22 Chapter XXII

Wen Ning didn't expect the current situation at all, and thought that it would be Uncle Lin, so she just wore a random dress tonight, and her hair was not tied up, she was draped casually, and her black hair was sprinkled all over her body.

The moonlight fell on her through the window lattice, shrouded in white light, she was not pink but her face was as clear as jade, and at a glance it was an impeccable color of the city.

Xiao Yunci's gaze fell on her, his pupils moved slightly, and then he quickly withdrew his gaze.

Wen Ning couldn't help but glance at the bronze mirror, and the self in the mirror was really a little casual.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has seen the more embarrassed appearance, it is still a little rude to dress up in front of His Royal Highness the Prince.

"The courtier, go and ......fix the hairpin," Wen Ning said softly.

"No need to be polite." Xiao Yunci leaned aside and glanced at her quietly, "Let's talk about business." ”

Wen Ning slowly took a step back, stood far away from him, pursed her lips slightly, thought about it carefully, and still asked tentatively, "Why is Your Highness here at this time today?" ”

Today he did say that "the matter of marriage needs to be discussed in detail", but he did not say when and how to talk about it, what if it was a coincidence that he appeared here and now?

Wen Ning had some luck, if the pigeon feather was indeed let by Uncle Lin stay, and Xiao Yunci happened to be chosen at this time......

But Xiao Yunci said coldly, "Naturally, I used pigeon feathers to leave a secret signal with you." Miss Wen didn't see it? ”

"See." Wen Ning nodded stiffly.

The last bit of luck in her heart was also shattered by Xiao Yunci - he really knew everything.

But how did he know? He had already learned about this, and he and Uncle Lin didn't notice it at all?

"There have always been many eyes and ears in the palace, Lin Han came and went freely twice, Miss Wen felt that the East Palace was close at hand, and the lonely club didn't feel it at all?" Xiao Yunci seemed to see her worries, and asked directly.

Wen Ning's heart was suddenly startled, and she squeezed the tips of her fingers hard...... Xiao Yunci actually knew very well who the person who came!

To what extent did he know about them? Or is he afraid that he has planned everything a long time ago and waited for her to enter the net?

Wen Ning's heart was beating very fast, thinking of Uncle Lin's warning, she became short of breath, could it be that she was really seeking skin with the tiger?

No, it shouldn't.

Wen Ning quickly dismissed this possibility...... If Xiao Yunci really had any malicious intentions, since he already knew so much, why didn't he just wipe them out, whether it was a threat or an inducement, it would be much easier than helping himself like this thanklessly.

Indeed, as Xiao Yunci said, Uncle Lin came to the palace alone at night at this juncture, and he came twice, which was really too risky.

If it is seized by other people with ulterior motives, it will involve many incidents.

It was she who was not thoughtful and did not dissuade Uncle Lin.

Seeing that her face was gloomy, Xiao Yunci raised his eyebrows slightly, "The traces he left behind, Gu has already arranged it for him, you can rest assured, no one else knows about it." ”

Wen Ning raised her eyes to look at him, and for a while she didn't know how to speak, and guilt and gratitude filled her heart...... It's her villain's heart.

However, his meaning was also very clear, saying this was to show that he had known about this for a long time, and now what he wanted was Lin Han's old subordinate to General Wen, who was exchanging terms with her in the open.

"This is the lonely ...... There is a picture. Xiao Yunci squinted at her, "If you regret it at this time, it's still too late." ”

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Wen Ning to speak, he continued, "Frankly speaking, Lone lacks some help in the court, and needs the elite of General Wen's old department. ”

"Miss Wen should understand that General Wen has relied on this strange army many times, and as far as Gu is concerned, if he can get their help, it is even more difficult to meet, and Gu will also use them on the most critical blade, and will never bury their talents."

Wen Ning frowned for a moment and pondered carefully.

Xiao Yun's words were beyond her expectations, generally speaking, such an exchange of interests, for him, should focus on how much he pays to get more benefits.

But Xiao Yunci took the lead in explaining the importance of Wen Ning to him, and said it clearly and without reservation, which is really ...... Too sincere.

"Your Highness only asks for this one?" Wen Ning asked.

"Naturally, there are others." Xiao Yunci smiled faintly, "Do you remember the trouble that the queen mother asked you for?" ”

Wen Ning instantly thought of the warning words that the queen said to herself at that time, what does it have to do with this matter?

"The queen mother has some opinions about me...... Wen Ning frowned, "Your Highness, if you really marry a courtier, the queen mother will probably try her best to obstruct it." ”

"That's what she wants." Xiao Yunci's eyes were slightly raised, "There are not many people who can make her angry, and you will make her angry with three or two sentences, and Gu is very satisfied with this." ”

"......" Wen Ning opened his mouth, but he was speechless.

What does this count?

It turns out that the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother is so poor? The royal family is really not something ordinary people can imagine.

"She's been urging me to get married for years, and now she's got her wish." Xiao Yunci smiled slowly, his smile was a little gloomy, Wen Ning shuddered, and felt that it was better not to work against this person.

If you are an enemy of such a person, I am afraid that you will not even be able to get a good night's sleep.

"Of course, there are risks involved, and Lone will do his best to protect you, but you also need to think of ways to protect yourself. Xiao Yunci exposed all the possibilities in front of her and let her choose, "There is one more thing you need to do." ”

Wen Ning heard that he had asked a lot, but he breathed a sigh of relief, and felt more and more calm, even relaxed...... The more he asked, the clearer his intentions became, and it meant that for him, marrying her was indeed a good deal.

Otherwise, with such a big favor, she doesn't know how to repay it at all, even if she adds Qi Weiming, I'm afraid the two of them will have to live for a lifetime.

The most expensive thing in the world is obtained for free, and she doesn't dare to take such a big risk with her uncles.

"Your Highness, please speak." Wen Ning said.

"After getting married, he and Gu Qinse and Ming, and they fell in love...... Of course, only in front of outsiders. Xiao Yunci curled his lips and looked at her, "During this period, there are naturally some intimate acts, can you do it?" ”

After he said this, Wen Ning's mind couldn't help but pop up with the outrageous behaviors between men and women that she knew, her ears were slightly red, she muttered for a long time, and said, "I don't know to what His Highness needs, to what extent?" ”

"Naturally, it won't be too offensive, and in the eyes of outsiders, it's okay to be a loving couple." Xiao Yunci looked at the roots of her reddened ears, and her voice was softer, "Lonely's explanation in advance is also so that the girl can be mentally prepared." ”

Wen Ning lowered his eyes and thought about it, although he looked imposing and acting fiercely, he was polite to women, and he did all the things of a gentleman, so she didn't worry too much about this.

Wen Ning nodded and responded, "Hmm...... His Royal Highness said that the courtiers can do it. ”

Xiao Yunci glanced at her deeply, as if making a final confirmation, and his voice was as sonorous as a jade hitting water, "If Miss Wen agrees to be lonely today, she will never regret it...... If there is anything else you want to ask, you can ask now, and once tonight is over, there will be no turning back. ”

When Wen Ning heard this, her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little.

She seems to be standing at a fork in the road, and if she is not careful, she is prone to make mistakes.

So far, the prince's pretending to marry her has no harm in her, but the only one to worry about is Qi Weiming's side......

Qi Weiming was only tortured for himself in the past two days, and now he is recuperating from his injuries in the house, and he is probably in a very bad mood, if he hears the rumors of his marriage to Xiao Yun at this time, I am afraid it will be a huge blow to him.

She has always felt guilty about Qi Weiming, since she was a child, he has been very good to herself, and he has never had anything to do with other girls.

He also did his best to make peace this time, and his every move was blameless, even exceeding her expectations.

Xiao Yunci saw that she lowered her eyes silently, raised her eyebrows slightly, and took the initiative to speak, "As for Qi Weiming." ”

Wen Ning's heart trembled...... He saw his mind again, Xiao Yunci was really terrifying, and he had been completely seen through by the person in front of him.

"Lone also told you about it when I was in the Imperial Garden beforehand." Xiao Yunci's face was calm, his words were extremely rational, without any personal feelings, and he was business-like, "You and Qi Weiming originally had a marriage contract, and the marriage between you and me was just an expedient measure." ”

"The matter of Bigeler is very wide-ranging, Beiming has his layout, it is not overnight to deal with it, if it goes well, two years a year is the limit, if everything is not going well, it is possible to lose in three years and five years, of course, it is also possible that Beiming will be defeated, and all of them will be lost, and these orphans cannot be guaranteed to you."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yunci's face was serious, as if he was already in the court, Wen Ning unconsciously straightened his waist and listened to his words carefully.

"But Lone promised you that once the Tatars retreated, Lone's power was stable, and when the border was pacified, the country and the people would be safe, they would definitely let you go, and you would marry him Qi Weiming."

"As the prince of the Guogong Mansion, Qi Shizi should also understand the importance of the overall situation, this matter is not only about your life and death, but also about General Wen's enmity back then, and the future of the people of Beiming...... Lone will explain it clearly to him, so that he doesn't have to worry about it, you and I have known each other since childhood, just like brother and sister, Lone will not do anything to bully you. ”

"If he has emotions...... There is no way to do it, it depends on how big his mind is and whether he can tolerate these small sections. Xiao Yun said in a deep voice.

Wen Ning listened to what he said, and couldn't help but think of Qi Weiming's personality - he has always been well aware of righteousness, if he told the facts, he would definitely be able to understand that this matter was a last resort, she had no other way to go, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also a painstaking person, and it would be like this with great help.

She nodded, her voice was soft, and there was a bit of shame in her tone, "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is extremely true, the courtiers and daughters are indeed concerned about some children's private affairs, and now the top priority should be to solve the current problem, and Zhao Yan will definitely be able to understand...... Thank you, Your Highness, for your attention. ”

When Xiao Yunci heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked up a little smile, "Miss Wen has a degree of knowledge, and Gu really didn't see the wrong person." ”
