Chapter 96 Mid-count 3
In Ciyuan Hall, Yu Ziran was slowly peeling the walnut kernels with a walnut clip, put them into a small plate, and then brought the small plate to the empress dowager. She smiled and said, "Empress dowager, eat some walnuts."
The Empress Dowager is old and relies on Yu Ziran to accompany her in the palace all year round to relieve boredom. Therefore, she likes her very much, so she took it with a smile and said, "You also take a break. After peeling for so long, you should be tired."
Yu Ziran raised his arm to wipe the sweat on his forehead, smiled and said, "Empress dowager, Ziran is not tired. Dowager, please try it quickly..."
As he spoke, his body fell to one side and fell to the ground.
"Zi Ran, Zi Ran..." The Empress Dowager was scared and hurriedly shouted, "Come on, come on..."
Several little maids of honor helped Yu Ziran to the small couch. The empress dowager shook her body and shouted twice. Yu Ziran still closed her eyes. The empress dowager was a little flustered and hurriedly shouted, "Don't you hurry up and announce the eunuch doctor."
The little maid ran out in a hurry. After a while, she came in with a medical doctor carrying a medicine box on his back.
"See the empress dowager!"
The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, "Come and have a look. The child suddenly fainted as he was talking."
The imperial doctor immediately stepped forward and gave Yu Ziran's pulse. Strangely, Yu Ziran's pulse was peaceful and not strange. The imperial doctor had some doubts in his heart, but walking in the palace all year round naturally had his own set of survival rules. After thinking about it carefully, the imperial doctor stopped his hand and arched his hand to the empress dowager and said, "Go back to the words of the empress dowager. , Princess Ziran's body is not serious, but she is weak and needs more rest.
If you are so ambiguous, it is not easy to offend people. The imperial doctor has been working in the palace for so many years, and naturally he is well terrified in this way.
The Empress Dowager listened and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go and prescribe some tonic prescriptions."
The imperial doctor nod and lowered his head and retreated.
The Empress Dowager walked to Yu Ziran and looked at Yu Ziran's closed eyes and pale face. She felt a little distressed. This Ziran grew up by herself. She was well-behaved and meek. She was very pleasant. She also mainly betrothed her grandson.
Just thinking of this, Yu Ziran frowned and shouted in a low voice. The Empress Dowager was puzzled and hurried over and said, "Zidan, are you awake?"
Yu Ziran didn't seem to hear it, and continued to mutter, "My lord..."
The Empress Dowager heard it clearly and couldn't help sighing silently in her heart. This Ziran likes Yun'er's child in her heart, but she heard that Ziran and Yun'er had a bad time at the last chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. Does this child still remember what happened last time?
The Empress Dowager thought about it, stretched out her hand and patted Yu Ziran gently. She whispered, "Ziran, Ziran wake up..."
Yu Ziran slowly opened her eyes and saw that it was the empress dowager in front of her. She was shocked and hurriedly prepared to sit up. The empress dowager pressed her body that she wanted to sit up and whispered, "The imperial doctor said that you were weak. You'd better lie down."
Yu Ziran lay down anxiously, looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "Empress Dowager, I'm sorry to trouble you."
The Empress Dowager looked at Yu Ziran's careful appearance in front of her, and her heart was a little distressed. She patted her hand and said, "Zi Ran, I know that you like Yun'er. If you like Yun'er, you are naturally willing to be my granddaughter-in-law, but Yun'er, the child, actually went to the emperor and refused the meaning of my family. You I know that he is such a stubborn man. Don't be too sad. There is a sad family to make the decision for you. In addition to Yun'er, there are many good men in the north.
Hearing the Empress Dowager say that Changsun Yun personally refused the marriage in front of the emperor, Yu Ziran only felt more uncomfortable. In Changsun Yun's eyes, is it really worthless? Do you have to get rid of your relationship with yourself even if you don't hesitate to the Empress Dowager?
Thinking about it, Yu Ziran's face showed an unconcealed loss, and her long eyelashes drooped with tears.
When the Empress Dowager saw it, she couldn't bear it even more. Thinking that Yu Ziran was still thinking about Yun'er when she was in a coma, she couldn't help sighing that the world was really impermanent.
Yu Ziran lowered his head and thought for a while before he raised his head. He looked at the empress dowager and said, "Empress dowager, Ziran knows that he has no talent and no virtue, and is not worthy of the world, but Ziran is a person with flesh and feelings. Ziran really wants to know why the world refuses me. Ziran really wants to understand."
With that, she cried low on the silk pillow as if she couldn't help crying. The Empress Dowager was a little sad. Seeing Yu Ziran's sad look, she also couldn't bear to say, "Okay, I'll call him into the palace, so you can ask him face to face."
Yu Ziran raised his head and looked at the empress dowager with tears in his eyes. "Zi Ran thanked the empress dowager."
The Empress Dowager looked at her and said, "You can have a good rest. Yun'er will come later."
Seeing that the Empress Dowager went out, Yu Ziran sat up and smiled faintly at the corners of her mouth.
In the Dingxi Royal Palace, Changsun Yun was lying in front of the table to study, and he heard a noise at the door. He looked up and saw that it was the servant Yuankang beside him.
"What's the matter?" Changsun Yun frowned, "Don't you know that I hate others to disturb me when I practice writing?"
Yuan Kang has been with Changsun Yun for more than ten years. He has been in love since he was a child, and how can he not know this? After listening to Changsun Yun's words, Yuan Kang quickly bowed his head and said, "The words of the prince are from the palace, saying that the Empress Dowager announces that you will go to the palace, the sooner the better."
"Oh?" Changsun Yun looked up, put down the pen in his hand and said, "Didn't you say something?"
Yuan Kang shook his head. Changsun Yun thought for a moment and said, "Changing clothes!"
Before entering the palace, he must wear formal clothes. After Changsun Yun dressed neatly, he got up and got into the carriage from the palace and walked to the palace.
Xia Mengning made a decision. Early in the morning, she sent Zhulian to Yong'an Hall to reply. When she was having breakfast, she saw Zhulian walk into the house and said, "Miss, the master agreed and sent several nurses to follow."
Xia Mengning nodded and hurriedly finished the porridge. She knew that Wu Qing would spread her going to Jingming Temple to pray for blessings today. Naturally, the Ning family would wait for the opportunity to move. Thinking of this, Xia Mengning was a little nervous. She didn't know if today's things would succeed, but no matter what, she must go.
After using the meal, Xia Mengning ordered Zhulian to clean up her things. She sat in front of the diamond bronze mirror and looked behind her and said, "Zhulian, you stay in the house to dispense your aunt. I'll just take Jiu'er there."
Zhulian nodded and asked, "Miss, do you want to bring a cloak?"
Xia Mengning looked out of the window and said, "Well, it's late autumn, and the wind on the mountain will be bigger," she said, and then asked, "Jiu'er, where did you put my blue cloak last time?"
Jiu'er, who was combing Xia Mengning's bun behind her, was stunned when she heard the words and quickly said, "If you want to go back, I have packed it up and put it in the box in the north."
Xia Mengning nodded and caught the panic flashing in Jiu'er's eyes from the mirror.
After cleaning up, Xia Mengning got up and went out of the room with Jiu'er and walked out of the gate.
In the garden, Mother Wang whispered a few words to Ning with a happy face. After saying that, Ning looked excited, "Really, Xia Mengning is really going to Jingming Temple to pray for blessings today?"
Mother Wang nodded, and Ning smiled and said, "It seems that God is also helping us. Xia Mengning, a stinky girl, dares to oppose me, so I will let her not see tomorrow's sun."
After saying that, Ning asked uneasyly, "Are those people reliable? Will it be unreliable?
Mother Wang poured a cup of tea and handed it over. "Auntie, you can rest assured that the people of the Yan clan do things with money. As long as the money arrives, they will naturally complete the task."
Hearing what Wang's mother said, Ning was calm, looked at the scenery outside the window and prayed silently.
Xia Mengning sat in the carriage and swayed with her eyes closed. After a while, there was no movement in her ear. Then she opened her eyes and said, "Jiu'er, where are we?"
Jiu'er opened the curtain and looked at it and said, "Miss, it's at the foot of the mountain."
Xia Mengning looked out along the curtain of the sedan chair and smiled, "In late autumn, it's also great to walk on this mountain road and enjoy the fallen leaves."
Jiu'er nodded and said, "If you like it, I will accompany you when we go down the mountain."
Xia Mengning smiled and saw that the carriage had stopped in a secluded place at the foot of the mountain. Looking out, it was a steep mountain road. There would be people here to relax, but today there was only a faint fog, and there was no one.
The carriage walked in for a while and gradually stopped.
"Miss, let's get out of the carriage." Jiu'er said, and bento got out of the carriage first, pulled Xia Mengning with her hand, and also walked down.
The air in the morning was particularly fresh. Xia Mengning took a deep breath and quickly observed the surrounding environment.
What a good place to kill and throw corpses! Xia Mengning said secretly that she had been to Jingming Temple several times, but she couldn't find this place. A few steps forward, it was a steep cliff. Xia Mengning smiled secretly, but she was not nervous at all.
"Miss, let's go up." Jiu'er urged on the other side.
Xia Mengning was not worried at all, but slowly turned around and asked, "Jiu'er, look at the maple trees in the mountains, red and yellow. It's really a beautiful scenery. The last time you came to the incense, you said that it must be beautiful in autumn. Why are you coming now, but you don't want to appreciate it at all?"
When Xia Mengning said, she looked at the scenery on the mountain and bent her eyes slightly.
Jiu'er's heart thumped, and then smiled and said, "Isn't I afraid of missing the time of the young lady? I didn't look carefully."
Hearing this, Xia Mengning turned around with a smile and fixedly looked at Jiu'er in front of him. Jiu'er was looked a little strangely. She pretended to smile and said, "Miss, why do you look at me like this? Is there anything on my face?"
Xia Mengning shook her head, but said word by word, "Jiu'er has never accompanied me here to give incense, nor has she said these words."
After saying a sentence, Jiu'er in front of her changed her face. After a while, she smiled again and said, "Miss Xia is so keen and ashamed of herself."
Xia Mengning pulled out the soft sword around her waist almost in an instant and landed steadily on the neck of 'Jiu'er's. Her voice was not as gentle as before. "Say, where did you hide Jiu'er?"
'Jiu'er' just exhaled gently. As soon as she wanted to move, her skin was cut by the sword on her neck. 'Jiu'er' smiled and said, "Why does Miss Xia need to do this? You should know that no one will be interested in a girl. She is very safe now. It just depends on whether Miss Xia can do something?"
At this time, many people in black suddenly appeared all over their bodies at the same time. Xia Mengning turned her head and took a slight look. There were fifty or sixty people. "Ning is willing to pay silver. I guess that the killers of the Yan clan will cost hundreds of taels of silver. Ning must have given you a deposit first, thinking that you can definitely kill me. After that, she can advance more money from the account room to make up for the loopholes.
Xia Mengning's low voice surprised the man in black. How could such a little girl be so calm?
At this time, the 'Jiu'er' behind him had taken the opportunity to run away. Xia Mengning held a soft sword in her hand and looked disdainfully, "Do you want to come one by one, or do you want to go together?"
The mocking eyes immediately angered the people in black. They were all members of the world's first killer organization. How could they be despised by a teenage girl? Thinking of this, a man in black rushed forward. The sword was so fast that it only took a moment in front of Xia Mengning.
Xia Mengning squeezed her lips, and the soft sword took the opportunity to withdraw her waist. She retreated gently and retreated a few steps away. The man in black was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the teenage girl in front of her was so good, but then she saw the sarcasm in Xia Mengning's eyes, and then she raised her sword and rushed straight to kill Xia Mengning. In front of.
Xia Mengning did not avoid it. She secretly raised her strength on her left palm and slapped the oncoming man in black.
The man in black did not expect that Xia Mengning would take his sword with his bare hands. When he was about to exert force, he felt that his hands seemed to be firmly controlled. The sword in his hand was broken one by one, and the hand in front of him stretched out to him and grabbed his neck.
Everyone was a little surprised. Xia Mengning's eyes narrowed slightly, and her left hand steadily pinched the neck of the man in black, but there was still a quiet smile on her face, exuding a strong aura.
"The killer of the Yan clan, but you are." Xia Mengning smiled softly, and her left hand was instantly hard. She only heard a 'squeak' sound. The man's head in black turned outward to one side and was not angry.
Unexpectedly, he broke the man's neck!
A group of people in black were a little surprised. Such a little woman raised in a boudoir actually killed people without blinking an eye, and it only took half a move to capture her companion.
Xia Mengning smiled and said, "You don't deserve to dirty my sword." With that, he looked at the figure that came quickly in the distance and smiled and said, "Next, naturally someone will play with you."
Before the people in black noticed it, they felt a murderous atmosphere. Four masked men in black were coming with swords. When they saw Xia Mengning, they arched their hands: "It's too late to come down. I hope you can forgive me."
Xia Mengning gently opened her lips, "Leaving a few alive mouths."
As soon as the voice fell, the sound of a collision of weapons came. Xia Mengning retreated aside and leisurely enjoyed the performance.
