The princess ran away again

The room is filled with an ambiguous and charming atmosphere, and the heart is moved by the love.Chu Zhao's eyes were hazy, she leaned closer to Ning Yuyao's face, and gently placed a kiss on her lips.This heart-pounding feeling is different from the banter at that time, and it is also different from the anxiety and bewilderment when being kissed.The eyes are clear, and she knows what she is going to do.

In the silence of the late night, a secret kiss is like a cat that has stolen fish, and now it is even more dizzy, and the mind seems to have landed in a floating fairyland.Ning Yuyao put her hands around Chu Zhao's neck, and in the random and disorderly kiss, she experienced unprecedented pleasure.

The silver thread at the corner of the mouth drew a lewd line, and after a moment of separation, Chu Zhao moved closer to Ning Yuyao's lips.Knowing the taste by eating the marrow, at this moment, she just wants to immerse herself in such beauty.

Suddenly, a knock on the door awakened the two who had fallen into a dream.The good dream was shattered by the loud knock on the door, Chu Zhao lowered his face, full of displeasure and melancholy.Ning Yuyao bent her eyes and gave a chuckle. She reached out to wipe off the powder on Chu Zhao's lips, and said in a low voice, "We're not married yet, what's the rush?"

"But this—" It wouldn't be fun for anyone to be interrupted, right?Although the knocking on the door stopped, the sound of wandering footsteps outside was still clear.Under Ning Yuyao's urging, Chu Zhao tidied up the messy skirts, and went out to open the door with a straight face.When he saw Chu Xu's curious expression, he became even more angry.He stretched out his hand and pushed the person who was probing his head, and asked angrily: "What are you doing? There are guests in the mansion, if you don't go to greet them, why come here to make trouble?"

"Azhao, why are you angry?" Chu Xu saw the strong dissatisfaction on his sister's face, and was even more curious in his heart.What are the two of them doing in the room during the day?Even if you have something personal to say, it's not like that if you are interrupted, right?Unable to think of a reason, Chu Xu could only temporarily forget about it.Covering his lips with his hands, he cleared his throat and said, "The guests from Duke Qin's mansion, the most important ones have already left, but there is one person who specifically wants to see you and the princess."

Chu Zhao frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

Chu Xu said: "Your savior." If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have come here to inform him.

"Okay, I get it, brother, you can go." Chu Zhao left behind these words, and slammed the door behind him.Chu Xu flashed back and touched his nose. Monk Ruzhang Er couldn't figure it out. After a while, he shook his head and left.

If someone else could say they didn't see each other willfully, but Qin Yiren was different. Thanks to his help at the bottom of the cliff, he was able to save his life.Chu Zhao and Ning Yuyao packed up their skirts and walked quickly towards the reception hall.

"Young Master Qin." Seeing the young man with snowy hair in the hall, Chu Zhao raised his eyebrows, saying that he was not surprised would be a lie.Based on what she knew about Qin Yiren, he was not willing to leave the peach blossom forest at all, let alone come to Beijing.

As soon as Qin Yiren turned his head, he saw Chu Zhao and Ning Yuyao, restrained the astonishment in his expression, cupped his hands, and smiled slightly.

Chu Zhao said, "Why are you willing to come out of the Peach Blossom Forest this time? Is there anything important to come to the General's Mansion to find me?"

Qin Yiren frowned, sighed and said, "It's not a big deal, Lan Ling invited me out."

Chu Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "For Qin Yi?" Now it seems that Qin Yiren has something to do with the Duke of Qin's mansion.

Qin Yiren nodded, and said bluntly, "Yes."

Chu Zhao asked again: "You and the Duke's Mansion—"

Qin Yiren's expression was gloomy and gloomy. After a long silence, he responded, "A side branch of the Qin family, an unrecognized monster." His biological father, Chu Xihe, is the younger brother of Duke Qin.His mother was a lowly servant girl, and he was born with a strange disease from his mother's womb, and his hair was covered with white hair at a young age.He lived in Duke Qin's mansion for a while when he was young, at that time only Xiao Lanling was willing to talk to him and be his friend.

Seeing Qin Yiren's gloomy expression, Chu Zhao stopped asking about this matter, sighed inwardly, and said again: "What are you here for?"

Qin Yiren didn't answer directly, but responded, "How's your injury?"

Chu Zhao blinked and replied, "No problem."

Qin Yiren nodded: "That's good." Since he lived in seclusion in the peach blossom forest, he seldom interacted with others.He is not good at words, has an unpredictable temper, and is called a "strange doctor". Now that he saw Chu Zhao, what the people in the Duke's mansion asked him to say was still stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a word.

Ning Yuyao saw Qin Yiren's strange behavior, she tugged on Chu Zhao's sleeve, took a step forward, and asked, "Are you here with the people from Duke Qin's mansion? Because of yesterday's assassination incident? They asked you to come and see Chu Zhao's injury? At the same time, they also identified that this matter has nothing to do with the Duke's Mansion?"

Qin Yiren glanced at Ning Yuyao, nodded and said, "Yes."

Ning Yuyao responded: "But I think you should go directly to the Prince's Mansion to clarify this matter. Although Chu Zhao is also a victim in this matter, the General's Mansion decided not to intervene in this matter."

Qin Yiren, who had returned to the middle of the capital, was still a little embarrassed, he replied in a low voice: "I understand." After a while, he said, "There is one more thing."

Ning Yuyao asked, "What's the matter?"

Qin Yiren's eyes flickered, and he replied: "I heard that the dragon is a little sick, what kind of illness is it?"

Ning Yuyao was silent for a while, then shook her head and said, "I don't know." Although Qin Yiren had the kindness to save their lives, she still couldn't fully trust this man, especially after knowing his identity and hearing him take the initiative to ask about the palace. When receiving a message.Is this the benevolence of his life as a doctor?Or was it driven by people in Duke Qin's mansion?Even though she knew what Qin Yiren could do, Ning Yuyao did not dare to easily let him into the palace to diagnose her father's pulse.Not to mention, she couldn't see the emperor at all at this time.

Qin Yiren breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, if you need anything, just come to the Qin Mansion to find me."

Chu Zhao asked in surprise, "Aren't you going back to Peach Blossom Forest?"

Qin Yiren smiled wryly and said: "It would be great if I could go back." Once he stepped out of the peach blossom forest, he couldn't even think about leaving. He couldn't refuse Xiao Lanling's request, let alone watch Qin Yi die. , he can only return to the Duke of Qin's mansion and return to his own identity.

"Well, be careful yourself." Chu Zhao hummed lightly, and she didn't know what was the best choice.

After Qin Yiren left, Ning Yuyao said: "Regarding this matter, the Qing Dynasty will clear itself. Is Qin Guogong's mansion too eager to argue?"

Chu Zhao replied: "Because of Qin Yi's matter, they offended the prince. The fear of the assassin has deepened the bad impression again."

Ning Yuyao nodded and said, "It's possible, but it's also possible that the assassins were sent by people from Duke Qin's mansion, and they wanted the life of the emperor's wife!"

"The Duke of Qin's mansion is in such a hurry because some evidence against them has appeared." A clear voice came into the hall, and it turned out that it was Chu Hui who appeared.He said that he would not intervene in the investigation, but he would also get some useful information from the prince so that he could prepare a countermeasure.

Chu Zhao still thought that it was unlikely that Duke Qin would send an assassin, so she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What evidence?"

Chu Hui replied: "At that time, the people in Duke Qin's mansion were indeed nearby. They were sneaky and didn't know what to do. Someone saw the assassin enter a pavilion, and after a while, someone saw the second master of the mansion coming out of it." " After a pause, he smiled again, "I just came out from the Prince's side, and saw people from the Qin family passing by, I'm afraid there is something they want to cover up."

Ning Yuyao's eyes lit up, and she said, "Second Brother, what you mean is that even if the assassins were not sent by them, they are secretly planning something that cannot be known by others?"

Chu Hui's eyelids twitched when Ning Yuyao called out "Second Brother". He glanced at Chu Zhao who was calm and composed. These two people have already gotten used to the upcoming new identities?Hiding his thoughts, he said, "It's very possible. I don't know who Qin Xihe is meeting with?"

Ning Yuyao snorted, and replied: "In this situation, there is no need to think too much. If you offend the crown prince, you can only seek help from King Guang. The people in the Qin family are really—"

Chu Hui smiled slightly and said, "Princess, people don't kill themselves, even loyal old officials."

Ning Yuyao's expression froze, and her whole body suddenly became a bit more royal.Chu Zhao was listening to the conversation between the two. Seeing that Ning Yuyao had a different expression, he quickly glared at Chu Hui and said, "Second brother, what are you talking about? Have you finished all your errands? Are you still standing there?" What are you doing here?"

Chu Hui glanced at the younger sister who was protecting the princess, and sighed, "I'll go talk to your second sister-in-law. The war will start after a while. I don't know if I can come back."

"Second brother, you—" What kind of bastard are you talking about?Chu Zhao stomped his feet, and before he finished speaking, he saw Chu Hui walking out in a hurry.

Ning Yuyao frowned and said, "Second sister-in-law?" She remembered that none of the sons of the Chu family had married yet.

Chu Zhao sighed, and told about his elder brother and Wang Tongyun one by one.The speaker is sad, the listener sighs.It took a long time before they struggled out of this gloomy mood.Chu Zhao turned his head to look at Ning Yuyao, frowned and said, "If we also encounter this kind of unfortunate thing in the future, you must wait for me!"

Ning Yuyao glared at Chu Zhao, and said in a deep voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? There won't be any." The royal father promised her to Chu Zhao, so she was born as a member of the Chu family and died as a ghost of the Chu family. out of sight. "After the turmoil in Beijing dissipates, let's continue to travel south and travel around. The happy life of carefree life is far better than being a canary in a cage in the palace."

Chu Zhao nodded lightly and said, "Okay."

In the prince's mansion, the second son of the Chu family was sent away, and the people from Qin Guogong's mansion were welcomed again.When Ning Jue heard the news from his servants, he put down the scissors for decorating the flower branches, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and walked slowly towards the reception hall.His complexion is gloomy, like the invisible night, no one can see his mood.

The tea in the cup was steaming, and Qin Xiling's hand holding the cup was trembling slightly.His fingertips felt the heat spreading from the cup, but like a moth that knew the flame was hot but insisted on touching it, he kept holding the cup tightly in his hand.

"The prince is here!" The servant's sharp voice sounded, Qin Xiling was so startled that he almost knocked down his teacup.He hurriedly got up and bowed to Ning Jue to pay his respects, his expression full of fear and anxiety.

Ning Jue took a step forward and helped Qin Xiling up. With a smile as warm as a spring breeze on his lips, he said gently, "Duke Qin doesn't need to be polite." But the more so, the more uncomfortable Qin Xiling became.He took a step back, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The old minister is guilty! The old minister has no way to teach his daughter!"

Ning Jue quickly helped him up, and said in a gentle voice, "What is Qin Guogong talking about?" After a pause, he continued, "Qin Guogong is here for the miss of the Qin family, right? Guzheng wants to discuss this with Qin Guogong. thing."

Sitting on the pear flower chair, Qin Xiling raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Jue. He saw that when he was young like the emperor, if Qin Yi hadn't done such a thing, why would he have to make a choice in Duke Qin's mansion?With a deep sigh in his heart, he sat up straight and said solemnly: "Your Highness, please tell me."

"Gu's attitude is already very clear." Ning Jue said gently, "Miss Qin is the daughter of the Duke's mansion. With her status, why can't she find a good family? Marrying into the Prince's mansion is considered a side concubine." She is not a real wife, so I am afraid she will be wronged. Besides, after going through this incident, frankly speaking, Gu has a bad impression of Miss Qin. If she enters the prince's mansion, life will definitely not be as comfortable as she imagined I am somewhat responsible for this matter, so I would like to apologize to Mr. Qin."

Qin Xiling had heard his son and his wife talk about the prince's attitude a long time ago, how could he dare to force him?Now the words are even more clear, he can't just lick his old face, but also want to stuff Qin Yi into the prince's mansion.Besides, he didn't come here for Qin Yi today.Taking a deep breath, Qin Xiling said in a deep voice, "I understand."

"Qin Guogong, you just need to understand." Ning Jue smiled faintly. He took a sip of tea, raised his eyes to stare at Qin Xiling's face, and asked lightly, "Since Qin Guogong has come, there is one thing I want to hear. your thoughts."

Qin Xiling was startled, thinking that Ning Jue was about to bring up the matter of being assassinated at Duke Qin's mansion, sweating secretly, and pretending to be calm, he said, "Please tell me."

Ning Jue chuckled, and asked slowly, "What do you think about the war with Jin?"

Qin Xiling was slightly taken aback, and answered after a long while: "The world has been stable for a long time, once a war breaks out, the people will be caught in the flames of war again. It's just—" There was a trace of embarrassment on his face, and when he saw Ning Jue With an encouraging look, he continued, "It's just that there is news from the palace that the Holy Majesty seems to want to start a war."

"Yes." Ning Jue said with emotion, "Holy will is unpredictable." Even he couldn't see clearly what his father wanted to do. No matter how many times he entered the palace, he couldn't meet his father and queen. Make people angry and impatient!

At this moment, a person hurriedly broke into the hall. He crossed Qin Xiling, muttered to Ning Jue a few times, and then took out a stack of documents from his arms and handed them to Ning Jue.Ning Jue's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at Qin Xiling, and after a long while, his expression eased up.He waved his hand towards the man, said "Go down", and then re-examined Qin Xiling who was sitting below.

That seemingly unintentional glance was as cold as ice, and Qin Xiling felt as if he was in an ice cave.When Ning Jue's expression became gentle again, he didn't recover from it.

"Qin Guogong?"

When Ning Jue's deep voice sounded again, Qin Xiling suddenly woke up as if in a dream, and asked subconsciously: "That's just—" After a pause, he was startled again, and said with a pale face, "The old minister overstepped the rules. .”

"It doesn't matter." Ning Jue waved his hand, and replied unintentionally, "He's the one looking for news about the assassin."

Qin Xiling's eyelids twitched, and he pretended to be calm and asked: "Have all the relevant personnel been interrogated? Is there any result?" Is the stack of papers in the crown prince's hand the evidence?Is there any other thing brought out?He has always known that his younger brother Qin Xihe went to meet someone, and this matter was originally in his tacit approval, whether that person might be related to the assassin.Ning Jue's gaze seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.The longer the silence lasted, the more uneasy Qin Xiling felt, and even his eyelids twitched violently.

After a long time, Ning Jue smiled slightly and said, "There are clues. This piece of paper records clues. The relevant personnel have left what they know." Seeing that Qin Xiling's complexion suddenly turned pale, he changed his words suddenly. He said, "It's just that all of this is not important anymore. Gu suddenly figured it out. As long as the assassin is dead, it's fine. As for other irrelevant people and irrelevant matters, there is no need to pursue it." Ning Jue ordered his subordinates to take care of it. Come to the brazier, and in front of Qin Xiling, throw the stack of papers into the fire. "Duke Qin thinks it's lonely, right?"

Sweat flowed down his forehead, and Qin Xiling's heart was full of ups and downs.He didn't believe that the crown prince didn't know the contents at all. Was this done to reassure himself, implying a way out?He stood up and cupped his hands, his floating heart finally settled down, and he said loudly: "The prince is generous, it is really a blessing for the common people."

On this day, Qin Xiling stayed in the prince's mansion until after sunset before leaving.
