Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 157
"I should have just been tricked by the way, and their main target is that Miss Liu." Su Jingning concluded

Shen Lingze responded with a grave expression.

"But why did the seventh prince plot against Miss Liu and the third prince?" Su Jingning was a little puzzled.

Shen Lingze thought about it but had a guess in his mind.

"Although the crown prince and the seventh prince are fighting fiercely, in fact, the forces on both sides are biased towards civil servants, and there are not many generals who support the two sides. Basically, they are all firmly in the hands of the Holy One. For example, the Qin family of Marquis Wuxuan, the Xiao family of Marquis Wu'an, As well as my father, Prince Rui, these people are not something the two parties can easily win over."

"Except for them, the only one left is the Liu family of Rongguo Duke's mansion, which has considerable military power because it led the army to guard the southern border. Moreover, the other party is the fourth prince's family. The fourth prince has always been low-key and courteous. They don't participate in power and profit, but are only obsessed with elegant things, and their reputation has always been good. If the two parties can get the support of the Rongguo government and the fourth prince, they will be even more powerful, and their strength will increase greatly.

Marriage has always been a common means of cooperation between the two parties. "

"Since this is the case, as the only daughter of the Duke of Rongguo, the Seventh Prince should work hard to win over her. How could he plot against her and the Third Prince?" Su Jingning asked puzzled.

"Because of fear and suspicion."

Shen Lingze raised his head and said: "Except for the crown prince, the other princes have similar identities, and they are only one step away from the supreme position. Even the most stupid third prince has the idea of ​​taking a seat. Who can guarantee that this virtuous and courteous The Fourth Prince really doesn't care much about the throne as he has shown!"

Su Jingning came to a sudden: "So, because of this, the Seventh Prince didn't dare to take the risk of cooperating with the Rongguo Duke's Mansion. Otherwise, if the Fourth Prince really thought about it and was just pretending at this time, then he must be the one who was unlucky first.

But at the same time, he was also afraid that the crown prince would want to marry the Duke of Rongguo and let the sixth prince marry Miss Liu, so he simply ruined this possibility and brought Miss Liu and the third prince together. "

After all, the third prince's idiot is obvious to all. Even if he marries with the Rongguo government again, he will be a douchebag that cannot be supported, and he will not threaten the seventh prince at all.

What's more, it would be extremely disgraceful if this incident broke out, and it would be good if the two sides didn't fall out.

Shen Lingze nodded slightly and said: "That's why he set up this game. And, maybe he even hit two birds with one stone."

Su Jingning was startled when she heard the words, and then she came to her senses, "You mean, the Seventh Prince will plant this matter on the Crown Prince and stir up conflicts between the Crown Prince and the Rongguo Palace?"

Seeing that she reacted so quickly, Shen Lingze couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips and boasted: "Ah Ning is indeed extremely smart."

When Su Jingning heard him praise herself, her face flushed slightly.

If she is really smart, she won't be fooled by others.

"Then what should we do?" She pursed her lips and asked.

Shen Lingze liked to hear the word "we" from her very much, he squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "A-Ning don't have to worry, it's just treating him in the same way as others."

He looked at Su Jingning and said seriously: "They dare to plot against you like this, so naturally they have to taste the bitter fruit of their own."

Su Jingning was startled, and murmured: "You mean..."

Seeing this, Shen Lingze chuckled, and whispered into Su Jingning's ear.

The man's light breath surrounded her again, and the airflow sprayed on the neck during the speech made Su Jingning shrink back her neck to hear Shen Lingze's words clearly.

As soon as the words fell, Shen Lingze moved away and said with a smile: "I'll take you back there first, otherwise it will take too long to cause suspicion."

After hearing his plan, Su Jingning was completely relieved, she nodded and jumped off the rock to follow him away.

Shen Lingze seemed to be familiar with this garden, so he took her to the side of the river that separated male and female guests.

"There's still this here." Su Jingning looked at the boat in front of her in surprise.

"When I was young, I used to play here with the sixth prince and my cousin. This boat was built by my cousin. Now it is just in use." Shen Lingze jumped on the boat, turned around and stretched out his hand towards Su Jingning, "Come on, be careful point."

Su Jingning was not hypocritical, she stretched out her hand and let Shen Lingze help her onto the boat.

The river is not wide, Shen Lingze rowed the boat very decently, and soon reached the other side.

It was only when Su Jingning stepped on the land beside the river that she breathed a sigh of relief, so it was truly safe.

"Go back quickly! I can walk the rest of the way by myself." She waved her hand at Shen Lingze.

Shen Lingze disagreed, and said with a serious expression: "No, what if you meet someone from Lao Qi's side again on the road? I'll take you back."

Su Jingning hesitated, thinking that what he said was quite reasonable.

If she meets the Seventh Prince again, she doesn't want to go through what happened just now.

So they didn't refute anymore, and the two walked back together.

But in the end, she was afraid that Shen Lingze would be seen by others, so Su Jingning looked around vigilantly all the way.

On the contrary, Shen Lingze strolled in the courtyard as if he was strolling in a garden.

It's not like, it's just visiting the garden.

He not only admires the flowers, but also picks off the beautiful ones when he sees them. Before he knows it, he has a beautiful bouquet in his hand.

Shen Lingze looked at the masterpiece in his hand with satisfaction, and suddenly stopped when his ears moved.

Seeing this, Su Jingning was about to ask, but she saw that he gently put his index finger to his lips, gave a silent "shush", then stuffed the flower into her arms, and turned around to hide behind a tree. behind.

Then, Su Jingning heard voices not far away.

She was terrified, holding the bouquet and immediately looked away, then looked in the direction where the voice came from.

After a few breaths, a group of people came noisyly on the path over there.

The first one was a girl wearing a gown with carmine embroidered with cherry blossoms, it was Qi Nanwei.

Those people also happened to see Su Jingning at this time.

Qi Nanwei cheered, and ran over here.

"Miss Su San, where have you been? We are looking for you everywhere!" She ran to her and asked.

"Looking for me?" Su Jingning raised her eyebrows in surprise, "I was picking flowers in the garden here, why did you find me?"

"Wu Shuang and the others have been looking for you, but they can't find anyone. Then they broke out somehow, and everyone came to look for you." Qi Nanwei replied.

Su Jingning guessed in her heart that the missing person should be a trick played by Bo Siyan and Su Jingyue, but she didn't show it at all, instead she said angrily: "It's all because I didn't tell Wushuang and the others, and I was fascinated by these flowers again." Eyes, it’s hard work for everyone to find me.”

"It's okay, just take care of yourself." Qi Nanwei waved her hands indifferently, and suddenly asked as if thinking of something: "Oh, by the way, have you seen Miss Liu from Rongguo Duke's family? She's gone too!"
