Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 826 Zhang Dexian’s “Trespass”

Not long after the afternoon, when Ning Xiuyuan was reading the last account book in the side hall, Zhang Dexian knocked on the door outside. The knock was very soft, and the voice was even softer, "Third Master?"

As if he was afraid of disturbing Ning Xiuyuan's rest.

Ning Xiuyuan closed the account book in his hand and marveled at the rich assets and strength in his little girl's hands. He stood up and opened the door, "Your Majesty, are you awake?"

Imperial Physician Qin went to the Imperial Hospital, leaving behind the deputy chief who was in charge of Your Majesty. He looked like His Majesty's own person, but in fact he had already taken refuge with Prime Minister Bian. He had been slacking off a lot these days, and no one around His Majesty could see the difference in his illness. So, as long as he doesn't die in his own hands, it's all good... If you slack off, you can still ask for credit from Prime Minister Bian.

Ning Xiuyuan saw everything and just pretended not to know. As long as His Majesty didn't ask for him, he would wait in this side hall and feel at ease. Counting the hours, His Majesty could only sleep for a cup of tea today, and then he woke up?
Zhang Dexian shook his head and said no, bowed again and replied, "It's the news from Dali Temple. Prince Consort You said that Master Shen, the imperial censor, wanted to ask to see His Majesty. Now that His Majesty was asleep, the old servant didn't know what to do for a while, so he came to ask. Ask the third master what he means."

Ning Xiuyuan lowered his eyes and looked at him without saying a word.

Zhang Dexian was hunched over and waiting. He didn't hear Ning Xiuyuan's words for a long time. He raised his eyes slightly and met the other person's lowered gaze. He suddenly looked away in surprise and bent his waist even more - this young man was... The gentleman known as "Master" has a thoughtful look in his eyes but an indifferent expression, which gives him the aura of a superior person. It reminds him of Ning Guogong when he was young. At that time, he was just a little eunuch. Seeing it from a distance, it looks like the face of heaven.

Later, Ning Guogong became much more refined and restrained, always with a faint smile on his face, and his aura was much weaker.

He knew that he had overstepped, and he also knew that the other party understood his overstepping intention, but he did not know what the other party had in mind. He felt uneasy and hesitantly called out, "Third Master?"

Above his head, the man smiled suddenly, his laughter was light and playful, but he still didn't speak.

Zhang Dexian even held his breath.

This kind of thing is not an urgent matter in the first place. Even if we can see him, don't we have to wait until His Majesty wakes up to see him again? Now that His Majesty is asleep and whether or not he has seen her, it is natural to wait for His Majesty to wake up before making a decision. But this manager Zhang came over and asked Ning Xiuyuan... This move made people think too much.

Fingertips slowly caressed it, Ning Xiuyuan curled his lips tacitly, and then said, "Master Shen came to see Your Majesty before and asked Your Majesty for an imperial doctor to go to Dali Temple for treatment. At that time, His Majesty was not I'm very happy. But I saw that he loved his wife very much. Didn't he ask Qin Taiyi to go there? Why did he come here again? He asked to enter Dali Temple at that time, and he knew what was going on. The decision was made based on the circumstances. Why are you so ignorant and asking to see your Majesty again and again? Your Majesty is in poor health and should be more taboo."

Zhang Dexian breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he relaxed his breath, he realized that cold sweat was dripping from his forehead like ants slowly crawling across his forehead. But even now that he had figured out the third master's thoughts, Zhang Dexian still did not dare to wipe his cold forehead.

It is a foregone conclusion that His Majesty's time is running out. It is almost the difference between today and tomorrow. He, the confidant around His Majesty, has been a serious problem since the new emperor came to power. If the new emperor is kind, he might be able to live in a corner and die. In the end, if it was the new emperor...then I might just go with your majesty. Everyone has the instinct to survive. The third master of the Ning family is the best choice he can think of at present... His heart is still beating wildly, which is the phenomenon after being overly frightened. This is a dangerous move... It is really bold to take it seriously. , I still feel scared when I think about it.

Fortunately, the ending is pretty good. Zhang Dexian bowed slowly, even more humbly and respectfully than before, and withdrew silently with a tacit agreement between them.

Ning Xiuyuan was left standing alone at the door, with his eyebrows slightly lowered and his face expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking...

……

Ning Xiuyuan knew the reason why Shen Qian asked to see His Majesty at this time. It seemed that even with the medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Qin, Xu Siniang's condition was still not optimistic.

These were unexpected things. The prescriptions that Mr. Chen had been studying for so long always felt unsatisfactory. Naturally, Imperial Physician Qin was powerless to do anything about it. Ning Xiuyuan was not surprised by this.

Even though he sighed, he still felt that fate was unpredictable and always liked to make fun of the same person. But even so, he still couldn't let Shen Qian come to meet His Majesty.

At first, he understood that it was useless even if Shen Qian couldn't kneel at the door of this dormitory for a long time. If he could save people's lives by kneeling for a long time, then his majesty must be willing to bend the knee of the dragon who is the best among thousands of people. of.

Secondly, now that the government and the public are full of informants from various forces, and Shen Qian meets His Majesty frequently, the news about Xu Siniang is more likely to be exposed. He dare not gamble, and he cannot afford to gamble. At that time, he swore solemnly and plausibly in front of Shangguan Chu, as if he was fearless, but in fact it was all lies. In fact, he was scared to death... Even if he really stayed at the door of Ji's house, drove away all the suitors and stayed by her side shamelessly, even if she really softened her heart and left him behind, some things just existed. However, it will be stuck in the throat forever like a thorn. It may not hurt your life, but it will be worn away day by day.

He understands the truth that a broken mirror can never be reunited.

Therefore, now that this step has been taken, the news about Xu Siniang must not be spread while she is still sick.

Or, if she dies without treatment, the little girl will feel that although the elixir is a good medicine, it may not be the right medicine. Although the ending is regrettable, it is good that the truth is left in the dust. Or, he was finally cured, and because of the intervention of Qin Imperial Physician, the matter of the elixir was just left under the water, and it was good that no one knew about it, and no one would deliberately mention it.

As for Ning Xiuyuan...it is true that he has never been a good person.

He pursed his lips to himself, and walked out of the door and whispered to Xi An, "Take the things inside and tell Manager Zhang that something suddenly happened and I have to leave. If His Majesty wakes up and looks for me, please ask him to take care of me." Explain one or two. "Once you gain a new ally, you always have to use it.

Xi An nodded and said yes, then asked, "Take them all away?"

"Yeah. You can take some time later and send it to Wuyan. Just tell her that I've read it all and there's no big problem. I've marked some details in a separate booklet so she can tell at a glance."

"Yes."
