Mrs. Pinqiao

Chapter 97 The Uninvited Guest

Tea is good tea, but the two people who drink it are not thinking about it, and they have their own ghosts, and they are secretly competing.

After drinking a cup of tea, Ning Zimo couldn't wait for Li Jue to speak, so he had to speak first, "I lost someone in my mansion. I heard that he entered the prince's mansion. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Who is Ning Xiang referring to?"

"Tan Su."

Li Jue gently stroked the pattern on the teacup with his fingers, "There is such a person who is visiting my house. Why, Ning Xiang is afraid that the king will neglect her?"

Ning Zimo raised the corners of his mouth and smiled softly, "It's not that I'm worried about it, it's just that she has always been in poor health, and I have lost her appetite. I'm afraid she won't be used to eating in a sudden change of environment."

"Ning Xiang, don't worry, the visitor is a guest, and this king will entertain him well."

Ning Zi remained silent, just staring at Li Jue and smiling faintly, which was enough to make people feel uncertain.

Li Jue took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and continued, "I don't know what it means that Prime Minister Ning sent so many people to surround the palace."

"My lord misunderstood. I don't have the guts to send troops to surround the palace. It's just that I met an assassin on the mountain yesterday and I had lingering fears, so I had to go out and bring more people."

Li Jue snorted coldly, "Isn't there Qi Bing here, are you still afraid of assassins?"

Ning Zimo glanced at Qi Bing behind him, and turned to look at Li Jue with his head propped up. There was an indescribable aura between his brows, a half-smile, "My lord's words are different, Qi Bing was there the day the lower official was assassinated." , was still injured by the thieves, but I heard that there are not many people in this world who can hurt people in Qi Bing's hands, and Commander Lu in the palace happens to be one."

Li Jue's complexion changed slightly, and he remained silent.

Ning Zimo gently put down the empty teacup, stood up slowly, and looked around, "The lower official advised the prince not to do useless work, let's invite the guests out, otherwise the lower official can't find anyone, and I don't know what he will do. .”

Every word he said was full of coercion and could not be refuted, as if he was born with a sense of superiority and could despise the common people, "The prince has just come out, it is better to take good care of your body, don't do unnecessary things. "

Li Jue's fingers became tighter and tighter, almost crushing the cup, and then slowly loosened, "Since Ning Xiang was assassinated, why didn't he recuperate in the mansion and come to my palace to find someone."

"It's just a small injury, it's nothing to worry about." Ning Zimo said lightly, and the other party was speechless, "It seems that the prince doesn't plan to let me meet the guests, is there any inconvenience?"

Li Jue looked at him coldly, "The palace of the king is no better than the mansion of the prime minister. There are more rules. Please forgive me, my lord."

Ning Zi smiled instead of anger, "It's okay, I'll be staying in the palace for a few days, see you later when it's convenient, and I hope the prince will take more care of you."

Li Jue had seen Ning Zimo's brazenness before, and it could really make people gnash their teeth with hatred. He brushed his sleeves vigorously, and said angrily: "I am a majestic palace, so you can enter it as soon as you want, and live as long as you want?"

Ning Zimo still had that strategizing appearance, not afraid at all, "Your majesty must be very pleased to know that the subordinate and the prince can live in harmony. If the prince doesn't believe it, the subordinate can ask for an imperial decree. At that time, the subordinate will ask How long to stay is not up to you and me to decide, but the emperor's decision."

Li Jue's face became more and more ugly, and he slapped his palm on the table again, but he finally suppressed his anger, "Come here, prepare a room for Ning Xiang."

Ning Zimo stood up and smiled faintly, "Thank you, my lord."

"Hmph." Li Jue turned and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Tan Su was awakened by someone shaking in her deep sleep. She opened her eyes in a daze, her vision was a little blurry, "My lord?"

Li Jue stroked her hair slowly, and said softly, "Ning Zimo surrounded the palace with people, and he can't get out for the time being. I'll take you to a remote courtyard to hide."

Tan Su grabbed his sleeve, "Why do you want to hide?"

Li Jue froze for a moment, "You want to go back with him?"

Tan Su nodded, and continued: "Why did the prince give up after such a good situation was laid out?"

"I don't want you to put yourself in danger again."

Tan Su suddenly felt that Li Jue's eyes were scorching, and lowered her head in panic, "My lord missed this opportunity, but there will be no chance."

Li Jue fell into deep thought, rubbed the corner of his clothes lightly with his fingers, and said in a deep voice, "There will always be opportunities again, and you only have one life, so don't worry about it."

Before Tan Su could reply, she was hugged by Lianren with the quilt, and she grabbed his skirt in a panic, "Have you thought about it? Even if you can wait for the opportunity, ten years? Or 20 years? Da Nie, why wait?" It took so long?"

"I've made up my mind, and I will bear it all by myself." Li Jue just walked out.

"My lord, let me down!"

Li Jue finally stopped, and after thinking about it, he put her down. As soon as Tan Su landed on the ground, she took two steps back, knelt down in front of him with a "boom", and said proudly, "My lord, please put the overall situation first." ! Don't let Tan Su's hard work go to waste!"

He took a deep breath and frowned slightly, as if he didn't want to see this scene, "You have done enough, even if you give up now, no one will say anything, I will give you a stable life, Is it not enough to save you from being displaced?"

"This is not what Tan Su wants." Tan Su knelt on the ground, raised her head and looked directly at him, neither humble nor overbearing, "From the moment Tan Su stepped into the palace, he decided to give the prince a prosperous and clean court, and go through fire and water. I don’t hesitate! I don’t want glory and wealth, I just want to solve the worries and problems for the prince!”

Li Jue's chest ached again, throbbing and throbbing. Looking into her clear eyes, he couldn't say anything, he could only ask her repeatedly: "Are you really thinking about it?"

"I have no regrets in this life."

"Even if you can't do anything in the end, even if you die unexpectedly, you..."

"Will be willing."

Li Jue's heart miraculously calmed down, just like when he was only half alive in the dungeon. It seemed that as long as he looked at her unwavering eyes, all the anxiety and hesitation would disappear.

She leaned over and knocked heavily on the ground, "Tan Su is willing to give it a try, and I ask the prince to give this opportunity. No matter what the result is, it is Tan Su's own choice and has nothing to do with others."

Li Jue looked at her silently. After watching for a long time, he finally sighed, and stretched out his hand to help her up, "You are injured, why don't you know how to cherish yourself?"

Tan Su stood up hesitantly, "Then the prince..."

"Since you don't want to, can I force you to do it?"

Tan Su finally smiled, like a snow lotus blooming in an instant, elegant and bright, with a pair of eyebrows and eyes like crescent moons, she leaned over and made a bow, "Thank you, my lord."

Li Jue's chest hurt again, but this time it was a little different, mixed with a strange heartbeat, beating "chug chug", crisp and numb.

There is really no cure for heart disease.
