After dealing with the squires and the four major families in Runzhou, Tang Ning originally wanted to go to Su Mei to talk to Su Mei before going back, but was told by Gongsun Ying that insect eggs had been added to the food eaten by these squires tonight.
Insect eggs are naturally born by Gu insects. When eaten, they are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. Once they enter the human body, they will hatch in the shortest time, absorb nutrients from the host, grow rapidly, and become mature bodies in half a month.
.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance. Suspicious people like Prince Qian, who do not know how to win people's hearts and only know how to control them with worms, are destined to be unable to accomplish anything great.
After listening to Gongsun Ying's words, the squires all turned pale, and they retched while picking at their throats, but they did not reveal anything.
"Sir, please help me!"
"Sir, save us!"
…
Seeing that their hands that had just grabbed his throat were about to hug his thigh, Tang Ning hurriedly dodged away, looked at Gongsun Ying, and said, "If you can solve it, help them solve it..."
After that, he left in a hurry, not giving those people a chance to continue to entangle.
Prince Qian and others were the main culprits of the Jiangnan Rebellion. Although the three major families were recruited by him, they had not had time to do anything. These squires were kept in the dark and there was no need to punish them severely.
After this incident, the Su family has been completely destroyed. The other two major families have also been severely damaged and will not be able to recover for at least ten years. Under the heavy pressure of the local government, Jiangnan will be stable for at least several decades.
At this point, his mission for this trip has been successfully completed.
It can be said that his mood tonight has been full of twists and turns, from the peak to the bottom and back to the peak again, with ups and downs and ups and downs. Only now has he settled down. He needs to find a place to relax.
In the room, when Tang Ning walked in, Su Mei was sitting in front of the bed in a daze.
Too many things happened in Xiao Mansion tonight. Tangning looked at her and asked, "Would you like to go back to the inn with me tonight?"
Su Mei looked at him, smiled brilliantly, and did not answer. She just turned her head and gestured to the seat next to her, and said, "Sit down."
Tangning stood in the room, but did not walk over immediately.
Su Mei looked a little strange tonight, different from any other time in Tang Ning's memory.
Su Mei rolled her eyes at him and asked, "What, are you afraid that I will eat you?"
After talking about this, Tang Ning could no longer stand here. He walked to the bed and sat down next to her.
Su Mei turned her head and looked at him and asked, "Why are you sitting so far away? Sit closer."
Strangely enough, when the two of them slept on the same bed and had close contact with each other, Tang Ning didn't feel anything wrong. Now, just sitting side by side, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit ambiguous.
He coughed lightly, stood up, and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. I've been busy all night, so I'll go back early and take a hot bath..."
When the prince of Guizhou was killed with his sword just now, his whole body was dominated by anger and he didn't feel anything. Now he was feeling sick in waves. He just wanted to take a hot bath comfortably and put his clothes in it.
Replace everything inside and out.
Su Mei looked at him and said: "I asked Xiaolian to prepare hot water. It's still early, so why not wash it here."
Tangning became more and more aware that something was wrong in the atmosphere and said, "It's troublesome to boil water, so there's no need to bother Xiaolian."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door, and a maid came in and said, "Girl, the hot water is ready."
…
Tang Ning was lying in the bathtub. The room was filled with mist and it was hazy, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
Taking a bath without Qing'er beside her, she always felt incomplete. After realizing that she actually had such thoughts, Tang Ning secretly blamed herself in her heart. She had only been in this world for a few years, and she had completely fallen into the temptation of feudalism.
.
After tonight, things in Jiangnan should come to an end. A lot of things happened on this trip, and there were a lot of twists and turns. Fortunately, it ended happily. Until this moment, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He took a bath almost every night, and today he just wanted to take a dip to get rid of the bad luck. After the water temperature in the tub dropped, he planned to get out.
However, just as he stood up holding the bathtub, there was a sound at the door, so Tangning had to sit back down.
Su Mei walked in carrying a wooden bucket and asked, "Is the water cold?"
Tangning covered her important parts and said, "I've washed it, there's no need to add more water."
Su Mei was minding her own business, adding water to the tub, and said, "The hot water is already gone, so why not soak for a while longer."
While adding water, she asked casually: "Why did you kill the prince? Is this your first time killing someone?"
Tangning asked: "He is plotting rebellion, shouldn't he be killed?"
"Tell the truth."
"..." Thinking of what just happened, some emotions emerged in Tangning's heart. She covered the key parts with a towel, rubbed her swollen eyebrows, and said, "He said you were poisoned by an incurable poison and acted on impulse.
…”
Su Mei didn't ask any more questions, walked behind him and replaced Tang Ning's hands with hers.
While gently massaging Tangning, she asked, "Why are you so nice to me?"
Tangning asked, "Isn't it the same for you?"
This time there was no response from behind him. Tang Ning closed her eyes and enjoyed her massage. Su Mei's hand seemed to have magic power. After pressing it for a while, an uncontrollable feeling was produced in his body.
of tiredness.
Su Mei stood behind him, a pair of slender hands moving slowly on his head.
There was mist in the room, and her mind was also a little hazy.
She looked down at Tang Ning. At this moment, deep in her memory, she remembered the little girl who was abandoned by her parents, suffered a lot, and almost starved to death. She had to practice kung fu for more than ten hours every day, and was not allowed to eat or sleep if she couldn't learn the bewitching skills.
The girl, the two figures that have existed deep in her heart for more than ten years, are gone forever...
…
Tangning didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up again, he was already lying on the bed.
The moment Tangning opened her eyes, she suddenly woke up.
He sat up from the bed suddenly and found that he had already put on his clothes, except for a robe. It was obvious that he was lying naked in the bathtub just now...
"Emotional ups and downs are not good for your health." Su Mei poured him a glass of water, walked over and said, "So I let you sleep for a while."
Tangning looked down and said, "My clothes..."
Su Mei waved her hand and said, "Family, you're welcome."
"I..." Tang Ning did not take the initiative to ask in the end, because Su Mei had already given him the answer.
Except for Xiao Ru Xiaoyi, he had never even had a "frank meeting" with his third wife, Tang Yaoyao. However, Su Mei didn't seem to care at all. As far as Tang Ning knew, she was still a young girl. Could it be that
Has she really brought herself into the role of sister?
Tangning stood up and said, "It's late, I'm going back..."
"Before we leave, don't you want to see me dance?" Su Mei looked at him and asked, "You have mentioned it many times."
Tangning paused, turned around, thought about it, and nodded, "It's okay to take a look..."
Everyone in the capital knew that Miss Su Meisu was good at singing and dancing. Tang Ning had only heard her play the flute, but had never seen her dance. The only reason she used to reject Tang Ning many times was that her dance was only for the future.
Her husband watched it. After a few times, Tangning stopped mentioning the matter.
Tangning looked at her in surprise, had her rules changed?
Su Mei closed the door, turned around and looked at him, her figure rising gracefully.
"Floatingly whirling back to the light snow, sending off the wandering dragon with grace. The willow behind the little drooping hand is weak, and the clouds are about to come to life when the train is slanted."
Regarding women's dance, Bai Juyi described it this way in "Dance Song of Colorful Dresses and Feather Clothes".
But looking at Su Mei's graceful dance, what came to Tang Ning's mind was Li Bai's "Qing Ping Diao".
"The clouds think of my clothes, the flowers think of my face, and the spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is thick. If I hadn't seen you on the top of a group of jade mountains, I would have seen you under the moon on Yaotai."
There is no doubt about Su Mei's beauty. No matter male or female, anyone with normal aesthetics will not deny her beauty. In Tang Ning's eyes, her beauty has no limit. Whenever he thinks he has seen her at her most beautiful,
, she will soon refresh her knowledge...
He looked at Su Mei's dance. At a certain moment, his body suddenly shook and he opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Not only because she was shocked by her beautiful dancing posture, but also because with every move she made, a piece of clothing on her body peeled off...
When the last piece of clothing fell off, she had already walked up to Tang Ning, looked at him with a blushing face, and asked, "Am I beautiful?"
