Chapter 199 Who to choose?
Nianxi was taken home.
During the two days since I went missing, my parents and brother were really worried. They looked everywhere and asked everyone for help.
When Nianxi came down from the Jueyue Tower, everyone saw that it was Miss Xu from the Minister of War's Mansion who abducted her. Although it was a bit illogical, the matter was covered up in public.
It also saved Nianxi's reputation.
It's better than Prince Jing taking her away.
Although Nianxi has been kept in solitary custody, rumors can still frighten people and gossip can destroy a person.
I heard that His Majesty has found it.
It was Concubine Shu who secretly carried the person out of the bedroom and hid him in Yan Qing's room.
No one thought that the emperor would be lying with a lowly secret guard, especially since Yan Qing had been injured some time ago and had been bedridden, it was even more difficult to attract attention.
He managed to escape several searches by Empress Lu and Prince Jing.
It was also thanks to Lu Wensheng's mediation. Whether it was rescuing His Majesty or helping to hide, it was a statement of one's stance. In short, the merits and demerits offset each other.
But Emperor Jing's health was not very good.
When the prince found him, he was already breathing out more than breathing in.
Because the poisoning was too severe and lasted too long, despite the best efforts of the imperial physician, his whole body was still stiff and he could not move. Fortunately, after three days, he was finally able to speak.
And the first thing he said was to punish Prince Jing.
All the officials of Prince Jing's party were imprisoned, including the entire Xu family who had to side with Xiao Xun because of Xu Wanxin.
Empress Lu was stripped of her imperial seal, demoted to a commoner, and imprisoned in the cold palace awaiting her fate.
The prince has full control over the country.
The first decree was to bury the Right Prime Minister and Lord Zhang with great honor, to posthumously confer titles on the two old ministers, and to bestow grace on their descendants.
The sharp contrast between the prince's kindness and Xiao Xun's cruelty won him more and more hearts.
Gu Ci, who had made great contributions in saving the emperor, was made a general and a marquis. Because of his bravery and skill in fighting, he was given the title of Marquis of Guanjun. From then on, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had one duke and one marquis, and the family became more prosperous.
As for Pei Jian, he had been following the prince since he entered the officialdom and making plans. During this time when Prince Jing was causing chaos, he was even more cautious in deploying troops and making every move carefully.
Now all of Prince Jing's faction has been captured. Although Your Majesty is in poor health and has some flaws, he is still the most trusted and loyal minister in Xiao Heng's heart.
Therefore, the right prime minister Teng Xian died for his country, and Pei Jian was promoted out of turn to become the youngest prime minister in the history of Dajing.
Pei Jian and Gu Ci, civil officials and military generals, were like the brightest two stars and were the great contributors to the suppression of the rebellion.
He is also the most popular young talent in Beijing today.
All of the above were just hearsay to Nianxi.
Since that night, she has been recuperating in her mansion.
More than half a month has passed, and the bloodstain on the neck is now only a faint scar. In time, not even a trace will be left.
Her parents loved her the most to begin with, and after what happened, they wanted to hold her in their hands even more. As long as Nianxi liked something, whether it was food, daily necessities, or clothes, they would satisfy her.
When talking to her, he always speaks softly, as if he is afraid that louder sounds will frighten her.
Several times, Nianxi was at a loss for words. "Dad, please speak normally. Your voice is too soft for me to hear."
Father Wen responded positively, but after a while, the voice became gentle again.
The Li family is no less impressive.
It was a summer day, the sun was shining brightly, and she usually kept an eye on Nianxi and told her not to eat ice. But now she was even more serious, and would ask her from time to time, "Do you want to eat lactose real snow today? Where's the ice and snow Leng Yuanzi? I'll ask the servants to buy some."
"There are a lot of new jewellery at the Jewel House. Do you want to go out and buy some headgear?"
Nianxi had just eaten ice cream the day before, so she wasn’t too hungry. As for jewelry, she had no shortage of it.
The dressing table was filled with things that Li had added to her recently.
It's stressful.
Nianxi feels hot and seldom goes out, so she can't wear it.
So I rejected them all.
This made Mr. and Mrs. Wen even more worried, and their brows never relaxed when Nianxi couldn't see them.
Wen Qingheng was also worried privately.
He was very annoyed, so he went to Qin Lang to ask for help, "What do you think is the rule now?"
Qin Lang himself was also confused.
But in front of Wen Qingheng, she refused to show her fear, and instead said calmly, "My sister is not anxious, why should you, a eunuch, be anxious?"
If it was a normal day, Wen Qingheng would always argue with him, but now he was not in the mood, "You don't know, Nian'er is too abnormal now."
Qin Lang pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"She loves to go out every day, either to the shop, to the Sixth Hospital, or to play with her little sisters."
"But ever since that unkind Xu Wanxin abducted her, she was sent back by Pei Jian and Gu Ci. So many days have passed, and she has stayed in the mansion and refused to go anywhere. She even doesn't like the cold food she usually likes!"
Wen Qingheng's eyebrows were wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character.
Qin Lang had also seen a lot of big scenes in his time.
Gu Ci dotes on his sister so much that on last year's Chinese Valentine's Day, he filled half of the table with cold food just for his sister to have a taste of something new. He was really shocked by that scene.
now--
Qin Lang grasped the key point, "You mean, Gu Ci has been back for so long, and he hasn't looked for his sister yet!"
Wen Qingheng shook his head.
Qin Lang rubbed his hands nervously, "Where's Pei Jian? Did he go?"
Wen Qingheng still shook his head.
"ah!"
Qin Lang exclaimed briefly, "Why is this happening?"
Wen Qingheng glanced sideways with disdain:
If I knew, why would I ask you?
"Could it be that - these two people have reached the pinnacle of their lives, and suddenly feel that love is a trivial matter and is not worth mentioning, and have cut off all feelings and love and started a new life?!"
Wen Qingheng snorted lightly, not convinced by what he said, "My sister doesn't care about it."
Qin Lang nodded randomly, but his mind had already wandered far away.
Shi Zhang's feelings for his sister are clear and obvious to all. Not to mention the distant past, just in that assassination, Shi Zhang was a man who was willing to sacrifice his life.
Even he was shocked by Pei Jian's obsession with his sister.
He used to think that obsession had a time limit. A year was considered a long time, and at most two or three years. There would always be a day when passion would fade.
How long can anyone persist in a relationship that has no hope?
But after experiencing Fang Hongxi, the assassination, Xu Wanxin and a series of events, is there really no trace of Pei Jian in my sister's heart?
As for the resignation, the love of young age is always unforgettable and difficult to erase.
Who hasn't seen a young man full of vigor and vitality, giving his heart to win a smile from the girl he loves?
Anyone can be ruthless and cut off from love, except for these two people.
"Who do you think my sister will choose?"
If it were before, Wen Qingheng would definitely not hesitate, but now he is hesitant.
The two looked at each other and then looked away at the same time.
One said, "I suddenly remembered that the government office still has some matters to deal with."
Another said, "Yes, my mother is going to a banquet and asked me to pick her up after the banquet."
The two said goodbye in a hurry.
The one who was going to the government office turned around and went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, while the one who lied that he was going to pick up his mother turned around and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
