The rebirth of the first daughter of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 80: Enemy or Friend
Nangong Mingxuan nodded, and raised his hand to point out a way for her: "You can go back from there, you have to be careful, don't let others find out."

"Thank you, Third Master." Su Ruiran turned her horse's head and headed towards the direction Nangong Mingxuan pointed.She didn't doubt it, because if Nangong Mingxuan wanted to expose her identity, he would have already asked the people he brought to arrest her early in the morning. Nangong Mingxuan didn't call her by name from the beginning, and even arrested her. Taking it to such a remote place to talk, it is obvious that she doesn't want people to know who she is.

As for Nangong Mingxuan's intentions, she knew more or less in her heart.

She had turned her back to Nangong Mingxuan, but she did not rush to gallop the horse, but held the rein and let the horse walk forward in small steps.

However, she had just walked a few steps when she suddenly heard Nangong Mingxuan's voice from behind: "Wait a minute."

She was taken aback, and immediately tightened the rein in her hand, but didn't turn her head back immediately.Hearing something wrong with the other party's voice, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, did he suddenly regret and change his mind?
Hearing that there was no sound coming from behind, Su Ruiran had no choice but to turn around, and saw Nangong Mingxuan was still behind her, still in the same position as before, there was no difference.However, as soon as she looked over, Nangong Mingxuan immediately said, "Miss Su, can I ask you one more question? But please tell me the truth."

The other party's words came too suddenly, and Su Ruiran didn't know how to answer for a while, so she could only say: "What is the third master, but it doesn't matter."

She didn't agree, but at least she had to listen to what the other party wanted to ask.

"Miss is here for Prince Huai's business?"

Nangong Mingxuan's question made her speechless for a moment, and she also felt worried in her heart.How should I answer?If it was not the case, Nangong Mingxuan would definitely be sure of it when he asked this question.But if he said yes, if he continued to ask, wouldn't he force himself to tell the story of overhearing him talking to Nangong Cheng?In fact, when he appeared like that at the time, Nangong Mingxuan might not have been suspicious in his heart. Maybe he already knew it at that time, but he just didn't expose it.

The more Su Ruiran thought about it, the more she frowned, and she was at a loss for a while.

Nangong Mingxuan looked at her expression, and knew in his heart that his guess was right.It seems that she really came here for Nangong Ling, is she willing to take such a risk for Nangong Ling?Thinking of this, Nangong Mingxuan was more or less unhappy, but in the end he just said to her: "Miss Su also knows that Prince Huai will be in danger, so she didn't hesitate to take the risk and rushed here just to inform the prince. .”

He pointed it out so bluntly that Su Ruiran didn't know how to deal with it.With his head down, he tugged on the rein with a little force.

Nangong Mingxuan's eyes stayed on her all the time, his sharp eyes seemed to see through her.He could speak so clearly, just wanted to see how Su Ruiran would explain the matter between her and Nangong Ling.Unreasonable displeasure in her heart, is it because of Duke Huai that she rejected herself?All along, the woman he wanted was always available, even if the other party was Nangong Ling, he could not accept such a setback.

Su Ruiran was silent for a long time, finally nodded, and admitted frankly: "Yes, you are right, I am indeed here to inform Lord Huai of the danger."

She had a rough idea of ​​the plan just now.Nangong Mingxuan did not have martial arts, and he deliberately avoided talking to his subordinates. It seemed that there should be no ambush around, so even if he wanted to get out at this time, it should not be difficult.And once they escaped and returned to the camp, they would have nothing to do with themselves.

If they really make a big fuss, they don't know that they are calling themselves.It wouldn't do them any good if people found out about their attempt to assassinate Nangong Ling.

What's more, the emperor already knew that King De conspired, but there was no definite evidence. If they really did, wouldn't they just mention the emperor to create evidence?Nangong Mingxuan would not be so confused, so she concluded that even if she admitted it, Nangong Mingxuan would not do anything to her.What's more, since I accidentally ran into Nangong Cheng and Lan Xi's affair that night, and was found out, didn't De Wang's side treat him as a thorn in his side early on?

When Nangong Mingxuan heard her admit it so frankly, he felt a chill in his heart at first. Sure enough, she and Nangong Ling had something personal.In fact, he has long suspected this, but it has never been confirmed.Suddenly angry for no reason in his heart, Nangong Mingxuan's hands hidden under his sleeves gradually clenched into fists, but his face remained as usual, and he said to Su Ruiran: "In this case, why didn't Miss Su report to the emperor in advance? "

Su Ruiran was taken aback when she heard the words, did she hear correctly, Nangong Mingxuan actually asked him to report to the emperor, isn't that the same as digging his own grave?

She speculated endlessly in her heart, staring at Nangong Mingxuan's eyes, the other's eyes were as deep as an ancient well, pitch black and bottomless, the only thing she could see was her own "reflection".What is his purpose, is he testing himself?Could it be that he was afraid that he would have rescuers, so he asked himself if he had informed the emperor in advance.

Thinking of this possibility, Su Ruiran became even more vigilant, and she must not leave any openings, so she replied carefully: "Thank you for the reminder, the third master, what the third master said is the natural truth, I understood it early on."

She deliberately answered ambiguously, also to make the other party uncertain.The right hand hidden in the sleeve also began to touch the dagger in his hand, ready to strike immediately if the situation changed.

So what about Nangong Mingxuan, no matter who it is, as long as her life is threatened, she will strike without hesitation.

Nangong Mingxuan stared at her, sensing a trace of extraction from her expression that could be hidden, suddenly his eyes sank and fell on her right hand.

Su Ruiran held back the panic in her heart a little, and wanted to hide her right hand behind her back, but forcibly restrained this urge, and remained motionless.If you hide at this time, isn't it just not calling yourself to let the other party see the difference?
Fortunately, Nangong Mingxuan's gaze didn't stay on her right hand for too long. After a long time, he raised his head again, and then turned his gaze back to her face.

But at this moment, Nangong Mingxuan suddenly laughed.

The laughter was not loud, but at this moment, it reverberated in Su Ruiran's slightly panicked heart, and there was an indescribable ear-piercing.

"Third Master, what are you laughing at?" She frowned, but subconsciously leaned back, pulled the rein tightly, and made a gesture of fleeing immediately.

However, Nangong Mingxuan suddenly got off his horse, which surprised her again.

Nangong Mingxuan raised his hands, with a smile still on his face, and said to her, "Are you afraid that I will suddenly attack you?"

Su Ruiran shook her teeth, forcibly restraining her emotions.Nangong Mingxuan was indeed too smart. Even if he didn't reveal it, he could guess what was in his heart so accurately.

"Miss Su, I know you heard everything."

Su Ruiran was even more surprised, but she quickly calmed down, she didn't say a word, she just stared at the other person, waiting to see what he had to say.

Nangong Mingxuan saw that she could still maintain a calm expression after hearing what he said, and couldn't help sighing that he really underestimated this woman in the past.Unexpectedly, she could be so unruffled in the face of danger, she is really better than many men, she is worthy of being Su Xiang's daughter.

However, to Nangong Mingxuan's surprise, Su Ruiran suddenly heard Su Ruiran say before he could speak first: "Since the third master has already spoken out, then we will keep people secret. Since the third master has withdrawn Left and right, they probably didn't want to catch me. Then, what is the purpose of the third master, you might as well speak out."

She is betting that Nangong Mingxuan has always been a person who likes to leave a way out for himself, and today's matter may not be different.

Nangong Mingxuan smiled again when he heard the words, and said: "Miss Su is really quick to speak, since that's the case, I will speak directly." His face suddenly became serious, and his tone was also very serious, and said to Su Ruiran: " Since I am the son of Prince De, I am forced to do many things by the orders of my father and brother, but I do not completely agree with the actions of the two of them. Therefore, I have no intention of harming Duke Huai, and more importantly..." He deliberately said this Pausing for a moment, there was a trace of tenderness in the eyes looking over, and then said: "I don't want you to be hurt in any way."

Su Ruiran was stunned for a moment, but felt that his gaze was as gentle as water, like a warm abyss, which made people fall into it.But she quickly regained her composure, it was Nangong Mingxuan, and it was his effective trick, how could she repeat the same mistakes in this life and be fooled again?
"You don't need to believe me, but I can let you go now, and I hope you can go back and report to the emperor immediately, so that he can immediately come to support Duke Huai."

Su Ruiran listened to what he said, regardless of his feelings for her, but since he said this, it meant that he had a chance to escape successfully.That being the case, why not just count on it.Thinking of this, Su Ruiran nodded and said to him: "Of course I believe in the third master, the third master will not harm me. If so, then I will immediately go back and report to the emperor as the third master said."

"Come on, leave the rest to me."

Nangong Mingxuan agreed so readily, Su Ruiran didn't think too much, and didn't hesitate too much, and immediately got on the horse.

This time, she didn't want to go forward slowly like she did at the beginning, but directly raised the whip and galloped the horse without looking back.

She kept going all the way, and after running for an unknown amount of time, she finally slowed down the horse a little bit, and when she turned around again, there was no one chasing after her.

Could it be that Nangong Mingxuan really wanted to betray King De?But it's not surprising to think about it this way. If King De really succeeds in rebelling, then he will definitely make Nan Gongcheng the crown prince.But for Nangong Mingxuan, there was no advantage in De Wang winning.No matter how deep his thoughts are, he can't control the likes and dislikes of an old fox like King De.

In fact, what Nangong Mingxuan said was not bad, it is indeed a good way to tell the emperor at this time.

What's more, what she saw with her own eyes just now, King De's people have already taken action, so she is not afraid of being unclear when so many people testify.Thinking of this, she immediately made a decision, and no longer rushed to chase Nangong Ling, but rode back to the camp.

Nangong Mingxuan stood where he was, staring at Su Ruiran's back as he rode away, silent.

Soon the accompanying people rushed over, seeing that he hadn't come back for a long time, they were very worried.

"Third Master, are you okay?"

Nangong Mingxuan withdrew his gaze, and returned to the indifference and calmness of the past, and said humanely to his subordinates: "It's okay."

"Third Master, the Eldest Young Master has sent someone to ask again."

Nangong Mingxuan frowned, Nangong Cheng lived in the back and did nothing, and according to his father's arrangement, he had to report everything to him.Thinking of this, Nangong Mingxuan felt a little displeased in his heart, but he said patiently: "Tell brother, everything is in plan. I have already said what I should say, and I have done what I should do. Now Finally, we can withdraw our troops and return to camp.”

After he finished speaking the last few words, his eyes sank again, and a bone-piercing cold light flashed in his eyes.

The game, however, has only just begun.
