Yue Ning was very depressed, but she didn't know who to tell. Seeing that the mansion had been completely redecorated, she didn't feel the joy of getting married at all.
Princess Taichang looked at Yue Ning for two days, and finally couldn't help calling Yue Ning to her, "Ning'er, what's wrong with you? Why haven't you been separated for two and a half days?"
Yue Ning didn't want to be spotted by Princess Taichang, so she smiled wryly, "It's nothing... just worried about Qin Wan."
Qin Wan received the letter a few days ago, and Princess Taichang raised her brows, "It's nothing to worry about earlier, what are you worried about now? Now that she and Yan Chi have settled down in Shuoxi, there is nothing more to worry about." Now, Ning'er, how can grandma believe you when you coax grandma with these words?"
Yue Ning felt more and more uncomfortable when she heard the words, but she didn't know how to tell Princess Taichang, she just lowered her head and said, "Grandmother, you really don't have to worry..."
"Hey, your wedding is coming, why are you in a daze all day long, and have never seen you smile? Grandma can tell that you really have something on your mind. Since you don't want to say it, grandma doesn't want to force you either. But Ning'er, if you are really wronged, you must tell grandma, grandma is only your granddaughter, if grandma can't protect Wan girl, can't she even protect you if you are wronged?"
Yue Ning felt sore when she heard this, but she still didn't say, "Grandma, I haven't been wronged."
The princess Taichang sighed, "Forget it, anyway, grandma is still breathing and has the power to protect you, if anyone says something or does something that makes you so unhappy, don't hide it from grandma, your father Fighting in the north, if you know that you are not happy about getting married, you must also feel distressed."
Mentioning Yue Qiong, Yue Ning hurriedly said, "When will father come back?"
Princess Taichang shook her head, "I don't know about this yet. He probably won't be able to come back when you get married, but with grandma around, your marriage will definitely be beautiful for you, so you can rest assured."
Princess Taichang patted Yue Ning's hand, but Yue Ning couldn't laugh.
Seeing her like this, the Taichang Princess suddenly became thoughtful, Yue Ning absently accompanied the Taichang Princess for a while before leaving, before going far, she met Yue Jia, Yue Jia came back from Shuoxi for many days, because Shuoxi was involved, although it had nothing to do with Yan Chi's rebellion, but now he is avoiding suspicion at home, seeing Yue Ning's distraught state, Yue Jia couldn't help but come forward, "What's wrong?"
Yue Ning looked up at her eldest brother, and suddenly said, "Brother, let's go over there and talk."
Yue Jia was no more careful than Princess Taichang, but felt that Yue Ning was not in a good mood, so she immediately took Yue Ning to the pavilion not far away.
After entering the pavilion, Yue Ning took a seat and said suddenly, "Brother, what does Shuoxi look like?"
Yue Jia subconsciously looked around and saw that no one was sitting beside Yue Ning just now, and said in a low voice, "There, the fields are very vast, but there are also many mountain ridges. When you climb the mountain ridges, the stars will be on top of your head. In the first month, it snowed heavily. Although it was extremely cold, the soldiers in the Shuoxi military camp kept practicing. Guard the White Wolf Pass, the military discipline there is excellent, even after Prince Rui's accident..."
Yue Jia talked intermittently, saying whatever came to mind, Yue Ning was startled when she heard it.
"If big brother chooses again, will he still go to Shuoxi?"
Yue Jia smiled, "Why don't you go? That place is the best place to experience people, and the soldiers around you are also of one mind."
Yue Jia has been back for many days, and he never thought that the accident would be so big. After returning home, he stayed at home quietly without any complaints. Now that the situation is unclear, he has a strategy in mind, so naturally he will not act rashly. Thinking of this, he sighed, " It’s a pity I’m afraid I won’t be able to go there again.”
Yue Ning kept her body still, and blurted out, "Why can't I go..."
When the words came out, both of them were taken aback, Yue Jia sighed, "Don't say stupid things, I am the son of Anyang Marquis."
Yue Ning hesitated to speak, Yue Jia looked around, but said in a low voice, "If you are worried about Qin Wan, you can go."
Yue Ning's eyes lighted up slightly, "Brother, are you serious?!"
Yue Jia laughed, "Why don't you take it seriously? You are a girl's family, so what's the problem? But your wedding is coming soon, and you will become a daughter-in-law in someone else's house, but you shouldn't do anything recklessly. Just wait. There will always be a day when we see Yimei Qin Wan again."
The corners of Yue Ning's lips pursed slightly, and then she held back the words in her heart. The siblings sat together and said something else, and then Yue Ning got up and went back to her yard.
After staying in his yard for a short time, a servant girl came to report from outside, bluntly saying that Yan Ze had come.
Yue Ning was startled, and immediately her face darkened. Since that day, she has not been to Prince Yi's mansion for two days, nor has she entered the palace. She has never seen Yan Ze, but she did not expect Yan Ze to come over. Yue Ning When he settled down, he went to Princess Taichang's yard. When he arrived at Princess Taichang, he saw Yan Ze talking and laughing with Princess Taichang. Seeing Yue Ning coming, Yan Ze's eyes softened. Seeing him like this only felt warm in my heart, but seeing him now, my heart was full of sourness and doubts, so naturally I couldn't believe it!
Princess Taichang smiled and said, "Why did you come here so late? Ze'er brought you food. Xiangfulou's latest dim sum is your favorite."
Sure enough, there was a food box beside Yan Ze, and a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wafted out of the food box.
Yue Ning forced herself to laugh, "I almost fell asleep just now, but I didn't expect Third Brother to come over."
Yan Ze looked at Yue Ning dotingly, "If I fall asleep now, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest at night, besides, I have nothing else to do. I just came to see my aunt and you. Eat it once it’s hot—”
Yue Ning nodded, but she didn't talk as much as usual. Yan Ze gave Yue Ning a deep look, but didn't reveal it. Instead, he said, "I'm here to deliver snacks, and there is no one else. The matter, my father is still waiting for me in the mansion, so I will go back first."
Yue Ning usually stayed with Yanze for dinner, but she didn't today, she just nodded and said, "Then I'll see you off."
Yan Ze nodded and stood up, saluted and bid farewell to Princess Taichang before walking out. Yue Ning sent him to the gate of the mansion. The two of them were speechless on the way. When they reached the gate of the mansion, Yan Ze turned to look at Yue Ning, "Ning'er , are you unwell? I see something wrong with you. "
Yue Ning hurriedly laughed, "No, it's just that I haven't been well these few days and I'm very tired."
Yan Ze thought it was her daughter's menstruation, and hearing what Yue Ning said, naturally she didn't want to ask more questions, so she nodded and went back to Prince Yi's mansion.
Yue Ning stayed at the gate of the mansion for a while, and when she returned to Princess Taichang's place, her expression became even more serious. Princess Taichang glanced at Yue Ning, but she insisted on not asking.
In the early morning of the second day, Princess Taichang ordered the kitchen to prepare cakes and asked Yue Ning to pack them in a box and send them to Prince Yi's Mansion. Ze was not there, only sandalwood remained in the mansion, Yue Ning asked, only then did he know that Yan Ze had entered the palace.
Sandalwood smiled and said, "I guess I'll be back later, why doesn't the Princess wait here for a while?"
Because the end of the month is the wedding date of Yue Ning and Yan Ze, so Tan Xiang has long regarded Yue Ning as the hostess of the palace, so she naturally entertained her with all her heart.
Yue Ning originally didn't intend to stay longer, but there was a stupid movement in her heart, she responded with a smile, and then said, "I think of how many books there are in the third brother's study, so I will go to the third brother's study to read the books." Just wait for him."
Yan Ze is not a person who reads the scripts, those scripts were found by Yue Ning for Yan Ze in the past, Tan Xiang hesitated a little when he heard the words, but he didn't dare to stop him, and respectfully invited Yue Ning in, Yue Ning I often come to Yanze's study room, but I have never opened Yanze's things. Seeing sandalwood only waiting at the door, Yue Ning said, "I still have the Junshan silver needle that was sent a month ago, I want to drink that, you Go make it."
Sandalwood responded with a smile, "The Princess can have whatever she wants to drink!"
Saying that, Sandalwood went away, there was no one in the study for a while, Yue Ning took a deep breath, and immediately looked at the drawer of Yan Ze's desk, opened the drawer, but it was all ordinary things, she was puzzled, The study is the place where Yanze stays most often, she doesn't believe there is nothing important here.
It was not long before Yan Ze hired an official, but he had a deep friendship with Zhao Yu, the deputy commander of the imperial guards, and they still met in that place. The two of them must have secrets!
Thinking like this, Yue Ning went to look at the bookcase. Yan Ze's bookcase was full of books. There is no dust in the place where a history book is placed, because it is placed at the bottom, and there is no difference between ordinary and no one will take that history book, but in her place, it is just right to borrow it. The light from the window before noon sees the dust...
Yue Ning frowned, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong, so she squatted down and took out the history book Tongjian. After taking it, Yue Ning immediately realized that something was wrong. The book was shorter than expected, but this The bookshelf grid is extremely long, Yue Ning's heart jumped wildly, she touched the gap where the books were placed, and soon touched a wooden peg inside, Yue Ning's heart tightened, and she subconsciously turned her head Taking a look, seeing that the sandalwood hadn't arrived, Yue Ning immediately twisted the wooden peg. Just after turning it, Yue Ning heard the sound of the mechanism turning from behind the bookshelf, and soon, the bookshelf came from behind. It was separated in the middle, and then a hidden compartment the size of a Buddhist altar was revealed!
Yue Ning's heart was about to jump out of her throat, she was always upright in her actions, why did she ever do such a thing? !
Yue Ning opened the secret compartment almost with trembling hands, but saw several letters in the secret compartment, Yue Ning clenched her teeth, and took out all the letter papers. As soon as she saw the first letter, her eyes froze. It was Yi Ning. The handwriting on the letter belonged to someone else. Yue Ning only felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember who it was. She looked back and quickly opened the envelope. According to the letter, Yue Ning froze on the spot as if struck by lightning!
Yue Ning froze for a moment, but she quickly realized what she was doing. She gritted her teeth fiercely, and opened the second letter with trembling hands. After reading four or five letters in a row, Yue Ning suddenly heard With the sound of footsteps outside, Yue Ning took a deep breath, and then hurriedly packed the letterheads and put all the letters back into the dark compartment, but for a moment he didn't know how to close the bookcase, and he panicked for a moment before remembering the wooden box. Then he leaned over to screw the wooden peg back, and with two creaks, the bookshelf was firmly closed.
When Sandalwood came in with tea, Yue Ning was already sitting by the window with a book in her hand. However, her complexion was slightly pale, and she looked quite gloomy. Sandalwood was surprised, "What's wrong with the princess? But the body Uncomfortable? You look bad...”
Yue Ning sighed for a long time, and threw the story book away, "This story is too sad."
Sandalwood was taken aback, she didn't realize that Yue Ning was a sentimental person before, how could she be so sad just reading a script now
Sandalwood said helplessly, "These are all fake. It's just a storybook. You have to write some heartless people out to make people cry."
Yue Ning took a cup of tea and drank it. After taking two sips of hot tea, her icy hands warmed up. She glanced outside, "The third brother hasn't come back yet?"
Sandalwood was about to appease, but Yue Ning stood up, "Forget it, I won't wait any longer, when the third brother comes back, remember to bring him some snacks."
Upon hearing the words, Sandalwood quickly responded, and sent Yue Ning out of the palace before giving up.
Yue Ning began to tremble uncontrollably when she got into the carriage. She leaned against the wall of the carriage and it took her a long time to come to her senses. In the hidden compartment was actually a letter written by the queen herself. The letter said that the two had already formed an alliance. A letter even mentioned the reason for the alliance between the two.
The revenge of the old year... The queen said that she must help Yan Ze avenge the revenge of the old year. What is the revenge of the old year? !
Yue Ning's mind was in chaos, she couldn't think of anyone in the capital who had an enmity between Yan Ze and the capital, and then thinking about what the queen and the prince had done, a terrible thought popped up in her mind... Yue Ning broke out in a cold sweat on the palm of her hand If before, she only thought that Yanze City Mansion was quite deep and inaccurate, now, she felt that she had never known Yanze before.
When the queen and the crown prince defected, Yan Ze's eye disease hadn't healed yet. Everyone in the capital knew him as the blind son of Prince Yi, but no one would have imagined that he would help the queen and the prince to rebel at that time. How much did he have? power? What is his purpose
Yue Ning was so upset that she didn't dare to go back to the mansion, so she hurriedly asked her servants to drive somewhere else. Yue Ning's ears were buzzing, and she didn't know how long she had been walking. Yue Ning looked outside, but saw that the carriage had arrived at some point In the south of the city, she hurriedly asked her attendants to stop, and there was a lot of traffic on the Royal Street, but she sat in this cramped carriage, but she felt that everything in the world was disappearing, and after an unknown period of time, someone knocked twice on the outside of the carriage.
Yue Ning was startled by this voice, and before she lifted the curtains, she heard a voice from outside, "Zhan Yang pays his respects to the princess, but the princess is in the carriage?"
