Situ Jing looked at Su Yangming calmly. It wasn't until the latter left with an angry face that he frowned deeply.
Leng Yue flashed out of the back room and said sarcastically: "It's really a mistake for your Majesty to choose such a person."
Situ Jing sighed: "My mother and concubine have the ability to recognize people."
Leng Yue looked at Situ Jing for a long time, then tilted her head and asked, "Why does the prince believe that I was set up? Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"
Situ Jing glanced at him with a smile: "Mu Xuan has been hanging around the door all day. Are you really not going to see her?"
Leng Yue paused for two seconds and changed the topic: "Su Yangming may not be able to save his life this time."
Situ Jing shrugged indifferently: "If you can't save it, you can't save it. He's stupid and disobedient. It would be better for me to raise a dog than him."
"Something happened to Su Yangming, and the prince may be implicated."
"It's appropriate to let Situ Chen win once. I understand your father's temperament. If everything goes too smoothly for us, we will be in danger."
Leng Yue smiled appreciatively and said: "Fortunately, I didn't lose too badly, and I also gained something."
"Tell me and listen"
Leng Yue crossed her arms and said: "That day I saw Huo Fox on the back hill of the Three Princes' Mansion. Someone sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion that night to get the account books. When I found Mu Xuan, the thief was already on the run, although I didn't see clearly who he was.
, but judging from the time, it should not be Firefox.”
"You mean..."
Leng Yue nodded: "The dark shadow we have been unable to find may finally show up. I suspect he was the one who killed Dong Shiyu."
"Has Chu Peiyun not found out the clues about Dong Shiyu's death?"
Leng Yue shook her head
Situ Jing said solemnly: "Then you should pay attention, or you can... forget it." Situ Jing interrupted himself, adjusted his tone and said: "There is one more thing to remember, my father really dotes on Situ Ningxiang.
, send her to Lingguo quickly, the sooner the better."
Leng Yue nodded without saying much. There was a hint of warmth in her heart. Situ Jing never asked him to get information from Mu Xuan. This was also an important reason why Leng Yue chose to stay.
In the Herborist Courtyard, Situ Ningxiang and Lingfei were bickering about where to sleep at night. Lingfei insisted on staying with Ningxiang in the Herborist Courtyard, but Ningxiang satirized her and said: "I guess you can forget it, so you don't have to sneak out to look for her in the middle of the night."
My brother, you are a healthy person, you will catch a cold if you run around!"
Finally, Situ Chen calmly ended the dispute: "Stop arguing, you two little ones, come back to Nuansi Pavilion with me."
This was what Situ Ningxiang wanted. She smiled and leaned close to Situ Chen and asked in a pleading manner: "What, aren't you afraid of violating the rules?"
Situ Chen held back his laughter and said calmly: "Rules are set by people. I am also planning to let Chu Peiyun live with you, next door to you."
"Brother! Why are you like this!" Situ Ningxiang was shy and anxious. She looked at Lingfei for help. Lingfei moved his eyes away and pretended not to see it.
"Let's go!" Situ Ningxiang pursed her lips and took Lingfei's arm, and stopped talking to Situ Chen. When she reached the door, she stopped and said to Lingfei: "Sister-in-law, you go first, I will follow."
Situ Chen finally couldn't help laughing, walked to Situ Ningxiang, turned his head and said, "Stop pretending, I have asked General Chu to go to the guest room to rest. He won't be able to see it no matter how much you pretend."
Lingfei couldn't help but laugh, causing Situ Ningxiang to glare at her fiercely.
Situ Ningxiang and Lingfei were nestled in the same quilt. She stretched out her hand to touch Lingfei's slightly bulging belly and asked curiously: "How old are you?"
Lingfei said with a guilty conscience: "It's been almost three months."
"How does it feel when you have a baby?"
Lingfei answered honestly: "I'm scared."
Situ Ningxiang chuckled: "It's like this when you're pregnant for the first time. Don't be afraid. Third brother is very caring."
Lingfei coughed lightly and made no comment on Ningxiang's statement. She changed the topic and asked: "Now that Dong Shiyu is dead, what do you think?"
Situ Ningxiang's face immediately became solemn, and she sighed quietly and said: "I really didn't expect that she would die."
Lingfei took her hand and said: "You didn't kill the person, why are you sighing?"
Situ Ningxiang said helplessly: "I often cursed her to death, but I didn't expect that she was really dead... It was probably me who cursed her to death. How come she died so silently? General Chu has been investigating for so long.
Sorry, no clues at all.”
Lingfei took the opportunity to ask: "What is General Chu's attitude?"
"What?"
"Dong Shiyu is dead and he doesn't have to fulfill the engagement. What is his attitude?"
Situ Ningxiang glanced at her: "What kind of attitude can he have? After all, she is his unmarried wife. He can't be happy, but he has told his father that Qingwei has misbehaved and is not worthy of being a consort."
"Then did he say he liked you?"
Situ Ningxiang lowered her head: "No"
Lingfei pursed his lips and encouraged her: "Since that piece of wood remains unchanged, why don't you go find him and explain your feelings?"
Situ Ningxiang immediately shook her head: "That's not right. The general likes educated and sensible girls. Marriage matters are all ordered by the parents. How can I be so frivolous about the matchmaker's words!" She suddenly remembered something and said to Lingfei: "Go up.
Don’t tell him what happened at the temple fair last time, he doesn’t know it’s us.”
Lingfei frowned and said, "Then how did he recognize you last time in Dong's Mansion?"
Situ Ningxiang said shyly: "He said he smelled my fragrance. We fell into the river that time, so he didn't smell it. Thank God."
Situ Ningxiang was intoxicated in her love, but Lingfei felt a little blocked in her heart. She turned sideways and asked Ningxiang: "Do you know Chu Peiyun?"
"Understood! That is the number one general in our country. Who doesn't know it? If you go out and ask around, there are countless women in the imperial city who want to marry him..."
Lingfei interrupted her impatiently: "I'm asking you to know about him as a person, not about his deeds. What are his hobbies, what does he like to eat, what colors do he like, what styles of clothes do he like, and under what circumstances does he laugh?
, under what circumstances will he be annoyed? What are his advantages and disadvantages?"
Situ Ningxiang looked at Lingfei dullly: "I haven't been here yet, how can I know this? But one thing I am sure of is that General Chu has no shortcomings."
Lingfei scratched her hair, feeling a little more worried. She always felt that this love was unreliable, but she was not qualified to comment, and she didn't know what love was...
One night's conversation ended in vain in such a discussion of propositions with no results. The next day, Lingfei opened his eyes and almost thought he was dreaming. The pretty figure in front of him was Huandong?
She got up from the bed excitedly and asked nervously: "Why are you here?"
Huandong's smile was as bright as a flower: "Don't worry, princess, Master Shaomei asked me to come here today, and I also brought you some snacks."
