Chapter 26: thank

"Who allowed you to come in? Get out!"

Ning Tan was furious, grabbed the quilt and wrapped it under it.

He only cared about hiding his embarrassment, but the woman under him was exposed from head to toe, and the scene was very exciting immediately.

Yu Xinyi glanced at the naked woman, it was really Zhao Yuming.

Relieved, she advanced instead of retreating, and pulled down a fluttering curtain in front of the prince, covering Zhao Yuming, who was still delirious.

Although Yu Xinyi didn't like Zhao Yuming, and felt even more disgusted with this woman after the Chunsou incident, she always remembered that she was also a woman.

Fortunately, it wasn't Sui Sui who was lying on the couch, if so, the curtain would have been twisted around Ning Tan's neck.

Ning Zizhuo was also dumbfounded, probably afraid that Ning Tan would become angry and murderous, so he deliberately loudly made a rescue: "Master Yu, have you brought the red sandalwood Buddha beads of Huang Cousin?"

After finishing speaking, he walked in the door, pretending to be surprised and asked: "Hey, His Royal Highness is here too?"

Ning Zizhuo mentioned the title of Princess Deyang, and Ning Tan swallowed it with murderous intent, and scolded: "Go away!"

"What's the noise?"

Down the corridor, the voice of Princess Deyang's majesty came steadily.

Everyone fell silent for a moment and stepped aside one after another.

Ning Tan was a licentious and wanton woman, besides the emperor, she was most afraid of this aunt. He hurried down to the bed and grabbed his clothes to cover his body, but he was caught by the blanket and fell to the ground with a thud.

And Zhao Yuming was delirious, humming and twisting his body to wrap around him.

Princess Deyang helped the female official forward, and what she saw was such an unsightly picture. The agarwood Buddha bead bracelet in his hand was cut off, and the beads splashed all over the ground.

On the carriage, Yu Lingxi re-tied her hair into a bun and adjusted her dress and skirt.

Because she refrained from having **** with a man, her body still had the effect of the medicine, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. With one hand, she put her cheek against the lingering heat to cool down, and with the other hand, she held a plain silver hairpin, with the sharp point of the hairpin stuck in her palm, to maintain her calmness.

Probably because her breathing was too forbearable and short, Ning Yin, who was driving the car in front, noticed the clue, and stopped the car with one hand holding the rein.

"Why don't you leave?" Yu Lingxi opened her mouth, only to realize that her voice was extremely hoarse.

Ning Yin raised the curtain of the car, his eyes fell on her face for a moment, and Fang said: "Miss, wait a moment."

After saying that, he jumped out of the car and walked towards the corner shop.

Yu Lingxi had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, so she was left alone in the car at this time, so she was inevitably a little nervous.

Even she herself didn't know when it started, not only was she no longer afraid of Ning Yin, she even trusted Ning Yin more.

Soon the carriage sank, and Yu Lingxi raised her eyes alertly, and saw Ning Yin came in with the curtain of the car lifted, holding a package of things wrapped in oil paper, sitting upright opposite her.

Ning Yin opened the oiled paper bag, and just as Yu Lingxi was about to ask him what he was going to do, a pill was stuffed into his mouth.

Her fingertips brushed against her soft and bright lips, Ning Yin paused for a moment, and some waves passed through her calm and cool eyes.

He lowered his hand and gently stroked the pulp of his finger that had touched her lips.

In the claustrophobic warehouse, the short but hot exchange of lips and tongues gradually became clear, and came to mind little by little.

"what?"

Yu Lingxi held the thing in her mouth, her cheeks were bulging, and she frowned slightly in disgust, "It's so bitter!"

Ning Yin found it interesting, she could endure the torture of the aphrodisiac, but she couldn't bear the slight pain on the tip of her tongue.

"Licorice pills. Although it's not an antidote, it can make Miss feel better."

As he spoke, he glanced at the wound on Yu Lingxi's left palm, and said calmly, "It's better than the hairpin in Miss's hand."

Was discovered by him.

Yu Lingxi curled up her fingers uncomfortably, but Ning Yin grabbed her tightly.

"Open your hands."

He tapped her clenched fingers with his index finger, and waited until the delicate fingertips opened like petals, then picked up a clean cotton cloth, wiped off the broken blood scabs bit by bit, and sprinkled the golden sore medicine he just bought .

From Yu Lingxi's point of view, one can clearly see his slightly drooping eyelashes and straight nose bridge, without sickly paleness and crazy ridicule, and never wearing a disguised mask, just cleaning his face coldly and quietly. medicine.

It is the tranquility and peace that I have never had in my previous life.

Yu Lingxi couldn't help slowing down her breathing, and the licorice pill in her mouth survived the initial bitterness and melted into a slight sweetness.

"Miss, did you hurt your hand for the second time?"

Ning Yin applied the medicine very slowly, her gaze fell on her delicate palm, and she spoke suddenly.

Yu Lingxi gave a low "um", wondering why he suddenly mentioned this.

There was still some effect of the medicine left, and such a slow and slow movement was really exhausting, she pursed her lips and moved slightly, reminding: "Okay."

Ning Yinfang withdrew his gloomy gaze, wrapped a bandage around her, and tied an elegant knot.

He asked, "Can you hold on?"

Yu Lingxi bit the licorice pill and nodded.

She wants to go back and see with her own eyes, what kind of sinister and ugly faces are hidden under the Zhao family's weak and deceitful appearance.

Princess Palace.

As soon as Yu Lingxi got off the carriage, she saw Qing Xiao jumping over the parked carriages and horses to greet her, and said anxiously: "Miss!"

"Qing Xiao."

"Where did the lady go? The subordinates have never seen the lady leave the mansion, but why did they come back from outside?"

Saying that, Qing Xiao glanced at the simple carriage that Yu Lingxi was riding in, and saw a piece of ochre-colored clothes faintly protruding beside the carriage, like the clothes of a servant.

Before he could see who the servant was, the man jumped into the carriage and drove away.

"I can't explain a few words, where's Auntie?" Yu Lingxi asked.

"Madame and Eldest Miss are still in the mansion to inquire about Miss's whereabouts, I'll go and tell them right away."

"Need not."

Yu Lingxi called Qing Xiao, patted her slightly hot cheek, and said calmly, "I'll go in and find them myself."

Before the steps, female relatives came out in twos and threes, everyone looked strange.

"Tsk, I didn't expect Zhao Yuming to be this kind of person, to do that kind of thing in the quiet room of the Buddhist hall, and... having **** under the golden statue of the Buddha."

As they passed by, Yu Lingxi heard their deliberately suppressed discussions.

"Didn't you see? When Mrs. Zhao heard the news and rushed away, her daughter shamelessly pulled His Highness the Crown Prince and refused to let go. In front of His Highness the Eldest Princess, Mrs. Zhao's face turned purple with shame, and she even dumped Zhao Yu." Zhao Yuming woke up after two slaps in the face..."

"If you want to fly on a branch and become a phoenix, that's not the way to do it! Her Royal Highness is the most important thing to worship the Buddha, and it's also her birthday banquet. If it is so ridiculous, Her Highness must be furious. In my opinion, the Zhao family is about to end."

"Shh, stop talking..."

The female relatives went to the end, boarded the car and left.

Zhao Yuming... cheating?

Yu Lingxi was stunned.

She knew that without Zhao Yuming's internal response, it would be impossible for Zhao Xu to enter the heavily guarded eldest princess's mansion and kidnap herself.

Could it be that Zhao Yuming tried his best to do such stupid things?

Just as he was thinking, a panicked call came from inside the mansion: "Sui Sui!"

Madam Yu came out quickly, with more anxiety than blame on her face, and said in a low voice, "Where did you go, child? Why are you blushing so much?"

"I'm fine."

Yu Lingxi held Madam Yu's hand, "I just heard someone say something happened to my cousin?"

Madam Yu paused for a moment, and sighed, it was hard to say.

Instead, Yu Xinyi, who came out with Mrs. Yu, pulled her sister to a corner where no one was around, and explained: "Zhao Yuming had an affair with the Prince's Buddha Hall, and was bumped into by all the female relatives. The Tian family lost all face. Things are going crazy."

Yu Lingxi's anger was completely extinguished, and she thought, this retribution must have come too soon.

A flash of inspiration flashed across her, and she remembered that Ning Yin came to rescue her today wearing the ocher clothes of a servant.

In other words, before Ning Yin rescued her, she had already been to Princess Deyang's mansion.

Could it be...

She turned her head suddenly, searching for Ning Yin's direction.

But the horse-drawn carriages and guests passed by, but there was no trace of the young man.

"What are you looking at?"

Yu Xinyi waved her hand in front of Yu Lingxi's eyes, Ying frowned and said, "Where have you been at this hour? You scared me to death, do you know?"

Mentioning all the experiences just now, Yu Lingxi lowered her gaze: "Sister, I can't explain clearly in a few words, let's talk when we go back."

Kunning Palace and the Buddha Hall were silent.

Empress Feng, dressed in plain clothes, stood quietly under the lotus seated by the Buddha statue, holding a torch and lighting more than a hundred candlesticks on the copper frame in the hall one by one.

The warm yellow light illuminates her plain face, like a Buddha statue sitting on a lotus, neither sad nor happy.

Everyone in David knew that Empress Feng was a kind person who ate vegetarian food and worshiped Buddha, and was reluctant to step on ants to death. It was because of this that she got close to Princess Deyang, who also believed in Buddhism, and thus successfully helped Ning Tan to be the crown prince. .

"The prince is still kneeling outside Chengde Hall?" she asked.

"Yes. Your Majesty beat the crown prince ten times with his own hands, and punished him to kneel outside the palace. It can be seen that he was really angry."

The **** Cui An still wore the ocher clothes and jade belt, raised his hand to hold the candlelight for the queen to protect against the wind, glanced at her expression and said: "Your Majesty was so angry that his old illness relapsed, he just took the medicine and lay down, and he often mentioned other things in his words." The few princes who died early seem to have the meaning of mourning."

The queen continued to light the last candlestick as if she didn't hear it: "I heard that the prince did absurd things at the birthday banquet of Princess Deyang, and you were also involved."

Cui An's expression changed, and he immediately pulled up his robe and knelt on the floor tiles: "The minister was confused for a while, seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince was obsessed with the second girl Yu, thinking about it day and night, so he wanted to follow the prince's wishes and introduce the second girl Yu for her. I have identified the wrong person..."

"It's Miss Yu Er again."

The queen put down the fire starter heavily, and said suddenly, "I remember, General Yu is your old acquaintance?"

Cui An was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly understood the deep meaning of the queen: "Yes, I understand."

"Also, since the emperor expressed disappointment with Tan'er, he chose a docile and pleasant concubine from among the concubines in the Eastern Palace, and stopped her child-avoiding medicine."

The queen knelt on the cushions and put her palms together towards the Buddha statue who was compassionate to all sentient beings, "There should be a little grandson under my knees."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of porcelain breaking.

It turned out that the servant girl who delivered the tea accidentally overheard this conversation, stepped back in a hurry to avoid it, but accidentally tripped and knocked over the teacup.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" The maidservant in the palace turned pale with fright, and fell down on the ground.

A small insect flew into the lampshade and couldn't get out no matter what.

Seeing that she was about to be burned to death, the queen reached out to open the lampshade and let the poor bug go.

She didn't seem to notice the tea water spreading on the floor tiles, and said to Cui dimly: "Go and clean it up."

Cui An nodded and stood up, walking to the side of the little palace maid.

After a short scream and the muffled sound of the body falling to the ground, the hall returned to calm.

Empress Feng folded her palms and chanted sutras, with a compassionate and peaceful expression on her face.



At dusk, the Yu Mansion hung up lanterns.

Yu Lingxi took the medicine and rested for a long time before her body recovered completely.

With a clear mind, she began to sort out today's events from beginning to end.

Why did Zhao Xu kidnap her?

How could the prince and Zhao Yuming, two totally irrelevant people, hook up in such a ridiculous way? If Zhao Yuming wanted to climb high and enter the East Palace, he shouldn't choose the way of sexual intercourse, it's too stupid.

Thinking of when I woke up in the carriage, with Zhao Yuming's purple silk cloak on my arm, combined with why the prince secretly appeared in the princess' mansion, a conjecture gradually surfaced.

Is it possible that Zhao Yuming disguised her as himself, sent her out of the princess mansion without anyone noticing, and handed her over to Zhao Xu for disposal, but was mistaken by the prince?

It was ridiculous, but besides this, she couldn't think of any other explanation.

With a sinking mind, she sent someone to invite her parents, brothers and sisters, and then walked towards the hall with confidence.

The lamp was shaking, and Yu Lingxi was sitting behind the desk, telling how she was sent out of the mansion by being stunned, and how she was brought to Fuyun Temple by Zhao Xu, trying to damage her reputation.

She only concealed the part of her Chinese medicine.

Otherwise, apart from the worry and distress of the parents, it is hard to explain why Ning Yin appeared there at the right time.

Even so, the usually calm father still slapped the table angrily, the hard mahogany table was actually cracked.

Yu Xinyi was the most impulsive to protect his shortcomings, and immediately took the knife and said: "I'll kill this villain!"

"Sister, don't." Yu Lingxi hurriedly got up to stop her.

Yu Xinyi was so angry that his eyebrows were raised: "Sui Sui, do you still want to plead for this kind of scum?"

"Since it's scum, wouldn't it be cheaper to kill him?"

Yu Huanchen said with a livid face, "Wait for me to tie him up and skin him and cramp him in front of the Zhao family."

"No. It's not that I want to let Zhao Xu go, but..."

Yu Lingxi lowered her voice, "I'm afraid, you can't find him anymore."

After Ning Yin rescued her, he didn't see Zhao Xu. If he hadn't fled in fear of crime, there was only one possibility:

Zhao Xu is probably no longer in the Yangshi.

Yu Lingxi said: "The Zhao family is nothing to be afraid of, the one who is really difficult is the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace."

Hearing this, General Yu clenched his iron fist tightly.

If it is true as the daughter said, the prince wanted to tarnish his daughter because of the discord in the marriage, and misunderstood Zhao Yuming...

Is such a future emperor really worthy of his allegiance?

Is it worth pushing the eldest daughter into the fire pit again?

"We have made great military exploits and shed blood on the battlefield, but the prince is thinking about how to swallow my power and bully my sister. It is really a great irony in the world!"

Yu Xinyi's hand holding the scabbard trembled, and he sneered, "Is such a prince worthy of our protection?"

"Xin Yi!" General Yu shouted heavily, "Speak carefully."

Yu Xinyi took a step backwards: "Father!"

What's the use of saying this now?

He, Yu Yuan, is indomitable, loyal and courageous, so he is destined not to be a traitor. What's more, the current sage has never treated the Yu family badly.

General Yu's temples were slightly frosted, his cheeks were biting, and he said tiredly for a long time: "The princes died young, the third prince is stupid, and the life and death of the seventh prince are unknown. Today's David, only the one in the East Palace..."

The father's heavy sigh fell in his ears, and Yu Lingxi's eyelashes trembled slightly.

She knew that this was an opportunity, and she could remind her father and brother logically to bury a lead for the Yu family's future.

She raised her clean eyes and said softly: "Dad, have you ever thought about it, what if the Seventh Prince is still alive?"

The point goes so far, but it stirs up waves in the silent hall.

It was late at night.

Yu Lingxi came out of the living room, and on the way back to her room, she saw a person standing in the corridor.

Without much hesitation, she retreated from the maid and walked towards Ning Yin alone.

Ning Yin seemed to expect that she would come to find him, and there was no disturbance on her face, she still looked at the night sky with her hands behind her back.

The weather is bad tonight, the stars and the moon are dim, and the sky is pitch black. I don't know what he is looking at with great interest.

Yu Lingxi noticed the dark color on his clothes, and couldn't help asking: "Where have you been, why are your cuffs wet?"

"Go fish."

Ning Yin hooked her thin lips, with a meaningful coldness, "Take it out and crush the bones."

Yu Lingxi didn't believe that he really went to catch fish.

Just as she was thinking, Ning Yin suddenly said, "I killed the man."

Yu Lingxi tilted her head and was stunned for a while before realizing that he was talking about Zhao Xu.

Afraid?

Do not. There is even a hint of joy.

Yu Lingxi stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and said calmly, "If you do many unrighteous actions, you will kill yourself. That is his retribution."

Ning Yin finally stopped looking at the sky and stared at Yu Lingxi for a long time.

"Miss won't scold herself for leading wolves into the house this time?"

Ning Yin seemed to laugh, and said casually, "I was still guessing how many whips Miss Tonight would whip me?"

Xue Cen's dispute that night when he fell into the lake, how long will he have to bear the grudge?

Yu Lingxi had no choice but to give him an annoyed look: "I'm just such a person who doesn't distinguish between good and evil? Can a villain with a wicked mind compare to Xue Cen who has no fault?"

"Oh, yes, no one can compare with Miss Xue Erlang."

I don't know which sentence stabbed Ning Yin, not only was he unhappy, but his smile became colder and colder.

After the man took off his disguise, there was really no flattery left.

"I didn't come here tonight to talk to you about this." Yu Lingxi could only change the subject.

"Miss, what do you want to say?" Ning Yin didn't raise her eyes.

The night wind in late spring and early summer passes through the corridor, and the shadows of the trees are sparse.

Yu Lingxi's hair was covered with furry warm light, her beautiful eyes were clear, and she looked at the tall and powerful young man beside her.

After a moment, he smiled and said, "I want to thank you."

Ning Yin's eyes twitched, and her black eyes looked over, like an unfathomable deep pool.

Yu Lingxi took half a step back in front of him, raised her palms and folded her sleeves, bowed and bowed her knees, and saluted generously.
