Chapter 41 Concubine's Mind 2

Xia Mengning returned to Zhuzhi Garden and ordered Zhulian to prepare hot water. Then she removed her head full of pearls, prepared to take a bath and change her clothes, and adjusted her breath by the way.

After bathing, Zhulian wiped her hair with a soft towel. Xia Mengning drank the freshly made wine dumplings sent by Jiu'er and asked, "Where's Wu Qing? Why didn't you see her as soon as you came back?"

Zhulian curled her lips and replied respectfully, "I don't know. Anyway, she always has no character. She always runs here and there."

After saying that, he took a look at Xia Mengning again, and then said, "Is there anything wrong with her? Do you want me to look for her?"

Xia Mengning shook her head, "No, I will come back then."

When Zhulian saw that Xia Mengning was silent, she continued to wipe Xia Mengning's hair without saying a word. Jiu'er came in and handed it to Xia Mengning with a wooden tray and said, "The sixth attendant next to the master just sent this ointment, saying that the master specially told him that the young lady was scratching the wound. Maybe she could get better faster."

Xia Mengning raised her head, looked at the small white bottle on the tray, smiled and said, "Let's put it there. How's it going?"

Jiu'er put down the tray and replied, "I couldn't go to Yong'an Hall to find out. However, on the way back, the steward's mother-in-law and the people below were talking, saying that the young lady would get married in a few days. The master didn't even want to pick a day, so he carried a small sedan chair away."

Xia Mengning clapped her hands, stared at her jade hand carefully, and smiled, "The Fang family has been planning for many years. Such a rich daughter has come to such an end. It's strange that she doesn't hurt her to death. Jiu'er, you should be careful these days. Don't be harmed by the people sent by the Fang family."

Jiu'er nodded. Xia Meng touched her half-dry hair and said to Zhulian, "You all go down. I want to be quiet and don't come in casually."

The two took the order. As soon as they left, Wu Qing from here came in. Xia Mengning frowned, "Why did you come back? Didn't I tell you to protect Jiu'er?"

Wu Qing wiped a handful of sweat, walked to the table and sat down, poured a cup of tea, and seemed to be not satisfied with it. He simply raised the teapot and drank it loudly.

"I want to come back earlier. If you know what I saw, you won't urge me to come back soon." Speaking of this, he seemed to be a little surprised. He looked at Xia Mengning and asked, "Are you really hurt?"

Xia Meng gave her a white look, "If I don't do enough of the trick, how can I knock down Fang and the general's wife?"

Wu Qing looked at Xia Mengning with a look of 'you are a fool'. Without saying a word, she came to straighten her body and put it into her body. The warm current wantonly opened all the meridians in her body. Xia Mengning only felt that her whole body was extremely comfortable. The soreness and discomfort that had been lost because of the pain of falling. After a quarter of an hour, Wu Qing took his strength and sat on the stool on one side.

"Eat the king's salary, bear the king's worries." Wu Qing saw Xia Mengning's face, hurriedly blocked it back with such a sentence, and said, "I went to the general's mansion of the town today and knew the current situation of Fang Yijun. His mother was about to die, and the side room would be carried up to be the main room. Fang Yijun was afraid that the son of the side room would support his rights, and he was also afraid. My father will not be able to resist the pillow wind, so the only solution for today is to grab the big tree of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xia Mengning adjusted her sitting posture, and her body is much better. Now she is playing with the small white bottle sent by Xia Chuanyuan in her hand. Hearing Wu Qing say this, she raised her head and said, "Isn't it Fang Yijun who wants to help her sister and niece regain the favor of her father? To stabilize his position and let the Duke of Zhen and the side room be afraid of themselves?

Wu Qing looked at Xia Mengning with a convincing face, "You are really smart and good. That's what Fang Yijun is doing, that's why he asked his wife to come here to help the Fang family. They also plan to kill Cheng Gu tomorrow, so that Xia Mengxi can't get married, and then plan again."

Xia Mengning pulled the small mahogany round table on the couch with her nails and said slowly, "Then what else did you find out?"

"Fang Shi has known about Jiu'er. Fang Yijun sent two old mothers who can do martial arts and have sneaked into the Prime Minister's mansion. He wants to catch Jiu'er and disturb your life by the way."

Xia Mengning said 'Oh' and didn't say anything more. Wu Qing waited for a long time before she couldn't help asking, "Aren't you afraid that they will kill you?"

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Isn't there you still? Besides, Fang has to deal with his precious daughter's affairs first. How can he take care of us?"

"Uh-huh!" Wu Qing nodded, stood up and walked to Xia Mengning. He touched his chin and said, "You are usually very powerful. You still have to rely on me to protect you at the critical moment."

Xia Meng glanced at her and continued, "Although we know their motives now, we still can't take it lightly. If she wants to get rid of Cheng Gu, we have to help her."

"Help her? Are you crazy?" Wu Qing listened to Xia Mengning's words and couldn't help roaring.

Xia Mengning smiled, stretched out her index finger and tapped Wu Qing's arm. She smiled skillfully, "Think about it, if Fang wants to get rid of Cheng Gu, what is the most worried about?"

Wu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Of course it was discovered." Speaking of this, he suddenly realized: "Is it that you want to..."

Xia Mengning nodded with a smile, "Since she wants to have a good future for her baby daughter, we have to help her."

Wu Qing nodded, and Xia Mengning stretched out her hand and waved to her, "Come here, and we will..."

After saying these words, Xia Mengning asked again, "Do you understand?"

Wu Qing nodded. Xia Mengning rubbed her eyebrows and said, "You go out first and closely monitor Fang's every move. I think she will do it tonight. You should be careful."

Wu Qing turned around and walked out, then turned around and walked back. Hesitantly said, "There is one thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Why have you become so indecisive? It's not like you in the past. Just say something." Wu Qing hesitated for a while, and still said, "Today, I was almost found in the general's mansion. It was the men of the king of Dingxi who saved me. He also told me that it was the prince who asked him to protect the safety of everyone in the bamboo garden."

Xia Mengning's smiling face suddenly condensed. After a while, she slowly said, "Okay, you go down first." Wu Qing seemed to have something else to say, but looking at Xia Mengning's face, he shook his head and retreated.

Hearing the 'squeak' outside the door, Xia Mengning slowly withdrew her sight. The jade wrench on her thumb was still rubbing the palm of her hand quietly. Xia Mengning couldn't help raising her hand and staring at it carefully. How wise Changsun Yun was that she could not see her little trick. But he is still willing to let himself go. Does it mean that he is really moved by himself?

A cold wind blew. Xia Mengning stood up and walked barefoot to the window to close the window. As soon as she closed the window, a gentle voice came from behind her, "Why are you walking barefoot on the ground?"

Xia Mengning turned around and saw the gentle Changsun Yun standing in front of her, thinking of what she had asked Wu Qing to find out. Her heart was just indifferent. She looked at Changsun Yun and said, "I've met the prince."

Changsun Yun stepped to the small couch and sat down. He put his hands on his knees. Seeing that Xia Mengning was still standing, he said, "Come here."

Xia Mengning was unmoved, "The body of the prince, the little girl dares not go hand in hand with you."

Changsun Yun didn't say anything more, but suddenly he came down and bent down. With a hook of his long arm, he picked up Xia Mengning.

"You let go of me..." Xia Mengning was so angry that the pink fist couldn't help falling on him like raindrops.

Changsun Yun put Xia Mengning on the couch as if he had no feeling, grabbed her hand and said, "Are you angry?"

Xia Mengning turned her head and said, "What did the prince say? If you want to know what I have done, you can ask Wu Qing. Why did it take two times to come here to ask me?"

Changsun Yun's eyes were bent, and his fingers slowly rubbed the palm of Xia Mengning's hand. "I didn't know Wu Qing, but it was just my teacher's father. He wrote to tell me that I had a little sister who had learned to go down the mountain. Now she is in the Prime Minister's mansion. I just knew that if you complain about me about this, it is It's not too unreasonable."

Hearing this, Xia Mengning felt a little better, but she still said, "It was my brother and sister. No wonder Wu Qing always asked me to be more considerate of you."

Changsun Yun touched his chin and couldn't laugh or cry, but he still said gently, "When did you see it? Was it the last birthday banquet?"

Xia Mengning nodded, "Wu Qing is a little smart, but she is a neurotic person. Before the last birthday banquet, she didn't know all about you and me, but she could persuade me to get along well with you. Today, she lost her internal strength for me. Her words were directed at you everywhere. At first, I just doubted that today But it's very certain. You must have known each other for a long time.

Changsun Yun smiled and scratched the small bridge of Xia Mengning's beautiful nose with his fingers. There was a lot of appreciation between his tone, "It's worthy of being my future concubine. I'm really thoughtful."

Xia Mengning didn't say anything. The two were silent for a long time. Xia Mengning said, "Although the son of the world is valuable, it is not polite to break into the lady's boudoir this night."

Changsun Yun smiled, and his eyes were as bright as stars in an instant, "Oh? Is that so? How can I remember that I didn't break into the lady's boudoir, but just to see my future wife.

Xia Mengning blushed in a moment, but Chang Sun Yun said with a smile, "It's not polite for me to break into the boudoir at night, but you still talk to me here. You said I'm not polite, so what about you?"

Xia Mengning didn't know what to say for a moment, but suddenly looked down at Changsun Yun's feet, blinked and smiled, "Have you heard of a sentence?"

Changsun Yun was attracted by Xia Mengning's cunning and agile look, but casually replied, "I hope to hear more about it."

Xia Mengning secretly picked up her skirt and exposed her feet. With a light effort, she kicked the eldest grandson Yun, who was half squatting in front of her, to the ground and said softly, "I've heard that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes."

Changsun Yun understood, but he sat on the ground motionless, but pretended to say, "I've been taught. It turns out that this barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes is the truth."

Xia Mengning shook her hand proudly, "There's no need to say it today. I'm tired. Please come back."

Chang Sun Yun slowly sat up from the ground, went to the couch and sat down. "You just kicked me, and you want to drive me away?"

"What does the prince want?" Xia Mengning raised her chin and looked at Changsun Yun with a fearless face. "The prince is a seven-foot man, can he still see like me, a little girl?"

Changsun Yun shook his head, "Before I said anything, you blocked me back first. Ninger, you are not like this. Nowadays, although you are still not very enthusiastic about me, I am still very happy, because you can at least show the side you failed to show in front of others in front of me."

Xia Mengning was stunned. Is it true that when she became so presumptuous in front of him, she could be unprepared at all and confide herself out.
