Chapter 58 Marriage Intentions
Ning Fu actually knows Yue Niang well. Although she no longer wants to enter Prince Xuan's mansion, she still has some feelings for Zong Si.
Even now, Yue Niang must be dissatisfied with the dispute between herself and Zong Si. She was working for Zong Si, so she must be on her side, so she tactfully drove her away.
Seeing her like this, Ning Fu naturally did not stay any longer. She had to go back as soon as possible to arrange the follow-up matters.
Zong Si rubbed his eyebrows.
Seeing his frown, Yue Niang wanted to reach out and smooth it away for him, but she also knew that Zong Si did not like being touched, so she said in a soft voice, "Fourth Miss's matter is her matter only. You don't have to take her words to heart."
"You go down." Zong Si said impatiently.
Yue Niang paused and smiled, "Yes, Your Highness, you should rest early. We will return to the capital in a few days. Your Highness should not worry about these trivial matters anymore. There are important matters waiting for you in the capital."
After Yue Niang left, everything became very quiet.
Zong Si was writing a letter. He had to inform Prince Xuan's Mansion of recent events first, but suddenly a wronged "My dear" sounded in his mind. The tearful face seemed to appear before him, and the pen stopped in the air for a moment.
The man's eyes were unclear, and after a moment, he picked up the pen again as if nothing had happened.
…
"You're finally back." When Jingcheng saw her, his brows finally relaxed a little, and he walked forward and held her hand.
"Grandmother wanted to make a deal with the prince a few days ago, but the deal was not concluded." Nymph thought for a moment and said, "Where is my cousin now?"
"My brother hasn't been back for some time." Jingcheng said worriedly.
Ning Fu had a bad feeling in her heart, and whispered, "Cousin, can you prepare your luggage tonight? Maybe... we have to go find King Jin."
Jingcheng's eyes were filled with tears, but she smiled sweetly and hugged her tightly: "My uncle is in Liangzhou. If you have any problems, go find him. I will come to play with you later."
Ning Fu hugged her tightly. She would not abandon her and would send her cousin to King Jin safely.
"Afu, you are a girl from the Duke's Mansion, so you must not get involved in the Princess's Mansion." Jing Cheng said.
The two of them slept together at night. Jingcheng clung to her and murmured, "Why are all men like this?"
Nymph said nothing.
Jingcheng rested his head on her arm, kissed her cheek, and curled his lips: "In the next life, I will be a man and take good care of you."
"Okay, but in this life, cousin, you have to live well too."
"Have I ever told you that the man I like is also a bad guy." Jing Cheng thought for a moment and said, "He kissed me, and then told me to get out. He didn't even come to see me when I came to Yongzhou. He was probably afraid that the Princess' Mansion would affect him."
"Young master in the capital?"
"It's the third prince, Meng Yuan." Jing Cheng smiled.
But Nymph couldn't laugh anymore.
"I don't mind him having a leg disease, but he looks down on me. He doesn't care about anything as he appears to be, he also wants to be the emperor." Jing Cheng sighed, "Men without emotions love to pursue power, right?"
Nymph's heart was greatly shocked.
Suddenly I remembered what the genius doctor Mu Ruoheng said, "There are not only two princes in the palace."
At that time, she just thought that Mu Ruoheng did not have a definite side between Meng Che and Meng Ze, but according to what Jing Cheng said, could it be that Mu Ruoheng stood with Meng Yuan?
And no one would think of him in the struggle for imperial power. Isn't this what Emperor Jingwen did - to reap the benefits while others are still playing?
Ning Fu recalled Meng Yuan's personality. He didn't care much about anything. Because of his leg disease, he seldom went out and it was difficult for him to get married. Not to mention in the palace, even in the capital, he had no sense of existence. Therefore, few people knew what kind of person he was.
"Afu, I'm a little sleepy." Jingcheng said.
Nymph said, "Go to sleep, I'm here."
In the dead of night, Ningfu was called out of bed. The man bowed and said, "Fourth Miss, I will take you to see the eldest princess."
"Who are you?"
"It's me. The prince asked me to take the fourth young lady to see the eldest princess. The prince said that it should be considered as paying back what I owed to the fourth young lady." The man raised his head and it turned out to be Qu Yang.
What Zong Si owed her was not really what he owed her. That incident was just an accident. If he wanted to pay her back, it meant that he had completely settled things.
Ning Fu said nothing, changed her clothes quietly, and followed Qu Yang out of the princess's mansion.
At this moment, Yongzhou City was extremely quiet, with only two or three people patrolling.
Ning Fu knew that Qu Yang was very good at martial arts, but she didn't know he was so good. No wonder he became a favorite in front of Zong Si. When the two entered Li's house, Ning Fu realized that her grandmother was imprisoned.
"Grandma." Nymph's eyes reddened.
Kang Yang glanced at Qu Yang, and then thought of the person he saw in Ning Fu's bedroom in the early morning of that day, and seemed to be thinking about something.
"They dare not do anything to me." Kang Yang laughed sarcastically, but he did not lose any momentum. "Take Jingcheng to find Prince Jin. As long as His Majesty can use Prince Jin, the Princess's Mansion will be safe."
"Okay." Nymph nodded.
"Afu, no one can take advantage of you for nothing." Kang Yang said.
Nymph didn't understand.
"Okay, let's go back." Kang Yang looked at Commander Qu beside Zong Si again and smiled inexplicably.
Qu Yang felt a little cold. Everyone knew how sinister and vicious this princess was. Even the prince couldn't get any advantage from her.
After Ning Fu returned, she called Jing Cheng. Jing Cheng rubbed his eyes. After hearing that Kang Yang was imprisoned, he was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "We have to go."
The carriage had been prepared early and the coachman had been waiting for a long time. The princess's mansion seemed to be full of enjoyment, but she also had to be prepared for danger at all times.
Ning Fu couldn't help but ponder. In her previous life, Emperor Jingwen did not completely deal with her grandmother just because of the matter of Li Fang. It was obvious that he was still quite afraid of Prince Jin.
However, my grandmother was convicted in the end, so when the Prince of Jin fell, the subsequent treatment of my grandmother was reasonable.
If we want to prevent Emperor Jingwen from even being able to convict him of a crime right now, we must make the Prince of Jin more valuable.
For example, if the border gets out of control, Emperor Jingwen needs Prince Jin to suppress it, and this time Emperor Jingwen will certainly not pursue the matter of my grandmother.
But such a big thing is not so easy to provoke.
Ning Fu withdrew her thoughts and felt a headache. She protected Jingcheng with one hand. There was a bow and arrow behind her. Fortunately, she was good at it. If she was attacked on the road, she would not be able to care about human lives today.
…
The King of Jin was stationed in the west of Yongzhou, surrounded by mountains and ridges, but unlike the water town of Yongzhou, the mountains everywhere were barren and desolate.
It’s only half a day’s journey from Yongzhou, but the climate is so different.
When they arrived at the territory of King Jin, the tense string in Ning Fu's mind slowly relaxed.
When the carriage arrived in front of the military camp, a tall man came out. Although his face was dusty and wrinkled, he was tall and strong, and could be said to be in good health.
"Prince Jin!" Jing Cheng couldn't help but run towards him with tears in her eyes.
"Jingcheng, little girl, are you hungry?" asked King Jin.
"My grandmother has been imprisoned. You must save her." Jing Cheng begged.
Prince Jin could not help but snort coldly: "Your grandmother is selfish. Even if I help her, she will definitely bite me back in the end."
"Grandma has always loved you the most." Jingcheng said kindly.
"If she likes me, would she want someone close to me to be her lover?" When the King of Jin said this, he became furious. Although decades have passed, he still cannot let it go.
This matter bothered him more than being used by Kang Yang.
When Prince Jin looked up again, he saw Nymph not far away. Although her headdress was a little messy, her beautiful face did not look embarrassed at all. She was holding a bow and arrow in her hand. It was obvious from her posture that she was well-trained and very defensive.
"Is it Cheng Yin's girl Fu?" asked Prince Jin.
Ning Fu nodded and said, "Long live the King of Jin."
King Jin saw that although she was young and delicate, she looked like someone with strong opinions. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It's more like when your mother was a child. She originally wanted her to marry my boy, but your father got the upper hand."
Ningfu forced a smile. She couldn't laugh in her current situation. She missed her mother and father very much. If her mother knew her current situation, she would probably be heartbroken.
The military camp was not very convenient. Ning Fu and Jing Cheng could only wipe their bodies briefly and eat dry food.
"Life in the army is always very hard, so most men don't bring their wives to the barracks." King Jin said. But he was surprised to see Nymph eat a whole dry biscuit. This girl has a strong ability to adapt.
"Prince Jin, I want to talk to you about my grandmother." Ning Fu spoke first.
"What do you think?" Prince Jin looked at her with interest.
"In the eyes of His Majesty, no matter what your true relationship with my grandmother is, he will think that you are one. No matter who falls first between you and my grandmother, the remaining one will become an isolated and helpless person in the eyes of His Majesty, and will be the target of attack." Nymph analyzed.
"How can I help your grandmother?"
"If a war breaks out here and His Majesty needs you to send troops, you will naturally put aside the matter of plotting against my grandmother." In times of trouble, one cannot offend military generals. The reason why Emperor Jingwen allows Prince Xuan's Palace to grow stronger is for this reason.
Prince Jin sighed deeply and said, "That being said, I still cannot rest assured about your grandmother. I have suffered countless losses at her hands, and now I have to be cautious."
Ning Fu knew that he wanted to negotiate. Although he was willing to help the Princess's Mansion, he couldn't do it for free.
"Prince Jin, why don't you just tell me what you want? If I can do it, I will definitely not refuse." Ning Fu said seriously.
"My interests are not consistent with the Princess' Mansion, so I naturally cannot feel at ease. But if our interests are tied together, I can also feel at ease." Prince Jin smiled.
When Ningfu heard this, she understood what he meant. The quickest and safest way to bind interests was through marriage.
"You are Cheng Yin's daughter, and I like you too. If you marry my grandson, I will save your grandmother. How about that?"
