"Don't cousin need to go back and take care of the princess?" Ning Yuxuan looked at Ning Mingjie and asked.
Ning Mingjie shook his head and said, "It's a little far away, why not go back and look for them tomorrow morning."
There is nothing in the Chenghuang Temple, only dry firewood and straw left by some travelers. Gui Bai tidied up the surrounding area, and the few people could barely stay here for one night.
"Where's the thing on your face?" Ning Yuxuan asked calmly.
Ji Man pursed her lips and said, "In order to escape from their hands, I tore it up."
"Then what should you do when you go back?" Ning Yuxuan frowned.
"I have to find someone else to do it." Ji Man said helplessly, "Fortunately, I have the blueprint for making the mask last time, as long as there are craftsmen in the capital who can make it."
"I know a craftsman who happens to be good at this." Ning Mingjie whispered, "You can find a house to stay in for a few days when you return to Beijing, and come out after the mask is ready."
Ning Yuxuan glanced at him: "Cousin came back from Jinzhou, should I go to face the saint first? The Ministry of War still has some matters to hand over, so I don't need my cousin to worry about her affairs."
Ji Man nodded along: "Thank you, General."
Ning Mingjie laughed: "I'm too much involved, Yuxuan don't mind."
Don't mind, he has nothing to mind, Ning Yuxuan sat down against the pillar, glanced at Ji Man who was safe and sound, and turned his head lightly.
Riding horses all the way from the capital is also very tiring.
Ji Man looked down at the straw tips on the ground in a daze, and quietly leaned against Ning Yuxuan, but he talked to her and asked her what was going on today, and Ji Man answered casually.
This person didn't know what mood he was in at all, Ning Yuxuan sneered, also felt sleepy, leaned against the pillar and fell asleep. Ning Mingjie and Gui Bai also found places to sleep next to each other, only Ji Man kept his head down, thinking about things quietly.
The surrounding area was silent, Ji Man raised his head to look at Ning Yuxuan, and sighed long.
"I can't love, I can't wish, I can't ask, I can't even die..." Someone sighed softly in her mind: "How much better are you than me?"
"Don't laugh at me." Ji Man replied to her in a low voice: "I won't go as far as you."
Will not.
It was just dawn and none of them had a good rest. Ning Yuxuan continued on the road with Ji Man, while Ning Mingjie went back to pick up Princess Kang Yuan. When we parted, Ning Mingjie looked at Ji Man very worriedly for a long time, and couldn't help telling Ning Yuxuan: "Hide her well."
Because of this instruction, Ning Yuxuan didn't give Ji Man a good look along the way, took her to another courtyard, and then went back to her room in the Hou Mansion to find the drawings.
It took two full days to make the human skin mask. During these two days, the Changjun King returned to his fief in peace, and the new emperor, who was in a cold war with the Queen, is said to have re-entered the Queen's Palace. Ning Yuxuan seemed to be very busy and hadn't visited her, but he always brought her some delicious food.
Two days later, after finally getting the umbrella again, as soon as Ji Man stepped out of the other courtyard, a little maid grabbed her sleeve while crying.
"Master Ji, go to the mansion to see Miss, Miss..."
A face was sobbing that all the five senses were wrinkled together, and it was impossible to see who it was. Ji Man was stunned for a long time before realizing that this was Zhu Yurun's personal maid, Zhu'er.
Something happened to Zhu Yurun. In just these two days, the six-month-old child disappeared, and the whole person was almost lost.
Ji Man's face turned pale with fright, and hurriedly followed Zhu'er: "How could this happen?"
Zhu'er wept and said: "It's the heartless person who caused it, it's all him, what a beast! He knew that the lady was pregnant, but he didn't care about the lady, and pushed the lady down the stairs of the restaurant with her hands."
Ji Man was dumbfounded, and his heart was a little heavy, but he still said with a straight face: "I told her to give up earlier, and a man will definitely not accept a child like him."
"Does the master look at Miss like this?" Zhu'er looked at her with red eyes, crying even more fiercely: "Everyone misunderstands Miss, she doesn't know how many things she has taken on herself, how do you men know, you don't know of!"
She was a little agitated, and Ji Man hurriedly comforted her: "Go and have a look first."
What will Zhu Yurun do? That big fat girl with a silly smile, who has no rules and no sense of propriety, doesn't care about anything when she sees Qian Yingchen...
Thinking of her chubby smiling face, Ji Man actually felt very uncomfortable.
It's just destined to be a supporting role in a novel, why is she uncomfortable
The stillbirth had been induced, and Zhu Yurun seemed to have not slept all night. She leaned against the bed with her eyes open, and there were deep dark circles under her eyes.
"Why is the master here?" Zhu Yurun took her hand and tears fell, laughing as he fell, "You are relieved, my child is gone, so don't drag you down to be my child's father." gone."
There was even a faint smell of blood in the room, and the rest of the people were not there, and they didn't know what they were doing, so Ji Man sat by the bed and looked at her, "Why not?"
Zhu Yurun reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth, smiling really ugly: "He was joking with others, probably because he didn't see me, so he pushed me downstairs by accident. If I didn't have a child, I could still roll down the stairs. I was injured, the stairs were not very high, but when I rolled down, my stomach hit the steps..."
Ji Man tightened his hands slightly.
"It's okay. I've been worrying recently. I don't want to marry someone else after seeing him, but he doesn't want to marry me, so what should I do?" Zhu Yurun's voice became a little hoarse, and her smile gradually faded: "Now finally Don't worry about it."
Feeling a little hurt, Ji Man looked down. Nie Sangyu was really kind. How could she feel so distressed when she encountered such a thing that had nothing to do with her.
"Take care of your body." Ji Man said softly, "When you get better, maybe there will be a better man waiting for you."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhu Yurun waved his hand: "No one dares to want a girl like me anymore, and I don't want to marry either."
Ji Man didn't know what to say, he just took her hand and sighed silently.
"Your hands are really slippery." Zhu Yurun patted the back of her hand with a smile, and said, "I'm tired, I need to sleep, you should go and tell Dad to cancel our marriage, so as not to drag you down you."
Ji Man stood up and covered her with the quilt: "Let's talk about the marriage, you rest first."
Zhu'er next to her bit her lip and dragged Ji Man out, looked at her in the corridor and said, "Master, don't dislike my lady, my lady is a very good woman, and there was no relationship between her and that heartbroken man at first. It's not what she said..."
"Master Ji." Zhu Shilang's voice sounded in the distance, and when Ji Man turned his head, he saw Zhu Shuyou standing at the moon gate with a heavy face and waving at her.
After glancing at Zhu'er, Ji Man went to Zhu Shilang's side first: "Master Zhu."
Qian Yingchen was also standing behind, with no expression on his face, but rather haggard.
"Master Ji is still willing to marry Yurun?" Zhu Shilang asked straight to the point.
Ji Man nodded without hesitation: "Yes."
Women in this era are pregnant, unmarried, and have a miscarriage, which is simply a series of devastating blows. Ji Man thinks that a woman like Zhu Yurun is rare, even if she is a bit tougher, with such a bright smile on her face, it is worth trying to keep her.
Qian Yingchen next to him was a little stunned, Zhu Shilang looked at him with a sneer and said, "Master Qian, did you hear that? The little girl still has a family, please go back."
Qian Yingchen frowned and looked at Ji Man: "She doesn't love you at all. Could it be that Master is also a person who can be desperate for fame and fortune?"
Ji Man looked at him and smiled: "What does it matter if she doesn't love me? I just love her. Yurun has suffered a lot. For the rest of her life, someone should erase all these scars for her. Adults are not suitable."
Qian Yingchen pursed his lips, and wanted to say more, but Zhu Shilang directly tore his face: "Come here, please ask Mr. Qian to go out, Mr. Qian is not welcome in Zhu's residence."
A house slave really came up later, but Qian Yingchen straightened up and walked out first.
Zhu Shilang was so angry that his body trembled slightly. Ji Man looked at him and asked softly, "Why doesn't your lord want to let lord Qian marry Yurun?"
"Let him marry?" Zhu Shuyou sneered: "He was driven here by Lord Hou. Didn't he see this reluctance? Give Yurun to him, what good ending can there be?"
In his tone, he also expressed his anger towards Mo Yuhou.
Qian Yingchen is a close friend of Mo Yuhou, and some of the marriage contracts on him were also made with Mo Yuhou's help. Now that Qian Yingchen caused Miss Zhu to have a miscarriage, and she is still pregnant with Qian Yingchen's child, how can Master Zhu not be angry
Ji Man comforted him, then turned around and went out to find someone to send a letter to Wu Yong.
Although the Changjun King left the capital, he left Wu Yong in charge of the Ministry of Rites. The faction of the Great Prince in the court is still there, but it has been dormant for a long time. As the servant of the household department, Zhu Shuyou is naturally a good ally.
The key depends on how Wu Yong wins him over later.
Ji Man returned to the Hou's Mansion, and pounced on her who hadn't seen her for a few days, the bright eyes finally made her feel better.
"The moon is shining brightly in front of the bed, and it is suspected to be frost on the ground. Look up at the bright moon, and look down at your hometown." Hugging her legs well, she recited a poem, wagging her tail to please her.
Ji Man touched his head, picked him up and weighed him: "It's heavy again."
Giggling well, he pulled her and pointed to Ning Yuxuan who was not far away.
Mo Yuhou has been worrying a lot lately, so he glanced this way, then looked thoughtfully at the flower garden in the mansion. Ji Man walked over with his arms in his arms, looked at him and said, "Hou Ye, Zhu Shilang seems very angry."
Ning Yuxuan glanced at her, frowned and said, "Have you been to Zhu Mansion?"
"Yeah." Ji Man smiled: "I just saw Lord Qian being kicked out by Zhu Shilang."
He thought that Ning Yuxuan would change his face after hearing this, but he was relieved: "That's fine."
