17 Chapter XVII
"Girl, didn't you leave the wolves?" Lin Han looked distressed, "Today is Uncle Zhou's absence, otherwise he will vomit blood when he sees you with that prince." ”
Uncle Zhou is Zhou Yunchang, and now he is a scholar in the Ministry of Industry, and he has had some holidays with the prince because of some problems in the construction of royal gardens, and Wen Ning is not very clear about the specific reasons, but he only knows that Uncle Zhou has a straight face when he mentions the prince, and he seems to have great opinions on Xiao Yunci.
Wen Ning looked at him helplessly and poured him a cup of tea, "Uncle Lin, you can take a breath and talk about it." ”
"I don't drink tea at night, and I can't sleep when I'm old." Lin Han excused himself, but smelled a light scent of tea.
The fragrance was really good, rich but not too strong, clear and pleasant, which made Lin Han's brows move slightly.
"You still have such good tea?" Lin Han asked quietly.
Wen Ning saw that he seemed to be a little interested in this tea, so he directly put the teacup in front of him, "Uncle Lin taste it." ”
"The emperor is willing to do it this time, does he feel guilty? I'll give you some good stuff when I'm done...... I'll help you test the poison. Lin Han took a sip unceremoniously and raised his eyebrows, this tea is really good, superb.
"It was given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Wen Ning said.
Lin Han's expression froze, and he almost choked.
Wen Ning hurriedly patted him on the back, crying and laughing, "Uncle Lin ventured here today, what's the matter?" ”
"We think about it, we still have to save you." Lin Han said.
Wen Ning's hand froze slightly.
Lin Han said angrily, "Although the emperor is a little loose about this matter today, he still wants you to make peace after all." Speaking of which, it's all Xiao Yunci, although those words got Qi Weiming's poor kid out of trouble, they didn't solve your predicament at all, but instead slapped your ass in front of the emperor, and the matter of your relationship became more and more justifiable. ”
Wen Ning was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "Uncle Lin just said to save me, how are you going to save me?" ”
Lin Han instantly became energetic, put down the teacup in his hand, straightened up and said, "Let's discuss, start with the Tatars first, and make some mess on their side, so that Bigal has to go back." As long as the matter of harmony is delayed, there will be other ways to save you. ”
"How to make a mess." Wen Ning frowned, "The uncles are all in the capital now, and there is still a response from the Tatars?" ”
"There are some eyes and ears, but there are few of them, mainly in the middle and lower ranks of the army, although they can't set off any storms, but things are man-made." Lin Han also had a headache about this matter, "But this is the last resort, we are thinking about it." ”
"Don't force yourself and threaten yourself." Wen Ning said worriedly, then she swallowed her saliva and said softly, "Do you think it would be beneficial to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help?" ”
"How can there be such a dangerous thought?" Uncle Lin reacted greatly, "He is looking for you today?" The girl knows that the prince's methods are really terrifying, and there are countless lives in his hands, this is still a trivial matter, he has many ears and eyes, and now I am afraid that he has already grasped the movements of our people, just waiting for us to show our feet for his use, close to you, I am afraid that it is also for these interests to deceive the girl. ”
"You can't agree, this is a tiger skin, be careful that he eats your bones." Uncle Lin reminded.
"Thank you, Uncle Lin, I keep this matter in mind." Wen Ning nodded, "I will definitely be careful." ”
Seeing that she could listen to the advice, Lin Han's heart was a little relieved, but he remembered something else.
"One more thing." Uncle Lin said, "Last time, the girl asked me to check the matter between Zhou Mingyan and the two grandmothers, and it has been found out that the two grandmothers are indeed Zhou Mingyan entrusted someone to rectify you, because Zhou Mingyan admires the handsome boy of the Qi family, and hopes that as long as there are rumors that you are not a virgin, the kid of the Qi family will dislike it and don't want you, and she will be able to take advantage of it." ”
"She miscalculated, that kid is not such a scum man, just because of these will give up on you, you see his affectionate appearance today, that is a risk."
"Second, you were going to kiss, and she didn't know what she was anxious about, obviously as long as she silently stayed by Qi Weiming's side, she had to make this out, so she wasn't very smart."
Wen Ning thought of the two dead grandmothers, frowned and asked, "Is there something strange happening around her recently?" ”
"How does the girl know?" Lin Han opened his mouth and said, "We wanted to find a reason to punish her, but we heard that she was so frightened that she couldn't stay out of the door for the past two days. ”
"Later, I found out that the two grandmothers who bullied you were actually dead, and they died in the palace, one was bruised, the other was bleeding, and the death was very miserable, and the evil door was very evil." Uncle Lin frowned and said, "Zhou Mingyan is a girl in the end, she is so scared at home that she can't eat tea and dinner, and the guards in the courtyard are not enough to protect her." ”
"But even if the wicked have wicked people to grind, those two grandmothers are used to doing these immoral things, and they have harmed more than one life, and it is not a pity to die." Lin Han said.
Wen Ning lowered her eyes, did not say that the death of these two grandmothers was also due to Xiao Yunci's handwriting, and only nodded slightly, "That's enough." ”
Uncle Lin said something about Qi Weiming again, and the little pitiful one was almost scrapped, and now he is in a coma and has a high fever in the house.
He said for a while, and seeing that Wen Ning was silent, he didn't say anything more, for fear of making her even more sad.
"That kid from the Qi family, we will protect it in the future, don't worry, girl." After speaking, Lin Han took out something from his arms and looked at her mysteriously, "Look what I brought you." ”
Wen Ning took the oil paper bag and opened it gently, only to see that it was a piece of mung bean cake that had been almost crushed...... Her favorite mung bean cake is sweet but not greasy, with a faint fragrance.
"Oops, how did you crush it, forget it......" Lin Han was a little embarrassed and stretched out his hand to take it.
Wen Ning stuffed it into her mouth, tears in her eyes, desperately trying not to cry, "It's delicious." ”
……
After Uncle Lin left, Wen Ning lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
She took out the refined nine rings from under her pillow, opened the window, and looked at the high palace wall outside, her mind full of Qi Weiming's miserable appearance today.
I don't know why, she always feels that today's Qi Weiming seems to be different from before.
Maybe it was because he was beaten hard by the board and hurt his self-esteem, or maybe it was because he had suffered too much from too many sad things recently, Wen Ning could feel that the way he looked at him seemed to have changed a little - he was no longer as persistent and firm as before, nor was he as pure and comfortable as before.
But whether it is confronting the emperor in person or sparse in public, it is an indisputable fact that he is dedicated to her.
Gently and gently flipped the nine rings between her fingers, untied them effortlessly, and slowly put them back on, she shook the nine rings against the moonlight, and the delicate gadgets made a nice sound.
Maybe it's her delusion......
What should she do? Should I resign from Xiao Yun?
Following.
After she finished dressing up, the guards in front of the gate of Yongning Palace came to report, and Gonggong Xu came to pass on the holy message.
Wen Ning immediately went to the door to greet her, Qingyue also followed behind Wen Ning with a cautious face, and as soon as she saw Gonggong Xu, she knelt down with a puff, and didn't dare to raise her head.
This Xu Gongcheng is the Xu Jingqi who shouted for execution in public yesterday, a celebrity around the emperor, and can be regarded as a one-handed cover in the palace attendants.
Wen Ning hurriedly saluted, acting according to the highest specifications, but a string tightened in her heart...... Father-in-law Xu came in person, it must be not simple, could it be that there has been any change in the matter of harmony?
Xu Jingqi had already noticed that she was following the prince yesterday, and today she saw that she understood the rules very well, and smile lines flowed from the corners of her eyes, "You don't have to be polite, the girl is here today to spread the word of the saint." ”
"The courtiers obey the order." Wen Ning still knelt and pursed her lips slightly.
Xu Jingqi said, "The emperor said: I think about it, the matter of harmony is still the same, Prince Bigele is not feeling well and is in a hurry to go back, and the matter of harmony cannot be delayed any longer." is the daughter of the deceased general, is the daughter of Beiming, after the preparation of the Ministry of Rites, the canonization ceremony will be carried out, Wen Ning will be married to Princess Hening, and today I will arrange for my grandmother to educate the royal etiquette, and I will order it to go down, and this matter will not be discussed. ”
Every time Xu Jingqi said a word, Wen Ning's heart sank even more, and after listening to all the words, her face was as pale as paper.
It's still here after all, and it's still decided after all.
"Miss Wen, please get up." When Xu Jingqi saw her face, he understood her mood, he sighed and persuaded, "The people of Beiming will definitely remember Miss Wen and be grateful to Miss Wen." ”
Wen Ning tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled faintly, but her heart was bitter, "Thank you Gonggong Xu for your comfort." ”
"Miss Wen, please, the matter of etiquette is arranged in the palace where Prince Bigram now lives, and the girl not only has to learn the etiquette of the Beiming royal family, but also the etiquette of the Tatar side, so it is more convenient to go there." Gonggong Xu smiled and said, "I'll take you personally." ”
Wen Ning's fingers trembled, and he raised his head in shock, "Prince Bigeler...... How's your body well? ”
"It's still a little unwell, but Prince Biegler is strong and strong, and minor problems always get better quickly, so Miss Wen doesn't have to worry." Gonggong Xu smiled and said, "Miss Wen, please." ”
Worried, of course she was.
That day, when he was held down by Bigram in the Imperial Garden, he felt as if he was worse than death and returned to her body again, but he did not succeed that day, and was stopped by Xiao Yunci on the spot...... If I see him again today, I don't know what will happen.
Will he continue what he didn't finish that day? Or will they retaliate against her even more?
Wen Ning's fingers were cold, she knew that she couldn't hide today, so she opened her mouth and said softly, "Father-in-law Xu, this dress on your body is not suitable, and the courtier wants to change her clothes." ”
Her voice trembled slightly, and the broken porcelain pieces she had been wearing on her body were ...... But that wasn't enough, she needed help.
With her own strength, she was no match for Biegler, and even if he was now damaged, it would be easy to deal with her.
What should she do? What could she do? Only one person can save her.
"Miss Wen is naturally beautiful, this dress is good, there is no need to change it." Xu Jingqi immediately interrupted her words, squinting his eyes and looking her up and down a few times, "The matter has come to this, I advise you, don't have other stupid thoughts." ”
Wen Ning was pierced in her heart, her heart beat fast, and she got up slowly, "Thank you Gonggong Xu for reminding ......"
Seeing that she was obedient, Xu Jingqi turned around and wanted to leave with satisfaction, Wen Ning seized this opportunity, quickly grabbed Qingyue's hand, pointed in the direction next door, and glanced at her.
Xu Jingqi in front seemed to notice something, and with a slight sideways gaze, Wen Ning quickly let go of his hand and quickly followed behind Gonggong Xu.
Qingyue looked at Wen Ning's back as she left, anxious and helpless, the girl's hands were as cold as ice, obviously frightened...... I heard that the prince of Nabigler was strong and strong, and it was terrifying......
The girl was taken away by Father-in-law Xu himself...... Qingyue swallowed her saliva, and four words popped up in her head, fierce and auspicious.
Wait a minute!
Qingyue glanced next door, and the direction the girl was pointing in ...... Prince East Palace?
