[019]Concatched
Ning Yuan looked at the third love poem in his hand and frowned slightly. He sighed and stepped into the leisure pavilion. At the moment when he opened the door, he saw the master, who had always been quiet, standing alone by the bed, with his eyebrows locked and deep eyes, which was really rare for him.
Ning Yuan doesn't understand. Isn't he just a princess from a neighboring country? What does the master need to make such an uncertain decision? Looking at this poem, he twitched the corners of his mouth and heard that Xiliang's folk customs were extremely conservative. Why was this former goddess princess so bold?
If I didn't know the inside story, I'm afraid I would have believed that it was an infatuation for the prince.
"Son, the third song."
Gong Zichen turned his head and swept the dark color on his face. His eyes fell on the paper with great interest. His eyes swept the corners of his mouth and raised a smile, "Do you dare to fight with you?"
Looking at Gong Zichen's footsteps, Ning Yuan frowned. He had never heard of the princess's name. If it was understood that he had rarely moved before, it could be said, but the words of a princess of a country were written like this. How should he explain this?
Out of Xianyi Pavilion, I saw Ningzhu coming over with an invitation in her hand. Gong Zichen looked over and knew one or two. Sure enough, Ningzhu said, "Sir, the invitation sent by Miss Rusu. The twenty-day of the twelfth lunar month is the fiftieth birthday of the Iron Gate Lord. Please go there."
Gong Zichen took over the post and was looking at it, but he saw a little girl running over very fast, gasping and looking at Gong Zichen and others, with a rather strange face.
Ningzhu Ningyu is the big girl in the house. The rare servants are so flustered, "What's wrong? So rude in front of the prince!"
The little girl finally spoke, and when she opened her mouth, she made everyone look pale. "Son, go and have a look. Miss Chu is going to drink Juezi soup, and now she has fainted!"
Peerless soup!
Gong Zichen closed the invitation he hadn't read yet, frowned slightly, and there was a sense of danger all over his body.
Ning Yuan Ningzhu looked at each other and followed Gong Zichen's footsteps to the Yun Pavilion. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw the table and pen and ink. The servants looked cautious, but there was a discovery in the eyes of Gong Zichen, and some had a faint joy.
Chu'er was in a hurry. Looking at Chu Yuan lying on **, she didn't know what to do. The sound of Gong Zichen's slightly heavy footsteps had come. Her face changed slightly. She looked worriedly at the woman and retreated aside.
Gong Zichen walked into the Chuyun Pavilion for the second time. There was incense burning in the room. I don't know what the fragrance was. The taste was clear and pleasant. He felt very comfortable. He waved his hand, and everyone retreated.
Chu Yuan only thought it was acting, but she felt that a sharp look fell on her, which made her restless, like a pillow needle.
"Oh--"
Chu Yuan opened her eyes in surprise and looked into Gong Zichen's interested eyes. He smiled a little, not like the calm and silent him before. But at this time, he looked at her and said, "You touched the heart of Prince Xiliang with such a love poem, and finally got a title, thousands of miles away. The end of the marriage?"
Chu Yuan doesn't know where his smile comes from. Her goal has been achieved, so she doesn't have to pretend anymore.
And what he said, if it was the original Feng Qingge, I'm afraid that he would feel sad. For her now, there is naturally no reason to pay attention to her.
She got up and got out of bed, first saluted the prince Chen, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for saving my life."
She meditated slightly, and she continued, "Although I don't know what value I have to make the prince save me, I believe that the prince's intention is not always raising me in Mingjian Villa for free. If I can, I want to know what I can do for him."
Gong Zichen was really surprised. This woman was smarter than he thought and more direct than he thought.
Seeing that Gong Zichen had nothing to say, Chu Yuan coughed twice. Now it is really painful to speak, but she must put herself in a favorable position in this direct way. The person in front of her is obviously a master of chess, and she doesn't want to be played in the game again.
"What other doubts do you have? Presumably the prince also knows that Chu Yuan has lost her memory. For a person whose memory is blank, just give orders, right?
Gong Zichen's eyes locked her deeply, as if she wanted to see through her heart, and Chu Yuan just stood there with an indifferent smile to let him see. Finally, Gong Zichen said, "You want to see me these days to tell me this?"
Chu Yuan nodded and said, "If you don't believe what I said, we can make a deal at worst."
Gong Zichen raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Chu Yuan took a sip of the tea on the table. After swallowing it very hard, he slowly said, "I want to know, whose hand was the siege that night?"
Gong Zichen pondered slightly, but Chu Yuan didn't have to wait for him to answer. She smiled to herself, "In that place, at that time, I was dismissed by Daqin again. Only Xiliang and Dayan had something to do with it, but it was impossible for Dayan to attack me there. Speaking of it, I'm afraid it's still Xiliang, my home country."
Chu Yuan didn't know how much Gong Zichen knew about the conspiracy. At this moment, when she saw the subtle expression on Gong Zichen's face, she also knew that her guess was correct. She sighed and said with a sad expression on her face, "Now Daqin has abandoned me and Xi Liang killed me. I have nowhere to go. Naturally, I have to rely on the prince. I only Ask for the same."
Gong Zichen narrowed his eyes slightly and waited for her to continue.
Chu Yuan looked at him and said, "I just want you to protect my safety, but I can't limit my freedom except for your orders."
Gong Zichen stared straight at her. Chu Yuan felt that layers of oppression were coming, but she did not retreat and looked straight at Gong Zichen until the corners of the latter's mouth rose beautifully and nodded, "It's done."
Chu Yuan was surprised that he agreed so quickly, but he thought that he might be controlled by others in the future and felt that this deal was fair. She worked for him, and he protected her well.
Chu Yuan's eyes were slightly bright. As she said, now she is helpless. The deal with Gong Zichen may be just the first step for her to protect herself.
And such a night did not solve the biggest question in Chu Yuan's mind. She still knew nothing about Gong Zichen, but from this day on, she was no longer restricted, and she was also waiting. What was the first thing that Gong Zichen asked her to do?
