After all, he was the uncle of King Xia, and he had helped him before, so he could not ask for more. Although King Rui had grown up at that time, the emperor hated him and his mother. Seeing that this was a difficult situation that the emperor had personally faced, he could not help himself, so he had to ask for help from others, and finally got the life-saving medicine for his old friend.
I once heard Prince Ning say that Prince Rui paid a huge price to save his old friend.
What exactly the price was, she didn't know, nor did Peilan. Only Prince Ning, Zong Pu, Shen Qingling and the people in Prince Rui's mansion knew. For some reason, Prince Rui didn't allow her to know.
Because of their two mothers and through years of secret interactions, Prince Ning and Prince Rui became true friends of life and death.
And she became King Rui's sister.
Prince Rui helped her like a brother and taught her the ways of the world.
She once asked him who would be the better emperor between him and Prince Ning.
He smiled and told her that Prince Ning was not without ambition to seize the throne, but that Prince Ning valued the brotherhood between them more.
And because of Peilan, King Ning had to stop his pursuit of the throne. Her father, General Qin, seemed to be extremely loyal to King Ning, and the Qin family seemed to be used by King Ning, but since King Ning had chosen Peilan as his legal wife, there was no guarantee that one day General Qin would surrender to someone who could bring greater glory to the Qin family.
She was curious and asked, "My father is already a first-rank military general. Is there any greater honor than this?"
Prince Rui just smiled, and finally said calmly, "Yes, but how can a general compare to the father-in-law of the emperor?"
She seemed to understand what he said.
He then stopped talking to her about these things, saying that it might not be good for her to know more about these things, and it would be better for her to keep her innocence.
He taught her how to get along with her father, his wife and her sister Qiuyu, which changed her personality from then on.
She loves him, and in her heart, he is her biological brother.
She was proud to be his secret guard and one of his most trusted confidants.
She knew that she and Qiuyu were different, and Qiuyu was not his and King Ning's. Except in the hunting field, in the second round of the team competition, the situation was urgent, and King Ning asked the Qin family to cooperate to help King Rui. In fact, the Qin family did not know the relationship between King Ning and King Rui.
She studied disguise and stealing techniques because she knew his men were all highly skilled in martial arts, and she hoped to be able to help him in some way.
Sometimes, she would ask him, since he knew so much and could teach her, why couldn't he get along well with the emperor and the prince.
He cut his hands and laughed for a long time. Fang Dao, Dong Ning, I don’t need family happiness. After that time, I will never need it again.
She felt sorry for her brother.
At this time, Wang Mang had left, she had done what she should do, and it was time to leave.
She understood Shen Qingling's mood at the moment, and also knew Zong Pu's heart.
—
She didn't want to disturb them, but there were some things she felt she should talk to them about.
She bit her lip and finally walked quickly into the alley.
People in the deep alley heard the voice. Shen Qingling suddenly raised her head. Her eyebrows and eyes were haggard, her eyes were red and swollen, but there was a hint of gloom in the depths of her pupils. Dong Ning was slightly startled. This was the same thing she saw in Shen Qingling's eyes when Shangguan Jinghong left the restaurant just now. This breath was stronger than hatred. She had a feeling that this was not directed at Shangguan Jinghong, but at another person.
Zong Pu saw her coming over, coughed lightly, let go of Shen Qingling a little awkwardly, and asked unhappily: "What are you doing here?"
Dong Ning's heart trembled, but he gently retorted: "Then what are you doing here?"
Zong Pu tore off the skin on his face, his handsome face clearly showing anger, "You little girl have been spoiled by the Fifth Master and the Eighth Master and have become more and more unruly. If it weren't for them, I would definitely give you a good beating!"
Shen Qingling took a deep breath, wiped the corners of her eyes, pulled Zong Pu, and shook her head, "Xiaoyao is still young, why are you scolding her!"
Dong Ning smiled faintly and said, "Sister Qing, I am old enough to distinguish many things. There are a few things, Sister Qing, I don't know whether I should say them."
"Qin Dongning, you are really rebellious. You speak to your sister Qing in such a tone!" Zong Pu frowned and stared at Dongning fiercely.
Shen Qingning tightly grasped his sleeve, frowned and said, "Xiaoyao, go ahead."
Dong Ning lowered her head and stared at her shoes. "If Brother Jinghong really wants to be with Sister Qiao, can you please not harm Sister Qiao? She loves Brother Jinghong and is a good woman. I feel... very happy when Brother Jinghong is with her."
"Dong Ning, do you know what you are saying?" Shen Qingling was shocked and asked word by word, her eyes gradually turning cold.

Dong Ning seemed not to hear what she said, and continued in a low voice: "You know how Zong Pu treats you. I know you love Brother Jinghong, but didn't you secretly go out with Zong Pu to have a drink and talk a few times? If you were with him, actually... it would be good too, and you would be happy too. Wouldn't it be a win-win situation for both of you—"
She spoke with some difficulty. There was a sharp sound and her face suddenly felt a pain. She stroked her cheek and stared blankly at Zong Pu's hand raised in the air in front of her.
"Zong Pu..."
Shen Qingling was also startled, and her hand that was grabbing Zong Pu's sleeve fell away.
Kuo Dongning pursed her lips and smiled gently. Zong Pu was very angry. The palm strike was very powerful. There was a fishy and salty taste in her mouth, and blood foam seeped out from her gums bit by bit. If she used a little more force, her teeth would have fallen out.
However, she was the one who was beaten. Why did his face look as pale as death? His eyes, which used to be sharp and stern, seemed to have lost all their light in an instant. He just stared at her. She sometimes touched her painful cheek, sometimes swallowed her saliva gently, and his gaze followed her like a shadow.
His lips were still bumping against each other, with a barely perceptible tremor.
Ting Dongning looked at him and knew that he clearly wanted to say something but couldn't. He lost his usual sharpness and his final words were hoarse and incoherent, "Qin Dongning, what nonsense are you talking about... Who told you to talk nonsense..."
The bloody taste in her mouth made her feel uncomfortable. Finally, she spat a mouthful of blood foam on the ground and said softly, "You don't have to say anything. I'll leave now... Since I said what I just said, I have been prepared to be scolded and slapped." Dong Ning wiped the corner of her mouth and slowly turned around. Suddenly she remembered something and turned her head to the side and said lightly, "It's not in vain that I took your palm. You never looked at me straight in the eye before. Today, I have earned it. Zong Pu, I will not pester you anymore in the future, don't worry."
After she finished speaking, her vision became blurry. She did not look at the two people in front of her. She turned around quickly and took a few steps. Her elbow was tightened and someone grabbed her tightly. Her eyes darkened. She raised her hand and pulled it away. Without turning back, she hooked her foot back and swept it on the shin of the person who came. She did not use gravity either. She could hear the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground and Shen Qingling's anxious voice, "Zong Pu, are you okay..."
She smiled coldly and walked to the alley entrance before turning back and saying, "Master Zong, I told you long ago that you should practice martial arts."
Zong Pu was on the ground, and stopped Shen Qingling from supporting him. He propped himself up with his hands on the ground, gritted his teeth and stood up. His eyes had returned to their usual sharpness, staring at her fiercely. Dong Ning's eyes were slightly fixed on his robe, and there was a deep red patch between his knees. He had fallen hard.
Dong Ning did not move. Seeing him frowning and stumbling towards her step by step, he did not ask her to come back. Dong Ning laughed at himself. They still had this tacit understanding. He knew that no matter how gentle or scolding she was, she would not go to his side again. So, he personally caught her.
Want to give her a good beating
Yes, he often scolded her. When she was not yet an adult, she offended him for some reason and she got spanked hard by him. Later, when she had her adulthood ceremony, he became less angry and no longer touched her easily.
How could it be like this between lovers
So, it was destined long ago that there was nothing between them.
Shen Qingling hurried forward and supported Zong Pu. Zong Pu was proud and was about to refuse. Shen Qingling whispered, "Are you going to reject me too?"
Zong Pu nodded, held her hand with his big hand, borrowed a little strength, and quickened his pace towards her.
Qin Dongning looked at their clasped hands and smiled in her heart. Zong Pu would never reject Qing Ling. Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt a chill in her body. She felt that Shen Qing Ling had something to say to her. She heard Shen Qing Ling gritting her teeth and saying, "Xiaoyao, Zong Pu was wrong to hit you, but you were not at all wrong. You have changed. Don't you know about the relationship between Jing Hong and me... How could you say those things? Zong Pu hit you because she was angry at you for treating me like this. You like Zong Pu, Zong Pu treats me..." She closed her eyes and then continued, "If you have complaints about me, you can come to me, but you can't say those nonsense words, and you shouldn't hit Zong Pu."
Dong Ning smiled slowly. Across from her, Zong Pu looked at her smile and his body seemed to tremble slightly, his brows tightened even more. Dong Ning glanced at him, then looked at Shen Qingling, "Sister Qingling, I have never blamed you. In my heart, I always regarded you as my sister and my friend. Unfortunately, you don't seem to think so."
After she finished speaking, she finally stopped looking back and quickly ran out of the alley. Zong Pu's voice came from behind her, deep and stern, "Qin Dongning, stop right there!"
She didn't know whether she was mocking him or herself, but she actually had the leisure to run along, asking, "What are you stopping for?"
The man's voice behind him suddenly fell silent.
She sneered and said, "Can't you answer that?"
"Qin Dongning!"
After a moment of silence, the voice rang out again, carrying great anger, and finally disappeared into the busy streets. Dong Ning suddenly lost her direction. She was thinking about whether to follow Shangguan Jinghong to Prince Xia's mansion or go home, when someone suddenly patted her shoulder lightly, "Second Miss."
She was startled and turned around to see that it was Fan Rusu, the captain of the imperial guards. The two had once had a fight in the paddock - although it was a fake fight and she beat him, it was a case of knowing each other by fighting. Later, when they were waiting for news from Shangguan Jinghong in the paddock, they would occasionally drink a few glasses of wine together. Palace affairs were sensitive, and both of them were martial artists, so they stopped at a casual conversation and moved on to matters in the martial arts world. They got along very well and felt like they had known each other for a long time.
Fan Rusu was a loyal person, and almost always gave in to her. Zong Pu would sometimes mock her when he saw the two of them playing around, "Qin Dongning, you should be a couple with this idiot."
Dong Ning thought of the past and smiled in her heart, but after she finished smiling, her mouth was full of bitterness. Fan Rusu, on the other hand, had a look of joy on her face. "If it really is you, I was afraid I had recognized the wrong person just now."
Dong Ning laughed and scolded, "No matter if it was me or not, what do you mean, can you just touch or pat a woman's body?"
Fan Rusu was stunned, her face suddenly turned red, she was a little at a loss, she lowered her eyes slightly, and then bowed to the ground.
Dong Ning saw that he was serious and said quickly, "Okay, okay, I was just joking."
"I was the one who offended the young lady." Fan Rusu still kept her eyes down.

"Hey, Fan Rusu, do you have any money in your pocket? Let's go find Du Kang, okay?" Dong Ning thought about it and decided to change the subject to avoid embarrassing Fan Rusu again.
She couldn't go to Prince Xia's mansion. In her current mood, going there would only cause trouble.
Regardless... No matter what Zong Pu thought, Shen Qingling probably blamed her. If she hadn't accidentally revealed Qiaochu's identity, Shangguan Jinghong wouldn't have left the restaurant immediately. She was also reckless at the time. I hope Shangguan Jinghong won't blame Qiaochu. For some reason, I still feel that Sister Qiao would not have an affair.
I don’t like studying. I used to hear Zong Pu say that the only way to relieve worries is to drink Du Kang.
At that time, I was still asking foolishly, Zong Pu, Zong Pu, who is Du Kang, is he your friend
Zong Pu rolled her eyes at her with disdain, but Shen Qingling told her that Du Kang was a winemaker and also another name for fine wine.
She was the daughter of a warrior and did not know Du Kang, but she always remembered what he said.
Now... let's go have some wine.
After waking up, they went their separate ways.
She was thinking quietly, but she saw Fan Rusu suddenly look up and whispered: "I just received my monthly salary a few days ago, you can go anywhere you want to drink..."
He smiled somewhat helplessly, with a dimple on his cheek and a mouthful of white teeth, which made his dark complexion look very pleasing to the eye. In fact, he was very handsome, although not as handsome as his brothers and Zong Pu, with a bit of the roughness of a warrior, but he was also a handsome man.
She just
