Chapter 118 Want to see her

Madam Yan glanced at her daughter and said with a smile, "I haven't heard you mention Fourth Miss Ning before, why are you interested in her now?"

Princess Xuan naturally didn't want to reveal Sanlang's feelings, so she only said, "We didn't have a deep contact before, but after getting to know each other carefully, I found that this fourth girl is a good person and her age is just right."

The female rulers of the same age as Sanlang who were supposed to be engaged were all engaged, but those who were younger were much older than Sanlang, so Princess Xuan did not consider them.

How could Madam Yan not understand what she meant? She said, "You and I grew up together. Don't worry. I won't fight for what you like."

Princess Xuan still couldn't smile. Now, Lu Erlang from the Lu Mansion was the one who really worried her.

After Princess Xuan left, Madam Yan looked at Zhang He, sighed, and said, "Have you given up?"

Zhang's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You are my daughter, why can't I guess? You are about seven or eight years older than the prince, and even the princess didn't consider you. The prince is an adult man, so he naturally treats you as a sister, not a woman who matches him."

Although Mrs. Yan's words were direct, they were realistic. Moreover, if she was not direct, her daughter's heart would be given to the wrong person.

Zhang He lowered his head and tears fell.

"What the princess meant is what the prince meant, that he has taken a fancy to the fourth young lady." Madam Yan said, "The fourth young lady Ning is beautiful. Even if you compete with her, how can you win over her? There is no man who doesn't like beauty. The only difference is whether you can say it out loud or hide it."

Zhang He's tears wet her handkerchief: "I won't compete with Sister Ning."

"You are still young. There will be a young man who is worthy of you in the future." Madam Yan wiped away her tears and said earnestly.

Zhang He nodded, but fell seriously ill as a result.

Right now, Zhang Linsheng has not recovered yet, and Zhang He has fallen ill again. The entire Hua'an Prefecture is now in a panic, fearing that something might have happened to the two masters.

Naturally, Prince Xuan’s palace used all kinds of top-quality medicinal materials and took great care of them.

When Ning Fu visited Zhang He on behalf of Prince Xuan, he had lost a lot of weight and looked drowsy.

Seeing that she was still asleep, Nymph just glanced at her and tucked the quilt in for her.

Before leaving, I heard her whisper in her sleep, "Brother Prince."

Not knowing what she was dreaming about, Nymph looked back at her and saw that her face was flushed.

Madam Yan also lost a lot of weight due to self-blame. She said to Ninfu directly, "Fourth Miss, Ah He is still young. If she makes you unhappy, don't bear a grudge against her. I have already told her. She is yours. Ah He is a little girl who knows nothing. You can't take her away."

In the past few days, she also got a general idea from Zhang He.

Ning Fu smiled and said, "Sister Ah He can naturally fight for it." She just didn't like Zhang He talking about his admiration for Zong Si in front of her, especially after she saw Zong Si kiss her.

Mrs. Yan was about to speak when she saw Zong Si coming over.

Apparently, he had just returned to Beijing today. He was wearing a dark blue silk coat with willow patterns. When he saw Nymph, he paused and said, "Madam Yan."

While he was saying hello, his peripheral vision had already glanced at Nymph countless times.

"Madam Yan, I'll go back home first." Ning Fu said without looking at Zong Si.

"Since the fourth young lady still has things to do, please go back first." Mrs. Yan said.

Ning Fu bowed to Zong Si and left.

Zong Si looked back at her for a long time, until the figure disappeared around the corner, then he withdrew his gaze.

The wound on my chest still hurts a little.

But when he was injured, the first thought in his mind was to see her.

Zong Si also felt that he was possessed by a demon, but he really wanted to see her. The more painful his injuries were, the more he wanted to see her. If she could show some heartache, he would probably be very happy.

But she avoided him.

Zong Si reached out and stroked the purse worn around Ning Fuxiu's waist with an indifferent expression.

"It would be good for the prince to come and see Ah He." Madam Yan sighed.

When Zhang He woke up, he saw Zong Si, and his eyes lit up. Then he called out very measuredly, "Brother Crown Prince."

"A Ning asked me to bring you some little gadgets. Since you're sick and can't leave the house, keep them to kill time." These were prepared by Qu Yang for Zong Ning, and Zong Ning asked him to pass them on to Zhang He.

Zhang He lowered his eyes and said, "Brother Prince, why are you so nice to me?"

Zong Si said calmly: "I have treated you as my sister since you were a child, so you don't have to feel burdened."

Zhang He bit her lip, not understanding for a moment whether the prince was trying to warn her not to have any bad thoughts.

This speculation made her feel very uncomfortable.

"That day I was in the Fourth Prince's Mansion and saw Brother Crown Prince and Sister Ning together." Zhang He said softly.

These words made Zong Si pause, but he didn't say anything.

"Brother Prince, do you have any plans to marry Sister Ning?" Zhang He asked courageously.

"It's not like I can marry her just because I want to." Zong Si glanced at her and said calmly, "Sister Ah He, please don't tell anyone about this, otherwise your sister Ning will not forgive me."

Zhang He could hear some tenderness in her voice. It was impossible for the prince to be afraid of Sister Ning, so why was he worried that Sister Ning would not forgive him? It was just that when a man was courting a mate, he would take the initiative to show weakness.

"I won't tell you." Zhang He said again, "Does Sister Ning like Mr. Lu?"

Zong Si was silent for a while, then asked, "Do you think your sister Ning likes him?"

"Sister Ning always smiles when she sees him. When Lord Ning returned to the capital, Mr. Lu also went to the Duke's Mansion for a dinner. People outside say that Madam Ning and Lord Ning both have their eyes on Mr. Lu."

Zhang He was a little cautious when he said this.

There was no change in Zong Si's expression, but he didn't speak for a long time.

These things were already known to everyone in the capital, so he had naturally heard a lot of rumors.

Zong Si couldn't help feeling unbalanced sometimes. He had been so close to her, but almost no one knew about it.

No one knew that he was once her husband.

He knew that there was a previous life, but he was not clear about what happened in it, so he was trapped between the confusion of the previous life and the reality of this life, neither going up nor down.

"Have a good rest." Zong Si naturally had no intention of staying any longer.

Zhang He bit her lip, clearly seeing the disappointment in his eyes. How could a man like the Crown Prince, who was like a god, be disappointed?

-

The day when Zong Si goes to the north is getting closer.

The staff who worked for him also gathered together to discuss the distribution of tasks.

After finishing the business, no one knew who started to tease Lu Xingzhi: "Duke Ning is very special to you. When you become the son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion in the future, I'm afraid you will reach a higher level."

However, he had no access to confidential information regarding Prince Xuan's Palace. Since he did not hold a core position, he made room for others, and everyone was naturally happy about it.

"It's a pity for the prince's cultivation." Some people also expressed regret.

"Your Highness is not a person who cares about things like that. Lord Lu is about to have a good time, and you are happy for him, right, Lord Lu?"

Zong Si curled his lips and smiled without any meaning, but said nothing.

Qu Yang said silently in his heart, Lord Lu is marrying the prince's sweetheart, how can the prince be happy?

It's just that no one knows what the prince is thinking, so everyone can mention Fourth Miss Ning and Lord Lu in front of the prince, not knowing that this is stabbing the prince in the heart.

Lu Xingzhi also said nothing.

"Why did you explain it in such detail this time, Prince?" It seemed as if he was preparing for not being able to come back.

Zong Si did not explain, but at this moment, he suddenly wanted to see Ning Fu.

Although judging from the fact that he married Nymph in his previous life, Emperor Jingwen failed to take his life, it was still a difficult hurdle.

At night, a horse-drawn carriage belonging to an ordinary family stopped in an alley not far from the Ningguo Mansion.

A masked man dressed in black stared in the direction of the Duke's Mansion for a long time, playing with a purse in his hand.

He could certainly sneak into the Duke's Mansion. He was familiar with the roads inside, and it was not difficult for him to avoid the patrolling guards.

But he still sat for a long, long time, perhaps an hour, before he said, "Let's go."

Qu Yang said: "The people inside have been explained."

Zong Si pondered for a moment and said, "If I go in, I'm afraid she will be even more annoyed with me."

"Your Highness won't have any regrets?" Qu Yang said.

This time I don’t know when I can return to Beijing, and I don’t know if I can return safely.

Maybe she will get married during this period.

How can I not regret it?

But he also didn't want to see her look of alertness and annoyance when she saw him.

The carriage disappeared into the night.

No one knew he had been there.
