Seeing her like this, Ning Xiu became more and more surprised. Why was his brother so different from before
The guard at the door looked inside and saw nothing unusual, and then looked away.
Wen Qingzhu took the opportunity to pour tea, covered the corners of his lips, and said silently to Ning Xiu: I am Wen Qingzhu.
After seeing clearly what she said, Ning Xiu was stunned and opened his eyes wide.
After pouring the tea, Wen Qingzhu sat down and looked at him with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine. You go back and tell your family, and also help express my gratitude to the imperial concubine."
"Oh! Oh!" Ning Xiu swallowed, then rubbed his eyes.
The person in front of me is obviously my brother!
How could it be Mrs. Fu
"How are you doing here in the capital? Do you still have enough money at home?"
"Enough, that's enough. I don't spend money randomly." Ning Xiu explained immediately.
Wen Qingzhu stood up and said to him: "That's good. It's cold, so charcoal fires are necessary. You just want to give you peace, so you can go back first."
"Oh." Ning Xiu turned around and left obediently.
But he turned back three times every step of the way. Is the person in front of him really Wen Qingzhu
After Ning Xiu left Dali Temple, he originally wanted to rush home directly, but thinking of what he just said, he turned around and went to the palace.
In Jingping Palace, Concubine Wei listened quietly to him talking about Dali Temple.
When Ning Xiu said with a puzzled look on his face: "Madam, I really don't understand why my brother told me that he is Mrs. Fu?"
Concubine Wei paused, and then her heart dropped.
Looking at the confusion on Ning Xiu's face, she was afraid that Wen Qingzhu's disguise skills were getting better and better.
"It's okay. Your brother is teasing you. Go back and tell your mother that everything is fine with your brother. Tell him not to worry."
"Yeah." Ning Xiu nodded, but he still felt strange.
Did you overlook something
It wasn't until the next day that someone finally showed up at the door.
But the person who came was not Su Huo, but Fan Rong, Minister of the Ministry of War.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the visitor, stood up, and his eyes became deep.
How could it be Fan Rong
"Master Ning." As soon as Fan Rong came in, the door outside immediately closed, and the room suddenly became dark.
Wen Qingzhu cupped his hands and invited him to sit down: "Master Fan, sit here."
Fan Rong nodded, walked to the upper seat and sat down.
At the same time, he raised his head and looked at 'Ningping' in front of him.
Wen Qingzhu just stood still and let him watch to his heart's content.
Finally, Fan Rong praised him arrogantly: "Da Qi can be saved. Wei Ziying is indeed the right person."
In his tone, Wen Qingzhu even heard a hint of jealousy.
"Your Excellency, this is all due to the Emperor's wisdom in giving this opportunity to the lower officials." Wen Qingzhu imitated Ning Ping's modesty and nodded slightly.
Fan Rong shook his head and pointed to the seat next to him: "Sit down and let's talk slowly."
"Then Mr. Su won't come?" Wen Qingzhu didn't sit down and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"He has no time now. Ever since Ping Guohou returned to Beijing to vindicate the Yang family, Su Huo insisted on interfering in this matter and found out too many things that should not have been revealed. Now the case is still being investigated on the surface, but in fact it has been Under house arrest at the Ministry of Punishment."
Wen Qingzhu was stunned. There was only one doubt in his mind: Su Huo was placed under house arrest by Jiang Yue
What did he find out
"Sit down." Fan Rong reminded him again.
Wen Qingzhu came to his senses in a daze, and sat down in a daze, obviously still thinking about this matter.
Seeing him so shocked, Fan Rong was very satisfied.
At the same time, he began to lobby: "Now that I have told you this matter, can you understand what the emperor means?"
Wen Qingzhu's mind buzzed and he almost stood up again.
Fortunately, she has experienced enough things and can barely sit still now.
With such a reaction, the smile on Fan Rong's face became deeper and deeper.
He touched the goatee on his chin and said earnestly: "Since you guessed it, there is no turning back. In addition to following His Majesty, you will only be demoted. In fact, you should also know what the consequences will be after being demoted. In order to Your wife and children, do you know how to choose?"
Wen Qingzhu clenched his hands tightly, why didn't she understand!
This was Jiang Yue's specialty, giving both kindness and power, so he had no choice but to obey.
Wen Qingzhu quickly calmed down, his face looked heavy, and he just said something unclear: "Master Fan, let me think carefully."
"Okay, I'll give you half an hour." Fan Rong didn't push him and started to concentrate on tea.
Wen Qingzhu sat upright, feeling very confused.
She is not the real Ning Ping. If she were him, how should he choose
Jiang Yue's meaning was already obvious. He no longer trusted Su Huo and wanted to find a way to suppress Su Huo and choose someone else as his forward.
Unfortunately, Wen Qingzhu, who disguised himself as Ning Ping, was chosen.
The methods and courage she displayed were indeed uncommon, and it was reasonable for Jiang Yue to take a fancy to her.
It's just that Fan Rong has already said it for this reason, and Wen Qingzhu has no choice at all.
Wen Qingzhu really couldn't figure it out. What did Su Huo find out that made Jiang Yue so afraid
Time passed slowly, Fan Rong put down the tea cup, turned around and asked: "Master Ning, have you thought about it?"
Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath, stood up, and knelt in front of Fan Rong.
She looked at him with her head held high and asked, "May I ask, sir, what will happen to Mr. Su? What does your majesty want to do to the humble minister?"
"These are two good questions." Fan Rong also stood up, looking at the light coming from the door and said, "After all, Su Huo has been doing things for His Majesty for so many years, and he is also engaged to Miss Zhou. Naturally, His Majesty is To preserve his life and innocence.”
After a pause, he stared into Wen Qingzhu's eyes and said solemnly: "Since you want to preserve Su Huo, you must live without Qingming."
After hesitating for a moment, Wen Qingzhu knelt down and said, "I thank the Lord for your kindness."
The anger in Wen Qingzhu's heart was getting stronger and stronger. A talented person like Ning Ping actually wanted to become a sharp knife that killed people for him.
"This is the emperor's golden order. You should keep it. Someone will naturally come to pick you up when arrangements are made."
Fan Rong handed her a token and asked her to keep it.
Finally, he took out another pill and said, "This is for safety's sake. Please forgive me, Lord Ning."
Wen Qing accepted it respectfully on his face, but he was sneering in his heart.
After eating it without hesitation, my stomach felt slightly sore.
She immediately understood what the medicine was.
After making sure that the person in front of him was fine, Fan Rong turned around and left.
In the afternoon, someone came to pick up Ningping.
What Wen Qingzhu didn't expect was that the person who came was actually Marquis Jingyuan.
"Master Ning, please come this way."
When facing the young man in front of him, Marquis Jingyuan lost his previous arrogance.
Wen Qingzhu followed him out and finally saw Tianguang.
As soon as he left the gate of Dali Temple, he met Zhou Sang.
"Master Li, you are fine."
Zhou Sang bowed his hands, but his eyes were looking at Wen Qingzhu.
Li Wei glanced sideways at the people around him and said with a meaningful smile: "Master Zhou, are you here to see Master Tisu to see the situation in Dali Temple?"
"No, I came here to talk to Master Ning." Zhou Sang's eyes were like daggers, staring straight into Ning Ping's eyes.
Others don't know Suho's current situation, but he does.
According to Jiang Yue's character, Ning Ping can walk out of Dali Temple intact, which means that he is now a key figure.
"I would like to ask Mr. Zhou Haihan, I still have something to do." Wen Qingzhu lowered his head, blocking his sight.
But Wen Qingzhu knew that Zhou Sang's eyes were still on her, sharp and profound.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Sang finally got out of the way.
Watch them get into the car and leave together.
When they arrived at Jingyuan Houfu, Wen Qingzhu followed Li Wei to his study.
Returning to a familiar place, Li Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did he become more carefree and pointed at his position: "Sit down. Your task at the moment is to deal with Suho. You must first find out the problems with Suho's work."
Li Wei clapped his hands, and two old servants came over carrying two large stacks of books.
When I put it on the table, the dust on the book rolled up into circles in the air.
"This is something Suho has taken over over the years. Take your time and look at it. If you find the problem, I will help you."
Wen Qingzhu cupped his hands and thanked him.
Li Wei twitched his lips: "There's nothing better than saying thank you. I can only tell you that you only have three days."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for reminding me." Wen Qingzhu acted extremely humble.
Then, Li Wei ordered people to take Wen Qingzhu and the book to the small courtyard next door.
When she first came out, Wen Qingzhu noticed a line of sight staring at her.
It wasn't until we entered the courtyard that the feeling of being watched disappeared.
She looked back and saw that the yard was being guarded. Except for the two old servants from before, no one else followed.
After entering the house, Wen Qingzhu asked the two old servants to get down.
After carefully observing her surroundings, she finally felt reassured that it was still very safe here.
After sitting down, Wen Qingzhu picked up the first book and started reading.
After nightfall, there seemed to be a dispute outside, and someone's familiar voice brought Wen Qingzhu back to his thoughts.
She glanced at the two piles of books on the table.
The one-third on the left is what she has finished reading, and the two-thirds on the right is what she has not finished.
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but laugh. She had read all these booklets in her previous life.
Now it is equivalent to reviewing and sorting out the less important ones.
From this point of view, some things may really be doomed.
The arguing outside became louder and louder, and Wen Qingzhu stood up and opened the door.
There was a sudden silence at the entrance to the courtyard.
A woman appeared in front of her, dressed extremely dignified and plain, looking like a noble lady.
Even though she was completely different from before, Wen Qingzhu still recognized her at a glance.
The woman in front of her is Li Wei's daughter-in-law Xia Feiyuan.
After a secret quarrel between Mrs. Jingyuan Hou and her, Xia Feiyuan won a great victory and took over all the general affairs in the Hou Mansion.
When Xia Feiyuan saw Ning Ping in front of her, she couldn't help but feel doubts in her heart.
Why is it different from what she saw before
The old servant also spoke at this time: "Madam, you'd better go back, your Anshentang old slave is here to stay."
Xia Feiyuan's eyes still stopped on Wen Qingzhu.
She felt very strange, very strange. The Ning Ping in front of her had a familiar feeling that frightened her.
Over the years, Xia Feiyuan has always believed in his intuition, and that's why he has survived until now.
So when she felt in danger, she agreed to the old servant's words without hesitation and left here with the maid.
After walking a few steps, Xia Feiyuan still felt a gaze behind her, which seemed to penetrate the wall and fixate on her.
She couldn't help but quicken her pace. It seemed that this matter had to be considered in the long run.
After dinner, the old servant brought bath water.
Wen Qingzhu pointed outside: "I don't like to be served by strangers, so please ask my old servant to wait outside."
"Yes." The old servant retreated without looking away.
Suddenly, Wen Qingzhu felt something was wrong and asked more: "Isn't there someone else who was with you before?"
"The second one is serving the Marquis. Does Mr. Ning need any help? The old servant can do it too." The old servant stopped, but the old look on his face did not change at all.
Wen Qingzhu waved his hand and said, "There is something wrong, but let's wait until tomorrow."
After entering the room and closing the door, Wen Qingzhu leaned against the door panel with a solemn expression.
The old servant outside the door couldn't tell the difference, but she could still tell the other one.
