"Do you know what crime she committed?" Tangning pointed at the old woman's nose and said sternly: "She colluded with the prairie people to assassinate the princess on the way to see her bride, with the intention of destroying the marriage between Chen and Chu. Everyone in the court was paying close attention to this matter.
, you asked me to let her go?"
In fact, few people in the mission had seen Gongsun Ying's true face, and no one knew the identity of the middle-aged woman he captured. Tang Ning could arrest her whenever she wanted and let her go whenever she wanted.
The problem is that he doesn't want to let go.
She wanted to assassinate Zhao Man on the way to Chu State, and wanted to harm Li Tianlan on the way back. Now in the capital, she dared to talk nonsense against Su Mei in prison... and did these three things that Tang Ning couldn't bear.
, and wanted him to let her go and have her big dreams of spring and autumn.
I didn't kill her on the road, but I was still worried about whether she had something to do with Su Mei, but now I no longer have any worries.
"Okay, you've seen me too, let's go." Tangning waved to the old woman and walked out of the cell.
Although the old woman didn't look very good, she still believed Tang Ning's words. When she walked out of the cell, her eyes flashed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Su Mei looked at her and asked, "Who is Gongsun Ying?"
The old woman said calmly: "She is your uncle, we have not seen each other for more than ten years."
Su Mei asked: "Why did my uncle collude with the grassland people and destroy the Chen-Chu alliance?"
"These are not questions you should ask." The old woman looked back and said, "She must be rescued."
Su Mei looked at her with an indifferent expression and asked, "Do you want to rob the prison?"
The old woman thought for a while and said, "Go and ask Tang again and see if he can do anything."
Su Mei rolled her eyes at her and asked, "This is a head-turning matter. Do you think he will listen to me?"
The old woman frowned and said, "He is also a man. Is there a man you can't deal with?"
Su Mei sighed and said: "It's not like you don't know that my charm skills have no effect on him. I can deal with everyone else, but I can't deal with him."
"I want you to try again." The old woman said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we must not let her fall into the hands of the Chen Kingdom."
Su Mei shrugged and said, "It's up to you."
Tangning came out of the county office and went straight home.
He has no plans to go to the Ministry of Rites recently. Anyway, the imperial court has no arrangements. This trip is not easy. Recuperating at home for ten days and a half is not excessive at all.
Qing'er and the maids in the house were still discussing the gifts he brought back from Chu this time. Tang Ning didn't have many friends in the capital, so the things she bought were only things that women like. In addition to giving them to Tianranju, there were also
Some were given to the girls in Hongxiu Pavilion, some were given to Princess Anyang's mansion, and the rest were all distributed to my family.
He went to sit with Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi for a while, then went directly to the study.
After being away from the capital for so long, it’s time for Tang Renzhai’s book to be updated.
A figure walked in from outside the door, helped him refill the tea, and asked softly: "Master, do you need a slave to rub your shoulders?"
Just by the sound of her voice, she knew it was Shishi. Among the six maids playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and wine, Shishi was the most responsible one. She had been with Xiaoru for a long time, and even her personality had become similar.
Tangning was about to write a manuscript when she shook her head and said, "Go and do your work. I will call you if anything happens."
Shishi responded and exited, then walked in again and said, "Master, Miss Su is here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Mei walked into the study.
Shishi made another cup of tea for her, and then slowly exited.
She used to come and sleep in Tangning's study often. She walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at a picture on the wall, and said: "Although this wild cursive painting only has two characters, the strokes are continuous and natural.
There are not many people in the world who can write such crazy calligraphy. Judging from the style, it should have been written by the Emperor of Chu, Li Shun. His calligraphy is not easily given away. It seems that you have gained something else from your trip to Chu."
Tang Ning discovered very early that Su Mei was actually a talented woman. She read a lot of books, and even Li Tianlan couldn't match her level of knowledge.
However, she never showed these things in front of outsiders. In addition to her figure and appearance, others only knew that she was the most beautiful woman in the capital, and they did not know or care about her talents.
Tangning explained: "I happened to save his life."
Su Mei asked: "The majestic Emperor Chu, I only gave you two words for saving my life?"
Tangning shook her head and said, "You don't know, that old man is very stingy."
Su Mei asked: "Doesn't he have a daughter?"
Tangning smiled sheepishly, "We..."
Su Mei raised her eyebrows: "You guys?"
Tangning smiled awkwardly, stood up, and changed the subject: "Are you here to plead for that woman?"
It was impossible for Tang Ning to let Aunt Gongsun go like this. Along the way, in order to express his resentment, he had tormented her a lot. This woman's bewitching skills were mysterious and unpredictable. If he let her go, he would have to sleep in fear every day.
Not stable.
"Who said I came to plead for her?" Su Mei rolled her eyes at him, put a box on the table, and said, "I gave this epileptic Gu to you for self-defense so that no one will know about it.
I feel like it’s a poison, but I don’t have the ice silkworm Gu yet. I’ll give it to you when I catch it later.”
Tangning did not refuse and nodded: "Thank you."
"Thank you!" Su Mei reached out and hit him on the head. Tang Ning rubbed his head, looked at her and asked, "She only regards you as a tool to do things for her, why don't you want to leave there?
"
Su Mei smiled self-deprecatingly, "If I leave Tiantianju, where else can I go?"
"If you are willing, this is your home." Tangning looked at her and said seriously, "You have forgotten that we are a family."
Su Mei stared at his eyes for a long time, then burst out laughing, tapped his forehead, and said: "If I lived here, what would others think? The most beautiful woman in the capital was killed by you, Mr. Tang."
After taking me home, do you want to become the enemy of all the men in the capital?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm used to these things, so I don't think it's anything. She saved my life. I just did something for her..." Su Mei glanced at Tang Ning again and turned around.
He stood up, waved his hand and said: "I'm leaving..."
Tang Ning did not see that the moment she turned around, the most beautiful woman in the capital, who always showed her smiling face, had ripples in her eyes.
Natural residence, in a small courtyard.
"There's nothing he can do?" The old woman looked at Su Mei, snorted coldly, and said: "He doesn't want to help, right? Don't forget, there is someone living in your backyard. If this news is revealed, he will be
If he deceives the emperor, the Tang family will definitely not give up when the time comes. I wonder if the emperor will protect him!"
The smile disappeared from Su Mei's face, she looked at her and said, "How dare you!"
The old woman looked at her with a cold face and said, "Do you know who you are talking to?"
Su Mei's face was as cold as ice and she said coldly: "If this matter is leaked, you can take care of it yourself in this natural residence!"
The old woman's face suddenly flashed with murderous intent, and she said in a deep voice: "Are you threatening me?"
"That's right." Su Mei looked at her and said calmly: "I'm just threatening you."
The old woman said in a dark voice: "Just for one man, what he can do for you, how many people in the capital can do it for you?"
Su Mei thought of the way those people looked at her and their pure eyes, and said coldly: "Are they worthy?"
The old woman stared at her, finally closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and turned away.
After so many years of planning, Su Mei is extremely important to her and irreplaceable. Without her, her many years of planning will be ruined.
"Miss!"
Xiao Tao ran over crying, hugged her tightly, and sobbed: "Miss, is it worth it for you to do it for him..."
Su Mei held her shoulders, looking a little dazed, with many scenes emerging in her mind.
"Mom, don't leave me, don't leave me Mei'er, I will be obedient. If I don't eat food, I will give it to my brother. I will go find food, don't leave me, okay..."
Fifteen years ago, in the endless stream of refugees, a little girl in ragged clothes hugged a woman's legs, shouting hoarsely, her vision blurred by tears.
"Mei'er, don't blame mother. If I don't leave you, my father, mother and brother will die..." The woman just looked at her, opened her hand, and walked away without looking back.
.
…
"Trash, you can't learn such a simple move, what's the use of raising you?"
Ten years ago, a middle-aged woman waved her hand impatiently. The girl fell to the ground, got up with difficulty, picked up the long sword on the ground, gritted her teeth and said: "Master, I will work hard to learn kung fu, don't leave me...
…”
The expression on the middle-aged woman's face softened, and she said calmly: "You are naturally charming, and if you practice your charming skills to such a high level, any man will fall at your feet. From today on, you will practice for two more hours every day!"
…
"It is said that Miss Su's beauty is unparalleled, and she truly deserves her reputation."
"If you can listen to Miss Su's song, you will have no regrets in this life..."
"She is indeed the most beautiful woman in the capital..."
Five years ago, naturally in the middle, the woman looked at the many men around her. Even though she was extremely disgusted with their eyes, she still had a charming smile on her face...
Su Mei stared ahead blankly, her expression in a daze, until a pair of clear eyes appeared in her mind.
"Girl, please respect yourself..."
"Miss Su, can you...can you speak properly?"
"Girl, don't pretend to be so crisp in your tone. I'm not used to that..."
She couldn't help laughing when she thought of their first meeting in Tiantianju, and then they slept together in the Red Sleeve Pavilion. After she woke up, he brought over a bowl of hot white porridge.
"If it were you, I would do the same."
"Who asked her to punish you by kneeling for so long?"
"Nonsense, you are my sister!"
Fragments kept flashing through her mind, until the last scene that emerged was Tang Ning looking at her in the study, with a serious expression and sincere eyes.
"If you want it, this is your home."
Xiao Tao raised her head, looked at Su Mei, and asked with sobs: "Miss, is it worth it?"
"You are still young and don't understand this." Su Mei hugged her tightly and said with a smile: "If he doesn't care about me, he is my medicine; if he cares about me, he is my life..."
Rong Xiaorong says
It's the beginning of the month, give Miss Su Mei a monthly vote!
