.

saw Wen Ning take two steps back, knelt in front of the door of Shou'an Palace, and kowtowed a few times.

"God bless Beiming."

After she finished speaking, she didn't ask for anything more, and turned to leave.

After Wen Ning's figure left, the gate of Shouning Palace slowly opened, and the guards turned around to look, and immediately knelt down and saluted the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was holding a Buddha bead in her hand, but she was the queen beside her, supporting the Queen Mother, with a compassionate look.

"This kid ......" The Queen Mother took the jade pendant presented by the guard, slowly stroked the lines of the broken jade pendant, and sighed, "It's also pitiful." ”

The queen looked at the net bottle handed over, but was slightly stunned.

"This net bottle is a gift from the emperor, carved from a complete green jade, and the concubine remembers that it was given by the emperor to the emperor's ......"

When the Queen Mother looked at it, her eyes also condensed slightly.

"The prince actually intervened?"
