Xie Lin looked at Zhou Gu eagerly, wanting to hear him explain his doubts.
Zhou Gu stopped talking and said to Xie Lin: "What's the point of sitting here? Why not go out to race horses?"
Xie Lin looked at him and reminded: "Your injury is not healed yet."
"It's no longer a serious problem."
Xie Lin shook his head, "Well, the snow outside the city hasn't melted yet. If we go out to race horses, the horses won't be able to run, right?"
"Then go hunting." Zhou Gu said.
Xie Lin hesitated, "I think it's better not to give up. Didn't you listen to Su Rong's warning that day to take good care of your injuries? Since you can't let go of her, you have to listen to her words."
Zhou Gu was speechless.
Seeing that he had given up on leaving the city, Xie Lin suggested to him, "If you are depressed and want to vent, why don't we invite some brothers to go to the building to listen to music? Let the girls in the building play and sing the general's song?"
Zhou Gu was not interested, "The girl in the building plays and sings the general's song. Are you sure you are not insulting the general's song?"
King Ruian was really ill this time. He had already taken the decoction and was lying on the bed. His fever had just subsided and he was sweating.
Compared to Ning Yao, Ning Ze is not treated as well as Ning Yao. He has a broken finger and does not have an amulet in his stomach. Naturally, the food and drink are much worse than Ning Yao. The dark prison he lives in is not as good as a kennel and is shady.
And cold.
In the past, servants would bring the food in and then leave without saying a word. He didn't ask any questions, and he had no one to talk to.
After Zhou Gu and Xie Lin entered the mansion, Zhou Gu went to see King Ruian first.
Xie Lin suddenly became interested, "That's okay too."
Zhou Gu let him go when he heard the words, tapped his fingers on the table, stood up, and said, "Let's go."
He followed Zhou Gu curiously, "Why do you want to see them? The eldest prince's concubine will not end well. As for Ningze, with Marquis Nanping here, he will not be beheaded, but there will be no good end.
, even if he does well in the scientific examination, he will be expelled."
Zhou Guqing sneered, "The dignitaries are really looking for any kind of fun. In my opinion, Jing Zhaoyin's people are really derelict in their duty if they don't rectify the atmosphere in the Red Mansion Restaurant." After saying that, he squinted at Xie Lin and said, "You
Didn’t you never go to the Red Mansion before? Why? Now you have learned the habits of the dandies in the capital? Aren’t you afraid that King Ruian will break your legs?”
But he is afraid of death. It is impossible to commit suicide. It is better to die than to live.
"If you don't want to go back, go to your mansion. Before the case of the person detained in your mansion has been concluded, I will go meet the eldest princess and Ning Ze." Zhou Gu said.
"Let them do something other than the case." Zhou Gu said and walked out of the room.
Ning Ze has long since lost the look he had when he first met Su Rong in the eldest prince's mansion. Now he is dark, thin and pale. He has been locked up in a dark prison all day, and his spirit is about to collapse.
I almost thought of committing suicide.
However, Zhou Gu did not leave and entered the secret cell. Xie Lin could only hold his nose and follow him inside.
"Where are you going? Do you want to go back?" Xie Lin stretched out his hand to pull him, "No, how long have we been sitting here? We finally got out."
Xie Lin scratched his head, "This is just for fun."
The two of them left the teahouse and went directly to Prince Ruian's Mansion.
Today, only the eldest princess Ning Yao and her younger brother Ning Ze are imprisoned in the Ruian Palace. However, they are not imprisoned in the same place.
Zhou Gu nodded, "My lord, don't worry."
Prince Ruian's Mansion did not treat Ning Yao harshly, but provided her with good food and drink. Except that she could not leave the cell, everything she needed was suitable for pregnant women.
Xie Lin also felt similar to Zhou Gu.
Xie Lin muttered, "This isn't the time to go back home."
King Ruian didn't ask any more questions and waved his hand, "This is easy, go ahead! But you have to be more sensible. The child in her belly must be left to His Majesty's disposal, so as not to cause any loss of life."
Xie Lin had no choice but, "Let's go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go."
The cell door opened, and Zhou Gu entered the dungeon first. When he kicked in and out of the door, the smell was so strong that Zhou Gu almost took back his outstretched foot and turned around to leave.
Ning Ze was not chained or tied to a pillar. In the small cell, he could move freely, but this was the only limit to his freedom.
Xie Lin accompanied Zhou Gu to the place where Ning Ze was imprisoned. Zhou Gu planned to talk to Ning Ze first.
He regretted it so much. If he had known this day, he would not go to Beijing to take the scientific examination. Just like Ning Chi, if he did not come to Beijing to take the scientific examination, he would fight with Ning Chi at home and fight Ning Chi to death. His father
The title is his. Wouldn't it be nice for him to keep it?
Now that he saw Zhou Gu and Xie Lin, he still asked in a panic: "What are you doing here? Did His Majesty say that he would let me go?"
Xie Lin immediately apologized, "Brother, please don't. I've never been there before. The first time I entered the Red Mansion, brother, you took me to the third floor of Jiangning County. After returning to Beijing, I prepared for the scientific examination.
After the scientific examination, I was dragged by my father to investigate the case with him. How could I have time? I just heard someone said that the girl in the building played the song "General" which was sonorous and powerful. It was very interesting. I had never heard of it. I thought
I'm here to relieve your boredom. If you don't want to go, don't go. Don't betray me."
Zhou Gu looked at him and said, "Then you will come back or not. If you don't come back, I can go by myself."
Zhou Gu shook his head, "I want to meet the eldest princess and Ning Ze, please forgive me."
Because King Ruian was not sure whether His Majesty would keep the child in her belly, naturally nothing could happen to her until the imperial edict was dealt with.
Seeing Zhou Gu coming, he waved his hand and asked him, "Why are you here in Fuzhong? Are you here to play with Xie Lin?"
When he was arrogant in the past, he was favored by his father and had a sister who became the eldest prince's concubine. He could trample his elder brother Ning Chi under his feet. He felt that no one was as good as him. When he came to the capital, he didn't restrain his temper much.
He thought that the eldest prince and the second prince could control half of the sky by joining forces, but who could have imagined that before the results of the scientific examination were released, her sister was exposed, and he ended up like this.
Today he thought another servant was coming, but he didn't expect that the people who came in were Zhou Gu and Xie Lin. He had no interaction with these two people. Zhou Gu was from the East Palace, and the Ruian Palace, where Xie Lin was born, had always remained neutral.
If Fengling hadn't chopped off Xie Lin's fingers in front of him that day, but Xie Lin didn't change his expression, subverting his understanding. To be honest, he used to look down on Xie Lin, who grew up under the protection of his ancestors.
The idle little prince.
Zhou Gu looked at him with an expressionless face, "Ningze, do you want to live or die?"
Ning Ze's pupils were dilated and he was a little frightened, "Of course I want to live."
Zhou Gu looked down on him as he looked timid as a mouse, but often the more useless a person is, the more useful he is, because no one looks down on him, so they will look down on He.
To the effect, "If you want to live, just say whatever I ask you. If you don't say anything, or if you don't say enough, just wait to die!"
After he finished speaking, he said coldly: "Anyway, it would be easier to crush you to death than to crush an ant."
