Hearing the sound of the board outside, Mrs. Gu's eyes suddenly lit up. This Qi Lexuan seemed to listen to Ning Jiuwei's words. It would be better for Chenfeng to marry Ning Jiuwei, so that both of them would be in control.
"The Queen Mother, I agree with what you said, but..." Mrs. Gu slightly raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother and said.
The Queen Mother frowned and asked, "But what?"
"The one who is being punished today is Ning Jiuwei. If the two of them are really wronged, then it is Ning Jiuwei who should really make amends. So as long as Yun Xiao wakes up, my wife will agree to Chenfeng marrying Ning Jiuwei." Mrs. Gu He said and knelt on the ground.
After hearing these words, the Queen Mother paused slightly. What Mrs. Gu said was reasonable and reasonable. She couldn't fault it, so she asked: "Is what you said true?"
"My wife dare not deceive the Queen Mother." Mrs. Gu said.
The Queen Mother looked at Mrs. Gu and didn't know why she would rather choose Ning Jiuwei than Qi Lexuan. In the Queen Mother's heart, even if Qi Lexuan contradicted her, she felt that she was straightforward and simple, which was better than ordinary ladies. Don't know how much.
"Okay, since you said so, the Aijia won't force you. You can go down. The Aijia is tired." The Queen Mother waved her hand and said.
… … .
Ning Jiuwei was pinned down on the bench by two tall and thick nuns, and the pitch-black cane hit her hard on the back, making her groan.
Although Qi Lexuan's medicine was there, Ning Jiuwei's internal injuries were still not fully healed. Now that the cane was hit, she only felt a dull pain in her chest.
Qi Lexuan was standing not far away, watching the board fall on Ning Jiuwei one after another. She couldn't stop it. She felt extremely uncomfortable, her eyes were red, and she covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound.
"You tried so hard and you didn't eat?" Mrs. Gu walked out of the hall, looked at the two aunts beside Ning Jiuwei who were being tortured, and said.
Hearing these words, Qi Lexuan turned her head and looked at Mrs. Gu with cold eyes, clenching her fingers tightly. She was really afraid that she would poison Mrs. Gu to death if she didn't know how to control it.
Twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two... Qi Lexuan checked silently in her heart, fearing that if she beat her too much, she would shed tears while counting.
"Stop." A voice came from behind.
Qi Lexuan turned around and when she saw the face of the visitor clearly, she snorted coldly. She had no good impression of Mu's family now, not even Gu Qingchen.
Gu Qingchen looked at Ning Jiuwei who was lying on the bench and was sweating. He pushed the mothers on both sides away, took off his cloak and put it on her body, and picked her up.
"Jiuwei, I'm sorry, I'm late." Gu Qingchen looked at the weak Ning Jiuwei and said.
Ning Jiuwei glanced at Gu Qingchen weakly. Seeing that his originally gentle eyes were filled with guilt and distress, she frowned and said, "Put me down."
"Jiu Wei, believe me, I will never let you suffer like this again." Gu Qingchen hugged her tighter.
Qi Lexuan looked on without saying a word, while Mrs. Gu who was on the side looked at Gu Qingchen's nervous look and became more and more angry. She snorted coldly and said, "Gu Qingchen, put her down for me."
After hearing Mrs. Gu's words, Gu Qingchen paused, and then strode forward without looking back. Now he could no longer stand Mrs. Gu dictating everything to him, especially Ning Jiuwei's affairs.
"Gu Qingchen, stop here, are your wings stiff?" Mrs. Gu has never seen such a disobedient Gu Qingchen.
You know, if Gu Qingchen wants to return to Daliang, he can only rely on Mrs. Gu, so he follows Mrs. Gu in everything. He has never been so disobedient.
Gu Qingchen paused and said, "Aunt, I hope you won't target Jiuwei in the future. If something happens to her, I don't know what I will do."
"Shut up, Gu Qingchen, if you still want to recognize me as your aunt, put her down for me." Mrs. Gu was really furious. Thinking of Mu Chenfeng marrying Ning Jiuwei, her heart felt like it was swallowed. Like a fly.
Hearing Mrs. Gu's words, Gu Qingchen turned his head and looked at Mrs. Gu and said, "Aunt, you already know about my father, don't you?"
"What are you talking about?" A flash of panic flashed in Mrs. Gu's eyes.
Gu Qingchen nodded with some understanding and said: "So my aunt actually took me in because of my father's wishes. The reason why I have lived until now for so many years is to serve as a shield for others."
"Qingchen, did someone say something to you?" Mrs. Gu asked with a frown.
"Aunt, one month after the emperor's birthday is the wedding ceremony for the fifth princess. The emperor has promised that we will get married as soon as the princess's birthday ceremony is over." Gu Qingchen said in an inappropriate manner.
Hearing Gu Qingchen's words, Mrs. Gu frowned slightly, and then said, "In that case, I will have someone prepare the wedding for you."
"Thank you, aunt. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Gu Qingchen said and never stopped.
… …
In the study room, Qin Lin is practicing calligraphy. His technique is powerful and powerful. The words are like a flying dragon or a dancing phoenix. He is no less generous than anyone else, especially that point, which is like the finishing touch and full of momentum.
"Fourth Master, the news just came that Miss Ning was beaten in the palace just now." Bai Hua said with cupped hands.
The brush dipped in ink suddenly paused, and a large area of the rice paper was smudged, and a good calligraphy was ruined. Qin Lin raised his head and looked at Bai Hua, and asked expressionlessly: "What's going on? "
Bai Hua told Qin Lin the information he had learned one by one, and then said: "Gu Qingchen has taken Miss Ning to treat her injuries. She is fine."
Qin Lin looked at Bai Hua, then his eyes fell on the tree full of crabapple flowers outside, and said without any emotion: "Mu family, Mu Yunxiao..."
"Fourth Master?" Bai Hua looked at Qin Lin and felt something bad in his heart.
"Bai Hua, have the Mu family been very busy in recent years?" Qin Lin asked.
Bai Hua blinked and asked cautiously, "What does Fourth Master mean?"
"I heard that a new crown prince has been appointed in Daliang recently. He is very ambitious and secretly colluded with the Mongols. The border seems to be a little uneasy." Qin Lin said in a calm voice.
"My subordinate understands." Bai Hua nodded.
"Tell Lao Liu about this without leaving any trace. You don't need to take action." Qin Lin looked at Bai Hua, lowered his head and continued to practice calligraphy, but his voice reached Bai Hua's ears.
Bai Hua nodded and prepared to retreat. What his master was best at was killing people with a borrowed knife, and he would never let his hands be stained with blood.
"Send the Jade Dew Cream to Ning Jiuwei." Qin Lin said again.
"Fourth Master, you got this Jade Dew Cream from the Western Regions. There is only half a box left in Dali." Bai Hua said with some surprise.
Qin Lin raised his head, his eyes were cold, and he said, "Should the remaining half of the box be left for you to use?"
"I don't dare." Bai Hua shook his head and said.
"Get out." After Qin Lin finished speaking, he ignored Bai Hua.
