Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 309 Confession
Song Zhuo was startled, and suddenly remembered what it was, couldn't help falling back on the bed with a plop, and laughed lowly.

With a tear in her heart, Ning Qing threw off the quilt, took off her shoes and ran out of the wooden house.

Song Zhuo was shocked, and regardless of the injuries on his body, he immediately pulled off his cloak and ran out, wrapping Ning Qing around him.

Ning Qing wiped her tears, seeing that he was only wearing a thin jacket, and it was still freezing and snowy outside, she felt a little distressed.He turned around and went back to the house, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

Song Zhuo touched her head and lowered his head to kiss her, but Ning Qing turned her face and refused to let her kiss.

Ning Qing closed her eyes and ignored him.

He didn't kiss her again, nor hug her, but pulled her black hair.

Ning Qing opened her eyes, only to see that he was pulling a strand of her black hair, holding another strand in his hand, and then putting them together.

Song Zhuo said: "This is yours."

Ning Qing was taken aback.

Last night after paying homage to him, she tidied his clothes and found a brocade pouch in his arms, in which was a strand of blue silk tied with a red string.She touched it, and it was the hair of two people.One's hair quality is Song Zhuo's.

What about the other one?

As the old saying goes, married hair becomes husband and wife.Often, on the wedding night of the newlyweds, the bridal bride will cut off the blue silk, tie it together with a red string, and put it in a red kit, which means to tie the hair of the couple.

One lock of hair belongs to Song Zhuo, and the other lock belongs to Cheng Yuhua!
She thought, maybe he didn't do it.It is very likely that Cheng Yuhua begged tearfully when he saw him resign, saying that this was his last wish or compensation, and tied their hair with a red string and put them together, which can be regarded as a husband and wife.And he finally chose her instead of Cheng Yuhua, but he had a relationship with Cheng Yuhua after all, and he agreed after thinking about the old relationship.

For this reason, she stayed in a daze all night. Did she come here by mistake?
But now, he suddenly said, this hair is hers!
Ning Qing was dumbfounded: "I don't believe it."

Song Zhuo picked her up and hugged her into his arms: "It's really yours."

"I never gave you hair." Ning Qing said.

"Yes." Song Zhuo said, "That time, when you left...in the private house outside Shangjing..."

Ning Qing was startled, and slowly recalled.Three years ago, she was seriously injured and passed by him. He reached out and caught a lock of her hair, and she cut it off with a swing of the knife.

That memory was too painful, she would never recall it, and never would.

But Song Zhuo often thought of it.

"I forgot..." Ning Qing whispered.

"Forget it if you forget it, don't think about it." Song Zhuo lowered his head and kissed her forehead lightly.It is enough for him to remember and endure those pains. "Since then, Qingqing has been my wife."

Ning Qing felt sour: "What if I don't marry you?"

"That's my wife too."

At that time, he once gave up on himself and really wanted to let her go free.Since she hated him, he never approached her again.There is no doubt about love and love, and they become husband and wife.No matter where she is, whether or not she will marry in the future, she is Song Zhuo's only wife in this life.

Since leaving Shangjing, he has chased after Tianshui, watching her silently.In the end, I still couldn't help it, and wanted to have an intersection with her again.

But he remembered the sentence she said when she left: From then on, we are strangers, we don't know each other, we don't know each other when we meet.

He didn't even have a chance to get close to her.

Therefore, he can only abandon his identity, even if he becomes another person, he still wants to be with her.

Until now, he was able to hold her openly again as Song Zhuo, but he still felt that it was so unreal, that he was dreaming.May this dream never wake up!

Ning Qing also thought of him pretending to be Mu Fan, and snorted: "You said, you're just pretending to be another person, you can't even pretend well, you're full of flaws."

Song Zhuo said: "It's too good, Qingqing doesn't like it."

Ning Qing choked: "Nonsense!"

"You're just talking nonsense. Qingqing only likes her cousin. She also said that her cousin is a big liar, so Qingqing is a little liar! Huh? Little liar!" Song Zhuo said with a low smile and kissed her.

"He is not a little liar!" Ning Qing was anxious and wanted to push him, but she was afraid of touching his wound and dared not use force.

"You are, admit it, little liar." He pushed her onto the bed, nuzzled her nose, and kissed her neck again.

Ning Qing was bullied by him to the point of crying.

When Song Zhuo didn't go too far, he only kissed her hard once, and then let her go.

Since then, Ning Qing has never dared to say that he is a liar.

Song Zhuo rested at the bottom of the cliff for five days before going up to Wuhuai Temple.

Song Zhuo asked Qingfeng to get another human skin mask out of nowhere, this time it was an ordinary human skin mask.After pasting it, it was Mu Fan's ordinary appearance that couldn't be more ordinary.

Ning Qing choked when she saw it, she was not feeling well.Since her identity was revealed, Ning Qing could no longer look directly at this face.

But Song Zhuo doesn't wear a mask, so he can no longer live in her house.Otherwise, her parents live with a man, so what?
When Ning Qing helped Song Zhuo back, everyone in the house froze. Is this a reconciliation?
The spring rolls didn't know what to say for a while.Because when Song Zhuo was exposed, she was also there, she only stared at Song Zhuo's face, she remembered that he was a stunning man.

Chun Juan raised his head, and Song Zhuo was immediately attracted by his gaze. He was dressed in red, with a stunning appearance and gorgeous appearance, which made people unable to look back for a long time.

She originally thought that Shui Jingnian was the most beautiful man in the world, but now looking at Song Zhuo, his appearance is evenly divided, but his temperament and aura are superior to him, which is amazing at first glance.

"Princess, you are back." Chunjuan looked away and said anxiously, "Your Highness has been taken into prison!"

"What did you say?" Ning Qing was shocked: "Brother Shui is in jail? What's going on?"

"It seems to say that the lord is hiding muskets." Chunjuan said.

Song Zhuo's face darkened.

"Seven days ago, after the princess left, the news of King Rui's murder in Shuijingdong was heard. The emperor was furious and ordered people to go down to set up an investigation. Later, one of King Rui's guards was seriously injured and survived. The guards said they found There was a group of private guns on the White Lvshan Mountain, and they were rushing back to Beijing to hand over to the emperor, when they were suddenly attacked. King Rui was killed by that person. Now the batch of private guns has disappeared. The guard said, the batch of private guns said It belongs to His Royal Highness Yan Wang."

"The emperor was furious, and immediately took the prince to the prison. Princess, does the emperor suspect that the prince killed King Rui?" Chunjuan was so anxious that he burst into tears.

Song Zhuo's complexion was not good.Unexpectedly, there is still a fish that slipped through the net!At that time, he was tortured by the infatuation Gu, and he was so dazed that he let a person go back alive!
"Then let's go to the palace quickly and find Concubine Yao," Ning Qing said.

"Qingqing." Song Zhuo took her hand. "Come here, my cousin will tell you something."

Song Zhuo dragged Ning Qing back to the room.

"What's the matter?" Ning Qing only looked at the gate, wishing she could fly into the palace right now.

"Shui Jingdong was killed by me." He can no longer hide this matter from her.

Ning Qing's eyes darkened: "Why did you kill him?"

"The guns belonged to Shui Jingnian. I asked Shui Jingdong to find out about it."

Ning Qing was stunned and she shed tears: "Why are you doing this?"

"He's going to take off my mask."

"That can't kill him!"

"I'm afraid of losing you. To me, you are more important than my life. You said that I had ill intentions towards him, but why didn't he have ill intentions towards me?"

Ning Qing was silent.

"Besides, he is a prince, and there is Concubine Yao. Emperor Wenxuan has always loved him. With just a batch of private guns, he can't die. He will only be beaten up and sent to a certain fiefdom. He is not allowed to return to Beijing without an order. I can't die! I don't want him to cause damage, let him get away!"

Song Zhuo is not stupid, if Shui Jingnian is killed all of a sudden, Ning Qing will not cry to death.He didn't want to see her cry.It can only let the water roll away for years.

However, if Shui Jingdong wanted to get rid of Shui Jingnian, he would definitely set up an ambush on the way to the fief. As for whether he could survive to the fief, it would depend on Shui Jingnian's own ability.

"But now... there is still the matter of killing Shui Jingdong! He has not been executed yet!" Ning Qing burst into tears as she spoke.

"Don't cry, cousin will solve it." Song Zhuo hugged her tightly in his arms.

Ning Qing sniffled, and finally let go of the big stone in her heart.As long as it is something he wants to come forward to solve, it will definitely be solved.

"Be good, let's eat first, shall we?" Song Zhuo said and patted her head.

"No, I want to go see Brother Shui in prison." Ning Qing bit Chen.

"It's not allowed to watch." Song Zhuo hugged her: "Stay at home obediently, it's useless for you to find Concubine Yao. Come, eat first. If you don't eat well, my cousin has no energy to save people."

Ning Qing was amused by him, but she didn't smile, and glared at him, so she had to sit down to eat.

He specialize in her favorite dishes, but she still can't eat them.He just took the spoon and insisted on feeding her.The abrupt teasing made Ning Qing eat a big bowl of rice.

At night, she went to find Song Zhuo, but Song Zhuo was not in the room.

Ning Qing was slightly startled, wondering why he was going out so late.

Ning Qing had to go back to her room to sleep, but she couldn't sleep until the third watch, when the direction of the palace suddenly burst into flames.Gongs and drums sounded straight.

Ning Qing jumped up and looked at the palace worriedly.

Early the next morning, Ning Qing got up and ran to Song Zhuo's room, but Song Zhuo hadn't come back yet.Ning Qing's eyes were red with anxiety.He still has injuries on his body, and he actually broke into the palace!
"Hui Ping, hurry up and find out what happened in the palace last night?" Ning Qing said.

"The Princess doesn't need to inquire." Xiao Song came limping: "Young Master took people to the palace last night to get some things!"

"He hasn't come back yet." Ning Qing trembled.

"Young Master is injured. If you are not injured..." Xiao Song said: "Don't worry, the young master is leading the masters from the previous blood village. And be prepared, the young master never fights uncertain battles!"

Ning Qing could only nod her head.

Before noon, Ning Qing heard the news that the ammunition depot in the palace was stolen last night!A total of ten boxes of ammunition were stolen!
After a while, Qingfeng came back to send a message: "The prince is well, but now the limelight is getting tighter. I am afraid that I will hurt the princess, so I avoided going out of Beijing."

Ning Qing felt relieved after listening.He was only worried about the development of the Shui Jingnian case.

"It's still early in the palace, let's go into the palace and have a look." Ning Qing said.

"Young lady, it's best to go with Princess Yongshun, she has a lot of contacts in the palace." Hui Ping said.

"Correct."

Ning Qing immediately went to find Princess Yongshun.Princess Yongshun also cared about Shui Jingnian, so she entered the palace with Princess Ning Qing and Princess Jiarou, and sat in a certain concubine's palace, letting the eunuchs keep inquiring about the situation and progress of the court.

Emperor Wenxuan's morning court today, the quarrel lasted until noon. The ministers even ate lunch in the palace, and then went back to the palace to continue the quarrel.

Concubine Yao burst into tears: "Your Majesty, you said that those guns belonged to Nian'er, and it was also Nian'er who snatched back the guns and killed people. There were two hundred guns in that batch! Now the ammunition is all ready! If it was really Nian'er who did it! Yes, I have already swept through the prison with guns and rescued Nian'er, and the concubine risked his life to say that if Nian'er really had the heart of disobedience, he would have forced him to come up now..."

Emperor Wenxuan glared at Concubine Yao, but his heart trembled!
Yes, if that batch of guns is really in the hands of people who have been in the water for a long time, the batch of ammunition that was lost last night.When the gun is loaded with ammunition, you can force the palace directly!Why stay in jail!
Besides, if these guns are really from Shui Jingnian, Shui Jingnian himself has the skills to make ammunition, so why hide it all the time and force them directly, the person sitting on this dragon chair now is probably Shui Jingnian !
Now he should worry about who owns those guns!

When Ning Qing learned of Emperor Wenxuan's reaction, she couldn't help sighing secretly, Song Zhuo was indeed Song Zhuo, and his methods were always so clever!Don't start with Shui Jingnian, don't start with Shui Jingdong and the guard, just steal ten boxes of bullets!Immediately wash away the water for years!
Emperor Wenxuan immediately asked the eunuch to pass the water in the prison for many years.

When Shui Jingnian learned of the progress of the case, his expression sank.Clenched fists.

Ever since he was thrown into the prison, Shui Jingdong's guard said that the person who grabbed the gun and killed him was a stunning man in red, so he knew that person was Song Zhuo!

He wanted to get rid of the suspicion, but he couldn't say that the man was Song Zhuo, otherwise he would have no evidence, and others would say he was mad.Besides, Song Zhuo had a relationship with Ning Qing, the emperor knew about it, if Song Zhuo confessed, then Ning Qing would be hurt.

Now, when he heard that the ammunition was stolen last night and that Ning Qing reconciled with Song Zhuo again, he guessed that it was Song Zhuo who did it!
Then connect them in series, it is very likely that this scene was originally directed by Song Zhuo!

Shui Jingnian soon went to the court, knelt down, and said with a blank expression, "I kowtow to my father."

"Nian'er..." Emperor Wenxuan frowned, and finally sighed: "Now it has been found out that the matter was not your fault. Someone else hid the gun and snatched it. I have wronged you these two days..."

Before he finished speaking, Shui Jingnian suddenly said: "Father, those guns are indeed hidden by my ministers!"

These words were like a bomb, blasting the entire hall to pieces, Concubine Yao's eyes went dark, she almost fainted, she finally got rid of the guilt, this idiot actually took it on her again!
"Nian'er, don't talk nonsense!" Yao Guifei immediately exclaimed.

"Shut up!" Emperor Wenxuan yelled angrily, "Come here, pull the imperial concubine down! The imperial court is not a place where women should appear!"

The situation was urgent just now, and Concubine Yao said it was reasonable, so he allowed her to stay in the court.

The two eunuchs immediately dragged Concubine Yao down, and Concubine Yao couldn't stop screaming: "Your Majesty, Nian'er has lost his mind! He's out of his mind! He's always been out of tune, Your Majesty, you know it!"

"What's going on? Shui Jingnian!" Emperor Wenxuan became more and more confused as he listened: "You killed Dong'er too?"

"I only hid the gun, the rest has nothing to do with me. It's not me who snatched the gun and killed people!" Shui Jingnian said coldly.

He doesn't need Song Zhuo to save him!Hurting him once and saving him again, who does Song Zhuo think he is?Is it God?Everyone is under his control!

He's not as stupid as Ning Qing, with such a big slap, just give him a sweet date, and he will be obedient!

He didn't necessarily want to get her, but he resented that she didn't know people clearly, and he insisted on stepping into it even though he knew it was a trap!
This Song Zhuo is obviously not a good person, he has many tricks and cruel methods, and he hurt her so deeply before, and her disfigured face, can it really be as if nothing happened after recovering?

There are thousands of good men in the world, even if you don't choose him, there are still a lot of young talents, why do you have to choose Song Zhuo?
Shui Jingnian just closed his eyes, no matter how the minister argued.

In the end, Emperor Wenxuan believed his words. He only hid the gun, and did not kill or grab the gun.

But only hiding guns has violated Emperor Wenxuan's taboo, but Shui Jingnian hid such a large number of guns, but there was no movement, and he seemed to have no resentment, but if he had no resentment, why did he hide guns again?

Moreover, now, those guns are still missing. What if someone uses them to threaten his throne?All mistakes are attributed to the year of the water.

In the end, he was sentenced to fifty days of fighting and thirty lashes.Then he took back the fertile fief in Guangnan, and gave the bitter cold, desolate and remote northwest as a fief, and distributed it to the northwest, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict.

Shui Jingnian thanked him and went out to receive his punishment.

When Ning Qing heard the news, she was stunned and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Is he stupid?" Princess Yongshun said: "Obviously the suspicion has been cleared, why did he plead guilty again and hit the muzzle of the gun? Isn't this looking for guilt?"

Ning Qing knew why.Shui Jingnian is still unable to let go and forgive her.

This was committed by Song Zhuo, and it was also caused by her.This should not have been endured by the water year after year.Is he taking revenge on her?
At least, you can't suffer from flesh and blood!Fifty big boards have already lost half of their lives, and with thirty whips added, it will be difficult to live!

Even if they survived by luck, the journey to the northwest is long and the weather is very cold. If one is not handled properly, he may die.

"Sister Qing, where are you going?" Princess Jiarou asked.

"I'm going to ask the emperor."

"Are you crazy?" Princess Jiarou said, "Now those guns are gone, Uncle Huang is furious, it's useless for anyone to beg, and he will be punished."

"useful."

Ning Qing walked out the door quickly after speaking.

Emperor Wenxuan was in his study. Ning Qing wanted to see Emperor Wenxuan, but the little eunuch waved his hand, and he dared not tell him.

Ning Qing took out a bank note from her bosom, and the little eunuch's eyes lit up when he saw it, it was worth 1 taels of silver!I knew that Princess Ning was rich, but I didn't expect that he would be so generous when he made a move!
The little eunuch said: "I just pass you a message." After saying that, he went in: "Your Majesty, Princess Qianting wants to see you."

Emperor Wenxuan was irritable, and when he heard it, he was furious: "Let her go back!"

Emperor Wenxuan was angry with Shui Jingnian, and Ning Qing was brought back by Shui Jingnian, and his relationship with Shui Jingnian was as close as a relative. As soon as she came, Emperor Wenxuan knew that he was pleading for Shui Jingnian.

When Ning Qing heard it outside, she bit her lips. She knew that Emperor Wenxuan would not see her, but she must.

Seeing that the guards on both sides were unprepared, Ning Qing walked in.The little eunuch who hadn't left yet turned pale with fright.

When Emperor Wenxuan saw Ning Qing, he was furious: "Bold Ning Qing! There is no order to face the saint, you want to rebel?"

"My daughter is guilty." Ning Qing knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to Emperor Wenxuan.
